I do not own Fairy Tail.

It belongs to Mashima-sama. I'm just a fan trying to make a story about my OTP!

ΩΩΩ

Hi there guys I'm so sorry for this late update.

Hoping you'll like it.

ΩΩΩ

Normally Gray Fullbuster is a patient kind of person. He's known for always being able to keep his cool in every situation but as he stood near his front door he's feeling a little impatient – no, that's an understatement of what he's feeling as his eyes keep on checking out his front door.

Obviously, he's waiting for someone to show up on his door.

There's no need to ask who he is waiting for. Everyone in the same room as him knows that the frown on his forehead was because a certain bluenette is yet to show up in his apartment.

Earlier he got a message from his friend, Erza Scarlet, that he should not bother picking up Juvia from her dorm because she'll come along with his friends coming from Fairy Hills. He insisted that he wanted to pick her up since that's what they talked about, or what he told her he would do whether she like it or not, but Erza being Erza threaten him not to even set foot at the Fairy Hill's grounds.

So there he was, waiting.

He agreed on Natsu's idea to trash his apartment for a movie night with the gang simply because he wants Juvia in his apartment and he can't wait for her to be there. The boys were already there and starting to turn his place from a neat bachelor's pad to a completely disastrous place. They already choose bottles of wine from his father's wine collection that he transferred from his parent's house into his very own cellar that his friends love to feast on all the chance they get.

In his kitchen he could hear his friends making ruckus as Natsu was already devouring half of the food they prepared and ordered for their movie night but he don't give a fuck. He's too focused on waiting for a certain someone to pass through his front door.

What the heck is taking them so long! He silently asked himself out of annoyance. If he went to Fairy Hills just like he initially planned he'd be back already with Juvia but he just have to follow Erza.

Damn, he's feeling so fucking restless just simply because Juvia is not yet there. I had no idea why he's feeling that way. All the things that woman is making him feel were all knew to him. The way he's always craving to touch her. To taste her sweet lips. It's all making him crazy!

He's at the edge of his patience when his front door opened and his neck almost snapped when he turned to see who it was. His face went sour when he saw Lisanna and Mira with Elfman carrying more foods on their tail. Gray breathed out in frustration.

"Hi Gray," Elfman greeted him with a huge grin. "That scowl in your face looks so manly." The huge man added obviously trying to annoy him even more which he seriously did not appreciate. The nerve of his friend and his way of taunting the shit out of him.

"Shut up, jerk!" he snapped.

"Men," Lisanna chuckled shaking her head as she hold the door for her brother and the lots of stuffs he's carrying. "What's with you and your ways of greeting your friend? What is so wrong with the normal hi and hello?"

"That's the manly way, lil' sis," Elfman replied and Gray just huffed. He got no time to argue with Lissana over some petty thing such as proper greetings when he actually thinks that the way girls greet each other is completely too much and not as simple as what the white haired girl just said. He's seriously losing his cool as thoughts of Juvia not showing up tonight fill his head.

What if Erza told him not to pick Juvia at the dorm because she told the red head that she really doesn't want to join them? That she doesn't want to be with him? Fuck!

Lisanna just rolled her eyes and dragged her brother to the kitchen like she owned the place. Mira on the other hand looked at him with a silly smile on her pretty face. "Waiting for your special guest, I see," she said in her sing song voice. "I never thought that I'll live to see the day that you, Gray Fullbuster, will be smitten. I thought you were as frigid as ice," she said putting stress on her last three words.

As much as Gray wanted to deny what Mira said he can't find a good alibi for his unusual actions as of lately. He perfectly knew how his friends manipulated things just so they could see what he'll do around Juvia since they got the hint that something is going on. Damn him and the desire he can't stop nor control whenever Juvia was around.

He's acting strange in his friends eyes and he knew that.

He himself can't understand what the fuck is happening to him and he wanted to know why. He wanted to explore that strange feeling. He wanted to know Juvia Lockser more though that's not his usual cup of tea. It's usually women go after him and not the other way around. The things Juvia made him do was new to him and he's enjoying each moment he spent with her. It's not just because of what happened between them. It's more than that. It's beyond physical attraction. There's something about her that pulling him and he's not doing anything to stop himself from being drawn helplessly towards her.

