Chapter 7: Love Rival

-Erza P. O. V.-

After I beat Natsu up for thinking jumping off the roof would be a good idea, we all decided to go to the fire pit to meet Wendy's friends.

"They should be there by now." Wendy said in her soft, timid voice. She was ADORABLE! Whoever gets to date that little cutie will be a lucky boy!

"Chelia should be there at least. My sister came back to me after she ran into you and then mentioned something about meeting you and the other kids at that lovely fire pit!" Sherry chimed in.

"I'm looking forward to meeting your little sister, Sherry." Lyon spoke. " You always talked about her."

Gray had his arms crossed. "You haven't met her sister yet?" His voice sounded slightly annoyed.

"Sherry didn't join us on the roof until after her sister left for the fire pit." He answered.

"Is that why you came down here?" Gray shot back, sounding more annoyed.

"Sherry, didn't you mention before that your sister was in love with someone?"

Ultear looked worried that Lyon had avoided Gray's question. She looked at gray, sending him a glare that looked something like "Don't cause a scene." Gray rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. I'm going to my room. I got to unpack my bag." Gray turned back towards the dorm and left our group headed towards the fire pit.

"Juvia will go with Gray-sama!" Juvia ran after him. I smirked. I was a Gruvia shipper. Actually, the head one at that, even bigger than Mira. I knew Gray has feelings for her deep down, but he's too much of a tsundere to admit it. Like I can complain. I'm too shy to admit my feelings for Jel-

"My darling Erza!"

I suddenly snapped out of my thoughts. All of my friends were standing there, staring at the horror in front of me.  We arrived at the fire pit. The Trimens and Jenny of Blue Pegasus were there, along with a younger pink haired girl and a younger boy with dark purple hair. Those two must be Wendy's friends, but this was not time for introductions. Standing in the center of the fire pit, staring right at me with a huge smile that made my eyes bleed and my vision impaired was...

Ichiya...

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!"

That's when I blacked out.


-Gray P. O. V.-

I shoved my hands in my pockets and started back towards the dorm.

"Gray-sama!"

I looked behind me, not stopping, and saw Juvia run up beside me. She walked on my left with me. "What are you doing here?"

"Juvia thought that Gray-sama could use some company back at the dorm."

I smiled. "Thanks Juvia. I'm sorry I just took off like that."

She nodded. "Juvia understands. You and Lyon..."

I frowned for a second. Lyon and I have a... complicated relationship to say the least.

"Yeah. I hope it doesn't bother you."

She shook her head back and forth. "No, No. It's fine. Juvia also has a lot of things to unpack."

I chuckled. "Yeah, like your Tere Teru Bozus, your umbrella, and I can't forget about your amazing doll collection, right?"

She blushed. Mission successful. "H-How long has G-Gray-sama known...?"

I chuckled again. "Zeref. We're pretty tight, you know. You told Lucy, Levy, Erza, and Meredy, Meredy told Mira, Mira told Mavis, for whatever reason, and Mavis told Zeref. I don't mind. It's actually kind of cute. And it wasn't surprising. You are the Club President of the Sewing Club."

She seemed to cheer up a bit as we went through the door of the dorm. "Thank you, Gray-sama."

I smiled at her, right as a strong arm slung itself around my neck and a pair of large breasts pressed up against my right side. "Hey there, Gray. Welcome back.~"

Juvia pouted with jealousy as I scratched the back of my head with my free arm. "Love Rival..." I heard her mumble.

"Hey there, Cana."

She looked at Juvia as she took a swig of her bottle in her right hand. "Hi there, Juvi. You have a good summer?"

"Juvia had a perfectly fine summer. Thank you very much."

Cana started walking down the hall of the dorm, dragging me with her with her arm, still firmly wrapped around my neck. Why was she stronger than me? "Anyway, Gray, I had a fantastic summer. Would you like to go somewhere and talk about yours?~"

I swear she has a crush on me or something.

Juvia stepped in front of us, luckily. My hero, I guess. If she wasn't here, I don't think I'd be able to get away from her and she'd drag me to her room and do... things... Cana's a bit of a... mature girl.

"Gray-sama was going to go unpack his bags. Juvia thinks you should let him do that."

This is the most awkward way for two girls to "fight" over a guy, ever.

Before Cana could even retort, something flew right between our heads.

"Don't aim for the them! I said shoot the ceiling! Shoot the ceiling!"

"Don't yell at me, Laki! Just because you don't have a boyfriend doesn't mean that anybody else can't! I don't have one either, but I won't stop displays of affection! Stop whining. Woman up!"

"Don't you quote Big Hero 6 on me, cowgirl!"

We looked at the end of the hall and saw two girls standing at the bottom of the staircase to the second floor. One had green hair and a cowboy hat holding what looked like a rifle. I'm assuming that she's the one who fired at us. The other had violet hair and glasses and a red bow on her head. I remember these two.

"Hey Bisca. Hey Laki." I said.

Cana withdrew her arm, thankfully, most likely to avoid any more complications.

"Hello Gray. Juvia. Cana." Bisca said with a smile.

"Hello Pervert. Stalker. Sex Fiend." Laki was a different person. She was very strict about PDAs, but I'm sure she has a guy that she likes.

"Hello Bisca and Laki!" Juvia was happy that Cana had taken her arm away.

Cana, was not happy that two more people were hindering her plan. "Hello Cowgirl. Buzzkill."

Laki furrowed her brow at her. "Don't you dare let me catch you doing something indecent again!" She stomped up the stairs.

"Sorry about firing at you. I don't agree with it, but Laki told me to shoot to get your attention, and if I didn't do it, she would. I've seen her fire my gun here, and her aim is worse than her tolerance for love. Even if you did get hit, this is a cork gun. It'd feel like you got flicked in the head."

Cana smirked and walked over and slung her arm around Bisca's neck. Juvia and I smirked, knowing just what she was going to do. "So, Cowgirl, have you confessed to Alzack yet?"

That did it. Bisca's face turned a deep red and she immediately ran up the stairs. Juvia ran after her, probably to comfort her.

Wait a sec... "So, Gray, would you like some help unpacking your bags? I'd sure like to see the inside of your room.~"

Shoot...
