summary: It'd be easy to kiss her if she'd just stay still.

"Aah, Gray-sama is such a gentleman! First buying Juvia dinner, then ice cream, then walking her home! Waah!"

Gray shrugged, standing outside her door with his hands in his pockets. "Well, that's how dates usually go, isn't it?"

Juvia squealed, cupping her cheeks and popping her foot in the air. "Juvia always dreamed of this moment! And Gray-sama was so perfect… reserving a romantic dinner, feeding Juvia—"

"Er, you kinda left me no choice—"

"—and looking so handsome, whisking Juvia away by the arm! Uwaah! And then after…"

The girl trailed off, rambling aimlessly while Gray simply watched her and tilted his head. The end of dates typically concluded with a goodnight kiss, but she didn't seem to be pausing for breath any time soon. Was she even aware how fast she was talking? How her eyes were sparkling with a bright smile while a cute blush adorned her cheeks?

Maybe he'd interrupt her with a kiss. Girls liked that kind of thing, right? Spontaneity in the spur of the moment?

So he waited, half-listening to what she was saying, more gauging when would be the most opportune moment. She was giggling now, her eyes merrily closed and her head tilted to one side.

Well, now seemed as good a time as ever.

Leaning forward, he angled his face and brought his lips to hers—but she ducked her head between her giggles, leading his mouth to brush the tip of her nose instead.

She squeaked at the touch, her hands flying to her nose and her eyes snapping to his.

"G-Gray-sama…! W-What are you—"

He sniffed before whipping his head away, hiding the faint blush on his cheeks. "I, uh—I tried to kiss you, ain't it obvious?"

The girl's eyes widened. "K-K… Kiss…?!" She immediately swooned, hearts springing around her. "Waah, Gray-sama! Again!"

He frowned at her, furrowing his brow. "Will you stay still this time?"

"Yes yes!" she nodded zealously, eagerly shutting her eyes.

"Er, fine," he mumbled, averting his gaze before clearing his throat. He leaned towards her once more, hearing her breath hitch in her throat when his lips lightly brushed against hers. As he leaned closer to seal the distance, she suddenly whisked her face to the side, and his mouth pressed against her cheek.

She peeped again while Gray grumbled, giving her a flat look.

"Juvia—"

"Juvia's sorry! Sh-She's just—so—"

Slipping his hands beneath her jaw, he held her still as he leaned forward and captured her lips. Her eyes widened, and her cheeks warmed beneath his thumbs as he slanted his mouth and brought her face closer to his.

She made a small sound against his lips, her fingers finding the collar of his jacket before sliding around his neck. Tilting her head, she shyly returned his kiss, flushing darker at the way his mouth moved against her lips. His tongue prompted her mouth open before slipping inside, sliding against hers and eliciting the softest of whimpers from the girl.

Pulling away slowly, he gently brushed his lips against hers before easing his hands from her face.

"There," he murmured, and Juvia blushed at the warm breath tickling her lips. "Was that so hard?"

She said nothing, her mind still reeling from the tingling sensation lingering from his kiss. But then her knees gave out on her, and his arms quickly circled her waist as she collapsed into his chest.

"Uh—hey!" he called, looking down to the girl huddled against him. "You okay?"

Her eyes were spinning, her cheek resting against her hands pressed against his chest. "G-Gray-sama… kissed Juvia… with tongue…!"

He stiffened, a warm blush covering his cheeks as he hoisted her higher in his arms.

"O-Oi, don't faint on me—"

"Waah~ Juvia can't feel her legs~"

"Don't melt either!"

"Aah…"

Gray twitched, tightening his grip around her when she began to slide down his chest. If she was melting from just a kiss, he'd definitely have to invest in a waterbed for the future.
