Hehe, this is interesting. I hardly think Jellal is selfish. He's actually being quite mature, trying to do penance for his past, for which Ultear was more responsible than him, before pursuing any romantic relationship. Though, for me, this is just foreshadowing his death in the final battle. :c Just intuition though, no proof at all, so don't ask for reasons.

On the other hand, neither is Gray a Richard, as Carrot says. He definitely told Juvia that he had no romantic interest in her, but she doesn't accept it. Though I agree that he needs to get hold of her and clearly state this (though I wonder how he can be clearer than that time at the banquet). Mostly, they'll never get togethet, Mashima using them to create comic moments (like the perfume one, perectly done, though others might not think so). As far as I'm concerned, Mashima isn't interested in improving this relationship, so obviously Juvia is never going to take Gray's denial seriously. And whyever should Gray leave Juvia alone? He has always interacted with her on a friends only basis. He has always tried to be a good friend to her, and I find nothing wrong in that, neither do I think that he is leading her on. And he never chased Lyon off except at that Rythingummy Land thing. Plus, I don't take that chapter seriously anyway. Otherwise he just says that Juvia should be in FT because she wants to be. If Juvia wanted to leave, I'm sure he'd want her to stay and try to convince her to do so, but he would do that for any friend.

Anyway, for how FT ends ... I think that Gray gains Ice Devil Slayer powers at the end of the Tartaros Arc, Zeref and Acnologia combine to destroy the world in the final arc, Gray and Jellal realize that they're actually the same soul in two bodies, combine, and use Heavely Ice Everything Slaying magic to destroy Zerecnologia and then Gralal spends time in jail for the things he destroyed beside Zerecnologia. >.>
