It's amazing how you
Can speak right to my heart.
Without saying a word
You can light up the dark.

Prologue

"What did you just say, icicle pants?!" Natsu Dragneel shouted at a certain ice mages' face while he raised his fist at the latter.

"It won't matter if I repeat it again. Your small brain will have a hard time understanding it anyway" the ice mage, Gray Fullbuster blurted out as he throws a cold glare at his fellow guild mate.

"Are you asking for a fight?!" this time Natsu bunched up a cloth from Gray's shirt in his hand, while wearing a deep frown on his face. Gray tore Natsu's hand from his shirt and returned a cocky grin at the mage.

"You really want to start it with me again, huh?" Gray said as he took his shirt off, "Bring it on, fire breath!"

This is the ordinary scenario a person can see in Fairy Tail. It wasn't long until Gajeel Redfox intervened with their usual fight, making it more chaotic than it was before. It wasn't new to see Elfman scream about manliness while watching their fight or Juvia cheering out for Gray. It was also normal to see some of the guild members not showing any interest in the fight at all. For example, Erza was too preoccupied with her strawberry cake to mind what kind of destruction her guild mates were making behind her back. As well as Mirajane who is simply wiping the counter with a clean cloth while wearing her usual sweet smile.

"Not this again…" Lucy Heartfilia groaned as she took a sip from her juice while watching Natsu land a hard punch on Gajeel's face.

"Don't mind them, Lucy. It's perfectly normal" Mirajane smiled at Lucy who gave another smile in return.

"I know. But I just can't help but wonder when will they ever act their age" Lucy chuckled

"They are born that way and that will never change. Besides, it's their way to show their unbreakable bond. Even though it may not look much like it" Erza said with a warm smile as she was cutting a piece of cake with her silver fork. Lucy just smiled lightly as she looked over at her guild mates once again. Her eyes soon paused at a certain water mage who was enthusiastically cheers for Gray.

"She really loves him doesn't she?" Lucy said dreamily and this time Mirajane went over to watch Juvia as well.

"Apparently she does love him. Even though there are countless moments in which she was repeatedly rejected by Gray" Mirajane said

"From the looks of it, Gray seems to get warm on her recently. That's good news!" Lucy grinned

"Yes, they are. Their relationship somehow got better these past few days, right after the Grand Magic Games" Mirajane added

"Just watching Juvia cheer so much on Gray is so romantic. Not to mention Gray's sudden outburst each time Lyon tries to hit on Juvia. It's really romantic! How I wish I can experience something like that someday" Lucy said as her gaze now landed on Natsu who received a punch from Gray. Mirajane noticed Lucy's dreamy look.

"Oh Lucy, there are different ways of showing love other than cheering for someone or being jealous at another person. Let's say, even the densest person in the world has his own ways on expressing it. You just don't it even if they are showing right in front of you every day" Mirajane whispered at Lucy who understood it quickly and blushed furiously.

"Mira!" Lucy yelled at the barmaid who laughed good-naturedly.

"I know that you know exactly what Mirajane meant, Lucy" Erza said and made Lucy blush even more.

"Natsu is a different case! He doesn't know things like this! He's… impossible" Lucy said, hiding her reddened face in her hands.

"Lucy, love isn't always expressed in words. Sometimes it's better said when a person says nothing about it at all" Erza said as she looked over at Gray, then to Juvia.

Lucy knew all too well what Erza meant. She set Gray as the perfect example to what she was trying to say.

"Yes, I guess… That's how it goes" Lucy said softly

Erza smiled at this. Perhaps, it was the right time to make Lucy realize that she's not falling in love with a stone that goes by the name Natsu Dragneel. Erza was about to put a spoonful of cake in her mouth when Gajeel was thrown right at her back, causing her strawberry cake to plummet into the air and landed unceremoniously on her scarlet hair. Pink icing covered her head as her face darkened.

"Fuck…" Gajeel groaned as he struggled to sit up. When he was about to stand up, a hand clutched the top of his head.

He turned around and saw Erza staring down at him with anger piercing his very soul. Her grip tightened on him, and he can deny that he can feel fear jolting through his body.

"You…. You ruined my cake!" Erza screamed and the whole guild fell dead silent at Titania's outburst.

"Oh no…" Lucy shut her eyes as Erza attacked Natsu and Gray, throwing Gajeel at their direction.

"Oh dear…" Mirajane said softly, not removing her casual smile.

