Hey again! I'm sorry that I've been away for a bit. I just moved to a new city and started a new job so I've been quite busy! Anyways, I know you're all just dying to know what happens to our precious Gruvia next…
….
As Juvia and Gray lull to sleep, the roaring flames stay awake, keeping the couple warm. The fire doesn't die until the early hours of the morning, the blizzard still raging on outside the walls of the cabin. Juvia lays next to him, head on his chest and their legs intertwined.
By the time 11 o'clock rolls around, Juvia wakes up on top of Gray, splayed out across his chest. Instead of moving or getting up, she decides to lay there, admiring him. Images of last night flash behind her eyes, remembering how he kissed her with such vulgar, like he's been waiting to do that for so long. Then came his confession. He said he loves Juvia too...Would he regret it once he's awake and completely sober? What if he decides he really just wants to remain nakamas? The insecure voice in her head whispers, filling the anxious girl with doubt.
The rain woman quietly gets up and goes to the bathroom, stripping her clothing from her body. Delicate fingers wrap around the shower knob, turning it to hot. After allowing it a few moments to heat up, she steps in and allows the blazing water to calm her nerves. Gray may have confessed, but what does that mean? Does it mean he wants to suddenly be her boyfriend?
Gray grumbles, an eye popping open at the sound of the shower going. 'Why isn't she here and why didn't she wait for me?' The demon slayer thinks, brows knitting together. Did she regret sleeping with him so much that she ran away before he could wake up next to her? No...This is Juvia we're talking about. There's no way. At least, that's what he tells the voice in his head that roots from his insecurities. Yes, they both have them. Gray gets up and does what he does best...He strips. Once he is shed from the confinements of his clothes, he goes into the bathroom and climbs into the shower right behind Juvia who is washing her face.
Juvia doesn't hear him enter over the sound of the water, the girl completely unaware of his presence until she turns around and meets his eyes. "Gray-sama!" The bluenette shrieks, nearly falling over. Strong hands grip her arms, keeping her upright.
"What? Weren't expecting me? I'm a little insulted that you didn't wait for me." He pouts mockingly, a twinkle of playfulness behind his irises.
"Gray-sama wanted to shower with Juvia…?" She gazes up at him cluelessly, head tilted a little to the side.
The raven haired male chuckles, shaking his head at her. Oh, this woman. He literally just told her I love you and had sex with her last night and she's surprised he wants to shower with her? A mischievous smile spreads across his lips as he turns the girl, pressing her up against the shower wall. "Why of course...I wouldn't want to miss this view." His eyes trail down her body then back up to her eyes, noticing how they darken.
Her bottom lip finds its way in between her teeth, eyes daring to glance down at his mouth. Maybe he did still want her after all…
Gray licks his lips in response, instantly moving forward to meet her mouth in an intense liplock. His teeth tug at her bottom lip, sucking it into his mouth with such vigor. The action rewards him a strangled moan from the girl as she hikes a leg over his hip, desperate to get closer. The ice mage rolls his hips forward, groaning at the friction that causes blood to shoot straight down.
"Gray-sama…" She wantonly pants against his lips, her fingers moving to tangle in his hair. She pulls at the locks as his mouth pulls away from her and begins to leave hot kisses down her jawline then to her neck. Teeth begin to nip at the silky skin of her neck, the possessive side of him having urges to mark her as his own. Who knows how long they'd be trapped in here? No one besides him would see it…
Without needing any more convincing, his lips begin to suck at the nape of her neck, biting gently a few times as he leaves a dark mark against the contrast of her pale skin. Her eyes slam shut as she moans again, secretly liking the fact that he's leaving a hickey on her. She's always wanted one, especially from him. 'This'll show all my love rivals!' The water mage celebrates in her head.
He lets go of the skin with a pop, grinning at the mark that appeared. "You're all mine." Gray practically growls before assaulting her breasts. His teeth nip along her breasts, leaving little love marks in its wake before finding a nipple. Lips encircle the rosy bud, sucking as Juvia mewls under his ministrations. "Please, Gray-sama...Juvia needs you…" She manages to choke out the words, crying out as his fingers find her clit, rubbing in tight circles.
"How badly?"
"Badly! Please, Gray-sama!" She calls out impatiently before her voice drops a few octaves, moving her mouth to his ear. "Fuck Juvia."
His eyes widen at the vulgar statement, not expecting such colorful language. However, it turns him on nonetheless. I guess it really is true what they say, shy in the streets, sexy in the sheets.
Gulping at her words, his arms lift her up, long legs wrapping around his waist as her back rests against the shower wall. Her arms wind around his neck to keep herself secure, waiting in anticipation as he brings his tip to her dripping entrance. Thrusting his hips forward, he allows his head to enter her, groaning as her warm walls welcome him.
"So fucking tight…" Gray grunts, sliding into her slowly so she's able to adjust to his length.
Her nails dig into the skin of his back yet again, clawing at him as he fully sinks inside of her. The water mage moans at the feeling of being completely filled up, hazy eyes clouded with desire staring into his. "Can I?"
"Please." She responds with no hesitation, rocking her hips into his as he begins to move at a steady pace. Her eyes close, pulling him all the way against her, voluptuous breasts sweeping across his chest with every move. One of his hands holds her ass tight while the other one wedges its way in between their bodies, rubbing her clit.
He begins to move faster, driving into her as he chases both of their releases. Her noises mixed with how tight she is causes Gray to get closer to the edge, knowing that she's not far behind by the way she can't stop moaning.
