It belongs to Mashima-sama. I'm just a fan trying to make a story about my OTP!
ΩΩΩ
As Juvia Lockser sat at the far end of the bench of the table she was occupying at the cafeteria with Levy and the gang she knew all too well that she was screwed.
She agreed to join Levy McGarden and her friends when they asked her to join them for lunch thinking that it's just the girls who would be dining with her but she was so wrong. She forgot that in their circle of friends that they called Fairy Tail having lunch or whatever meal must always be done together. It was like their unwritten rule to always meet up every break time unless they need to do something really important or else suffer the wrath of Erza Scarlet, the gang's unofficial leader. She was like their oldest sister and everyone in fairy tail do her bidding.
They were now in the longest table specifically reserved for the group and happily eating and talking but she was as quite as a sleeping mute. It's not like she's uncomfortable with them, she's been with them couple of times, but beside her sat a man who made her really uncomfortable. It's non-other than Gray Fullbuster whom she didn't know why on earth decided to sit beside her when there's other vacant space for him in his usual seat beside Cana Alberona, Professor Gildarts daughter.
She knew there are times in life that people made mistakes. Times when people choose the wrong move and made the wrong decisions. But do people made wrong moves consecutively.
In her situation, that's the case.
For the past few weeks since her supposedly peaceful life tangled up with Gray Fullbuster the way she'd been literally tangled up with him under the sheets she'd been making wrong decisions, one after the other. The first was when she slept with him but that one was something she could consider as a wonderful mistake that as much as hard as she tried she cannot regret. What she's truly brooding about was when she stupidly bit on his bate the other day.
Juvia Lockser, the smart always on the top of her class, foolishly accepted a bet with him and that's a terrible mistake. One wrong move from her and she'll be fucking screwed. All she has to do is to tell him the truth and he for sure won't leave her alone and what's annoying was at the back of her mind she actually liked the idea. The thought of him always around her was so appealing but she knew it won't be good for the two of them.
But how was she supposed to get rid of him when she actually gave him a month to make her remember what they had that night?
Gray was serious about it and he was making it a goddamn serious business.
Juvia has no idea how long she can pretend that she's truly oblivious of the things they did together at the Strauss' mansion. She can deny it all she wants but that doesn't mean that Gray would just let her be. He has his own ways to make her admit of what she knew.
Damn him and his wicked ways of reminding her.
And damn her and her traitor body for always going against her will everytime that he's close to her. Just like at that very moment that he's intentionally brushing his side on hers as they sat side by side while eating their lunch. It's taking all her will not to close her eyes and linger on the heat radiating from the both of them. Just being so near him was enough to shake all her senses and turn her thoughts into mess.
His every subtle move reminds her of what it was like to writhe underneath him or what it was like to be touched by him and it's all she could think about. He's igniting a fire inside her and she's just letting him. She has no idea how he did it or when it all started but when it comes to him she has no control over her thoughts and desires.
Damn.
They were both dancing on fire that burned so bright when they are so close like that and she's scared that she might burn down to the point she no longer know how to put it out. Gray's presence in her like was becoming constant and she's afraid of getting too used to the feelings only he could make her feel.
Juvia tried to ignore what Gray was doing since the people around them seems perfectly unaware of what's going on between them and she like to keep it that way. She don't want her new found friends to know that once in her drunken state she wantonly gave herself to Gray Fullbuster. She don't want them to think lowly of her or to think that their long time friend took advantage of her. She knew the truth and explaining it to other people would be complicated. She can't actually imagine herself answering the loads of question they are going to ask once they knew what happened.
One particular question scared her the most that even her don't want to answer.
Why did she let him have her?
She just quietly listened to the group's conversation as she ate her food. They were talking about everything under the sun and bantering about anything just like the usual. She's not talking unless they ask her.
"Why don't we have a movie night tonight since its Friday? We can stay up all night and have some drinks too," Lisanna, the ever party and night out girl, suggested when they started what they will do after class. "What do you think guys? Should I call at home and tell the maids to prepare our movie room and cook some foods?"
