Natsu's POV:

"What's up?" I asked, and Lyon smiled. It was kind of eerie, but I smiled back awkwardly.

"I just had some questions for you," he said. Lyon held his hand out to me, gesturing for me to grab ahold of it. I hesitated, however in this situation I felt I had no choice but to oblige. So I placed my tiny hand on top of his large one. Dammit, I thought, why are my hands so small?

Lyon led me out of the guild and to a secluded spot by a lake and sat down in the grass. "So, you're in love with Gray, right?" His question surprised me a bit, and I felt my face go hot.

"N- no. Where on Earth did you g- get that idea?" I stuttered.

"Haha, it's clear as day," Lyon laughed. "It's fine though, I won't judge or anything. There's someone I love too, after all. Juvia."

"But her and Gray are together."

"Exactly. That's why I need you to work with me to break them up," Lyon said with a smirk. "Seduce Gray and make him leave her. It should be easy enough. He's not straight, so it should be easy to make him leave her for you."

I thought about it for a minute. It felt wrong to do something like that, but I wasn't sure if I had any choice. I secretly wanted to break them up more than anything, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to stomach the idea of ruining two people's relationship.

"So, you'll think about it?" Lyon asked, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"No," I said. "...I'll do it."

Gray's POV:

"Dear, I made you breakfast," I said, placing a plate of freshly-made pancakes on the table. Juvia walked out of our bedroom wearing her blue night gown. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.

"Thank you, Gray-Sama," she said and sat down at the table. "They smell really good." She smiled and started to eat.

I heard the phone ring, and quickly rushed to answer it. "Hello?" I said.

"Hey, Gray. It's Lyon," Lyon said through the phone. "I was wondering if you could do something for me... it's kind of important."

"Yeah, sure." I said. "What is it?"

"I can't talk about it now, it's too dangerous. I just need you to meet me at the guild tomorrow, and we can go from there," Lyon said. "Okay?"

"Uh, okay.." I agreed then hung up. I walked back into the kitchen and poured myself a drink.

"Gray-Sama~ Juvia wants to go out with you tomorrow~"Juvia suddenly declared. "Do you think you and her could go out tomorrow?"

"Oh, I have plans already," I said.

"Plans? With who?"

"Lyon. He just called me and asked me to help him out with something."

"With what?" Juvia asked. "How does Juvia know you're not going out with Natsu again?"

I felt my whole body jerk. "What do you mean, babe?" I asked. "Why would I go out with Natsu?"

"Oh, come on.. Juvia knows that you loved him," Juvia scowled. "But he turned you down, so you settled for Juvia. Juvia isn't stupid."
