Chapter 26: Who?

Juvia's POV

We came home afterwards and Lyon bidded me farewell when we reached the floor where our rooms are in. I couldn't help but feel bad... But still, it's not my fault that I don't have feelings for him.

I sighed as I opened the door, revealing Mira-san sitting on a chair, arms folded and her fingers are tapping on her elbow.

She looks like she's in a bad mood.

"Uh... Is there something wrong?" I asked her and laughed nervously.

She pouted. "Juvia... We followed you on your date with Lyon today and... and..." She suddenly stood up and held me in both of my shoulders. She was staring at me intensely. "WHY DID YOU LET HIM KISS YOU?? DID YOU SAY YES?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO REJECT HIM!"

"C-Calm down, Mira-san!" Juvia said and tried to stop her. "Juvia did reject him, okay? She didn't say yes and was also surprised when he suddenly kissed Juvia on her forehead."

"... Hm..." She lets go of me and folded her arms again. "Ugh, seriously? Okay, okay. I'm sorry for shouting at you like that. I was just thinking that my money got wasted for paying for that pot of plant Gray shattered earlier because he got jea-"

"Eh? Why is it a waste? And why did Gray-sama shattered that poor plant?" I asked, quite worried about the plant.

She stopped talking and started to sweat little drops on her forehead. Mira-san laughed nervously and tucked a hair strand behind her hair. "I-I wonder too... Haha! Forget what I said, Juvia."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "... Hm, okay? Wait, Gray-sama went with you to spy on us?"

"Yeah, I made him to because he's going to be all alone if I left him here." She explained. "We don't know what can happen if we leave him here alone. Who knows? Maybe he'll sing let it go and go to a faraway mountain where we'll not see him."

I sweat dropped. "Uh... Mira-san, stop. It's been 10 or less chapters since that Elsa topic started and I think the readers are hating it."

"Right!" She laughed and regained her posture. "But, they still love me. After all, I'm going to be the one to bring Gruvia into life. ♥"

~•3 days later•~

We finally went home to our place, Japan. The vacation was good, really good but the purpose of that trip was to make Gray-sama rest and I guess, that all ends now. He's going to be busy again, more than ever. Lyon is going to stay at the company for a couple of months and Mira-san... is being Mira-san, yeah.

When we got inside the company, Gray-sama immediately locked himself inside his office nd was doing a lot of works more than usual. He seemed pretty off these past few days. I greeted him a hello the other day and he didn't even reply back or nod. He seems to be having a fight with Lyon... For some reason.

I visited mom today and she was fine. I gave her my presents and accompanied her for like, 5 hours. She seems to be getting better now. I hope she can get out of the hospital in no time so I can hang out with her more often.

And, here I am now, meeting with Lucy, Erza and Levy. We're at a cafe as usual and drinking coffee. It's 6:30 in the evening right now.

"Right... I have something to tell you guys." Erza started and puts her coffee down in the table.

Oh, right. Erza did mention that she was going to tell us something when we meet again. I wonder what it is... Is it a surprise?

She cleared her throat as our eyes are glued unto her, and her only. She looked at us before brimming with a smile. "... I'm pregnant."

"YESSSS!" Lucy shouted and stood up with her arms high in the air. "JERZA BABIES ARE COMING! THEY'RE REALLY COMING!"

"I'm so happy for you, Erza! Finally, you're pregnant with Jellal's kid!" I said happily. I wonder what their kid will look like. Is it going to be a boy or a girl?

"YES, ERZA! I'm so proud!" Levy said next. "Wait, how many months are you pregnant right now?"

"1 month. I just knew about it 2 weeks ago. Sorry for not telling it to you guys earlier." Erza said with a tiny blush appearing on her cheeks.

"THIS NEEDS TO BE BROADCASTED!" Lucy cheered again. She breathes to calm herself and continued, "Hmm... How about we go drinking now? Erza will just have juice and she's exempted."

"Eh?! Now?!" Levy asked.

"B-But..." I stuttered. I suddenly remembered the time when Gray-sama got drunk and he was all emotional. He even forgot what he was supposed to do to me.

"Nonsense! Let's go!"

~•8:00 P.M.•~

It's been almost an hour and a half already and Lucy and Levy were already drunk. I just drank a little and I could still contain myself. Erza was just laughing at the two.

"WAAH! WHEN WILL NATSU PROPOSE TO ME?!" Lucy cried out and tears came out from her eyes. "We've been together for so long and... And-!"

"GAJEEL, I MISS YOU!" Levy cried out as well. "PROPOSE TO ME AS WELL! WAAAHH!"

Erza pats the two of them in their backs. "Get a hold of yourself, you two! I thought you two are good at handling sake??"

"NATSU! MARRY ME!"

"GAJEEL!!!"

"Ah..." Erza and I face palmed at our two drunk friends. This is why I don't want to go out drinking. I'm always the one who's more matured around here.

Suddenly, Erza's phone rang and she immediately answered it. It seemed like it was a call from her husband. Eh? Why? Wait, don't tell me... He's going to make her go home NOW?! WHAT??

"Okay, I love you too honey." She ended her phone and looked at me with pleading eyes. Ah, Juvia's right. She'll go home.

"Uh... Juvia? Jellal said that I should go home now because it's getting late. Is it okay?" I knew it.

How about Lucy and Levy? (T...T)

"F-Fine." I have no choice at all. Her husband is getting worried about his pregnant wife and I'd feel bad if I beg her to stay just because Lucy and Levy are both drunk.

