Happy Gruvia Week Everyone!
Day 1: Breathless
People say that there's nothing more exhilarating than to love and be loved. To experience the happiness of having someone to cherish you, and to have someone you can cherish in return.
As Gray basked under the sun, enjoying the warm feeling it gives him, a smile was visible on his lips. If anyone saw him looking like that, they might think he's gone nuts. But he's quite far away from his guildmates, so the chances were slim.
They were back at Ryuzetsu Land because according to whoever suggested it the other day, Fairy Tail Guild members deserve a vacation day and they should spend it in a beautiful place.
It was a wonder how they managed to get into the water park given the fact that they practically demolished the place last time. But Gray wasn't concerned about any of that. He's quite busy with his own musings.
Recently after his return from the longest mission of his life along with his team, his relationship with the Fairy Tail's resident water mage became much clearer and things were going well between them. He couldn't help but think that he's such a lucky bastard for finding someone who loves him and who's strong enough to give him the courage to freely love her back. Thinking about it, Juvia was indeed a wonderful woman and he'll be damned if he won't keep her after all that happened between them just to get to where they are.
As he was thinking about those things, a melodious voice called his name along with that endearment she liked to use. "Gray-sama!"
He felt Juvia sitting beside him and blocking the sunlight he was enjoying a moment ago, but he was not complaining since he preferred her presence because she sure is warmer than the sun for him. "Gray-sama," she called out again. "What are you doing here all alone? I'd been looking for you."
Gray opened one of his closed eyes and look at her. His smile stretched when he saw her pouting face. She looked so cute. "I'm just enjoying the sun and taking a break away from Natsu," he replied before pulling her down on top of him. They were in a quiet secluded place, so he got no problem being too close.
And actually, after everything they went through, he no longer gives a shit about his previous indignancies towards her advances. If he's being honest, those were just his defenses so he won't fall for her, but he still did so what's the point. "Why are you looking for me?" He asked as his hand started to caress her back. She's wearing her favorite bikini and he could perfectly feel her smooth skin.
Juvia gasped and tried to move away but Gray didn't let her. His left arm snaked around her waist, and he held her close to him. She's almost lying on top of him. "I â J â Juvia â Juvia wants to ask Gray-sama to go and t-try the Love Love S-Slider," the water mage stuttered her reply with her face aflame with the sudden proximity of her body with him.
Love Love Slider? Gray frowned when he suddenly remembered that cursed slide. Unconsciously, his eyes looked around them trying to spot someone unwanted within their vicinity. He only looked back at Juvia when he made sure that a certain silver-haired ice mage wasn't around to ruin his day.
Upon seeing his frown, Juvia thought Gray didn't like the idea. Lately, she noticed that he's okay with being close to her with other people around, but he still had his reservation, and maybe doing the Love Love slider was a bit much. "It's okay if Gray-sama doesn't want tâ"
"Let's go!" Gray cut her off with a grin as he stood up with her and practically drag her towards the long slide for couples. With all honesty, he also wanted to try that thing with Juvia given that the last time he experienced it he was with Lyon. That was quite a nasty memory and he badly wanted to alter it with something more appealing. If he's going to ever recall that Love Love Slider, he'd rather remember holding Juvia against him instead of seeing Lyon's ugly face in his head.
Gray was holding Juvia's hand as they walk, and it made the blunette smile. This scene used to be only a part of her wild daydreams before but it's a reality now.
When they reached the starting point of the slide, there were no other couples there, so they didn't have to line up. "Are you sure it's really okay, Gray-sama?" Juvia asked to make sure that Gray really wanted to do it. The last time they were there, things went out of hand and she's not looking forward to a repeat of that.
Gray just chuckled and held her closer to him. "I'm sure. Let's go already before some unwanted people show up and ruin this for me a second time." He said the last part in a murmur and Juvia didn't really understand what he said. She just yelped when Gray tightly embraced her and unceremoniously jumped into the water slide with her in his arms.
The slide was long and there were many slopes with the strong water current carrying them through it. Juvia had to hold Gray tightly, so they won't get separated. "You okay?" Gray asked with his arms tightly wrapped around her.
Juvia just smiled with a deep blush on her face and averted his gaze. She's really happy that she's with Gray at the moment but she just can't help feeling a little shy. Who wouldn't be? She's been pining over him for the longest time and they're finally together.
Looking at her, Gray can't help but chuckle at how cute she was. She's always the one to take the initiative for intimacy but also the first one to be embarrassed about it. It was so adorable. Gray couldn't handle the cuteness anymore. "Juvia," he called her as his right hand moved up to her nape. When she looked back at him, Gray pulled her towards him, his lips meeting hers.
Juvia's world seemed to stop moving when their lips touched and all she could hear was the loud beating of her heart. She was too surprised that she couldn't react immediately. It wasn't their first kiss, but it was the first they had in public. Sure no one could really see them clearly, but they were still out there in the open. She was still shocked when she felt Gray gently biting her lower lip. She knew what he wanted and so she parted her lips. Juvia moaned when he slipped his tongue inside her mouth. She's not sure if Gray knew that he's a good kisser but he always made her toes curl when he's putting his mouth into good use such as kissing her senselessly.
It was supposed to be a quick kiss, but once Gray tasted her lips, he couldn't stop his urges anymore. Juvia was just like saltwater, the more he drank the thirstier he gets. Gray groaned when he felt her lips finally moving against his and his arms around her tighten when her tongue mimicked what his tongue was doing.
God, she's addicting!
Just a taste wasn't enough.
Every time he kissed her, he just needed to have more of her.
He's not sure if it was just him but he's sure Juvia tasted divine. She's like a sweet rain after a long summer, like a promised treat after a long hard day. And she felt so warm, the kind of warmth that made him want to cuddle more like a kid seeking his blanket on a cold winter day.
She felt like home and kissing her was like coming home.
Gray had to smile while kissing Juvia when he felt her playfully biting his lower lip before gently soothing it with her tongue just like the way he did with hers. And he couldn't help but laugh into the kiss when Juvia pinched his hand that was caressing her back when he tried to move it down to her butt.
Her gentle nibbling on his lips became a little harder like she was warning him to behave though they were already putting on a show for anyone who dared to look their way. He hummed and continued to ravish her lips, satisfying his need for her with her sweet kisses.
Well, the hell he cared about other people looking at them. He's quite enjoying himself. He just continued to make out with Juvia unaware that they already reached the end of the slide. Gray just felt their bodies plunge into the water and as they sink together, their lips were still connected.
Slowly he could feel the air in his lungs draining but he just can't let go of her.
He's breathless but if this was the way he's going to die, he'll die a happy man.
But Juvia won't let that happen.
With one last bite on his lips, she pulled them both into the surface and they both gasp for air.
They didn't say a word as they filled their lungs with air in each other's arms with obvious mirth on their flushed faces.
So my Fanfic entry is late but this was not the only entry I made for Day 1. The cover photo of this pic was my original entry posted on twitter and tumblr. I just thought, why not make a fanfic too. I'm working on Day 2 prompt but I already have a fanart for it too.
Gruvia Week is a decade now and the last time I participated was way too long ago so I'm trying my best for the 10th Year and if you want to check what I've been contributing this year you can check my twitter and tumblr (which I forgot I actually have) yoseinoame