But his name won't be Gray Fullbuster if he's just going to admit the things he realized to the number one gossiper among his friends. "You're imagining things, Mira." He said nonchalantly, completely contrary with the truth that he's feeling uneasy while waiting for Juvia to finally show up.

Mirajane just laughed and patted his shoulder. "You can keep the façade for as long as you can." There's that innocent mirth in her eyes. "But you should see how your eyes lit up whenever you talk about her or whenever she's around. It's so refreshing to see. It makes you more human than a walking ice block all the time."

Gray wanted to disagree with what Mira said just to say something about it but his door opened again and that time it was Erza followed by Cana that came in. The two were talking and seemed not to care about the people inside his apartment. He waited for the others to come in after the two and in just few moments he saw Lucy who quickly looked for Natsu who was still devouring half of the foods in the kitchen.

The door closed again and his face dimmed when there's no Juvia that follows the blonde.

The frown on his forehead deepened. "Erza," he called out to his friend who immediately faced him. "Where is Juvia?"

Erza looked perplexed with his question and looked back on the door. "She was with us," She replied. "I was talking with Cana and she was with Levy and Lucy."

Gray's gaze quickly darted on the blonde not caring that on Erza's face was a hint of teasing smile. "Lucy," he called out. "Where is Juvia?"

A playful smile lifted the sides of Lucy's mouth and it took all of Gray's will power not to roll his eyes and just waited for her to answer. Screw them all for silently making fun of him. "She's with Levy," She said. "Levy forgot her phone in the car and Juvia went back with her at the parking lot. Don't worry too much about your blue bubble of affection, Gray, she'll be here shortly," she explained and gave him an irritating wink.

Making an annoyed face Gray turned his back to his friends. They're all lunatics and he won't be surprised to know that they are making fun of him in the most irritating way. They can do whatever pleases them at the moment as long as he's sure that Juvia is really going to be there with him. If she doesn't show up in five minutes he'll throw his friends out of his apartment.

He flopped down on his couch grumpily. He won't be waiting like shit if he only sticks on his original plan. Damn Erza Scarlet and her threats. He has that strong feeling that it's all his friends' idea to make Erza ask him not to pick Juvia up just to piss him off and it's working.

His grumpy mood disappeared the last time the door opened. Came through it was Levy who looked somehow unusually serious compared to her normally happy self followed by the shy looking Juvia Lockser.

Finally a smile formed on his lips when he saw her and it widens when he saw what she's wearing.

Juvia had on her usual brown knee high leather boots, a black leather jeans and a wrap-around white coat quite similar to his favourite coat, it's just more feminine to fit such a beautiful young woman like her. She's all cover up just like what he wanted. He quickly stood up to greet her. It's quite obvious he'd been itching to see her. But Cana, the always there to ruin his moves, beat him on to it. The brunette attacked Juvia with a big hug and a loud squeal even before he could take a step towards the blue haired girl.

"Juvia, my dear! You look so lost, why won't you grace everyone with a smile?" Cana said loudly catching everyone's attention. She's acting like Juvia was not with her on the car going to Gray's apartment. "It's your first time to join us in one of our intimate party so don't be shy!"

The already shy girl flushed with all the attention she's getting from his crazy friends and Gray wanted to wring Cana's neck for that. He doesn't like the idea that someone else is making her blush may it be his very own friend or not. He's the only one that should be making her all flushed like that and no one else.

Juvia awkwardly smiled as their eyes met. His irritation instantly melted and he smiled back at her. Odd enough his heart skipped a few beats when he saw how her cheeks turned darker as they exchange glances. She looked so beautiful and gladly it was him who made her turned beet red.

But his smile was wiped out of his face when Cana playfully took off Juvia's jacket despite the bluenette's obvious hesitation. His jaw clenched and his temper snapped when he saw what she had underneath that white coat he was admiring just only a minute ago.

