A/N: I don't know if you guys will ever forgive me for the long wait. I had to deal with lots of school works and exams the last months and when I got the chance to write I got a huge writer's block and I got enthralled by reading another fanfics and watching Kdramas and animes.
It's really unlikely for me to dedicate a chapter but then this person deserves it. A true Gruvia fan.
No more talks just enjoy. Pls look past the errors and mistakes.
Chapter 7:
Gray pressed his forehead on hers, inhaling her scent, he closed his eyes savoring this moment. It felt like he was standing in the middle of a garden full of lavender. Peaceful and calming.
The contentment he felt when she had in his arms were disturbed when she started laughing. Immediately, he cracked an eye at her.
She distanced herself a few cm's away from him.
"What's funny?" he asked, his eyebrow reaching his hairline.
Curly hairs fly on her sides as she shook her head no. "It's just...i'm happy" she smiled sweetly at him.
The onyx-eyed man was surprised from what she had said. Slowly, a smile crept on his handsome face. Well, saying his glad was an understatement. He'd almost released a sigh of relief when she said that.
It felt like it's his first time having a woman in his arms. Anxiety and nervousness made his heart go beating like it wanted to jump out of his chest.
He was aware that his room was well lighted so why did it seem like she's the only one his eyes could see. She looked like some kind of a moon goddess, her skin looked like she was bathed by the moonlight, pale yet glowing. Her curly blue hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall. But what amazed him and always made his breath hitch up were her cobalt cat-like eyes, eyes that held child-like innocence but could be seductive if you stare for too long, pools that could trap you into a never-ending thirst.
Juvia watched as Gray watched her. She felt like her blood was singing and unexplainable tingling sensation coursed through her spine, giving her a pleasurable chill.
Seeing her blushed some more made his blood rush, making him dizzy and hot. "Juvia"
He swore his heart skipped a beat when their eyes met
"C-can...can I kiss you?"
It took a moment before she replied but nevertheless she agreed. With a soft nod and a shy peeked at him, she bashfully closed her eyes.
Juvia had to refrain herself from sighing when his large cold hands curve against the seemingly hot cheeks of hers. She could feel him move closer and closer, his breath caressed her skin and just like what she concluded when his lips claimed hers, she knew she's still under his spell.
He gently coaxed her lips with his, afraid that she might change her mind. His hands left the smooth feel of her cheeks to wrapped itself around her waist possessively and she responded by snaking her arms to his neck.
His slick warm tongue glistened her lower lip, the motion sent shivers down her spine through her whole body. His scalp burned from her fingers scraping on it as the pleasure she's feeling increased, his hand caressed her exposed skin in circular motion, giving her goose bumps. He held her like she's some kind of expensive piece. Fragile and delicate.
When they part, Juvia was breathing heavily, flustered with their shared kiss. All her life, she had kissed only one man in such way and that was her Gray-sama. She lovingly ran her fingers through his hair, it's smooth like running your hand in water. She laid her head on his toned chest and a soft rumble of his chest gave indications of contentment.
"Juvia" he breathed out, savoring the taste of her name and her on his tongue.
She closed her eyes and hummed her response. She felt him inhale and that made her look at him.
She cupped his cheeks and stared at those sinfully beautiful orbs.
His eyes seemed to be conveying a lot of emotions. Emotions that made the bottom of her stomach flutter and her heart go crazy.
Without any words expressed, Gray, once again, dipped his head to taste her sweet lips.
This time with a little fevor, with great intensity that makes Juvia forgot how to make her brain function, it seemed like that the function it knew was Gray.
They both pulled each other's body flush on them. Feeling each other up, made them to elicit moans. Their tongues wrapped on each other, fighting for the upper hand. The passionate slick and slide of their tongues seemed to wake their body into deep slumber; their body seemed to be on fire, sizzling on every edge they bumped.
She tasted so sweet, cinnamon, that's what she tasted like. And he would never get tired of it. He was never a fan of sweets but there always an exception to it. He grabbed a handful of her hair and pushed her towards him, giving him a deeper access in her sweet cavern. His tongue traced every corner of her mouth, making sure that it was touch by his.
