Gruvia Week 2015
Day 2: Quiet
In the quietness of the time, big surprises awaits.
.
AN: I can say that this might be a continuation scene from my other fic 'Love drunk' where Gray is drunk and Juvia handles him postively, you can see some hints while reading this. I hope you enjoy! Thank you for the reviews!
Gray worriedly glanced beside him, he watched silently at Juvia's small back, facing him. His wife of two years was acting strange for the past few days. He doesn't like the sudden change of attitude and he's willing to solve if there's any problem between them.
Without a second thought, he reached out his hand on her shoulders and he saw her jolt surprisingly on his touch. "Hey…" he quietly crawled to her side, wrapping his arm on her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder blade. "You've been different this past few days."
He inhaled softly, his embrace getting tighter and Juvia hugged herself even more.
"Come on… Talk to me." He whispered on her ear. She buried her face more on the pillow where her head was settled, not saying a word.
The young man sighed, instead he rested his cheek on Juvia's temple.
"You see," he paused, smiling in the dark. "Your Gray-sama is not used with Juvia being quiet like this." he copied her way of speaking.
He heard a small squeak from her and he chuckled. At least she's paying attention to him.
"Do you remember the time that I got drunk?" he asked her carefully, now lacing his fingers on her hand, gripping it tightly as words escaped his lips. "I can't remember anything about what happened but you told me everything."
"You said that I was singing non-stop and I was about to strip you in front of Gajeel and Levy…" his eye brows were drawn into a deep V, imagining how fool he was that night. "You also told me that I called you 'Juvia-chan'?"
He felt her relax on his arms, and he took the opportunity to scoot closer to her. "Well, that's pretty embarrassing, no?" he laughed to himself. "I couldn't imagine myself being like that."
She moved her head and their cheeks bumped. His talks were working.
"Gray-sama is so funny during that time." She agreed, smiling to herself.
He only laughed and hummed lowly. "You can't sleep?"
She sighed, "Well… Juvia might not be able to sleep properly because Gray-sama chose this time as his talkative time. You're not like this."
He nodded. "I know. But even if I have to babble stupid things and embarrass myself just to get you talking to me again, I'll do it again."
She felt touched on his words and a grin spread on her lips. "Really?" this time she moved to lay on her back, her free arm wrapping around his neck.
He pecked her lips quickly, and Juvia's eyes widened, a bright blush appeared on her face and he saw it despite the dimness of the light on their room.
"Oh how bold of you Gray-sama!" she hushed, giggling to herself as he began to run his hand on her sides.
He tucked her down on his chest, his chin resting on the top of her head. "Now tell me what's been bothering you? I don't like you being quite."
She felt something clenched inside her, her chest was so tight that she needed a second to breathe. Juvia did not intended to make her husband feel bad, she's just afraid that if he learns what is about to surprise him will make him mad.
Gray doesn't like surprises.
They've talk about this matter, a lot. And she's the only one who opens this kind of conversation between them. He hasn't spoke anything about that matter and he's quiet when she usually imagines and talk about little versions of them running around their humble house. Colors of blue and black will greet their father upon returning from a mission and ask for their presents. She also included that she doesn't want a few but a lot of them.
And now that the matter materialized before her, she can't find the guts to tell her husband that she's actually pregnant. In their life of two years being together, there will be finally an addition and this will be the beginning of their large family.
All she could do now is to be quiet and wait until her belly shows up then he'll ask what was that and if she's getting fat and-
"Tell me." He encouraged her, his fingers playing the locks of her blue hair, twirling it expertly on his long digits.
She gulped the lump on her throat first before glancing up at him with worried eyes. He equally look at her, his black eyes gentle and understanding.
She felt secured and decided to count from one to three.

She flipped them over and now she's pinning him down on their bed. Both her hands were pressed firmly on his naked chest, her eyes wide and teary.
"Gray-sama…" she began to sob and a scowl covered her husband's face.
"What-what do you think of having an addition to our f-family?"
"…"
She bit her bottom lip and silence surrounded them.
He rolled his eyes and this time, he flipped her over, gently. Both his forearms in either side of her head, their chests pressed together.
She opened her mouth and words hurriedly escaped it. "Juvia knows that you don't want yet but-" she was cut off by his glare and he sighed.
"How long is that droplet inside of you?" he asked.
She blinked. "D-droplet?"
"Our baby, baka."
Her eyes widened. "H-how did Gray-sama…" her word hung in the air.
"I saw that 'pregnancy test' device a few days ago, is that what's bothering you?"
"B-but how…?"
"Silly." He flicked his index finger on her forehead and Juvia pouted.
"I already knew it. Im just waiting for you to tell it to me personally, but I didn't think that you've been bothered by it. You don't have to worry that much."
"T-then…" she peeked at him shyly, her eyes clear.
Without a word he pressed his lips on her and Juvia's worries were gone. Her Gray-sama was definitely a very thoughtful husband.
When Gray pulled away, Juvia wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled brightly, her eyes shining and face glowing in delight.
"You called it 'droplet'." She teased him and he grinned and pushed himself down on her stomach, pressing a soft kiss on it. He faced her once again and Juvia etched the scene on her heart forever.
Rolling his eyes, Gray hugged her wife closer to his chest and inhaled contentedly, a smile on his lips.
