Just a Dream
Hi guys. This is a one-shot about Gruvia which I got inspired by the song "Just a Dream" by Nelly. This is in Gray's POV and I try to mix some of the lyrics inside ;).In my opinion Juvia seems to be out of character though. But anywaysI hope you'll enjoy this.
We are making breakfast happily in the kitchen. Our children were still sleeping soundly. It was a pleasant morning and it makes me feel happy. Later I am going to teach Joel, my son, ice magic while Juvia is going to teach Crystal, my daughter water magic.
"Honey, I think it is time that I should wake them up." I said, while giving her a kiss on her cheek. Juvia merely smiled, while motioning me to go to their room.
I opened my eyes, it was only just a dream. I was in a hotel room. I heaved a sigh, feeling dull as I had been a few days ago. I picked up my phone on the dresser beside and read a message sent by Lucy a few days ago.
"Gray, are you sure you aren't going to come back? Lyon proposed to Juvia just now and she accepted!"
My heart ached as I read it again and again. When I first read it I almost broke my phone to pieces. I cannot take it! Knowing that Lyon and Juvia are going to be married made me feel…sorrowful.
I went to have breakfast at the cafeteria. As I waited for my food I began reminiscing those times I had with Juvia. I admit that she might be annoying sometimes, but there are times when I felt delighted with her. But now, those times are just like a dream, it felt so real, but when you woke up everything vanished.
Then I remembered the time I made Juvia gave up chasing me.
It happened one week ago, I was walking in the streets with Juvia. We passed a jewelry store and Juvia stopped in her tracks, admiring at a sapphire ring.
"What is it?" I asked.
" Juvia really like to have that ring as her wedding ring." She said dreamily, which is quite adorable in my opinion, " Will Gray-sama buy it for me?"
"No." I replied. I cannot afford it.
I regretted saying that. The next thing I knew, Juvia cried and ran away.
She must have thought that I don't love her. From that moment onwards, she refused to see me, avoided eye contact with me, and kept her distance from me. I thought that she will come back to me soon, so I left the town for a while, hoping that she will be that cheery self again.
But I was wrong, she decided to move on. I had owned a number one spot in her heart, and then she found herself a replacement for that spot when I left the town.
I travelled back down the road, hoping to reach Magnolia as soon as possible. I wondered that if I apologized to her, will she come back? But no one knows the answer, I can only try.
Because I found that I can't live without her.
The moment I reached the streets of Magnolia, I quickly sped to Juvia's apartment, Fairy Hills. I found her sitting in the garden, with a gloomy look on her face. The moment she saw me, I saw surprise in her eyes, but it quickly faded. She tried to left quickly, but I was faster.
"Juvia…." I began, hugging her from behind, "I'm sorry for what I done to you," tells welled up in my eyes and finally I decided to let go of my feelings. I sobbed while maintaining the grip I had on her.
"Gray-sama…" Juvia paused, as if she was thinking. "Juvia….forgives you." She whispered.
As soon as I heard those words, I made myself a promise to treat her better. And all those sorrow, grief, regret I had since a few days ago faded like a dream.
