This Time [Fairytail Fanfic]

Finale: This Time

Gray exhaled, his eyes sternly eyed his reflection. Today's the day... he mumbled to himself.

After all night of thinking and pondering about everything, Gray finally... finally let the truth punched him in the face, the same time as the sun decided to show up and shine its daylight.

He's in love with Juvia...

The mere thought put him in a damsel state, cause what the crap?! Now?! Of all the times he was showered with her affection, he decided to accept the fact that he's, without a doubt, in love with our already-moved-on Juvia.

If not for the fact that this story is a Gruvia Fanfic, author-san would've decided that this book is a Lyon x Juvia Fanfic 'cause looking back, that's much easier that this bullcr--

And we're back. So yeah, today's the day. What day, you may ask? I honestly don't know yet...

Gray pulled out his scarf and walked out of the room. He wrapped it around his neck while walking the familiar road to the guild. He eyed his legs walking, pondering if he should do this? Can he do this?! What if-

"Hey, Gray!"

"Mornin', Ice Queen!"

"Good morning, Gray-san."

"Good morning, Gray."

Gray halted, startled. "Huh? Oh, uh, yeah. Morning, guys!"

Lucy and Wendy chuckled at him. "What's wrong, Gray?" Behind the said boy, Erza stood and ask, her arms were folded in front of her armor while smiling at him.

"Huh? N-nothing. Morning, Erza."

Erza hummed, eyeing the boy while pondering. She grabbed his shoulder before pulling him inside, Lucy and the others decided to follow and see what's happening.

They all stopped in front bar, Lisanna greeted them with a smile, "Hey, guys~! Do you all want to order something?"

"Yup!"

"Sorry, got no money in me today."

"Aye, same..."

"Um, yes please. For Carla as well."

While the others were ordering, Lisanna slides a plate of strawberry shortcake in front of Erza, in which she catches in reflex and immediately eat a part, still eyeing the boy in front of him, waiting for an answer. "So.."

Gray sweated, "Nothing much, really... I just had a something in mind, that's all."

"You know, Gray, you're not really good at keeping a secret. Especially from me." Erza placed down the fork, sliding the empty plate back to Lisanna. Said girl slides down another plate of cake.

"Ugh..."

Chuckling, Erza devour her 2nd cake of the day. "Well?"

"I stayed up all night thinking about something, okay. About... you-know-who."

"Oh." Erza hummed.

"I don't know..." he scratched his head, "I-I mean, I do! But... do I have the right?! To.. you know.."

"No, I do not." She shot him down. "Whether what you're saying or what you're trying to say. I don't speak gibberish words."

Gray groaned. "What I'm trying to say is, do I have the right to like her?"

Erza halted. Lucy and the others as well.

"You want the truth or the lie? Pick."

They all flinched and face the sliver-head boy behind our Fairytail ice mage. Standing with a small smile, he greeted them all politely.
