MEANT TO BE | GRUVIA

24

"I'm happy that you aren't holding a grudge," Lisanna giggled. Gray ignored her and continued tapping his fingers on the table. Juvia had pulled a chair up to Ciel's table, and they were talking and laughing. He really hated art, at the moment. The bad thing was, he could hear every word they were saying.

"What about the time Kyo ran around the block in his underwear?" Juvia laughed. Lisanna couldn't help but let out a small one of her own. Gray was still unamused. He didnt like hearing all the fun times she had with them.

"Do you remember when Juvia first met us, and she was dared to be locked in the closet with Yuki for twenty minutes?" Ciel asked, barely able to contain his laughter. Gray was starting to hate the conversation less with every word they spoke.

"And they played chess," Rin laughed.

"What else were we suppose to do?" Yuki asked. He thought a moment. "On second thought, don't answer that."

"I remember when Natsu first met Juvia," Kyo said. Lisanna, Gray, and Juvia stared at him, wondering what he was talking about.

"How would you know when I first met him?" Juvia asked. The last time she checked, the four boys just moved to Magnolia. They weren't there her first day of school.

"What are they talking about?" Lisanna asked Natsu. She was feeling slightly jealous.

"Do you remember the summer I went to Rome?" he asked. She nodded. "Juvia came a month after I did. I was only there two months after that, though."

"That was you?" Juvia asked. Natsu smiled and nodded.

"Anyways," Rin said. Gray realized that Natsu and Lisanna pulled a chair up to the other table, wanting to hear the story. "She thought his pink, sorry, salmon, hair was the coolest thing ever. She would always look at it, never having the balls to ask if it was natural. He was so embarrassed he shaved his head almost completely!"

"I thought you had shorter hair!" Lisanna laughed. Levy and Loke laughed too. Wait, when did they join the conversation?

"Juvia, do you remember the necklace you made Ciel?" Natsu asked. She thought a moment, then nodded. For art class, everyone had to make jewelry. She made a heart necklace for Ciel. If he took that class, he probably would have made her one.

"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot," Ciel said. He pulled the necklace from under his shirt. Juvia's eyes sparkled as she picked up the heart. She didn't think he would keep it, let alone wear it every day.

"It's so pretty," Levy said in awe. She wondered if Gajeel would wear a necklace that she gave him. She blushed at the thought

"Isn't wearing jewelry a bit gay?" Loke asked.

"Says the guy in the blue sunglasses," Lisanna said under her breath. Levy was the only person that heard her, and let out a small giggle.

"Doesn't Gray wear a necklace?" Natsu asked.

"What do I wear?" Gray asked, turning around in his seat. He silently cursed himself for getting involved in their conversation.

"A necklace," Yuki said. Now that he was looking for it, he did see a chain around his neck.

Gray pulled the necklace from his shirt, revealing a cross with a blue gem in the center. Juvia was surprised, since she never noticed it. He must have worn it every day, since Natsu remembered it.

"Since when do you wear that?" Levy asked. She was supposed to be the smart one, and she didn't even notice.

"I've been wearing it for six years now," he said sadly. He rubbed the metal between his fingers.
