Gruvia One-Shots/Imagines

3. Thesis

Authors note:

I would like to dedicate this chapter to @_Pepper_Sprinkles_  because not only was she the first person to leave a comment in my books, but she was also the first person to add my books to her reading list. And for a person like me, who deals with a lot of insecurities, that gives me a big boost of confidence and it makes me really really happy. So this chapter goes out to you :)

It was a bright summer morning and to anyone this was a good day to go out and have fun in the green fields.  But for Juvia, that just wasn't the case. The bluenettes hand ached, yet she continued to scribble across the sheets. "Juvia must finish this thesis. Juvia must finish this thesis." She chanted these words over and over again, like a mantra. Her eyes remained trained on the symbols and numbers and alphabets and sentences. Not once did it waiver from behind those black rimmed spectacles.

Suddenly she halted. Her hand quickly dropped the pen and in a fraction of a second, both her hands reached up to cover her mouth and nose.

"AACHOO!"

A sneeze escaped her lips and her nose. Her tiny, elegant fingers swooped down on the table and brought another tissue to her nose. She swiped the leaking mucus from her nose and threw the tissue somewhere behind her, among the sea of white tissues that adorned her wooden floor.

Due to the force of her sneeze, some of her papers scattered across the table. Quickly regrouping the sheets, she went back to her thesis, not caring about her droopy eyes, sore back, sore muscles and fatigued mind.

She heard a click of the door opening but she didn't bother to get up and see who it was. She knew who it was. "Juvia must finish this thesis. Juvia must finish this thesis." She muttered as her body rocked back and forth lightly.

The feet in her hall kept shuffling around. Certain times the sound grew louder, at times it became soft, and at moments it stopped. Suddenly the door to her bedroom opened. Footsteps came to a halt as it opened.

"Juvia" she heard a voice.

"Juvia must finish this thesis." She mumbled.

"Juvia" the voice called her out once again.

"Juvia must finish this thesis." She mumbled once again.

"Juvia." This time the voice was stern, demanding and even soft at the same time, if that was possible.

"What do you want?" She grumbled, obviously growing annoyed the person.

"Juvia look at me" called out the voice softly. She knew she had no chance in winning a fight with him. Sighing, she turned around and faced him. The man looked at her with a disappointed look on his face. His jaw was tense and his grey eyes looked at her with concern.

"I told you to lie down, didn't I?" His voice remained steadfast and calm.

"But Gray, Juvia has to finish this thesis!"

"I don't care about your goddamn thesis. For all I know, it can go into the trash can. Now get up from there and lie down on the bed." His eyes glared at her. Juvia's eyes began to water. He knew how passionate she was about her thesis and her works. He knew that. How could he say something like that to her?

He sighed again. He walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her. He rubbed her back soothingly as she rested her head on his torso, a few tears slipping down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean what I said. I'm just worried about you. You're overworking yourself once again and you're clearly sick. I don't want you to land up in the hospital once again." He murmured the last part softly. She looked up to see her boyfriend of three years. His raven hair fell on his face, covering his forehead and his eyes partially. His lips were frowning as he swayed ever so slightly in his spot.

She smiled at her boyfriend's face. She stood up from her seat and turned off the desk lamp. She arranged the sheets of her thesis neatly and placed it in a box file. She removed her glasses and placed both the glasses and the pen on the box file.

"Juvia is tired and cold." She whispered in his ears. He chuckled and scooped her up. Walking among the pile of tissues, he gently placed her on the bed. In one swift motion, he stripped himself till he was in his boxers. He gently removed her shirt, or should I say, his shirt until she was in her camisole and her mini shorts.

Lifting the covers up, he covered the two of them. Wrapping an arm around her, he pulled her close to him, until they were sharing their body heat. As her conscious began to slip away, she felt Grays lips near her ear.

"Go to sleep Dr.Lockser" he whispered and kissed a spot behind her ear. Juvia just smiled and snuggled closer into the body of her lover, finally feeling warm and happy.
