Grays P.O.VI wake up with a smile on my face. Yesterday was very interesting. I've been working as a castle guard for six months.
Juvia and I know each other pretty well. I remember when I told her about my parents; and my mentor Ur.
It was the day after she was my nurse. Juvia felt embarrassed about crying in front of me.
I kept trying to tell her it was no big deal. Juvia looked so distressed that I told her something about me as well. I remember it well.
----------------Flashback---------------
"Juvia when I was small our family was attacked by humans. They came on ships; and whenever they saw sharks they killed them. Including my parents who were just trying to save me." As I said this my voice got choked up with emotion.
I had to pause to collect myself. When I looked up she was crying. T
ears were streaming down her face. Her eyes all puffy; and red.She wrapped her arms around me. She said "That's horrible Gray sama." I looked at her when I heard the sama added. "Princess you like it when people address you as Juvia no special title right?" She nods her head in answer. " I'm the same way. You don't need to add a title to my name just call me Gray." I say hoping I don't come of as rude.
She smiles and says "But Gray you helped me a lot yesterday; and your always protecting me."
Juvia has a blush on her cheeks and she is looking down. I grab her chin and lift it up so she is looking at me. Then gently I use my thumb to get rid of her tears.
"Hey there is no need to cry Juvia. I have other people in my life who I love. Lyon who is like a brother to me, I have ultear who is like a sister to me, and I have you Juvia." Now I'm the one who is blushing; and looking in the opposite direction.
She smiles and says "Your important to me as well Gray." I smile after hearing that.
----Flashback over------
I quickly get ready so I can guard my princess. My princess.., it seems pretty true. Juvia rules my heart.
Juvias P.O.V
I know Gray and I have gotten a lot closer since he has been here. He means a lot to me; but I want to join the humans. It's been my wish for so long. I like Gray; but I've had this dream for such a long time. I don't think i can just leave it.
Then I remember the dream with Gray. Where we were both humans; but he hates them I mean they did get rid of his parents. It's just there is a lot we don't know about them. I want to know these things.
Every time I think of Gray my heart pounds; and I get shaky. I know that I like him; but I can't love him.
My mother always told me to never let a man hold you back so that's what I'm doing.
I'll just go on this date. Get it done and over with. Whenever he decides to have the date.
I don't know how to handle this. I wish you were here mom. Then I could talk to you.
After that I get ready for my day; and when I open my door behold its Gray. That's not very surprising.
I kind of expected it. I smile when I see him. My heart is pounding; and my hands are sweaty. Oh no this is bad.
"Good morning Gray." I say to him while trying to get my feelings under control.
He smiles and says "Good Morning my... Eh I mean Juvia." He suddenly blushes deeply.
I wonder what he was going to say. I smile and say "Shall we get breakfast first?"
Gray says "Surs thing."
So we swim to get there as the staff are setting the food. My father is already there.
We all sit down and eat. Today's breakfast is delicious. Father suddenly says "So Gray I heard you beat my daughter in a race."
Gray smiles and says "Yes your highness I did."
My father smiles and says "I knew I made the right choice picking you."
Then Gray says "Thank you sir, also may I ask you something your highness?"
My father raises his eyebrows and says "Sure what is your question?"
Gray looks at me then says "Well yesterday as you know i did win the race; and we made a bet before the race. Well I asked for a date with your daughter. I was just wondering sir if that's okay. Do we have your blessing?"
My face goes hot at what he just said. I am going to kill him.
My father smiles and says "Yes and I'm glad you asked my permission not a lot of young men do anymore."
My mouth falls open at what I'm hearing. Then gray grabs my Chin closes it and says "You don't want to lose your food." Then he picked up his silver ware and he continues to eat his food.
