One Might Call This Love (Gruvia)

Chapter Four- Dinner

Juvia pulled her sleeve back down, and sighed.

"Why are you so worried about Juvia anyways?"

After a moment of thought, he turned back to face her with a small smile.

"Why not?"

Her eyes widened as her lips parted a bit. Nobody's ever seemed to care this much for her, so it was a new feeling.

"Did you bring a lunch?"

"N-No."

"You can have some of mine."

Getting up, she followed him down to his desk, where they both sat down. Grabbing his lunch box, he pulled a sandwich out.

"Here."

"T-Thanks."

She pulled it out of the small plastic bag, and began eating. Everything was silent, and she was happy about that. It was the type of silence where you knew you weren't alone, but you everyone was comfortable enough to not say anything.

"Juvia, what the hell are you doing?"

"Huh?"

Lyon appeared beside her, an annoyed look on his face.

"So now we're eating together? Could you two make it more obvious?"

Swallowing hard, she looked down at her lap.

"Juvia didn't bring a lunch today, so I thought I would share mine."

He took a large bite out of an apple, his eyes closed with calm and steady breathing.

"Well that's my job. Now get up, Juvia."

Grabbing her wrist, she dropped her sandwich.

"Eh!? Juvia is sorry! Please let Juvia get this cleaned up for-"

Mr. Fullbuster bent down, picked it up, and placed it back on the table. With a napkin, he wiped the mayo up, and smiled.

"All better."

He silently started eating his apple again, leaving Juvia somewhat surprised. Whenever she made a mess with food in front of Lyon, she would get punished. She heard a grunt from behind her, and turned to see Lyon.

"Come on. This is a waste of my time."

Pulling her up from the chair, he started dragging her out the door.

"Juvia, if you can't make it back to class, I'll have your work prepared for you tomorrow."

She stopped walking, and turned to look at the raven haired teacher. He had a small smile on his face as he pulled the rest of his lunch out.

"What are you waiting for!?"

With the yank of her wrist, she pulled out the door.

"J-Juvia is sorry."

"Whatever. Lets just go and eat lunch."

After a few minutes of walking, she was pushed up against a locker, Lyon less than a centimeter away.

"What does he mean to you?"

"W-What?"

"Don't play dumb with me. Answer the question."

"H-He's just J-Juvia's teacher. What else could he mean to her?"

With a nervous smile, she cocked her head just a bit.
