Denying Part 2

06

Alex's eyes flutter open to see the usual morning scene, Juvia's bedroom.

Surely it has been quite some time since he met her but Juvia insisted that Alex stay.

As Alex scratched the back of his neck, he realized that Juvia was laying beside her with a restless look on her peaceful face.

'Shit' Alex thought, 'how could someone this restless look so beautiful'

Despite Juvia's black rings around her eyes, her not so princess-like sleeping position, and her hair that would look like a mad scientist the first thing in the morning, Alex still thinks she's beautiful.

Right, she didn't need to be perfect just to be 'his'

"Nggg- Uhmmm" Juvia's nose wrinkled as her long legs kicked the sheets off the bed.

"Chill, mad woman" It was Alex's term of endearment for Juvia, like how Juvia called him a 'mad man' in return.

"Oh shut it mad man" Juvia's eyes rolled at him. "Should I make breakfast?" Alex offered.

"You cant even move your body" Juvia countered. "Yes I ca- Agh" Alex immediately regretted the moment he tried to get up.

His body was tired to the fullest extent and his brain felt like Attack on Titan deep in it.

"Alex really smells though" Juvia said as she covered her nose. "I'm going to shower" Alex said.

"Like you could" Juvia rolled her eyes with her matching petite smile. "Wait a second"

When Juvia returned, she had a bowl of water and a damp towel. Alex was taken aback when she tried to pull his shirt off.

"W-What are you doing Juvia?" Alex's eyes widened. "Stripping you of course" She said nonchalantly.

"Why?!" Alex was on the verge of panicking. "Juvia is just gonna wash you up with a damp towel, I mean you can't get up right?"

Alex mentally slapped himself and his dirty thoughts. What the fck Alex, he thought to himself.

Alex stripped his shirt off and threw it into the hamper where they kept their 'to wash' clothes.

Juvia's cold fingers had a soft grip against Alex's wrist as she used her other hand to wipe the warm cloth against his creamy white skin.

"Agh" Alex gritted his teeth due to the towel's hard material. "A little.....softer? Please" Alex pleaded.

While he was completely clueless, Juvia couldn't help but drop her jaw when she could see his eyes plead to her.

They were unfathomable. It felt like Juvia was falling for him all over again. Indeed, Juvia is in love with Alex but she was completely clueless of her feelings for him.

"I'm s-sorry but I need to go to the toilet" Juvia rushed to the bathroom and locked the door behind her.

Her hands were leaning against the sink. Her breathing was heavy and she felt warmth rush along her cheeks.

"Juvia, what is wrong with you?" She said to her reflection on the mirror. She slapped her cheeks, hoping to wake up in reality but it was no use, her cheeks turned brighter pink.

"Juvia!" Alex called. "I'm coming out" Juvia rushed outside and felt a warm body crash into hers.

They were both on the ground with Juvia on top. Due to collision, their noses touched for a second. The damp cloth also restrained their lips from touching but that didn't stop them from blushing.

'Let's stay like this for a while' Alex thought. But he obviously couldn't say it and time stopped for no one, or did it?

On reflex, Juvia immediately got off Alex and dusted her clothes off as if nothing happened. She offered Alex a hand which Alex hesitantly took.

Alex wanted to avoid the awkward tension they had at the moment so he thought of a random topic.

"Weren't you and Lyon supposed to talk yesterday?" Alex asked. "W-Well yeah, but that was until Alex passed out when we were picking a dress."

"Oh, I'm sorry I got in the way of your date" Alex said as he sat on the bed, feeling guilty for ruining Juvia's time with Lyon.

"I'm pretty sure Lyon is just going to apologize. I mean, the last time we went out was when we were crazy drunk I don't even remember. It was Cana who told me all about it" Juvia confessed.

'Oh yes you were drunk alright' Alex thought while remembering Juvia's drunk confession.

But Alex didn't get his hopes up on Juvia's drunk confession. She wasn't in the right mind and she was completely irrational at that time.

"But, Juvia, mind if I ask you a question?" Alex said as he stared right into her eyes.

"Shoot" Alex took a deep breath before saying "So, are you really, madly, deeply, in love with Lyon?"

"W-Where is this coming from?!" Juvia bit her bottom lip. "Just. Answer" Alex said.

Juvia sighed "I don't. Not anymore" She fiddled her fingers like a six year old confessing that she broke the vase.

Her words made his heart thump against his chest like it wanted to escape. "Shit" Alex cursed, loud enough for he himself to hear.

The words 'I don't. Not anymore' made Alex hope it was him who she was in love with. He really did, he was in love with her after all.

"But I'm not in lo-" But before Juvia could finish, Alex was on the floor, colder than his ice.

Alex woke up the day after that and boy was he surprised. He was in an all white room, tired and all. He turned his head to the left and saw Juvia dabbing tissues into her puffy red eyes.

"J-Juvia?" Alex said with his frail voice. Juvia slowly shifted her head towards his direction witg her puffy eyes wide open and joyful.

"Alex!" Juvia immediately walked up to him and gave him a hug or more like a suffocation.

"I-I thought I'd never see you and your wonderful eyes ever again" She said, on the verge of crying. She gave him a quick peck on the forehead before saying "I love you so much, Alex"
