Narrator Pov

So, the King left soon after, allowing Juvia to stay for a few more days. She had to return to the Palace and do her duties as a Princess, she was no longer being forced to marry any guy but still wasn't granted to permission to marry Gray.

Juvia Pov

I slumped down into the soft cushion of his couch. I sighed.

"What's wrong, little Princess?" Gray came back from closing the door behind my father.

"Nothing, Sad Prince. Just tired." We sat in comfortable silence with his hand overlapping mine. There was a pounding down the stairs and the next thing I knew, I had two squealing girls surrounding me and one bored girl standing a few feet away.

Squealing, they exclaimed at the same time "I think I never want to leave!" They looked at each other and brust into laughter.

"What is happening? What did I miss?" I asked but they all seemed like they were in their own little worlds expect for Erza who stepped forward and smacked them both hard in the head.

"Ow!" They screamed.

Erza pushed them apart and looked at me "The two of them think they found their true love."

*flashback.*

After the Princess had left to meet the Prince, I found Natsu standing outside the door.

"Hey, what you doing here?" He smirked and grabbed my wrist. "Where are we going?"

"I thought I told you before. To get to know each other." He turned back enough for me to see his face and flashed a huge cheeky smile. Blood rushed up to my face as he did, I looked around in hopes that he didn't see me blush.

He pulled me into the forest behind the Palace. "Let's take a stroll." So, we did, talking and swinging our arms in the cool breeze.

"Is it okay of I held your hand?" I stared at him for a momnet but nodded my head. He slip his hand into mine. A shiver ran down my spine and the heat in my cheeks were back. "You have a cute blush." I giggled at his compliment.

"Here you are, the kitchen." Gajeel made a big bowing gesture at the door as if to tease me.

"Thanks." I mumbled. I stepped into the kitchen to realise that I had nothing to take. I stood in the ce ter of the big room, staring at the cupboards. Then, I spotted a jar of cookies sitting st the top shelf. I stretched my arms out, on my tip toes trying to grab the jar. A giant hand reached up and brought the jar down with ease.

"Trying to get these, shorty?" The big man teased, opening the jar and stuffing one in his mouth.

"Don't call me that!" I huffed, my arms crossed and my eyes not leaving the floor. His fingers took hold of my chin and tilted my head upwards.

"Aw~ that's cute you are blushing."

Swatting his hand away "Am not." He shrugged and took another cookie. "Can I have one?" I dropped my hands to my side and mumbled.

"Tee hee. Does the shrimp wants a treat?" He held a cookie in front of my face waving it. I nodded. "Say ah..." I froze. He nodded his head to encourage me so I did.

"Aahh....." he plsce the biscuit in my mouth and I took a bite.

"Do you like it?" I bob my head up and down shyly. He gave out a chuckle and stuff the rest of it in his mouth.

"Hey, I ate that already!" I shierked.

"So....?" He continued to chew on the cookie.

"Baka!" I said after watching he swallowed the rest of it down.

"Why don't you take a seat then we can share this?"

Back to present

Erza Pov

The two of them squeal after they finished with their stories. I just let out a sigh. Gray had left the scene a while ago but now is back, more formal this time.

"Princess, I afraid that he is here."

"Jellal....." she crused.
