Like Father Like Sons

"Juvia has told Gray-sama to watch his language around Silver and Jules!" Juvia huffed as she walked back and forth in front of her husband. Usually when she was scolding Gray it was about a mission. The other times were when Gray had done something in front of his sons and they would mimic whatever he did. Whether it was something good or bad.

Like today Gray was practicing with the boys since both of them showed ice mage powers. Juvia was a little sad about their powers not being water mage related but she was alright with it. Anything to make her sons happy.

So back to earlier, Gray had taught Silver how to cast ice make floor. A simple spell, except that Gray didn't expect such power and force coming from a five year old that caused Gray to slip as well a three year old Jules. From the impact a cuss word had escaped Gray's mouth which he was to busy catching Jules to pay attention to until later when they got back home.

Silver was playing around with his toys freezing them over and over until he accidentally froze his favorite toy car.

"Damn it!" Silver exclaimed catching both his parents attention. After a deep conversation with Silver about bad words Juvia sat Gray down to scold him.

"Juvia knows Gray-sama loves Silver and Jules very much. But Gray-sama needs to be a better father figure." Before Gray could even protest at the offense Juvia had just stated she sat down by him and cupped his cheeks. "Gray-sama is a wonderful father, except that he sometimes forgets he is one." Gray sighed in agreement. His cussing habit had gotten so much better since Silver was born, so has his stripping habit. Gray had improved so much in many departments, except that sometimes he had his small mess ups.

"I know Juvia and cussing in front of the boys was on accident. I slipped and fell and tried to protect Jules from getting hurt. It was reaction from an action." Juvia nodded her head understanding him and kissed his forehead.

"Juvia needs to go prepare lunch Gray-sama, she loves you very much." Gray gave her a quick chaste kiss to return her feelings and let her leave to the kitchen.

While Gray waited he walked towards his two son's toy room to check on them. Once he arrived in front of their door he held his laughter at what he saw through the small opening of the door.

"Come on Jules stay still!" Silver demanded as he held his little brother down on the floor to paint a dark blue blob on his brothers right side of his chest. "We have to be just like dad." Gray had walked in on his sons, both shirtless, and with dark blue blobs on their right pectorals.

"Yes!" Jules agreed as he held still until his older brother was done. The little boy basically followed Silvers and his father's footsteps. Whatever they did, he did, or wanted to do.

"There now we just have to do our hair." Silver stood up and began to mess with his messy jet black hair. Jules soon followed and did the same. Since Silver was an exact copy of his dad, it was pretty easy to be him. Jules on the other hand, had just as many similarities as his did, except he had his mother's blue pupils, but his dad's narrow eyes. His nose was as sharp as his as well and his smile was exactly like his mother's. His hair was just as messy and colored like Gray's so fixing it like his was pretty easy.

"Great now we're just like dad!" Silver said as he fixed his little brother's hair a little. Gray felt his heart swell with so much love at the sight. He needed to be a better father for them than what he already was. Too teach them the good and the bad. To make sure they never lock his feelings like he did before. He swore to never give them the life he had or anything close to it.

"Come on Jules let's go show mama, then we'll surprise dad!" Silver helped Jules up and ran a hand through his hair just like Gray did. Before they could reach for the door Gray quickly walked away so he wouldn't ruin the surprise they had for him.

He went outside to find ice make spells for his sons that were as close to harmless as they could be.

"Look mama!" Silver presented himself and his brother in front of his mother in the kitchen. Juvia couldn't help but giggle at her two son's appearances. Both were shirtless with a blob of pain on their chest, their hair as messy as Gray's, his signature pants he usually wore, and the same grin he had.

"Oh my! Look at you two! Just as handsome like your daddy!" Juvia knelt down and showered her son's with hugs and kisses.

"Daddy! We're just like daddy!" Jules said as he ran around his mother.

"Come on mama lets go show dad." Silver grabbed Juvia's hand and walked her outside to find their dad.

"Gray-sama!" Juvia called out towards her husband who was practicing ice magic.

"What is it babe?" Gray turned to see his wife and grinned at his two sons.

"Look at your boys wanting to be you Gray-sama!" Juvia exclaimed as Silver and Jules ran towards him. Gray chuckled at his sons' appearances.

"We're like you dad!" Silver stood in front of his dad and performed ice make clone. An almost perfect statue of Silver appeared in front of him. It was pretty impressive for a five year old. Jules watched his brother and attempted of making a clone. Except his clone looked very little to Jules and more like just a bunch of dull and sharp pieces of ice.

"Impressive boys," Gray kneeled in front of them as he ruffled both of his son's hair. "I'm so proud of you two. Always am and always will." Juvia walked towards them with a camera and took a few shots of the father and sons interaction.

"Come on dad let's train some more so we can fight each other!" Silver pumped his fist to his side.

"Yeah daddy!" Jules mimicked his brother.

"Woah now, slow down." Gray stared at the two boys very seriously. It made him happy that they mimicked his actions and appearances, but he didn't want them to be violent at such a young age and in unnecessary situations. "Hey training isn't just about fighting. Training is to become stronger with your skills so when the time comes you can use it for good things. Understood?" Silver and Jules nodded in agreement.

"Yes dad, come on lets train!" Gray laughed at the two and continued their training on basic ice spells. Juvia went through the pictures she had taken of her three boys as she walked back inside their house.

The memories her family would have were ones that she would forever remember no matter what. She couldn't wait to show them to her boys when they got older. The faces they would make at their young childhood memories would be wonderful.

Wow look at me go just finished the second to last prompt on the same day I finished the previous one. Posted twice in a day I can check off that from my fanfiction bucket list. Lol.

It was shorter than the other ones but I liked it, I hope you guys liked it too. When I finished writing the previous one, Family Wedding Night. I saw a dad and his sons walk down the street together being all cute and shit so boom. Father and sons moments just popped in my head. I thank the dad and his sons for showing up on my street cause they gave me the inspiration for this prompt.
