I do not own Fairy Tail.

It belongs to Mashima-sama. I'm just a fan trying to make a story about my OTP!

ΩΩΩ

The dark aura that surrounds everything slowly sifted away vanishing in the thin air as all eyes watched the fall of the strongest foe the world has ever known. For a moment everything was silent until the roar and cheers of victorious shout filled the air.

The dark dragon is gone.

Acnologia is defeated.

The war is over.

The tell tale of battle was still evident everywhere but there was a certain calmness and security that surrounds all the mages that fought side by side to defeat the Alvarez's forces and later on the Black Dragon, Acnologia.

Everyone looks like that they just went through hell and Kami knows they did but they all survived it. Many of their comrades have fallen but every guild in Fiore braved the storm of the war and they now relish the fruit of their unified hard work.

They all lose a friend, a family, in the battle but they now face a peaceful future.

Ah, peace!

Single tear trekked down the face of the Fairy Tail's water mage at the thought of the peaceful tomorrow that awaits her with her family in Fairy Tail. Finally all the chaos is over and she's glad to be still standing to witness their victory happened.

An era just ended and she just witnessed history happened right before her very eyes.

Juvia Lockser watched in amazement as everyone celebrated their victory. They just won the battle against the strongest dragon and there's relief and joy in the sea of faces that she could see. But the triumphant face of the man standing beside her is what matter the most for her.

She watched as Gray smiled ear to ear to everyone and cheered as they watched their Dragon Slayer friends made their way to them. He looked so happy and that made her even happier. She's glad he's alive. That alone is enough reason for her to rejoice. She's alive and so is the man she loves.

Time stood still as she stared back in his eyes. The noises of the crowd faded away as she read too many emotions in his dark eyes and she felt like she's watching their life together played in the glimmer of those cobalt blue orbs.

From a distant memory she could remember her old self as the gloomy water mage from Phantom Lord and she's known as Juvia of the Deep. The rain woman who always brought the rain to wherever she goes. She was nothing but a lonely soul and it all changes when she was sent in a mission to capture a blonde fairy and she met that dark haired boy with dark lonely eyes who give no mercy to anyone that crosses his family.

The first time they met Juvia was mesmerized. In her eyes he was so bright. A ray of light in her darkness filled world. She recalled asking him to just hand over Lucy and she'll spare him but he wouldn't be moved and she was so crazy back then to think that maybe he's into the blonde that it enrage her putting Lucy on the top of her love rival list in an instant.

Her heart was full of negativity back then and he was cold. She's fighting her inner self not knowing what to do while fighting him and the next thing she knew she was frozen and losing. Her rain gone and the sun shining down on her. Gray did not let her fall to her death that day but he made her fall in love with him.

The Phantom Lord was disbanded after their attack to Fairy Tail leaving Juvia an independent mage which made it possible for her to stalk Gray wherever he goes not knowing how to approach him and tell him that he made her rain go away and that she's in love with him. That was the case until the incident at the Tower of Heaven happened. She only wanted to talk to him that day and ended up helping him and his friends. He mentioned something about her joining his guild if she wanted too and dear Kami she badly wanted to. At first to be close to him and later on because she found a home at Fairy Tail.

The time she joined the guild she was so nervous to be turned down because of the things she did but Master Makarov welcomed her like a father welcoming home a wayward child that finally came to her senses. Because of Gray she found a family.

Being new was hard especially when you knew you did something bad. She knew other members of the guild doubted her and her intentions and even more so when she had Gajeel joined too. Her they can stand but not him but she stood her ground. She just can't leave her best friend behind. She was so eager to prove that they changed even if it will cost her life so she did what she did at the Battle of Fairy Tail.

In her short time being a Fairy Tail member she witnessed how the guild fights for their comrades and principles. She witnessed firsthand how rowdy her new guildmates can be. She saw how they will fight for what they considered right even if it can cause suspicion and it happened to Gray when everyone thought he chooses to ally himself with Daphne but she never doubted him. She has more faith in him than she has for herself and she was right to believe in him and that's also the time she performed her first Unison Raid they with him. That was the first time she proved to herself that they are the perfect fit for each other. No ice will exist without water.

She's water and he's ice. They are of same element meant to be together.

