WENDY's POV
Is it just me or did Gray-nii started to became addicted going to the balcony just to watch the sea?
"Oi, ice prick where the hell are you going?" Natsu-nii asked Gray-nii who was walking away right after our family dinner last night.
Gray-nii didn't replied and just continued walking, leaving all of us worried.
"He's just obsessed in finding his mate." Jellal-nii answered when I asked him what's wrong about Gray-nii. But still, there's this one piece that's missing.
"You know, I too was surprised when he declared the other day that he will find his mate. I even thought that he would never care about his mate at all." Dad said and grabbed another taco, eating it.
"Do you think he loves her?" I blurted out and dad glanced at me, a smile curved on his lips.
"Think so"
"Gray-nii?" I called when I saw him leaning on the balcony again. Hours later, the Masquerade Ball will be starting.
Gray-nii turned and I saw the sadness on his eyes that makes me want to cry.
"Wendy, what are you doing here?" he asked and I can see the frown on his face.
"I... just wanted some fresh air... That's all." I fake laughed and he just turned his back again.
I walked towards the side beside him and leaned on the balcony, staring out to the big wide sea.
"Have you seen her already?" I asked it took a moment for him to reply.
"I saw her walk towards this sea. I heard her voice too. But it seemed like she's still too far away." he said, his voice unusually soft.
"I see... she's a mermaid." I said, understanding the fact that it's hard to look underwater especially if you're not a great swimmer.
There was a long silence but I decided to break it when I fake stretched my arms.
"Well, I gotta get going, nii-san. The ball is about to start and-"
"I'm always thinking of you, even on days we don't meet." a very sweet voice was heard and I froze in place.
Is it... her?
GRAY's POV
Wendy froze and I think my whole body froze too.
That voice...
"Everytime I feel..."
It's her...
"Ah the warmth of your palm envelopes me"
It's really her...
"Heart and-"
What the-?
"Oi Wendy! Gray! What the hell are you doing there!" I heard Natsu's voice and it seems like I just woke up from a dream.
Wendy seems like one too as she turned her head towards our back.
"Natsu-nii!" she called and I began searching for her voice again.
It has to be her!
"Oi Gray the ball is about to start, Igneel said we should already prepare because of The Royals are coming here." Flame Brain said. snapping me out of my thoughts.
That's right... She's a princess...
She's a royal...
Does that mean she will come here?
Come in the palace?
I adjusted the sleeves on my wrist and... alright, I'm ready to go.
"Hey Gray!" I heard dad's voice and when I turned around, the first thing I saw was a glimpse of blue.
"Oh, Princess Juvia, this is my son, Gray. Gray, this is, Juvia. The Princess of The Deep Blue Sea. She's the daughter of my buddy back in my younger days." dad said and grinned at the girl beside him.
I looked over to the girl. She looked very familiar. Blue hair... Navy Blue eyes... Hair like waves of the sea...
Wait, princess of the deep blue sea? Mermaids?
"Did you just said-"
"Nice to meet you, Gray-sama." the girl spoke and I felt a chill ran to my spine.
I saw her hand held out for me to shake it and a smile curved on her lips.
That voice...
I shakily held out my hand and almost groaned when she shook my hand.
When her hand was out of my grasp, I growled a bit and thankfully, no one heard it.
"Gray, Juvia, I have to leave you two to greet other visitors, is that alright?" dad spoke up and I looked back at her. She's also looking at me with a blush on her face and I barely stopped myself from kissing her.
She broke our eye contact and looked at my dad instead, smiling at him while I continued to observe her whole picture.
Is she really my mate?
Why does it feel... I don't know... uncomfortable?
"Gray-sama?" I was ripped out of my thoughts and I blinked many times before I looked at her again.
"Huh?"
"Are you ok?" I focused my eyes only at hers before I slowly looked downwards to her lips.
I immediately saw images in my mind where I saw her kissing with me...
I looked downwards and saw her very pale and untouched neck. Images went in my head again. Me kissing my way down to her neck, licking, kissing, biting and sucking it.
Downwards, I saw her big luscious breasts... My hand removing her bra and-
"G-Gray-sama?" she squealed and that's when I realized that I was falling down and...
