AN: They're in college, alright? :) And frustrated Juvia is so fun to write!

Special thanks to Ulcaasi, who pretty much beta-ed this chapter by pointing out my mistakes!

Medals

It was a rainy night in the apartment Gray and Loke shared. The two habitants of the house were playing a video-game out of boredom. When the knock on the door snapped them out of the little contest they were having. Gray was the closest one to the door, so he got up and went to answer it.

When he opened, he was a little surprised with who he saw standing there.

"Hey." Gray was surprised when he saw his girlfriend waiting for him at the door. She was dripping wet from her head to toe. Her shirt (white, of course) was hugging her body so close that he could see the light blue bra she was wearing. She was wearing the jeans he knew she liked the most. "What are you doing here…?"

Juvia had her hands on her hips and looked pissed about something and Gray frowned when she passed through him, entering his apartment, without even say a 'hi' to Loke, who was sitting on the couch, waiting for his friend to return to the game.

"Hey Juv…" Loke greeted her but she passed without glance in his direction, going to Gray's room.

The dark haired man stared at the direction she went, frowning deeply. He closed the door and hesitated to follow the woman. This was new territory for him. During the year he had known Juvia, he hadn't seen her angry with him since the day they met. After that, she was really soft with him.

"I'm outta here." Loke got up from his spot on the couch and grabbed his wallet and keys at the center table.

"What?" Gray snapped out of his thoughts. "Where are you going?"

"Juvia's pissed and since this is probably a sign of the apocalypse I'm going to pay one of my girls a visit for the night. I won't be a witness to a murder." The orange haired man put a hand on Gray's shoulder. "If I know something, it's women. And that particular one is very angry."

"She won't kill me. I mean, she really likes me. Right?" Gray, now a little concerned for his own safety, looked to his bedroom door which was open and he could see Juvia's shadow. She was walking from one side to another.

"Yeah, man. Keep telling yourself that." Loke tapped on his shoulder and headed towards the door. "I won't be back until tomorrow. Try to be alive until I come back."

"Shut up!" Gray half-yelled and he heard Loke's laugh while he closed the door of their apartment.

He sighed and went to his bedroom, finding Juvia with her arms crossed, looking at him with her eyes menacingly towards him and he didn't dare to take another step forward, not when his girlfriend was like that. "Juvia, what…?"

"What's wrong with me?" She asked, stopping the walk and turned to stare at him.

"I am trying to figure that out. Whatever I did, I'm… sorry?" Gray asked, not entirely sure what he did, but he truly didn't want to be in her bad side. They were good together and he didn't want it to stop because he was very fond of her.

"Is it my boobs? Are they too big? Are they not big enough?" She put her hands on her breasts to make a point and he raised his eyebrows, surprised. "Because the twins here seem to have a lot of attention from other guys, but not you."

"What?" Gray wasn't entirely sure what she was talking about. "Your breasts have the perfect size." He should know it, the day they met he kind of groped one of them by accident. "And wait… what guys?"

"Then what is wrong? Is my ass too big? My breath smells?" She went closer to him and put her hands over her butt this time and Gray couldn't help but follow them with his eyes.

"What are you talking about, Juvia?" He snapped out of it.

"Why don't you want me?" She asked with a defeated tone and Gray was surprised.

"Huh?"

"It's been three months since we started dating and every time things start to heat up, you pull away." She looked down to the floor.

"I…" Gray couldn't believe what he was hearing. He truly wasn't. Did she think what?

"So, Juvia was just wondering what was wrong with her. If the breasts aren't the problem, what is it?" Juvia looked up to him with such pleading eyes that Gray felt bad. Whatever she was talking about, it really hurt her and he hated to be the one who hurt her.

"Okay, calm down a bit." He sighed and grabbed her by the shoulders, gently. "What are you asking me exactly?"

"Juvia wants to know what's wrong with her. Because something must be wrong!" Juvia said quietly. "Why don't you want to sleep with Juvia?" Oh, he understood it now.

"I…" He sighed. "Juvia, I thought you wanted to wait."

"Wait what?" She asked, confused. She never said that she wanted to wait… whatever! She always made very clear that the day Gray finally wanted her, she would be glad to let him ravish her. And she certainly encouraged him. But whenever things got too hot, Gray had a paper to finish, a test to study to or he left something in the oven and had to go get it.

If something, he was the one quitting all the time.

"You said to the girls that your experiences with sex weren't exactly good, so I was waiting for you to be comfortable to make a move." Gray said and Juvia frowned.

"You heard Juvia talking to the girls?"

"Yeah. Months ago. None of you are really quiet when you're drunk. But that's not the point!" He rolled his eyes and then stopped for a moment to look at her. "I thought you wanted to wait because of that."

"No!" She whined. "Juvia's previous experience wasn't the best thing, but she always knew that with you, Gray-sama, it would feel different." She whispered the last part but he heard her.

"So, why did you hold off?" Gray was confused too. She never said anything before, so he thought that she was fine with waiting too.

