Months late, yay! I think I was at the dentist around the actual week back in April so I totally didn't go searching for anything cause I get nervous about the dentist - gotta have an operation on August 25th...ugh - but then I was like, wait, when was Gruvia week cause I don't write enough Gruvia (shamefully) and then found the page and was like "oh...back in April, shit" xD
Anyway, since the manga finished back in July and I've seen Dragon Cry (planning to rewatch it in dub for better quality, the video I found wasn't the best and I actually like dubs - stfu), I've actually been thinking about kid OCs for certain couples (whether I like them or not, e.g. yes I do have an OC kid for NaLu even though I don't ship NaLu) and I thought that perhaps doing Gruvia week anyway would be a nice way of introducing my Gruvia kid OCs. There are three of them, two sons and a daughter of all different ages.
I know that Storm is pretty much the Gruvia kid made by near enough the entire fanbase but I like his name and it's suitable enough so I kept him in this. The other two, however, are my original kids for Gray and Juvia. Torrent and Amnis.
Anyway, hope you enjoy some good ol' Gruvia!
Prompt: Passion
The Fullbuster family turned out to be the passionate kind. The seniors were passionate about their magic and their love for one another, though one showed it more than the other. The newer generation were also passionate about their family. They knew little magic, but they were willing to try their very best which people often commented that they got that from their father more so than their mother. So far their little family consisted of a father, a mother and their two sons who were three years apart in age.
The eldest was Storm. He looked close enough to a carbon copy of his father, and was determined to uphold his and his mother's legacies when their time came to pass on. He always loved to hear the stories of when his parents were only teenagers - how they met, how they fell in love, how they'd come so dangerously close to losing one another at times. He practiced hard at learning his ice-make magic in hopes of having his father's awesome devil slayer magic handed down to him. He loved to explore and could sometimes become overly ambitious, mostly without truly realising.
Then their other son and current youngest was Torrent. He took after his mother more than his father, unlike Storm. He had been born with the magic to become a water mage and so spent most of his training down by rivers, lakes, streams and oceans to practice controlling the water and bend it to his will. He was kind and very sweet and had an extremely close bond with his older brother. He has a habit of seeking out his brother if he needs to talk about something and doesn't feel he can bring himself to tell his parents.
Currently the two boys were with their father in the Fairy Tail guild while their mother was out on a small job request with Gajeel and Levy to rack up some jewels. And it seemed that Storm had decided to try persuading his father into upgrading his magic.
"Daaaaaaaaaaad?" The eldest Fullbuster child asked, trying to look sweet and innocent as he climbed up onto the barstool beside Gray, shooting Mira a smile when she looked his way.
"Storm, if you're here to ask me about a magic upgrade then the answer is still no" Gray replied, not even opening his eyes to look at his son, who huffed in annoyance. "I keep telling you, you have to work hard on your current magic, respect it, and earn your inheritance".
"But I have been working hard! I know almost every spell you've taught me! Why can't I have some devil slayer magic too?" He pouted and clung to Gray's arm, hiding his face in the senior Fullbuster's shirt. "It's not fair..." he mumbled.
"Life ain't fair, kiddo" Gray's tone turned softer and a bit more sympathetic as he pulled Storm fully onto his lap. "I know you want to learn special magic, but I'm not allowing you to because I know you only want it to upstage your cousin".
"But Gelu's such a jerk to me most of the time! He's always saying how my magic is just basic and that I can't cast the more powerful spells and stuff like that! So, I just thought that if I could learn your devil slayer magic then...then I could just show him that I can be a proper ice mage. I just want to put him in his place".
"I know, he's just how his father was back when me and him were kids. Just ignore him and focus on your own life. I'm fairly sure your uncle has had to put him in his place numerous times" Gray smirked a little bit and Storm nodded.
"Yeah, I bet getting on Uncle Lyon's bad side isn't his favourite thing in the world, hehe". The young boy then looked around for his brother. "Can me and Torrent go down to the river for a bit to practice?"
"Sure, just try not to drown anyone or give them hypothermia. And definitely make sure your brother stays safe".
Storm grinned and jumped down. "Got it!" He then ran over to his brother and grabbed him by the hand, effectively dragging him away outside to the river.
Gray watched and shook his head with a small contented sigh. He sure had his work cut out for him.
