Sweetheart or Tsundere?

End Of Book One

"I would like that." Juvia smiled at him,

"Then we can go now and-" she stopped Gray with a finger to his lips,

"It... it's a kind offer. And I would like to move in. But I can't give an exact answer yet, with this battle I have a lot on my mind." She exhaled,

"Do you still plan to get back together with Lyon?" Gray asked,

"I'm really not sure yet, plus we got bigger things to think about right now." She shook her head,

"How about this then? Will you be mine?" Gray bluntly asked,

Both of them were red as tomatoes, Juvia could feel steam rise from her ears. Gray grabbed her hands, "W-Well?!" He looked so flabbergasted,

"Wait!" Juvia pushed him back with so much force he fell back,

Gray instinctively caught himself, he shot back upward, sitting in a crisscrossed position. Juvia held her cheeks while looking away, she gave herself a light smack on her cheeks with both hands. She adjusted her hat neatly, and coughed once before facing her comrade.

"Juvia will give you an answer when this ends, we can't have our emotions ruin us in this fight. We must focus!" She said,

"You and Lyon just broke up, although to get your mind off it. We could just try and date for a little whil-" she pressed her palm against his mouth to silence him,

"Let's stop talking about this here. This isn't the time or place." She whispered,

"Lyon and Juvia broke up. It's true, we still don't have a clue what's next for us. And our own emotions need to be contained, Juvia can't act out anymore and neither should you both." She explained,

Juvia removed her hand from his lips, "Juvia cannot guarantee we will all survive and any distraction can cost us our lives."

"That's why I need you to focus. I don't want anyone of us to die." She finished,

"I'm still the same as ever, you fight better when you're in love. Specifically when you see someone dealing with me. Can you do the same if Lyon was in my stead?" Gray answered,

He stripped off his shirt, "Gray-sama what're you?! Kyaaah!!" Juvia turned away,

He grabbed her hand and placed it on his muscular chest, "I may be insensitive like they say, but I've got a heart too!" He said,

"Look at me." He commanded,

Juvia looked at him, she could feel the strong and steady heartbeat. She looked at his large hand that held hers in place. She took her hand from his chest and put it down on her lap,

"Your emotions made you gentle, weaker. If you can't use your magic and feelings right, you will lose. You are not the same." Juvia said shaking her head,

"You know I'm not weak. What could change that?" Gray insisted,

"You are not!" She yelled standing up, Gray stood up as well,

"You are in love!" She yelled,

"You're in love..... With me." She said,

"That's right, it's what I've been trying to tell you." Gray admitted,

"I can't be sure someone of your caliber will be single again after this." She shook her head,

"I don't know who to pick yet, that's why I also need you both to wait so Juvia can pi-!" Juvia was silenced by Gray kissing her,

The force of the kiss stunned her, but after a moment she kissed him back. Her hands cupping his cheeks, After feeling her not resisting, he picked Juvia up with her legs around his waist. All he needed was one arm to hold her firmly, the other held the back of her head. Before she knew it, Gray brought her against the walls of the watchtower he made not too long ago.
