Forget the love (FairyTail Fanfiction •Gruvia•)

Happy birthday

"Lucy!" Juvia jumped on Lucy, "Juvia is sorry!!!" She cried.

Lucy was shocked but smiled and hugged her back and was patting her back to calm down. "Welcome back, Juvia..." Lucy whispered.

"Juvia...." Natsu felt guilty and he couldn't forgive himself for harming his fellow friend. "I'm..... Sorry..." He said, looking like he wanted to beat himself up but Juvia smiled as if she was saying, it's alright, I deserve it.

Juvia stood up along with Lucy and she face everyone who were out of their cells. "Everyone, right now, you need to run. Run away far from this place!" She said.

"If Zeref finds you, he will use all of you to revive the dragon Acnologia." She explained. "Acnologia used to be a human and was the human king of the dragons."

"Human?!" Everyone was shocked.

"But because he wanted more power, he stole the dragons' life and make it his own that eventually, he became a dragon himself."

"But, an unknown celestial wizard stopped Acnologia's actions of killing the innocence and it died but in return, that wizard died as well..." Juvia finished.

"Celestial wizard....." Lucy felt astounded.

"But now, Zeref is trying to revive it to destroy the world to fix human society and change its ways." Juvia looked down, "he thinks its the only way to stop humans from feeling pain and start anew..."

"Juvia," Erza stepped in, "we are Fairy Tail, we cannot afford to run away when we know something bad is in here." She said.

"Juvia knows that." She looked up and you can see in her eyes that she knows what she's doing. "But we cannot fight here, this castle absorbs any magic that's active. If you use it here, you're feeding the corpse of Acnologia with magic." She explained.

But suddenly, everything went dark, Juvia was all alone. And heard quiet footsteps that are gradually getting closer. Juvia felt afraid and trembled in fear but she stood tall and strong.

Zeref appeared out of no where and gave Juvia a wicked smile. "You think I knew nothing? Don't take me for a fool!" Zeref shouted.

"Juvia never did!" She said.

"You've underestimate me, no one can defeat me."

"True but with our hearts as one and attack altogether, you might just be underestimating us instead." Juvia said full of courage.

Suddenly, a small light appeared and said, "don't look down upon the family I created, Zeref" Mavis appeared beside Juvia.

"Mavis." Zeref glared. "You're just an illusion. You died years ago!" He laughed.

"Maybe I am just an illusion but I can still do something." She smirked.

Mavis spread out her arms and her palms facing up. Particles of light appearing on her palms and she spread it around removing the darkness that surrounded them. Now, Juvia has found herself in the main hall room along with the whole members of Fairy Tail.

Juvia looked around to see that Zeref wasn't back. Suddenly ice bullets were shooting at her, Juvia immediately dodged it. "Gray!" A few shouts from the members.

"Will ya stop callin' me that stupid shitty name?!?!?!" He snapped. "My name is Eis god dammit! Do i have to spell it for ya?!" He shouted.

Eis once again began to attack but he only aimed for Juvia. "Because of you, master's plan will go to waste!" He said angrily.

"Our goal was to eradicate all the things that gives us pain! Didn't ya also want that?!" Eis asked Juvia.

"I did," Juvia said as she stopped dodging. Eis also stopped attacking. "But a great woman told me that, 'To run away from pain is running away from reality. Acceptance is the key and deny denial.'"

"Juvia only wanted her love to be at least acknowledge by Gray-sama. He didn't have to love Juvia." She smiled. "All Juvia wanted was her love to be known than to be rejected..." Her smiled fallen.

"I ran away and because I did, my family, our family is being hurt!" She cried. "And I didn't want that but I also did want to feel pain of rejection but..." She looked up to Eis who flinched at her strong gaze.

"Juvia has now learned that pain is normal." She slowly walked towards Eis.. "It might be hurtful but we learn from it, the pain we get is what makes us stronger as well. Without the pain we feel we wouldn't be who we are today!" She grinned.

Eis couldn't think of what to stay. Juvia was now right in front of him but he couldn't move. From Juvia's neck, she brought out the ice drop necklace and she wrapped it around Eis's neck. "Even with all this hectic trouble we are in, Juvia will never forget." She smiled.

"Happy birthday, Gray-sama!" She smiled. The necklace began to glow and soon, Eis was covered by the crystal blue light.
