A/N: I have had this idea for a while and I will try to make it my own! Please give me your opinions! Just to be clear, this will be a Gruvia fanfic, but at the same time, Lyon's not really a villain. I understand that some may not like some aspects of this plot, but I think you'll find if you read all the way through that it will not turn out as badly as you think.
If it is, well go ahead and don't read any further after this chap. That is your right after all!
Also, the setting of this is after the Magic Games, and (please keep an open mind!) the whole fight with the dragons never happened. Lyon did not give up on Juvia in this.
She hadn't mean to do it, really. It was an accident she swore.
It was horrible. It made her sick, but she couldn't take back what she'd done. How could she be so careless with someone else's heart? It was the same cruel treatment she had received from Gray.
It all started a lit bit after the magic games. Everyone from Fairy Tail was ecstatic about winning the Magic Games, including Juvia, well, sort of.
But she couldn't deny the struggles she'd endured for the past week. As if unrequited love wasn't bad enough, a love triangle had thrown their relationship out of whack. Things were far more complicated than they needed to be. She loved Gray, and Lyon, well, he loved her. A simple problem, really. Somebody would have to return the love that another had for them. Unfortunately Juvia didn't love him back, and she didn't know if Gray loved her back.
Juvia Lockser, the mage who had been in love for what seemed like, years felt so guilty. She hated that she couldn't enjoy her own guild's amazing victory, but she couldn't help it. Everbody was mingling at the celebration and having a ball. She herself had been in such a high after doing the unison raid with Gray, but after that, it was like nothing had happened. She was hurt, by the one whom she had loved for ages. The one she would love for infinity. The one who had stolen heart from the day she met him.
"Juvia-chan? Is everything alright?" She looked up to see a familiar silver haired ice mage standing over her.
"She's fine." Juvia sighed. "Just a little worn out from the games." Came her excuse. She looked back down and began twiddling her fingers.
"Oh? So I take it you're too tired to dance?" He inquired.
The water mage tried to find Gray with her eyes, but he was nowhere to be seen. "Yes, she's very tired." She said while laying her head down on the table.
"Are you sure you're just tired? Or is something bothering you?" He pushed her to open up.
"Juvia's tired. She promises." What she said was partly true because she was tired, but purposefully left out the other information.
Lyon sighed. "I see. Well, maybe you'd like a drink then?"
She was about to say no, when Juvia realized that she definitely could use a drink. Who wouldn't? After all the work she had done to win Gray's heart, she had nothing to show for it. And seeing that he wasn't going to give up until he got his way with something, she figure it was reasonable. She weighed her options. Have a drink and risk giving Lyon the message that she wanted him to stick around? Or deny the drink and wallow in her own misery? She could just buy herself a drink after he left,. That was what she would do, had she had any money.
"Sure, Juvia could use a drink." Although she hated to admit it, giving in was liberating
"What kind?"
"Surprise me." She replied.
The ice mage left her for a brief moment and returned with two drinks.
"What is this?" She asked him. Juvia wasn't too familiar with alcoholic beverages. She wasn't into drinking as much as say, Cana. The water mage had had a few drinks in her life, but overall it wasn't her area of expertise.
"A Martini." He told her.
She took a sip of the Martini and suddenly her eyes lit up. "Oh! I like this!" She exclaimed.
"You want another one?" Lyon offered.
Juvia took him up on his offer. She downed another one. And another. Before she knew, both were straight up drunk.
"Oh! Lyon I've never had this kind of drink before! It's AMAZING!" She yelled out, a little too loudly. People all over the place were staring at the drunk girl. Lyon, who was a little better at handling alcohol, was slightly embarrassed at her. Before even finishing the cocktail she had in hand, she was already begging for another drink, nearly desperately.
"Juvia wants another."
"Uh…. if I keep paying for your drinks like this, I'll end up flat broke." He explained, looking through his wallet.
"Juvia wants *hic* another drink!"
"Juvia chan sweetheart…. you're a little drunk." He remarked, laughing at her demanding behavior.
"She *hic* doesn't care!" She slurred.
The blunette looked over to the silver haired mage sitting beside her, drink in hand. He was looking gorgeous.
"Wow, you look so good." She said, eyeing him from head to toe. His masculine body suddenly looked very tempting to her.
"Thanks! I'd say the same, but I think you already know what my opinion of you is." He grinned.
"Lyon -Sama! *hic* Let's get out of here! I want to go somewhere with you!" She took him by the hand and stood up. Her face was flushed with drunkeness and she nearly fell over when she got up from her seat.
"Juvia, wait….I don't want want… to do anything just because we're drunk." The ice mage, though slightly buzzed, was still sober enough to recognize the consequences of acting in a drunken state.
"Don't be silly! Juvia's always had a small crush on you. She just didn't want you to get in the way of her and Gray-sama, *hic*, but it's obvious he doesn't want her. She reached out and hugged the other man.
"Lyon-Sama has always been there for Juvia. She wants to repay him!" She proclaimed excitedly.
Lyon wasn't sure what to think. His rival's girl was drunk and her inhibitions were beyond lowered. She was willing to give him a chance, which was what he had only dreamed of. Looking at the giddy girl, he decided it couldn't hurt anything to go out and have fun with her. After all, Gray hadn't claimed her. They weren't dating, and therefore it wasn't wrong of him. This was what he had longed for. He'd never met a girl like Juvia. She opened his eyes up to what it could really be like to have feelings for someone. But all it had like for him so far, was painful.
