Protector (Nalu)

Part 8

-Juvia-

When I saw that Lucy ran out, with Erza following suit I looked at Gray-sama who looked a little sad as he jumped off the counter, he took off his shirt more than likely on habit and another big fight broke out. Everything was finally normal. I started talking to Lisanna who was just standing at the side when Lucy walked back in with Erza, I nodded to Lisanna and ran to my friend and hugged her. I saw something I wasn't sure if others did, a cut on her neck, and more on her wrists. I looked at Natsu who didn't seem to see it, he was smiling and dragging her away as conversation struck up more. I went to my Gray and saw him smile at me.

AHHH HE'S SMILING AT ME! GRAY-SAMA LOVES ME. I kept my composure as I walked up to him

"Where have you been?"

It may have just been me but he seemed to look...upset

"Training..."

"Oh...How..h-how was it?"

He looked back to Erza who seemed to be talking to Jellal was smiling and eating strawberry cake, Natsu and Lucy were hugging, Gajeel was leaving, wait..Gajeel..leaving?

"It was okay...hey earth to Juves"

I blushed at the pet name and looked t Gray-sama

"Sorry"

-Gray-

I didn't really know what to do now that I got the word across, I saw Juvia staring at me so I smiled and walked to her, I saw that she was blushing and mentally cursed myself for liking it.

"Where have you been?"

I looked at my hands, remembering I was training with Gajeel and Levy, who was now Levi. She had no memory of what happened, which was good to be honest. The only down side was only Gajeel, I. and Erza knew about this.

"Training.."

I hated that I lied, but technically I didn't lie. I could tell she was worried for me, or for something else but I looked her in the eyes

"Oh..How..h-how was it?"

The shyness in her voice killed me, I knew I shouldn't but I felt something for her, I never knew until Lyon tried stealing her away from me at the grand games.

"It was okay"

I could tell she was watching Gajeel as he left, no doubt to check on Levy, but I couldn't give anything away

"Earth to Juves"

She started to blush, I felt an urge and before I realized what I was doing I closed every inch of distance between us, my lips pressed on hers. I felt the heat resigning from her blush and my own as I pulled away...I ran for dear life when I saw her face, she looked...scared.