"Movie is good," Lucy replied. "But your house is getting boring, Lis," she added looking around the table. "Don't you think so guys? We're always hanging out there. Why don't we try some other place?"
"She's right," Mira, Lisanna's older sister said. "It's always in our house. Why don't we go somewhere else. How about your apartment Lucy?"
"Eh?" Lucy's face paled with the suggestion. "Why my apartment? Natsu, Erza and Gray always go there and just the three of them there already makes my apartment so crowded how much more if it's all of you?" the blonde whined.
Actually, Lucy's apartment was quite spacious, Juvia had been there once. Maybe the blonde just don't like the idea of her friends trashing her place. The gang could be really destructive and disastrous at times. Juvia knew because she had seen it herself more than twice.
But there's something with what Lucy said that really caught her attention. Gray along with Natsu and Erza always hang out at Lucy's place? What was it, double indoor dates? Juvia knew that Lucy and Natsu have a thing for each other but what about Gray and Erza?
Vile suddenly rouse from her inside up to her mouth leaving a bitter taste.
She inwardly shook her head with the sudden thought and she tried to disregard the sudden jolt of something painful like a needle pricking her heart feeling. What was that? She silently asked herself as she tried hard not to linger on the nasty feeling.
There were rumbles of suggestion that went over the group as they argue at where they should go that pulled her attention out of her bitter reverie. There were suggestion that they should just settle at the Strauss' since the place was actually huge and it will fit them all that followed by complains of the place really getting old and too used then turned into full blown debate if they should just go out bar hopping or if the girls could just have a sleep over at Fairy Hills, the all girl's dorm where she also reside, to which the boys completely disagree with saying it's not fair because they wanna join the fun too.
"Damn it!" Natsu slammed his hands on the table that ceased the argument. "You don't want this, you don't want that! When will you make up your minds?" he complained loudly catching the attention of the students at the nearby table which the pinkette don't care about. "Let's just go to Gray's place!" he blurted out.
"What?" Gray who was quiet beside her blurted out too. "Why the fuck are you suggesting my place it's not yours so don't just decide to use it!"
"Because your apartment is big you got a huge TV with complete set of speakers and stuffs plus you got a good collection of drinks from you old man. Your place is perfect!" Natsu replied with a cheeky grin.
"You moron. Do you think I'll let you feast with my dad's wine collection and turn my apartment into garbage bin?"
Juvia solemnly look at Gray's face and what she saw made her secretly smile ruefully. There beside her was the man she knew first and not the one he always showed at her. This was the real him and not the one who always followed her. This was the Gray Levy introduced to her. Scowling and always arguing with his best friend Natsu. He's distant and cold not seductive and playful. He's showing who he really was because he's with the people who are really part of his life and not with the girl whom she happened to have a one night stand with.
She was too caught up with her thoughts that she missed how Natsu's grin turned devilish as his gaze went down from looking at Gray down to her. "Hey Juvia," he called her name. She was surprised and from her peripheral vision she saw how Gray's eyes darkened with what Natsu did. Seems like he's not too pleased that his friend was paying her attention. "You're going to join us, aren't you?"
"Huh?" she asked dumbfounded.
Why was he asking her?
"You'll be at Gray's place later tonight to join us right?" he asked her again more clearly to her and the other's confusion.
"Natsu!"
There was warning on Gray's face when he called his friend's name and they exchange a kind of look that only friends for years could understand and realization hit her. Natsu Dragneel knew something! Her feet went cold and her face paled. "Uh- an—" Damn what does he knew? "J-juvia's not sure," she stammered. "Uhm—"
"Ow, come on," Natsu cut her off. "We're just going to watch some silly movies and will have some fun, sure you can join us. You're one of us now so you should really start hanging out with us more often." The way he said one of us held more meaning to it than what he made it sounds like. She knew there's more to it aside from her being paranoid.
"Natsu have a point," Erza Scarlet who was just eating her strawberry shortcake all throughout the chaos her friends were doing spoke for the first time looking straight in her eyes. There's something with the way she was looking at her that made her feel really self conscious and more paranoid. "Join us Juvia," she said with a small polite smile that somehow eased her up. "It would be fun, right Gray?" her eyes darted from Juvia to Gray who was looking at the red head with a barely concealed irritation.
