Drunk in Jealousy

Pairing: Gruvia

Sozsozsoz this was suppose to be done last year but I procrastinated on it. Anyway valentines is near so I hope this piece of ficlet will be a decent contribution to the Gruvia fandom c: This is NOT NSFW, despite the sound of the title. This actually spurred from a headcanon regarding the previous Christmas special where in that drinking game, it was always Gray doing the dares with the other girls making Juvia jealous, and I wondered how it’ll be if it was the other way round instead. Sorry that it’s crazy long. Enjoy!

EDIT: Just saw that there’s a valentines fanfiction event for the big 4 so I’m just tagging this in along to celebrate @fuck-yeah-big-four ————————— In Fairy Tail, drinking and brawling has become essential needs for a celebration to take place. For Lucy’s birthday today, it was also part of the guild’s program in conjunction with getting an award for her latest book written. The guild decided and went huge with the event, catering great food and decorations all over the hall for all to enjoy.

With that, the celebration was coming to its end as people started leaving the guild to their homes. However, some close friends stayed and gathered around the table as they continued to drink and fellowship with one another. Wanting to spice up the night, the knight at the table decided to speak up.

“We should play a drinking game!” “HA! I bet I can drink this beer faster than all of you!” “Natsu, it’s not like that…” Recollecting back the memories of the previous times where they drank and played “games” –– the ice mage amidst the conversation –– Gray Fullbuster, felt a churn in his stomach. The past experiences of these drinking fiascos have been nothing but chaotic, especially when it was being led by the scarlet haired mage. The black haired man turned his attention inconspicuously to the bluenette who was beside him. With the shoulder initially tensed, Gray loosened it up a little when he saw Juvia, still being her normal self and not drunk. The fact that last Christmas, the water mage was forced to go out with little clothing and have the crowd ogling at her made him rage. Of course, he did not say or realise it back then. But now, things were different and Fullbuster was not going to allow that to happen again.  “Uh, I don’t think we should play this game.” “C’mon Gray! Don’t be such a party pooper. Let’s have some fun!” “Are ya’ scared to lose to me ice pants?!” “What did you say?!” “Oh God, please don’t fight you two.” Lucy raised her hands up in dismay before smiling. “But Erza’s right, Gray –– let’s have some fun tonight and let loose a little.” The ice mage eyes widened in surprise before he spoke hesitantly. “Are you sure? Don’t you remember what happened the previous times we had this?” “It’s fine! Besides, it’s my birthday –– and it’s been awhile since we’ve all been able to not worry about the world.” “Well, alright then…”

Gray plopped his backpack on Juvia’s desk. “I have something for you.”

She blushed and snatched her hand away from his backpack. “I’m sorry?”

Gray searched for the packet in his bag, which he’d thrown in as he rushed out the door twenty minutes before. “My step-mom wanted me to give you something from the Center. I don’t think she thought you’d come back and this packet is pretty helpful for newtimers.”

At Juvia’s confused expression, he clarified: “My step-mom is Ur Milkovich. You talked to her and my step-brother, when you first visited the Mavis Center. You know, for your problem?”

Juvia nodded in recognition. “I was going to return. I was just –” She sighed. “—busy.”

Gray shrugged. “Well, she hadn’t seen you and figured we had a class together, so here I am. Her mailman.” Juvia giggled, taking the packet from him and placing it in her backpack. She was careful not to touch the skin of his hands. “Good thing English is first period though,” he added. “I wouldn’t have wanted to give this to you in front of everyone.”

“Thank you for thinking about that. I haven’t told many people.”

“Makes sense.” Gray looked closer at her and her sketchbook. She seemed pale, which was typical for werewolves, post-full moon. It usually took newbies a couple years for their bodies to become used to the transformation. But more interesting was her sketchbook, which had a familiar face on it.

“Is that me?” he asked. She blushed red.

IN EVERY UNIVERSE

"JUVIAAAA"

He should have known. He should have seen it coming the moment he heard that blue cat call out her name. Of course nothing good would come from this. That stupid cat, exceed, whatever he is, was raised by Natsu after all.  But he didn't think much of it when he saw him flying towards Juvia, who was currently sitting with the other girls and landing in the middle of their table.

"Yes Happy?"

"Remember what I told you when we came back from Edolas?"

Happy was wiggling his tail excitedly, while trying to hold back from spilling the information immediately. After all, he lives for the drama. Juvia on the other hand was just looking at him, confusion written all over her face.

"Juvia isn't following.."

"You know, about the Juvia in Edolas and how the Gray there is obsessed with her.."

"Oh yes! Of course Juvia remembers that! The other Juvia is very lucky.."

"Yeah, and guess what? She got even luckier. Turns out they've got-"

"HAPPY!"

Cuddle Buddies

For Gruvia Week 2021: Day 2 - Warmth

Day 1

Gray Fullbuster does not cuddle.

He’d like to say it was because he was an ice mage – he had a low tolerance for heat, regardless of whether it was coming from the blazing sun or another’s warm embrace. It was just how he was made.

But the truth was, even if he weren’t an ice mage, he still couldn’t see the appeal of having someone’s sticky, sweaty body squashed against him. How it can even be remotely considered comforting was beyond him.

He could pat you on the back, ruffle the hair on your head, and even sit beside you – but definitely no hugs.

Except if he absolutely had to.

Like, if it was a matter of life and, well, severe hypothermia.

And so, it was because of this that Gray found himself in one of the beds in the infirmary, cuddling with Juvia Lockser.

Main Pairing: GRUVIA

Summary:- Celebrity Gray x General Public Juvia, Modern AU

Words:- 2K

Currently, Fairy Tail Agency has arranged for a press meet to officially declare the facts of the new movie in which two of their most famous actors are going to be a part.

Gray Fullbuster, 25 years, tv artist turned actor and Lucy Heartfilia, 24 years, model turned actress, has signed up for this movie which is under the production of Straussl Inc.

As the reporters who out various questions regarding the details of this upcoming venture and some related to their personal life.

"So, Mr Fullbuster, tell us about how you feel knowing that you have been nominated for 3 categories of awards this year?" 

One of the reporters asked and was ready to note Gray's response.

"I'm sure that I will receive the awards for best actor and handsome face. Also, my last movie 'Icy Days' has been nominated for the best movie of the year. But not sure about the 'Gem of the decade' award." 

Gray confidently answered and smiled which made the female reporters squeal.

Lucy interrupted, "Not to ruin Gray's fantasy but my movie 'Starry Night At Stella' was a blockbuster hit. Myself and my co-actor Natsu Dragneel were praised by critics for our performance. So, Gray, don't forget that even we are on the race too." Lucy smiled which made everyone chuckle after hearing her opinions.

