Authors Note- Yeah, I know I just recently posted the first chapter of A Princess And Her Knight recently. But this one was bouncing around in my poor skull and would not leave me alone so here it is. I also noticed there wasn't very many Luvia (Juvia/Lucy) fanfics floating around to I decided to remedy that.
As you know I don't own Fairy Tail it belongs to Hiro Mashima. I only own the plot. So with out further ado here is Chapter 1 of The Sea And The Stars.
Chapter One: A Night Out
It was loud. Too loud, and crowded, people as far as the eye could see. And yet here she was sitting at the bar after being dragged out by none other than Lucy Heartfilia. And here Juvia was looking forward to a night alone, maybe doing some reading. She was never one for all this noise and social interaction, courtesy of her rather lonesome up bringing. And yet Lucy had begged Juvia to come, the rain woman had been powerless to say no to the celestial wizard.
Those deep brown eyes shimmering with excitement as she clapped her hands together, and immediately offered to help her find a cute outfit she could wear for the outing. After what seemed like forever Lucy had discovered a cute pale blue spaghetti strap dress, and knee high black boots that Juvia had no idea had come from. But she didn't really protest when Lucy quickly shoved them into her arms, and ushered her towards her bathroom.
Complying with her friends request Juvia wracked her brain for a good reason she would want to spend with Lucy, when she realized exactly why.
"Juvia? Hey, Juvia!" A voice called out to her, breaking her out of her thoughts. Feeling a warm hand on her shoulder she looked up to see Lucy looking down at her, concern shining in her eyes. "Are you okay?"
Nodding Juvia looked back down at her drink, the strange amber liquid staring back.
"You've been spacing out for a while now." Lucy commented.
Forcing herself to meet Lucy's gaze Juvia mustered a smile. "I'm sorry, I guess I'm just not too comfortable here." She told her, before taking a sip of the drink, which Lucy had noted had been her fourth drink.
Easing down in the seat next to her Lucy looked to the woman next to her. Taking in her wavy blue hair that cascaded down her shoulders and back. To those deep blue eyes she had always admired whenever she was with her. Feeling a faint smile creep to her lips Lucy rested her head on her hand. Though she would never admit it to anyone she found the rain woman drop dead gorgeous.
Sure, she had been a little apprehensive about her when she had first met her. But over time she had come to see her as one of her closest friends. Watching as Juvia downed the rest of her drink, she worried at the bottom on her lip.
"Do you want to go home?" Lucy asked, sounding concerned. "If you're not too comfortable there's no point forcing you to stay here. I'll even walk you home." She offered.
Shaking her head Juvia shoved the empty glass away from her. "No, I'll stay." Juvia said, as she got to her feet. Standing up Lucy gave Juvia another unsure look before following her gaze to the dance floor.
Seeing Cana, Erza, Lisanna, and Levy tearing it up. Seeing Lucy's questioning gaze Levy waved the two of them over. Smiling Juvia watched as Lucy waved at the Solid Script wizard, before grabbing a hold of Juvia's hand, and guided her towards the dance floor. Once reaching the dance floor Juvia watched as Lucy somehow managed to dance gracefully on the already crowded dance floor. While she stood off to the side.
Watching as she continued to move as Juvia's eyes roamed over her body, her thoughts going back to when they had first met, when she had been ordered to retrieve Lucy for Phantom Lord. From the moment she had laid eyes on Lucy she found herself infatuated with her. Wanting nothing but to keep her for herself, to keep her safe and to cherish.
However when her Fairy Tail friends had come to her aid she knew that was not to be as she lay beaten and bloody before Gray Fullbuster. But despite this she had been happy to know that Lucy wouldn't be in the clutches of Phantom Lord, to never be abused by Master Jose and Gajeel anymore. And to be honest Juvia could swear she could still taste the tears she had shed when she had thought she would never lay eyes on the beautiful celestial wizard.
That was until she joined Fairy Tail herself, and despite what had transpired between the two guilds she had welcomed Juvia with open arms. Something that had made Juvia's heart swell even more. And now she was here, and after all they had been through together, from saving Erza from being sacrificed by Jellal.
To fighting against Laxus and the Thunder Legion when he had tried to take over the guild. Juvia had to wonder what would await them in the future. Shaking her head furiously Juvia felt a smile creep to her face, as Lucy lead her further on to the dance floor, and urged her to dance. Seeing on other choice Juvia danced with the other woman.
Little did they know that they were drawing attention of their friends. Cana smiled as she watched them before looking to Erza. A knowing look on the red heads face. The two of them wondering if either woman would ever be brave enough to make the first move.