What the hell were with those only them could understand look? From the looks of it the others on the table were clueless too and they didn't even pry. It's like whatever it is they're leaving in on the hands of the red head to deal with but some of them has mischievous smile on their faces like Cana and Mira.
"Juvia can't."
All eyes went to Levy Mcgarden when she suddenly said those two words.
"Why?" almost everyone in the table asked in unison.
Levy's eyes were serious that didn't match what Juvia thought to be a sweet smile the petite blunette tried to muster. "Gajeel told me earlier when I asked him to go out on a date tonight that he and Juvia already has plan for their Friday night, right Juvi-chan?"
"Uh-uhm… Yeah!" she squeaked. "G-Gajeel-kun and Juvia has plan already."
Of course that was a lie but she's thankful to levy for making up an excuse for her but the look she gave her made Juvia a little nervous. Her gaze was saying she's not telling her something and she's blaming Natsu for dropping a bomb by asking her if she would want to join them.
Crap! She knew someone saw her leave the Strauss mansion that morning. Now she knew who was that guy she saw at the hallway. Now the question is if he told anyone. He must know it was her because he was with her at the party along with Levy and Lucy. He knew what she was wearing and what she looked like that night. But then again, if he told anyone then why no one was asking her about it?
Everyone seemed disappointed with her answer but they just shrugged it off saying they can't force her to go if she already made a plan with someone else and so they went on with planning their Friday night and she was thankful that no one asked or tried to convince her to come anymore.
"Can't you cancel your plan with your best friend?" She was surprised when a hot breath tickled her ear as a low baritone voice asked her that. Gray was slightly leaning towards her and if anyone looked at them it was like they were just having a casual conversation but underneath the table Gray's left hand were on her covered thigh and his finger was drawing circle over the material of her dress.
"Wh-what?"
What the hell was he thinking? If someone saw them she's going to strangle the shit out of him. She would allow him to do what he want if they're alone but not when all his friends were there cheerily talking unaware that their friend was doing something to her.
He smiled a little as she felt his hand slowly bunching her dress on his fist as he tried to roll it up so her skin was showing and when his fingers made contact to her flesh her face instantly flushed and the butterflies in her tummy stirred.
"What are you doing?!" she lowly hissed at him and he just grinned at her.
"Cancel your plan with Gajeel and go to my place. I'll pick you up at Fairy Hills."
"No way!"
"Yes way," he smirked. "Say no again and I'll kiss you right here, right now. I don't give a damn if people can see us. Actually that would be better so they will all know who you belonged to."
"Juv—"
"Hey, you two! Mind sharing to us what you are whispering to each other?" Cana's voice interrupted her there was a grin on the brunette's face that made Juvia blushed even more and once again all eyes were on them and Gray's hand was still caressing her thigh.
"It's none of your shit Cana so shut up," Gray snorted never looking away from her, daring her to say something he wouldn't like so he can do his threat.
Juvia swallowed and discreetly pushed Gray's perverted hand before gathering her things. "Uhm, Juvia was just saying to Fullbuster-san that she have to go now." She quickly stood up and bowed before dashing away without waiting for anyone to stop her. She went out of the cafeteria like hordes of demons were after her.
Damn. She's screwed!
ΩΩΩ
Gray's face twisted with annoyance when Juvia dashed off. She called him Fullbuster-san again and that irritates the hell out of him.
His irritation went a notch higher when he looked at his friends and saw the looks on their faces. "What!?" he barked at them with a barely contained temper.
"Owww, is our little Gray throwing tantrums because his girl run off from him?" Cana cooed annoyingly and ray glared at her that only made her laugh. "Kami this is news! Did you see how Gray looked at Juvia?" she said loudly and their friends laugh along with her. "I thought nerdy girls are not your type, Fullbuster? What happened?"
