Meet the Queen || Complete

Chances

Gray skipped afternoon class as he was meeting someone. He don't usually skip classes unless it is urgent or business matters and this one includes on his urgent priority list. He sat at the corner of his favorite snack bar. He loves this place because of their delicious food and welcoming staffs but it's mostly because there are no people in here that will judge him with his family title. Amidst the warmth environment of the place, he couldn't stop himself but to feel a little bit agitated. As he awaited, he can't stop remembering the last time they talked to each other. The confrontation they had and mostly because how her crying affected him so much that he doesn't understand at all. He was too lost of his thought that he didn't recognized that she already entered the snack bar and take the vacant seat opposite to him.

"J-juvia you're here. I'm sorry I didn't s-saw you coming..." he stuttered in a little bit surprise.

"It's fine. I can manage"

He was taken back at how firm she replied at him and how she didn't call him 'Gray-sama' or the fact she didn't use third person calling anymore. How weird this may sound but he misses it.

"Are you hungry? They have their delicious snacks here"

Juvia gather up all her courage and stare directly at him with her puffy eyes.

"I don't want to sound rude but why do you want to see me?"

"I want to have a word with you"

"... If this is about the arrangement, no need to worry. Dad cancelled it already but I encouraged him to still continue the investment. So you do not have to worry at all..." she gently said trying hard not to crack. Gray looked at her intensely and even though she tried to resist the blush from escaping, she can't.

"I already told you to stop staring at me like that" Juvia replied bitterly and suddenly Loke's words suddenly comes to Gray's mind. 'Be ungentleman sometimes'

"You can't tell me what to do and not to do. And that includes to stop staring at you" Gray said harshly. Juvia is wide shock.

"... L-lets give i-it a c-chance..." he announced looking at her with embarrassment.

"W-what are you talking about?"

"Let's give it a chance. The arrangement. However, let's start from the beginning. Let's forgot about our past experience and let's start afresh"

Juvia was astound, couldn't believe this is happening. Yes, she was mad at him for breaking her heart. But she couldn't keep her hatred towards him for too long as he unintentionally touches her heart with his little tactics. Now she's really certain that this gentleman captured her heart and her soul.

Gray take this as a sign to continue. He cleared his throat and initiate the first move.

"Hi. I'm Gray Fullbuster. They say I'm a gentleman but sometimes I think I'm also stupid. Would you like to be my companion?" He said reaching a hand for a shake silently praying that she would accept him.

And thus, his mood abruptly changed as she accepted his hand gesture and smiled delightfully at him with teary eyes.

"...Hello. Gray-sama. I'm Juvia Lockser and I'd love to be your companion..."

And his world stops as he found out what he's been missing.  

XOXOX

Natsu offered Lisanna to walk her to the principal's office with the intention of catching up to her after all these years of being separated. Afterall, they were a very good childhood friends. They continue to walk side by side and overheard random frenchman as they passed by.

"They look perfect for each other! I wonder if they're dating" The girl exclaimed.

"There's rumours that they're childhood sweethearts. If it's true then maybe they're actually dating! Or maybe engaged already!" Her friend replied.

"Really? But they're too young! But, if it's true love then nothing can stop their love for each other" the girl announced dramatically as both of them continue to have their 'awe' moment towards them.

Lisanna couldn't help but to let out a giggle and voluntarily vein her hands to Natsu's arm that gained a squeak from the freshman girls.

"Lisanna, you're showing them malicious intent" Natsu said but didn't shove her hands away.

"Oh my King, let them be. As far as I remember, you don't give a shit about other people's thought"

"And as far as I remember, my little Liz don't know how to curse. Why the sudden change?" He turn his face at her.

"Quite nosy, aren't you?"

"I'm just interested"

Lisanna just shrugged and let go herself from his arm and replied. "It's been  3 years since I'm gone and people change you know."

"I don't like you to change"

Lisanna scoffed.

"I have my sister and brother to lecture me for that. So please, don't start it" she said while pouting cutely.

'Old habbits, die hard' he thought to himself as he chuckled at her pouting face.

"Plus, I've heard you've gotten interest with bad chicks.... Lucy? the blonde from lunch, isn't she?" 

It turns out the table has turned as he was now being interrogated. Natsu looked away from her.

"What are you talking about. She's just a friend Liz. I-I don't even now if we are indeed friends"

"Hmmm..." she hummed as she took a glance at Natsu's gloomy reaction.

Natsu look at her again feeling uncomfortable all of a sudden but then Lisanna just give him her brightest smile.

"I bet she's like Erza"

Natsu smiled stupidly at her statement.

"That's understatement."

Lisanna discreetly examine him and saw a sparkle in his eyes as if he's remembering something from his past experience with this girl name Lucy. She smiled at him with mischievous glint in her eyes that's saying nothing but trouble.

"I want to befriend her. Do you think she'll consider it? As far as earlier, she seems a liitle bit... hateful towards me"

"Don't worry Liz, she may act tough and rough but actually she's really soft hearted on the inside" Natsu announced full of wonders.

Lisanna looked at his facial reaction, by then she knows. 

"Okay! That would be totally great.."

You'll gonna love Lisanna.

Trust me! ;)
