I do not own Fairy Tail.

It belongs to Mashima-sama. I'm just a fan trying to make a story about my OTP!

ΩΩΩ

"I'm just warning you Juvia, don't you dare come back home crying again... I know it because you already did that twice..."

Those words once again replayed in her mind as Juvia sat inside her car thinking if she should really get out and meet Gray or should she just drive home again. When she was talking to Gajeel she was so brave and has no doubts that she really wants to know all about her past. But when she parked her car in front of the apartment building that Gray told her where to meet him she could feel her nerves eating away her courage. She could not help but keep on thinking about all the possible negative outcome of her eagerness to know everything.

Looking out her car window, she once again studied the building. Certainly, it looks familiar. In the darkened part of her mind she could vaguely recall being in this place more than too many times but it was all blurred and distorted images that don't make any sense at all.

She tightly closed her eyes as white blinding pain pierced her head. Lately it's been happening a lot and she considered it a good sign that her memories are surfacing little by little. Being back in Magnolia surely did wonders to her locked up mind.

Sighing deeply as she tried to ward off the pain she finally made up her mind. It's now or never. Whatever the result would be, she'll find out all what she could salvage about her past. It may make or break her but at least she would know who truly Juvia Lockser is.

She inhaled deeply before going out of her car and taking the stairs that would lead her to the building's third floor where Gray said his old apartment was located. She didn't expect it but climbing those stairs felt so familiar and gave her an unexplainable feeling of being in the right place after so long of being away. It made her thrilled of what it would be like stepping inside a place that used to be a big part of her past.

When she reached the third floor, Juvia found Gray leaning on the wall beside a closed door that she assumed to be his old apartment. He had his eyes closed and for a moment Juvia just watched him. She can't help but to notice how handsome he is. Everything about him seemed to be perfectly made even that little scar on his forehead. If anything it just added to his unlimited charm. The way his messy hair framed the sides of his face was fascinating and she never knew that being still like that could ever be so sexy. From her past that she was aware of, she sure had seen a lot of good looking men and had a fair share of attractive men trying to win her heart over the past years but no one could compare to the man in front of her. Gray Fullbuster is one of a kind and even without her memory she could clearly see why she was into this man.

Her eyes darted down from his face to his Adam's apple when he swallowed. She could not explain why but it seemed so erotic and it made her feel so suddenly hot all over. Not aware of it, she herself swallowed because suddenly her mouth seemed to be so dry. She almost screamed when Gray suddenly spoke.

"Tch. Never thought that after so many years I'd feel this feeling of being watched by you again." His eyes slowly opened and they looked so dark and deep. "Like what you see?"

Her face felt so hot and she would bet that all her blood came up to her face. "A—ah.. I-I w-wasn't watch- I'm-" Gray chuckled when she continued bubbling incoherent words as she tried to hide her embarrassment.

He straightened up and walked towards her invading her personal space. "You're so cute," he said cupping her face. "I could kiss you right now." And that just made her face even redder if it's still possible. He chuckled again. "Or not. You might faint."

She has no idea what to say or how to deal with him. Was he always this playful or was he just teasing her because he caught her staring? And what did he mean by that feeling of being watched? He bent down and looked at her eyes closely, his breath mixing with hers and it's intoxicating. He smelled so good that she had the urge to close her eyes and just sniff him off. "On second thought," he whispered in a seductive voice or was it just her imagination. "I really want to do just that."

"W-wha-"

Her eyes widened when his lips touched hers and she swore her knees suddenly turned into jelly and she got no other choice but to cling on shirt as he continued on kissing her in a very sweet and gentle way. Juvia what the hell? Her brain shouted on her. What the hell is going on?

Okay he's kissing her and it's not supposed to happen but it feels so good. But that's not what she came for, but then again, it feels so good. She must stop him but how?