"H-hey! I'm not even involved in this! This is so unmanly! ERZA!"

"Go, Gray-sama~!"

"Natsu! My fish!"

It truly is a normal day at Fairy Tail. Soon enough the brawl stopped, Mirajane treated Erza another slice of her cake. Natsu was stuck in the table with Lucy and Happy where he was bombarded with lectures from Lucy and constantly annoyed by Happy's nagging about fish. Gajeel was sleeping loudly beside Levy who was fighting the urge not the hit him with the book she's reading. Gray was sitting on the bar with Juvia expressing her love to him for the nth time.

"Gray-sama fought too well earlier, hopefully Juvia will be able to do the same as well in her job today" Juvia said and Gray paused from drinking his soda. He put his drink down on the table and stared at Juvia.

"Wait-You have a job? Why did I not know this?" Gray said rather loudly, much to Juvia's confusion.

"Does Juvia have to ask permission from Gray-sama before going on a job?" Juvia asked, and Gray suddenly turned red

"Uh- No! It's just that- you know,uhh…" Gray was lost for words before Juvia cut him off

"Gray-sama is worried about Juvia! This will only make their love develop and…"

"STOP IT!" Gray yelled while covering his reddened face. Juvia stopped and smiled at Gray. She stared at his face for a while, making him uncomfortable.

"What are staring at?" Gray said, and Juvia laughed heartily. Gray stopped and looked at Juvia confusingly. Surely, Juvia loves teasing him recently. And Gray hated it, but loved every bit of it at the same time.

Wait, did he just say that right?

"Juvia thinks Gray is a lot cuter when he's blushing" Juvia replied and Gray looked away from her.

"I'm not cute. You're such an idiot, Juvia"

"Juvia is an idiot when it comes to Gray-sama"

"Haha, cute. Can you please shut it, Juvia?"

"Gray-sama is blushing even more"

"Hey! Stop it!"

"But Gray-sama really is! See?"

"Don't touch me!" Gray grimaced as he swatted Juvia's hands when she tried to touch his face. Juvia smiled, and their eyes were locked at each other.

"I never knew Juvia had beautiful eyes…" Gray thought, and then quickly shook his mind about it.

He quickly averted his stare from Juvia and searched for something else that's worth looking at.

"Yes, Gray-sama is blushing"

"If that's what you think, I won't argue anymore" Gray chuckled, much to Juvia's amusement.

"Juvia will be leaving in a few minutes. Juvia wishes Gray-sama to hold on this for her while Juvia is away" Juvia unclips the butterfly from her hat. She took Gray's hand and placed it on his hand.

"Perhaps, Juvia would prefer it better of Gray-sama would keep it with him wherever he goes. If that isn't too much to ask to Gray-sama" Juvia added quickly, a faint blush evident on her face.

Gray stared at the butterfly brooch placed on his hand. Why would Juvia give him something that was with her for almost her whole life? Not that he don't want it. He knew that if Juvia entrusts him something as valuable as this to him, she must've trusted him more than anyone else.

"I don't mind, actually. I mean, this has been with you for the longest time, and I think this is valuable to you. Why are you giving this to me?" Gray asked, not averting his gaze from the brooch.

"Juvia loves butterflies. Butterflies make Juvia happy and Juvia wants to share the joy to Gray-sama wherever he goes" Juvia says softly, but by the tone of her voice, it seems like there is something in the past that Juvia held dearly within herself.

Gray looks at her with wonder.

"Juvia"

Juvia looked at Gray

"Gray-sama?"

"Thanks"

"Juvia should be the one thanking Gray-sama. He took the rain away" Gray looked away again, feeling the heat rise on his cheek once more. Juvia stood up from the stool.

Gray felt something warm on his cheek.

Juvia placed a chaste kiss on Gray's cheek. Everyone in the guild was watching silently. All of them were surprised at Juvia's straight-forwardness today, but they didn't try to ruin the mood, except for Gajeel, of course.

"Oi, Juvia! Do you want to do the job or not?!" Gajeel yelled at the door.

"Juvia will be there soon!"

As soon as Juvia was about to leave, Gray took her hand.

"Umm… You will be back soon, right?"

"Juvia will not be gone for long, Gray-sama" Juvia smiled as she ran to the door with Gajeel.

A smile slowly crept on Gray's face as he placed a hand on his cheek. Did Juvia just…?

"He liiiiikes her!" Happy squealed and Gray froze before yelling back at the Exceed:

"SHUT UP!"
