Juvia POV
"Gray-sama!" I shouted.
My precious Gray was standing by the board of jobs. Without making any eye contact with me, I heard him grunt a 'what is it Juvia?'.
"Does Gray-sama wanna go for a job with Juvia?" I asked, hoping he'll say yes.
"I can't right now, I'm busy. Next time maybe," Gray-sama replied, walking away.
I know deep in my heart that there was no such thing as a 'next time' and 'maybe' meant a big fat 'no'. Nevertheless, I continued to smile.
"That's alright Gray-sama!" I chirped.
I expected that response from my precious Gray but it still hurts my heart. I sat by the bar and sighed to myself. I'm the guild's hopeless romantic.
"Aw what's wrong Juvia?" Mira-san kindly asked.
I stared into her deep blue orbs before I burst out crying.
"Mira-san. Juvia tried everything but Gray-sama wouldn't pay attention to Juvia. Juvia knows Gray-sama doesn't love her back but a small voice in Juvia's heart hoped he does!" I blurted out.
Mira-san looked taken aback by my sudden outburst before smiling sweetly.
"I'm sure he loves you back. He just has a hard time showing it. You know Gray. Such a big tsundere," Mira-san reasoned.
"Maybe Juvia should just give up.."
Mira POV
"Maybe Juvia should just give up.."
What? In no way I would let Juvia give up! My ship! I can't let it sink. Jeez Gray, why must you be so difficult.
"Well Juvia-"
"Mira~ more booze please!" Cana demanded.
I sighed heavily. Looks like I need to postpone this pep talk.
"I'm ending my shift later at 7, why don't you meet me under the Sakura tree. We can talk all about it alright?" I suggested.
I saw Juvia still sniffing a bit while rubbing her red puffy eyes.
"H-hai,"
