Loving The Idiots - Fairy Tail [Nalu, Gruvia, Jerza, Gale, Rowen & More!]

Skiing romance

I'm so sorry! The gruvia moment is so bad, I'm sorry I'm sorry - I'm a sucker at romance, basically.

Juvia

Gray-sama sat across from me on a table, waiting for Mirajane to come. He seemed to be averting his gaze from me whenever I'd stare lovingly at him. When the light steps of Mira's feet came down, he gave a sigh of relief. Although he'd always reject me, he'd never gone as far as to ignore me. I couldn't hide the lump in my throat and my falling face.

"Gray..." Mira said in a menacing voice. Both Gray-sama and I edged backwards on our seats. "You and Gajeel are the only ones who haven't confessed yet!" Her eyes narrowed, a glint visible in her eyes. She paused for a bit, resting her chin on her two hands. "So today, I've planned something for both of you. A skiing trip."

I looked from Mira to Gray-sama and back. A whole day just with Gray-sama?! My smile brightened effortlessly as I grabbed Gray-sama's arm. "That's a wonderful idea, Mira!" I replied quickly, not giving a chance for Gray-Sama to say no. Maybe if we spent a whole day together, he would be in a better mood! Ever since news about Natsu and Lucy getting together spread like a wildfire, he'd been in a grouchy mood.

"Right, then. Here's your plan. 10:30am, you're going skiing for an hour. Then, at 12pm you go out and have a meal." She grinned, flashing her teeth. "Then... GO MAKE 30 GRUVIA BABIES!"

Gray looked taken aback. "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!"

I flushed, cupping my cheeks with my hands. My eyes fluttered closed as my imaginations flew into my mind. A dream with mist in its corners, the only thing that was able to help me tell the difference between reality and my dream world.

Gray-sama came down with our child in his arms, and when he turned to look at me I couldn't help but fall deeply in love with him even more. He gracefully put the child down, his muscles flexing in the process. His bare skin - he'd just taken off his clothes - gleamed and sparkled with flecks of light that penetrated through gaps in the window.

As he walked towards me, butterflies in my stomach intensified. He slowly stroked my soft skin, running his fingers through my hair. "G-Gray-Sama," I whispered, not breaking his gaze.

He smiled back at me. "You're so beautiful, Juvia."

"Ah, Gray-Sama!" I said loudly, not realising I said it out loud. There was a blush that clouded my cheeks when Gray-Sama and Mira both watched me. Mira then started to laugh loudly, whereas Gray-sama looked away awkwardly.

"I'll leave you both to it. Alright, have fun!" Mira's hair flew behind her as she reached the door. Gray-sama and I still didn't say a word to each other.

Attempting to break the silence, I managed to cough out, "Shall we go, Gray-sama?" He flicked his eyes to look at me as I held his hand, a blush coating his cheeks. Gently, I pulled him out of his chair, and out of the dorm. It was the first time I held hands with a guy...

His hands were so warm, and so full of life. I felt his hands tighten around me when we were both upright, and already walking to the skiing center. It was unusual for there to be an ice skating rink and a skiing center near a beach resort! But somehow they made that happen.

Since I was leading him, I had to look over my shoulder to communicate. Some strands of hair glided through the air as I turned around. "Gray-Sama, I'll get your ski boots!"

"But you don't know my size!" He replied, astounded.

I laughed, "Of course I do, Gray-sama. It's a size 8!"

Gray-sama's blush was contagious. I'd come to the conclusion when he'd blush, and for some reason I'd have the same reaction written on my face.  He sat down on one of the benches, waiting for my arrival as I asked one of the helpers there for ski boots and skis.

After waiting for a few moments, I struggled to carry all four things, and nearly tripped over my own feet. The skis had caught my heel, causing me to fall forwards onto my face. But I was quickly put back to a standing position when an arm wrapped around my waist.

"Lyon?" I blinked a few times to get his image right.

Someone arrived behind me. "Lyon, we meet again," Gray-sama said through gritted teeth.

"As for you."

"We have to excuse you since I'm on a date right now," Gray-Sama seethed. I blushed wildly again, his voice echoing in my mind.

Lyon smiled in disbelief. "A date? A date with lovely Juvia?" His eyes found mine, putting me to the test.

"Yes," I said, "a date with Gray-sama!"

A pink haired girl rushed towards us, panting. "Quick, Lyon! We need to—". She abruptly stopped when she caught me in her vision. I edged towards Gray-sama, feeling as if he needed to be protected. Surprisingly, Chelia gave a small smile. "Have fun on your date! Mira told me everything!"

She pulled on Lyon's sleeve, skipping away. I guess she can be nice, after all. My breath was caught in my throats when I felt skis and a pair of ski boots get removed from my clutches. Gray-Sama was slowly peeling away his share of things. "I'm so stupid. Sorry Juvia. I should've helped you carry things."

I gulped; even though the frantic thump of my heart was all so familiar, I've always felt as if it were foreign. "Anything for Gray-sama!" I blurted out.

He chuckled, sitting back on the bench and putting on his boots. I tried to look graceful as I jerked mine on.

"Let's go!" He said, walking straight into the ice. My lips parted when he walked in topless - though that was no surprise since he was an ice Mage. Quickly tugging on my baggy coats, I was finally ready to go skiing!

"I'm gonna go on that hump," Gray-sama announced, pointing to the hardest one.

"Gray-sama! You're amazing!" I replied, watching him go up the ski elevator to the top. I watched in awe as he sped down, gaining speed, before rushing right up the hump. "Be careful, Gray-sama!" I could only say when he flipped over elegantly... But was heading right towards me.

I tried to get out of the way as quickly as possible - unfortunately my skis crossed over themselves, making me trapped. A dark body loomed over me, getting closer and closer. But the feeling of the softness on my lips stopped all the pain below me. I sank right into his touch as our lips met.

This is what Juvia has been dreaming about! I thought in glee, my breath running low when the kiss took longer than expected. A string of saliva connected us as Gray-Sama pulled away. His features looked even better when looked at closely!

"I've been wanting to do that for a long time, Juvia..." His voice was soothing as he helped me sit up. "The truth is," he said whilst biting his lip. "I've always liked you. I'm so sorry for ignoring you... after going ice skating with you I realised that I did in fact...love you."

He took in a deep breath, and I couldn't help but hold my own as he said, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

I'd always tried to get his attention... but I'd never thought about what would happen next. My breaths came out short, my nerves inside of me shaking.

But the word was absolute as I shouted, "Yes, Gray-sama! I love you!"
