Forgotten ( A Gruvia FanFiction)

Chapter- 6

Team Natsu had finally returned to the guild with their missing comrades. Everyone surrounded them and cheered while some let out tears of happiness. Carla was all bandaged up and she limped towards Wendy who hugged her feline friend with great affection. Master sprinted out his office and went into the Fairy Tail Nursing Room, where Juvia and Wendy were put to rest and got treated. He saw Gray gently place the water mage onto the bed and sat down beside her. Makarov walked up beside Gray and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"You did good boyo..." 

"hmm....I could have done better..." the ice-mage replied not taking his gaze off of her.

Wendy came to meet them a little while after with fresh bandages covering her wounds. She stood beside Juvia and looked at Gray while nodding. He returned the gesture and Wendy began her work. She placed her small child like hands on Juvia's Chest and began to cast her healing magic. It took almost like a half an hour to completely heal the water mage's wounds.

"Is she alright now Wendy?...I mean, has she fully recovered?" Gray asked, eagerness overwhelming him.

Wendy gave a half smile but it quickly fell afterward.

"She's not in any critical danger anymore but...." she trailed off.

"But what?...."

"She might be asleep for quite sometime...the injury to her head was very severe and it may have caused disruptions to the brain...making her go into a coma...."

This news shocked Gray badly, she was in a coma!? That means the possibility of her waking up again are....

He felt the hand on his shoulder tighten and was snapped out of his over worried thoughts. Makarov looked at him in the eye with no wavering what so ever....it gave him...hope. Gray settled himself and looked back at the water mage.

"Gray...is there something on your mind?" the master asked him.

"......."

*sighs*

"speak up now son, or else I'll never know what it is your thinking." he grew impatient.

"I...I'd like to take Juvia home with me...if that's possible..."

Wendy and Master looked at each other astonished. Was this really the same Gray?

"And what are you planning to do with my child when you do so Mr. Fullbuster?" he asked in a somewhat stern voice with an arched eyebrow.

Gray's eyes softened once again and replied,

"Take care of her of course...I want to be the one that does it..."

Master knew Gray must have felt responsible for this, so he didn't push him any further and simply nodded for approval. Gray thanked him with a sincere smile and watched over Juvia until it was late in the evening. He waited for everyone to visit and check up on her before taking her home with him, and when he did, it was already night. Gray put her on his blue king sized bed and realized she might need a change of clothes, so he went into his wardrobe and found the most comfortable shirt he could put her in. But there was one tiny problem....he would have to remove her current clothes >/////<....ok that was a big problem in his book. He thought of an idea to blind fold himself and then do his best to change her. His hands tied the white cloth around his eyes after he positioned himself beside her and began taking off her torn clothes. His face grew redder at every curve he would accidentally touch. After a long while of that exhausting task he finally was able to get on his black long sleeved shirt over her frame. It was pretty big on her so it covered everything...
