A/N: Okay, I am actually a huge Juvia fan, and shipping Gruvia too. But I'm a weird shipper that almost ship all pairings. And well, Grayza is my second pairing for Gray, and this idea just came out, so I decide to write it down. Enjoy!


Erza walked in the guild, massaging her forehead in the process. The noisy guild had already started their rowdy ritual early in the morning. Any other day, Erza would have snapped and slashed her sword to silence them, but her headache at the moment is definitely not helping. She headed towards the bar, asking a glass of lemonade from Mira.

Mira served the order with her smile as usual. "Is something the matter? You don't look well."

"Severe hang over. A very severe one," was Erza's reply as she continued massaging her forehead. Mira thought there was a tinge of pinkish discoloration over Erza's cheeks, but it was probably due to the alcohol itself.

"You drunk too much last night. How did you get home even?" Mira said as she starts cleaning some mugs.

Erza's head ducked lower, making it impossible for Mira to see her face. She silently picked the lemonade and sipped gracefully. A soft sigh escaped her lips when the cool feeling of lemonade pampered her wretched throat. Just then the guild doors opened, Erza picked up her head to watch her raven haired team mate walking in.

"Gray-sama! You look amazing today!" Juvia pranced towards him, greeting with a pair of heart shaped eyes.

Gray grimaced. "Juvia, I didn't even comb my hair."

"But you do look wonderful!"

Mira chuckled at the water mage's antics. "Juvia just won't give up, don't you think?"

Erza stared at the couple. For a moment, she did thought that Gray and Juvia look good together. Almost the whole guild thought they would end up well. Gray just needed to take his time to allow himself to fall in love. Then why did she felt a pang inside her heart? Now Erza is no fool. She knows she felt jealous. Why? Because they can have a carefree love life. Yes. Gray may fall for Juvia, and they would get married, then have children together. She and Jellal will never have that leisure. That jealousy. Yes, that type of jealousy. Juvia is her nakama. And that was a very healthy jealousy. Erza would deny every fact like how she woke up this morning, not in her room but a certain ice mage's room, besides a very naked Gray Fullbuster.

Now, seeing Gray naked is not a rare occasion. The whole guild had already seen him naked a few times, mostly when he unconsciously stripped all the way down. But having her inside his room together, and her completely naked as well... Well, putting two and two together, it's not that hard to guess what happened between them last night. But Erza wanted to believe it was just a moment of mistake. She was a virgin, and she didn't want to believe her first time was a drunken night, with her own team mate.

It was a dream.

"Erza, we need to talk," Gray called out to her with Juvia following behind him giving a questioning look. Erza stared at Juvia for a while, before shifting her gaze back to Gray.

"Maybe later, Gray. I have a very important discussion with Master Makarov now," it took Erza every ounce of her will power behind her armor to actually act like nothing happened. It proved hard, especially when she can still feel the delicious soreness between her thighs.

"What? But..."

"It's urgent, Gray," Erza interrupted before Gray could, picking herself up from the stool and made her way upstairs. Gray scoffed, running his hand roughly through his spiky hair, watching Erza's retreating back.

"What's the matter, Gray-sama?" Juvia asked, quietly peeking from Gray's shoulder. She wasn't that dense not to notice the tension between her scarlet haired guild mate and the love of her life.

"Nothing," Gray sighed dejectedly. He really wanted to talk about last night. When he woke up this morning, he noticed Erza getting up from his messy bed, naked. The smell of their previous nocturnal activity was reeking his nose and it didn't take much for Gray to realize what they did after the party at their guild. He was trying to talk something to his team mate, but Erza had told him that nothing had happened, before she requipped and practically jumped out of his room. She was too fast. Leaving Gray very frustrated about the whole idea of him sleeping with the scarlet knight.

"Gray!" Lucy greeted right when she stepped into the guild. "Good morning! Have you pick a mission for today?"

"No, Lucy, this bastard doesn't know how to pick a mission! The last time he picked one, it was a very lewd seduction mission! Let me pick!" Natsu complained.

"At least I could use my charm and the mission is over with! You're going to pick a mission that involves destroying everything, Natsu!" Lucy disagreed. "I don't have any more leisure to entertain your hot blooded head!"