To say that she's feeling uncomfortable was not enough to describe what Juvia felt when she entered Gray's apartment and all eyes turned to her. Everyone in there were looking at her like they were all waiting for her to show up and that's making her feel so uneasy. She kind of have an idea why they were all like that and that's not helping to the embarrassment she's feeling. Not to mention that on the way to Gray's place the girls from Fairy Hill's were interrogating her about her relationship with their known frigid friend.

She's been bombarded with lots of question since she came back to the girl's dorm from the university. The girls were asking her how she managed to went through Gray Fullbuster's ice walls that he surrounds himself with which she had no idea how to answer. Was she supposed to say that the only thing she did was to get herself drugged on the last party she attended and woke up in bed naked with their friend?

That surely won't be quite appropriate to share with anyone specially that she's still denying the fact that she actually remember what happened that night. Truth be told she don't remember ever forgetting what happened. The memories of that night were engraved in her very being.

Since she could not satisfy the girls with the lame excuses and explanation she gave them they took it in their hands to know what's the thing between her and Gray. Thus their silly plans emerged. Juvia was dragged in what Cana called operation Make-Gray-Reveal-the-real-deal.

Honestly speaking she has no idea what they were talking about and just let them do whatever they want when they showed up in her room as she was waiting for Gray to pick her up like what he said and she knew he would do. She was surprised when they said she'll be going with them but did not complain simply because they did not give her a choice.

And there she was standing awkwardly and blushing like silly as everyone greeted her after Cana loudly welcome her like they were not together on the way there. She's surrounded with Gray's friend, the same people she'd been hanging out a lot lately and their warm smiles somehow ease her uneasiness but the weight of someone's stare was making the hair on her nape stir and without looking she already knew who was staring at her.

There's only one person as of lately who can make her feel like that and her guess was right when her eyes shifted to the man standing not too far from her. Her cerulean eyes met the familiar dark eyes of the man who always manage to make her feel jumpy in quite a delicious way all the time he's too close to her.

The way Gray was looking at her made her throat dry and there was fluttery feeling in her tummy when his eyes raked her appearance like he genuinely appreciate what he's 's all covered up like he said and the way he was looking at her felt so erotic in a way she can't explain. In his eyes was a glint of something dark and his smile was silently telling her that he's quite pleased that he's the only one who knew what's hidden beneath her modest clothes. That glint in his eyes almost made her moan. The way he was looking at was like he was making love with her right then and there.

Get a hold of yourself, Juvia! She scolded herself. They're surrounded with his friends and it's no time for her to feel that way.

The trance she was quietly sharing with Gray was broken when she felt someone tagging on her white coat. It was Cana who was asking her to remove the coat she insisted to wear. "Come on, Juvi," Cana said urging her to take the coat off. "It's quite warm here. You won't need this thing" She added pulling it off of her shoulder and there's nothing she was able to do as the article of clothing slipped off of her now bare shoulders.

She did not plan on removing her coat at all and now she feels so ashamed standing there in front of other people wearing nothing but a size zero corset that cover nothing much. She lamely tried to take back her coat but Cana moved it away from her. "Cana-san, please. Juvia's not comfortable only wearing this small top." She tried to plead to no avail.

Cana was shaking her head. "No, Juvi. You look hot wearing that top and there's no need to be shy because you are freaking sexy! "

Underneath the coat she was just wearing dark blue corset that hugged her figure tightly and on her opinion it's too small for her because it's showing ample amount of her bosom. It was Cana and Lucy who forced her to wear that thing and she felt too exposed. She could feel the air touching her skin so she embarrassedly hugged herself to at least cover herself.

Juvia was afraid to look anywhere but the floor because she's scared to see the people around her looking at her. She failed to see how all the males in the room except Gray who had in his eyes a very dark expression averted their eyes away from her. She suddenly felt strong hand harshly pulling her arm and dragging her from the living room and into somewhere away from the others. She heard a door closing and the lock clicking before she was pinned on the wall a bit forceful and staring directly in a pair of angry dark eyes.