He could feel her trembling and as reflex she unconsciously rubbed her legs together. Gray let his hand wander from her neck to her lower back, and as his hand go lower, his blood, also, go lower. Sending alarms down his loin. Scalding heat traveled on every each of his body.
"God! Juvia! I want you!" he hoarsely breathed out when they parted.
She met his eyes with equal fevor. "Then what are you doing? claim me!" she challenged out.
His eyes seemed to shine for instance and Juvia found herself anticipating.
She found herself lip locked with him.
Every shiver, sighs, moans, whimpers she made, was like pulling him to a magnet. Whatever she did attract him. Just before they parted for air, he nipped on her lower lip, and it glistened because of their mixed saliva. She was some kind of a drug, she was his new addiction. And he was quite sure that no amount of medication or even a trip to a rehab could cure it.
She felt her back being pressed on the mattress, and his lips sucking on her neck, his warm tongue tracing her pulse. That didn't fail to shake her body with tremors. Her blue pools darkening with lust. She opened her leg and flung it on his side. Giving him—both of them— room to be comfortable.
"mhmm, ahh.." she moaned, as he glided it down towards the valley of her breasts. Her erotic moans and sighs were like music to his ears, melodies that only angels make. His angel. His Juvia. His large hands cupped her soft breasts, and Juvia bit her lips, making her look even more irresistible. She felt like her eyes were rolling at the back of her head. And he was amazed at how her mounds fit unto his hand. It's like she's made just for him. For him. Only.
Her hands found its way back on his mass of black hair. He was licking her nipple through her bra, and he could feel it hardening under. Her grip on his hair loosening and she brought it to her mouth to bit on it. Restraining the moans she may produce. He did his ministration on her breasts once again, he was licking the bud on a circle motion and she was sure her bra was damp because of his saliva. Her eyes flew open, her toes curled up, and her bite on her finger tightened when he pinched on the other. She could feel him smirk while doing it.
She felt his arms wrapped around her looking for her bra's clasp. She arched her back towards him, and made contact to his hard chest. The only thing that kept her and him was the thought of cloth and mere nature. With a hand of an expertise, he unhooked it without any struggles.
Gray followed the descending of her strap with butterfly kisses that made her shiver. Her breasts bounced when he took the piece of clothing off. He cupped the creamy mounds in front of him, he heard her take a sharp breath when he covered the pink bud with his mouth. Her moans rumble deep her throat and even if she tried hard to prevent it she knew she couldn't. His other hand, didn't want to leave the other alone, started to knead it, pinching her nipple in the process. His rough hand made it's way down her thigh and started to caress the smooth skin.
"Oh..nghh" she couldn't help her voice from leaking out whenever he alternately sucked on her breasts. She threw her head back when his tongue licked on her nipples and she was starting to see stars, when his teeth grazed on the soft skin. She could feel her sex throbbing, she raised her hips, grinded on him and she heard him hiss and curse.
She wanted to hear it again, his voice, so she rolled her hips up to meet his hard shaft, only a thin piece of clothing separating them from pure ecstasy.
When she did that she heard him moan, so she did it again as he continued playing with her mounds, but Gray had enough. Juvia gasped when he slammed her hips steady on the mattress.
She smirked when he started to take his boxers off. "Impatient, are we?"
He was really impatient, and her smirking just turned him the fuck on.
"dammit Juvia, I want this to last but you're making it difficult" He hissed as he climbed on the bed once again, this time his glory showing with all gods to see. Juvia's eyes widened from seeing it.
It was so much bigger than she anticipated. She unconsciously rubbed her legs together and that didn't go unnoticed by her husband. When he gave her some feathery touches on her legs, she started to shiver, his eyes looking at her like he had set his target for tonight.
"Lie back" he instructed as his large rough hands moved up and down her creamy thighs.
