Title: Another Chance
Summary:
Modern AU
Juvia and Gray were college sweethearts but broke up due to unknown reasons. Years later, they meet again, but wait- who's this kid with her?
oOoOoOo
The weather was very cold- well given that it is the middle of December. A certain bluenette was standing in the park waiting for her lover. The two of them had promised eachother that they would visit a certain store. She waited, seconds turned to minutes, and minutes turned to hours. As time ticked by, the girl was getting teary-eyed."Gray-sama" she murmured as she brought her hands to her mouth, rubbing it together to warm it up.
She was feeling cold, but she was adamant on staying, believing that her lover would come. She looked around, trying to catch a glimpse of his dark raven hair.
"-via!" a familiar voice called out "Juvia!"
She whirled around, just in time to face the man that she had fallen love at fi-
oOoOoOo
"Mommy!" a cute voice broke 25 year old Juvia Lockser from her thoughts. Looking down, she stared at her 5-year old son, who was pulling on her shirt.
"What is it, baby?" she asked smiling, as she knelt down to look at her son. He was wearing his blue pajamas with snowflakes designs.
"I want to see Uncle Gajeel!" the adorable boy whined. Juvia sighed; surely she couldn't ignore her son's request. He was too cute. "I will also make him a bento"
Ulrich Lockser, you can say is an adorable boy, who is an exact replica of his father except for his eyes. The attitude was a mixture of both parents; he can be kind and caring but can also be stubborn and reckless sometimes.
"We can go visit your uncle after you take a bath" his mother said as she tickled him before carrying him to the bathroom.
"I don't wanna~" Ulrich whined
"And why is that honey?" Juvia looked at her son
The child pouted "Water is too warm" he said, puffing his cheeks cutely
"Eh?" she was quite surprised at his answer
"I like it cold" he shyly said
Juvia chuckled, he really is like his father, she thought sadly.
oOoOoOo
When the mother and son had arrived at the TPD* crime lab, where Ulrich's uncle Gajeel works in, the two were immediately greeted by the other workers. Ulrich was wearing a black shirt and white pants and pair of blue shoes while his mother, was clad in a white sundress, blue blazer and a pair of brown knee-high boots.
"Where is Uncle Gajeel, Mira-nee?" Ulrich asked, as he excitedly looked around. Mirajane Strauss, who works in the reception desk, greeted the two warmly before she looked at Ulrich.
"I'm afraid your uncle is out on some case, Ulrich" she smiled as she patted his head.
Ulrich frowned; completely displeased at the news "Mommy!" he whined "Call him"
"Ul-chan" Juvia said, using her son's nickname to calm him down before he throws a tantrum in the lab "Your uncle is busy, I'm sure he's going to be here soon" the woman turned to look at the receptionist for confirmation.
Mirajane nodded "Ul-chan, your uncle will be here soon." She looked at Juvia for permission, and understanding the woman's intention, the bluenette agreed.
"Then Ul-chan, why don't we go eat some snacks while we wait for uncle Gajeel, hm?" Mirajane asked the boy
"Okay, then Mira-nee!" he replied, grabbing hold of the receptionist hand as they headed to the break room "I want cookies!"
When the two were gone, Juvia decided to visit Gajeel's office, she was sure it was all messed up since the guy was promoted to CSI level 3 he became busier with the cases and never really had the time to clean up his place.
Upon entering the said man's lair, the bluenette saw a familiar girl, with a brighter shade of blue hair, and was wearing a lab gown. Her short hair covered by an orange bandana.
"Levy-chan! Good morning!" Juvia greeted the said girl. The latter turned around and smiled upon seeing the older bluenette.
"Ju-chan! Morning!" Levy McGarden smiled "Gajeel is not here… Is Ul-chan looking for him again?" She is Gajeel RedFox's girlfriend and a lab tech specializing in DNA
Juvia smiled "Its okay… Ul-chan is really fond of his uncle"
Levy grinned at this "It's because he sees Gajeel as his fath- Oh! I'm so sorry Ju-chan!"
"It's okay Levy-chan! I already know…" smiled sadly "I just wish that Ul-chan will grow up to be a good person even without his daddy"
The younger bluenette hugged the older woman "Of course he will! Juvia Lockser is his mother!"
"Thanks Levy-chan!"
"Oi! Levy! I heard Juvia and the brat is here!" a familiar loud booming voice yelled, as tough looking man came in. He had long wild hair and piercings. He was wearing a black shirt with skull designs and black ragged pants and a pair of black shoes.
