Yea, We're Just Best Friends

23. Yea, We're Just Riling Up Our Lovers Pt.1

The weather was cold. Maybe just a little too cold for Juvia, but she knew she'd get past it.

It was a Saturday, and she was feeling a little lonely.

She looked out her window and watched as the children played around the street.

"Stupid Kids. Don't get ran over".

"Juvia". Juvia jumped around to face her father.

"F-Father. Yes father?". She sat up from her bay window and walked over to him.

Her father cleared his throat and signaled for someone outside her room to come in.

"Gray is here. Leave your door open please". Her father gave Gray a look before exiting her room.

Juvia watched as Gray bowed and walked over to her bed.

"You look so lonely. Actually this whole room feels so depressing". Juvia watched as he took off his shoes and laid down on her bed.

"Come here". He patted a spot on her bed. "Tell me bout your day".

Juvia gave him a little smile, but trudged over.

She didn't want him here.

"Why are you here?". Juvia sat down on the bed and gazed at him.

"Soo. Friends can't visit each other". Juvia shook her head. She replayed what Blaire said to her at the park in her head.

She gulped. "No. Just like why did you come by without texting me or something". She fiddled with her fingers.

Gray sat up and analyzed Juvia's side profile. She was looking down at the ground.

"This isn't new. So what's wrong". Gray was growing a little irritated. Juvia has been acting some type of way.

All he did was feel helpless. She was sad and he didn't know why.

Juvia shrugged and continued fiddling with her thumbs.

"Alright then we're going somewhere". Gray sat up and squatted down in front of her.

He grabbed her hands and brought them to his chest.

Juvia tried to control her blush but she couldn't. She was straight up a tomato mess.

"W-What are you doing?". Juvia tried to retreat her hands back.

"Oi stop that. I ain't gonna sit here and watch you be gloomy. We going somewhere". Gray stood up and walked over to her closet.

"So what do you wanna wear?". Juvia sat stunned as she watched Gray. Her Gray.

She couldn't help the smile that decorated her face, but it soon disappeared as she thought about how..Her Gray wasn't actually hers anymore.

"Gray—uh sama". Gray paused as he was about to reach for one of her skirts.

He turned to face her with a smile. "You called me that again". He couldn't help the childish grin that painted his face.

Juvia blushed. "You have a girlfriend Gray". Juvia looked up to meet his eyes.

Gray frowned as he slowly approached her. "What's up with you and that".

Gray watched as Juvia bowed her head down and retreat her bottom lip into her mouth.

"You act like I'm not allowed to have friends even when I have a girlfriend".

Juvia looked up at him for a split second before sighing and standing up.

She wanted desperately to forget about what Blaire said, and enjoy her best friend's company.