"That pervert does too!" Natsu defended himself. "Actually Erza is worse, but still!"

"Aye!" Happy cheered.

Any other day, Gray would have jumped in and start a fight with the pink haired dragon slayer. Unfortunately, today is not any other day. Today is the day that he had woken up, after having a good night of sex with his hot team mate – oh fuck yeah, he could feel it everywhere – just to have her ignore him moments after. Nope. Gray is definitely not in that mood.

He promptly waved his hand dismissively. "I'm not going for a mission today. You guys can go ahead without me," he said, climbing on the stool as her ordered a glass of beer.

"What? You won't? Why?" Lucy whined.

Juvia had stared at Gray's back. This is definitely not Gray. She knew her Gray-sama. That guy never backs off from challenges, especially not a fight with Natsu.

Natsu and Lucy made a few more loud complaints woven with Gray's groans before the two made their way to the request board. Juvia took the chance to sit besides Gray, glancing at him through the corner of her eyes.

"Don't," Gray said. "Do not get into my head right now, Juvia. I'm serious, or it won't be pretty."

Juvia shook her head. "Juvia will wait," she barely whispered. "Juvia will wait until Gray-sama open up."

That piqued Gray's attention. It was a soft whisper, but hell, she was sitting just beside him, he could definitely hear that. He propped his chin on his palm, facing the blunette. "What if I won't? Don't expect too much from me, Juvia." Don't even expect anything. I'm not the man you've been waiting for.

"You will. Juvia trusts Gray-sama," Juvia smiled brightly. Her blue eyes boring into Gray's, and in that moment, Gray felt as if he had cheated on her. Did he? Cheated on what?

Gray tore his eyes from her, running away from his own monologue. His hand snatched the bubbling beer mug in front of him and gulped down the content. He needed that. For now, he does. Later, he will encounter his heart and ask again. Maybe next time, he will find the answer.


Erza slammed the guild's library door close. Oh shit. She exhaled sharply as she slid down the wall. It felt so weird. She felt dirty. It felt as if everyone knows she just lost her virginity to Gray. Every eyes looking her way felt suspicious. Erza cupped her face, feeling the heat traveling up her head. Shit, shit, shit. This is not happening. She needed something to undo this – which is impossible. Then a thought occurred to her. How the hell is she supposed to face Jellal later?

She had pledged herself for Jellal since years ago, and just with that one drunken mistake, she broke her lifetime promise. Erza was not on her best emotional state at the moment. This is not happening! She summoned a sword and plunged it deep into the floor, burying her immense wrath with it. She breathed heavily.

"Erza?"

Her head snapped. Damn it! Someone was here? Her eyes caught the sight of a petite blunette, wearing a pair of spectacles with a book in her hand. Levi. Erza snorted. Of course. Who else would be in the library very early in the morning?

"Oh, Levi," Erza tried her best to greet her guild mate. Did she knew? Did she sense anything weird from her? Did she walk differently? Levi is smart, did she found out about what happened last night?

"What's with the sword?" Levi gave out a nervous chuckle. But in Erza's current state of mind, she looked like she was smirking.

Oh shit, she knew.

"We didn't do anything!" Erza ended up running off from her.

Levi cocked her head aside with a confused expression.

Erza panted heavily after running through the guild. She studied her surroundings and realized she was already outside. She dragged her feet along the street when she reached the Magnolia's cake shop.

"Erza-san? You look so down today!" the owner called up.

Erza looked up and catch the glimpse of the cakes that were displayed. Ah, cakes are always an escapee. Erza walked towards the owner, giving him a smile she always had.

"You're buying some cake again?"

Erza pondered for a while. "Actually, can I stay and eat here? I have an important document Master asked my to finish, and I can't concentrate at the noisy guild." Or rather, she can't concentrate around Gray. She was well aware all she needed was a word – or a shout, in Erza's case – to get the guild quiet. But she knew that wasn't the problem. She's just not ready.


Gray is pissed. Very very pissed. Natsu, Happy, Lucy, Wendy and Carla had just returned from their mission a few days ago, and for that few days, he had not seen Erza – not even once. Where the hell was she? Was she avoiding him? This is not good. Definitely not good.

