(Y/n) couldn't bear the thought of seeing those Fairy Tail members. She hated that guild. No, say that she hated the guild was too much and maybe it wasn't hate, but, after all, when it comes to feelings, it's very difficult to deal with that kind of thing. And maybe she was in love with the wrong magician, but what could she do about it? It had been years since her heart belonged to Lyon, even though he didn't seem to notice it. Besides, since the magician had met that hateful Fairy Tail wizard, she had become almost invisible. In fact, every time they saw that guild's group, he never missed a chance to try to conquer Juvia, although it was more clear than ever that she didn' t reciprocate his feelings. This was the only thing that could somehow comfort the girl.

Sometimes she remembered with regret the days when she, Lyon and Gray were training with Ur, at least at the time it was just them and there was no one to interfere. Even then the girl had feelings for Lyon, which is why she had always stood by him and shared many things with him, even the decision to join the same guild. Lyon probably saw her only as a dear childhood friend, while things had changed profoundly for her at one point: she had fallen in love with the magician, but her shyness had always interfered, preventing her from trying to confess. Perhaps because she was afraid that if he refused, it would only ruin their friendship, she certainly didn't want to risk losing him, but by now she felt she had become invisible in his eyes. That's why the idea of having to attend that dance knowing that the members of Fairy Tail would also be there didn't exalt her that much.

In spite of everything she had decided to prepare herself carefully with the other girls, she had to try not to despair too much about the situation with Lyon, now she couldn't do much about it. So the evening continued just as she had expected: once Juvia appeared on the scene, it seemed as if no one else existed for the magician. (Y/n) began to stare at the him with a sad and melancholy look, then she sighed. She took a glass of wine and walked away from the salon with the intention of meditating on her sad love life, without realizing that someone had noticed her exit.

(Y/n) he began to observe the landscape from a window, but she wasn't alone for long. "Hey, why did you seclude yourself? Don't you like the party?" The girl felt a blow to her heart. It was Lyon's voice. "I wanted to be alone for a while." The magician approached her. "You're really beautiful, you know?" "Thank you." Whispered the embarrassed girl. "Aren't you going back to Juvia?" She asked him after a long silence. "Well, by now I think it's clear to whom his feelings are addressed and I know someone who's better than her." She didn't even turn around to look at him. "And you didn't realize until today that I'm wearing a nice dress?" "(Y/n), it's not like that. We've always been friends since we were kids and I... I thought we were just friends. Then the first time I showed interest in Juvia I noticed a change in you and then I started to understand that maybe there was something else, I started to see you in a different light." He stopped for a moment. "Then, seeing that it was Juvia who was unleashing something inside you, I kept on being close to her hoping for a reaction from you, but I think I got it all wrong." "Oh God, Lyon, you..." "I'm a fool, yes, a fool in love with my friend." The girl turned to Lyon. "So no more Juvia?" "No, from now on there will only be you. It will be just you and me."
