About changement and differences

Levy loved being a member of Fairy Tail. She loved her guildmates and all their antics. She even liked the usual ruckus at the guild. But she was a rather composed person. So, once in a while she liked to rest in a quieter atmosphere.

And Fairy Hills was a perfect place for it !

Especially when almost all the other girls were gone on mission here or there.

She was on her way for the kitchen when she noticed another girl in the living room.

Blue hair, but different as hers. Fair skin, quite like hers. She didn't know her much. For they had never really talked yet. But Juvia was in the guild since more than a month now … So why not give it a try ?

"Juvia ? Good morning ! You are taking a day off too ?"

"Good morning Levy-san. Yes, Juvia is taking a break today. She doesn't need money and Gray-sama and his friends are gone. "

"I was about to take my breakfast. Wanna join me ?"

"Juvia would be happy to take her breakfast with Levy-san !" answered Juvia smiling

"Great !" exclaimed Levy while the two young women entered the dormitory kitchen "Do you prefer tea or coffee ? I personally prefer tea usually but I think that a cup of coffee wouldn't hurt today. I'm still sleepy …" added her with humour.

"Juvia prefers tea too. She has one that tastes delicious …"

" Ah ! I've got no more tea … Then I guess I'll definitely take coffee today."

"Juvia can share her tea with you if you want. She has a wonderful tea ! It's named Gray something"

"Sure ! Thank you Juvia ! Did you know they say that tea people are more civil, down to earth, relaxed and have a better breath than coffee people. Of course it's only generalization and clichés. But it is still funny to see if it's true or not" she hoped to start a conversation with that.

"Juvia doesn't know about it."

And failed …

"But Juvia often remarked that people who drink a lot of coffee are very nervous"

… Or not ?

"Isn't it ? Butter or marmalade ?"

"Marmalade"

"Strawberry ? Cherry ? Orange ? I love orange marmalade ! Well, I'll put all on the table and you'll choose what you want. Milk and sugar too …"

"Thank you" answered Juvia "the tea is ready"

Juvia poured tea in their cups and they sat to start their breakfast.

"You're right ! This tea is good !"

"Isn't it ! Of course, with such a name it couldn't be otherwise ! " exclaimed Juvia, smiling.

"Yes, Gray something huh ? Tell me if I'm wrong Juvia but … I have the feeling you have a crush on Gray …" asked Levy, amused by Juvia's instant blush and embarrassment.
"Well … Juvia … Juvia … Juvia loves Gray-sama … Is Levy-san interested by Gray-sama too ?"

Her question sounded more like a menace. Juvia could be very cute … And very scary !

"No ! Not at all ! I promise I only see Gray as a comrade"

"… Juvia apologizes if she scared Levy-san. But she already have another love rival and she's worried that Gray-sama could prefers the other girl."

"It's alright but … Can I ask you why you are so infatuated with Gray ?"

She didn't dare to say it, because she didn't want to upset or hurt the water mage, but she found Gray pretty cold with her sometimes so she wondered what could possibly attract Juvia in him, despite his looks.

"Juvia fell in love when she fought Gray-sama during Phantom and Fairy Tail war."

"You fell for him because he beat you ? You want a man stronger than you are ?"

"No. It was like … love at first sight. When she saw Gray-sama, Juvia immediately knew he is the one for her ! And even when they were fighting Gray-sama always was very kind with Juvia. He even help ed her when she almost fell from the guild and … And … Before that, before meeting Gray-sama, Juvia was born the gloomy woman of the rain. Wherever she was, it would rain. And she'd been rejected all her life for that until she joined Phantom Lord. But Gray-sama beat Juvia and now Juvia is no longer the woman of the rain. Thanks to Gray-sama, Juvia can see the beautiful blue sky and the sun. Gray-sama is the one who brought sun in Juvia's life."

"Oh … I … er … I don't really know what to answer to that … I never imagined something like that … I'm really sorry for your story and in the same time, what you just said is beautiful … Well, good luck ! I'm rooting for you !"

"Thank you" answered shyly Juvia.

"So, I can guess why you joined Phantom Lord. You already said that. But why did you join Fairy Tail ?"

"Juvia joined Fairy Tail because … She was impressed by the bounds you have in the guild. Everybody was fighting to protect only one member even if it meant being hurt and the guild being destroyed, even those who didn't know Lucy. There was no such thing in Phantom. Solidarity, friendship, comradeship, caring, … Juvia wanted it. Juvia wanted to know how it feels to be part of this guild. And now, she is very happy and loves everyone here."

"Yes, I understand. It must have been really hard, in Phantom. And it also took a lot of courage for asking to join our guild after what happened."