"Sure Lucy... All the best to you and Natsu" Gray told and looked at his manager, Erza Scarlet, who also happens to be Natsu's manager, to know when this press meet is going to end.

"Another 10 minutes" Erza gestured by hand signals. 

Suddenly, one of the reporters from Magnolia Times shot down a question that took Gray off guard.

"Recently, there was a photo of Mr Fullbuster with a child in his arms. Who does that child happen to be? And is it true that you are having an illicit affair with someone, Mr Fullbuster?" That reporter smirked. 

Gray remained indifferent and calmly answered him while his team members and staff panicked.

"Everyone in Fiore knows that it was a piece of fake news. In today's era of modern technology, it is easy to photoshop one's picture with anything and anyone, Mr Invel.

    Even my agency owner, Mr Makarov Dreyer and my manager, Ms Scarlet have clarified about it. So, don't go digging the old hoax rumours." 

Gray stood up and thanked everyone for their time and presence before dashing off to the exit where Lucy followed him back.

It was Erza and the production team who bid a farewell to the reporters before joining the actors in their cabin.

Once Erza reached Gray's cabin, she saw him tossing his coat and tie around the room while Lucy stood silently.

"Gray, I think you should disclose your relationship before it gets exposed in a bad way," Erza said calmly and patted his back.

"That's what I was thinking, Erza. I can't continue to hide this big news about my life for a long time from my fans. I will reveal this during the awards function." Gray looked determined and hoped that his fans would take it on a positive note.

"They will surely accept your relationship status just like how they received mine and Natsu's." Lucy encouraged him and patted his arms which seemed to make him calm down.

"Gray, tomorrow you have your day off then, on Wednesday, we will be going to Phoenix Mall for a fan meet up event where other actors of our agency will join us." Erza informed him and handed the invitation.

From the invitation, it was clear that this mall was quite near to his apartment complex. Moreover, it was arranged by Mr Makarov himself so there was no way of turning it down.

"Fine, I will get ready for this. Just send the car near the children's park no need to come in front of the complex." He informed Erza and thanked them both for their words of motive before he left them.

After half an hour, Gray reached the children's park and put on his disguise, cooling glass, mask and a cap to conceal his identity while he was dressed up in a simple t-shirt and jeans.

"Max, tomorrow's your day off. Pick me up here at 9 am on Wednesday. Bye."

"Yes, Mr Fullbuster. Bye, and Good night" The driver left him while Gray made his way towards his home.

The apartment complex in which he lived was one of the expensive housing in Magnolia. The higher the floor level, the higher is the cost and the higher is the security.

Till the 11th floor, the general public who did high order jobs lived while the next 10 floors were occupied by celebrities of various fields.

One of the perks of this housing agency was that their identity remains secret, not even their neighbours know about them until and unless the involved party discloses it.

Once Gray reached the 17th floor, which had two apartments where one was still vacant.

As he hit the doorbell of his apartment, Gray could hear voices coming from inside which brought a smile on his face.

The door opened and his eyes met the gorgeous lady who welcomed him with a beautiful smile that captivated him.

"Welcome home, Gray-sama"

"I'm home, Juvia," Gray said and got inside.

Soon, he removed the disguise and leaned forward to kiss her lips which she reciprocated back.

Once they broke off the kiss, Juvia hugged him and whispered, "I missed you, Gray-sama."

"Even, I missed you, Juvia. It's been a week since I last saw you and…." Before he could finish, both of them felt someone hugging their legs.

And it was none their 3-year-old daughter, Yuki Fullbuster, who resembled her mother but had father's hair and eye colour and his sharp nose.

"Papa"

Seeing his daughter's smile was enough for him to get distracted from his wife, then, have his undivided attention on his little munchkin.

Gray raised Yuki in his arms and kissed her cheeks and forehead who did the same to her papa.

"Yuki missed you, papa."

"Even, papa missed you, darling. Were you a good girl during papa's absence?" Gray asked her as they moved towards the living room.

Gray let her down who ran up to a table and tried to fetch her drawing notebook.

Juvia made her husband sit down and inquired him about his work as he looked tired and kinda depressed.

Gray convinced her everything was fine and told her about the press meet excluding the details of the rumours.

It had been 4 years since Gray started his acting career starting as an ad shoot model to tv artists then to movie star.

Gray, Natsu and Erza were childhood friends who did their schooling from the same institution till college.

It was during the 3rd year, Gray and Natsu got scouted to act as models for a tv commercial which they accepted readily as of then they needed some kind of part-time jobs to meet their ends.

Even, Erza thought that it was a good opportunity for them to succeed as the agency, Fairy Tail, was well known throughout Fiore and persuaded them to take up the offer.

Once, their commercials began to reach people mainly because of their handsome features and physique especially Gray got popular among the female fans.

It was during this time that Gray and Natsu had to move out of the college dorm so that they could work freely without time restrictions.

That's when Gray meets Juvia for the first time in his life. She was his neighbour whom he thought lived her boyfriend but it turned out to be her best friend, Gajeel Redfox, vocalist of Phantom Bands, an upcoming band.

Gray rarely started any kind of conversation with anyone. It was with the help of Natsu that they befriended Juvia and to date, Gray was thankful to his friend.

Until the moment he met Juvia, Gray was never keen on love or relationships. 

But to him, Juvia was way different from the girls he had met in his college. She was modest and shy but a kind person with a large helping tendency.

Gray knew her personality and beauty had beguiled his attention and wanting to know more about her made him fall for her head over heels.

Of course, they would exchange greetings whenever they met while leaving the house together. Slowly they deepened their connection and exchanged numbers.

Due to her friendly nature, Juvia would invite Gray and Natsu over to her place for small weekend parties which she would arrange for Gajeel to relieve his stress.

At first, he was reluctant to invade a party meant for Gajeel but the latter happily welcomed them.

That way, they got acquainted exchanged their work details and stress with each other.

It was after a few months of that weekend party that Gray had offered Juvia a dinner date which she accepted after a week of thinking.

By this time, Gray gained quite a lot of recognition. The reason he called her out on a dinner date was to reveal that he has signed up as the main lead for a tv drama which was produced by a well-known production house.

Juvia was elated and congratulated and wished him luck. It was during that time Gray confessed his love for her and waited for her answer.

To his surprise, Juvia readily accepted him. He still remembers her words from that time,

"Gray-sama, even I feel the same for you. I was afraid to convey my feelings to you as each day our world was getting apart. I was determined to tell you today after dinner.

     But to my surprise, I never expected even you would feel the same. I love you, Gray-sama."

