Sorcerer Weekly (Gruvia)

Chapter Three ~ Whats important

The next day

~Grays POV ~

I don't understand what's wrong with me, Juvia's right. Why do I Care? What she does is her own business, she doesn't need me to protect her.

I walked into the guild hall and caught Juvia's eye

"GRAY-Sama!" She yelled and ran over to me

She wrapped her arms around my neck "Get off me"

She frowned "I'm sorry about yesterday"

She's apologizing?  I'm the one who was in the wrong.

She smiled " I was wondering if you wanted to go on a job with me today?"

Before I could answer, Natsu yelled across the guild hall "Yo ice princess, we're going on a job! You coming? Or are ya to busy with your girlfriend."

I looked into Juvia's hopeful eyes and yelled back "Ya I'll come, I've got nothing important to do"

Juvia's smile fell "I hope you come back safe"

I patted her head "See ya Juvia"

As I was walking towards the Train station with Team Natsu, that same magazine caught my eye.

Juvia

I walked towards the stand.

"I knew I'd be seeing you again, just the way you were starring at the girl." The shop keeper smiled

"I wasn't starring" Gray blushed

"Your a man, sometimes it's okay to stare. So are you here to place a bet?" The shop keeper asked

Should I? If I wanted to date Juvia all i'd have to do is ask. Why would I pay out money for it?

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a boy about my age walking up to the shop Keeper " I'd like to bet 10,000 jewels"

The shop keeper smiled and wrote down the bid "How about your friend?"

The boys friend was staring heavily at a picture of Juvia "I'd pay 12,000 to spend the night with her. Imagine the sounds she'd make"

I felt my blood boil, Juvia isn't something they can just buy, she's a person. If anyone would be spending the night with her, it's me.

Wait what...

"Isn't it just a date?" The other boy questioned

The boy laughed " Ya, but A girl like that puts out for any guy. One dates all it will take to get her legs around me"

The boy flipped to another page in the magazine "She's basically asking for it, I get hard just looking at her"

Ice started forming below the mans feet.

I couldn't hold my temper anymore "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?"

"Dude what is wrong with you! Let me go!" Half his body was covered in ice

"Juvia isn't that type of girl! If I ever hear you talking about her like that again, you're gonna be sorry" I threatened while walking away from the stand

"what was that about?" Lucy asked

"Don't worry about it, let's just go" I mumbled

Erza gave me a knowing look "You seem a little on edge"

"Just leave me alone!" I snapped

We made it to the train station in no time, and I was about to step on the train when I froze.

What if one of those two win the date with Juvia? They could take advantage of her.

No, Juvia's a wizard, she could fight back.

But she'd never want to hurt them, and they could drug her or something

Why do I care so much, it's not like I'm in love with her

"Common gray! We're gonna be late for the job!" Lucy snapped me out of my thoughts

Erza looked concerned "You've been getting distracted really easily lately."

It doesn't matter weather or not I love Juvia. I have to do this for a friend, my guild mate! Then I won't have to worry anymore.

I sighed "I can't go with you guys"

"Why not?" Lucy asked

I stared back at the magazine stand "There's something more important to me"

I started walking away from the train station

"Hey man where are you going!" Natsu yelled after me

Erza grabbed Natsus scarf "let him go Natsu, he's finally starting to realize his feelings"

Natsu looked confused "Feeling about what?"
