'I don't care if I became penniless, if it meant to have you'

He remembered it all well.
It was summer that time. It was the season that he hated the most. They had moved out of their former town not three months ago, and Gray was thinking of strolling around and explores this new town they would go to live in for — for the rest of his life. Maybe.
He and his parents moved to Oak town because of his father's job. He actually protested because he did not want to leave Fiore and his friends and moving away meant different place, different group of people and he had to get along with everybody else. Fuck that, he hated formalities and mindless pleasantries.
But in the end, he agreed to his parents plan. So he was now strolling down the beautiful town of Oak, under the painful scorching sun. His shirt clung to him like a second skin and he suddenly had the urge to strip it away. Or he did not have to strip away because his shirt was long gone, so that was why he heard some screaming—more like squealing.
In the end, he found himself sitting on the white sand and leaning on a big rock, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him. The smell of the sea assaulted his senses, the waves came crashing on the sparkling white sand, and he could hear rustling of clothing—wait. What? Rustling of clothing, he peeked from the big rock he was leaning on and did a double take upon seeing a beautiful woman, now only clad in her matching underwear.
He felt his heart did a cartwheel inside his chest and felt like the world suddenly went slowmo, because goddammit, he had never seen a woman who rocked with a blue hair, her body was a perfect sculpture of the body of a goddess. That bouncy big breast that his eyes were feasting on was covered by mere cloth, that flat stomach, that small waist, those large hips, and don't let him get it started with her legs.
Her pale skin glowed more beneath the scorching sun, she was so beautiful, but what made his breath hitched up on his throat was her smile.
That was the first time he saw her.
"Good morning Juvia-chan!"
Juvia almost dropped the vase she was holding when she heard Mika-san's cheery voice. A healthy blush covered her face, and she scrambled to her feet. "Mika—sa-san, Good morning!" She stammered and the older woman giggled behind her gloves.
"So is there something interesting that happened to you when I was away?" she scooted closer to Juvia and covered her shoulders with her arm and playfully wiggled her eyebrows.
The younger woman's face turned a deeper shade of vermilion and Mika just laughed. "Mika-san" the blunette flailed her arms on circular motion.
"Mhmmm. Are there any new flowers?" the white haired woman changed the topic because she was aware that Juvia might faint like the last time she told her on what position Juvia and her son should do for earlier pregnancy. To compensate on what she did, she bought dozens of bouquets.
Juvia seemed to calm down, and all her embarrassment was gone, she excitedly showed the new flowers that were delivered earlier. "Wow." Mika-san exclaimed and Juvia proudly smiled as she started to pick the flowers she wanted to buy.
"Mika-san, Juvia has to arrange it for a while, does Mika-san mind waiting?" she politely asked as the woman watched Juvia with sharp eyes. "I—i-is there something wrong?"
When Mika went towards Juvia, she stepped back, the white haired beauty was taller than Juvia with a little inches and Juvia felt herself turned smaller and smaller. "kyaa!" she yelped when she felt Mika's hands on her hips. "Mhmm, You have large hips, that is good for carrying kids" when Mika took her hands off of Juvia, the blunette could only raise her eyebrow in astonishment.
Mika presented her with a smug smile and added "Silver was right I don't have to worry about my grandchildren being healthy or not, because you, my dear, is perfect for bearing my grandkids."
"Eh—eh?!" Juvia once then, been bombarded by the son she was talking about. She clutched her cheeks with her hands, and felt steams coming out of her head.
"Juvia and Gray-sama making babies?!"
"Yes, my dear" Juvia was not aware that she had said her thoughts out loud. " oh, you should start practicing calling me Mother." Mika-san winked at the blunette.
Juvia's head was still swimming with things when she heard the bell from the door chimed and saw Mika-san walking out without saying goodbye, but knowing the older woman she had already bid her goodbye but she just did not heard.
"W—wait, Mika-san?!" she called, her apron flapped around her as the winds assaulted her. When Mika heard Juvia's voice she stilled and turned around.
"Juvia, what are you doing?" she asked as the young lady huffed for air.
