Author's Note:
Hey guys. So this is the 4th official chapter of this Gruvia story. I'm very happy to hear that you like it so far. Really appreciate it. The next chapter should be out very shortly and I hope you guys will enjoy that one too! And I'm also gonna start to do what I see some authors do, which is to give you hints about the next chapter. I'm gonna do it for some chapters though. Only if I don't want to keep it a secret. There are some chapters where that is the case. Well, I don't want to keep you waiting (if you still reading this), so here's the hint;
Hint:
I sit down slowly next to Juvia. I stared at the people in the ring. But in the center laid a phone. Yes a phone. But it's not the phone that threw me off, it was the app loading on the phone. The words glared at me with such ferocity. Will I survive this? I don't know. But what is about to come is not going to pretty.
"Ok... Ummm...What do you guys wanna play first? Truth or Dare or 7 Minutes of Heaven?"
Micaela's Room:
Micaela: AWW! I SHIP IT! I OFFICIALLY SHIP IT!
Gray: HEY! Don't become a match-maker like Mira!
Micaela: BUT MIRA IS RIGHT! GRUVIA ALL THE WAY!
Gray: STOP!
Micaela: 😏
Gray: 😤
Micaela: Anyways, what happens next? This is starting to get interesting!
Gray: Do you know the storage area we have behind the school for PE supplies?
Micaela: Gray. Just because I wasn't in school for 2-3 months, doesn't mean that I forgot about it.
Gray: I know, I know.
Micaela: But what does that have to do with you and Juvia?
Gray: Well... we kinda got locked in there. By ourselves. FOR 4 HOURS!
Micaela: ...What...When...HOW!
Gray: 1. I told you we got locked in. 2. About 6 months after she joined Fairy Tail. And 3. I'm gonna explain...
Gray's Narration:
It was around 4:30 in the afternoon, and Juvia and I were in PE. Mr. James (our PE teacher), had to run to a meeting, so he asked us to help put away all the supplies we used that class. Of course we said yes. It would've been rude if we didn't... and 20 more laps added to that. That basically leads to the situation. When the door in the back closes..
Juvia POV:
"Gray-sama, are we almost done? Juvia wants to go home," Juvia asked her true love, uh Gray-sama.
"Yep. We just need to carry those two goals over there," Gray-sama said, looking so handsome. AHH! WHAT IS JUVIA SAYING! GRAY-SAMA IS JUST A FRIEND! But why does it hurt Juvia whenever she says that...
Gray-sama and Juvia run out to the field and each grab one field. Of course Gray-sama was the first to put his away and Juvia was well... having some trouble. It's not that Juvia couldn't carry the goal, it's just that the goal is way to big. It's 3x Juvia's size! But being the hero Gray-sama is, he helped Juvia carry the goal all the way to the storage. He is so sweet to Juvia 😊! Once he and Juvia finished putting the goals away, they took a break.
"Man that was a lot! Right Juvia?"
"Yes Gray-sama. Juvia is exhausted."
"Me too. You want to get out?"
"Yes please."
Gray's POV:
Juvia and I started to walk out of the PE storage until the unpredictable happened. A figure quickly dashed past the door, which I don't know was an accident or on purpose but the large metal door shut.
"NO!" Juvia cried as the light in front of her faded. We were stuck in complete darkness. "What are we going to do?!" Here's the deal; We can't use our magic even though both of us are freakishly strong, cause the door is magic proof. There's no windows or secret tunnels or doors. And what makes things worse is that Coach James forgot to give us the key. Plus, the door automatically locks itself from the outside once it's shut. I don't know how things could get any worse from here. Well... at least I'm with Juvia but I don't know how's she's feeling right now...
Juvia's POV:
JUVIA IS STUCK IN A STORAGE WITH GRAY-SAMA! THIS IS JUVIA'S CHANCE!
Gray's POV:
Oh well... I guess I'll never know. Anyways, I'm stuck with Juvia in an smelly PE storage, with no way of escaping. And... is it just me or is it getting hot in here...
"Gray-sama... why are you stripping?"
"What do you mean by..." I look down to notice that the only thing I was wearing were my boxers. I STRIPPED IN FRONT OF HER! "I AM SO SORRY JUVIA! It's a habit, I'm sorry!" I said putting my clothes back on.
"It's ok Gray-sama. Juvia is well aware of your habit," she said, weirdly not fazed by the situation.
"Wait how do you know?!" I said surprised, still putting my shirt on.
"Well... Lucy-san, Natsu-san and Erza-san went up to Juvia to explain to Juvia "what she was getting into", in their words."
"Really? What did they say?" I really want to hear what my friends have to say about me.
"Umm... they said that Gray-sama is nice, caring, funny, and they especially said to watch out for your stripping habit!" Juvia giggled.
"Did they say anything else?"
"Well... Natsu called you a pervert, a jackass, and a bastard, but he said that you are a nice guy overall."
"I knew Natsu was gonna bring that up," I mumbled.