He smiled lightly. "Alright Let's go."
Several hours into the night, the two had gone all over town doing whatever the hell they wanted. Now, long story short, they had ended up in a hotel room together.
"Lyon-Sama! I'm so excited! Juvia's never had an experience like this!" She was still drunk, and hell, by now he was too. He spent all his money on more drinks, despite the fact that he knew he couldn't afford to blow his money like that.
"Come here, Juvia-chan." Both sitting on the bed facing each other. She moved closer to him and he leaned in to give her a kiss. For a second, it looked that she was having second thoughts. The blunette stared blankly at him but then opened her mouth.
"You know, I've never had somebody who loved me like this. Juvia's sorry she's ignore you the way Gray-sama has ignored her." He didn't know what to say to that, but he didn't have to. The female mage removed her clothes as quicky as possible and he did the same. The two began the process of foreplay.
And the rest she couldn't remember.
All she knew now was that she had made the biggest mistake of her life. As she slowly tore open the package using her teeth, the water mage's heart pounded and she could feel every thud intensely. She felt sick with anxiety knowing that these next few minutes could be life-altering. Finally she freed the cup from the box and the test strips that came with it. Taking a deep breath, she did what she had to, and set the test on the counter as far away from her as possible. There wasn't much evidence of her being pregnant, really, only a missed period. But she had to be sure.
The night with her and Lyon had been a blur, and after that, things went back to normal between the two of them. Juvia realized there was nothing between them, no feelings whatsoever. He had not contacted her since the Magic Games, either, which told her that he either felt the same, or assumed that she didn't want to see him. Either way, she was relieved that he didn't try to take the relationship any further.
The water mage was ashamed of what had happened that night, but she knew that she could blame no one but herself. If she hadn't taken so many drinks to begin with, she would not have done it. Lyon had been drunk too, but she also knew it was cruel to toy with his heart like that. He had wanted her the way she wanted Gray, and yet she had lead him on, like it didn't matter. Drunk of not, she was disgusted at herself for having moved on from Gray so quickly. But the truth was, she still wasn't sure of his feelings.
Gray had no idea what had happened, and she wanted to make sure it stayed like that. But…. if anything had resulted from her night with Lyon, he would have to know.
Juvia sat on top of her sink counter and leaned against the wall, overwhelmed. The bathroom lights were giving her a head ache, which pounded on her along with her heart. It was two in the morning and she hadn't slept at all. She had fought with herself about taking the test, but finally gave in. She had to know. She had to make sure that her missed period did not mean anything. In all of her being, she knew she needed to lift this heavy burden off her chest.
She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It had been half an hour. Surely the test was ready to be read.
Please don't read pregnant…please don't read pregnant…. please.
She finally reached for her test, hands shaking. The suspense was killing her. She slowly took the strip out of the water and opened her eyes to read the results.
The strip showed a hot pink coloration. She quickly tossed the strip in the garbage and remained frozen, from shock.
How could I be pregnant?! Juvia can't be pregnant!
The love sick blunette had waited for this moment for years. After she had met Gray, she had only longed for this moment even more. Every night her head filled with visions of her and the dark haired man as parents, with a beautiful child. A child that was a perfect mesh between the two of them.
And now the vision was tarnished. All she could think of was having a child that belonged to Lyon, and haunted her.
But never, in her wildest dreams did she think she would get pregnant with Lyon's baby. He was his rival and practically his brother. Her desire was to raise a family with someone she loved, not someone she had a mild attraction to. Sure, he was a good man, but not her true love.
She hated herself for it, but now she was starting to despise him, for what he did to her. She had a baby on the way, and it wasn't Gray's. She would be a mother, but to someone else's child. Deep down , she knew it wasn't his fault. She had to admit though, if he didn't exist this never would've happened.
What are you thinking Juvia?! This is not Lyon's fault. He was caught up in the moment too.
What did she expect anyways? That he would turn down the person that he had been crazy for? Juvia wondered what she would do if the same had happened to her with Gray.
Although, having absolutely no motivation, she walked over to the guild reluctantly. What she really wanted to do was curl up under covers and not come out, but she didn't want to draw any one's attention. With Fairy Tail, it was impossible not to stir suspicion in her absence. Still, each step felt like a mile to her and suddenly, the two mile walk became ten. Each movement was robotic because she was going to guild almost against her own will.
Before she knew it, she standing in front of Fairy Tail. As she stood there afraid to go in, she heard her long haired best friend call to her.
"What are ya doin stupid? Why are you standing there like a fuckin idiot!?" Gajeel teased her, approaching her from behind.
"Oh, yeah she was just thinking about something." She snapped out of her daze.
"I bet it's that stripper bastard, but whatever, I'm outta here. You can stand there like a retard if you want." He said before entering the guild.
"I'm coming Gajeel-kun." She took one last deep breath and walked in. Gray sitting at his usual table. She didn't know how she was going to tell him, but one thing she did know, was that her life would never be the same.
It was about to make a U-turn, and fast.
If people hate this, please tell me. I don't want to continue a story that is a dud, although I will be sad :(