The soft touch of his lips against her lips was slowly taking away all her reasons. It just felt so good that she can go on kissing him forever. The shape of his lips was so fascinating and it seemed to fit with hers perfectly like God created it that way just for the two them. Her eyes closed on their own accord and a moan came out but from whom she no longer know because the next thing she knew was his tongue was inside her mouth and she's starting to return his kiss and they were both moaning. His hands was on her back gently caressing her and its giving her a tingling sensation and a kind of hunger that she could not remember having before. It was a kiss that made her think that she was never happy in her life before it happens and somehow that's quite close to the truth.

When Gray tried to pull away, Juvia quickly followed his lips and didn't let him and their kiss just like that. It was like his kissing him was like drinking salt water that made her even more thirsty and craving for more, desiring to have more...to have all of him. If she could, she would not stop tasting his lips but the need to fill her lungs of the air that they both need became necessary so reluctantly, she pulled away. She opened her eyes just to find herself staring back at the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. His eyes were like shining frozen cobalt and they were hypnotizing her.

His hand moved up from the small of her back to her face, caressing her cheek ever so gently, his forehead resting against hers. "Just like what I thought," he said still looking in her eyes. "You might have forgotten all about me but just like before, your body could never resist me the way I could never keep my hands to myself when it comes to you. You're just like that forbidden fruit written on the bible. Sinful yet tempting and I'm always tempted."

The need to say something was strong but Juvia seemed to forget how to speak. She's in a complete stunned state. The kiss was mind blowing, yes, but his words, it's piercing right through her heart. What could this man had done to her in the past that drove her away when she could literally feel her heart beating so fast just for him. There's no doubt she loved this man so much. But why did Gajeel said that Gray had made her cry more than once?

"Oh, Gray! Is that you?" Juvia staggered back as Gray scowled when they heard a cheerful voice and footfalls walking towards them. She looked on her right and saw a kind looking not-so-old man smiling at them particularly on Gray. "It's been long since you'd been here and who is this chick with you?" the man looked at her closely and he suddenly beamed at her. "Juvia!" he squealed. "Oh—Oh! It's really you! How long had it been since I last saw you? Five – six years? I'm not really sure," he thoughtfully said and she was just smiling awkwardly because she doesn't know what to say. He knows her and she had no idea who he is. "Say," he smiled sheepishly. "Did the two of you finally get back together?"

"A—ah, n-"

"It's about time. You see, Gray here had been sulking since you left. He do really love you though this kiddo could be a real jerk sometimes. But you know how he is. Just give him a good smack from time to time like what his friend Erza always do to keep him and Natsu in line."

A vein popped on Gray's head as he tried to pull the man who was suddenly close to Juvia away from her. "Oi, quit it old man. You got no business here so you can go now."

The old man just laughed. "What's with the rush, kiddo?" he asked with a suggestive smile on his face that Gray was itching to punch away. "Too excited to have your hands all over her again? Ahh I could still remember when you got a complain from the old maid occupying the apartment next to yours because according to her you two were too loud while you do the act of love!"

Juvia's face turned fifty shades of red with what she just heard. She's taking it back. This old man was no kind at all. How could he be so casual about something like that?

"Old man!" Gray spat to the old geezer with a menacing look on his face. "Ain't it enough that you ruined our moment? Do you really have to be so vulgar?"

The man just laughed again. "You're too uptight, boy. Loosen up a bit will ya?" he said then his face turned serious. "And maybe this time you could actually do the right thing with her," he added looking at her, giving her a genuine kind smile. "I'm glad to see you two together again. You were such a wonderful couple and I hope this time around I got to get a wedding invite and not escort a drunk broken hearted man up the stairs more than a couple of times." Gray opened his mouth to get back on what the man said but he just waved him off. "I know, I know. I'm leaving now. Good luck to the two of you."

They were left alone again on the outside Gray's old apartment after the man turn on the corner at the end of the hallway. "Who was that?" Juvia can't help but ask.

Gray scowled again. "Gin, an old neighbour. He used to be so kind to you because he said you're such a remarkable young woman back then that's why he's also kind of nice to me." he replied dryly. It looks like his mode was totally ruined. "Key," he said with his hand open in front of her.

She fumbled inside her bag and handed him the necklace. "Where's your own key?"

