Drabbles Ala' Gruvia

Witness Protection Program

*This was an AU request from Tumblr


Gray wasn't sure what he expected to see when he opened the door, but it wasn't the blue haired woman that stood in front of him.

This wasn't his first go-around with the witness protection program; Erza and Gajeel had pawned off a few different witnesses on him while they awaited final placement. All of them had been skittish, frightened, and wholly unassuming. They stayed in their part of the house, and Gray made sure no one tried to kill them. It was simple.

This wasn't.

First, the girl was beautiful and unique in every way– bright blue hair, slim yet voluptuous figure, and a pair of hauntingly lost eyes. It was as if happiness had never been in her life, and Gray wondered just what she was hiding from. Had it taken away that much from her?

She blushed as soon as she turned and saw him, her eyes downcast.

Maybe it hadn't taken everything.

"Ahh–! Um, Juvia is…" she fumbled with her bag before glancing toward him once more. "Juvia was sent here by Erza-san."

"I know."

Wow. Smooth.

This was going to be a long week.
