GRUVIA WEEK 2016
DAY 1: MEMORY
PAIRING: GRAY X JUVIA
SERIES: FAIRY TAIL
Type: One Shot

Gray was not supposed to be there. Gray was definitely not supposed to be there. He hit his own head with his palm. He had six essays, three case dissections and a terror-professor to face the next day. Gray was definitely, definitely not supposed to be there.

As soon as the lights dimmed, the chatters and murmurs around them dissolved into silence. Gray adjusted his black tie. Like the rest of the people in the theater, he was all dressed to the nines for tonight's event. His mind flew back to the case papers sitting on his desk back home. The raven-haired loosened his tie and heaved out a long breath.

He was screwed.

Gray turned his attention to the excited blue eyes seated beside him. Juvia always had that effect on him. Her mere presence calmed Gray. Suddenly, the cautious third-year law student had no care in the world.

He was totally screwed.

Juvia faced him with a smile that mirrored his – satisfied and happy.

He was totally screwed and whipped.

Gray was never a fan of musicals. For him, it was at most tolerable. They were already half-way through Cats when he felt himself drifting away. He had to thank his two-hour sleep for that. His two-hour sleep and the round and expressive voice singing "Memory".

By the end of the musical, Gray was already in dream heaven.

Nevertheless, Juvia was moved. She knew how busy and serious Gray's schedule was. Still, he took some time off it to spend with her. That's why she didn't budge when, even just in the middle of the play, Gray's ruffled hair was already tickling her cheek. His head fell on her shoulders and she let him.

At the end of Cats, Juvia gave her boyfriend a light nudge. Not wanting to startle him from his sleep. She had to silently apologize to the other guests passing them by. The bluenette and musical-enthusiast knew how grave of an insult it was.

"Gray-sama, it's time to go." She whispered.

It was blue eyes that stared Gray when he finally opened his. He looked around him only to see a vacated hall.

"Is it over?"

Juvia nodded in response.

"I'm sorry I fell asleep."

"Don't worry about it, Gray-sama." Juvia gathered the raven-haired's coat and helped him up.

The couple decided to walk home since Juvia's dormitory was just a few blocks away from the theater and so was Gray's apartment. Besides, it would give them more time together.

"Thank you for coming to see the play with Juvia, Gray-sama. Juvia knows it's not Gray-sama's thing."

"That's okay. I loved…" Gray wanted to say 'watching' when he remembered he did fell asleep before the second act. "…being physically there with you."

Juvia chortled.

Gray did have a good sense of humor. He amusingly watched her girlfriend throw her head back laughing. That's a show he never wanted to miss.

"Still, thank you, Gray-sama."

Gray held Juvia's hand in his and pulled her closer to him. Only a few people were out on the streets that night. Most of them were coming out of the theater, just like the couple standing in the middle of the street. Gray kissed the back of his girlfriend's palm, his smiling eyes not leaving hers. The latter nervously chuckled. Even being together for months now, Juvia was still shy about displaying public affection.

The raven-haired took of his coat and put it around Juvia's shoulders. He fixed the coat's collar as he stared at her beautiful blue eyes.

"You're always welcome."

Gray pulled the coat's collar against him and leaned in, brushing his lips against Juvia's. He snaked his hand behind the small of her back and pulled her closer against him. His other hand cupped her cheek. Juvia's enthusiastic response prompted the raven-haired to deepen the kiss. They were both so lost in the magic of that kiss that they forgot where they were.

Gray was not supposed to be there. But he's glad that he was because every moment of that night was etched in his memory.