"No, Juvia's Phantom Lord wasn't that hard. It was her first time finding acceptance and even back then she kinda get along with Gajeel-kun and Totomaru-kun. But Juvia was very nervous when she wanted to join Fairy Tail. But the master has been really kind with her ! "

"Yeah … Of course !" … a pretty girl like you, no way he wouldn't have been "and … You mentioned Gajeel … Was he very different in Phantom ? Do you know why he joined the guild ?"

"Juvia doesn't know why Gajeel-kun accepted to join Fairy Tail. He never talked about it. And yes, it may not be obvious but like Juvia did, when he entered the guild, Gajeel-kun started to change for the better. He was always so lonely, angry, aggressive, and there was something … sad in him. Juvia doesn't think he himself was aware of it."

"He is still a loner but I guess this is just who he is. And I admit that his manners had improved" stated Levy jockingly, she needed to lighten the atmosphere.

"It's different. Juvia doesn't know how to explain it but the loneliness Gajeel-kun had in Phantom and the one he has now in Fairy Tail are very different. He has always preferred to be alone but now he accepts to talks with people. In Phantom he very rarely talked with someone and almost only with Master Jose, Juvia or the other of the Element 4. His way of speaking has changed too. It is less harsh, less gross. And he will never admit it but he is more than loyal to the guild, he cares for it. It's like if Fairy Tail had the power to change people's heart."

"Haha ! It's not the first time someone says it about our guild."

"Juvia thinks that if she changed thanks to Gray-sama, Gajeel-kun changed thanks to Levy-san. She is happy for Gajeel-kun and Levy-san !"

Levy swallowed the wrong way the tea she was drinking and choked.

"Levy-san ? Are you alright ?" worried Juvia.

"Yeah … It's fine. I was just surprised by what you said. Gajeel and I are only friends you know, good friends but still friends !"

"It is more than what Gajeel-kun had in Phantom. And Juvia knows that Levy-san's forgiveness and friendship means a lot to him and that it helped him a lot to adapt to Fairy Tail and to become a better man."

"Really ?"

"Yes." Smiled the water mage

Levy smiled back, pretty proud and happy.

"And now Juvia, tell me something else about you ? Like … Is there something you like to do or is good at ?"

Juvia was really surprised that someone asked her something like this. She wasn't used to it. But it felt good.

"Juvia is … Juvia like to sew. When she was young, she used to sew dolls to play with …"

"Really ?! Awesome ! Do you think you could show me what you did ? And could you learn me a few things ?"

"Yes, Juvia would gladly show her dolls to Levy-san. And can show you how to make dolls. You could sew a mini-Levy-san for Gajeel-kun_"

"Juvia! I told you_" tried to retort Ley.

"Juvia made herself a mini-Gray-sama like this, when he is far away for a long time and she feels lonely she can hugs her mini-Gray-sama doll and it comforts her."

And that is how a big part of the day happened for the two bluenettes, filled with joy, laugh, embarrassment and new bonds being created.

I mean absolutely NO offence for poeple who drink coffee in the Tea people "vs" coffee people part.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS LITTLE STORY ! -^^-

It was originally written for an event in Deviantart. And it was my team's (Team Lily Tys) participation for the 9th Team Mission of Fairy Blitz (organized by Fairy Tail FC).
The rule was : Please WRITE or DRAW a scene based on your favorite Character (or your OCs) sharing a cup of coffee

For once, our team decided on a story and not a drawing.

Ok ... It is not a cup of tea ... But almost !
Levy's and Juvia's relationship is never seen in the serie. But those two probably get along. At least, we think they do.
And we wanted to give Gruvia more love(And GaLe too, I'm fond of Levy, Gajeel and GaLe ;] ) ; To show that Juvia is more than a hardcore-fangirl. She truely loves Gray and she has reasons to love him the way she does. At the begining, Ari was supposed to write Juvia's POV, me Levy's and we planned on alternating the POVs. But for some reasons my teamate hadn't be able to do it. And since I started doing Levy's, I continued with it ...So the plot is by alazic02 and mebut the writting is only mine.

And it was very accurate for Conversations Of a Bookworm that I decided (with Ari's autorisation) to post it in it also ^^

I've wanted to make a Juvia's and Levy's conversation from the very begining ...

By the way, I'm sorry for not having updated this story for a long time. But I faces several computer issues so I lost some of my work (and not only for this story ) and I also want to finish the two other FT fanfics I've started ...

Once again, I hope you liked it. I know this is not my best work, but I did it very quickly and I would like your opinion and advices about this story (mistakes ? Levy or Juvia OOC ? Some things could have been better explained/said ? Some things I could add ?) ^^

If you have any idea to improve this chapter (or any idea for this story) don't hesitate to tell me ! ^^
