Kiiitcat here! I've realised i cannot commit myself to a full fanfic.
With a full schedule and a wild mind that imagines the next part before i can finish what i'm writing - well it's a tad of a struggle.
I do hope you enjoy this little drabble. And when i say little, i mean TINY!
It just came out of nowhere and i have no idea where it went. whether i want to play on the idea more, it may be fun to write previous to this scene. It's just a scattered mess of words written on whim at 11pm.
Enjoy G's! KK X
(oh and enjoy the essence of the english S's to Z's. Word is never happy)
Oven of Love
The chatter buzzed through the room, parts of conversations being picked up, from a wailing Lucy that ended up the canal and a boasting Natsu of when he managed to move Gildarts with the power of his Dragon's fire to a giggling Happy who was up to no good as always.
Juvia sighed in contentment at the warmth filled crowd, eyes grazing along everyone's head and lingering a little too long at the mop of dark hair that made her Gray just that more perfect.
Sensing her eyes, he turned his head over his shoulder away from the group conversation and a smirk played on his lips.
Juvia's heart caught in her throat at the motion. She should be used to the smiles, the attention, and the loving look in his eyes she now gets to see most days. But yet, it felt like the first time every time she sees it and it makes her love for him grow ever so more.
She was torn the way they were, just for themselves but for no one else's eyes. Oh she wished he could give her those looks in front of their friends, but this was Gray. She shouldn't think this way, she had finally got the return of love she longer from him. If she waited all this time to get him to reciprocate the feelings, surely she could wait a little more.
A flashing light catches her eyes, pulling her out of her daze. She hops off her chair and squeezes past the crowd to get to the oven. The smell of cookies wafts towards her, bringing out a great grin. Oh how everyone will be excited by her treats! And especially Gray-sama!
With her head twirling in her exaggerated thoughts, little thought did she put into her safety or awareness.
She opened the over to bask upon her newly baked treats and grabbed out for the tray.
It wasn't until she was mid stance she realised how hot the tray actually was. Actually, scratch that how scalding the metal tray was in her poor bare hands!
She let out a small scream full of agony and confusion as she stumbled back to the counter to chuck the rendering hot tray on. Heads turned at the noise and the place was stunned into silence with small gasps and "Juvia! 's". She smiled weakly at them and was about to head to the sink when a larger pair of hands rasped hers.
Juvia upturned her head and was surprised to find Gray there with worry etched into his face. In a second a cool relief spread through her hands, passed from Gray's hands through his ice magic. As they stood in the middle of the kitchen, Juvia's face trained onto Gray as he so openly cared for her. It wasn't that he didn't care; it was just there were so many people around. His mop of coal coloured hair shagged down over his eyes and his eyebrows were deep in a frown searching her hands for any injury.
Realisation dawned on him as he slowly lifted his head from Juvia's hands and turned to the rest of the room, his eyes slightly widening.
There he was met with happy smiles and knowing looks and a confused mumbling from Natsu saying how Gray never cools his hands off after a big fight.
Well, if no one knew about Gray and Juvia, they sure do now.