The only down times for her being a Fairy Tail mage was when she realized that she cannot be with Gray all the time because he already formed a team with his childhood friends and her number one love rival. He usually go on a mission with them and she's always left with no other choice but go on do her own business without him. The first time she was so devastated that she can't be with him was during the events on Edolas. Juvia wanted so bad to meet the Gray from that world who happened to be madly into edo Juvia but she then realized that a Gray who openly express his emotion for her won't be the same as the Gray she loves from their world. Gray won't be Gray if he's not shrieking to her every advances. It hurts she have to admit but it's the way he is and she won't trade anything for him to be exactly as the man she fell in love with.

Gray won't be Gray if he's not stripping all the time, fighting with Natsu, scared of Erza and loves to eat his favourite caramade franks. Juvia serenely smiled at the thought of his favourite food that instantly became her favourite too simply because it's the first meal they shared.

As the newbie she did not expect to be chosen for the S-class promotion test because what she truly wanted that time is to be her beloved Gray's partner but what choice she have? She has to join because she didn't want to disappoint anyone in the guild.

Lot of things happened during the test and one was the unexpected attack on the Tenrou Island wherein they had to fight. From a distant memory she could recall fighting Meredy who linked her to Gray. That fight made her fell a lot of emotion. Elated for being one in emotion with Gray. Angry for Meredy's evil plan for Gray. Worried for the guild. Scared that Gray might get hurt or worse killed and hopeful. Hopeful that maybe, just maybe, Gray shared the same especial feelings for her because they were able to be linked by that ancient magic that Meredy wielded. But she wasn't given the time to think it over because for the first time she saw the terrifying black dragon Acnologia.

Those memories seemed to be so long ago when fro them who had been trapped in the island it's just been less than a year but maybe it's been really so long ago for they lost seven years trapped in Tenrou island. When they came back Fairy Tail no longer holds the glory of being the strongest so they had to fight tooth and nail to gain it once more and the Grand Magic Games was the only way.

Once again she can't fight with Gray but the games had been like a week of a roller coaster ride. More than a few times she made a fool out of herself but she could careless because it's all for Gray. At least at the end of the Games she was able to fight side by side with him and they won.

But fate loves to play with fairies. Just after the games the dragon invasion happened and the most terrifying nightmare happened to her. She witnessed Gray dying for her. She remembered that way too well. Gray pushing her away. The beam of light. The shock in his face. The blood. The pain.

Even how hard she tried that memory won't leave her.

She almost die but Gray save her and if it wasn't for whatever strange magic performed that night she's sure he'll be dead it was because of her.

How many time had she almost die?

A lot and at thank God she's still breathing but during her battle with one of Tartaros' demon she did wish that her life ended. It was during that time she did something she never wanted to do but had no other choice. She caused Gray's pain by ending the life of the demon controlling his dead father. That was the time she almost gave up her feelings for him out of the guilt that consumed her.

Her guilt consumed her but gladly Gray took the incident differently. He was thankful for what she did and when Fairy tail disbanded they decided to stay together with his lame reason that they should stay close so it would be easier for the both of them. Whatever his reasons were she's simply glad he did not just leave her behind.

The life they had together living in a faraway place, just the two of them, those days she spent with him living in that small house she called their home were the happiest days of her life though in her heart she's sad that Fairy Tail disbanded. She just told herself that at least she's still with her love but that too was taken away from her. It started when the black marks started appearing on his skin like dark flames consuming him and then one day he just disappeared without a word leaving her worried for his safety and wondering if he finally got tired of her. She searched for him but always failed to find him and so she decided to just wait that one day he'll come back home to her. She held on that hope.

All the pain she felt when Gray left quickly vanished when she saw him again. She knew she should be angry but she's just too glad to finally see him again that she no longer care for his reasons. Just the fact that he didn't mean to leave her was enough. But the fear of him leaving again remained in deep secluded part of her heart.

They were barely on the start of rebuilding the guild again from the grounds when the news of Master Makarov's abduction came and once again Gray had to leave without her. By that time she should have been used to being left out of his team but still she felt a little sad that she can't be with Gray on times like that because she's not a part of his team. She understands but in the selfish and insecure part of her heart she's pained and scared that she once again left her. She can't help but think all the negative thoughts of him being with Lucy or any other girl but she knew she must endure it. It's for the guild. For their family.

