Based on FT: 100 Year Quest chapter 113 cover, you know what it is ;)
Juvia was paced around her room in her pyjama set, biting her lip as she glanced at the clock. One thing Juvia admitted was she wasn't particularly great at being patient. Although she was sure the guild might argue differently.
'I'd imagined he'd be finished by now, right?' she thought to herself.
All day she had been waiting for the clock to turn to 7pm, perfectly timing her entire day so she'd be fed, showered and ready for that exact time. But currently it was 5 past, and she just couldn't keep still.
She glanced at the lacrima phone lying on her bed and turned her head away, knowing however long she looked at the phone, it wasn't going to make him call any sooner.
She sighed and wriggled her toes in her fluffy cream carpet she was pacing upon, thinking of the reasons why he was late calling, but her thoughts were interrupted by a jiggle going off and the lacrima screen lighting up.
She almost pounced on the thing, but managed to keep hold of her nerves and wait for the second jiggle before answering. She couldn't make out that she had been waiting all day for the thing to ring, although that's exactly what he would assume she'd been doing.
'Hello?' She said in a small voice. She'd never owned a personal lacrima before as she never thought of much use for it, but the last time Team Natsu had magically appeared once again in their guild, Gray had gotten her one before they had to leave again. Saying something about not knowing how long this mission will go on for, or when they next might be back for a break, and it'd be good for them to keep in touch for the time in between.
'Hey', a husky voice replied back.
Juvia screamed internally. She didn't realise how much she missed his voice and why it had to sound so much sexier over lacrima.
'Hi' she breathed. It was actually working. Gray was mavis knows where across the world, but now he was basically right in Juvia's ear, the thought almost making her giggle.
'Is that all you're going to say?' Gray replied with a chuckle.
Juvia started to panic, 'ummmmm…'.
With her excitement taking all her attention, no words or conversational ideas were forming in her mind.
Gray laughed again at the usual whirlwind that lived in that girl's head. 'It's all right, so how was your day?'
Her day? What did she do apart from prepare for this call? She couldn't tell him that! 'Ah it was fine thankyou Gray-sama, just a usual day at the guild really. How was yours?
'Ah it was a busy one. We left the map with Natsu for a split second and somehow ended up in a small village in the complete opposite way, but for the most part it's been fine.'
Juvia chuckled at the tale of her hectic friends, 'So a typical day for you then as well.' she said with a smile. 'Do you know your plan for your next location?'
'Hmmmm, I think Erza has managed to find us back onto the right path, then onto the next dragon location really. Sorry I can't go into too much detail about the mission…'
Juvia responded with a hmmm. She sat back on her heels on her bed, cuddling her gray sama love pillow she always kept there.
'Although you'd love it at this place we've ended up at, I think there's some festival going on around the main castle walls. We'll have to try and find this place again and join in next time.'
Juvia's heart swelled, she was still getting used to these odd moments for Gray when he planned their 'not-date' dates, whether he realised it or not. 'I'd really like that Gray-sama'.
There were some bickering voices in the back, and Gray let out a slightly irritated sigh. 'Looks like I better get back to the group, sorry we didn't get to talk for long'.
'No worries Gray-sama, it was nice to hear your voice'.
'...yours too, and… I hope getting you the lacrima wasn't too strange. I just thought that even when we're apart…'
'Our hearts will always be connected!' Juvia finished triumphantly.
"Sure Juvia.' Gray said with a low laugh. That wasn't exactly what he was going to say, but it seemed to please her. 'Talk soon, cya.'
'Bye Gray-sama!'
The line disconnected to Juvia's dismay, but she rolled onto her back and squealed again, legs wiggling in the air. She suddenly froze to make sure the line was fully disconnected, and seeing the screen blank she carried on her mini celebration.
Juvia was curious how often Gray would end up calling her, but knowing he had found them a way to communicate when they were apart filled her with joy and she was excited to see what else will change between them in the future.
