Frozen Over

Chapter 17

Of course, Gray knew exactly where to go?

Where else do they hold such huge parties that you can't even hear yourself think?

Jellal's house. 

Gray pulled up to the large house which was completely packed and had cars lining its streets. Erza looked around, rolling her eyes. The two climbed out of the car and began walking toward the house.

"God, he's such a dumbass," Erza whispered under her breath. She marched up to the door and opened it, and the two were greeted with a wall of sound. Music and screaming filled their ears while the sound of a bottle breaking butted in. 

Gray lead the way as they entered the party. The heat was already horrible, and Gray could feel himself already sweating. He couldn't even imagine how Erza, a pregnant girl, was feeling. His eyes shifted from in front of him to Erza, who looked as determined as he did. 

"I'm fine, Gray," she told him, slightly shifting her eyes to look at him. "I just want to find Juvia and leave."

"That makes two of us," Gray agreed and continued his way through the party. They began in the living room, searching for the bouncy blue hair. 

It brought back a single memory to Gray, and just the thought made him smirk. 

"Hey, I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going."

He remembered seeing Juvia for the first time. He remembered the way her blue hair complimented her shining blue eyes. He didn't want to let her go. He still doesn't want to let her go. 

"I'm Gray."

"I'm Juvia."

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean-."

Her laugh. God, her laugh was like angels singing. It made his cheeks go pink just thinking about her laugh.

"I already told you, there's no need to apologize. I'm fine, I just hope you are."

"I'm fine!"

"You look like an idiot when you do that."

The two continued to search the house, not finding anyone they knew. Until they entered the kitchen. 

"Chug! Chug! Chug!"

The chants filled the room while Gray's eyes went to the girl, upside-down, drinking from a keg. Her body was held up by a male on each side, Jellal and another guy Gray didn't recognize. The men began setting her down, causing her to hold her hands up in triumph. 

Gray cleared his throat, causing the cheers to slowly die down and everyone turn toward him.

"Oh my gosh, it is my boyfriend!" Juvia squealed, drunkly running toward Gray and falling into him. "Jellal, Erza is here too!"

Juvia looked up to Gray, smiling at him while her eyes were glazed over. Seeing her this way only angered Gray more, causing him to want to scream. She wouldn't remember any of this tomorrow, and that made Gray's mind ease a bit. 

Jellal looked at Erza, an obvious druken smirk on his face. 

"Oh, Erza! How is that little baby doing?" Jellal said, giggling at himself. He walked forward, setting a hand on Erza's stomach, making her flinch away from his touch.

"You smell disgusting," Erza said, giving him a gentle push at the shoulders. 

Gray walked between the two, grabbing Jellal's front of his shirt.

"I swear to God, you bring Juvia here again, and I will hurt you," Gray said, obviously scaring the drunk. "You're lucky I don't beat the shit out of you right now for hurting Erza."

Juvia rushed over, grabbing Gray's bicep and yelling, "Let him go! You aren't my dad, Gray, I can do whatever I want."

Gray rolled his eyes, throwing Jellal on the ground and throwing Juvia over his shoulder. 

"You could use one," he whispered, leading the way out of the house with Erza right behind him.