"B-but...I want to touch it" she childishly pouted and that earned her a low laugh from him. "You can touch it alright..." he leaned his head towards her ear, his cool breath caressed her warm skin..."But after I'm finished with you"
They had made out and seen each other's body but then he never failed to make her blush. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and her face seemed to heat more.
Gray couldn't seem to take his eyes off her, his eyes drinking in her presence, and this thirst he was having was only curable by her. He dipped his head down to have a taste of her sweet lips.
Soft body made contact with his hard chest, making them shiver in delight; Juvia barely noticed when Gray stopped.
"hmm? w-what's wrong?"
Gray blinked at her and touched her between her legs. She seemed to be confused when she didn't feel anything, that's when her eyes widened
She gasped, "I-I f-forgot, gosh!" she panicky said, and Gray, only sighed and washed his face with his hands. Juvia had nothing to say but sorry
He raised a hand, stopping her from apologizing. "It's okay" he said much to himself. The truth was he was really looking forward to this, and with Juvia, he wondered if he'd ever get a chance to do this with her again. The heck he's been celibate for a year, for a freaking year! Call him a saint or whatsoever but how did he manage that?
Is he disappointed? Is he angry? wahh! I totally forgot. I have my period..
Juvia stiffened when she heard him sigh. What now? What were they going to do? She was now on a sitting position, his back was facing her, she felt her face heating up when she looked at that. He was still rock hard and having such thing was so uncomfortable.
She cleared her throat, "U-um..What are we going to do?"
She heard him sighed again, she could clearly see him— the lights were still on—she looked away and fidgets. It really was embarrassing; it felt like she was on her teenage years. Then she heard him laugh, she raised her head and looked at him, he offered her the silk blanket, and it felt good on her warm skin, and gently placed his lips on her temple, "It's okay, really"
And without another word he turned his back and entered the bathroom.
Is he really the Gray i've met before?
She regreted it.
Everything.
She regreted giving it to him.
...
Her Jellal-nii-sama told her that he won't be staying. She was on her senior year, she remembered when her daddy had agreed to make her attend high school instead of homeschooling but in exchange her nii-sama would be with her. Her father also had bought a house for her near her school.
Mr. Lockser promised that she would live independently, no maids, butlers and bodyguards, just like a normal highschool girl. So that meant she had to take care of herself, cook, wash everything, clean, she had to do that herself. Jellal-nii was with her but tonight he said he would be at his friend's house doing some projects.
She had broken up with her boyfriend, Gray. More like Gray had broken up with her. The reason, He just became cold suddenly and told her hurtful words, well she really didn't know
Well, it had been months since she was loveless. And she still hadn't moved on. Her nii-sama always cheer her up, but still her heart hurts.
She wiped her stubborn tears "Juvia shouldn't cry, It's worthless. Stubborn stubborn Juvia!"
"Maybe Gray-sama is with a girl right now!" The thought made her even more depressed. She looked at the window and almost laughed, it's raining hard just as how she's raining inside.
Juvia was about to sleep when she heard someone ringing the doorbell. She felt her heart beats fast, 'It's already late, nii-sama said he will sleep at his friends house. 'She said thinking about Jellal
She cautiously went to the door when the ringing stopped. She jumped when the person outside started pounding on the door but what made her surprise was hearing his voice.
"Juvia! Juvia! open this up...hic..Juvia! open..hic..up!"
Juvia put her hand on the door. "G-gray-sama?"
The pounding seemed to stop but the rain was still pouring outside. When she opened the door, the first thing he did was to gather her in his arms.
Juvia, confused, pushed him away. He smelled like alcohol and rain. "G-gray-sama, you're soaked" she reasoned out but he only hugged her tighter
"N-no. I-I won't let you go"
"Gray...
"Juvia..I'm s-scared to l-lose y-you"
Juvia suddenly found her back pressed on the wall, with Gray started kissing her. This was bad, he was not himself.
She pushed him but to no avail. Suddenly, she heard him locking that door and that made her scared.
'There's nothing to be scared about, Gray-sama will never hurt Juvia'
But wasn't it that he already did?
