SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 500. Gray is slightly OOC in this one shot.
The battle is over; Natsu turned out to be E.N.D. but has now been safely returned to normal and Zeref has been defeated.
'I can't believe it's finally all over.' Lucy says.
'Wait does anyone know where Gray is?' Natsu Asks.
Lucy looks around and notices Gray sat on his own with his head in his hands.
'Leave him alone for a bit, he and Juvia were in a battle against Invel and Juvia didn't make.' Lucy says.
'What happened?' Natsu asks.
'He wouldn't tell me what happened but I asked where Juvia was before the battle and he told me that she died during their battle with Invel.' Lucy replies.
'The guild won't be the same without her bubbly personality.' Lisanna says while crying.
Gray walks over to everyone.
'I can hear what you are all saying. Invel used a type of magic that chained two people together and forces them to fight to the death, neither of us wanted to fight and we each took back control and we both stabbed ourselves so that we wouldn't have to kill the other, I should have died but she learnt a new type of magic that would save my life if something went wrong. Her blood went into my body but she died, she gave her life to save mine.' Gray cries.
'She loves you Gray.' Mirajane replies.
'I know but she shouldn't have given her life for me.'
'She shouldn't have but she loves you Stripper but that Rain Woman always did what she wanted to and once she made up her mind then there would be no stopping her, she's been my best friend since we were fifteen and she is so stubborn.' Gajeel says.
'You have no room to talk about someone being stubborn.' Levy says.
'I never got to tell Juvia how much I love her.' Gray says.
Everyone turns to Gray in shock.
'Did you just admit that you're in love with Juvia?' Lucy asks.
'Yeah and I was going to tell her when all of this was over but I never got the chance because she died before I could tell her.' Gray replies.
'Don't blame yourself, Juvia loved you and you brought the light into her life.' Gajeel says.
'What do you mean that I brought the light into her life?' Gray asks.
'She has grown up being shunned by other people because of her rain; the sky was already dull around her. I was literally her first friend as all of the other children used to bully her because of her rain, someone in her orphanage tried to kill her when she was eight years old. She lost her parents at five years old because of the rain, her parents were involved in accident because it was raining so hard and she has always blamed herself for that. Her rain stopped during the war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord, that's because Gray somehow managed to stop the rain. She's loved him ever since and her love has just gotten stronger and stronger. She once went to see Porlyusica, who told her that the rain was a spell cast on her when she was a baby and it would only be lifted by meeting her soul mate.' Gajeel explains.
'So wait, you're saying that Juvia and Gray are soul mates?' Lucy asks.
'That's exactly what I'm saying.' Gajeel replies.
Lisanna and Levy gasp in shock and everyone looks the way the girls are looking. Wendy and Carla are helping Juvia to walk up to everyone. Gray stares at Juvia in shock and then runs towards her.
'Hello Gray-Sama.' Juvia says weakly.
'Juvia, how...what.' Gray says confused.
'Carla had a premonition that Juvia was going to be in danger so we ran towards where she was in the premonition and I managed to save her as she was on the verge of dying.' Wendy explains.
Gray grabs Juvia's face and Kisses her.
'Gray-Sama?' Juvia says confused.
'I promised you an answer. That answer is that I love you Juvia and I've known that ever since our first Unison Raid.' Gray says.
Juvia and Gray kiss again.
'Marry me?' Gray asks.
'What?' Juvia replies.
'We both love each other and we might not have ever dated but we lived together for six months and Gajeel just told me that Porlyusica said we are soul mates because I took away your rain. I can't imagine life without you Juvia, so please marry me.' Gray replies.
'Yes, I'll marry you.' Juvia almost squeals.
Juvia and Gray kiss again. Erza walks over to them.
'That was fast but congratulations.' Erza says.
She hugs both of them. Gajeel walks over to Juvia and hugs her.
'I'm so happy you're alright sprinkler and you're now engaged, congratulations.' Gajeel says.
'Thank you Gajeel-Kun.' Juvia replies.
Gajeel turns to Gray and grabs him by the shirt.
'If you hurt her then I will kill you.' Gajeel threatens.
'I won't hurt her, I love her. We are going to get married, have children and spend the rest of our lives together.' Gray replies.
Juvia and Gray kiss again.
I go back to University on Friday but I will try to update this fanfiction at least once a week.
