Bonus Chapter 2-
Juvia woke up abruptly an hour and a half later when she moved her hand and heard a male groan. With her eyes now wide open, she realised she was resting beside Gray and using his arm as her pillow. The hand that she had moved slightly…well, Juvia blushed and quickly sat up, folding her hands together on her lap as she peered back down at Gray.
It wasn't all a dream then, she thought, a smile growing on her lips, Juvia and Gray-sama are together!
It was something she had longed for and now there they were, it was almost unbelievable. She was reminded then of someone she had shared her dreams with and excitement rushed through her, she should tell him about what's happened!
She tried not to disturb Gray as she climbed off the bed and moved over to one of her bedside tables. She bent over and slowly eased open the middle drawer, pulling out a couple of sheets of paper and a pen to write with. Casting a quick glance back over to Gray to make sure he was alright, she then crept over to the small table in the corner of her room and placed her writing things on its top.
She was about to start writing when Gray mumbled, "Juvia?"
She turned to look at him and found he was propping himself up with his elbows and staring sleepily at her. She smiled happily at him.
"Gray-sama, you're awake," she commented, then she froze, "Oh no! Did Juvia wake you up?"
He averted his gaze quickly, "Nah."
He wasn't about to admit that he had come awake as soon as she had left his side, he didn't want to make her feel bad or anything.
"So, what are you doing there, Juvia?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.
She grinned, "Juvia is going to write a letter to Jellal-kun!"
Gray blinked and then jumped up and tumbled off the bed.
"You're what!" he exclaimed as he scrambled to his feet.
Juvia's happy expression didn't falter, "Juvia is going to write to Jellal-kun."
The ice mage gaped and then tried to form a sentence, "You, Jellal, writing…when? Friend? 'Kun'? How? But…Jellal!"
She giggled, "Juvia befriended Jellal-kun during the first couple of nights of the Grand Magic Games. Jellal-kun is very nice."
Gray crossed his arms irritably, "Befriended him? At night?"
Juvia didn't pick up on the jealousy narrowing her boyfriend's eyes.
"Yes," she answered, "Juvia and Jellal-kun spoke for hours, forming a bond over our shared pain and loneliness."
"Bond?" questioned Gray in a growl, "Loneliness?"
"Yes," Juvia sighed wistfully, staring unfocusedly as she thought back, "It was lovely, Jellal-kun and Juvia have much in common."
Gray pulled a face, "You both have blue hair?"
Juvia nodded and then added seriously, "And we both know how it feels to love someone who we will never be with."
The ice mage raised his eyebrow, "Oh yeah?"
Blushing slightly, Juvia replied, "Of course, now Juvia is with her love…which is why Juvia is going to write to Jellal-kun! To share the good news!"
Gray awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, "Uh…Juvia, I'm not so sure that's a good idea…"
Jellal Fernandes was a wanted fugitive after all and attempts to contact him could be very risky.
Juvia sighed, "Gray-sama is probably right, it wouldn't be very nice of Juvia to rub her happiness in Jellal-kun's face…"
"Yeah," agreed Gray, "Wait…what?"
"It would only remind Jellal-kun that he is not with Erza-san," the water mage continued sadly, not hearing Gray.
She then brightened and cried, "This is perfect, Gray-sama!"
He winced, almost afraid to ask, "What is?"
Juvia clapped her hands together and her eyes shone, "To repay Erza-san for taking the request, Juvia is going to play matchmaker!"
Gray slumped, "This can't be good…"
"Juvia will get Erza-san and Jellal-kun together! And they'll live happily ever after and have thirty three babies!"
She rushed forward and rather forcefully hugged Gray, as if she was trying to give him some of her joy by crushing him to her.
"I don't think that's such a good idea," he managed to wheeze, "You can't just go around and try getting people together."
"Juvia will get Mira-chan to help!"
Imagining Erza's reaction if whatever Juvia planned went wrong, Gray shuddered and decided he needed to stop his girlfriend before she did something incredibly stupid.
"And then Juvia will need to think of someway to repay Mira-chan…"
I need to distract her, make her forget about matchmaking and all that crap, he thought with a tinge of desperation.
Inspiration struck him then. He smirked and curved his arms around her, placing his hands on her lower back. Her hold on him loosened a bit.
"Juvia," he whispered in her ear.
"Yes, Gray-sama?"
"Are you still tired?" he asked, his hands slipping down over her ass.
"N-no!" she squeaked in answer.
"Good," he purred into her neck, causing her to shiver.