"Gray-sama, we can't do this, y...your drunk" she pushed him, only to be silenced by his lips. Tremors ran through her body when his tongue entered her mouth, yes they kissed before but not like this.
She pushed him away, ignoring the sensation he's giving, he glared at her and she looked away, "A-ano..Juvia will make you a cup of coffee—"
"Where is your room?" he cut, Determination burned in his eyes. It's like he had found a new goal.
"Huh? u-upstairs"
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her upstairs, moving wobbly.
"A-am..I the first guy to be in your room?" he asked when he was inside her room.
"huh? um..n-no" she answered when she brought a towel for him.
Well, her nii-sama had been in her room, so he wasn't the first guy to see her room..
She didn't know why but it felt like the air in the room got thicker. The towel she gave him fell on the floor with a thud. She flinched when she felt his hand gripped her arm tightly.
"Gray-sama, you're hurting Juvia" she said trying to release his hold on her. She couldn't clearly see his expression, his bangs blocking his face.
"So...The rumors were true"
"h-huh?"
His grip becoming tighter and tighter, then with just a split of a second she found herself on her bed with a furious and drunk Gray on top of her.
"So you have moved on?!huh?! Is it that easy for you to forget me?!"
Gray's face resembled someone who was in pain, someone who had suffered so much, someone who was in anguish.
Someone who was regretting
Juvia felt like crying seeing her Gray-sama like this. But she didn't understand what he was talking about, wasn't it that he was the one who dumped her? then why was he so mad assuming that she was moving on.
Juvia wouldn't know that she was crying not until he wiped it. She'd had enough of this rollercoaster ride, didn't he know that she's still young to be tricked, still young for her feelings to be played. "Shhh...I'm...sorry" he said, with tears in his eyes.
She shook her head no, but Gray beat her into speaking "I..want all of you. Juvia."
She blinked at him, surprised at what he said. What was he implying about...?
She squeaked when he pulled her flush to him. "Juvia..I need an assurance that I'm still the one.."
She reached out for his face and took a big gulp.
"O-okay". she said before he claimed her lips.
...
The next morning she woke up, feeling sticky and sore. Remembering what happened last night; she blushed ten shades of deep red.
She's no longer a virgin.
She flung her arm on her side checking if he was still here. Then her suspicions had been proven.
He just used her.
She felt her tears coming back; she's trying her best to choke them back. Her eyes fluttering close when something struck her eyes. On her study table, the blue butterfly clip she returned to him lied there with its glory.
And she cried. And cried and cried. Repeating words like idiot, stupid yet she couldn't bring herself to hate him.
...
Juvia clenched her fists on the side. How come she forgot about that? She looked around and saw Gray coming out from the bathroom. "Oh. I thought you have left." he said not meeting her gaze, while drying his raven locks with a towel.
Juvia just simply looked at him. And that puzzled Gray, her eyes held no emotions at all. Those beautiful blue eyes seemed so dull
Then she smiled so sweetly at him. Her mood completely turned.
"Can I stay for the night?" she timidly asked...
Her question made Gray's heart swell with happiness, thoughts of their marriage might work out came up "Uh..yeah.."
He stiffly sat beside her, an awkward silence ensued. He was battling on what he should say when Juvia beat him to it.
"Can I use your shower?"
"of course."
But she made no move or indication to go, when he looked at her, he was met by a pair of big round blue eyes. "Uh. What is it?", Berating him for sounding like a dumb.
Then she blushed like a cute girl she was, and his heart hammered, and he wished to have his way with her again, thoughts of kissing her and having her writhing beneath him vanished when she spoke "C-can you turn for a while?"
Noting the sudden demureness of her, that was so unlike the sophisticated Juvia he knew, he turned around and he heard her run towards his bathroom.
He fished out a boxer in his cabinet, smiling as he turned the lights off. Surely,she's one of a kind.
