OF OVERDUE BOOKS AND
UNDERWEAR PRINCES
You have a book overdue for two months and Juvia is going to track you down coz' she hasn't read it yet.
CHAPTER-1
:in which Juvia becomes the
heiress of the James Bond Legacy
Juvia frowned down at the computer screen. On it, in bold letters was a list of all the books in the library. Next to each names was the author's name, then a series of three ticks. At the very end there was a book (Dr Zervis' book on Ice sculptors), which had only two ticks.
It was at this very title that Juvia was glowering at.
Why? You ask, is Juvia situated in a dimly lit library, with one of the old computer systems open at this list of books?
Juvia had taken on a mission, a mission to finish reading all of the books in the library. (A feat, which had already been accomplished by Levy and Lucy as seen by the three ticks against each books name in the list.) The reason that the last book (Dr Zervis' book on ice sculptors) only has two ticks was because Juvia just couldn't find it.
She had scoured the shelves for the book, then admitted defeat and sat down at one of the ridiculously ancient computers to search it up. It had taken fifteen minutes to reboot and when she finally found the link of the book, clicked on it, waited five minutes for it too load, she found out that some guy named Gray Fullbuster had it overdue for two damn months.
She clicked on his profile, where his personal details were written and without a second thought, swiped up her phone and punched his number into it.
He didn't answer.
She tried again. No answer.
Okay then. As he is so hell bent on testing her patience, she will just have to track him down.
The next day saw Juvia in her usual attire, taking a bus to the neighbourhood where she determined that Gray Fullbuster lived.
He lived pretty far from Fairy hills, where her own dormitory was situated. His apartment was more at the outskirts of the city. And it took her a good hour to reach there.
When she did finally reach she located his apartment to be on the fifth floor, south facing.
Deciding that she would just wait for him to come out then she would confront him, she settled down on a bench and took out her phone.
One new message:
Lucy –Meeting up with some of the guys at Fairy Tail café,
want to come?
Juvia – Lucy-san hardly meets up with guys, why the change of
mind?
Lucy – Nothing much, just these guys are interesting and we were bored.
Juvia – We?
Lucy – Me, Levy, Erza and Wendy.
Juvia – Oh, ok then. What time?
Lucy – In thirty minutes.
Juvia – Ok, you can expect Juvia to be there. Though she has a question.
Lucy- Shoot.
Juvia- This doesn't have anything to do with a certain pink haired man, does it?
Lucy – Bye.
Juvia giggled at Lucy's abrupt departure from the chat. Her buxom friend had been swooning over a guy with whom she had to do her astrology project with.
Apparently, he was kiddish, immature and all round annoying at first but Lucy had started to find him endearing and was seen with him many times even after they scored an A on the astrology project.
Of course, when Levy, Juvia and Erza had confronted her about him, she denied it but Levy, Juvia and Erza Knew everything. In fact it was kinda creepy how they were the ones who were behind nearly all of Natsu and Lucy's accidental meetings.
A sudden bang jump-started Juvia out of her thoughts and she looked up to see one of the hottest men alive.
He was the kind of man she would drool over from afar. Handsome and alluring. Dark and broody. The kind of man that existed only in storybooks.
But. This kind of guy most probably didn't even read much less read Dr Zervis' book on ice sculptors and find it interesting.
Okay good. She can keep wiping drool off her chin from afar.
But something told Juvia this dark haired man would be important in her life.
Unfortunately, her suspicions were confirmed when he yelled into his phone, "It's Gray, ash for brains! Not underwear prince!"
Well, this is bad.
After Gray had walked a few paces in front of her, she got up and followed him. Her stalking led her to the bus stop, a bus and then surprisingly Fairy Tail.
Okay, this was going surprisingly well, other than the fact that he looked like a male model. Juvia had to be in Fairy Tail around this time anyway. And then she could expose this book thief in front of everyone!
Cue evil laugh.
She hummed quietly to herself as she entered only to slam straight into a wall.
A very cold wall.
"Eh?" Juvia looked up to see that she had bumped into the one and only Gray Fullbuster.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the epitome of stupidness.
"Why are you following me?" Gray frowned down (So tall!) at her.
"W-What do you mean?" Okay, act casual Juvia…
"You know what I mean!"
Juvia looked up at him and immediately realized it was the wrong choice. Looking into those piercing eyes made her go wobbly at the knees, the usually huge arsenal of insults and comebacks were now empty.
"Juvia cannot do this." She muttered and turned around.
"Hey, wait!" She felt a cool hand latch onto her wrist.
She immediately pulled away and backed away from the handsome man. "Juvia can sue Gray Fullbuster for sexual advances!" She ground out, it completely slipped her mind to not say his name.
"You're going to sue me?! You're the one who's been following me all morning! Plus, you know my name! How do you even know my name?"
Well, the cat is out of the bag. Might as well come clean now.
Firmly avoiding his gaze, Juvia muttered, "Juvia has been sent on an errand, you, Gray Fullbuster have a book overdue at the library for the last two months!"
"Eh? Library…?"
Juvia drew herself to her full height, "Yes! Dr Zervis' book on ice sculptors, Gray hasn't returned it yet!"
She looked up to gauge his reaction, promptly felt her knees go week and turned around, waiting for his answer.
"Dr Zervis… Ice sculptors…"
Aww, he sounds like a little kid.
"Wait a second, I think I know what you're talking about." The cold hand grasped onto her shoulder this time and pulled her around to face him.
"Look, I'm sorry I didn't return the book. I needed it for a project and after that I just forgot about it. I'll pay the fine and everything."
Juvia nodded along to his words. But in reality she was thinking about how hot he was. And how he would hold onto her shoulders like that when he would proclaim his love for her.
"Oh ok. If Gray could drop it of tom- ahhh!"
The last part was because someone rammed into her from behind and threw her right onto Gray. And her boob was… in a rather interesting place.
"Oi! Ash for brains look where you're going!" Gray yelled from under her.
He was unintentionally squeezing her boob, but then he looked down and realized what he was doing.
"Aaaaiiii! Shit, I'm so so sorry Juvia!"
Juvia scrambled of him quickly and got up, dusting her skirt off. She knew she looked like a tomato. And to make it worse, Lucy came out behind the pink haired man, who was engaged in battle of insults with Gray (Look at what you made me do!), fixed her gaze on Juvia and asked, in a very straight forward, blunt, Erza-ish way,
"Why do you look like one of those cartoon girls with hearts in their eyes?"
Deciding not to dignify her with an answer, Juvia turned around and…
… Promptly fainted because Gray was now shirtless.
Hello readers!
So, new story starring… drumroll please… Gruvia!
Honestly, those two are my otp of Fairy Tail- So cute! I really liked the idea of the girls in Fairy Tail being best friends and having this book club kinda thing, and out of there came this idea of Juvia tracking down Gray for an overdue book!
And thus, the stalking began.
But, I hope you like it!