Dammit! The very reason why he never breathed a word about Juvia with his friends was that. They will tease him to no end and that's fucking annoying. But right now that's not his concern. They can make fun of him all they want and it can rain silver and cold he won't give a damn. He just want to follow Juvia.
"Yiiiieee! Juvia happened, was that what happened Gray?" it was Mira and Gray just rolled his eyes.
"Can you just quit it you morons!" he snarled. "Juvia and I are none of your concern so just fuck off!"
"So you're not going to deny it?" great! Now even Laxus Dreyar jumped into the mix. The hell, he's supposed to be not talking at all like always! "I heard what you two were whispering, you know?" the blonde man added with a teasing grin.
"Shut the fu—"
"I heard it too!" Elfman who was beside Gray butted in. "It was soooo manly!"
"What were they saying, Elfman?" Evergreen asked to her boyfriend who enthusiastically answered. "Oh, Gray my man here said that," Elfman started clearing his throat to best imitate Gray's voice. "Say no again and I'll kiss you right here, right now. I don't give a damn if people can see us. Actually that would be better so they will all know who you belonged to," the white haired man said before bursting out n laughter and Gray's fist connected at the top of his head.
"You moron!"
His face was bright red to the point it can rival Erza's hair and his friends were still making fun of him.
"Natsu! It's all your fucking fault!"
"Why are you blaming me icicle? It's not my fault you were freaking cheesy with Juvia! And I know you were doing something unde—"
A plastic plate full of food flew from Gray's hand and landed directly on Natsu's face. Damn this bastard with a gay colored hair. They can all tease him to no end but he won't let him reveal what he was doing with Juvia earlier. The girl's already embarrassed he won't add another shame on her shoulder.
What he did to Natsu turned into a full blown food fight at the cafeteria. Plates and cups went flying everywhere and when Gray found a chance to sneak away he quickly left the rowdy crowd.
He got no time for silly food fight. He wanted to go after Juvia. He'd been itching to kiss her since he saw her sitting with his friends and he just had to control his need to taste her lips because he knew she'd be so embarrass if he just kiss her in front of everyone.
His strides were long and quick as he look around for the blue haired nymph he was looking for and when he spotted the girl wearing a nun-like dress he hastily move to follow her. She's not going back to her college department building so she might not have any class and really going nowhere.
A frown etched on his forehead when he finally reached where she stopped when he saw that she's not alone and she's no longer standing. Juvia was on the floor and her books were scattered on the ground and there was a man helping her up.
His face darkened when the man who helped her up started touching Juvia's hair then her face.
What the fuck?
Gray saw red and in a blink he was beside Juvia pulling her away from the man who was still touching her and that's making him uncontrollably angry. "What the hell is going on here?" he angrily asked staring dagger at the man who has his hand suspended on the space Juvia was standing at a moment ago.
"Fullbuster—"
Gray's glare shifted from the surprised man to the shocked blunette. "Who is this guy?"
"Uhm, Juvia don't know," Juvia quickly said in a small voice. She was a little scared of the anger she could see in his eyes. The raw savageness of the way he was looking at her like she did something horrible was shocking.
"You don't know and you're letting him touch you?" What was she thinking?
"Look, man," the stranger guy interrupted them and Gray glared at him again. "We bumped into each other and I was just helping her."
The nerve of that guy to talk to him. "I'm not blind, moron. You were touching her."
"How was I supposed to help her up if I'm not going to touch her in any way?"
Gray's temper was wearing thin and this man is getting on his nerve. "I don't care if you were helping her. Why were you touching her face? No one is allowed to touch what is mine!"
"Gray!" Juvia can't believe what she was hearing. Since when did she become Gray's? Sure they had a deal but he hasn't win yet so technically she's not yet his. "You're being ridiculous, let him be," she said trying to pull him away from the man and apologetically smiled at the stranger. "I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?" Gray's brow knitted. He's really starting to hate that guy.
"Juvia was the one who bumped into him. Can you just please be reasonable?"
"Its fine miss," the stranger said with a smile that Gray didn't like.
