The Painful Pitter Patter of the Heart.

Summary: Juvia decides that if you truly love someone, then you would put their happiness before your own. But can she really do something that she's dedicated her whole life to?

Chapter 1: For the one you love

"Gray-sama! Juvia really, really likes you today too!" The blue haired Fairy Tail mage cried out, hoping with all her heart that her feelings would finally get through to him.

Gray was feeling worn out and aggravated at the moment. Not only had he just lost a fight between Natsu, the salmon coloured haired teenager continued rubbing it in his face the whole morning. He couldn't put up with her weirdness today. What exactly was she trying to achieve?

He went to sit down at the bar and ignored the water mage, as he rested his chin on top of his hands. The black haired mage could feel a headache beginning to form and sighed out loud. Juvia skipped happily towards him, and held two tickets in her hands. They were two movie tickets to the newest movies out on cinema, and she hoped with all her heart that her beloved Gray-sama would come. She mustered her best cheerful voice and continued to skip to him.

"P-please Gray-sama, Juvia w-wants you to-!" She yelled, stuttering. "Please would you go-"

"Would you just give it a rest already?"

Juvia's eyes widened and quickly shut her mouth. She looked at the black haired mage with surprise, and she could feel her heart shattering.

"Look, you're really annoying, and you never leave me alone, just go do something else with your life and stop bothering me!"

Juvia could feel her eyes welding up with tears, and the thunder clouds came rolling in. She dashed away from Gray as fast as she could. The guild was deathly silent, and Gray realized what he had just blurted out to her. He was about to get up and chase after her, but then at the last minute, decided against his decision.

"It's all for the best..." he murmured, and buried his head into his arms.

Juvia ran as fast as her legs could run. The horrible words kept echoing in her head, over and over again. Gray never said things like that to her before, but now she knew that there really was no hope; it really hurt her unprepared heart. She thought that she would finally find love...

But he found her a nuisance, bother-some, and what not. He hated her.

She closed her eyes to shut out the world, but slipped, skidded in the mud, splashes of mud flying everywhere, and the rain began pouring.

Harder, and harder.

It drove people off the streets, and she couldn't stop the overflowing emotions. She stared at the ground and the two cinema tickets on the ground. The mud began to soak her form, but the blue haired girl didn't care. The tickets were most likely wet, beyond usage, but she didn't care. All she really wanted to do was cry.

So she did, as the sky cried with her.

She brought her knees up and curled her arms around them, huddling her form. She was sad. That was the only word to describe it. Not to mention lonely. Her rain drove everyone away; the rain was gloomy and a... nuisance. She choked on her depressing thoughts.

The sounds of footsteps woke her from her trance. She turned around excitedly and her eyes fell slightly at the sight of Gajeel. He offered a hand and Juvia took it and lifted herself up.

"He... doesn't like Juvia, Gajeel-kun..." Juvia's eyes were downcast. "He... hates Juvia!" Gajeel had a pretty good guess who 'he' was.

"Psh, who cares, that guy doesn't deserve any affection from you anyways!"

"Even if you say that... it's not that easy to fall out of love." Juvia gave him a half-heartedly smile. The metal dragon slayer didn't know how to respond.

"Yeah... Just cheer up already—this rain's pissing me off."

Juvia cracked a smile at Gajeel's method of cheering her up. The rain died down to a sprinkle and Gajeel ruffled her hair and walked off. Juvia sighed, and cheered up at the thought that she wasn't completely alone. The blue haired mage picked up the wet tickets on the ground and used her magic to absorb all the water from the tickets. They were all dry though a bit dirty, but usable. She decided to try and take her mind off the current situation and watch the movie by herself... Hmmm, just maybe...

She didn't want to waste the other ticket either, so she grabbed the tickets and ran. She ran as fast as she could and caught up to the strolling metal dragon slayer.

"Gajeel-kun, please come and see a movie with Juvia!" She was out of breath and could barely form her next sentence.

"What the hell for?" He had to wait for a bit to let her catch her breath. She straightened herself up and looked at him determined.

"Juvia doesn't want to watch it by herself… and besides, Juvia doesn't want to waste the tickets..."

"Like hell I wan-"

Gajeel stopped when Juvia bowed her head in disappointment, and he immediately felt bad for turning her down.

"Why don't you go see it with the person you were going to see it with...?"

The metal dragon slayer instantly stopped and with a stab of realisation of who she was going to ask. He scratched his head awkwardly.

"Ahh, well if you make the damn rain stop, then I'll go with you," He felt so much better when Juvia gave him a charming smile, "Urh you know it's because I don't have anything else better to do..."

Nice cover Gajeel.

Juvia smiled.

"Yeah Juvia understands!"

The two mages arrived at the cinema and were on time in getting a seat. Gajeel had died and his spirit left him, the moment he knew that the movie they were seeing was a romantic movie. All horribly sappy and shit. He forced himself into the cinema and sat down with a large bucket of pop-corn.

The movie began to roll and after two hours the film had finished, and Juvia's eyes were filled with tears while Gajeel looked rather stoic.

"Juvia can't believe she died and gave him up like that, even though she loved him so much!" Juvia sobbed out loud while coming out of the cinema. She loved him, just like how Juvia loves Gray.

"Yeah, and how he realised that he loved her as well!"

Juvia blinked her eyes in surprise and stared at Gajeel with wide eyes. He froze after realising what he had said, and quickly collected himself.

"Yeah, it was an alright movie for a chick flick," he shrugged and quickly seemed uncaring.

Juvia laughed loudly and then the metal dragon slayer cracked a smile.

The movie really inspired her, especially one line: if you really loved someone, you must put their happiness before your own.

She really loves Gray-sama... no, Gray, and if he wanted her to stay away from him, then she would do it for him, no matter how much it hurt. She could feel a tight feeling in her stomach, but tried to force it away.

She felt a bit happier that she could work to make him happy, and that was all she could do for him. She could feel her face fall a bit, but a pair of rough fingers suddenly grabbed her cheeks and pulled on them.

"OWWWW!" She looked into Gajeel's close face.

"Stop being so emo after I forced myself to watch the stupid movie with you!"

Juvia laughed at the fact, "Thanks for being here for Juvia; let's just get some food before heading back to the guild!"

"Yeah, and your treat," Gajeel smirked.

"Yeah, sure," Juvia playfully rolled her eyes, but she smiled none-the-less.

Gray decided to go for a walk into town to try and cool his head when he spied Juvia and Gajeel walking together—laughing in the distance, as if they were having a good time.

As he looked as them, he felt a pang of annoyance surge through him.

His headache increased tenfold, and he walked back towards the guild, the opposite direction of where they were heading to. Why should he care what she does and especially with whom? He suddenly lost his appetite for caramade franks and walked a bit quicker before she noticed him.