"Thanks! Juvia, you're the best!" She said and gave me a quick kiss on my cheeks before going out of this store. Wah... Erza, why are you leaving me? 💔💔

"Juviaaaa~" I shivered when Lucy puts a shot glass filled with sake in front of my mouth. "Drink more, drink more! We're having a celebration after all!"

"Uh... No thanks." I said before pushing the glass away gently.

I grabbed my phone from my bag and texted Natsu and Gajeel to come and pick these two up. Hmm... Natsu just came home few days ago. I guess he's not that tired and lazy to pick Lucy up since they haven't seen each other for awhile.

When I finished texting Natsu, I long pressed the text and pressed forward and then I selected Gajeel's contact. (A/N: Who does this at Messenger? xD ♥)

When I was done, I put my phone back to my bag and watched the two emotional drunk girls in front of me.

"Juviaaa~! So unfair!" Levy complained. "You're not drinking! Come on! Just one glass, okay?"

"B-But, Levy-"

"It's fine, Juvia~! No one will harm us." Lucy said, agreeing with Levy's statement. She handed me the shot glass with sake in it and said, "Just one glass!"

I gulped nervously. I feel like something bad is going to happen.

Help me guys! (T___T) 😭😭

"Aw, why do birds flyyyy~?" Ah, the birds are flying freely at the sky. I wish I could fly as well. Can I steal their wings? Can I fly with that?

Natsu and Gajeel came afterwards to pick up Lucy and Levy and so here I am, walking towards my home, all alone in this evening.

Ah... Where's my home again?

Oh, I live in the sewer right? I play with rats often there.

I laughed slightly and slapped myself. This is what I get for drinking too much today. Now I'm losing myself! I'm going to be absentminded if this continues.

I feel sleepy and lazy at the same time. I wish I could just lay on the ground and sleep but there's no pillow or blanket. And birds might poop on me the next morning. It would be quite embarrassing if I sleep here too.

Should I just sleep in the bathroom?

Juvia, get a hold of yourself.

I'll just sing then to distract myself.

"Row, row, row your boat! Gently down the street" I sang happily, not minding the people who are staring at me. "Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream."

Ah, that's for kids. I should pick something else...

"Twinkle, twinkle little stars!" I sang. Oh, this song fits today perfectly! The starry night and shiny stars. ♥

Silly Juvia.

She's so emotional. I shouldn't have drank sake earlier. I shouldn't have let them make me drink earlier. I feel like I should cry... Everyone who surrounds Juvia right noe are all couples, holding hands with their partners.

Gray-sama...

Because of thinking too much, Juvia didn't noticed that there was someone in front of her and as a result, she bumped into his back and she automatically put her hand on her forehead and winced.

"Ow... Hey, watch it! Didn't you know that I'm walking here?? I'm not that small to be not noticed!" I complained to the guy in front of me.

He turned around to face me and I couldn't see or make out his face clearly. It was blurry. Ah, this is because I'm drunk. Yeah, that's it. Now, let's just imagine that this is someone who's handsome.

"What the-? Lockser, is that you?" He asked, quite shocked.

I gasped and groggily pointed my finger at him. "H-How... Did you know my surname...? I don't even know you."

I heard him sighing and he face palmed. "I'm right. You're drunk. You should've brought Lyon with you. In that way, he can protect you at this time since he is your boyfriend."

"No, no, no!" I disagreed. "He's not my boyfriend! And, you even know Lyon? She rejected him for the one she likes... I hope he'd notice my feelings by now."

"... You should really go home."

"I was going home but then, I bumped into you and it's your fault." She stuck her tongue at him. "And you haven't answered my question!"

I was about to say something else but I easily got distracted by the birds flying in the air again. I smiled widely and pointed my finger at them. "I'm going to fly like you guys! Just you wait! This girl is going to get your wings and fly higher than you!"

Then people started to whisper around her. Aish, get out you guys! I'm having a moment here with the birds.

"Tsk, you're hopeless." The guy in front of me angrily grabbed my wrist and started pulling me to who-knows-where. "I'm going to get you home."

"Eh? You know Juvia's homeee~?" I asked curiously. Just who the heck is this guy?

"... I'll ask Mira about your address. For now, just zip your mouth." He said casually.

"But Juvia can't zip her mouth." Juvia said innocently. "She has no zipper connected on her mouth, okay?? It's not possible!"

His eyebrows creased and said, "I can't believe you."

"And you even know Mira-san! How?! Are you Juvia's stalker??" I asked and he stopped walking when I asked him that.

"No, I'm not your stalker." He said, sternly. His voice sounded so low.

"Hmm... You're angry!" Juvia laughed at him and wrapped her arms around his arm. "Juvia will kiss you to make you feel better. Chuuuu~!"

She tiptoed on her feet and leaned into his face and even closed her eyes. I guess this is Juvia's first kiss. Oh well! It's fine.

I was expecting lips but he quickly put his hand on Juvia's mouth and pushed her gently. "You don't know what you're doing, Lockser."

I pouted and was disappointed. "Aw... You didn't want to kiss Juvia?"

"What are you talking about?" He asked. "Aish, never mind this. You really need to go home, Lockser. Right now."

"Hey! Why do you keep on calling me that??" She asked furiously and lets go of him. "Gray-sama is the only one who calls Juvia that and you're not him so stop it!"

"But I am Gray-sama."

How do you like that? xD ♥

OmO.