He guided them back over to the bed and then all but threw her onto it. She bounced a little, bringing his attention to her plump breasts that strained the material of her singlet. He licked his lips and stepped closer before crawling onto the bed as well.
Juvia slowly fell backwards as she watched him with half closed eyes, her soft hair spreading out around her. Gray moved to lie beside her, supporting his weight with his right forearm and then trapping her lower half with his left leg. He pressed a kiss to her exposed neck and she sighed.
He was reminded of his earlier 'plans.' He grinned against her pale skin and brought his left hand up to rest on her stomach, thinking he would start slowly and not rush things with her. He sucked on her pulse point, causing her to moan and snake a hand up to tangle into his messy hair.
Then he kissed further up her neck and inched the hand he had on her stomach upwards until his fingertips brushed the underside of her breast. Her eyes had fallen closed and he couldn't help but notice her breathing had sped up slightly. He kissed the corner of her mouth and teased her lips with his hot tongue. She gasped and tugged on his hair, prompting him to smirk.
She turned her head and he growled in approval as she allowed him entrance to her mouth and boldly licked his lips. While her hand pulled his head closer, his finally cupped one of her large breasts, drawing forth a needy sound from her.
Their tongues slid against each other and made their bodies pulse with heat and electricity. He couldn't stop himself from rolling his hips against her side, sending intense pleasure lancing through him.
Under his palm, her hardened nipple called for his attention and he wasn't about to let it be ignored. He played with it through the thin materials of her bra and singlet, causing Juvia to arch and tear her mouth away from his as a moan escaped her.
"G-gray-s-sama!" she panted.
Oh, he really liked hearing her like that, his body tightened and heated further, which he didn't think was possible.
He stared down at her familiar and always beautiful face, proud that her cheeks were pink and her eyes had darkened with her desire for him. Her lips were parted slightly and were invitingly shiny, a pulse of heat shot along his body and coiled down low as he stared.
"Gray-sama?" she whispered, moving her other arm so her hand could explore the contours of his back.
He buried his face in her neck and slowly swirled his tongue along the sensitive skin there. She shivered and hummed low and approvingly, her fingers digging into him and sparking a dark hunger inside. He moved and slid his hand under her singlet, growling at the feel of her soft, warm skin and then sucking her neck harder.
Juvia pulled at him as her desire rushed down and throbbed between her legs, she tried to get him to shift onto her more, she needed to feel him completely up against her. He didn't want to move however and, even with her mind shorting out from the new sensations, she could guess why.
His mouth was slowly but purposefully making its way down her neck and past her collarbone. Her hand clenched in his thick hair as he licked between her breasts. He slipped his hand out from beneath her top and went to pull it down at the neckline, but, just as his fingers curled around the material, there was a loud BANG.
Gray and Juvia jumped, the latter letting out a startled yelp as they both turned to see who had shoved open the door.
"I can't believe it!" exclaimed the familiar voice of Natsu Dragneel.
"Natsu!" cried Lucy, smacking his torso with her small fist, "You can't just burst into people's room like that! Oh…oh!"
The blonde had finally realised the position Juvia and Gray were in; she turned bright red and quickly covered Natsu's eyes.
Gray glared at the two intruders, reluctantly separated himself from his girlfriend and then sat up.
"What the hell are you two doing here?" he growled, he wasn't just angry at the interruption; he could sense Juvia's embarrassment and discomfort, she was practically hiding behind him.
Natsu pulled Lucy's hand away from his face and then shrugged.
"I heard Erza and Mira talking about you," he answered carelessly; "I didn't think they were telling the truth though."
"What'd those nosey she-demons say?" demanded Gray.
"That you and Juvia are together now," chirped Lucy with a grin, her earlier blush disappearing.
"Well…we are," he admitted, meeting their gazes in challenge, "Got something to say about it, flame-brain?"
He had, obviously, directed the last part at Natsu, who surprisingly responded with, "She's way too good for you, you know that right, frost face?"
Gray peered over at Juvia, who still seemed completely dazed by the new arrivals, then he nodded sharply. To avoid the unsettling feeling of actually agreeing with Natsu, Gray added, "But I'm not gonna let anyone take her away."
Juvia cheeks turned pink and Gray looked away from her so he wouldn't smile, he had an image to maintain after all.
"Well," said Lucy, coughing awkwardly, "I guess we'll just…um, leave you alone and go back to the guild…"
"Yeah," Natsu grinned, "It's lunchtime!"
