~Half an hour timeskips after arriving~

Juvia's POV

"..when will you guys get married.."

"...fiance..fiance..fiance.."

Juvia took a deep breath and exhaled. Lucy's words keep on circling around in Juvia's head.

Juvia is now going to the third souvenirs store with Gray-san.

It feels awkward here.. Juvia didnt say anything to Gray-san after the 'picture' accident in the car..

How can Juvia ask him.. He wont look at Juvia in the eyes. (T_T)

Juvia looked at Gray-san. He was at the stationery area, picking up different colours of pen. Now time to make a move Juvia!

"Gray-san isnt this cute? You should buy this one." Juvia randomly picked up stuff doll nearby her and showed it to Gray.

No response

"How about this pretty one?" Juvia smiled and picked up blue coloured pen.

"I'm not a girl. I dont like cute things or pretty stuffs" He declared coldly. "Put that stupid doll back."

How mean! Its not stupid, its cute! Juvia pouted and put back the stuff doll she picked earlier.

Its not going to work this way. Just ask him directly Juvia! Juvia gazed at him for a while.

"How long do you plan to stare at me?" He looked at Juvia with his cold eyes.

Got his attention! Now Juvia's chance to ask!

"Can Juvia ask Gray-san a question?" Juvia asked him.

"You just did. Now leave me alone."

He began to walked away again but Juvia quickly gripped on to his jacket. He stopped and looked back at Juvia.

"Juvia knows Juvia made so many mistakes today, but just for this once please talk to Juvia.." Juvia explained sadly to him.

"How irritating...Be quick." He pulled away from Juvia's grip.

Yaaaayy~! Gray-san finally wants to talk to Juvia! \(≧∇≦)/

"How long Gray-san plan to stay with us?" Juvia smiled.

"Whats with that question? Its seems you dont like me and my dad staying in Japan?" Gray frowned, facing at Juvia.

"No, not that! Juvia just wanted to know. Just curious Gray-san."

"Yeah right." It looks like Gray-san doesnt believe it..

Juvia sighed, looking at the floor. Maybe Juvia should just ask dad instead of Gray-san.. Juvia and Gray-san didnt speak for a while.

.....

.....

.....

"20 and one month" He broke the silent while reaching out the pen he took earlier.

"20? One month? You mean one month and 20 days in here?" Juvia confused, tilting her head to side.

Juvia will stuck with this guy for more than a month?

"20 is my age. You asked it a while ago." He then continued. "And I'm gonna stay here for a month."

Mwoh! Juvia asked that question few hours ago. Thats a late response!

...At least Juvia knows his age now. He's older by two years than Juvia.

Now the match make question! There's no way Lucy's prediction will come true. Dad didnt say anything about this to Juvia.

"Juvia has another question again."

"What is it now? Cant you see I'm busy here." He started to get annoyed.

"Is it true that our parents want us to get married?" Juvia hoped he would say no!

"Yes." Gray-san bluntly said it.

"What? Pardon Juvia, but what was that AGAIN?"

"I said YES. Do you want me to spell it for you?"

"NO! It cant be! Why does this happen to Juvia? What should Juvia do?" Juvia began to panic.

"Stop nagging! There's nothing we could do about it. Its not like we're getting married by tomorrow. For now we have to know each other first. Two or three years from now on." He scolded Juvia and walked away again.

Juvia froze and thought about it carefully.

Two to three years? Juvia will get married to this mean guy by 20 or 21! Is he going to accept everything like that?

Juvia quickly followed him from behind.

"But dad didnt say anything about this to Juvia! Why is that?! Juvia will ask him later!"

"Ask him all you want, its been decided. I bet he will not cancel this arrange marriage."

Gray-san was right.. Knowing how stubborn dad is.. He will never listen to Juvia.. Juvia wasnt satisfied with the answer.

"Gray-san, are you sure there is no other way to cancel it?" Juvia asked him again and clasped her hands together hoping for miracle answer.

"Dammit! Can you just shut up for a while?" He groaned again. "You keep asking unnecessary questions"

Why is he so mad about it? Juvia just asked him the most important questions!

"How can you be so relax and angry at the same time? Whether its two or three! Its a short time you know!" Juvia complained at him

"Yeah, whatever"

"Yeah whatever? You dont even consider how Juvia feels about this! Juvia hates Gray-san!" Juvia exclaimed. Gray-say widened his eyes when Juvia said that to him.

"Juvia just met Gray-san today, you're just a total stranger to her and you're ruining her life!" Juvia pointed at him and let it all out.
