Chapter 6: Spying on Natsu and Lucy

Juvia's POV

After 2 days, Lucy returned, surprising us. Of course and as expected, Gray-sama was very happy and secretly, he puts the chocolate in her locker. When she asked about it, Juvia just acted like she doesn't know anything about it and just said that maybe it's from her admirer.

Juvia didn't like it.

For some reason, Juvia didn't like how this was going...

***

"Juvia~♥" Gray-sama called out and hugged Juvia from behind out of the blue while she was fixing her things. He's getting his chances. "Where do you want to go for our date today?"

He was doing this because he wants to try and make Lucy jealous, who is right beside Juvia and she's also fixing her things.

Juvia faked a smile. "Juvia doesn't want to go anywhere today."

He glared at Juvia for a sec. and looked at Lucy and then at Juvia again. He looked like he was pleading for Juvia to say anything, except what she just said just now.

"Fine. Juvia wants to go to the park." Juvia answered a bit louder so Lucy can hear it.

"Oh, is that so? Then let's go." He said happily and natural as possible and slipped his hand into Juvia's and holds it.

Juvia flinched but didn't let it show because they might get suspicious.

"Juvia, I can't go home with you today." Lucy said with a smile--- And it's a different smile. She smiles like that when she's excited or something. "Natsu and I are going to hang out today and... Just talk."

Juvia could totally picture out Gray-sama's reaction.

"Oh, really? Juvia's happy for you!" Juvia said excitedly. "Juvia hopes that you could confess to him as soon as possible!"

Gray-sama tightened his grip on Juvia's hand so she winced. She got her revenge when she stomped on Gray-sama's foot and he shouted, "Ow!"

Lucy was surprised. "What just happened?"

"N-Nothing, Lucy! Haha!" Gray-sama nervously replied and he bends his knee to reach his poor foot. Juvia could feel his intense glare on her but she chose to ignore it.

"Okay then. See you guys!" She said and sprinted out of the room. She must be really excited for their little date.

"Juvia." He called in a lower voice and he pulled Juvia out of the room. He, again, pulled Juvia to that empty classroom and we got inside.

Juvia sat on the table while he massages his foot. "Juvia, what was that??"

"Well, you tightened your hand in Juvia's and it hurts, you know? So she simply got her revenge by doing that." Juvia explained in a matter of fact tone.

"Because you just said something unnecessary." He said and ruffled his hair in frustration.

Juvia frowns. "But Juvia is Lucy's best friend and as her best friend, she needs to continue on supporting her with Natsu or else, she might get the wrong idea."

"Hm. Okay, you kinda have a point." He said and fixed his raven hair back to its original. "But still, help me out."

"Juvia is helping you out." Juvia pouted.

"And they have their little date today." He sighed depressingly and he looked like he was out of this world.

"Why are you trying so hard even though it's obvious that Lucy won't like you back?" Juvia finally asked. "You two are like strangers... And there's no way that she'll change her feelings for Natsu."