Lucy rolled her eyes, "You ate just before we came here!"
"That was ages ago," the dragon slayer countered, mimicking her by rolling his eyes as well.
The two turned to leave but had to turn back as Juvia called out, "Wait, Juvia wants to go to the guild too!"
The minutes without Gray touching her had allowed her mind to regain its normal functioning and she had recalled her decision to talk to Mira about setting up Erza and Jellal.
"You do?" Gray asked her, wincing and accepting the fact he had failed in his distraction plan.
"Yes!" she responded brightly, "We can have some lunch there too, Gray-sama, after talking with Mira-chan."
Gray exhaled noisily, "Well, I suppose I am a bit hungry…"
"Hurry up then!" called Natsu a few seconds before he darted out the room, "I'm starving!"
Lucy mumbled something grumpily under her breath and then followed him. Juvia scrambled off the bed and quickly found some shoes while Gray shuffled to the edge of the bed and sat moodily. When she was ready, the water mage stood by the door.
"Are you coming, Gray-sama?" she asked.
He sighed, "Yeah, you go on ahead though, I just need a few minutes."
She tilted her head and eyed him with concern, "If Gray-sama is sure…"
He nodded and she hesitantly left the room, soon catching up with Lucy.
"Is Lucy jealous of Juvia?" the water mage asked the blonde to distract herself, smirking just a little.
Lucy gave her an incredulous look, "No, don't be ridiculous, I'm happy for you."
Juvia remarked, "It will be nice now that Juvia doesn't have to worry so much about love rivals anymore."
Lucy nodded and the water mage continued, "Maybe Juvia and Lucy can become better friends…as long as Lucy doesn't try to use Juvia to get to Gray-sama!"
Lucy face-palmed and shook her head, "How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not interested in him like that."
Juvia watched her with suspicion as they walked and then nodded to herself.
"Because Lucy loves Natsu-kun."
A vibrant blush crept up the blonde's neck and she spluttered, "N-no! W-what gave you that idea?"
They were just exiting the Fairy Hills building when Gray caught up to them. He put his arm around Juvia's shoulders and then blinked at the blonde.
"Whoa, Lucy," he said, "Did Natsu burn your face or something?"
Lucy growled wordlessly and averted her gaze while Juvia giggled and felt her own face turn slightly pink at Gray's closeness. The ice mage was about to ask Juvia to explain Lucy's embarrassment, but then he noticed the expression of realisation on his girlfriend's face.
"What is it now?" he questioned on a sigh, defeated and predicting her saying something outrageous.
Juvia smiled up at him, "Maybe Lucy will help Juvia and Mira-chan!"
Lucy frowned and kicked a pebble off the path, "With what exactly?"
Juvia ignored the question as another idea struck her; she leaned up to whisper in Gray's ear.
"Juvia should also get Lucy and Natsu-kun together!"
Gray snorted, not trying to reply stealthily, "Good luck with that."
Lucy watched them with narrowed eyes and Juvia whispered to Gray again, more seriously this time.
"Gray-sama is going to help Juvia, right?"
He sighed and again he didn't bother to speak quietly, "Juvia, even I can't do the impossible."
"Nothing is impossible for you, Gray-sama!" she exclaimed, catching Lucy's attention once more.
The remainder of the walk to Fairy Tail had Lucy trying to figure out what they had been talking about and Gray making sure Juvia didn't crash into anything because she was stuck in her imagination.
When they arrived at the guild, Natsu was already at the bar and shovelling something spicy into his mouth while he also tried to talk with Mira. All of the members of Fairy Tail then shared an odd moment of silence as they all took in the sight of Gray with his arm around Juvia.
The guild erupted into cheers and shouts, the most common sentiments being 'It's about time Gray manned up!' and 'Juvia, please take me instead!'
Gray sighed as their friends began crowding around them, demanding answers. He looked around for an escape route and then his eyebrows shot up in surprise. Juvia followed his gaze, gasping at the sight of Lyon sulking in the corner of the guild.
"What is he doing here?" she asked, looking up at Gray in confusion.
Gray grumbled, "Not sure, but I suppose I couldn't expect him to stay frozen to my apartment forever…"
Juvia blinked and then glanced back to the other ice mage, noticing that he was being comforted by a rather affectionate Cana.
Gray felt dread roll down his spine as he watched Juvia gain that mischievous smile again.
"Juvia has had another idea, Gray-sama," she said excitedly, clapping her hands together.
He couldn't help but groan, "Juvia."
