A/N I just can't keep this out of my head. So idea came to mind when my teacher told us how her daughter behaves when her dad is back from the sea (his job). They're not close so she's shy around him and also very possessive of her mother. Hahaha. Even pushes his hand away when he tries to be sweet around the mom. lol. So here... imagine a Gruvia tsun and obsessed son. :)
He's Not My Dad!
His small but toned arms struggled to push the full-grown lady out of his bedroom. He managed to shove her out but she kept forcing herself in, pushing his door inwards. And damn was she strong.
"I told you, mom. I can change by myself."
"But Storm-chan is only seven."
One of the strongest women in the guild, in-fact.
Juvia's seven-year old son changed his strategy. He set his back against the door, bent his legs to gain momentum and pushed his entire body with all his might.
"I'm a man!"
He grunted after hearing his mother's soft chuckle at his announcement.
"Alright. Mommy will leave now." Juvia gave up in the end. "But please, Storm-chan, wear clothes this time."
Storm's seven-year-old body slammed against the door when his mother stopped fighting him with it. He heaved a loud sigh of relief when he heard his mother's footsteps fading downstairs. But the scowl on his face seemed permanent.
"Of course, I'll wear clothes. I'm not like that old man."
"Storm? Pants."
Storm screamed in mortification after realizing he wasn't wearing the trousers he put on earlier. He searched the guild frantically for his missing pants and put it on as soon as he found it. His obasan – Mirajane Strauss, who called him out for his lack of clothing, smiled at the similarities he shared with one particular ice-mage.
The little sighs and little swoons coming from the girls' table caught the little boy's attention.
"He is one of the best mages of his time."
"Ah! He is such an amazing man."
Finally, Storm gave in to his curiosity and walked over to them.
"I want to marry a man just like Gray-jisan!"
Storm's little ears perked up when he heard that name. He scoffed at Gray's Sorcerer Weekly cover, which the girls took an offense to.
"Hey!" The three girls cried in unison, giving the offensive boy a dirty look.
"You girls like that kind of man?"
Storm maintained a cool look.
"How pitiful."
The pretty little girls jumped out of their skin. They hovered over the raven-haired boy, sporting a murderous aura.
"What did you say?"
Storm felt his hair rise. He took a few steps back, putting some distance between him and Gray's crazy fan girls.
"W-w-w-wait."
His cute little bum bumped against the nearest table. He placed both his hands in front of him, ready to use the magic he learned from his mother when push comes to shove. He shut his eyes and summoned his magic power. But death didn't come for him.
"Storm, your shirt."
"EEHP!"
Somehow, he lost his butterfly printed tee along the way.
He found it discarded on the floor, picked it up and hurriedly slipped in it. The trio returned to their seats and continued flipping the page with hearts in their eyes like nothing happened.
"But, isn't Gray-jisan your dad?"
"He's not my dad!" Storm Fullbuster turned tomato denying the man on the magazine cover.
The three pairs of eyes bounced their eyes between the photo on the magazine and the breathing form in front of them. Wondering why Storm was even trying to oppose the idea when he was actually the spitting image of the man in the photo.
"Besides, aren't you too young to read something like that?"
The oldest of the trio, the one with the long scarlet hair braided in one long tail, spoke.
"Mother said it's not too early to learn how to read." Eru crossed her arms against her chest, abandoning the plan to hurt Storm for a moment to lecture him.
"Reading is useless."
"Did you say something?"
"EEHP!"
Storm felt cold, eerie wind slap the back of his neck. He didn't need to turn around to see his Erza-basan wrapped in her infamous dark aura. But still, he did.
"N-n-nothing seventh."
Erza smiled at him, laughing inwardly for scaring the hell out of the little boy.
Just like his dad. She thought.
She patted his head in an affectionate manner, trying to make him more comfortable with her presence. The Seventh Guild Master, remembering the reason she approached the bunch, handed him the sealed document.
"Will you bring this to your house for me?"
Storm stared at the letter for a moment, eyeing it at every angle as if doing so would show him the contents. Erza wagged a finger in front of him.
"Uh-uh-uh. Official guild business."
He nodded at her and grabbed the letter from her hands.
"Yes, Seventh."
And before Erza could say her parting words, Storm's spiky raven-hair disappeared in a blur of motion.
"He didn't even bother to properly say goodbye to his guild master."
Eru stood beside the Seventh in a stance that replicated the latter's. Erza could just smile.
The young raven-haired rushed to his house, wanting to rip open the letter Erza-basan just handed him. He was such in a hurry he didn't notice he was slipping out of his clothes again.
"Mom! Mom!" Storm called out before he could even open the door. He rushed inside, already on his bare feet. He stopped dead on his tracks when he saw an unfamiliar figure sitting on their dining table. The man had his back at him so he couldn't see his face. He took a few steps forward to take a closer look, considering if the man was a threat. But when he saw the stranger holding his mother's hand, the storm was unleashed.
"Water Slicer!"
But the water blades Storm created dissolved upon contact with an ice shield. He prepared for another attack but his hands immediately dropped when the stranger spoke.
"So? He learned your water magic?"
Storm saw his mother nod in response. A contented smile plastered on her face. The stranger spun and turned to him and the young boy was too surprised to move. Gray walked leisurely towards his son, still maintaining his laid-back demeanor. He lowered himself and leveled his midnight eyes with his.
"You should learn my ice-make too. That's unfair if you're just going to work on your mother's magic."
Gray's wide grin was wiped out by a single punch from his own son.
Storm Fullbuster huffed, his shoulders rising and falling with his breathing. Seven years of frustration and anger built up inside him and it overwhelmed him. He prepared his second punch and ready to throw it when his worried mother rushed to him and threw her hands around him to keep him from moving.
"Storm-chan, please don't hurt dad."
"I guess that's my fault."
The atmosphere at the guild was extra festive that morning. The members celebrated the return of one of their own with a hero's welcome. But one certain raven-haired wasn't in the mood to celebrate.
"Oi, Storm! Why aren't you joining the party for your dad?"
Storm immediately rose to his feet. He balled his hands into fists and yelled at the unknowing Eru, face all red.
"He's not my dad!"
"Idiot! You look like him!"
Storm crossed his arms against his chest and turned his back against Eru, which he knew drove her off the wall.
"So? That doesn't make him my dad. He's just a guy who really likes my mom."
"That's not true."
Both heads turned to the owner of the voice. Gray stepped out from behind the scarlet-haired with Juvia's hand held in his.
"I love your mother." The ice-mage gazed lovingly at his wife beside him, pairing it up with a satisfied smile that she gladly returned. "And you are the product of that love."
Gray didn't see it coming. Next thing he knew, his son's impressive water nebula sent him flying at the other end of the room.
"Mom is mine!" Storm declared.
If there was one thing Storm Fullbuster hated, it was sharing his mother's affection.
"Ah, I guess he got Juvia-chan's personality."
And the whole guild broke into loud laughter.
Phew! It was hard to come out for children names. Hope you enjoyed it! And please do leave reviews. I eat reviews for breakfast. Bwahahahaha.
PS: Anyone here reading Naruto Gaiden? I love Sarada! Next drabble will be inspired by her and Sasuke and Sakura. Basically the Triple S family. :)