"Almost...there…" Juvia informs him, her nails adding on to the scratches from the previous night.
Gray applies more pressure to her clit, thrusting into her as fast as he can. The bluenette's body convulses against him as he takes her over the peak, walls clamping down around his cock as she rides out her high. "Oh, Gray…"
That's it. That's all it takes for Gray to spill into her, his forehead finding hers as he groans loudly, slowing down his pace in order to ride out their orgasms. His eyes open and find hers, smiling from ear to ear at the satisfied grin on her face. "Fuck, I love you." He allows himself to say out loud now that he's confessed.
Juvia initially blinks in response, surprised that he said it first after last night and so soon too. Her doubts from earlier seem silly now, seeing as he clearly doesn't regret anything. "Juvia loves you too, Gray-sama...However she can't help but wonder what this all means."
The girl unwraps her legs from him once he pulls out, a confused look etched on his face. "What do you mean? I said I wanted to be with you, didn't I?"
"Does this mean Gray-sama is Juvia's boyfriend?"
The ice mage laughs, leaning in to peck her lips. "I thought that was implied after...everything. But yes, silly. I am your boyfriend."
A glass shattering shriek reaches his ears as arms flail around him, hugging him tightly as if she's afraid to let go. "Gray-sama is Juvia's boyfriend! Just wait until Juvia's love rivals find out!" She happily exclaims, followed by giddy laughter.
Gray playfully rolls his eyes at her behavior, already beyond used to it. He should've expected that reaction from the girl. "Oh hush, you never had love rivals to begin with." He shakes his head, looking down at the girl once she stopped clinging to him.
"But Gray-sama did." Juvia smirks, teasing the ice mage.
"What? No I didn't."
"Sooo Lyon-sama wasn't a love rival?" She questions, feigning innocence. The girl can't help but wonder if he'll admit to his jealousy that she thought she suspected in the past.
His eyes narrow at her at the mention of his name, snarling. "Lyon can go fuck himself. You're mine." He did not like the idea that the man that was practically his brother liked his girlfriend.
A giggle escapes her lips, poking his chest. "Juvia knew Gray-sama was jealous!"
"Tsk. Now it'll be Lyon who is jealous." He huffs, leaning in to capture her lips possessively. Juvia responds just as eagerly, relishing in the fact that he really does want her all to himself. His tongue sweeps her bottom lip, asking for entrance. Once she grants it, he explores her mouth, trying to make up for all of the lost time that he could've spent kissing her.
….
After another round, the couple emerge from the shower, steam clouding the room from more than just the heat of the water. They towel themselves dry and get dressed in warm clothing, knowing very well that despite the heaters, the room will be cold until they get another roaring fire going.
Once outside of the bathroom, Gray gathers the wood from the corner of the room and puts it in the fireplace, getting yet another fire going. Juvia joins him by the fireplace, blanket wrapped around her body. "Juvia wonders how long we'll be snowed in for…She doesn't really mind though, as long as she's with her Gray-sama."
"Mmm, who knows. Maybe we'll be stuck in here for weeks, forced to do nothing other than each other."
"Gray-sama!" She laughs, smacking his arm in an impish manner.
"What?! I know you wouldn't mind, if earlier had any indication."
Her face turns bright red, knowing that she really can't deny it. She really does love touching Gray-sama. "It's not Juvia's fault that Gray-sama feels so good inside of her."
"Yeah?" A naughty smile stretches across his lips, eyes shining with mischief. "You feel pretty good to be inside of so I guess we're even."
Juvia beams back at her newly found boyfriend, unable to believe all that has happened in the past 24 hours. After so long of waiting, she finally heard him say I love you. She doubted herself forever but found the will to hang on just a little longer with the subtle hints that he liked her too. They didn't come for a good while, but once she started noticing little signs, she became hopeful that he would one day too return her feelings. The girl wanted to selfishly stay in their bubble, afraid that the outside world would burst it. Would it be the same once they're out and able to go home?
The bluenette is pulled from her thoughts when she feels a pair of warm lips on hers for a moment, eyes closing then opening again. Gray would be lying if he said he wasn't scared shitless too, however, he knew that he'd rather be scared shitless with her than without her. His hands found hers, his face growing serious.
"Hey...This is so new to me so please, be patient with me. I've never done this whole girlfriend thing and the truth is, I'm really scared to mess this up, Juvia. I know I'll make mistakes and I know I can be an ass...I'm just asking that you don't give up on me as I navigate through this all."
Her hand cups his cheek, cerulean irises softening as his worries come out. "Juvia won't give up on you, Gray-sama. Juvia knows that a relationship takes work and she's willing to work really hard if you are too."
He nods against her hand, gazing at her with what he imagines is all the love in the world. "I am. I don't want to lose you. I'd do anything for you, you know that right?"
"Hmm...Be careful what you wish for, Gray-sama." She grins teasingly.
Gray rolls his eyes and pulls her close, hugging her body to his tightly. These past two days have been emotional, the ice mage not expecting that he would be baring his heart over and over again. Admitting that you're in love makes you vulnerable and while that might scare Gray, it doesn't scare him enough from giving in. He has decided that life isn't guaranteed for anyone and that yes, Gray or Juvia could be living their last days and not even be knowing it. However, he would rather be with her until the bitter end than alone, forever wishing he told her how he felt.
….
How long do y'all think they'll be trapped there for?