JUVIA's POV
"Gray-sama!" I yelled when I saw him getting unconscious and falling down.
"Gray!" I heard another voice.
"Gray-nii!" And another.
And another.
And another.
Many people calling Gray and all I could was held his head. Oh, right. I managed to catch his head for it not to fall to the ground too. He can have amnesia if it falls down hard too.
It will be a lot of effort to make him remind of his family... his friends... himself...
and me.
Two days ago, I dreamt of a man with me. His dark hair... his voice... his groan...
Everything but his eyes.
I never saw his eyes, unlike now.
The first time I saw him earlier, I felt like I'm about to get lost at his stare.
His eyes where so cold... but you can see the pain he has been through when you look deeper into it.
It feels odd but I feel like I can feel the weight of his pain on me.
"What happened to him?" a voice snapped me from my thoughts and my eyes landed on a girl with dark blue hair.
She looked at me and I saw the worry on her eyes.
She looked like Gray-sama too... So does that mean this girl is Princess Wendy-san?
"Juvia, what happened?" dad's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I frowned.
"Gray-sama just fell after he... I don't know... Stared at something..." I answered dad and all of them looked at me with a confused look. I call Silver-sama 'dad' because he is my dad's best friend and when dad died, Silver-sama was the one he trusted me to. Not Jose.
"Stared?" a more stern voice questioned, I turned to see a man with blue hair. He looks like Gray-sama a bit too.
"Jellal-nii!" Wendy-san called and my eyes widened.
Jellal?
"Juvia?" I heard another familiar voice and I peeked behind Jellal-san.
"Erza-san!" I called out, shocked.
"I see that you've already took the courage to get out of your jail too." I felt my eyes widened and my lips curved into a frown.
She too has been living in a jail ever since she's little. We only met when her auntie let her swim on the sea for a day. And since them, she'd been talking to me every night without a fail. But she stopped when she lost him.
Erza-san walked her way towards me and I forced a smile.
"So, have you seen him already?" I asked and she frowned.
Huh? What's wrong?
"Sadly, I forgot about his name. But it can't stop me from finding him." she said in a stern voice and my eyes fell on Jellal-san.
But... wasn't his name Jellal?
GRAY's POV
My eyes fluttered open and felt my comfortable and soft mattress. But then, I felt the bed shift and my eyes fell on the figure sitting on my bed.
I immediately sit up and found my room very dark. But the figure leaned towards the light coming from the window and I relaxed a little.
"Gray-sama?" she called out and my breath hitched when she touch my arm.
"J-Juvia, what are you doing here?" I felt very uncomfortable alone with the woman I thought was my mate and in my dark room! How bad can this day turn out!
"Gray-sama fell unconscious earlier but he was lucky that Juvia managed to save him and when Gray-sama's family came and asked what happened. Then they decided to take you to your room and Ju- I volunteered to accompany you until you have woke up." she explained and smiled awkwardly.
There was a long silence as we stared at each other and I felt myself lean closer towards her.
I don't know what I'm doing but... my instincts told me so.
I can see her cheeks turned pink when our nose touched and I stared at her eyes.
"Gray- hmp!" I didn't let her finish her and just trusted my guts. I groaned at the feeling of her soft lips molding with mine.
She started to kiss back and when I opened my eyes, her eyes were closed. I smirked before pulling away and smirked wider when she fell on me.
Her blush darkens and that's what I asked for.
"Why not we attend the ball, shall we?"
A/N: Hi! Omg since many have suggested Gruvia and my hands are itching to type one... Omg I think many expected for it to be lemon hahahah. I'm seriously writing the lemon before the end of the week hahahah. We have an exam next week so basically, I won't be able to post the chapter after this one. Hmmm.. any OTP suggestions? lol. Ang look, I think I wrote a Jerza moment there.
Thank you so much for those who continue to review! Anyways, me and hikariscarlettt created a story A Clandestine Love Affair. It's posted on my account so maybe check it out after you read this? It's a lemon too by the way.
P.S. the song that Juvia (the mermaid) is singing is the English version of 'Be as One', a closing song in Fairy Tail that mostly focuses on Gray's life. I believe it's the 4th closing song... I guess.