After hearing her say those golden words, Gray got hold of her hand and kissed it lightly and asked Juvia to be his girlfriend which she agreed.

Once they reached their respective place, Gray kissed her lips and shared a hug before calling off that night.

The next day, both of them informed their friends about their relationship. Erza and Natsu were supportive.

But Gajeel was reluctant he wanted to tell Juvia how difficult it would be for her to date a celebrity.

She has to remain under the shadows. Moreover, if words go out then obsessive fans might harm her and she would be constantly under paparazzi's scrutiny if Gray's facing bad times.

But Juvia was ready to face any difficulties and wanted to support her boyfriend in his career.

Once the family had their dinner together, Gray tugged his daughter in her bed before planting a kiss on her forehead and wished her good night.

Juvia was washing the dishes when Gray snaked his arms around her waist and kissed her neck which made Juvia squeak.

Gray turned off the tap and turned his wife so that she could face him.

"Juvia, tomorrow's my day off. Even the night is still young. Moreover, I missed my wife…" He leaned forward and kissed her lips which made her moan against his lips.

"Gray-sama…."

"Juvia…." Both of their eyes were clouded with lust and decided to continue their passionate night inside their bedroom.

After an hour, both was them were under the blankets, Gray had his arm around his wife and hummed in her ears as she talked about her day with Yuki.

Juvia could sense her husband's hold around her waist getting tight. He did only when he felt insecure or paranoid.

Juvia turned around to face him who kept looking at her. She cupped his face with both of her hands which startled him.

"Gray-sama, what's on your mind? Spill it out. Don't go huddling up those stressful thoughts within you. Share it with your wife. I will help you lessen those burdens." Juvia conveyed her thoughts and smiled at him.

"This is what I'm beguiled about you, Juvia. You can easily find out my conflicting thoughts just by sensing my actions. I'm really lucky to have you as my soulmate, dear." Gray said earnestly and kissed her forehead which made Juvia feel special.

Then slowly Gray disclosed his fears about how the world will perceive his relationship and worried that this shouldn't cause any harm to either Juvia and Yuki especially.

After hearing his fears, Juvia cradled her husband and patted his back just like how she does it for her daughter whenever she has nightmares.

Gray seemed to relax from this action. Juvia assured him that nothing terrible is going to happen and just hope everything turns out well.

Suddenly Gray raised his head and questioned her, "What if things repeat? And this time to our Yuki."

Juvia's eyes grew wide, but she can't show her fear, at least, not in front of her husband for now, who himself was feeling paranoid.

"I'm sure nothing will happen. Let's have faith in ourselves and your fans, Gray-sama.

       I'm just worried that your fan number might get reduced once you reveal your married status." Juvia voiced her concern.

This time it was Gray's turn to convince her, "Nah! Just like you said let's hope for the best. I love you and Yuki. Remember that, okay"

Gray smiled and kissed her lips, "Juvia, you are still warm. Wanna continue from where we left?" He teased her.

It seemed her Gray-sama was back to normal for now.

A/N: Sorry for posting it bit late. Hope I will be able to update for the rest of the event.

gruvia drabble

author’s note: ok. hi. here we are again. i go on a 1948392 year hiatus and then become inspired to write something from the most RANDOM thing. but this was too good to pass up. so essentially i saw a headcannon by @incorrect-ft-ez-quotes and then @bbygirljuvi added onto it:) look at my most recent reblog for reference if u want hehehe. yeah ok maybe i did add some bs healing abilities to juvia’s powers... sue me! ok here we gooooo i hope u cuties enjoy!!!

“Popsicle,” Natsu sighed. “What the hell are you doin’ back here?” He held his door in one hand as he stared at a recently familiar face.

“What, a guy can’t stop by and visit his best friend?” Gray nervously chuckled.

Happy and Natsu weren’t buying it, exchanging suspicious looks as Gray impatiently stood at the door frame.

“Best friend?” Natsu rose an eyebrow.

“And for the 4th day in a row?” Happy jabbed, hovering beside Natsu’s head

“Would ya’ just let me in?” Gray spat out, clearly looking jittery.

“Fine.” Natsu groaned, stepping aside so Gray could step in.

“But we’re gonna’ start charging rent!” Happy exclaimed.

“Whatever, I don’t care, just as long as I can hang out here for a little while.” Gray hustled in, plopping himself onto Natsu’s worn down couch.

“Ok, you can stay here on one condition, tell me what it is you’re freaking out about. And gimme’ the real reason you’ve been comin’ here.” Natsu folded his arms.

“Aye!” Happy mimicked Natsu, crossing his little paws.

Gray let out a groan, bowing his head between his legs before whipping his head back up. “It’s Juvia, ok!?”

“Juvia?” Happy asked.

“But, you haven’t tried avoiding her in forever. You guys have been all buddy-buddy lately.” Natsu was trying to piece this all together in his head.

Gray blushed, averting his eyes. “Yeah, yeah, I guess you could say that.”

“So what’s the deal?” Natsu was doing his best to get straight to the point, as nuance was not his strong suit.

“W-well... we... kind of... sort of...” Gray scratched at the back of his head, searching for the gall to say it. “We got drunk the other night at the guild, and then I went to walk her home since she was pretty wasted, and...one thing lead to another and... we almost kissed.”

Natsu was as confused as ever. “So?”

“So?!”

“Well, don’t ya’ like her?”

“W-well-!” Gray stammered, and gave out a defeated sigh, bowing his head again. “Yeah.” He mumbled to the point that Natsu or Happy could barely hear him.

“So then why don’t you wanna’ smooch her?” Happy was almost as dense as Natsu.

“Gah! You guys don’t get it!” Gray sprung up. “Forget it. I’m gonna’ find a new hiding spot. Preferably, one that asks less questions.”

Just as Gray made his way to Natsu’s front door, there was a sudden knock. Gray froze in his tracks as a chill went up his spine. He had a knack for this sort of thing, knowing when Juvia’s around, and that chill only ever meant one thing.

“Shit.”

Gray needed an escape route, but his head wasn’t on straight. He frantically scoured the little house, looking from wall to wall, but there was only one door, and Gray was just feet away from it.

“Natsu, whatever you do, don’t-“

“Be there in a sec’!” Natsu shouted at the door.

“You idiot!” Gray whisper yelled.

Natsu opened the door to none other than Juvia. She was known for her expressive nature. The look on her face could tell you anything you want to know, without her having to say a word.

“Hi, Natsu-san.” Juvia said both frantically and nervously. “Juvia was just wondering if Gray-sama was here.” She held her hands together promptly, hoping that he would be there.

