Day 2- Quiet

"Gray-sama?"

Lowering his gaze from the night sky, Gray was meet by Juvia's concerned eyes. He sighed deeply and lifted his beer to his lips taking a long swig before putting it down.

"What, Juvia?" He asked harsher than he had intended and mentally punched himself on the face. He hadn't meant for the words to come out harsh but he really was in a mood today.

Juvia, of course, was unfazed by his rude attitude and instead took a deep breath before speaking.

"Why has Gray-sama been so quiet today? D-did Juvia do something wrong?" Again, he mentally punched himself in the face. He should have known the moment he'd stop talking to Juvia she will immediately assumed she'd done something wrong. Only she didn't.

He rubbed his face with his free hand and moved aside to give her space to sit down on the porch stairs.

"Come here, Juv." He muttered softly, something he rarely did. Juvia smiled at her nickname and sat down beside him. She remained silent not pushing anything out of him, she just sat there and waited till he was comfortable to tell her what's wrong. And he loved her for that.

"First of all, you did nothing wrong, Juvia. So, please, stop assuming everything is your fault. We talked about this." He turned his head to glare at her and she looked down at her hands on her lap; a sad frown on her face.

He sighed and taking another swig of beer, he spoke. "Today's Dad's birthday..."

Juvia spun her head so fast Gray worried she might break her neck. "Today is Silver-sama's birthday?..."

Gray nodded, looking up at the night sky again. "Yeah. I guess I'm just... kind of moody is all." He lifted the bottle of beer to his lips again but before it could reach his lips it was taken away from him. He turned around and saw Juvia lift the bottle to her lips and take a swig of his beer; staring amused at her actions.

Juvia blushed when she saw him staring at her and handed him back his beer. "S-sorry. Juvia realized she needed a drink..."

He chuckled and shook his head. "It's fine. You just caught me by surprise that's all." She nodded, her cheeks pink, and joined him to look at the night sky.

After a few minutes of silence, Juvia spoke up.

"Tell me about Silver-sama."

Her words caught Gray off guard. "What?"

Juvia tilted her head to the side and smiled shyly at him. "Juvia said to tell her about Silver-sama. Juvia thinks that maybe talking about him will make Gray-sama feel better..."

He looked at her a little surprised that she, Juvia, who always got emotional when the topic of his father came up, was asking him to tell her about him.

He must have been quiet for awhile because next thing he knew Juvia started panicking.

"J-Juvia is sorry. She shouldn't have ask that. Juvia just thought that it might be good for Gray-sama to talk about his father but if he doesn't that's quite fin-"

"What do you wanna know?"

Juvia shut her mouth and looked at him, eyes wide. "W-what?"

He rolled his eyes, a small smile on his lips. "I said, what do you wanna know? About Dad, you know."

She stared at him, shocked that he will actually talk to her about his father, then smiled softly. "How was Silver-sama? He seemed like a great man to Juvia."

Gray snorted, "Yeah, right. He was a pain in the ass. Always bugging me and telling me how I needed to be a man and help Mom. Of course, it was so he could go to the bar to hang with his friends while I did the work. Tsk. At least he paid me for his laziness..." He scoffed, taking another swig of beer.

Juvia giggled at the thought of an annoyed little Gray arguing with his father. "Silver-sama was a funny man."

"Funny?! To you it might seem funny but to me it was hell. If he was here right now he will be teasing me about not having enough balls for not realizing my feelings for you sooner. And then he'll 'compliment' me for finally growing some balls."

Juvia laughed and hid her smile behind her hand when he glared at her, though both of them knew it was fake.

"Juvia still thinks Silver-sama is funny. And that his teasing side just shows how much he cares for you."

Gray tsked and raised his beer to his lips, hiding his smile. "I know. But he damn sure had a weird way of showing it."

"Gray-sama you know you're one to talk."

This time Gray didn't hide his smile and turned to look at Juvia, still smiling. "You still love me, though. I don't why, after everything I've said to you...and yet, you still love me anyway."

Juvia smiled sweetly, "Juvia will always love you, Gray-sama. No matter what."

He grinned and kissed her lightly on the lips, "I love you too, Juv."

"So you did grow some balls, Gray-sama."

"Juvia!"

"What?" Juvia asked innocently, "Silver-sama told Juvia to take care of you. And if that was Silver-sama's way to take care of you Juvia will just have to continue his legacy."

He groaned loudly, "You're killing me here, Juv."

"You still love me, though." She muttered laying her head on his shoulder.

He smiled down at her and kissed her forehead, "Always."
