Frozen Heart [A Gruvia Fanfiction]

Chapter 11

Hey guys! Hope you love this chapter! Enjoy! BTW idk why I write more as Gray... huh. BTW COMMENT!!

{Gray's POV}

     I stopped and turned around. She was on the brink of tears, and I could tell she was terrified to be alone.

     She held a roll of bandages before she lifted the sheets and scooted over, before patting the empty side of the bed, implying I should sit there. So I did, with my back to her, as she started to wrap the bandages around my waist although I didn't really need them. There was a deafening silence.

     "So... tell me about your childhood?" I asked, breaking the silence.

{Juvia's POV}

     I stopped applying the bandages for a moment when he said that, then I continued. I remembered my childhood... every moment of it in fact.

     "Juvia... was born in an orphanage. She never met her parents. She was born with a curse, the curse of the weeping maiden. Only Gajeel knows about this curse.

     The curse was rumored that until Juvia found true love, she would always have rain around her and would never see the light of day.

     The rain never stopped, never faltered. Everyone hated the rain, so they hated Juvia. They would throw stones at her, telling her to go away. Juvia didn't have anybody. Then as Juvia and the orphans grew into teenagers, they would try to... kill... Juvia. Juvia just used her Water Body of course, because she didn't want to hurt them, and she didn't blame them for wanting to hurt her. All through her childhood, Juvia would make special dolls to try to stop the rain. They... were pretty much her only friends," I explained, still wrapping his bandages.

     He was listening carefully, he didn't interrupt. I continued to tell him the story.

     "Then when Juvia got older, she met Gajeel. Gajeel became Juvia's first friend. He is like Juvia's broher. He introduced her to Phantom Lord, where Juvia eventually became one of the Element 4. She was still very sad. Everyone respected Juvia, but never became her friends. Then..." I continued.

     "Then?" Gray asked.

     "Then, she met you," I finished.

     "When Phantom Lord attacked Fairy Tail?" Gray asked.

     "Yeah," I replied, "that wasn't the best start," I chuckled.

     He laughed.

     "But Gray, the day Juvia met you... when you defeated her, and the rain cleared away... that was the first time Juvia ever saw a clear blue sky," I explained.

     "It... was?" Gray asked.

     "Yeah," I replied dreamily.

     "So... do you still love me?" Gray asked.

     "Well yes... but..." I murmured.

     "...But?..."

     "She is afraid, that the rain will come back..."

{Gray's POV}

     She meant she was afraid I would break her heart, and I couldn't blame her. I was a horrible person, but she brought out a better side of me. One I never knew existed. Then she was finished with the bandages. I spoke.

     "I'll never let that happen," I said to her, turning my head half way to look at her.

     "...Hm?" Juvia asked.

     "I'll never let the rain come back, I promise you that," I told her.

     "Gray... don't go around making promises you can't keep..." she replied.

...What? Was she giving up on me? Was I too late?! The rain hadn't come back yet, so there was still time. I had to get her to see... that I loved her.

     She layed down, facing away from me, and pulled up the cover on her side.

     "Do you need me to stay Juvi--"

     "Just go," she cut me off.

     When she said that, I felt as if someone had stabbed me, and left the knife in my heart. I got up, and walked out. Every step I took away, felt like someone was twisting the knife they put in me. In my heart. I walked up to the couch, and sat down.

{Juvia's POV}

     What had I done? Why was I upsetting myself? But... why was he breaking me? Why did he make me feel so... wrong?

     I lay there in my bed, thinking these thoughts. They were driving me insane.

     Did I love him? Did I not? Should I have let go of him? Should I have kept him close forever?

     It was like two opposites were arguing in my head... I just didn't know which to listen to. I was all alone in this... or was I? Lucy!

     Tomorrow morning, I could ask her for advice! She always knew what to do about this sort of stuff! Then I felt a wave of nausea hit me.

     I was exhausted. I had to go to sleep. But no... what if I had that nightmare again? I couldn't go to sleep. What was I going to do? I would fall asleep eventually even if it was terrified.

     I decided for now to fix the door. I used my ambrosia magic. Ambrosia Magic really could fix anything, like broken doors, scars, cuts, torn outfits! Anything, but a broken heart... that is.

     I felt my gut twist into knots as I felt even worse now. I watched the golden glow slowly fix the door. It was done within five minutes. The more I practiced the magic, the quicker it would fix or heal things. Maybe I should start to practice it more. Hm... then I felt my eyelids starting to close.

     I slapped myself. Ouch! I went to the door and opened it. It was totally dark in the house, and the silence was excruciating.

     I manuvuered my way to the door opposite mine which was the bathroom. I found a candle and some matches after searching the counter a bit. I lit the candle. The bathroom was beautiful! There was a large jacuzzi-shower with lots of jets in the corner of the room, taking up a fifth of the bathroom. I decided to take a bath.

     I first turned on the water to fill up the tub, then looked in the cuboards for bath scents. There was lavender and rosemary. I took both and dumped some of the tiny bottles in the bath, right before the water was just the right height. I took off my attire and stepped in, closing the glass jacuzzi-shower doors behind me.

     The water was cold, just how I liked it, but the cool feeling reminded me of Gray too much. I changed the temperature of the water with my magic to hot water. I then sank in relaxing in the warm water. Hmm...

     That's when I heard footsteps in the bathroom, and saw a shadow of a figure through the steamy glass.. Who was in here?! I blushed.

     "Who's there?! Get out!" I said.

     The footsteps stopped.

     Who was it?! I peeked out of the crack in the steamed shower door. It was the man. The man from my nightmare.
