Gruvia Week 2015

Day 3: Bloom

Juvia had not always been like she was now.

There was a time when she wasn't always happy.

For most of her life Juvia had been haunted by rain that always followed her wherever she went.

When she was a baby everyone thought it was a coincidence at first but as time went on and it only ever rained where Juvia was taken to they realized it was all because of her.

Her parents were kind and loving to her and still accepted her but they were the only ones.

All of their friends wanted nothing more to do with them because of Juvia and Juvia herself could also never make friends.

The other children hated her because of her rain, always bullying her and commenting on how gloomy the rain was.

One day they started throwing rocks at her too.

They never hurt, going right through her but that didn't make the other kids stop.

They only got angry at her for not getting hurt.

When she got older she started making little teru-teru-bozu dolls in a weak attempt to stop the rain but of course it never helped and only made the bullying worse.

At some point something horrible happened.

Her parents got in an accident because of the rain and died.

Juvia ran away from the awful village she lived in and started training herself to fight with her magic.

Years passed all the time Juvia was all alone, making her personality gloomy like the rain.

One day she was approached by a man named Jose who offered her to join his guild and Juvia accepted, wanting a place where she would feel home.

Phantom Lord as the guild was called was full with people who had magical powers like her but it wasn't comfortable as a home.

They respected her but she knew that was only because of her power, earning her the tittle of S-class mage.

She was put in a team with three men of which two called Sol and Aria who were much older than her and another man called Totomaru who was her age.

She got along fine with them and better then with most of the guild but it still wasn't right.

There was another man in the guild who was also her age and was said to be the guild's most powerful mage right after Jose.

Gajeel Redfox.

At first she had been a bit afraid of him but after talking with him a few times she learned he had also had a hard life and they ended up becoming good friends who always understood each other but most of the time they had to hide their relationship to keep up their reputations as 'The ruthless iron-dragon slayer who only cared about fighting' and 'The gloomy rain-woman with no emotions' so they could only be themselves when it was just the two of them.

He had been her only true friend back then and had given her a bit of warmth that she had been lacking, keeping her from becoming completely emotionless.

She felt herself get a bit more of that warmth when she started dating Bora but that disappeared and was only replaced with more rain once he dumped her.

Time went on and Juvia faithfully served her guild, wanting to please Jose for accepting her as she was, even if it was only because of her power.

Then she met him.

Gray Fullbuster.

She was amazed at his handsomeness and fell right away in love, even thought she was supposed to fight him.

Her affections disappeared straight away when he called her rain gloomy.

He had sounded just like all the people who had tormented her though her live.

It made her snap and attack with all she had but she was still defeated by him.

When she had been about to fall to her death he had caught her arm, saving her.

Then something amazing happened.

It had stopped raining and thought the clouds she saw beams of light breaking through.

For the first time in her live she saw the sun and it was all because of him.

Having him take her rain away made her feelings for him return tenfold.

After Phantom Lord was disbanded she went and joined Fairy Tail to be close to him and thought it took a lot of effort she also got Gajeel to join.

Some people held a grudge against them for what they had done in Phantom Lord but after a while they were both accepted and it felt much better then joining Phantom Lord.

Fairy Tail truly felt like the home Juvia had been looking for, filled with people who cared about her as a person and became her friends.

They gave her more warmth.

Gray had at first ignored her affections for him, only treating her as a fellow guild-member but Juvia never gave up on him.

Then, one day, it turned out to have been all worth it when he cracked and returned her feelings.

That was when Juvia felt like she was finally getting all the warmth and light she had always craved.

She was a flower.

A flower who had always been getting way to much water and not enough light and warmth.

Her friends were the ones who kept her from dying by giving her just enough warmth to survive but Gray had been the one who got rid of all the extra water and gave her the light of the sun.

He had made the drowning flower able to finally bloom.

"Hey, is it just me or are you looking even prettier than usual today?" a voice suddenly asked, snapping Juvia out of her thoughts.

"Gray-sama!" she squealed as she rushed over to him and gave him a hug.

"Hey there, Juv." the young man chuckled as he hugged her back.

"Gray-sama, if you still want an answer to that question you just asked, Juvia is not sure but is she does look better it is all because of Gray-sama. Gray-sama is the reason Juvia had finally been able to bloom."she told him as she pulled away a bit to look up at in his eyes.

Gray just blinked down at her in confusion and Juvia giggled before standing up on her toes and kissing him on the lips.

When they broke apart Gray still looked confused but smiled and said "I still don't get what you just meant but whatever." before kissing her again, making Juvia happily giggle against his mouth.