*giggle*
"How's Fairy Tail for you? Is everyone treating you well?"
"Yep! Juvia is having lots of fun and she's made many new friends. She even has a best friend," the girl said smirking.
"Oh who is it," I said smirking back at her.
"Lucy-san!"
"Oh... ok...," I said with my I'm-so-sad-face.
"Gray-sama! You can't take a joke can you! You're Juvia's best friend and that won't change!"
"Really?" I said sarcastically.
"Yes Gray-sama." We then stood in silence for a moment, each of us thinking of a way to get out. Until I finally got it.
"Juvia! Do you have your phone with you?"
"Yes. Why would we... YOU'RE SO SMART GRAY-SAMA!" I know what you're thinking, if the storage is magic proof and has no escaping doorways, why would a phone fix this?! Wouldn't we have no signal? Yes and no. If you're a student or teacher of Fairy Tail, then you get a free wifi network. If you don't attend Fairy Tail, you don't. This wifi can access even on missions in other parts of the world. It's pretty impressive. And since we're allowed to bring our phones to gym, we can access the wifi.
"QUICK! Call Erza! Erza has a spare key for every door!"
"Got it!" Juvia spoke as she went searched for Erza's contact name. I don't know if I explained this to you yet, but Erza is the school president. She gets a lot of responsibilities, especially guarding the First Master's Key. It can open any lock to the school and anywhere else. Our First Master crafted that with her own magic. So of course, Erza guards it. And once again, impressive.
"IT'S CONNECTING!" Juvia screamed. We waited for a few moments and then Erza answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello Erza. It's Juvia and Gray-sama," Juvia answered her.
"Hey Juvia. Hey Gray. How are you guys?"
"Not so well. Juvia and Gray-sama are stuck in the PE storage room."
"That's terrible! I'll be right there! And Juvia can you hand over the phone to Gray please?"
"Sure! Here you go Gray-sama!"
"Hello?" I answered terrified.
"Make your move Gray!" the girl said through the device.
"WHAT! That's what you wanted to tell me!" I whispered, very annoyed.
"Come on! Now's your chance make a move!"
"Erza!" I said still whispering so Juvia wouldn't hear.
"Just do it!"
"OK! OK!"
"Good. Good luck Gray! Tell Juvia I'll be there in forty-five minutes. That should give you plenty of time!"
"Ok. WAIT WHAT!" I shouted. She hung up before I could respond.
"What's wrong Gray-sama?" Juvia asked worried.
"Nothing's wrong. Erza will be here in forty-five minutes."
"Ok."
In Juvia's Mind:
YES! Thank you Erza-san! THANK YOU!
In Gray's Mind:
Thanks Erza. (BTW:I'm not being sarcastic)
Gray's POV:
"So..."
"So..."
"So, you ready for Lucy's party next Friday?"
"Yep. It's gonna be fun. What are you gonna be?"
"Probably a zombie bride, I don't know. What about you?"
"I don't know yet. Hey Juvia..."
"Yeah..."
Juvia POV:
"Juvia would you like to go to Lucy's party with me?" Shocked. Juvia shocked. For all the time Juvia has known Gray-sama, she'd never expect for him to ask her out. Sure, Juvia fantasizes him doing it but it was never an expectation. But... OH MY GOD GRAY-SAMA ASKED JUVIA OUT!
"Gray-sama, Juvia would love to go with you."
"Great! Can I pick you up at 8?"
"Yep! Now Juvia will definitely have a good time!"
Gray's POV:
I can't believe she said yes. It's unbelievable. Wow. How can a beautiful girl such as herself want to go with me.
"Yep! Now Juvia will definitely have a good time!" God she's beautiful. So beautiful I could just kiss her...
Juvia POV:
Gray-sama started to move closer and closer to Juvia. His eyes started to shut and his lips start to pucker. Is Gray-sama really going to... Juvia doesn't know why but she also started to do the same. We are centimeters apart...
Gray's POV:
This is it. I'm actually gonna do it...
*BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG**BANG*
"Gray! Juvia! You in there?" Juvia and I quickly pulled away from each other.
"Yes we're here! Who's calling?" Juvia asked nicely.
"HEY GUYS!" Oh boy... the idiot came. "It's Erza, Lucy, and Natsu. You guys ok?"
"Yep," I told them. Then Juvia I heard rustling and metal clanging, then the door swung open. Once the door was completely opened, and both Juvia's and my eyes adjusted to the sudden light, we heard light snickers. Of course it was the three of them but why? Juvia and look at each other to notice that both of us were grasping tightly to the other. We both blushed and separated quickly.
Once again, thanks Erza (BTW: this time I'm being sarcastic)
In Juvia's Mind:
F*** YOU ERZA! YOU B****! JUVIA HATES YOU! JUVIA ALMOST KISSED GRAY-SAMA! UGH! Well... at least she gets to go to the party with Gray-sama. She might get her chance there.
