Memory
Juvia
AU: Some memories come in color and others come in black and white.
Sometimes they come back to you in pieces.
Broken bits of a beautiful memory destroyed by present distractions.
First Encounters
Juvia remembers the first time she meet Gray. That memory is vivid and brightly colored. The clash wasn't exactly happy. They meet on different sides of the battle field. Juvia remembers a lot of rain. Rain that she caused. This was back when Juvia's rain never stopped, but then she met Gray and it stopped. The way he talked about his nakama, with an unwavering spirit, was something Juvia did not come in contact with. Maybe that's why she loves him so much. She did not want to fight Gray, but Juvia had no choice, he was the enemy and they were in the middle of a war. At first Gray was like the others, and then he wasn't. Juvia saw the sky. It was beautiful.
Tenrou Island
Juvia's memory of fighting against Meldy comes in pale colors, almost as if they were washed out, but still extremely vivid. She remembers the threats of Meldy wanting to kill Gray-sama. Juvia would never let that happen. Not if she can help prevent it. The love Juvia felt for Gray-sama was enough to overcome the fierce battle that was at play. Juvia would never give up, not if it meant Gray's death. Juvia had not known Gray-sama for very long, but she knew that he was worth fighting for. Juvia remembers the body link magic Meldy used. She connected Juvia to Gray-sama. Beautiful, beautiful Gray-sama. Juvia had to hurt herself, which also hurt Gray, to win the battle. Meldy was understanding. She wanted to be loved too. Juvia understood that. She wants Gray-sama to love her too.
Grand Magic Games
Juvia and Gray-sama fought on the same side of the battle this time. The memory of them fighting together is brighter than Tenrou's memory, but not as vivid. It was blurry in some parts. She remembers Gray-sama's words. They echo loudly in her mind. "We can work together better than them." Gray tells Juvia. Juvia is so happy that Gray-sama has noticed their teamwork is strong together. Juvia knows that Lyon and Chelia fought hard and bravely, but they were no match for Juvia and Gray. For Gray and Juvia's love is strong. Even if Gray cannot see it.
Eclipse Gate
Juvia remembers this day in pieces. Parts of the battle is fuzzy and filled with heartbreaking pain.
Gray-sama and Juvia fought together against the dragon attacks. The dragons were everywhere. Most of the town was in shambles. Juvia remembers the fear, the painful cries of everyone fighting, the roars of the dragons, and the shock of devastation. Seven dragons. Seven dragon slayers. For the longest time in the battle, Juvia remembers defeat.
Juvia remembers feeling broken, no devastated. Someone died, Juvia cannot remember who or why. She only remembers the feeling that came with it.
Tartaros
Juvia's memories of this day are in black and white. The day Juvia killed Gray-sama's father. That day the battle was more horrible than anything Fairy Tail and Juvia had encountered, up to that day. She remembers Gray's father's words as he spoke to her. In order to stop FACE, Juvia has to destroy Keyes. Which would ultimately kill Gray-sama's father. Juvia had to make a choice. Destroy the world or destroy the one she loves.
Juvia confronted Gray-sama afterwards to confess to him that she killed his father. Gray-sama said she was warm. That memory shines with a silvery light.
Death
Gray was always pushing Juvia away romantically, but he did not mind being friends with Juvia. Juvia remembers his death in a way no one want to remember. It was raining that day. Juvia was not the cause of this rain. Juvia and Gray-sama were on a mission. The battle was overwhelmingly difficult. There were too many people and Juvia and Gray were low on magic power. They escaped, but Gray was far too wounded to go long distances. He was dying and it was raining. Juvia acted too late. Gray's death was her fault. Juvia hates the rain.
Present
How tragic, that they meet on opposite sides of the battle. How sad that he could not see that she loves him. Juvia's always loved him, the boy with ice in his soul. Ice is, after all, another form of water.
A/N: It's Gruvia Week! Credits to Gruviaweek on Tumblr for creating the themes for each day. Today's, April 1st, is Memory. I hope that meant that it could also be more than one memory, I don't know all the details I don't have a tumblr and it's block at my house. But I will try my best to fit each theme, to the best of my abilities. Anyways, hope you enjoy this!
