POV: Juvia
I sat at a table with Gray, Erza, Levy, and Gajeel. Everyone was taking a break from working on the guild and and was now having lunch. Everyone just sat about and ate in silence, nobody saying a word to each other. We were all off in our own little worlds.
"So Erza, where's Jellal?" Mira asked, in a teasing way, as she walked over and placed some drinks on the table. Erza got a little bit of blush on her cheeks from the question.
"Well he left to go finish the mission that he was on, before he dropped everything to get back here to help with Lucy." Ezra replied.
"And when do you think he will be back?" Mira asked again.
"He said that he was going to be back by next week, but doesn't know to sure." She said.
"Hmmm, you sound excited." Mira said as she placed the rest of the drinks down in front of us. In response to Mira's comment Erza almost choked on her drink and Mira walked away smiling. After that it was quiet for the longest time.
"Should we go check on him?" Levy asked, breaking the silence. She had recently been more worried about Natsu, we all were. We were worried about Natsu, who was worrying the crap out about Lucy. He hadn't been eating or sleeping right. He hasn't even left the room since Lucy's death experience. And that was almost two weeks ago.
"No, it might be best to leave him be for now." Ezra said. Levy looked down a her food. Gajeel nudged her shoulder, she looked at him and he gave her a smile. She smiled back and leaned her head against his shoulder a little bit.
"Did anybody bring him something to eat?" Gray asked. Everyone at the table shook their heads no.
"Juvia will bring him something." I said, standing up and walking away towards the kitchen. I made Natsu a simple sandwich since he already wasn't eating much. As I walked out of the kitchen and towards the infirmary I glanced over at the table to see Gray giving me a small smile. I smiled back as I stood in front of the door and took a deep breath. Slowly and quietly, I opened the door. And I heard . . . . . . Crying?
"I'm sorry. I-I'm so s-sorry that I w-wasn't there to h-h-help protect you like I p-promised I would. I'm sorry that I wasn't there to h-help you f-fight. I'm sorry I w-wasn't there in general. Everyone was t-there for you, they w-were there to give you s-support. And that was something that I w-wasn't there to do." Natsu said sobbing every other word. I quietly closed the door and backed away.
"Oh boy." I heard Gajeel say. But that's only because he knew exactly what was going on. I started to lose control of my breathing, and started feeling light headed. I continued to back up, and backed up right into somebody.

POV: Gray
Juvia came out of the kitchen and was heading to the infirmary. I watched her carefully, as she glanced over at the table. I gave her a small smile and she returned it, looking a little worried. I watched her as she continued to make her way to the door. She paused a moment before she opened the door. I saw her take a deep breath as she reached out and opened the door. But she never walked through the door. Juvia stood there in the doorway not moving, and didn't move for quit a while. After about a minute Juvia slowly started to close the door.
"Oh boy." Gajeel said as she fully closed the door, and started backing up. I stood up and walked over to Juvia to ask her what was wrong. As I got closer to her I could hear that her breathing was short and frantic. Before I could say anything Juvia bumped into me and she dropped the plate, causing it to shatter as it hit the ground.
"Oh, Juvia is sorry!" She said as she fell to the ground picking up the pieces of glass.
"Juvia? Are you alright?" I asked her as her breathing quickened and I lowered myself to the ground to help her with the broken plate.
"No, shes not." Gajeel said. "It's not over, she's about to blow give her a second."
"What do you mean she's-?" I started to ask he but was cut off by Juvia screaming and crying, not very loudly but enough to worry me. "Juvia?"
"Juvia's sorry!" She yelled. "Juvia is so sorry!"
"Juvia! Whats wrong?" I asked her, placing my hand on her shoulder and she started to scream again at my touch. "Gajeel whats going on?"
"Shes having a breakdown from what happened to Lucy." Gajeel said. "When she went to bring Natsu food, he was in there telling Lucy he was sorry that he wasn't there to help. While the rest of us were, even if we didn't fight, we were there for Lucy. While he was, well, dead."
"But that's not his fault." Levy said.
"Yeah but it's Natsu." Erza said making a point. After a few moment I started to wonder about something.
"Gajeel? How do you know Juvia's having a breakdown about Lucy?" I asked him. Gajeel looked down at the ground and took a deep breath.
"Not long after Juvia and I joined Phantom Lord, she and another girl went on a mission together. But on the mission they got in a huge fight against the people they were supposed to capture and the girl ended up getting severely hurt. So Juvia brought her back to the guild to heal, but she wasn't going to be able to recover. So she ended up dying, but Juvia didn't show any emotion until the funeral. That girl was the closest person that had ever gotten Juvia."
"That's so sad." Levy said putting a hand to her mouth.
"And now that I think about it, she was a lot like Lucy." Gajeel said. "She didn't look like her, but had the same kind of personality."
"So Lucy reminds Juvia of this girl?" I asked and Gajeel nodded. "So is that why she's like this?"
"I don't think so." Gajeel said. "Juvia had gotten pretty close to the girl. But Juvia was still more to herself, when we were still in Phantom Lord. But here in Fairy Tail, shes opened up a lot more. I think she is a lot closer to Lucy then she ever has with anyone else."
"Juvia is so sorry!" Juvia said as she started to rock back and forth, hugging herself. "Juvia is so sorry, she never meant to hurt anyone!"
"Juvia you didn't hurt anybody." I said placing my hand on her back. She instantly jumped at the feeling of my hand.
'Well here goes nothing.'
I grabbed both sides of her face and made her look at me, and quickly placed my lips upon hers. She didn't move or kiss me back, so I pulled away. The look on her face was pure shock.
"Juvia I've been wanting to tell you for a while about how I feel, and I've never worked up the courage to say it. But now I have, Juvia, I like you. A lot. And I want to be able to call you more than a frie-!" I said trying to tell her my feelings but got cut off by Juvia placing her lips on mine. Not rough or aggressive, to go with her old stalker like personality. But sweet and soft.
"Juvia feels the same way Gray." She said smiling after she pulled away. I hugged her and she hugged me back, and the whole guild erupted into cheers. I looked over my shoulder and saw that Mira and Happy were in the corner giggling.
"That's two out of four! We're half way there!" Happy whispered to Mira.
"Yes but we can't get our hopes up to much, we don't know if one of them will end up well." Mira whispered back. "And they were so close to." I decided that their conversation wasn't a big deal, and finished helping Juvia clean up the plate and uneaten sandwich. I went to the kitchen with juvia to throw the plate away and to help her make another sandwich.
"I'll take this one to him." I told juvia as we walked out into the main hall. She nodded and headed back to the table with the others. I walked to infirmary and opened the door. Only to see Natsu passed out in the chair, with his arms snuggling against Lucy's right arm. I placed the plate on the side table and went to the door, looking at them right before I closed the door.
'Out of everybody that had to be the one thats killing him, it had to be you Lucy.'
And I closed the door leaving them to sleep in peace.