“Actually Gray-“ Natsu was cut off at the sound of shattering glass. He instinctively spun around to a disastrous scene, displaying a broken window, shards of glass everywhere, and no Gray to be found. “Just left.” Natsu finished the thought differently than he originally intended.

Juvia heard the shattering too, and she had her answer. Her Gray-dar never failed her. Using her Gray-dar she quickly scurried to the back of the house, crossing her fingers that Gray hadn’t gotten away yet. The first thing she heard was a hiss of pain, and as she turned the corner, there sat her Gray in the ground, holding his bloody knee.

“Son of a bitch!” Gray yelled in pain, applying more pressure to his cut knee. Sure, he was used to getting beaten to a pulp in a fight, but he wasn’t exactly expecting a busted up knee right about now.

“Gray-sama!” Juvia’s eyes widened at the blood, and she hurried to his side.

Gray finally realized her presence. He stopped writhing in pain for a moment, and tried to appear as casual as usual. “Oh...” He forced a laugh. “Hey Juvia. what are you doin’ here?”

“Juvia should be asking you the same thing.” She knelt by Gray’s side. “But first, let Juvia help.”

“I’m fine.”

“Let Juvia see it, Gray-sama.”

He sighed, giving in and releasing his hold. Juvia quickly took her hands and placed them on Gray’s knee. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly her hands became water, but it wasn’t normal water. It was soothing, and it was making the stinging in Gray’s knee go away.

“Juvia has been working on some healing techniques. It’s nothing like Wendy, but I can heal some minor, surface-level things.” She explained, using her water hands to massage the area.

“Now that Juvia has finally caught you, why have you been avoiding me?” She finally looked at Gray who blushed at the sudden eye contact.

“I haven’t.” Gray tried to sound as natural as possible.

All Juvia had to do was give him a look that practically screamed “oh, please.” before he cracked. “Ok, fine. I’ve been avoiding you.”

“Juvia knows!” She exclaimed.

“I just don’t want things to be awkward between us!” He explained.

“But you don’t think avoiding me for days would make it awkward?” Juvia finally finished his knee and reverted her hands back to normal.

Gray groaned. “You’re right.” He ran his hand through his hair, trying to hide his face.

“Is this about... the other night?” Juvia finally asked.

“Do ya’ really have to even ask?” Gray avoided eye contact.

“But Juvia thought the night went well! I had a lot of fun!”

“So did I! Until...” He cut himself off.

“Until we almost kissed?” Juvia finished it for him.

“Yeah.”

“I see.” Juvia paused. “Are Juvia’s lips chapped?”

“Huh?” He finally peaked up at her.

“Or did Juvia have something in her teeth maybe?” She was going into panic mode.

“No that’s not-“

Juvia cut him off with as gasp, and her hands slapped against her mouth. “Or does Juvia’s breath stink?! Is that it?!”

“Would you knock it off!” Gray finally stopped her. “It doesn’t have to do with any of that stuff.

“Oh.” Juvia sunk. “So Gray-sama just does not want to kiss Juvia then.”

“No!” He instantly cut off that thought, even though he was embarrassed by how eager he sounded. “Not that either.” He grumbled.

“Then..?”

“We were drunk. Yes, we were having fun and all, but, I dunno’.” Gray grumbled, looking for the right words. “We haven’t had our first kiss yet. So when we do, I want it to be... kinda’... special. I guess. In a way.” Gray finished with some filler words to try and take the heat away from his face, but it was no use.

“S-s-special?! Gray-sama wants our kiss to be special?!” Juvia lit up, almost freezing in time waiting for someone to pinch her, because she figured this had to be a dream. However, she still was a bit lost, so she put a pause on her momentary fantasy. “Wait, so then why have you been avoiding me?”

“Because I didn’t know how to tell you all that. I was trying to buy some time until I could figure out what to say.” Gray released a deep exhale. “But I guess I’ve said it all now.”

“You sure have.” Juvia said giddily right before she launched herself at Gray, tightly clutching Gray’s shoulders in her arms as her cheek was pressed up firmly against his.

“Gah!” Gray shouted in surprise, trying to keep his balance as Juvia leeched onto him. They were still sitting, but she almost knocked him flat on his back.

“But you know what, Gray-sama?” Juvia broke her clutch, making sure she was looking right at Gray.

“What?” He looked down at her curiously.

“Juvia thinks every moment with Gray-sama is special. So to Juvia, any time is perfect for a first kiss.” She smiled so sweetly is made Gray’s heart just about burst.

“Yeah?” Gray felt the corner of his mouth tug up.

“Yep.” She nodded in assurance.

“If you say so.”

And without a second thought, Gray closed the gap between them, planting a sweet and soft kiss on Juvia’s lips. As they parted, they leaned in and pressed their foreheads against each other, both wearing matching grins.

“That looked pretty special from in here!” Happy interjected from inside the house, followed by Natsu’s laughter.

Gray and Juvia jumped, startled by the sudden noise. “Happy, shut it!” Gray turned his head, looking through what used to be a window, and seeing Natsu and Happy standing in their living room.

“Maybe we wouldn’t be able to hear you two slobbering on each other if there was a window here!” Natsu yelled, referring to the gaping hole in the middle of his wall.

“We were not slobbering, you moron!” Gray blushed furiously, finally standing up and facing Natsu.

“That’s what it looked like to me!” Natsu teased back, wearing a devious smile.

“Aye!” Happy seconded.

“Mind your business, flame-for-brains!”

“Next time you need to hide out for a week, you ain’t comin’ here!” Natsu shouted.

“Fine by me.” Gray scoffed.

He then looked back at Juvia as she appeared a little on edge, wondering if she was going to have to break up a fight between Gray and Natsu.

He grinned once again, at the girl he couldn’t wait to spend more special time with, making more memories, and growing even closer

He reached for Juvia’s hand and squeezed it. “I was gettin’ tired of running away anyway.”

This is so cuteeeeee 💙💙💙

Winter Warmth

The first drops of snow fell from the sky and settled on Gray’s open palms. “It’s early,” he muttered under his breath.

Not that he minded, of course. But other people were not as immune to the cold as he was, and he wondered if she brought enough thick clothes for their overnight mission. Maybe he should have brought the scarf after all, instead of removing it from his knapsack at the last minute. He probably won’t need it, but she…

He glanced beside him and was surprised to find no one. He could swear she was just beside him a moment ago.

“Juvia?”

A lump was starting to form in his throat until he heard familiar footsteps in the distance. He turned around, and sure enough, Juvia was there.

“Gray-sama,” she groaned as she caught up with him. She held his discarded shirt in one hand and his coat in the other. “It’s snowing – you’re going to catch a cold!”