"What the fuck are you wearing?" Gray hissed angrily. It's so clear that he's not so pleased with what he saw just like what Cana said he would be when he sees her wearing that sorry excuse of a clothe. She could say that he's pretty pissed and ready to rip off the corset off of her.

Then you would be completely bare in front of him, her mind whispered. Wanna guess where that would lead?

Juvia shook her head and before she could answer Gray's question he loudly yelled at the door that almost made her jump. "Fuck off you bastards or I'll throw you'll out of my house!" she was bewildered for a moment before she heard shuffling of feet just outside the door and voices whispering to each other.

Oh kami, it's so embarrassing!

All of Gray's friends saw what he just did. He just dragged her to – Juvia looked around where she is and her eyes almost fell out of their sockets when she saw where Gray dragged her. She's in a freaking bedroom – probably his – with him! What would everyone think now?

"Why did you drag Juvia here?" she blurted out.

His eyes glared at her. "I asked you first," he hissed again. "What were you thinking wearing that shit knowing that you'll be around with my male friends?"

Juvia brows knitted. She did not like the tone he's using on her. He sounded like he has all the right in the universe to decide what she should and should not do. "What Juvia was thinking has nothing to do with you!" she fired back at him before hesitation consumes her reasons. "Juvia will wear what she wants and you can't do anything about that."

"But I told you to cover up! Have you forgotten that too?" he exasperatedly said.

"And you think just because you said it that I will do it?" she snapped back. "You got no right to dictate what Juvia should do! You don't own me and you have no right to decide for me!"

There was silence after her outburst and even the murmuring of the people listening outside the door died down. Gray looked like he was woken from a deep sleep with a hard slap. His face turned stoic like a hard stone.

"Is that so?"

Unintentionally, Juvia swallowed because her throat suddenly felt so dry. The coldness of his voice made her shiver internally. "I—What I mean-"

"What you mean is very clear," he cut her off. "You're not mine so I don't get to decide for you. My words—even my slightest request weight nothing on you."

"G-Gray—"

"Then let's see until when that you're not mine," he said again seemingly not hearing he called out his name. His already dark eyes turning darker and burning with passion that very much familiar with her. "You did give me time to remind you that I already owned you once, little nymph. I'll make you remember how much I own you."

Without thinking Juvia closed her eyes when Gray bent down towards her. She was expecting to feel his hot lips on hers but it never came. She felt his breath on his left ears instead, their cheeks touching a little as he whispered to her. "I won't ask you again to do anything but I swear to God that I'll make you remember me. Us. Tangled in each other's arms, moaning and dancing in the rhythm of the old primal passion. Making love like there's no tomorrow. You'll be the one who's going to ask me to take you again. To own you again. "

It took all of her not to moan when Gray bit her earlobe and nibble on it. His tongue slightly licking her sensitive skin before moving away and staring intently in her eyes. "Right now all I could think of is kissing every single inch of you," his voice was hoarse and his eyes burn with passion. "And make you scream my name like you did that night without a care if people can hear us because what only matter to me is you," he added, their lips almost touching. "But I won't do that. Not unless you ask for it. Beg for it."

"That night was a mistake." She replied willing her heart to stay still inside her chest. She's afraid he might hear it. She's no longer sure if she's nervous or excited with what he said. His eyes were full of promise of passion and the wicked part of her wants to succumb to it but the rational part of her is still fighting for her to think clearly. To be reasonable and the reasonable thing to do is to stay away from this man but unfortunately her body liked their proximity.

She's not just fighting him and denying him of the truth. She's fighting herself too.

It's just too dangerous to tread on that unknown water. She might find herself drowning without anyone to save her. She might drown trying to reach this man who wants to own her. But does she care about anything right at that moment than the promise of something wonderful that she could see in his eyes?

Gray smirked and she gulped. "That's quite a wonderful mistake. I could never regret that one in the next century to come... and soon you will admit that you never forget it too."

ΩΩΩ
