STEEL


A squeak, followed by a burp, and then a giggle...

It was cuteness overload.

Juvia Lockser thought there would be no other man to occupy her heart than the always stoic Gray Fullbuster. Fate had a different plan for her.

A year ago she was blessed to meet the boy who completely changed her life. Pining for Gray day after day was tiring. Professing her love every chance she got was exhausting. Devoting herself for the ice mage alone was draining. She was ready to give up.

And then, she met Steel.

His eyes were the colour of the sky on a cool summer day — refreshing, relaxing, and simply smile-generating. His hair was the colour of the wintry sky during a snowy night, deep dark blue — heartwarming and romantic. His smile lifted the dark clouds away. His intense gaze filled her heart.

Just looking at Steel made Juvia happy.

Juvia vowed to be devoted to Steel until she would expel her last breath. After all, she already surrendered her heart to him completely.

"Energetic as always," a deep and manly voice said from behind.

Juvia didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Her eyes were simply fixated on the love of her life.

Gray Fullbuster sat beside the blue-haired woman, who just couldn't take her deep blue orbs away from the chubby, rosy-cheeked toddler trying to crawl on the carpeted floor.

"That's my boy!" Gray crawled forward to meet his son.

Steel Lockser-Fullbuster squealed and giggled, and even burped, as soon as his father rubbed his head gently. All Juvia could do was laugh at the bundle of joy right in front of them.


A/N: After years of absence (and formerly writing under ladie shinomori), I'm back to testing the waters of fanfiction writing. I have bigger plans for this story, but as I've stated, it's still in the testing process. I'm not sure how it'll be received, as I'm not exactly entirely dedicated in reading/watching Fairy Tail. However, I do love Juvia's character. If the story focuses on her most of the time, I'd probably be up-to-date with the story. Hopefully, I can get their characterization as close as possible, if not entirely accurate. I do hope readers will enjoy this.