Gray smirked as he took his shirt from her and wore it. He didn’t know when he lost his clothes (again), but thanks to Juvia, he was no longer spending most of his reward money stocking up his wardrobe. He’d prefer it if she didn’t go through all the trouble of picking up his clothes (one time he found her trying to get his coat from a tree branch; he had no idea how it got there), but it wasn’t as if he had a say on it. Juvia would always dote on him – that was a fact of life he had accepted long ago (and rather enjoyed, too).

“Thanks, Juvia,” he said with a small smile. “But I’m an ice mage. I’ll be fine.” He patted her head over her hat.

Juvia rolled her eyes. “Yes, Gray-sama is immune to the cold, but that doesn’t mean you cannot get sick.” She dusted off the snow that had now collected in his coat before handing it to him. “You should really try harder to keep your clothes on,” she whined.

Though Gray found Juvia’s annoyed expression adorable, he could tell she wasn’t exactly happy with him at the moment. So, he just bit his lip and answered, “All right, don’t worry now.” He took the coat from her, lightly brushing her cold fingers – and that was when he noticed.

Behind that tiny pout on her lips and that cute little crease on her brow, he could see how her cheeks were flushed, and not because of him. Her shoulders were slightly shivering, and he could tell it was taking her a lot of effort to keep her teeth from chattering.

“You’re cold,” he whispered as he gripped her hands tightly, and true enough, her hands were freezing. He really should have brought the scarf, he thought.

Gray started to drape his coat over her shoulders, and Juvia’s eyes widened.

“What are you doing, Gray-sama? Juvia is fine.”

“Fine my ass. Stop fussing,” he told her as he continued trying to get Juvia’s arms into his coat’s armholes.

“But Gray-sama –”

“I’m not going to get cold,” he interrupted her as he finished his task. “Besides…”

Gray wrapped his arms around her, enveloping her body in what little warmth his cold body could offer.

“You’re enough to keep me warm.”

Because even though Gray was really bad at keeping his clothes on, he would like to believe he was getting better at one thing: taking care of Juvia Lockser. It would probably take him a lifetime to surpass or even equal what she does for him, but it was definitely a challenge he was more than happy to take.

And, judging by how heat radiated from her body to his, spreading throughout his chest and making his heart swell, he was also pretty good at warming her up. Making her boil, even. He chuckled.

“Then, Juvia will do her best to make Gray-sama stay warm,” he heard her whisper.

Her hands wrapped around his torso, gripping him tight. He surrendered himself completely, enjoying the cozy feeling of her body pressed to his as he buried his head in her hair, and she rested her head at the crook of his neck.

“You always do.”

“Don’t get up – I’ll do it.”

Gray urged Juvia back onto the couch when she dropped her feet to the soft carpet and went to stand. She allowed herself to sink into the plush cushions and watched as he put a small pillow in his spot, propping her sore feet on it. With her blanket tucked snuggly around her, Juvia was comfortable enough to fall asleep.

But that was the last thing she wanted to do on movie night.

“Juvia can get up and walk around just fine, Gray-sama. The doctor said so,” Juvia said as he started for their kitchenette.

He stopped at the foot of the couch and heaved a sigh. “I know, I know. Just…humor me, okay?” he muttered, dropping one hand to her feet and squeezing. He managed a tired smile. “Let me do things for you every once in a while for my own goddamn sanity. Besides, didn’t you say your ankles were swelling up again?”

The pregnancy was driving him near crazy.

But, Juvia supposed, she couldn’t really blame him. She was worried too. The past seven months had been rocky, her pregnancy turbulent, and they were constantly waiting for something horrible to happen at any given time. It had been practically impossible to get pregnant in the first place – and afterwards it hadn’t occurred to either of them that staying pregnant would be a problem too.

They’d already had too many scares than they cared to remember.

She was on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy, but her doctor had encouraged small amounts of walking. If nothing more than to keep her from going too stir crazy.

Juvia was determined to be as active as she could, to stay positive for both herself and Gray. But Gray… If she so much as sat up, he was pushing her back down and running her errands for her.

After their second trip to the hospital, at four in the morning, he’d made it his mission to see to her every whim. He helped her with everything and took over all of her share of the household chores – he’d even started doing the laundry. And if Juvia so much as tried to lift her pinky, he would scowl, sit her on something soft, and give her a glass of juice and a movie.

It was almost smothering. But Juvia would be lying to herself if she said she didn’t enjoy the attention.

Still…she couldn’t help but feel bad at times.

“That’s true…” Juvia murmured as she glanced down at her ankles. They were twice their normal size. She bit her lip as she looked back up at Gray. “Juvia just doesn’t want to be a burden, that’s all.”

That was her only fear.

She liked taking care of other people, Gray in particular, but she wasn’t used to people taking care of her for extended periods of time. The last thing Juvia wanted was to be troublesome.

“A burden?” Gray blinked at her, a line denting his forehead as he frowned. “Juvia, you’re never a burden. It’s my privilege to take care of you. Something like that was in our wedding vows, remember?” he said, his voice soft and vulnerable in a way that made everything in Juvia’s chest ache sweetly.

That voice came out very rarely.

Far too often he “played it cool”, choosing to hide his true feelings with snark or sarcasm or blatant lies. He only ever used that soft voice after all of his shields shattered, when he was overcome with emotion. But lately he’d been using it a lot – when he helped her bathe, rubbed her feet and her back, indulged in her emotional outbursts.

And Juvia soaked it up like a freshly-watered flower.

“Juvia remembers,” she whispered as a smile tugged on her lips.

“Good.” Gray straightened and coughed, nodding his head and rubbing the back of his neck. “So what was it you wanted? Vanilla or mint chocolate chip?” He gestured to the fridge as he walked backwards to the kitchen, keeping his dark eyes on her.

“Mint chocolate chip,” said Juvia as she rubbed her hand over her stomach. “With strawberries.”

She’d been craving strawberries all day.

“Strawberries. Got it,” he said and spun on his bare heel.

When he reemerged a few minutes later, two bowls of mint chocolate chip ice cream with diced strawberries in hand, he was rid of his shirt and pants. He handed her a bowl before plopping onto the couch and settling her feet in his lap and digging into his dessert.

Juvia spooned some into her own mouth with a smile.

She loved movie night.

Don’t we just love doting husband Gray 💙💙💙

Chapter 11: Friends and pranks

By the time Gray realized that Lucy had already opened the door for Juvia, the girls were already in the kitchen chatting along. Or more like Lucy chatting while Juvia listened. Gray dreaded that evening already, knowing it was going to be a long one.

