Favorite Record

-A Fairy Tail fanfiction

"You were the song stuck in my head and the song I'll ever love…"

A/N: Yizz guys! A fifth installment! Now I'm getting fired up!

Honestly, this wasn't even in my list of prompts, but inspiration struck when I heard the song "Favorite Record" (yup, same title as this fic!) by one of my favorite bands (of all time) Fall Out Boy. The chorus came in and bam! It made me think of Gruvia. And I think we deserve some fluff after all the drama that happened in Tartaros Arc. I do hope I did a good job in this.

DISCLAIMER: Mashima-sensei owns FT. "Favorite Record" is a Fall Out Boy original.

It was late in the afternoon when Gray Fullbuster came home from a very tiring (not to mention, another all out destructive) mission. And as much as he wanted to end another fight with Natsu (which started sometime during their mission), he fought the urge to do so and just dragged himself to his apartment and plopped down on the couch, feeling the softness of the material soothing his aching body.

Too lazy to get up and get something to eat, Gray turned his attention to the radio on the table beside him, contemplating whether to switch it on or not. Upon realizing that the room was too silent to his liking, he reached over and pressed the 'on' button before tuning it to some random station.

When the DJ stopped spouting some nonsense about unrequited love (this made Gray roll his eyes), a song started playing, filling the room with its melody and verses. Gray closed his eyes and leaned his head back, listening to the song flowing gracefully.

It was sometime during the chorus when he thought that the song seemed oddly familiar. It was then that he realized that it was Juvia's favorite song.

As he hummed the song to himself, his thoughts flew to the water mage and how she was much like the song currently playing.

Her voice was the melody which brought clarity to his mind when he thought of giving up his life.

Her words of love were the lyrics he would never get tired of hearing every single day.

Her everything was what made him abandon his fear and freely fall in love with her… and love her more with every breath he takes.

Juvia was the song herself.

Gray was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't hear the door open and the soft footfalls that followed. He was only broken out of his musings when he felt a pair of dainty arms snake around his shoulders coupled with the scent of flowers and rain.

"Welcome home, Gray-sama." Juvia said before giving him a peck on his cheek.

Gray smiled softly as he leaned more to her embrace, basking in the warmth she radiated.

"I'm home, Juvia."

Juvia smiled radiantly at him, making his heart beat faster and his stomach flutter.

And when the song ended, he looked at her with eyes full of love and promises.

She was his favorite song.

And he'll love her forever.

A/N: Like it? Love it? Hate it? Did I give justice to Fall Out Boy? To the song? To Gruvia? Did I even satisfy you guys? Sorry if this is short, but as I said before, I prefer "short and sweet" fics. I'm so paranoid right now because this is not really my thing. Please do leave a review below and tell me what you think, ONEEEEEGAAAAAIIIIIIII! (*gets into seiza position and bows head on the floor*)

Anyway, many thanks to those who reviewed the previous chapter!

(And listen to FOB's new album, "American Beauty/ American Psycho". The song I used for this fic can be found there, if you're curious. All of their songs are awesome and great and cool and…. I could go on and on and on with the descriptions and words of praises.)

Thank you for reading and see you in the next installment!
