Officially Us (Gruvia Fanfic)

Officially Us Pt. 2

And so, Lyon and Juvia spent their time together on their 'date'. They ate on a restaurant, Juvia tried her best to make Lyon happy. However, deep inside, she really wishes Gray to be with her instead. Well, she enjoyed herself, too. Everything that they did was much more fun than she expected.

After strolling around places, and doing different things, Lyon asked Juvia where she wanted to go last before he escorts her home. Juvia then decided, to go to the place where she felt comfortable the most.

On Gray's side

"You did the mission well then, Gray," Master Makarov responded to Gray's reporting. He and Master had a little talk, too.

But Gray saw something that caught his attention. It was a mysterious guy at the door, shows too little skin and you really won't be able to recognize him at all. Except that red mark on his eye that appeared when the cloth covering his face, except his eyes, was blown by the wind.

"Is that Jellal?!" Gray asked Master in surprise. He then saw Erza run fast towards Jellal at the door looking worried.

"Yes. It's him," Master answered.

"But isn't it dangerous? The guild might get caught letting him in!" Gray scowled.

"It's for Erza. He begged me that he will face full reponsibility for everything," the two of them looked at Erza and Jellal who really missed each other's presence. "Erza's the happiest when she's with him." Master continued. Gray sat quietly and didn't respond.

What caught his attention next was Natsu and Lucy, together with Happy and Plue, that looked like they're heading somewhere.

Gray called out, "Oy Natsu, Lucy. Where are you going with just the two of you?"

Happy complained, "Hey.. Plue and I are with them too! Gray is so mean.." Plue complained, too, in his own language.

"We're just going to go to the ocean. Do you want to come, too?" Natsu out-of-the-ordinarily offered. Well, Natsu has his good sides towards Gray too, sometimes.

Gray, who was looking for something to do at the moment, so he decided to just come with them. But Lucy, who was playing along with Erza's plan, complained.

"No, Gray. Uh.. Why don't you look for Juvia? Okay, bye!" Lucy said nervously while grasping Natsu by his arm as they all rushed out. Gray was left dumbfounded.

He let out a big sigh and bid goodbye to Master Makarov. He went out to kill time again. It's almost 4:00 PM already, and Juvia went out with Lyon at 12:00 PM. They took their sweet time, huh? Gray thought.

When he stepped out, he wandered around, thinking about what to do. He just came from a long, tiring mission so he wasn't really in the mood to go to another one today. But he also doesn't feel like resting at all. Jellal and Erza's having their time. Natsu and Lucy, too. And the same goes to Gajeel and Levy. While Juvia, is currently spending fun time with Lyon right now. Gray was left out.

He let out a big sigh again, and placed his hands in his pockets. He decided to go to a certain place. It's in the middle of the forest, and he thought that it would be nice to watch the sunset there.

On Juvia's side

"Juvia-chan, how did you know this place?" Lyon asked in surprise. There's a large lake in the middle of the forest, and you can actually watch the sunset there.
