Woo hoo! Second chapter! Thank you so much, Star197 for posting a review! I enjoyed that! Thank you again, so much!
The redhead held her best friend's hand tightly, bringing her to Gray, who sat with his head on his knees by some trash cans."What's up, trash boy? You seemed to have make Juvia smoke. What's up with that, Trashy?" Erza looked down at Gray, who glared a little bit at her. "Oi. Don't start to glare at the glare master, . Apologize to Juvia because you got her really hurt." The queen of the fairies death glared at him, making him look away. He pulled out a cigarette from the carton beside him. "Whatever.." Gray mumbled, bringing the lighter out of his coat pocket. "Don't 'WHATEVER' me, Gray! You should be careful around your waifu." the redhead straight up flicked him, causing him to fall over to the side, still huddled up with a cigarette in his mouth. "She's not my waifu.." The ice mage mumbled. He got up, dusted his pants off, he looked like he hasn't slept in days. He rubbed his eyes and lit the cigarette, staring blankly at the love of his life. He deeply inhaled the toxins from the smoke, causing him to cough a little bit but he continued, Juvia started to cough, getting the smoke into her lungs. 'Juvia doesn't look good..' Erza thought, sensing the danger that would awake. Juvia collapsed with her head against Erza's body, coughing insanely now, "GRAY! STOP SMOKING! It's hurting her.." Erza yelled, The water mage rubbed her eyes slowly. She was still sort of conscious from the air.
The redhead requipped into her flight armor that gave her immense amounts of speed, She picked up Juvia and ran into the guild quickly to find Wendy and tell her what happened. "Someone bring Ms. Porlyusica to the infirmary! Juvia's almost unconscious.." Erza yelled, terribly worried about her best friend. "On it!" Lucy exclaimed, shocked. "Thank you.." Erza sighed, running her hands through her hair in frustration. "Juvia.. I hope your okay.." Erza brushed some of Juvia's hair from her face, looking down at her face as her eyes were closed.
Gray stepped into the guild with a slow stride, smoking. "Look what the trash dragged in.." Erza mumbled, looking down. Wendy stood behind the redhead, using her healing magic to help out Juvia for a little while till Ms. Porlyusica was heading to the guild. "I really wanna punch him.." Natsu growled, a stern look of hatred was crossed all over his face. Lucy rubbed Natsu's back slowly to help him calm down and release his rage else how. "I guess I'm not welcome then." Gray mumbled, turning around and walking out of the guild. Juvia got up slowly with help from Wendy, she patted Wendy's head lightly and grabbed Erza's hand to help her balance herself. "Juvia can make it. All she has to do is try.. She feels like she has to take the blame for Gray-Sama. It's her fault she's made of water.." the beautiful water mage mumbled, making her way slowly over to the ice wizard of her dreams.
Gray stopped in his tracks, turning over one last time to see a beautiful blue haired lady grab his hand. It was Juvia. The water mage cried, and held his hand tightly. Not letting go. "Juvia isn't gonna let go. She has feelings for Gray-Sama." Juvia looked up at him and wiped her tears slowly. Her sleeve was drenched in tears and she smiled a little bit. "Juvia likes Gray-Sama.." Juvia blushed, letting a little cough slip by. "Please stop smoking.. For Juvia?" She looked down and fumbled about with her fingers, biting her lip gently. Gray was silent. "I guess.. I'll try and stop it.. For you, Juvia.." the cold-hearted ice mage muttered under his breathe, taking another inhale of the smoke, feeling the smoke enter his lungs. Ms. Porlyusica ran into the guild, rushing over to the blue haired woman. "Are you hurt, Ms. Lockser?" the worried medic spoke with concern. "I.. Guess so.." Juvia mumbled, letting go of Gray's hand to rub her forehead gently. "You need rest, dear." Ms. Porlyusica said, shooing Juvia towards the infirmary. The medic turned around and grabbed Gray's wrist with force, grabbing his cigarette and she put it out with the tips of her fingers. "You should really stop smoking. It hurts everyone around you, especially the water woman." the medic mumbled and glanced at Erza, who nodded in return and help Juvia back to the infirmary.
Ms. Porlyusica left, heading back to her home. "We're all disappointed in you, Gray." Natsu growled, crossing his arms. "Whatever.." Gray mumbled and walked out of the guild with a slow walk, stuffing his hands into his pockets, fiddling with his lighter. 'I'm such an idiot.. I made her worse.. I'm so dumb!' Gray thought, smacking himself over and over. 'I feel so terrible.. I'll.. Give her time.. Yeah.. That's what I should do..' Gray added, "Its for the best.." Gray stood in front of a trash can, throwing his carton and lighter into it, walking away to his apartment to cool off.
Welp.. I really hope you enjoyed this second chapter of 'Ashes and Water' !
