A/N: Hi guys :D
I decided to actually go through with this filler, because who doesn't love a little bit of Gruvia ^.^
We will return back to the original story on the next chapter so count this as a little bonus :)
(Gray's pov)
"Next stop Ice King Palace!", The speakers on the bus announced as it started to slow down.
"This is our stop!", Juvia said as she yanked me out of my seat and pulled me closer to her.
"J-Juvia?! The bus still hasn't stopped!"
"Yeah but it's going to stop any second now and Juvia wants us to get off first!"
'I've been wondering why does she talk in third person?'
'Ehh….maybe it's a habit for her'
"Now come on!"
The bus screeched to a grinding halt jerking me back and forth. I held on to Juvia's hand so neither of us would fall.
She started blushing a slight shade of pink as she squeezed my hand. She had a timid smile on her face as she shyly looked me in the eyes.
"I-I didn't know w-we were at that stage already", Juvia whispered as she looked at our entwined hands.
'What is she talking about-
"OH! SORRY ABOUT THAT!", I yanked my hand away from hers as a ginormous blush covered my face
"N-No it's ok!", Juvia said as the bus doors opened.
"W-we should get going!", I rubbed the back of my neck.
"Yeah!", Juvia said as the both of us walked into the warm sunlight.
We saw the gigantic ice rink stadium in front of us. It was huge, it stretched on for miles and miles. It looked like a gigantic gray dome.
"Can't wait to get in there and experience the cold air", I breathed out not really noticing what I was saying.
"Me too! Juvia doesn't really like the sun!"
"Really?!"
"Um…..yeah Juvia prefers the rain more than the hot rays of sunshine"
"I prefer the snow but I guess I like the rain too since it could be turned into ice"
"Really?!"
"Yup! The sun and heat in general belong to Hot Sauce!"
"Hot Sauce?"
"Oh right! You probably don't know what that means! I call Natsu, you know the boy I came with during english, Hot Sauce", I smiled proudly
'I really come up with best nicknames! Good job me!
"Why?"
"Because he loves anything hot or warm just like how I love things that are cold or chilly"
"Oh Juvia gets it now!"
"Speaking of things that are cold, let's get in there already and skate!"
"Alright!"
Juvia and I stepped inside the chilly dome stadium that had a ginormous ice rink in the middle and other activities to the side.
'Oh they have a restaurant to the side! We could probably get a bite to eat after we're done eating, I'm starving…'
"Gray-sama! We better hurry before everyone else takes all of the available skates"
"Oh snap! You're right let's go!", I reached for Juvia's hand but I stopped myself just before I grabbed it.
'What's wrong with me! Why do I always want to grab her hand! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!'
Juvia just stood in front of me blushing a bright red while looking at my pained expression.
"G-Gray-s-sama…..if you really want to…..we could hold hands during this…..date", she said as she fidgeted in one spot.
Now it was my turn to blush. I couldn't hold it back it engulfed my face.
'She's sooo cute- SNAP OUT OF IT GRAY! Stop thinking like that!'
GULP
"Uh…..sure I wouldn't want you….to get lost", I whispered more to myself as I entwined my right hand with her left hand.
'Our hands fit perfectly together!'
I could tell Juvia noticed this too because she squeezed my hand.
"Let's go get some skates already!", I said as me and Juvia walked hand in hand to the counter where you could rent skates.
"Two pairs of skates please!", I said to the man in the counter as I raised two fingers up.
"Understood, now would you please give me your shoe sizes"
After we gave the man our shoe sizes he handed us our skates. Mine looked worn out but Juvia's looked brand new.
"Your girlfriend's lucky she got one of the brand new skates that have never been used before", the man in the counter said as he shot us a smile.
Juvia and I blushed a deep red.
"W-We're not dating!", I exclaimed as I stared at the ground.
"Really? You guys look cute together!"
"N-NO WE DON'T!"
"Juvia agrees with the nice man! Gray-sama and Juvia would make the cutest couple in the planet!"
"Juvia?! Not you too?!"
Juvia and the man just smiled at me as my blush grew brighter and brighter.
"Let's just go skate already! C'mon Juvia!", I entwined our hands again and pulled her to the entrance of the ice rink.
"Wait Gray-sama! Aren't we supposed to put our skates on first before we go ice skating?"
"Say what now?", I looked at my feet noticing that I still had my black shoes on.
"Oh I completely forgot!"
"Baka!"
Juvia and I both removed our shoes and handed them to the guy in the counter. He gave us a puzzled look but he ignored my stupidity.
"Now we can skate!"
"Yay!"
