Chapter 8: Love
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. Sad I know.


I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But Baby I broke them all for you

"Come on Ju-chan, tell us how the two of you finally got together!", Levy demanded, after she, Gajeel, Juvia, Gray, Lucy, Natsu and Happy had sat down on a table near a window. Gajeel had his arm protectively around Levy's waist and glared at Jet and Droy who were, once again, trying to get his shrimp's attention. Next to Levy, Lucy had sat down, across from Natsu. Gray sat in between Juvia and Natsu, holding the bluenette's hand under the table. Happy, sitting on the table munched a fish, well... happily.

Juvia smiled at Gray and began her tale. "As you may remember, Juvia and Gray-sama were on a mission together about three months ago. It had been an undercover mission. Juvia and Gray-sama had to search after a rogue mage who was molesting the women in the town. It was not hard to find him. Juvia and Gray-sama only had to search for him in two clubs.
"He was a very disgusting person, his black hair was greasy, his eyes were an unnatural ice blue color. Juvia had sat down at the bar, next to Gray-sama, and just after she had finished her Caipirinha the mage talked to her. He asked Juvia whether it was alright to drag her away from her boyfriend. After Juvia had responded that Gray-sama was not her boyfriend, the mage introduced himself as Michael and pulled Juvia to the dance floor.

"Inwardly Juvia was disgusted by Michael. He made perverted comments, reduced Juvia to her body. On more than one occasion he tried to grope Juvia, but she was able to use her powers to get out of his grip. He was drunk enough to think he had not touched Juvia because he had too much. But at some point he tried to kiss Juvia."

Juvia shuddered at the memory, and Gray scowled, his voice almost a growl when he went on telling their story "I hated seeing them like this. I did not know why but suddenly I was so angry at that asshole. I was about to get him away from her, but Juvia stopped me with a gaze. Softly she nodded to the back door, and after I had nodded, she dragged that bastard outside into an alleyway.

"I followed them and hid in the shadows at first. I heard him whispering to her how forward she had been. That he had not thought she would be so willing. She had appeared rather shy from the distance after all. From the shadows I observed how he neared her, his intention clear. He wanted her. I was about to move, when he suddenly cringed in pain. Apparently Juvia had kneed him in the balls. With a quick look over to me she locked him into her Water Lock. Then I proceeded with freezing his prison and together we moved him to a clearing inside the woods.
"In the process of being locked into a water prison and being frozen he lost his consciousness and we bound him to a tree. We waited until he awoke again. Which only happened after several hours. That left enough time for me to think about the immense rage I felt when Micheal tried to hit on Juvia. I had just came to the conclusion when our captured mage awoke again. Just after having woken up he already began to hit on Juvia again. He seemed to have forgotten what had happened before he was captured. He completely ignored my presence.

"Once I had enough I proceeded with the next part of our mission: The interrogation. He shrieked like a girl, when about 3000 small ice needles slowly, and painfully penetrated his skin. He sang like a bird and after we obtained that information, he looked over to Juvia again with that goggling eyes. Like she would help him out of that situation.", he scoffed "I was so angry at him looking at her like that, that I almost punched him. My fist hit the wood next to Michael's head. 'If you ever do as much as dreaming of my girl again, I'll hunt you down and kill you. Understood?' I growled at him. Once more he lost his consciousness and literally wet his pants.", Gray smirked victoriously and Juvia giggled at the image.

The bluenette then ended the tale "Juvia had thought she must have misheard. She was not prepared for Gray-sama's words. Juvia asked Gray-sama if she had heard right and he turned to Juvia and confessed. He told Juvia that he had developed feelings for her, but that he was not sure to which extent exactly. He told Juvia that he was ready for a relationship with her, but that he wanted them to take their time. To go at it slowly. Juvia was overjoyed, of course. She suggested to keep the relationship a secret at first, then they could take their time. And well you all know about the rest.", Juvia beamed first into the round, and then at Gray.

She giggled at the soft blush that decorated her boyfriend's cheeks. While Levy and Lucy commented how romantic their story was, Gray smiled back at Juvia and, not caring that they were in the guild, and were going to be teased about what was about to happen. No he was ready for putting their relationship to a complete new level.

Opposing to the secrecy their relationship had been in before, Gray captured Juvia's lips tenderly.


I'm back with a filler and a sort of new design/format for this story.
I needed a change thus I will go on writing the story with this format. I hope you don't mind.
I chose The Story by Brandi Carlile because it reminds me of Juvia and Gray.