Finally managing to push Natsu away, Gray got up, only to realize that he had lost his shirt sometime during their fight. Great, where the hell did he place it? While he was frantically looking around, he didn’t realize the audience that had gathered at the door.

“Don’t ask me how, but this boy always ends up stripping. There was one time when we went out and Cana gave him a little too much to drink. By the end of the night he ended up completely n-”

I love fluffy, meet cutes like this.

Some short Gruvia fluff

So I am on super stressed mode about the new Fairy Tail spoilers containing Gruvia… So far, there have been so many scares and I’m honestly nervous about what might happen with Gruvia… So to calm my nerves I wrote some short, fluffy Gruvia! I hope you all enjoy!

~

Gray sighed, his body relaxing against the mattress as he laid on his stomach and closed his eyes. It had been another busy day repairing the Guild, and to make it worse, he and Natsu almost got murdered by Erza when they started fighting… Again. It wasn’t his fault if fire fuck always started it.

He heard the door creak open softly before it shut and Juvia’s soft footsteps against the carpet. She hummed to herself lightly as he assumed she took her hair down and lifted the covers. It was still different… This part of living with her when they shared a bed just to sleep in… But after everything that had happened… He didn’t want to be away from her…

Gray could feel Juvia lean over him. Her finger touched his back softly and it took everything in him not to jump… What in the world was she doing. Slowly, she drew something… Was she writing? Gray wondered, but he kept his eyes shut and continued to face the other way as Juvia continued.

G-R-A-Y-S-A-M-A

He wanted to snort… She was writing his name? He had to admit though, her soft fingers running across his back… It felt nice. He heard her sigh and her finger touched the top of his spine as she started to write.

I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U

She wrote it several times, and each time Gray could feel his heart beating a bit faster. She loved him, but he had known that for a while now… She had proved it, several times over. The woman was selfish and so sacrificing and that’s what scared Gray the most. After this last fight with Invel and almost losing her… He couldn’t imagine life without her now.

Juvia stopped writing, and he heard her give a soft yawn as she got comfortable beside him and laid down. Once Gray was sure she was resting comfortably and hopefully asleep, he turned around slowly, peaking his eyes open. She was resting soundly, her long eyelashes resting on her cheeks, her lips barely parted as she breathed softly… She was beautiful…

“I love you too,” Gray whispered quietly. His heart drummed in his ears… He had thought it many times, but this was his first time actually saying it out loud.

He knew he was in trouble when he saw her lips twitching, a small blush rising onto her cheeks. She wasn’t asleep… Her eyes popped open, and he grabbed the blankets, throwing them over her head as his cheeks flamed a dark pink at being caught.

“Gray-Sama!” Juvia whined, struggling to move the blankets.

Gray huffed, grabbing her hips and bring her back against his chest as he wrapped an arm around her and buried his head into her hair so she couldn’t see his face. “Go to sleep,” he muttered the order.

Juvia was giggling like a kid against him as he frowned… He couldn’t believe she had been awake! How could he have let her hear that… Although it was the truth, and her hair did smell really nice, like fresh rain. She reached a hand down to hold his as she sighed.

“Goodnight, Gray-Sama… Juvia loves you!” He could hear the smile in her voice and he sighed, closing his eyes again.

“Yeah, yeah, go to sleep,” he told her again, his hold on her tightening as he felt himself relax again.

Ahhhh my heart is fluttering from the fluffiness!!!

Levy burst into the Lockser studio, a cute leap and bounces in every step. The first thing she looked for was that shiny blue locks that looked so much brighter today. But everything looked a bit more today; a lot shinier, a lot brighter, like looking through rose-tinted glasses. She could even hear the birds sing. Levy did not approach the ballerina, she lurched for her, throwing her skinny arms around her neck and planted a loud peck on the surprised – and then weirded-out – ballerina on both cheeks.

“Thank you.” She squealed, squeezed Juvia in a tightened embrace and repeated the words over and over, in a pitch that went higher and higher. “Thank you for sleeping with Mr. Gray!”

Juvia slapped a hand over the little snitch’s mouth. It turned out too late, however, as the few early birds in the studio, including the amused Mrs. Lockser, had whipped their heads at the announcement. She pulled Shrimp to the side, holding her mouth hostage behind her quite surprisingly strong hand. Levy stopped protesting in the end, letting the ballerina drag her anywhere away from the small crowd.

“Sure, Shrimp. You can always come and sleep over whenever you need.” She suspiciously emphasized the words ‘sleep over’ to cover the fact that her bestest friend just outed her new relationship to everyone. The show-writer scoffed into Juvia’s hand covering her mouth.

As if anyone’s gonna believe that. She said what she said, loud and clear.

Chapter 10: CONTAGION AND VISITS

Gray couldn't help but groan. It felt like someone was hammering in his head and his throat was itching, no matter how much tea and medicine he gulped down. He heard Cana entering his office, more like barging in actually, however he didn't have the power to scold her or even lift his head up so he just turned his face in her direction instead, mumbling something along the lines of what do you want.

If Cana was bothered by his rudeness, she didn't show. Instead she was looking at him amused, a knowing smirk plastered on her face. What she knew though, he had yet to find out. He had a very good feeling about it however. If Gray didn't know better, he would say she was enjoying his misery very much. A little too much for his liking.

"Someone got a little sick, huh?" She failed a pout, looking at him with anything but Thanks for pointing out the obvious. His sarcasm was getting the best of him and Gray was afraid his moodiness wouldn't be tolerated long by Cana, so he opted with simply glaring at her instead of answering. It wasn't like she was looking for an answer anyway.

"I wonder where you catched that cold.." she was now wiggling her eyebrows, her innuendo very clear. Gray felt heat creep up his cheeks. He was sure his cold wasn't to be blamed for this, but he could still pretend it was an upcoming fever if questioned. Cana however didn't get to ask because entering the office and standing behind her was no other than Silver Fullbuster.

"Son, you look terrible."

Cana laughed while Gray just glared at them both, holding himself back from flipping them both off. Because that wouldn't be professional. And he still had a certain reputation. Instead he decided to simply be honest.

"I feel terrible too."

"Then what are you doing here?" Silver looked at him with disapproval, but you could tell that it was worry that was showing in his features. Before Gray knew what was happening to him, his father had already pushed him off his chair and was throwing his jacket over him.

"Go home and rest, son. You're no use like that here."

"I can't. There's so much to do. I can't leave it all to Cana."

"Why, where is Juvia? She'll help her out."

"Juvia is sick too. He was actually taking care of her yesterday however lover boy forgot about himself and now here we are."

