Hi there, this is my first fanfiction so please be nice. It's a JuviaXGray (Gruvia) fic so if you don't like that ship, I don't think you'd want to read this.

It was inspired by The Cab's song, Temporary Bliss.

I can't keep sleeping in your bed if you keep messing with my head,

I can't keep feeling love like this, it's not worth temporary bliss.

The moon was illuminating the streets of Magnolia as the blue-haired mage made her way to Gray's house. Her heart was thumping in her chest and butterflies had invaded her stomach, she had the same feeling whenever she knew she'd see her Gray-sama.

It was her who had - somewhat jokingly - suggested the idea of becoming 'friends with benefits' to Gray a few months ago and surprisingly, he'd agreed, not knowing that Juvia wasn't completely serious. She wanted a proper relationship with him but if this was the closest she could get to it, she would wholeheartedly agree to the arrangement, no matter how painful it was.

She reached his place and knocked on his door. He opened it, inviting her in, his passive, cool expression always on his face, unlike her flustered, red one.

"Hey Juvia," he greeted, leading her to his living room.

"H-Hi Gray-sama."

"You want something to-"

She cut him off with a kiss, she didn't want the small-talk, it would just make it even more painful. It would make her think that they were a proper couple if he did that.

His lips were cold and smooth, Juvia had no idea how she got them so soft, nor did she know why her would ever want to kiss her when her lips were so rough and unused.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling at the dark hair at the nape of his neck. He groaned and squeezed her waist, making her giggle. He took of her hat and coat, his shirt had already disappeared somehow...

Before Juvia could build up that thought any more, she felt nibble on her bottom lip. She gasped and felt him grin against her lips. She smiled internally, opening her mouth and letting his tongue enter her mouth. The cold of his tongue in her warm mouth never failed to surprise her, nor fail to draw a sigh from her.

He went back to sweet, closed mouthed kisses and her eyes fluttered closed. If Gray-sama and Juvia were a couple, they'd be able to kiss like this all the time. Her mind went off on its own, like it usually did, thinking up impossible situations, her and Gray walking into the guild, hand in hand, watching the surprised look cross her love rival's face.

"Juvia," Gray whispered, snapping her out of her daydreams. Juvia needs to get out of here.

She broke the kiss and took a few steps away."J-Juvia is s-sorry Gray-sama, but Juvia must go."

"What? Why?" Gray looked confused.

Because this is starting to make Juvia think forbidden thoughts, impossible thoughts. "Juvia is sorry," she apologised, putting her hat and coat back on hurriedly and rushing out the apartment.

"Juvia!" she heard him call. She ignored it and ran as far from Gray as she could. She let the tears and the pouring rain fall, thinking about all the things that could never happen, that would never happen.

All because they were just friends with benefits, and everything they did was only temporary