That bastard was looking at Juvia with a silly smile on his face like he was trying to look cute in front of her. Dammit! He looked at Juvia again and that's when he saw that Juvia's eye glasses were missing. Now he knew why that moron was smiling like an idiot.
Juvia's pretty face was very much visible without her eye glasses.
Gray frantically look around and when he found what he was looking for he grabbed the eye glasses and unceremoniously put it back on Juvia before taking all her books and dragging her away.
"Where are you taking Juvia?"
"Somewhere where I can have you all to myself!"
"What?"
He did not reply until they were far away from anyone and hidden behind an old looking building.
Gray was still fuming inside with what he saw and he has to let it out. He harshly let go of Juvia's hand and threw her books that he was carrying at the old building's wall. Juvia gasped with surprise and she wasn't able to react when Gray pushed her next on the wall.
"Don't ever do that again," he said in a low menacing voice, his face just an inch away from her.
"D-do w-what?"
"Let someone else touch you."
"H-he was just trying to h—"
"I don't give a damn what he was doing. I don't care if he was helping you. I just don't want anyone touching you because I don't like the feeling I felt when I saw him holding your hand, touching your hair. Damn, it was awful. God you're driving me insane!"
"Gra—"
He did not let her finish what she was trying to say. He already did what he was craving to do. He claimed her sinfully sweet lips and it was heavenly. The taste and feeling of her lips against his made him moan and crave for more of her. His arms snaked around her waist, caressing her back then down to her hips and when his hands found her gorgeous ass he lifted her up propelling her up against the wall.
Their kiss deepened and he was ecstatic when Juvia started kissing him back. She let his tongue inside her mouth and she was moving her lips in sync with his. Kami, he was in bliss!
Juvia's hands found his hair and the feeling of her fingers raking his messy raven hair turned him on even more. The feel of her body pressed against his was almost enough to send him over the edge and he was barely holding on his control not to fuck her senseless on that very spot.
It was a painful process when he let go of her lips. Just looking at those swollen from the way he kissed her made him want to do it again. "Juvia, you have no idea what you're doing to me. You have no idea how much I want you." he said pressing his groin against her stomach just to make his point.
He's fucking hard and they just shared a kiss. They're not even naked yet and he's already ready to cum just by dry humping her.
Juvia's lustful eyes focused on him and he could see how much she was trying to control her own need. Damn she looked so sexy looking like that. "Your friends," she said. "They knew. Did you tell them?"
"Of course not!" he would never do that. "They don't know anything. What we have is special to me and I won't ruin it by telling them and letting them pry on our business. I'm not going to tell them anything unless you are officially mine."
"Natsu," she mumbled. "Natsu knew."
His face contorted. "About that, he kind of saw you. He told me and asked me about it but I didn't say anything. He was just being nosy because he kinda knows a little."
There was a short silence after that small conversation and Gray found himself enjoying that kind of silence. It's not the usual quietness he always wanted whenever his friends started being rowdy or the kind he always have whenever his alone. It was the kind of silence that brings comfort because it was shared with someone important and special to you.
"I-I have to go now," it was Juvia who spoke first and it made him smile how she forgot to use third person. Seemed like he's really capable of making her lose her focus.
His hands that were still holding her butt squeezed tight that made her moan sexily as he pulled her closer to him. He's still very much hard but he knew he have to wait before he could have her again and he's very much willing to wait patiently for her. He leaned down on the crook of her neck and his mouth latched on her tender skin, licking and sucking her seductively. Yes, he's going to wait 'till she finally admit that she remember everything they shared that night but he's going to drive her crazy with lust on the process just like what she's doing to him.
A smile crept on his lips when she moaned and arched her neck to give him more access. "Grayyy," she moaned his name and it was a music to his ears.
"Yes, little nymph?"
"What are you doing?"
"Hmmm, marking my territory?"
"Huh?"
He smiled at her innocence before moving away. He pecked on her lips before completely letting her go. "I'll pick you up at your dorm later. You're joining us at my place tonight and I'm not taking no for an answer. Wear something that will cover you up because I don't want anyone to see what's mine. Bye."
He again pecked on her lips before leaving her bewildered as to what he meant.
