MEANT TO BE | GRUVIA

30

Juvia woke up, feeling cold yet warm. Only one person is cold, yet makes you feel warm. And that person had their head against her chest, hugging her waist. She smiled and hugged his head, burying her face and hands in his hair. She mumbled something and went back to sleep.

A minute later, she felt dripping wet against her skin. She jerked back and blushed. Gray sat up and whipped his nose. In his defense, he woke up to his face pressed against her breasts. Of course he would get a nose bleed. She grabbed a tissue from her nightstand and wiped the blood from her cleavage. She found it odd that she was only wearing her underwear.

Then she remembered. After Gray's family and David found them in a very awkward position, they somehow had a pillow fight. Not wearing any clothes, Juvia made herself comfortable on her bed. At one point, Gray was knocked onto the bed. He fell asleep instantly. His family said it was fine, then left. Instead of putting clothes on, she just went to sleep.

"Can you, uh, put some clothes on?" Gray asked, awkwardly looking away. He was pretty sure if he looked at her again, his nose would bleed. He wasn't really looking the night before, so he didn't even notice that her underwear was matching, lacy, and red. He quickly shook the image from his head.

"I think we should stay like this," Juvia said, leaning over to hug Gray's waist. She considered it payback for the towel incident.

"I really think you should put something on," Gray said. He would only have to move his fingers a few inches, and he could unclasp her bra. He felt his whole body heat up at the thought. "You need to get off me, like, now," he said quickly, yet sternly.

"But I'm comfy!" she said in a teasing voice. She thought she was being funny, but she didn't realize what she was doing to him. He was about ten seconds from forgetting all his morals.

"Damn it, Juvia," he hissed.

"What?" she asked innocently. She gently kissed his jaw. She was having so much fun messing with him.

She was surprised when he just pushed her off of him and left the room. She huffed and laid back onto the bed.

"Morning," Juvia said with a yawn, entering first period. She threw her backpack beside her seat and slumped in her stool. She yawned again.

"Someone's tired," Lisanna laughed. She was pretty tired herself, since it was a Monday, but she stopped yawning a while ago.

"Yeah, I am," Juvia said. She sat up and yawned, stretching her arms. She sighed in content and rested her head on Gray's shoulder. He imedietally stiffened, not daring to look at her. "Relax your shoulder," she said, wiggling her head.

"What's up with you?" Natsu asked. Gray never acted so nervous around Juvia before. Something must have happened, but she was still okay with him, so he didn't know what.

"Uh, nothing," Gray quickly said. He looked over and saw Ciel and his friends enter the room. "Juvia, why don't you see what Ciel is up to?" He hated pushing her to him, but he needed an excuse to get her away. She yawned and walked over to him.

"Okay, something really is wrong," Lisanna said. "You just sent Juvia over to Ciel."

"I-It's nothing," Gray stuttered. He blushed, thinking about the weekend.

"See! You even blushed!" Lisanna said, pointing to his face.

He let out a sigh. "Fine, I'll tell you." Lisanna and Natsu leaned in, wanting to hear every word. "So I went to go see Juvia, and she was sleeping. I woke her up, not really thinking. One event led to another, and I found and she was only in her underwear, since she was sleeping, so that image is burned into my brain. But then she started taking things further, which was interrupted by my family. But on Sunday, it got real awkward."
