Promise
Very short story that has no definite setting. Juvia speaks in first person here… I hope you enjoy!
Summary: Gray is dying in her arms, and all she can do is to give him promises.
Juvia saw it all.
It was supposed to be her, but he came out of nowhere.
A beam of magic power pierced through her beloved.
His limp body slammed to the ground, a pool of crimson surrounding him.
"Gray!"
Panic rose inside her as she rushed to his side.
She saw how Gray's face started to pale and his warmth was fading.
"Please wake up Gray… don't leave me..." She tried to coax him. But he seemed to be slipping away.
Countless tears streaming down her face. She's never felt so helpless.
"Please, Gray. I promise I'll do anything… just live!"
And so her ramblings begun…
"I promise I'll never bother you anymore…
If you don't like my presents, I'll keep them away…
If I annoy you with my hugs and affection, I'll stop…
If you push me away, I'll keep my distance…
If you don't love me... it's okay…"
The last words came out almost like a whisper, and she felt her heart breaking with every promises.
"I'll do anything... just please don't die on me! I love you so much, Gray…please!
"And I love you too..."
Her eyes shot open with those words… his words.
"Gray…"
"So quit saying all that crap because I won't let you!" His words angry…and hurt.
He was wincing in pain but Juvia could see that he had stopped bleeding. The blood from his wound now frozen.
"As long as you're with me, I promise I won't die…" His words now gentle as he caressed her cheek with his hand and looked straight to her eyes.
"Promise me…that you won't stop loving me."
Juvia nodded and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips before saying…
"I promise."
The End.
Thanks for reading…hope you liked it.