Silver looked at Cana with a raised brow before a huge grin appeared on his face. He turned towards Gray very enthusiastically.

"Oh, is that so lover boy?" The two were looking at him, eagerly awaiting his answer. But Gray wasn't having any of that. No way he would give this two even more reason to act like two weirdos. Instead he groaned at the new nickname his friend had given him. And even worse, his father picked it up! He put his jacket on properly before taking his keys and phone and walking to the door.

"You know what, you're right! I definently need to go home."

"Alright son. Call me if you need anything. I'll check up on you later." Silver patted his shoulder before making his way out of the office. Gray sighed before turning to Cana.

"You'll be alright here?"

"Of course. I handled worse. Although I think I'm still a little too sober.."

"Don't overdo it. I don't want the whole office smelling like alcohol.. AGAIN." To Grays dismay, Cana wasn't even listening. Instead she had already pulled out the first bottle. Gray just shook his head and decided to just let her be. He was too tired for an argument anyway. With one final wave towards her, he left the office. But not before Cana made another remark.

"Want me to call Juvia, I'm sure she will be more than willing to take care of you, lover boy."

"BYE CANA!"

Gray hadn't arrived home yet when the first message arrived.

*Ding*

Juvia: I'm so sorry.

*Ding*

J.: I feel terrible.

*Ding*

J.: Cana told me.

*Ding*

J.: I hope you're not feeling too bad.

*Ding*

J.: I should have known better.

*Ding*

J.: I'm the worst person.

Of course Cana would tell her. What else? Gray just rolled his eyes at his friends antics before focusing back on the messages he was receiving. He couldn't help but smile. Of course Juvia would feel bad about it and blame herself even though it was his own fault. He knew she was sick and he decided to stay and pretty much cuddle with her, although he truly hoped she forgot about that part, so yeah, his fault. He wasn't sure though whether he could convince the girl who was frantically texting him of that.

Gray: It's fine, don't worry about it. It's not your fault at all. I've just got a little cold, it's nothing serious. You know Cana, always there for the drama.

J.: I'm glad to hear that. I still feel bad though. Is there anything I can do for you?

G.: How about you get well yourself and then you can worry about me :)

J.: I'm getting there. Feeling much better already. Thanks again for yesterday.

G: Sure, anytime. That's what friends are there for, right? ;)

Gray stared at his phone, waiting for her reply. Was .that the right thing to say? They were friends right? Suddenly an uneasy feeling formed in his stomach. Maybe he was getting too far ahead of himself. She was sick when they had that conversation after all. She probably didn't remember most of yesterday.

*Ding*

The moment his phone signaled a new message, Gray was pretty much staring at it. He wouldn't admit it but it was crazy, how eager he was to get a message from her. He would definently deny the stupid grin on his face if anyone ever saw him. No way, Gray Fullbuster isn't that kind of guy. He doesn't get all excited over a simple text message. And yet, here we are.

J.: I just had an idea.. but I'm not sure how you'd feel about it.

Well, now he was intrigued.

G.: Tell me and find out.

J.: Well, you just said that friends are there to take care of each other, right?

G.: Yeah, I did say that. So what's the idea?

J.: Nevermind, it's stupid. Forget about it please.

G.: Don't be ridiculous Juvia. Come on, tell me!

A few minutes passed. Gray assumed she was contemplating whether to tell him of her idea or not. He sure hoped she did because he was pretty curious. No way was he going to let her chicken out now.

J.: Don't laugh.

G.: I won't.

J.: Promise?

G.: Promise.

J.: Alright then.. Well, I was thinking.. since we are friends, like you said, and we are both sick.. we could take care of each other?

Take care of each other? Gray stared at the text, a stupid smile on his face. It was moments like that he was glad he lives alone because if anyone saw him like that, looking like a love sick idiot..

Wait, wait, hold on. Did he just use the L word? Canas nickname came to his mind. Lover boy. Did she have a point all along? Gray shook the thought away. He was going crazy. Gray Fullbuster has most likely lost it. There was no way he felt that kind of emotion. Sure, a crush from time to time. But not love. He knew better than that. And yet, he couldn't deny that the girl had awoken emotions in him he hadn't felt before. He had yet to figure them out tho..

J.: I knew it was stupid.. just forget about it please!

Gray was so deep in thoughts, he didn't realize that he left her on read for a few minutes already. He panicked, afraid he had messed up already.

G.: NO!

J.: No?

G.: Sorry, I meant.. no, it's not stupid.

J.: It's not?

G.: I like your idea.

J.: You do?

G.: Yes.

J.: Oh.. well, I'm glad you do :)

The smile on his face didn't falter once during their conversation, despite the uneasy feeling regarding his newfound emotions.

He was genuinely happy that Juvia wanted to spend time with him. He wasn't exactly the most outgoing person after all. But he did have to admit that he made an effort with her from the beginning. There was just something special about her..

Although his happiness did get clouded by some doubts which started creeping up on him. Was he supposed to come over to her place again? Would Gajeel be there this time? He was sure the guy wouldn't be thrilled about it. And he had alreadt been to her place twice. Would she think he was taking advantage of her hospitality?

Should he invite her over to his place instead? What if that freaked her out? He didn't want to make her uncomfortable. There was also another issue at hand. Gray glanced around his apartment. There were clothes thrown everywhere. He was also sure that his fridge was empty and were that the leftovers from two days ago piling up on his dining table?

He groaned. There was no way he could let Juvia see his place like this. What kind of impression would that leave? Especially because her place seemed to be cleaned over the top. It was spotless. Thinking back to the plate incident, that didn't surprise him. This however made the current state of his place appear even worse to him.

Was there enough time to get some stuff from the store, clean the place and make himself look a little more presentable before Juvia arrived? He didn't know but he was about to find out.

G.: My place this time. Can you come over?

J.: Are you sure? I don't mind you staying at my place again.

G.: Is Gajeel going to be there?

J.: ...

J.: Yes..

G.: My place it is!

Gray texted her his address before starting with the tiring task of cleaning. He wasn't aware how many clothes he had sprawled out all over his place until he had to pick them up at once. When it looked decent enough, it sure wasn't going to sparkle, he was a young man living alone after all, he threw on his jacket and jogged to the nearest store.

To his luck, Juvia had texted him saying that she was going to take a little longer because of an ongoing discussion with Gajeel about her having to stay in bed. That bought Gray enough time to finish his tasks and he was grateful to the big guy, although he would never tell him that.

He had just put the last thing away when his doorbell rang. He still looked like a mess, but considering he was sick, he just shrugged it off. Juvia would understand.