Loke followed Aries' every movement. He had Gemini in his arms soundly sleeping, while Aries had Gemimah with her. She motioned to lay Gemini on his bed when she finished laying Gemimah on hers. She covered the kids with the comforter and kissed their foreheads, Loke just stood there watching her. Not knowing what to do. He had never yet to see this. Her motherly side. He spent the whole afternoon at her house, playing with the kids, she just let him play with the twins, interrupting when she would bring them cookies and juice.
They needed to talk. He carefully went to her receiving area and took a seat.
He buried his face with his hands. He still couldn't believe that he's already a father. If he was told about these three years ago, he would've chicken out and that would make her depressed. So, he didn't blame Aries if she had hidden about this.
After Loke left his home, he had a new resolve. He had searched for her for three years and he promised to himself that once he saw her again he would ask her to marry him. The truth was his parents wanted him to get married, and finding out that they have kids, would make it easier for him to make her agree.
"I'm sorry about that, the twins really are a handful" she apologetically smiled.
He responded by waving his hand dismissively. "It's no problem, in fact...i'm happy". He really was happy. Being a heir had taken its toll on him, he needed to be like this and like that, made sure that he would always bring honor but whatever he did disappointed them. When he met Aries his life changes, everything changed. He fell in love and learned to live again.
Remembering all this, the only time his parents had been happy was when he introduced Aries as his girlfriend and when they found out that Aries left him they got mad.
What he said made the pink-haired beauty stop in her tracks. But nevertheless she smiled back. "Are you hungry?" She asked as she took the seat next to him.
"No, i'm fine".
Both of them are alike, heirs, and treated like runts. "Loke-kun..." she started..
He knew what she would say, the way her eyes lose its bright color... He knew it yet he didn't want to hear it.
"Stop.." he clenched his fist on his side. His voice made her surprised. "It's not your fault. It's mine. I should be the one apologizing"
Aries was taken aback by what he said, but what made her more surprised when he kneeled in front of her and bowed his head to the ground. She immediately tried to make him stand but to no avail. She could feel the corner of her eyes stinging, seeing the only man she loved like this. "L-Loke"
"I'm sorry Aries, It's my fault you are hurt. It's my fault you are hurting. I...Give me a chance to make everything better." He didn't know what her reaction was. And it was making him dizzy bowing like this. He heard her move closer towards him.
She cupped his face with her hands and lifted it up to look at her. Loke always knew that Aries was like him, born to live up to expectation, her parents thought of her as a disgrace but they were wrong. They couldn't see how wonderful she was as a person. Heck, she raised the twins on her own. He felt his tears falling when she smiled at him, the pad of her thumb gently wiping them away "It is my fault too. Please, don't blame yourself. I'm sorry."
Gathering his courage, he pulled her into an embrace. He buried her face on his chest, and he gently pets her head. Whispering "You've been tough... but it is not the time to be one, I am here, I will protect you and our kids, you can be weak once in a while, and I can promise you that from now on all your problems will lessen, share them with me. Please. Aries."
She responded by tightening her grip on him, and by sobbing on his arms.
All the pent-up emotions and pain for the past years seemed to be awakened and she just let it out. She held unto him like he was her lifeline.
Gray was on the verge of falling asleep when he felt a pair of warm arms wrapped around his torso. His whole body sagged in contentment feeling her body next to him. He felt her nuzzled her head to the crook between his head and shoulder. The smell of his body wash wafted his olfactory senses, but then she had this scent that he'd always recognize. Sweetness.
He flung his arm on her. Amazed at how they fit each other like a puzzle. "I went to my room to get some few things. I was worried that you've slept on me"
He cracked a droopy eye open. He's feeling sleepy, now that he had freshened up and the inevitable warmth she's giving was a perfect place for slumber. "Well...I'm feeling sleepy, alright?" His voice didn't even have to hide the lace of slumber in it.
"Then let's sleep now" she laughed, and he wandered into a deep slumber.
He surely was content having her in his arms that night so why was there a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach that something was...off?
A/N: see you in the next chapter. Oh. Before I forgot, I'll spoil you guys with Gruvia madness in the next chapters.