"Took you so long to ask, it could have saved you a trip back to Oak Town," he murmured looking down on the pendant and the key held together by a silver chain. There's a ghost of a sad smile on his lips but Juvia failed to notice it.

"If you got a key then why don't you use it?" she's kind of annoyed with his reply. If he got his own key then why ask her to get the necklace on the first place? "We could have been here yesterday."

"I didn't say I still got my key. I was just saying that you could have asked about it earlier because if I do have a key you could have saved a long trip."

"Where is it then?"

"Who knows," he shrugged. "I asked Natsu to get rid of it two years ago."

"What? Why?"

Gray looked at her seriously. "Because I started thinking that maybe I'm waiting for nothing after all." In a way that was true. After three years of waiting, Gray's confidence about Juvia coming back dropped a little low but still, he waited. "This place had been locked up for two years now. I told myself that I will only open it again if you somehow come back because constantly visiting our old love nest – by the way you're the one who said this apartment was our love nest, not me – was slowly driving me insane."

Was it that hard on him? Did he love her that much? And he actually kept that place when he told her yesterday that he got a new place to live in. "Two years you said," she mumbled. "That's a long time. That means it would be pretty dusty and stale in there."

He looked at her frowning like he was saying that she's so silly for being concern for a petty thing such as dust. "I knew you would say that." Gray dug inside the pocket of his jeans and handed her a face mask. "Always the neat and clean freak that you are."

She eyed him taken aback. He looked bored and indifferent about what he just did but for her it's something. To think that he actually predicted that she would react the way she did. He must know her that much. "What about you?"

"I'll be fine."

He didn't let her argue about the trivial issue. He quickly unlocked the door and step inside the old apartment. She followed immediately after putting on the mask and laughed lowly when she found Gray coughing in dust floated around him when he tried to lift the sheet covering the couch. "I thought you said you'd be fine," she giggled and Gray scowled. Still laughing she got her handkerchief from her bag and folded it neatly. She walked towards Gray, tiptoeing in front of him so she could put the folded hanky over his nose and tied it carefully behind his head. "There you go Mr. I'll-be-fine," she winked before moving away.

It was Gray's turn to be dumb founded. How long had it been since he witnessed that playful side of her? Surely it's been so long because that simple act left him breathless and blown away.

Juvia was looking around the place when suddenly she was twirled around by a strong arm and all of a sudden she's inside that arm, her mask removed and Gray kissing her again, roughly this time. She loudly groaned with the intensity of the kiss. It was completely different from the previous one. Just by the force of it she could say that it was Gray telling her how much he missed her. She willingly opened her lips so he could slip his tongue inside her mouth and she inwardly moaned when he started to explore every part of her mouth. No place was left untouched.

They were both panting when they let go of each other and she was as red as a tomato once again. She has no idea what the hell is wrong with her but she just can't help but respond everytime he touched her. And she doesn't know why he kept on kissing her.

"Because that's my own personal addiction."

What? Did she voice out her thought for him to answer? And what does he mean by 'own personal addiction'?

Gray chuckled. At least there's still a trace of his Juvia left inside the woman standing in front of him. "It might help you remembering, you know, we used to kiss a lot before. It's close to impossible not to kiss you whenever we're together."

Seriously?

"Yeah, seriously," Gray said again with a cocky smirk.

The hell? Why does she kept on voicing out her thought around this man and is he a bipolar? How can he quickly turn from being a romantic prince charming to a complete grumpy person and to a cocky jerk? Maybe Gajeel was right. Gray Fullbuster was no saint at all.

Possibly, he's a Devil.

A devil that would lure her in all kind of sins.

ΩΩΩ

Errr.

What do you think my lovely and amazing readers? Did I do well writing this chapter because I think it's so not my forte to write something so...so...I don't actually don't know what to call this.

Anyway,

I decided to give my OTP a break on this story.

For a long run, all I did was to give them heart breaking scenes so here's some not so painful chapter.

Let me know if this is any good by dropping a review.

You Know I Always Love You.

Sincerely,

YoseiNoAme
