Nalu & Gruvia One-Shots

Gruvia - Nightmare

**SPOILERS! I think. I spoiled it for myself so I don't really know the entire story, but yea. I think you have to be past Tartaros Arc to know not have spoilers. ;) Note: I warned you. I take no responsibility if you decide to read it and are disappointed in the spoilers.**

She's crazy if she thinks she's sleeping in my bed. Gray huffs as he quickly pushes her out of his room. But what's new?

Juvia sighs in defeat as she drags her feet towards her own room. She moved in with Gray after Fairy Tail disbanded. She missed the liveliness of that place, but there's nothing she can do about it. She takes the bright side in seeing that there are no girls around to compete for Gray's heart anymore. She can finally spend the time with him she deserves.

Gray mutters about Juvia's crazy imagination as he finds a comfortable spot in his bed to sleep.

Gray wakes up even before the sun. He looks out his window to see that it's snowing. It's about time. He goes to get out of bed and get ready for the day. Perfect day for training.

Once ready, he heads down the hall to see if Juvia's awake so they can go train. She'd freak if she woke up and he wasn't in the house. He gently knocks on her door, "Juvia?" He calls in quietly, just in case she's sleeping. No reply. Gray decides to wait for her anyway, so he heads into the kitchen to make breakfast.

He just sets the plates on the table when a scream resounds from Juvia's room. "No! Please!" She cries out. He bursts into her room. He knows that he's set rules for privacy to protect his dignity, and he realizes he's breaking this rule by entering her room, but he simply chooses not to care.

"Juvia!" He looks around the room, relieved to see that no evil murderer has broken into the house or anything like that. He does see Juvia trembling in her bed, eyes sealed shut. As he quietly approaches her, he finds that she's still sleeping. The poor girl is probably having a nightmare. He's overcome with a wave of empathy. He's had some pretty bad dreams in his past, too.

She screams again and he realizes he can't just sit there and watch her go through whatever pain is being distributed to her in her nightmare. He grabs her shoulders and shakes her, attempting to gently call her back from the dark place in her mind that she resides in. "Juvia. Juvia, wake up. Come on, Juvia. You're okay, it's me, Gray."

Her eyes don't open, and she keeps shaking. Sweat covers her body and Gray keeps trying, "Juvia. Juvia! Wake up!" He shakes her harder and harder until he thinks that if he shakes any harder she'll be sick. He grabs a pillow off of her bed and mutters, "Sorry." Before whacking her with it. Not too hard, he doesn't want to put her in more pain. All she does is scream louder. He mutters another apology before putting the pillow down and scour his brain for any other ideas on how to wake up his teammate.

After thinking through more of Juvia's screaming, he rushes into the kitchen, returning with a large beaker filled with ice cold water. At first he tries just pouring a little on her, not wanting to get her or the bed too wet, but after failing, he curses whoever's hurting Juvia in her dream. He holds the beaker out in front of him and dumps the whole thing over her head, quickly ensuring himself it's fine since she's a water mage.

Juvia just keeps shaking. Gray's starting to get really worried at this point. He rips the sheets off of the bed, but she still sleeps. He goes back for another beaker of ice water and tries that again, but only results in an even more wet bed even more. 

How is she sleeping through this? Gray huffs. He refuses to freeze the water that is already so cold. Last time he froze her she almost died. But, thanks to his quick thinking, they're both alive today.
