Frozen Glacier | Gruvia

10. The Chase | part 2

Gray P.O.V

As I switched gears, I glanced at Juvia. Her hair flowed in the wind with such grace, even in the current situation that she was in.

Juvia was so concentrated on the assholes at the back, she was firing, reloading and dodging bullets. The only thing that I could think of at the time was.... I did not teach her that...
How has she gotten so good a-.. And then it made me remember something, which happened a while back.

Gray woke up, when he no longer could feel the presence of his wife in his bed. He glanced at the alarm clock, that sat in it fixed position.

3:58am

"What the...what could she be doing at this is time of the night" He grunted in a low voice. He got out of the bed, only wearing shorts and no top, made his way downstairs.

He didn't see her in the front room, bathroom, kitchen and/or in the other rooms. He ruffled his hair as he took his phone out his pocket, and just as he was about to call her, the front door handle started to rattle.

"What the fuck..." He mumbled. He ran straight to the door and grabbed his gun from one of the drawers near the door. As the door opened, he pointed the gun at it.
"

Who the f-... Juvia?" He lowered his hand with the gun and just looked at her, she had a duffel bag and was dressed in a sports outfit.

"Gray-sama, I- I can explain..." She started to fidget with her thumbs, Gray, however, didn't take his eyes off her.
"Where were you?" He said in a calm yet low voice.

"I ... was training.. with E-Erza-san.." She lowered her head and looked at the bag, "And.. In the bag is your guns and knives"

"There is no need for-" He rubbed the back of his neck as he looked at her.

"Yes there is Gray-sama... I want to be stronger.. I don't want to always be protected by you, I want to be able to protect you too-" She said to him and as she was about to finish off what she was saying, he pushed Juvia back, against the door. His lips was inches away from Juvia's, he looked her dead straight I'm her eye.

"Listen to me. I care about you a lot and if you were to get hurt in anyway.. I'd never forgive myself. You're my beautiful wife..." He caressed her cheek with his rough hands, "And I don't want you mixing yourself with the things I do"

"G-Gray-sama..." She looked at him and he nodded his head a bit, signalling her to carry on.

"I promise I won't mix myself with those type of things! You called me beautiful! Juvia would also like to say that Gray-sama looks attractive without a top" She wailed as she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly, while blushing deeply.

"Tsk..." He placed his hands on her hips and blushed faintly.

Hence that this promise was made before we infiltrated the club to get to Sabertooth.
This girl can keep her promises, but she didn't keep this one .
To be honest, I knew she wouldn't. Once her mind is set onto something, there's no one that is able to deter her from her goal.
This girl, is my girl.

"Gray-sama! They are turning around!" She shouted, as she moved herself back onto her seat.
