"Juvia-chan~!" You heard Lyon sing as he tried to get with Juvia, once again. You watched him from you place a couple feet away, couldn't he see? Juvia didn't like him, she liked Gray, anyone could see that!
        You were on a mission anyways with Lyon, it was actually going well for once. He seemed to like to talk to you alot and this was the first time you get to talk to him one on one. That was, untill she showed up. A scowl made its way onto your face as you watched the two, slowly becoming impatient.
        Behind them was Gray, he didn't really seemed interested in the scene. He seemed more, impatient, like you were. Adverting you gaze from the dark-haired male, you looked back at Lyon and Juvia, "Lyon, lets go!" You half yelled at him, grabbing at his shirt. Before you could protest in any kind of way, you started to drag him away, your grip slowly tightening on his shirt as you walked.
         "Oi, ____ what are you doing?" Lyon asked you, he sounded pretty annoyed at what you did, but for the moment, that didn't matter.
        "We have to go, we have a mission remember?" You said, letting go of your shirt once you felt you were a good enough distance away from Juvia. Stopping in the middle of the sidewalk you two were on, you spun on your heel to look at him, "I don't want you to talk to Juvia anymore." You said flatly, as Lyon gave you a surprised look. He didn't say anything to you for a couple moments, his look of surprise disappeared,
        "And why can't I, ____?" He asked you.
        "She's getting in the way of what's important."
        "And what's so important that it can't wait."
        It took you a moment to answer, "The mission." You mumbled out, in reality, you wanted to say that you were more important to her, but couldn't bring yourself to say it. Lyon sighed a bit and shook his head, walking past you. Quickly you followed after him, Lyon now leading you to downtown Mongolia, where you were supposed to go.
        "We could've been in downtown already.." You grumbled out, hearing the other click his tongue afterwards. It was silence between you both for a while, an unnecessary tension starting to grow between you.
        Suddenly, Lyon spoke up, "I've realised something." You looked his way, raising an eyebrow at him, "You always pry me away from Juvia when she's around, mission or not."
        The blood almost drained from your face, quickly looking away you said nothing. You thought he was about as dense as Natsu, he never noticed this before..! "I-Is that so..?" You finally stuttered out, your voice barely above whisper. You gaze adverted to the ground as you walked, not wanting to look up at Lyon.
        "Is there a reason why, ___?" He asked you. There was no hiding the serious tone in his voice. Keeping you head down, you tried to think of some kind of answer to his question.
        Do I tell him what I feel? Just give him a lie? An excuse? Do I just say nothing at all? The questions swam in your head that you didn't even notice stopped walking entirely. Stopping, you turned to face him again, feeling a small atumn breeze stir around you. It blew some leaves around, almost emphasing the awkward silence and distance around you both.
        He said nothing to you, and you said nothing back. His expression however showed some impatience, you had to answer, or he'll make you answer. "..B..Because..." You mumbled out, but he wouldn't be able to hear you. Lyon walked up to you, staring down at you,
        "What was that, ___?" He asked you, as you looked up at him. His grey eyes stared into your (e/c) ones, a blush making it onto your face quickly. Fumbling for words you looked back down.
        "Because...." You mumbled out again,
        "Because why?"
        "...Can we just get to downtown..?" You quickly asked, wanting to get out of this situation,
        "Yes, when you tell me." He wasn't going to let this go anytime soon it seemed.
        A bit of frustration started to rise up, as he kept pushing you, asking questions centering around the main one that was asked. Unable to take it anymore, you talking quickly, rising your voice a bit, "Because I'm jealous, alright?" Glaring, you looked back up at him. He was struck speechless. He stared at you, seeming frozen in place.
        Time seemed to slow down as the silence between you two grew. Lyon slowly broke out of his daze, grabbing you by the shoulders, "___..." He mumbled, looking down at you. You looked back at up at him, suddenly being engulfed in a hug by him, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
        You turned your head to look at him with surprised look, not knowing what to say. You both stayed in the embrace, in mostly silence as Lyon held you in his arms, you slowly returning the hug to him. "Why do you care so much that I'm jealous?" You asked him as he turned his head to look at you.
        Lyon didn't say anything to you, and only gave you a soft kiss to the forehead making your face go red. Letting out a soft smile, you nuzzled him gently as Lyon chuckled softly, returning the gesture to you. He realsed you from the hold but kept one arm drapped over your shoulder, holding you close to him.
        You didn't completely understand why he was doing this, or if he was going to stop being around Juvia. Or at least not around you. However, those questions would have to wait until after the mission. You were very content with how closer and happy you were together for the moment, even if it would be short lived. You were going to cherish this moment until the very end.
