Locked Up Smiles

by TangeeOrange

This is a sad one-shot about how Juvia feels after Gray dies. This is made-up and is not a real scene in Fairy Tail. This is in the format of Juvia writing a letter to Gray or in other words she's kind of talking to him in her mind. JuviaXGray which changes to become a LyonXJuvia fanfiction, sorry if you don't ship this pairing!

2. Chapter 2

I decided to actually continue this because it got so many favorites. This one will be based on when Juvia goes to visit Gray's grave (lol, a lot of gra- beginnings) after the funeral. Also, I would like to thank Mrs. Quirky-Bookworm for reminding me that Juvia talks in third person. Enjoy!

The tombstone was kind of transparent, almost a clear blue like sparkling ice. There were, in black letters, the words:

Gray Fullbuster

?*-X792

Rest in Peace

*It never stated when Gray was born

"You okay, Juvia, you've been kneeling in front of his Gray's grave for an hour now" Lucy said.

I didn't respond and continued to kneel in front of his grave, laying a single white rose next to the cup of melted shaved ice I brought earlier. My salty tears mixed with rain as they slid down my cheeks.

"Juvia thinks that if you were any good friend you would do as I do" I said finally.

"Juvia, get over it! You can't stay here forever and continue to mourn for eternity! Life needs to go on" Lucy cried.

"Well I can't get over him, problem!" I retorted.

"Juvia stop acting like this, you aren't the same Juvia I know and love!" she almost pleaded.

"Well Juvia isn't the same Juvia you know! Juvia has changed because her dear Gray-sama has died!" I cried, more tears escaping my eyes and falling onto the moist soil below me.

"Well you know what; I think Gray wouldn't want to see you like this. Juvia, I know this is hard on you but I really don't think Gray would want this, he would want you to smile and be happy" Lucy said.

"Just, give Juvia some time to cool off" I said and departed from the graveyard and Lucy.

Everything reminded me of you as I walked down the streets. When I saw spiky dark blue hair my heart would skip a beat, when I saw the cross on a church I would be reminded of the jingle of your necklace as you dodged and attacked with your powerful ice-make magic.

Well you know what; I think Gray wouldn't want to see you like this.

These words echoed in my head as I continued to walk down the streets. A small crack of sunshine appeared amidst the dark storm clouds. Its warm rays reminded me of the kindness and the mercy you showed me when we battled. I smiled to myself for once in a long time.
