I know I haven't updated in like 3 days and I'm SUUUUUUUUPER sorry!
I've been hella busy with school and I just couldn't find the time or energy to write.
On top of that, I had some serious writers block,
But no more excuses! (Hopefully)
So,enjoy! ~ Also, I apologize in advance for how shitty this chapter is.
'Why does Juvia feel like this all of a sudden?' She thought, as the man stroked her back and whispered things into her ear.
The man had given up on maintaining self-control and lifted the lightweight girl into his arms and walked towards the bed. Juvia continued to let Gray do as he wished, trying to fathom what this feeling she had in her chest was.
It was a deep and hungry feeling. Partially selfish, and partially giving. It made her want to see him smile, but only for her.
What was this?
She closed her eyes and felt Gray's large hands caress her waist.
That's when she understood what it all meant.
Juvia was falling in love with Gray.
Gray laid on top of the scarlet-faced girl and planted kisses along the her neck, moving down to the valley between her breasts.
Juvia whimpered, arching her back.
'Juvia wants to please Gray-sama, but.. this pain.'
"Juvia.. You're so perfect." Gray whispered in between breaths, he lifted her shirt higher to reveal her flat and toned stomach which was beautiful just as every other part of her.
"Gray-sama," she stated, regaining her composure.
"Gray-sama, please stop.." Gray continued kissing her until he realized what she had just said. The man felt a pang of embarrassment swell throughout his core.
He raised himself from the shy girl and stared at her in confusion.
Silencing Gray, Juvia spoke up, "Gray-sama.. Juvia is sorry, but she cannot do this. Juvia does want to make Gray-sama to be happy, but this is.. She- sorry.." She whispered, using the thin sheet from the bed to cover her body. Gray nodded slowly and scolded himself.
'How could I do that? I didn't even ask her what she felt, I just assumed that she was okay with the way things were going..' He shook his head and exited the room. Gray sighed feeling disappointed, mostly in himself. He almost used Juvia, if she hadn't have said anything, what then?
At that moment he was no better than Lyon. That's when the raven-haired man made up his mind.
Gray would tell Juvia the truth.
Once Gray left the room she was staying in, Juvia shut her eyes and fell against the soft pillows beneath her.
'What should Juvia do?' She whined, recalling the eventful day that had just occurred and soon falling asleep.
'Beep. Beep. Beep.' Gray's alarm clock chimed, awaking the groggy man. He rubbed his face with a hand and sat up onto the side of the bed, in only his boxers.
He stepped out of bed, shirtless, and began to walk out of his room, "Sebastian, what day is it?" He tiredly croaked, scratching his back.
"The day that follows Tuesday, sir."
...
"What day is it?" Gray repeated, too tired to even bother thinking.
"Wednesday, sir..." Sebastian stated, sighing in disappointment.
"So, I have school today?" Gray asked, eyes half-shut, trudging down the hall towards the staircase.
"Yes, sir.." The butler answered. Gray took a step down the stairs while speaking dreamily, "I can't wait to see-" his eyes opened completely in realization, "Juvia!"
The man almost forgot the events of the previous night and how said woman was sleeping at his house.
Gray turned heel and ran in the direction of her room, not sure why he was doing so.
'Knock. Knock. Kno-' the door slowly opened at his touch.
"Huh?" Gray peeked his head through the gap the door created. Juvia was no where to be seen. Gray quickly stepped into the room to search for the missing person, when he spotted a neatly written letter on the desk. He walked towards the table and read the note,
'Gray-sama,
Juvia apologizes for leaving without giving you notice. Juvia decided to leave early to work on fixing her house, as this letter is being written the time is 5 o'clock in the morning. So, Juvia figured that Gray-sama wouldn't want to be woken up. :) Also, thank you for letting Juvia stay here last night, but Juvia does not plan to stay another night. If Gray-sama is wondering if it's because of last night.. It is. Juvia was reminded of something bad when Gray-sama touched her, and.. That cannot happen. See you at school.
-Juvia'
Gray was speechless, or.. thoughtless. He fucked up and he knew it and she had just confirmed.
The man leaned his toned, bare back against the wall and slid down dreadfully slow with his head pressed into his palms.
Hours later, Gray arrived at school, keeping an eye out for a certain blunette. Not that he had anything to say to her, but because it was a habit.
Lately, Juvia had been the only thing on his mind, but he would make sure no one knew about that.
But the girl was not outside of the building so she must be inside, most likely helping a teacher or something. Typical of Juvia.
Gray entered his first period class, paying no attention to a pink-haired man calling his name, and sat in his seat.
Juvia wasn't there.
The man ran his hands through his black hair, irritated by his current state.
Seconds before the final bell ring, the source of Gray's problems ran through the door. Her hair was damp and she carried an extra bag with her.
Juvia apologized and took her seat next to Gray without saying a word.
After an entire fourty-five minutes of Mr. Dreyar's lecturing, Juvia stood to leave the room in a hurry.
"Ah.. Juvia, wait!" Gray called.
'Oh no oh no oh no..' Juvia winced.
"Um.. Juvia has to be somewhere, Gray-sama. Sorry." She apologized, pivoting and running through the doors.
Gray slumped back down against his desk, rejected once again.
"Oi, Slushie! Why are you so down?" Natsu asked, making a disgusted face at his and Erza's attention was caught and the two women turned to listen to Gray, "Nothing.."
This time, Lucy spoke, "Gray, obviously something is wrong. You didn't even call Natsu 'Flame Brain' or 'Slanty Eyes' when you answered him!" Erza nodded in agreement, although Natsu scoffed at her comment.