"Because Juvia thought that you wanted to wait! Because you said that you didn't want an only sexual relationship!" When they started dating, sex came up for the first time in a conversation and Gray had told her that the relationships he had on the past didn't really last because it was based on intercourse, and he didn't want it to happen to them. He cared too much about her to rush things.

And Juvia understood. She felt happy that he was willing to be different with her so they could give their relationship a really and truly try; but the truth was… she got horny. Gray was a very sexy man and everyone knew it, and he got even sexier when Juvia knew he wasn't seeking for sex.

He had 'forbidden fruit' written all over him.

Her solution? She ran. Every morning for at least two months, Juvia jogged to let the steam out, because she was pretty sure that if she hadn't, she would've exploded by then.

"I said that because I thought you weren't comfortable with sex." Gray was exasperated. "And you tend to do things to please me, even if you're not really a fan, so I needed to pretend that I didn't really want it until you wanted it." He pointed out and Juvia couldn't help but think that he was right.

After a few moments of indecision, she finally asked it, hesitating a bit.

"But do you want it?"

"Hell yeah! I'm a guy! I always want it." Gray felt good finally saying it. He had been holding his desires for months so she could get used to the idea of having him in an intimate way. Whenever he and his girlfriend were making out, he always had to keep himself from going too far; even though his body screamed that he needed to take her at that very moment.

"I want it too!" Juvia sighed in relief and Gray did it also. Finally.

Finally!

"Good." He smiled at her.

"Good." She smiled back.

Gray was about to pull her closer to him when she took a step back and went to the bed to grab her purse and Gray frowned at her actions.

"Wait, where are you going?" He asked when she started to walk towards the door.

"Well… Juvia's going home." She frowned, not understanding.

"What? Now that you barged into my apartment in the middle of the night, with wet see-through clothes" She looked down and blushed once she realized that she was indeed showing a lot. "and finally admit that you want to have sex with me after three months of wait? You're going home?" Gray was exasperated. When he thought everything was finally fine with them she was leaving?

"Juvia's not exactly sexy right now, Gray-sama!" Juvia pointed to her face, where her make-up was dissolving. Her hair was wet and still dripping with water. Juvia put her arms around his waist and rested her chin on his chest and looked up, smiling a little bit. "She wants our first time to be perfect. And now that Juvia knows that you want her, she is feeling better."

"You look perfect." Gray put a hand on her cheek. He looked down to her and gave her a small kiss. "Actually, I've never seen you more perfect than right now." And he truly believed that. She was so natural, so… Juvia. And that was the woman he fell in love with.

"You're just saying that to get into Juvia's pants." She said playfully.

"A little bit, yeah." He smirked and then he felt a light pain on his back because of a pinch. "Ouch. I'm kidding."

"Do you really want Juvia even if she's all wet from the rain?" She asked him quietly, a little hesitant.

"Of course." He grinned. "With rain or not, I'm here, Juvia. I told you that the day I told you that I was falling in love with you." He looked into her eyes for a few seconds, before Juvia unwrapped her arms from him and stepped back. Gray groaned. He was sure that he was going to get her this time and he was ready to protest when he saw his girlfriend throw her purse on the floor and started to pull off her shirt. "What…?" His mouth was suddenly dry. Did that mean…?

"Juvia wants it to be perfect and she can't think of a better moment than this one." She broke the distance between them again and kissed him and he kissed her back. She was right. It was a perfect moment.

An hour later, Juvia was resting her head on her boyfriend's chest while the rain was still pouring outside and she felt wonderful. No way that jogging was leaving her feeling half as good as she was right now. The last time she had sex it didn't feel half as good as that moment with Gray. She was on cloud nine. She was sure she was going to die of happiness.

"Okay, now I'm pissed!" Gray said, holding Juvia by the waist. With his words, Juvia sat on the bed, alarmed.

"What? Didn't Gray-sama enjoyed?" Was Juvia wrong when she assumed that they just had the best night she ever dreamt? Oh, did she do something?

"Oh yeah, I did. That was… fuckin' amazing, Juvia." He assured her fast, sensing that she was going to overthink things and try to take something bad out of the best night of his life. "I never knew how flexible you were, really." He smirked when she blushed and lied back into him, hiding her face in his chest. "It's just that I am pissed that we lost time being stupid and didn't communicate. Three months, Juvia. Three months!" He said looking to the ceiling, a little angry. "Do you have any idea how hard is it to a guy?"

"Girls don't have a walk in the park either, Gray-sama. Juvia have been jogging every morning to let go some of her steam." He was surprised to hear her reasons. Gray always thought that she jogged because she liked to, not because she needed it to let go of her sexual energy. "But… Maybe it was supposed to happen like this. Maybe if it happened before it wouldn't be as good."

"I doubt it." He scoffed. "We are very good at it. If sex was a sport, we would've won a medal for it."

"That's true." She giggled. After a minute of comfortable silence, Juvia heard Gray ask her, with smugness dripping from his tone.

"Wanna win another medal?"

AN: They were both trying to protect each other. So cute. And I made Gray's roommate be Loke because if it was Natsu, they would end up breaking everything on the house in the first day!
