Obviously this is not an update of "Another World". And I know someone in the reviews is going to chew me out for it because I haven't updated in like a MONTH. Which I'm truly sorry about! It's just that writer's block is always a killer. This led me to googling ways to cure writer's block and what do you know? I found this little activity where I write whatever I want (even if it's garbage) for 3 minutes straight without stopping, supposedly a challenge that helps writers overcome writer's block. And it did! I wrote this in 3 minutes, edited it for 2, and now I have a new story I'll probably make this story filled with random drabbled of "garbage" lol. Maybe I'll take requests?

Anyways, please take this scrap of minor gruvia angst before I post the next update of AW.

Title: The One

Summary: She continues to glow as radiant as ever, while his light slowly starts to dim.

Rating: T for cursing

Warning: none hoe.

Gray watched Juvia from afar with a look of longing and disdain on his face.

She was beautiful. Everything he wanted in life. If he had her on his arm, he wouldn't need another damn thing because he would already have the world.

If this were a year ago, before she started to date that pathetic excuse of a man (he wasn't even a mage for fucks sake! How could he protect her?!), maybe she'd grant him his little wish.

No, he knew that in a heartbeat, the beautiful water maiden would throw herself in his arms, crying out how her dreams had finally come true as her warm embrace tightened around his torso.

His would come true too.

He would smile back down at her and apologize for making her wait so long and that he was a fool for almost letting her slip away and that she was the most beautiful woman who deserved all the love in the world and that he promised to be the one to give it to her.

Then she would give him that breathtaking smile of hers filled with unconditional love and passion and declare her love for him as she's done all those times before and thank him for finally confessing and then she'd lean up to kiss him with those plump pink lips and then all would be right in the world.

He would be happy, not sulking around the guild like a pathetic idiot like he's been doing for the past month.

What right did he have though? It's not like he let Juvia know that her feelings were returned. It was all his fault. It was he who made her feel like her efforts were for naught, and that she wasn't an important factor in his life. It was his ignorance that drove her straight into another man's arms.

It was he who had lost.

And now he was here. Alone at the guild's bar, watching as the best thing that's ever happened to him smile and laugh with their friends, and that damn boyfriend of hers with his excruciatingly annoying face with his arm around the love of his life, without a care in the world.

Happy and content.

Without him.

So what'd you think? Please please review! I've been looking at the reviews on AW as inspiration to keep on keeping on, and if I see reviews on this, I'll know that y'all want more of this type of stuff. You can request some stuff too I guess, just don't expect me to write it ASAP.

Bye bye for now lovelies!