"I said it's nothing!" Gray slammed his fist on the wooden desk and marched out of the room. Leaving his three best friends shocked by his sudden outburst.
Meanwhile, Juvia was in the girl's locker room changing into a generic one-piece bathing suit and then hurrying to the pool room.
"All participants get in line and prepare yourselves." An authoritative voice ordered.
Juvia Lockser, the new girl, decided to get her mind off of a certain raven by joining the swim team. Well, trying out for now.
Not too far along, Gray began to wander the vast halls of Fiore High. Since second period is basically a catch up period for most people, the halls were crowded.
"Ahhhh! Gray-sama! Gray-sama!~" The mentioned man's head rotated quickly in the direction of the voice who used his name with the all-familiar honorific.
Oh.
It was just them.
Gray rolled his eyes at the Gray Fullbuster Fan-club.
The girls repeatedly called his name and Gray snapped. Only one person had the right to call him "Gray-sama" and none of those girls were that person.
"Do not call me that." He grunted, turning into the athletic hall when he heard a noise. It sounded like water splashing around.
'Huh, must be the swim team.' He pondered, standing in the doorway to the pool area.
"Next up, Juvia Lockser!" The announcer yelled. Gray's eyes widened.
'Was this fate or what?'
Juvia was trying out for the swim team? And she didn't even bother to tell him? Well, they were having.. problems, but that doesn't matter! This is important news.
The navy-eyed girl quickly strode to the edge of the pool then bending over into her starting position, which revealed much of her behind to a group of guys watching. And much was too much for Gray's liking in front of others, but he restrained himself from acting out for Juvia's sake.
Her long, creamy legs stretched down and as soon as the whistle blew she dived head first into the crystal clear water.
Gray was speechless, again. Why did this woman have this effect on him?
Juvia skillfully weaved through the water as though she was the water, her blue hair gracefully swirling and moving along with her. Once she reached the other side, she turned back and ended where she had begun, grabbing the edge of the pool to hoist her wet body up. Her swimsuit hugged her every curve even more that before because of the moisture and she looked astonishingly beautiful to Gray when she shook her head to remove some water.
That moment, however, was ruined when a man with black hair similar to Gray's, wrapped a towel around Juvia and began walking with her with his arm around her shoulders.
Haru.
That was his name.
He and Gray shared the same amount of "fangirls" but that didn't mean they were the same.
Haru was a dick, ignored everyone, only did what he wanted.. Well, maybe they shared a few qualities, but Gray admitted to being way less of a player than him. And he couldn't stand seeing Juvia with a man like that.
"You did great Juvia, your form was perfect. Honestly, I didn't think you'd do so amazing." Haru said, walking with Juvia to a bench.
The two sat down as Juvia thanked the man, slightly annoyed by his presence. Usually, Juvia would have loved to have company especially attractive company like Haru, but she felt bothered because it wasn't Gray.
Juvia had to admit, she was slowly falling head over heels for Gray which could not happen. Once she started a romantic relationship, all of her past emotions would come seeping out just as they almost did on that one night with Gray.
Juvia felt selfish, but it wasn't like Gray even liked her. Right?
The blunette's eyes began to twinkle as she held her blushing cheeks.
"Juvia..? Juvia?" The other swimmer called, waving a hand in front of her face to get her attention.
"Oh! Juvia is sorry! What were you saying, Haru-san?" She apologized, released from her trance.
Haru stood up, taking Juvia with him, "Do you want to meet a few of my friends?"
The girl nodded, not knowing what else to do, as Haru led her to the same group of men who ogled at her. Standing across the room, Gray noticed Juvia making her way with the other man towards a cluster of more people he despised.
'You have horrible taste in guys, Juvia..' Gray scoffed.
Little did he know.
Gray Fullbuster calmly sat amongst the crowd of people watching the swimming try outs while keeping an eye on Juvia.
"Are you creeping on that girl?" Gray jumped at the sudden question and turned his head to the asker, it was a faggotish man with dark hair.
"Uh.."
"Sorry. My name's David." He stated.
Gray furrowed his brows, "I'm Gray."
The other man remained silent for a minute before speaking, "So you were creeping on her?"
"Listen, kid, I'm not too keen on beating up freshmen, but if yo-"
"I can tell that you wanna talk to her, so instead of stalking her just go up there."
"Who the fuck do you think you are?"
Sigh. "Whatever man." Gray thought about what the man said and realized it was true.
As he stood up to face up to Juvia, his phone began to ring.
'Lyon' his caller I.D. read.
What did he want? Now of all times?
Gray pressed the device to his ear, "What is it?"
"Gray hurry, Ur's in the hospital.. And it's not good." A worried voice said.
The gray-eyed man felt a shiver travel up his spine, and began sprinting towards the exit. He was freaking out, and people were beginning to notice his actions.
"Look at that moron running!" One of the guys in the group Juvia was talking to stated. The girl focused her attention in the direction the man pointed in and her heart skipped a beat.
It was Gray.
And he was frantically trying to leave, looking frightened and pained. Juvia felt her heart clench at the sight and began to chase after the man.
'Gray-sama.. Please be alright.'
Gray dashed through the halls and struggled passed the crowds of people while unknowingly being followed by a certain swimmer.
'This cannot be happening..' He felt his chest rising at a faster pace and ran towards his motorcycle.
He couldn't lose anymore people.
Free! Iwatobi Swim Club "reference" anyone?:D
