"" Lyon, that tickles~! "Juvia giggled as her hubby kissed her neck. Lyon pulled away, smiling down at her.
" Will I see you tomorrow? "he asked.
" No, I have classes tomorrow, then I'm going to take a swim with Wendy and Erza at the pool. "she said, disappointed.
" Alright, but don't forget our date Friday. "he said." I want to see you more. "
" I wish I could have more time off, but my finals are coming up and I have to study. "she sighed.
" Well, I have a surprise for you Friday. "
" What is it? "
" I can't say... It's a surprise. "
" I'll be there, don't worry. "
Lyon kissed her and hugged her tightly, hesitantly letting her go. He turned and began walking away, waving to her.
She smiled, turning around and gasped. Gray stood there, the cold night air making his breath show.
" Gray? "she questioned." How long have you been there? "
" Long enough... "he said, walking closer.
" Gray, I-"she stopped as he just walked past her, not bothering to say anything. "" Gray? "
He stopped turning to look to her as she called his name." What is it? "he asked.
" You're not... Saying anything... "
" Is that a problem? You're dating someone, and? "
She staid silent. He didn't care at all about her dating someone else. He didn't care at all.
" No, nothings wrong. "she said quickly." I just thought you may care, since I'm dating a Rival of yours... I guess I was wrong. Oh well. "
" I don't care who you date. "he stated bluntly. Juvia felt something snap, almost crying but she held them back with all her might.
" Well then... Good night. "she said, turning and she began walking. Gray stared at her back for a bit before turning back and walking the other way. He still had that urge to go after her, and it grew stronger each step he took, but as always he ignored it and continued walking.
" Gray! "
He turned quickly hearing his name." Juvia? "he questioned since she has just left.
" I forgot to give this back, you left it at my house after the divorce. "she put a fist out to him. He put his hand under her's. She dropped the contents in his hand, it made a clink once it hit his hand.
He looked down seeing two rings. The engagement ring he proposed to her with, the other the marriage ring.
" these are-"
" I'm in another relationship, I don't need the past holding me back. "she smiled, turning her back to him and began walking leaving him with a something missing, something broken. But being him... He couldn't show it, he stuffed the rings in his pocket with his hand. He just turned back and walked down the sidewalk.
" Poor Gray. "
" Lyon? "Gray questioned, stopping again, looking up upon his rival.
" As always, you don't show your emotions, just bottle them up. "Lyon grinned slightly." That's bad for you, ya know. "
" What do you have to bother me with? "Gray asked standing straight, looking taller.
" Nothing really... I guess you've gotten over your past with Juvia... Good. "Lyon said." I didn't want to fight you for her, she's a beautiful and kind woman. I just can't believe you divorced such a woman. Aren't I Lucky? "
" OK, you come to preach about her? "
" No, I haven't... "Lyon frowned, looking depressed." I've come to say you won, I guess... "
" What is that suppose to mean? "
Lyon shrugged." I'm leaving town soon, I won't be coming back. "
" How does that make me win? "
" Well, we won't fight anymore, or see each other ever again. I'm going to ask Juvia if she'll come with me and then we'll leave and never return. I got a job overseas, so I have to move there, no intention of coming back. "
" You're asking Juvia to go with you? "
" of course. "
Gray clenched the rings in his pocket.
" I wanted to tell you before I asked her. "Lyon smiled brightly." I just hope she'll say 'yes'. "

'I'm in another relationship, I don't need the past holding me back. '

Juvia's words rang in his head. She would go, never return. He'd never see her again...
Gray shot his hand out, grabbing Lyon's collar, about to punch him. Lyon's eyes widened, not expecting Gray to lash out with violence since he never had before.
" Gray. "
Gray looked, seeing Erza standing there. She also seemed a bit surprised at him. He never portrayed to such a violent type.
Gray 'tched', letting go of Lyon then walked past him without another word.
