Eh, the 'No.' was pretty clear. Even Juvia understood what he meant, though she said that he was just playing hard-to-get. How does one dissuade a person who doesn't take a straight 'No.' for an answer? All his other actions have been friendship. If anybody considers them shy love, then there are instances of Erza and Gray doing these things for each other too (picked them because nobody can mistake them to have a romantic relationship). Gray helps Erza forget her loneliness. Then there's the incident in the PL arc when they're attacking PL and the Makarov gets defeated. Gray says that Erza should always be in FT. Her arrival is said to be very lucky for him. Blah blah blah. Grayza shippers will go nuts over these moments, others would consider them sibling/friendship moments. That's how he treats Juvia too, it's just that she distorts everything. She did the same thing with his straight 'No.' Most probably, he'll just hope that her infatuation with him fades away with time.

Though I still think that Mashima created and will use this pair only for comic effect and their relationship won't go anywhere. :P
