So I just found out it is Gruvia week and I am very excited to write for it. It took me a good couple of hours to write for the prompt (Ambiguous) and I am somewhat happy with the outcome. I went with the idea of Juvia being confused by Gray's words in Crocus to Lyon, which were "Don't go taking what's mine! I hope you all enjoy. Please Review and favorite, I get giddy when I see a review!
Gray sat in his usual seat, drinking his usual iced water on a usual day at Fairy Tail. His friends were doing their usual thing; Natsu being an idiot as usual, Lucy being a prima donna as usual, Erza keeping people in line as usual, hell even Happy was saying "Aye sir!" as often as was usual. Everyone was being their same old usual selves. Yes, everyone was being as usual as ever and yet for some reason Gray himself felt unusual. Something was bugging him and yet he could not put one icy finger on what it was. His thoughts were broken when he felt a gentle poke on his shoulder, he looked up and there was Mirajane standing behind the bar with a big smile.
"What's wrong Gray? Out of everyone here, you're the least chilled out." She asked in her melodious voice.
"Oh hey Mira, I'm not sure to be honest, something is just nagging at me." Gray replied, sighing.
"Could it be that the reason you feel that way is because something isn't nagging at you?" She gave a knowing smile.
"What on earth are you talking about Mira?" asked a semi-indignant Gray.
"Nothing, nothing," she giggled, "on another note, do you know where Juvia is?"
Gray eyed her for a second then he realised that she was teasing him.
"Whatever, I'm heading home. Have a nice day Mira." And with that he walked out the door of Fairy Tail.
Shedding his jacket unconsciously, Gray wandered the streets of Magnolia desperately trying to find something to do. Why did today have to feel so dull? More importantly why did he feel the same nagging feeling as before? He knew what it was that Mira was hinting at but that couldn't be it, he knew this wasn't because Juvia wasn't around. Stupid Mira putting ideas into my head, he thought, ticked that she had started this thought process. It's not that he didn't like Juvia; it was simply that he didn't know what he thought about the blue haired girl. Sure she was gorgeous with long blue hair, deep, beautiful eyes and a pair of breasts to die for but Gray wasn't so keen on the idea of her stalking and how she put him on a pedestal. He was a normal guy and he didn't like to be treated as higher.
"Gray-sama!" it was as if his thoughts had summoned her.
"Juvia?" he turned around to see her running towards him in a pair of dark blue short-shorts and a powder-blue tank top.
… Bouncy… he thought before she latched onto his arm. Then he noticed the looks on every males face and felt a pang of anger. One asshole even had the gall to wolf whistle at her. Gray untangled his arm from her and walked up to the bastard, slamming his fist as hard as he possibly could into his now broken face.
"Don't go perving on what's mine!" He shouted, loud enough so that all the males in the vicinity could hear him and thanks to his little display, they all found the ground, walls, the sky, and trees much more interesting. To put further emphasis on what he had just said, he put his arm around her waist and pulled her very close, to her drooling delight, before hurrying her off to somewhere secluded.
"Juvia what are you wearing?" he asked through his teeth, the whole time he held her close her very large assets were pushed against his side.
"Gray-sama does not like it? Cana-san said that this would make you hot for me." She said, almost too innocently. Of course Cana would have had something to do with this.
"It's not that I don't like it," his face turning very red, "it's that other people like it a lot, specifically other males."
"Oh! Is that why Gray-sama said "Don't go perving on what's mine!"?" She imitated his voice hilariously. He looked away further and she continued.
"By the way Gray-sama, why did you say that again?" She was biting her lower lip adorably and he was confused.
"What do you mean again? I haven't said that before." She looked dejected.
"Juvia understands, sorry Gray-sama." She turned around and walked away, her eyes watering up. She was about to let those tears fall when he felt his hand close around her wrist.
"Juvia, tell me what's wrong." It wasn't a question, it was a command.
"Gray-sama wouldn't understand, it's stupid."
"Juvia, I want to know."
"Fine, if Gray-sama must know, when we were in Crocus and Lyon interrupted us when we were about to go and eat by dragging me away, you said don't go taking away what's mine. Juvia didn't know what you meant, but she hoped, Gray-sama, she hoped that it meant maybe you were starting to feel like she was feeling. When you became protective of Juvia today and told that guy not to go perving on what is yours, Juvia felt so happy that you wanted to be protective of her and even possessive of her. Saying that she was yours made her so happy… but if Gray-sama doesn't remember then maybe it isn't true."
"Juvia…"
"No, Gray-sama, it was Juvia's fault for getting the wrong meaning from what you said. Juvia is sorry, please let go of her wrist."
But he didn't. Instead he pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her possessively. She shuddered and leaned into his hug, ecstatic that she got to be so close to her beloved Gray.
"Juvia, listen, I'm not great with expressing my feelings or anything like that, not nearly as adept at it as you are but I will admit that when Lyon stole you away I felt jealous, extremely jealous, and not just because we have a childhood rivalry, I would have felt that way if it were anyone. And when that pervert wolf whistled at you I felt enraged. You always look really beautiful but in those shorts that show off your amazing legs and that top that shows off your bust, well you look really sexy and you can easily attract the wrong kind of guy. I know it's not my place but I hate when guys look at you like they did."
"Gray-sama is possessive of Juvia?"
"Yeah, I guess I am."
"Does that mean Gray-sama likes Juvia?"
"I don't know, honestly, but I do feel something for you. Will you give me some time to think about it?"
"Yes, Juvia will give Gray-sama all the time he needs."
Well I hope you all enjoyed the read, I'm glad I get to write for Gruvia this year as I only started Fairy Tail late last year. As always I really appreciate reviews and favorites, they make me giddy.
Thanks,
