Gruvia Week Day 2 - Eyes
A/N: For Gruvia Week 2016. Day 2 - Eyes. Based on Chapter 453 When Gray is on the balcony before Juvia appears.
It was her eyes that he first noticed on that rainy day on the roof of the Phantom Giant. Her navy blue eyes were dull and shallow, emotionless, but such beauty shouldn't have such lifeless eyes. To him it seemed like she had already given up on love, laughter and kindness, she seemed depressed, and the rain that fell around her as cold as ice added to her crestfallen demeanour. However she was still Fairy Tails enemy being a member of the element four. Gray had found her strange, one moment she was formal and unwavering, the next she seemed to having some kind of argument with herself. She was confusing but he found himself caring about her.
As they fought Gray also realised that her magic was fierce and angry, her motivation seemed to be that of hatred, but at what he couldn't figure out. He hoped that if could beat her in the fight that he might be able to save her because deep down in her eyes, deep in her magic was a glint of something, behind the anger was sadness, sadness that only he thought he knew. It was like they were two sides of the same story except he had found Fairy Tail and her Phantom Lord. The battle had been a tough one but Gray had come out on top, he had stopped Juvia from falling to her death, acting on impulse, there was just something about her. As the sun shone down on the two of them he noticed a spark start to appear in her eyes. It was the first time she had seen the sun.
Juvia was a different person since joining Fairy Tail and so was he. Gray didn't like to admit it but they both had an impact on each others lives. Juvias eyes were full of life, sparkling, happy, bursting with love and kindness (which she liked to shower him in). Her eyes were as deep as the ocean and her heart was just as big. Gray loved the way her eyes showed all her emotions and if he had his way after this battle he always would.