"b—but, what about Mika-san's flowers?"
"It's alright, My son will picked it up like last time" she winked at Juvia, Mika really loved seeing Juvia's reaction, she was so adorable.
"What?!"
"I said you should pick the flowe—"
"I heard what you said." Gray glared at his mother as she looked at her fingernails like it was the most interesting thing in the world. The first time he stepped on that shop and the time he met Juvia, he made an idiot out of himself, and he did not like it.
"Then why are you asking me to repeat myself then?" she innocently blinked at her son, and Gray rolled his eyes because his mother was making him do things he did not want. It was not that he did not want to see Juvia once more, It was just he did not want to make a fool out of himself, again.
He could not even say the words he wanted to tell her.
"What are you so scared of? It's not like you're asking her to marry you and make babie—"
"Mom, could you please—"he sighed, the last thing he wanted to stay in his head was the picture of Juvia, naked, and him making Fullbuster heirs. It was torturous enough that he remembered her only clad in her underwear, every morning of his life.
"Oh. Gray" he heard his mother sobbed and that caught his attention. "It was like yesterday when I held you in my arms, and look at you now, all grown-up and have a girlfriend" she even wiped a fake tear.
His face burned from embarrassment. "Mom, Juvia is not my girlfriend—"
"—yet." She finished for him and her mother giggled behind her hands like a schoolgirl. Mika raised an eyebrow when her son did not protest and that made her smile warmly. She glanced on the wall clock and jumped out of her seat.
"W-wait?" Gray spluttered out as his mother pushed him out of their house.
"Go along now, she must be waiting." She said and Gray scowled at her, she just ignored him because she knew that he really wanted to go there but did not have a reason to.
Gray was about to leave when his mother called him. "What?!" he, annoyed, asked. When, he saw his mother's stern gaze, he swallowed hard.
"Give these to her parents." She thrust a bag of cookies and breads.
His face etched with confusion. "Go and court her parents too." She winked.
He swore his parents would be the death of him
He took it back; she would be the death of him.
With that wonderful big eyes of hers, that curly blue hair, that button-like nose, that full luscious pink lips, that pale skin, and that sinfully wonderful body of hers.
Gray Fullbuster had decided that Juvia would be the death of him.
He felt his breath hitched up when she smiled behind those flowers. His hands were turning sweaty and clammy because of it. Unconsciously reached for his hair and checked his appearance on the glass window, and immediately scowled, since when did he started to become concerned on his appearance? Could he really enter the shop? With a sigh, he pushed the door open.
…..
"Welcome to—" her next words were cut short, when she saw Gray entering the shop. Her feet seemed like it was glued on the floor, her whole body froze when she saw that handsome face of his.
She bet her face resembled a tomato right now. "Hey." He whispered, returning her greeting and my god, should he really be sensual? She scratched her cheeks with her finger, in a way to cool it down.
"Is Gray-sama h-here for the flowers?" she asked, remembering what Mika-san told her.
He reached for his hair and unconsciously combed it. His movements caused for his biceps to be visible and that made Juvia's cheeks redder. "Yeah. Are they ready?"
Juvia stared at him for a few seconds, her luscious pink lips apart, and in awe. He had to repeat himself so that Juvia would be out of her stance. And he would be lying if he did not found it cute.
"Mhmm, with j-just few touches," she informed, while silently berating herself for daydreaming. The blunette shyly offered him a seat, and he found out that she was smaller than he had thought. She only stood below his chin. Was it wrong to sniff some of her scent when she went near him?
As he waited for the flowers, he could not help but found it nice to watch her working and that she seemed like she was enjoying herself, and for some odd reason…he was too.
With a few minutes, he was not aware of the fact that the sun started to set and the world outside was starting to grow dark. And the bag of cookies and breads seemed to weigh heavier on his lap and that was when he was become aware of the laughter inside the shop. Was that his father's voice?
The sound of Juvia's cheerful voice made almost made him jump out of his seat. "All done."