By the time the battle with Alvarez was about to begin Juvia already accepted it to herself that what she had with Gray is something special but might also something that would never be returned. She already decided to accept what Gray can only give until he made that promise to her. His answer after the battle and so her heart was given another hope not knowing what was about to unfold during the war.

As always, Juvia is very much willing to face any enemy for her guild especially if she's fighting with Gray but not when she is fighting against him.

The irony of her feeling sorry for the first when she heard of the story of the bare foot fairy and the cursed boy because Mavis had to fight the man she love was almost comical when she was faced to faced with Gray where they were at the end of magical chain that will only be broken when one of them dies. Funny how fate play with humans. The last thing on earth she will ever do is to hurt Gray and there they are fighting each other to death. But no. No power of anyone on earth may it be demon or god could ever make her hurt him. She'd rather kill herself than hurt him again she swore. And that's just exactly what she did not knowing that it's the same thing he was thinking.

When the chain broke she thought it was the end. She almost lost herself when she saw him lying on the ground covered with his own blood and not moving. Her world halted, her heart froze. She could not accept that it would be the end of the man she love and so she did the only rational thing that came in her mind. She'd rather die saving him than live a life without him. She knew how it will break him but the world will go on without her but Fairy Tail needed him.

Thanks to Wendy she's still alive. But her relief was short live. There were lot of things going on. Enemies were everywhere and the battle turned friends into enemies. Lovers into adversaries. Family against each other. And just when they thought it was over the black dragon appeared.

It was thanks to the unity of all the mages and their faith to one another that save them all. Now it's all over.

Who would have thought that she had already been in a lot of adventures since the first time she met this ice prince who froze and chased away her rain. She only wished to see the sun and feel the warmth of its sunshine and yet Kami gave her this magnificent boy who was caged in his painful past who eventually turned into a man that show her the world beyond her gloomy rain. He gave her not only a man to love but lead her to a family and a life she didn't knew she needed until it came in her.

Juvia was pulled out of her trance when she felt Gray squeezed her hand tightly. Her gaze dropped to their connected hands. She's not aware that he's still holding hands with her. "I wonder what the hell is going on now in that pretty little head of yours," Gray said with a smile. "You have that weird look on your face again but kinda different so it's hard to tell. Care to share it?"

A smile adorned her lips as Juvia blushed. How can Gray manage to look so handsome and adorable even with all his wounds and bruises? "Juvia is just think—" her words falter when her world suddenly spin. She had to shut her eyes to keep herself from falling. She could hear Gray calling her name but her senses were starting to numb and all she can feel is how her strength was draining fast.

It must be her over using her magic taking its toll on her and her injuries making her weak.

"Juvia!"

She willed herself to open her eyes again and to smile and Gray's worried face was the last she saw before her world engulf in darkness like phantoms pulling her into abyss of nothingness her life playing right in front of her once more.

Was she watching herself over and over again because she finally reached the end of her adventures? Was it fate telling her she's now at the end?

ΩΩΩ

So yeah I wrote another story once more when what I should be doing is an update for midnight memories but I just can't help myself. I'd been meaning to write this one since fanfictions about "The Answer" flooded the fandom but I just can't find the right words and the right timing and while I was sitting on my bed about to start writing the chapter 15 of MM since I already laid out a plan for it the other night I just suddenly felt like I must write this right now. I know it was just like retelling everything of what happened and it is definitely not finished because I need to sleep already but I already started the next part. I promise to post it tomorrow whatever happens. For now just tell me what you think of what I did here. And promise this is not angst since hey, GrUvia is canon. I just want to emphasize what they'd been through before they actually happened. Their love is not a spur of the moment thing. It did not happen just because for Juvia it was a love at first sight. What they have had been tested and strengthen by time and ordeals. So yeah I'm done ranting. I'll sleep now and I hope you enjoyed reading and that you'll leave a comment below.

Yours Truly,

P.S

Thank you for reading my one shot Heart Breaker, it was just trying to pour out my emotions and releasing negative emotions and whatsoever. I will be honest. I'd been suffering from writer's block for more than a month now since I'd been too absorb with work that my brain just seemed to stop working when I get home and all I can think about is sleep, sleep and sleep but I'm feeling better now. I finally found a way to get back into writing.
