Chapter 7: Stolen

"Do you understand now, Juvia?" He smirked.

Juvia's eyes widened and put her hands onto her mouth.

"G-gray-sama likes J-Juvia?!" She was still processing the things happening at the moment.

"Yeah.. I really do Juvia." He said.

"Juvia is.. Juvia is very happy! Juvia wanted Gray-sama to like her too!" She smiled. her words made Gray know that she accepted his feelings for her. He smiled then hugged her. They stayed like that for a few minutes.

"Um.. Gray-sama?" She said.

"Yeah?"

"Gray-sama c-can sleep on the b-bed with J-juvia.." She mumbled.

"R-really? You don't have to force yourself. I mean, really. I'm fine with the couch. But, I'm not saying I don't want to sleep beside you, it's just-"

"Yes.. Juvia doesn't want Gray-sama to sleep on the couch." She cut his sentence.

"R-right.. So I'll just um, go take a shower." He rubbed the back of his head and then went to the bathroom.

As he went inside, Juvia slowly walked to the bed and sat down. She was just staring at nothing. After a few minutes, she blinked and went back to her senses.

"Juvia is very shocked at this moment.. Juvia never thought that this very moment would come this early.. Gray told Juvia that he likes her.. Juvia feels happy but.." She thought

*Creeeek

Juvia shifted her eyes towards the bathroom door's direction. She was looking on the floor, upwards, finding Gray wrapped in a towel. She looked at him for a little while then blushed. She immediately remembered Lyon. By remembering him, she shifted her eyes away from Gray and frowned as she looked down. Although she understood that Gray liked her, now she doesn't understand what she feels at the moment. Her reactions and expressions on seeing Lyon in a towel was way more exaggerated than how she felt just now. Now that she understood Gray and Lyon's feelings.. Her feelings were the ones left understood. The next thing she knew, Gray was sitting next to her, wearing his boxers and had no shirt on. She looked at him then unconsciously smiled faintly as she saw him. She remembered the time when they were at the beach and had him put sun block on her back.

"-okay, Juvia? Um.. Juvia?" gray said.

"Um, Wh-what did you say?" She asked.

"Uh, nothing.. you can take a shower now.." He mumbled.

"O-okay." She nodded then headed to the bathroom.

As she was taking a shower, she kept on asking herself about why does she feel.. Somehow, 'unsatisfied'? And why does she think of Lyon occasionally? She knows that she likes him but not the way she likes Gray. She doesn't know if her 'different' way of liking Lyon was better or less than how she feels for Gray. She turned off the water then wrapped her body with a towel. She opened the door slowly and found Gray lying on the bed. She looked around for her things and found it by gray's bed side. now she was nervous. She breathed deeply and calmed herself.

After, she walked to Gray's side then crouched down to get some clothes. Luckily, Gray was asleep. she grabbed her matching black underwear, shorts and a tank top. As she grabbed them, she remembered that those were one of those clothes that Lyon bought for her. She laughed lightly when she thought about the time she had to buy her own underwear and Lyon figured her out. She laughed at how she made him stay outside of the shop. Suddenly, Gray groaned. She covered her mouth because she woke him up with her light giggles. She immediately stood up and hid behind the bathroom door, watching gray sit up.