He stood up and was about to pay her when she said that it was already paid. And the laughter made his ear twitched once more. "Is that my father's voice?" he warily asked, almost not sure himself, because why would his father be here when he should be—
"Yes, Silver-san is drinking with papa."
After hearing that information, his eyes widened like saucers and Juvia shyly and bashfully tugged his hand forward. "Juvia will show you." This was supposed to be the part where he would stammer and blush, but he felt himself grew mad at his dad. What was he doing here?
When they entered the house, which was an extension of the shop, he was now sure that it was his dad's voice.
"He is also the captain of their basketball team, and also the football team, and he was also top of his class" he heard his father say. He could see a figure, his back facing him, and Gray could feel himself sweating when his father noticed him. "Well, speaking of the devil, he is here." Gray felt his breath froze when his father pointed at him, and a man just the same height as him stood up as well and greeted him. His father went to him and draped an arm over.
Gray was then aware that Juvia was not on his side, he bowed in a very respectful way that his father raised an eyebrow at him. "Nice to meet you sir, I'm Gray." He introduced and stood stiffly as the brown haired man with sharp blue eyes, that was the same hue as Juvia, shook his hand and laughed. "Yeah, yeah, nice meeting you too. I'm Vernard."
He thrust the bag on the man's arm "What is this?" the brown haired man asked—Juvia's papa.
"It's a bag of cookies and breads, my mom baked it."
"ooohh." Said the man and called his wife, Julia, and showed the bag, they thanked him and Gray was given an opportunity to talk to his dad. "What are you doing here?" he hissed on his dad, and looked over his shoulder just to make sure that the Lockser's did not hear him.
"What else? I'm drinking with my pal—"
"Don't play coy with me."
"okay. Okay. I'm helping you win her parent's approval." His dad winked and Gray face-palmed because he had the most annoying and nosiest and snoopiest parents in the whole world. With a sigh, he exclaimed "we are going home."
"Gray-sama, Silver-san, should stay for dinner, Juvia and mama cooked"
Gray would have agreed after hearing that Juvia cooked for them, "Sorry, but we have to go." His father was about to protest when he pinched his arm. He felt awful when he saw that Juvia's face evolved into disappointment.
"oh." He heard her say, and her voice was even disappointed! Man, he sucked big time.
"You see my mother is alone at home, and she wanted to have the flowers—so yeah." He said hoping she would understand. "Oh, my Mika is alone at home" he heard his father exclaimed.
They both bid goodbyes when he and his father were about to leave, he stopped in his tracks and everyone turned curiously at him. He limply went to Juvia and fished out a box from his pocket and run away.
"Now what was that? That is not the proper way to propose son." Silver spouted at his son, he was aware that Gray gave Juvia a small box.
"Shut up. And it's not a ring."
"Oh." And they were about to turn a corner when his father leaned on his ear and whispered. "So should I tell your mom that it is MISSION ACCOMPLISHED." He winked and even showed him thumbs up.
…..
"Now what was that about?" Vernard asked, his face scrunched up and tried to peek on his daughter's hand. He saw a little box and when Juvia opened it up. "Woah.—is that a coin?—made out of jade?"
He took it out of the box and watched as his daughter's face brightened up with a smile. "papa don't bite it." She reprimanded with a cute pout on her face. "What? Just making sure it was real."
"what is that?" he asked when he saw her holding a strip of paper.
'I don't care if I became penniless, if it meant to have you'
She heard her papa shouted for her mother and asked for his reading glasses, because apparently, the writing was so small. And Juvia crumpled the paper on her chest and snatched the coin from her father and giddily jumped towards her room.
And when she got inside her room she heard her father screamed.
"What the?" he asked and when Juvia was away, the thought suddenly settled on him like an anchor would. He slowly turned around to his wife, who was busy humming. "D—don't tell me, …that—that boy, that Silver's son ..—was courting my precious Juvia?!"
His wife stopped humming and sweetly smiled at him. "Then, I won't tell,dear." She giggled.
A/N: Hope I did not disappoint you guys, i'm not actually sure of this myself, so I wanna know what you guys thought of it.
