Ungrateful (a gruvia fanfic)

Looking glass

It had been exactly one month since that fateful day.

*flashback*

"Crap! This guy is really powerful!" Gray shouted out to his friend juvia.

"Looks like we're going to have to use...'that'" she grabbed a hold of his hand and got into fighting stance.

"Unison rai-" suddenly the powerful enemy Mage gripped onto juvia's arm and fled through a black portal. That was the last time he saw her.

*flashback over*

Gray did everything he could to try and find his missing teammate, even searching an entire Forrest.

"Why don't you go on a job?" Lucy had suggested.

"No way, I'm going searching again today." He set down his third shot glass and hopped off the bar.

Walking in the snowy Forrest really seemed to calm and clear his mind.

'Plus her blue hair would be quite easy to spot.' He thought and chuckled to himself, those chuckles turned to wet sobs when he thought of her. 'Her blue hair, it was always soft and smelled good. I wish I could've protected her.' His tears fell in pace with the snow. He hadn't even realize how much he missed her until he saw a butterfly three weeks ago and started crying, he had been crying a lot as of late. every little thing reminds him of her, he can't even eat carmarade franks anymore.

He continued walking, pulling up the scarf she have him up to his nose, it smelt like cherry blossoms and her. He kept searching for what felt like about an hour until he finally decided to sit down and rest.

Lately he's been exaughsted because every night it's the same dream, the same nightmare.

She's within arms reach, all bloody and broken, fighting to stay alive. He reaches out to her but she cowers away in fear and cries out "stop! please! don't hurt juvia!" she sobs and corners herself. I don't know why she's so afraid.

"Shh no it's okay, I'm here with you, remember?" I tried to set a hand on her shoulder but it's immediately singed by boiling water.

"Leave juvia alone!" a portal appears and she's taken away from me again.

That same thing, every night.

"Juviaaaaaaa!!!" he called out into the night hoping for a response, the only sound was his own quiet sobs and the howling wind.