"Gajeel! Your too loud!" Levy puffed her cheeks cutely
"Shrimp!" Gajeel teased. Levy just ignored her boyfriend's antics, after saying goodbye to Juvia and a kissed on Gajeel's cheek, she left the cousins to talk.
"So, where is the brat Juvia?" he asked gruffly
"Mou, Gajeel-kun, you wont even greet me?" huvia teased her cousin before holding up a nicely packed bento "I even made you breakfast"
"Whatever, Thanks!" He grinned as he grabbed the bento out her hands and began to unwrap it before wolfing down the food.
"Ul-chan really likes to visit you Gajeel-kun" Juvia said as she watched the man eat rapidly.
"I know! The brat's too nosy! Always asking about my work" Gajeel groaned "Doesn't he know it's dangerous?"
Juvia giggled "He idolizes you Gajeel-kun!"
"Yeah right! So where is he? I'm surprise he isn't here"
"Uncle Gajeel!" Ulrich came in running and hugged his uncle in the chest, who was still eating. Mirajane was after him, Juvia smiled at the woman.
"Thank you for looking after him, Mira-san" the bluenette bowed politely
"haha! It's okay Juvia! He's a pretty sweet boy!" Mirajane smiled before saying goodbye and took her leave.
"Hey! Watch it brat!" Gajeel raised the bento so it wouldn't topple over because of the child's sudden arrival.
"Uncle Gajeel!" Ulrich pouted adorably "Don't call me brat! I'm a big boy already!" he whined childishly
"Once a brat always a brat!" the CSI patted the boy's head
"So what case did you solve today?!" Ulrich asked excitedly, jumping up and down, Juvia could only smile at her son's antics.
"You know, for a kid, your pretty weird" Gajeel eyed the boy tentatively "Why don't you play with...uh...Stuffs that kids play at your age huh?"
"Uncle Gajeel! Playing with stuff toys are for little boys!" he frowned as he crossed his arms over his chest.
oOoOoOo
A 28 year old handsome raven haired man was packing his things in a box, he looked like he was fired but in truth he was actually just promoted and assigned to another place together with his friend/enemy.
"Yo ice pants! You done packing?" a guy with the same age who has spiky pink hair and a goofy grin plastered on his face walked over to the raven haired man.
"Shut up Natsu!"
"Oh come on Gray! Are you really that mad just because the old man assigned us to another place?" Natsu asked
"Damn yeah! Moving means I need to find another place to stay in!" Gray complained as he sealed his box
"hahaha! Poor you! I already have a place to stay in!" Natsu boasted
"Really? And where is that firebreath?"
"I'll be staying in my girlfriend's place"
"You mean Lucy's place?"
Natsu nodded
"Oh yeah, she works as a lab tech in TPD crime lab right?" Gray asked "When is she going to get promoted to field work?"
Natsu sighed "Actually Lucy doesn't want to get promoted, she can't take the field work" he frowned before continuing "she said she doesn't want to walk a lot and go to dangerous and disgusting places"
Gray just smirked as he listened to his friend/enemy rant about Lucy's reasons on not doing field work, it made him think about his ex-girlfriend Juvia, she was the total opposite of Lucy.
"-now, I mean, what is so disgusting about our job? It's just investigating the crime scene, looking and checking the body, evidences and- Gray! Are you listening to me man?"
"No" Gray deadpanned "Your so annoying!"
"Huh?! You wanna fight porn prince?!"
The two continued to fight verbally as they walked out of Osaka's police department HQ, and head to the parking lot where they drove Gray's blue car.
oOoOoOo
After bugging his uncle, Ulrich decided to look around the lab, so he left his mom with his uncle.
He was in the hallway, still thinking on where to go, when someone bumped on him.
"Oh, sorry kid, I didn't see you" the man smiled apologetically. He was carrying a huge box.
Ulrich didn't know the man but he somehow felt that the man was…He didn't know how to explain it.
"Its okay mister" Ulrich said "Say, are you new here?"
The man looked confused "How did you know? I was just assigned here"
Ulrich smiled "my mommy always brings me here to see my uncle!"
"So what's your name?"
"Ulrich!"
"I'm Gray Fullbuster, nice to meet you kid!"
"hahaha! Nice to meet you too Mister Gray!"
So this is it! hahaha! Do you like it? Hate it? Please review! And if you guys are a bit confused, things will be more explained in the next chapter.
