One Might Call This Love (Gruvia)

Chapter Seven- Gray

Juvia's alarm went off, not like it really mattered. She couldn't sleep much last night. It might have had something to do with the fresh bruises, but either way, sleep never came.

"Soo tired."

With a yawn, she pushed the blankets off, and got out of bed. After making a quick bowl of cereal, she sat down on the couch, and turned the TV on.

"How boring."

A knock at the door grabbed her attention.

"Coming!"

Running over, she unlocked it, and the door swung open. In front of her, Erza stood there, a fresh cake in her hands.

"Erza? What are you doing here?"

"I came to visit your house!"

Without even looking at her, she pushed her way inside, and started looking around. A breeze blew in, making Juvia's arms cover in goosebumps. It was then she realized she had a T-shirt on, exposing the blue and black marks on her arms.

"Juvia will be right back! Wait here!"

She ran past Erza, slamming the door shut behind her once stepping into her room. With a sigh, she threw a sweatshirt on, and stepped back out. Erza sat in the living room, digging into the cake.

"Yours is out in the car."

With a smile, she shoved another piece in her mouth. Juvia smiled back, and put her shoes on. After retrieving the cake, she sat down next to the red-head.

"So, tell Juvia more about this wedding."

"Ah, the color scheme is blue for the girls, and red for the guys. You're allowed to bring someone with if you'd like."

"Juvia sees. Is there anything you need help with?"

After a moment of thinking, her face lit up.

"I still have to pick out my dress! Why don't we do that!"

"Okay!"

Juvia smiled, and finished off her cake.

"Just let Juvia get dressed!"

"Alright."

She stepped into her room once again, and pulled a long sleeve shirt out with a pair of leggings. Once dressed, she walked back into the living room and smiled.

"Ready!"

"Great!"

Erza wanted to go for a walk, and it was silent until town started to show up ahead.

"Ah, do you know any good shops around here? Ones that sell dresses?"

"There is this place close to the resteraunt from last night. Juvia sees wedding dresses in there all the time."

"Great. So tell me, how are you doing in school?"

"Juvia is doing good. Juvia gets to graduate this year."

"Really? Time flies. I'll be getting married, and you'll be graduating."

"Juvia was wondering, are you scared?"

"Hmm? About what?"

"About starting a family."

With a small laugh, she turned to face in front of her again.

"Of course I'm scared. But you can't be brave without being scared, right?"

"You're right. Juvia has another question."