He is going to see her today and talk. By all means.

"Mira, did you see Erza?" Gray asked the resident bartender.

"She was here to pick some documents for the assignment Master gave her but she left right after. Why?" Mira answered.

"Assignment?" Gray's eyebrows rose. Was she busy? She probably wasn't avoiding him but was just plain busy? There was a slight relief washing into Gray as he heard this.

"Yeah," Mira nodded before adding. "But funny, she never went out to finish an assignment before. I don't understand why she has to do it outside."

Or maybe not.

"Thanks Mira," Really thanks. And with that, Gray stomped out of the guild, leaving Mira confused.

It took Gray approximately three freakin' hours to find Erza before he saw the familiar scarlet hair in armor inside the cake shop, sitting, eating while writing something. Cake shop. Gray snorted. Of course. Why the hell didn't he think of that before. Making his way into the shop, he approached her table from behind.

Erza was deep into her task when she heard someone calling her name. And just when she looked up, she saw a half naked Gray in his boxers standing behind her. She squinted.

"Gray, your clothes."

Gray looked down when he realized he had stripped down to his boxers unconsciously. "Oh shit!" he quickly took out a pair of spare clothes and put them on quickly. Damn, he must have stripped while searching for Erza.

"What are you doing here?" Gray sat in front of her, not bothering to ask permission.

"I'm working," Erza answered, stuffing a spoonful of strawberry cake into her mouth.

There was an awkward silence after that. Neither knew what to say. Okay, maybe they have been awkward alone before. But since that night, it had been much more awkward between them. And Gray decided that he doesn't like it.

"Look, Erza, about that night-"

"How was Juvia, Gray?"

Gray's words died. "What?" Why must she bring out Juvia's topic now?

"How was Juvia?" Erza repeated the question.

Gray carefully leaned back. "She's fine I guess. She's out on a solo mission."

"I see," Erza nodded, her eyes scanning her writings carefully before flipping the pages. "You should have go with her. It's bad leaving a woman alone."

"She didn't ask me to come," Gray shrugged.

"Have you made things clear with her?" Erza asked again, eyes still not meeting Gray's.

Gray paused, taking a good look into Erza's blank expression. Oh yes. Yes. Erza is pushing him away. Damn it. Gray is a smart guy. It's not that hard to know that he was never the king in Erza's armored heart. Since she was a kid up until now, after going through Tower of Heaven and finishing the mission with Orasion Seis, Gray understood the obvious thing indeed – Erza was in love with Jellal. She was and probably always will. And when they returned from Tenrou Island, Gray did notice at one point, Erza and Jellal had disappeared to have an alone time. Heck, they are probably in a relationship.

That thought struck a string in Gray. If they were in a relationship, then that night with him was definitely a mistake. A grave mistake. Oh shit, Jellal's gonna kill him. And he wouldn't fight back because it was definitely his fault. But then again, even if it was kind of blurry, Gray remembered that he wasn't the only one wanting that night. In fact, in between the haziness of his memory, Erza was the one throwing herself to him. He wouldn't dare – even in his unconscious mind – to force Erza, of any girls, into this without her consent.

Then why?

Gray stared at Erza, who was still pretending to be busy with her documents. Swallowing the lump in his throat, he gathered his courage. This is Titania he's facing with. He needed to proceed with caution. But two can still play the game.

"If I make myself clear to Juvia, will you make yourself clear to me?"


Yay! I can't believe I finished the first chapter. I really love Grayza. Their relationship is just so unique, full with trust and support. I wish I could do justice and portray their relationship well in this fic. And yeah, this fic will have a lot of Juvia and Jellal because they are my most favorite characters in Fairy Tail *gets smacked* Okay, okay I was kidding. But the fic will really have a lot of Juvia and Jellal because it's Grayza. In my head-canon, if Grayza will become canon, they will have to deal with Juvia and Jellal one way or another. The story will revolve around that, and their relationship will slowly unfold around the four of them. I haven't decided on the side pairing. That will depend on how the story develop. Thanks for reading! ^^
