Summary: None of the girls are pleased with how Gray treated Juvia. Revenge must be had.
Pairings: Juvia/Girls friendship, Juvia/Gajeel friendship, Gray/Juvia, some implied Natsu/Lucy and Gajeel/Levy if you squint.
YouTube Prompt: Fairy Tail tribute to 'If Today was your Last Day' by Nickleback.
Growing up in Fairy Tail meant that Gray was used to weird things, but this really took the biscuit.
For the first time ever, he had been kidnapped by a group of girls that weren't Juvia. Seriously! He had been walking along the street, minding his own business, and then suddenly he was grabbed from behind, had a small struggle, and then some creep covered his mouth and nose with a sleeping potion soaked cloth, knocking him out. The next thing he knew he was tied to a chair with every girl from the guild, apart from Juvia, glowering at him. Yes that even included Wendy, whose sweet, innocent, face was screwed up in a scowl.
Oh, and Gajeel. For some reason Gajeel was standing behind the girls looking menacing. He met Gray's eye and instantly started to crack his knuckles.
"What the hell?!" Gray yelled. "Have you guys lost your minds or something?"
"Gajeel," Erza said commandingly, "punch him."
Gray opened his mouth to shout some more but was suddenly knocked out in to the world of darkness when Gajeel, moving so fast that Gray never saw him, punched him hard enough that Gray could have sworn he saw birds fly round his head repeatedly.
"Welcome back to the land of the living," Mira said sweetly, "would you like some water?"
Gray blinked repeatedly as he tried to figure out just what was going on. Mira's niceness so didn't fit in with the situation, and then he remembered Erza ordered Gajeel to punch him. "What was that for?!" he cried out.
"You swore," Erza said curtly.
"So what?!" Gray snapped. "I swear all the time. So do you! What difference does it make?"
"None of us are in the mood to deal with your rudeness, Gray," Erza said coolly, "now shut up and face your punishment like a man, or I'll allow Gajeel to rough you up some more."
Gray shut his mouth quickly much to the satisfaction of everyone in the room.
"You have been a terrible excuse of manhood, Gray Fullbuster," Evergreen spoke up coldly. "Even Elfman, with all his bluster and irritating shouts of how things are manly, is more of a man than you are right now."
"Yes," Lisanna agreed angrily, "Nii-san would have never made a girl cry!"
"When did I make one of you cry?!"
"Not us, Gray," Lucy said as she stroked her whip in a very terrifying and dangerous manner. "Think!" she hissed. "Not all of us are here."
He glanced at the room, Mira and Lisanna were wearing matching glares, Bisca was polishing her gun, Evergreen, Laki, Levy, and Cana all crossed their arms, Wendy looked uncharacteristically angry, Charle scowled, Erza looked like she could commit murder, and even Kinana stood quietly in a corner giving him a disapproving look.
The only girl who wasn't here (apart from Asuka but Gray doubted they meant her) was Juvia….
Juvia who he had been very rude to.
Juvia who so very kindly made him that nice, warm, scarf.
Juvia who looked really upset when he stormed off in a huff.
Ah crap.
"Look," Gray said a little panicked, "I didn't mean to upset Juvia! Today was just a bad day and who the hell celebrates four hundred and thirteen days together?!"
"Let me punch him again," Gajeel suddenly growled.
"No!" Levy slapped him lightly on the hand. "Let us deal with it first and then maybe you can punch him again."
Gray really didn't like the sound of that. Especially since Gajeel sniggered in his usual weird style and smirked viciously in Gray's direction.
"We can understand why you're upset," Cana surprisingly spoke up in a gentle voice. "We all know what it is like to lose someone." Everyone in the room nodded. "However," Cana suddenly punched her first into her hand in a threatening manner, "that is no excuse to be so rude to a girl whose only crime was to give a damn about you. After all, Lucy lost both of her parents, and you don't see her being mean to Natsu when he stalks her on the anniversary of their death."
"That's right – wait," Lucy spun to Cana "Natsu does what?!"
No one bothered to answer that because if Lucy hadn't noticed then she was as oblivious as Gray…..ah fuck, he really is an idiot, isn't he?
"So what are you going to do with me?" Gray asked a little fearfully. "Because I'd do anything to make it up to her."
"Anything, Gray?" Mira asked.
"Yes, anything."
"Excellent…."
Gray's heart started beating faster and for the first time in a very long time he was actually sweating as all the girls smirked evilly and took a step closer.
They all raised a hand.
He closed his eyes waiting for the full force of their wrath to descend upon him.
"You can choose!" Mira giggled. "Baking, sewing, knitting, arts and crafts, woodwork, metal work, or writing."
"Huh?!"
Gray's eyes popped open as he realised the girls were now holding out different items. Some were wielding pots and pans, others were holding needles and clothe, or wool, and some were waving paint and glue about.
"You hurt Juvia on your four hundred and thirteenth anniversary," Erza reminded him, "and you were really rude when she presented you a gift that she worked very hard to make for you. Therefore your punishment is to make her something for your four hundred and fourteenth anniversary."
"What?!" Gray squeaked. "But-but-but-"
"It's that," Laki said, her eyes glowing a demonic gold behind her glasses, "or I get to use everything I made in my room on you."
"….pass me the glitter glue, please."
And therefore, after escaping the evils of Juvia's body pillow, Gray had to grudgingly pass her the glittery card he made under pressure (Gajeel still crackled his knuckles every time he saw him), and encourage Juvia's feelings even more.
Damnit, so much for being straight with her.
