A/N: So, I saw on tumblr that there was a Gruvia week going on, and, considering I don't have a profile there, I decided to write some short drabbles and post them here. With all that's been going on lately, I hope that at least this week will serve as a form of comfort for all the Gruvia supporters...

I still didn't finish all of the prompts (whoopsie), so I might not have a story prepared for every day, but... I hope you enjoy what I write at least a bit!

Day 1.

Prompt: Hair

Word count: 788

During the rare and unusual times the guild was quiet, members of Fairy Tail spent their day lazing around in the guildhall, thinking about all kinds of things, from regular day-tasks (such as cleaning, or grocery shopping, or picking a mission), over philosophical life questions (especially if the member was someone older, or completely wasted), to some very strange thoughts that would, if the guild was in its usual state, never cross their minds.

And so, considering that Natsu left on a mission with Lucy and Happy, Gajeel still wasn't back from his mission with Pantherlily, and Elfman was stuck with some household duty, Gray, having no one to start a fight with, let his mind wander around. And of course it just had to start thinking about something related to her. Damn it, he really didn't need that. But since he couldn't find any kind of distraction (because nothing seemed to interest him), Gray just sighed and surrendered to his brain, focusing on the object of his intended analysis.

Juvia's hair.

Juvia was currently talking to Mirajane at the bar, after, of course, spending quite some time with Gray. They talked for a long time, but eventually she left to talk to the barmaid, leaving Gray both relieved (her fantasies started appearing again) and frustrated (because of the lack of company, obviously). From where he was sitting, he had a perfect view of her back, and naturally, her hair.

She changed her hairstyle very often, if you asked Gray, but he had to admit that they all suited her. Even that weird hairdo she had when she first joined the guild. It was odd, and very out of the ordinary, but it was very Juvia. But, in his opinion, the way she currently had her hair looked the best. Her long, wavy locks fell perfectly on her back, and they framed her face in just the right way. Sure, the pixie cut she had was cute, too, but long hair made her look more mature, and (though Gray would never, ever say that out loud), more beautiful.

And it would look even better, Gray was sure, if she didn't wear hats all the time. He noticed that she almost always had a hat on her head, and he felt it was a shame. Not that he had anything against them – they had their own charm and Juvia liked them a lot – but he couldn't forget the way she looked during their battle against Lyon and Chelia, when her hair flailed freely as they performed their attack. He was man enough to admit to himself that, at that moment, she looked breathtaking, so others would probably think the same.

… Huh.

Maybe she should keep her hats, after all.

As Juvia shifted in her seat a bit, and a small ray of light coming through the window landed on a part of her hair, Gray noticed another thing – her hair had a unique color. Like the clear skies she loved so much, or maybe the pure water, like her element. He had seen a lot of blue haired people, but her shade was special. Somehow, he had a feeling that he would never forget that shade, no matter what happened. (And he would never forget the shade of her eyes, either – blue as well, but a little darker.)

Gray had been so immersed in his thoughts that he failed to notice the giggles and snickers coming from the other people in the hall. Juvia, however, heard them, and turned around to see the cause of the sudden outbreak of chuckles. When her eyes turned to the direction of Gray's, she immediately blushed, but Gray took a few more seconds to realize he'd been caught red-handed staring at Juvia. He awkwardly coughed, directing his gaze elsewhere, trying to look nonchalant and as if he didn't spend the last few minutes studying the girl who was now walking towards him. Juvia sat at the table with him, offered him a shy smile, and they proceeded to keep each other's company in silence, just enjoying the peaceful moment.

But of course, something like that couldn't last long in Fairy Tail. So when Natsu flew into the guild through the wooden door (breaking them during the process), and Gajeel ran inside after him, knocking several of his guildmates down, and Elfman suddenly appeared yelling that "Fighting is a man!" and started throwing chairs around, Gray (after being hit by one of the chairs), jumped out of his seat, stripping of his shirt along the way, and joined in the fight.

And okay, he was probably grateful that that happened.

Because seriously, he was this close to starting to think about Juvia's smile.