Juvia clinged to my arm as we both stepped into the cold frozen rink.
I didn't mind letting her cling to me, it actually feel really good.
'What am I thinking?! I'm so confused?!'
"GRAY-SAMA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Hmm?"
Juvia looked at my chest as a shade of pink tinted her cheeks.
"What are you looking at-
"AW MAN! I thought I was over this weird habit!"
I didn't even realize that I was taking off my shirt. It just happened without me knowing it. Good thing Juvia stopped me.
"Thanks Juvia for warning me", I sent her a smile as we continued to skate around the rink.
"No problem Gray-sama! Although Juva still thinks it's weird that Gray-sama still strips"
"How did you know that I stripped before?!"
"You mean you don't remember?"
"Remember what?"
"I was in all of your classes in middle school"
"Really?!"
"You mean you didn't notice me…..at all?"
I shook my head making Juvia lower her head in disappointment.
"I guess it makes sense since Juvia never went up to Gray-sama during middle school"
"Why didn't you?"
"Because! Juvia was too nervous and shy!"
"You shouldn't have been"
"Juvia knows! It's just Juvia thought that Gray-sama wouldn't like Juvia!"
"Why would I think that? You're an amazing person! I definitely like you!"
'Wait a minute! What did I just say?!'
Juvia smiled warmly at me and clung tighter to my arm.
'Eh nevermind I don't care how embarrassing my last statement was. It made her smile so it was worth the little embarrassment'
"Gray-sama I want to…..tell you something"
"What is it?"
"Alright people this is for all the couples who are skating on the rink right now. I hope you all like slow romantic music!", the DJ blasting the music said into his mic as he placed a new CD in.
'Oh no! A slow romantic song! What should we do?! Should we get off the rink since we're not a couple?!'
GULP
"Yay! Slow music with Gray-sama!", Juvia yelled out as she hugged my arm tighter.
'Juvia's enjoying this I can't take this moment away from her. I guess we're going to have to skate with the couples in the rink'
The DJ started up the slow song while the non couples got off the rink. It was only Me, Juvia, and six other people on the rink.
Once the song started playing all of the couples started to act all lovey dovey around us. It was making me feel really embarrassed.
"Gray-sama?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you"
"..."
'Did I just hear her right?! Did she….just confess to me?!'
"WHAT?!"
I stopped skating making Juvia stop skating as well. We stood in front of each other in the middle of the ring making everyone stare at us.
Juvia's eyes were glowing while she was staring into my eyes.
'What should I say?! Should I-
"Looks like a couple wants to kiss instead of skate which is totally fine with us!", the DJ yelled in his mic as he flashed a spotlight at us.
'Shit!'
Everyone around us started whistle and clap.
Juvia and I blushed a gigantic shade of red as we kept on staring at each other.
'You know she really is cute…..'
"KISS! KISS! KISS!", our audience cheered making me nervous.
GULP
"Gray-sama…...it's ok if you don't….want to", Juvia whispered as she lowered her gaze from me.
"...It's ok….I don't mind", I whispered back as I lowered my gaze too.
Juvia's head shot up
"R-REALLY?!"
I nodded not wanting to say anything else.
"Let's do…..this….."
I cupped her cheek with my right hand. It was trembling just like how my heart was.
'Can I really go through with this?!'
"Gray-sama…..", Juvia whispered with a soft voice as she closed her eyes.
My lips started to move closer and closer to Juvia's. I was waiting for her warm soft lips to touch mine, but I never felt them.
Instead my face was greeted by the ice cold floor.
SLAM!
"GRAY-SAMA!"
…
'Why do I feel so warm?'
I began to open my heavy eyes to the sight of my dark cold room.
'Wait what?! How did I get here?!'
"Oh good! You're finally awake! Just in time for dinner!", my Step-Mom said as she walked in with a tray of food in her hands.
"Mom?! What am I doing here?! Where's Juvia?!"
She chuckled at the way I was acting.
"Calm down Gray, Juvia brought you here after you passed out"
"I passed out?!"
"Yes, Juvia said that you fainted during your date with her"
My face grew hot as she said the word date. This only made her smirk at me.
"The school year just started and you already had a date with a girl. I'm so proud of you son!"
"Stop!", I yelled out as my blush grew brighter and brighter.
"I bet you fainted because you two were about to kiss", she purred as she smirked wider.
"N-NO!"
My Mom continued to stare at my face. It felt like she was trying to read my expressions.
"OMG! That is the reason why you fainted! I could tell by your flushed face!", she said as she pointed at my pink face.
"MOM!"
