Denying Part 2

10

Everyone gathered around the old weekly sorcerer magazine Levy held onto a while ago.

It read;

"Top ten most famous mages the kingdom of Fiore would gladly date"

It wasn't the list of hot guys that made Levy shocked but more because Gray was a part of that magazine"

"Number three is Gray Fullbuster! He's an ice mage of Fairy Tail. With Juvia Lockser (Number six of top ten famous mages the kingdom of Fiore would gladly date) as his number one supporter, he catches much attention at the Grand Magic Games which was held just a week ago!"

Everyone looked at each other with a puzzled look. "But Gray just entered Fairy Tail a few months ago and he has definitely never represented Fairy Tail in the Grand Magic Games....that's if he has ever played" Lucy said with her mouth agape.

"And his name here is Gray Fullbuster, we just named him that yesterday and this issue of weekly sorcerer was released three to five years ago." Erza's eyebrows knitted together.

"And it seriously does look like Gray. His guild mark, hair, and skin. It even has Juvia's name in this article" Levy said as her index finger hovered over a text.

"Wait, it says Juvia is the sixth famous mage the kingdom of Fiore would date right? Open it to that page" Gajeel commanded Natsu, who was about to hesitate but considering the grave situation we were in, he had to.

Natsu skimmed through the pages of the semi faded Weekly Sorcerer issue until he found what we were looking for.

"It says," Lily trailed off. "And in number six is Juvia Lockser, Fairy Tail's water mage. She is known to be Gray's stalker, friend and fan. After naming one of her attacks as 'Gray-sama love' in the GMG, speculations of them dating has been going around."

"Juvia is one hundred percent sure that she has never ever played with Gray in the Grand Magic Games"

"Wait, Alex has no recollection of his life before last year right? Then maybe he has amnesia" Natsu said something quite sensible for the first time.

"But if he did have amnesia and was in Fairy Tail then wouldn't we remember him?" Lucy countered.

"Lu-chan is right" Levy said as she placed her fingers on her chin, trying to think about the situation.

"Then we have amnesia too?" Happy said.

"So we all got hit on the head together?" Natsu said.

"Hmm, I wouldn't call that impossible but the possibilty of that happening is quite small" Erza said.

"But Juvia remembers her memories perfectly, even before last year"

"Right, We remember our memories before last year but Gray doesn't" Gajeel said as he snaked his arm around Levy's shoulders.

Juvia doesn't think it's amnesia" Juvia said as she bit her fingernails nervously.

"What amnesia?"

Juvia and her little group of friends were taken aback when they saw Gray suddenly come into the library.

"Hey" Gray said to Juvia and the rest as he gave Juvia a quick peck on the cheeks.

"You two are gross" Natsu said with a face that implied he was totally grossed out.

"You're just jealous cause you haven't confessed to Lucy yet" Gray stuck his tongue out at Natsu.

Lucy's cheeks turned bright pink as Natsu tried to kick Gray's ass. "Stop it you two" Erza said firmly as she grabbed the two and knocked them out.

The group couldn't help but put a smile on their face. It just felt so nostalgic.

Why did it feel so old and warm when they've just met months ago.

The group were in the guild hall, deciding to go on a job that had good pay since the whole group had to join in.

"Let's go on this?" Levy pointed at a paper pinned on the request board.

The request Levy suggested made them pop their eyes out. The price was indeed jaw dropping.

The mission was to save a this person from the captors. No further information was given.

"You in?" Gray asked Juvia. "Juvia's in to it" Juvua answered. Gray flashed a smile at Juvia.

The whole group agreed to do it since the pay was a million jewels and they thought it would be a great opportunity for them to bond.

And though Gray was completely unaware of it, the group wanted to know if he was the Gray Fullbuster the Weekly Sorcerer magazine was talking about.

And also, it was Juvia's way of knowing if she reall liked him, by spending time with him.

But what would Juvia do if she knew she wasn't in love with him? Break up, when she knew that Gray was holding onto her? Or pretend to be in love when she knew it felt so wrong?