In fact the two of them knew that there was a little bet going on around the guild about which woman was going confess first. Erza, however was voting for Lucy to confess first. Knowing how often the celestial wizard had talked non-stop about Juvia on the jobs Team Natsu would take.
When Lucy would talk about Juvia, she would notice the faint blush that would dust her cheeks. A dreamy look in her eyes. What was even more amusing to Erza was the exaggerated looks Gray would give her whenever she mentioned Juvia. Shaking her head she turned away from the group to get more drinks.
A few hours and several drinks later:
She had drank way more than she had intended to Juvia thought as she leaned heavily on a very giggly Lucy as she tried to maintain a conversation with the equally drunk Levy, who managed to remain standing, stumbling only a little bit.
"Maaaaaan, you know what I am saying." Lucy slurred, forcing another string of giggles from Levy, as they continued to talk about something Juvia had no idea what. She was having a really hard time focusing on anything but the warmth of Lucy, of the faint scent of honey and vanilla that emanated from Lucy that made her want to lean in, and inhale deeply.
"Admit it, Levy you want Gajeel's steel rod in you. Don't you lie either you practically have the words 'I wanna screw Gajeel Redfox' in solid script about your head." Lucy told her.
"I do?" Levy asked, as she struggled to look up, as if to see the very words Lucy said above her head.
"No! Not literally I'm just...saying..."
"Say it any louder." Erza warned as several people passed them, some of them giving the girls a questioning look as they walked by. "And I'm sure poor Levy's secret will be all over Magnolia."
Blinking a few times Lucy flushed a deep red. "O-oh, I'm sorry." Lucy apologized to the Solid Script wizard, who merely waved her off.
"Ah, don't worry about it, Lu." Levy told her. "I know you meant nothing by it."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lucy gave the blue haired a smile when they finally reached Fairy Hills.
"Ah, home sweet home." Levy said with a yawn, as they reached her room, after bidding the rest of them a good night she entered her room.
"Since it's quite obvious that there is no way you're going to make it home with out ending up face down in some alley way I'm going to walk you home." Erza told Lucy.
"That sounds like a good idea. Though let me take Juvia to her room first." Lucy told her, as she lead the unstable Juvia back to her room, once finally reaching the rain woman's room she stood in of the door.
"Alright, Juvia here we are." Lucy told her, as the woman in question rummaged for her keys, before finally finding them, and going through the difficult process of trying to unlock her door.
Taking pity on her Lucy took the keys from her, and unlocked the door. Opening the door Lucy lead Juvia towards the bed after helping her get dressed in her pajamas. Finding a simple, plain blue night gown carelessly tossed to the floor she grabbed it before guiding Juvia towards her bathroom.
Thankfully Juvia was able to get dressed with no real difficulties as she stepped out of the bathroom, the night gown barely reaching Juvia's knees, giving Lucy a perfect view of her smooth thighs. Realizing that she was staring Lucy tore her gaze away from them to meet Juvia's gaze.
"I want to thank you for inviting me out tonight, even though I wasn't the most sociable person to be around." Juvia said.
Lucy shook her head, and moved to help her towards her bed. "Think nothing of it, besides I had a good time with you." Easing Juvia down on to her bed she gave her a small smile and pushed Juvia's hair out of her eyes.
"And Lucy..." Juvia added, grabbing a hold of Lucy's arm. "One more thing."
"What is it?" Lucy asked.
Suddenly Juvia yanked Lucy down, and pressed her lips firmly to hers, catching Lucy completely off guard. After what seemed like forever Juvia pulled away from her before collapsing on her bed, exhaustion over taking her.
Blinking in surprise Lucy gingerly touched her fingers to her lips. Still feeling Juvia's lips pressed against them as she left the room.
Why did she?... Lucy thought, as she met up with Erza again, allowing the red head to lead her back home. If Erza had tried to make conversation Lucy didn't hear it, her thoughts going back to the kiss she had just shared with Juvia. Wondering what exactly it had meant.
"Well, we're here." Erza spoke, breaking through Lucy's thoughts. Blinking a few times Lucy looked to Erza, before realizing what Erza had meant. They had been standing outside Lucy's home for a few minutes, while Lucy stood there in a daze.
"Oh, uh, thanks for walking me home." She said, as she unlocked her door, and stepped in after wishing Erza a good night. Climbing up the stairs she entered her room. Exhaustion gripping her further, as she undressed, not bothering to change into any night wear she crawled into bed, and quickly drifted to sleep.
Thoughts of Juvia and the kiss they shared floating through her mind.
