Gruvia Week 2015
Day 5: Dancing
Dancing was something rare for Gray.
He had only done it a few times, mostly with random woman and girls and it had always been boring him out of his mind but he had either kept it up to fit in with the crowd or because whoever he was dancing with forced him to continue.
However, it was different with Juvia.
The first time they danced together was when everyone had been practicing for the great banquet.
It had all started with just Natsu and Lucy doing it but he and a few others had thought more of it like a game and before they knew it nearly the whole guild was dancing together and he had ended up dancing with her one way or another.
She had been swooning and he had been annoyed that he had to dance with her back then but soon he was surprised by how graceful she was.
She was light on her feet and moved perfectly along with him as they moved.
Out of all the woman he had ever danced with he could say without a doubt that she was the best.
Now at the moment they guild was having a party again for a reason he had forgotten but while a lot of alcohol was included like always, this time Mirajane had also put up a dance-floor.
At first people had only stared at her but after she told them the dance-floor had to be used or they would face her wrath people all around had grabbed random partners and started dancing.
By now everyone was enjoying themselves with Mira's wrath not even being necessary anymore as a threat as people also started dancing on their own free will while others just sat around and watched.
Gray was among the watchers, just sitting at the bar with a drink while sometimes watching the people around him but mostly looking towards Juvia who was sitting a bit further down the bar with Cana talking about Mavis-knows-what with a glass of water in her hand because she couldn't drink any alcohol due to her heavily pregnant stomach.
Gray frowned slightly after noticing how late it was.
Juvia needed rest so he should probably take her home by now.
Yeah, he himself also wanted to stay but it wouldn't be fair to send her home while he himself stayed and kept having fun or whatever and to be honest, he was also way to worried by now to let her go home on her own.
As said before, she was pregnant and that made her an easy target for any kind of freak.
That was why for the last few months even in broad daylight Gray always had either Gajeel or any of the female mages accompany Juvia wherever she went if he himself couldn't do that.
Hey, they were his lover with his child in her so he had all the reason to be a bit paranoid about them, thank you very much!
Downing his drink down his throat he stood up and made his towards where the two woman where laughing about something.
When he reached them he placed his hands on Juvia's shoulders to let her know he was standing behind her.
"Ah, Gray-sama!" she happily greeted him while placing one of her hands on his own.
Gray gave a little smile and pecked her on the lips before nodding at Cana.
"It's getting late. Time to go." he told Juvia who pouted.
"Already?" she whined cutely and Gray had to look away to keep himself from blushing.
"Yeah, sorry but you need your rest. Come on, let's go." he told her as he gently pulled her to her feet.
Than a slow song started playing and Juvia's face lit up.
"Ah, Gray-sama! Juvia loves this song! Can we please dance to this one? Pretty please?" Juvia asked excitedly.
Man she was just too cute for her own good but Gray refused to give in and told her "Sorry but we really gotta go. Come on, we'll dance some other time." and started pulling her to the door but then Cana opened her mouth.
"Oh, for Pete's sake, Gray! Just give the woman one dance! Then you'll have her happy and more willing to come with you!" she drunkenly yelled, gathering the attention of a few other people who were standing close by and all joined in on telling him to dance with her.
Gray groaned in annoyance and looked back down at Juvia.
Big mistake.
She was looking up at him with large hopeful deep blue eyes that sparkled at him and he just couldn't say no anymore.
"Fine. One dance but that's it." he told her and she squealed happily, dragging him to the dance-floor where other couples like Natsu and Lucy, Gajeel and Levy, Elfman and Evergreen and move couples were already shuffling together.
Gray was annoyed with himself that he let Juvia, Cana and some other people convince him to dance with her before leaving but that all melted away when he saw Juvia's happy expression.
If he could make her happy with just one dance then it was worth it.
They held onto each other, his hands around her waist and her hands on his shoulders, standing as close as Juvia's large belly allowed them to.
They started shuffling their feet life everyone else and Gray smiled when Juvia leaned her forehead against his chest, going in one a her fantasies, something she hadn't done in a long time but he knew her well enough to know this time it wasn't perverted but probably imagining them dancing on clouds or something like that.
Sometimes he found her dreaming weird but other times like now he found it just adorable.
Together they moved smoothly, enjoying the moment together for as long as it lasted until the song they were dancing to finally stopped and a wilder one started again.
Gray quickly pulled Juvia away from the dance-floor to avoid getting trampled by the crowd as they started wildly stomping around, flapping their arms and all like that.
He shook his head at the ridiculous sight before looking back down at Juvia.
"Happy now?" he asked her.
"Yes, Juvia is very happy now, Gray-sama. Thank you." she answered as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Then, are you coming home?" he asked.
"Juvia really wants to stay longer but Gray-sama has already danced with her to make her happy so she'll come along." Juvia sighed as her shoulders sagged, making Gray chuckle.
"Come on, Beautiful. Look at it this way, when we get home we can cuddle together in bed." he told her as he took her hand in his.
That seemed to work as she immediately perked up as ended up being the one who pulled him along.