The doorbell rang again. Gray raised an eyebrow at that. He didn't take Juvia for the impatient kind, but there was still a lot he had yet to learn about her. Practically sprinting to the door, he threw it open, already anticipating the bluennete, only to find someone else in front of him. Someone who looked nothing like the girl he was looking forward to seeing.

"Hey, man! How you doing?" Natsu came barging in, a huge grin on his face, followed closely by a tired, but still amused Lucy.

"What.. what are you guys doing here?"

"Checking up on you. Cana said you're home and sick."

"Is there anyone Cana didn't tell?"

"Probably not, she sent it in our group chat."

Gray groaned, clearly annoyed while Lucy just laughed at him. Telling Juvia was one thing, he was kind of glad she did that, but also telling everyone else? That was a move she could have slipped. He hated being sick already and having everyone make a fuss around him just made it worse.

"Hey, be glad! We're here to take care of you."

He kinda already had someone else for that. But he couldn't just say that. And especially not word it like that! Cana had already managed to create enough rumours, he didn't need to empower them. Now he wasn't sure how to avoid the matter though, considering Juvia would arrive any moment now and those two idiots he called his friends seemed to have gotten quite comfortable with his couch already.

"Oh, you bought food?"

"Not for you." Gray didn't bother covering the annoyance in his voice. The twitch of his eye would give it away anyways.

"Who then?"

"You're not expecting anyone, are you?" Lucy seemed genuinely concerned. At this, Gray felt bad. They were here to check up on him after all. Besides it's not like he could hide Juvia.. and he wasn't going to tell her not to come. He just hoped she wouldn't be as bothered with the company as he was.

"Juvia is coming over." He mumbled quietly, not sure if he actually wanted them to know. He wasn't sure why though.. Juvia is his friend after all, there was nothing weird about her coming over.

"Juvia? Your new employee?"

"Yeah.. We're friends now."

"Friends, huh?" Lucy was looking a lot like Cana in that moment. What was with woman and that look anyways?

"Yes, friends." Gray put more emphasis on the last word. Before he could say anything else, the doorbell rang. He really hoped it was Juvia this time and not another one of his friends. He could deal with Natsu and Lucy, but more of his crazy friends could seriously pose a challenge.

"I'll get it!" Natsu was making his way over to the door already when Gray tackled him.

"Don't even think about it!"

"What's your problem snowflake?"

"You're my problem, hothead!"

The argument turned into a fight quickly. Lucy just sighed before stepping over the two boys and making her way to the door to greet the confused girl standing there.

"Hey there. Juvia, right?"

The girl nodded, still looking a little lost. Lucy gestured for her to come in before introducing herself as one of Grays friends. Then she pointed towards the two boys, still wrestling it out.

"Don't mind that, just give them a few more minutes."

"Is that normal?"

"Yeah, that's just them being friendly with each other. Come on, I'll get us something to drink while those two battle it out. How does tea sound?"

"Um, sounds good.. thank you."

Juvia trailed behind Lucy, but not before looking over to the pink haired boy who was trying to throw a punch at her very shirtless friend/boss. Oh, dear.. Juvia could only wonder what she had got herself into.

It's finally here, a new chapter! I apologize for taking so long. I'll try to update more frequently again.

I hope you enjoy this chapter! Love you guys 💙

I missed this

Prompt number: 13 - “I missed this”

Fandom: Fairy Tail

Rating: G

My Fictober 2020 contribution.

I’m sorry for the mistakes, English is not my mother tongue. I hope you like it.

Summary : Gray arrived outside the door of his house and opened it. He was greeted with a delicious scent. He headed for to the kitchen, curious, and he saw Juvia. She was in front of the stove and she had her back to him.

Disclaimer : Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima.

Gray went home, and said goodbye to his friends. He was exhausted, but he was feeling good. Rebuilding the guild was not easy, but he was happy. He had seen his home and his family again. But what he did not expect was that the months he had spent with Juvia would have become the main topic of conversations of the guild members. In just one day, he had heard the craziest rumors about his relationship with Juvia. They were married, they had a child, and Lucy was his lover. He hoped that this latest rumor would not come to Juvia’s ears. He did not want to break her heart, she had already suffered enough because of him when he had been spying on Avatar.

He arrived outside the door of his house and opened it. He was greeted with a delicious scent. He headed for to the kitchen, curious, and he saw Juvia. She was in front of the stove and she had her back to him. He had given her a spare set of keys when they returned to Magnolia. If she needed it, she could come whenever she liked.

Memories of the months they had spent together came back to him. During this time, he realized that for the first time, in a long time, he was happy. Leaving her was the most difficult thing he had done. Deep down, he was afraid she would resent him. He did not know what he would have done if she did not want to see him again. But she had found the strength to forgive him. Gray felt lucky to have her in his life.

‘Tadaima,’ he said.

He felt like they were still in the house where there was only them. Juvia looked at him and smiled.

‘Okaeri, Gray-sama.’

She removed the saucepan from the heat, she did not want to burn its contents.

‘Juvia hopes she don’t to disturb Gray-sama. She knows she should use the keys if need arises, but she figured you’d love to eat a home-cooked meal.’

It was true that he had not eaten anything like that since he was in Avatar. And he had not had the chance to be alone with Juvia yet. He told himself he would like to spend the rest of his life with her like that. It was now impossible for him to think of a future without her.

‘You did well. Thank you.’

He walked over to her and hugged her. He was not used to being so affectionate. But right now, he needed to feel her against him. Juvia was surprised, but she put her arms around him.

‘I missed it,’ he said. ‘I missed you.’

He had missed that feeling of peace, of happiness and knowing that when he was with her everything was fine. He understood that he loved her and that no matter where he was, as long as he was with Juvia, he always had a home.

The end

I love this 💙

A Glimpse of the Future

Juvia ran to the guild as fast as her feet could take her. If she only knew they’d be back this morning, she wouldn’t have taken that three-day job outside Magnolia that prevented her from taking her usual station at the table nearest the guild doors – the one she claimed for herself every time Gray would come back from a mission.

She barged right into Fairy Tail and shouted, “Gray-sama!” attracting the attention of a few guild members. Everyone was so used to her Gray-related antics by now that they no longer pay much attention to it. Max simply pointed to the direction of the infirmary with a kind smile and told her, “He’s over there, Juvia.”

“Thank you, Max-san!” Juvia gave him a clumsy bow before she dashed off to the infirmary, as if Gray might disappear any moment. 

After all, it wasn’t like her fear was unfounded. The last time they were together, Gray’s body suddenly glowed and disappeared to God-knows-where for days. Only the thought of the rest of Team Natsu being with him made Juvia calm down.

And now they were back, she could hardly wait to see her Gray-sama.
