Falling for You (Navia)

8

"Come eat!" shout Juvia and everyone came to the table to eat. " Smells good" say Levy.

"Gray. I never thought you'd be the one who ends up dancing. After all you hate dancing" Natsu laugh. 

" Will you shut it?!" shout gray "At least I'm making money "

"He's got a point "mumble Levy. 

"Don't join him!" I tell her. 

"So Gray sama. How do you like the food?" Juvia asks him. 

I listen closely and he smiles " Tastes the same as it always has been, delicious". 

Juvia thank him and I could sense something was wrong. We eat and enjoy our food. We clean up and begin to play a game. 

"Whats the game again?" I ask.

"It's hide and seek!" says Lucy " we will be split into two teams and you have to find your spouse! lets see...if your spouse catches you then you lose and they win but if they get the wrong person then you win and they lose. Winners get to drink this bottle of wine that me and gray brought over!" 

"In this tiny house? Too easy!" Gajeel laughs. Gray smirk " But the seekers will be blindfolded!" 

We split up into two groups with Gajeel, me and Lucy hiding while Levy, Juvia, and Gray are the seekers. 

Lucy blindfolded Gajeel, Levy to Juvia, and I to Gray. 

"I said it's too tight!" shout Gray "Are you trying to make me go blind!" 

"Stop whining!" I tell him and spin him around a hundred times even though they said ten. 

I have three seconds to go and hide. 

I look at Juvia and she trips after spinning. I chuckle a little and she smiles. "I can hear you," she tells me walking towards me. I walk backward as she follows me. She reaches out her hand. "Natsu you're really bad at this. I can feel your presence" she giggles. 

Should I lose her? I quickly dash off to find somewhere to find and then I found something strange. In her hallway, there's a strange door where a cloth is covering some part of it up. Someone might've pulled it down by accident. 

Feels like I shouldn't have seen this. I cover it back up and look around and then went inside the room. I turn on the light and wow. It's amazing. The room is filled with colors and mannequins wearing different fashion and teruteru bozu dolls hanging everywhere in the room. I look at a wall that has been covered up by pictures of Juvia and Gray's competition and the after parties. There are even pictures of different people in beautiful clothing. I look around even more and then see a mask. I reach for it but hear a loud crash and leave the room. 

"Juvia? Are you alright?!" I hear Levy shout. 

I see Juvia kneeling down staring at a broken porcelain item that has shattered into pieces.  

"I'm fine. I just bumped into the shelf thats all" she tells us and smile. 

"You're right Gajeel" say Gray "This place is too small. Let's play another game" 

"Ah!" Juvia exclaim "Let's play old maid! I still have those playing cards you bought once" 

"You do?" Gray laugh"It's so long ago now!" 

They begin to chat as if they are still living together and I felt a stung in my heart. 

"I'll clean this up" I mumble and cleaned up the mess. We then sit in a circle and begin to play old maid. 

I glare at Lucy. She's got the bomb. I smirk and grab a card from Juvia and I've grabbed the bomb. I jump. "How!" I shout "I shuffled the cards and exacty calculated that Lucy will be getting the bomb!" 

" Natsu you're bad at math aren't you?" Juvia giggles. 

"Natsu that is cheating!" shout Gajeel. 

"Its call strategy!" I yell back. 

"Okay calm down!" yell Gray " Everyone just calm down for a second!" 

I growl "Stop sounding like the owner of this place! Just because you lived here for a while doesn't mean you're the host here okay! You left this place stop being so familiar with it!" 

Juvia stands up. "Let's go to sleep now" 

Gray also stands up. "Lucy get ready. We're leaving". 

I frown. He's ruining this sleepover!

"Have you a goodnight?" say Lucy and walk away. 

"Wait a minute this is a sleepover! Where do you think you're going?" I ask Gray. 

"I know. I and Lucy have things to do tomorrow so we can't sleep over." answer Gray. 

"Oh, correct. It's the life of a celebrity" I mumble. "But is it more important than your friends?" 

"Natsu enough," say Gajeel "They have reasons to go" 

"Gajeel kun can you and Levy leave also" say Juvia. 

"What?!" exclaim Gajeel. 

"Of course" say Levy. 

"Sorry-" started Juvia but is interrupted by Levy. " No need to apologize. I understand  you" 

Once everyone is gone, Juvia takes out the wine Lucy and Gray brought in. She takes the cap off and begins to drink directly from the bottle. I pull the bottle away. "Juvia-" 

"I'm tired" she says "I'm so tired" 

I put the bottle down. "I know" I whisper and hug her. "I know" 

"Is everything alright?" ask Happy coming out of our room. 

Right. Happy left to play video games in our room after eating. "Yes" say Juvia. 

Happy walk back inside the room to play games again. Juvia looks at me. "I just wanted to show Gray that I'm happy now and he doesn't have to worry." 

"I bet you did," I say. 

"I just wanted him to know that I've moved on and doesn't need him no more" 

"Have you?" I asked her " Have you moved on?" 

Her head tilts up to me and I could see tears forming in her eyes. " Have I?" she asks. 

She looks so vulnerable right now. I lean in to kiss her precious lips but I stop seeing that she's closed her eyes. I kiss her forehead instead. 

One can say that I am definitely falling for her but before I have her fall for me I need to tell her everything about me. 

All my secrets I must show her first and at the same time see all the different sides of her that she's locked away because of her broken heart. 

Not much developed in this chapter. I'm sorry for the late and long updates. I've been depressed and gone into a writer's block. I lost my love for writing and that terrified me and so now I'm trying to start writing as much as possible before I completely end up losing interest in writing and everything else. Writing's the one thing that was able to help me calm myself down and satisfy my desires.
