Chapter 14

Juvia's POV

This all feels surreal... never in my life did I imagine myself dating Gray. 

Yet, here I am so happy... much more happy than I ever was with Natsu. 

This relationship will be different... we'll be different... I'll be different... 

I love Gray so much, he consumes every part of my soul. I hope he feels that way too... I never want to be with someone who isn't Gray.

Shortly after hanging out with Lucy, I received good news from her. Leo and her are finally an item!! I waited so long for this! 

Even though Lucy and I fought over some boys, I'm so happy we're best friends again... there was a hole in my heart where Lucy is. I can't imagine this experience without her. 

Juvia: GRAYYYYYY!!!! LUCY AND LEO ARE DATINGGGGGGG 

Gray: *chuckling* Haha really now? 

Juvia: Yes! OMG! I knew it I knew it I knew it! 

Gray smoothly pulls me by the waist... 

Gray: You seem more excited about them than your relationship. 

Juvia: *blushing* T-That's not true Gray-sama...

He gently caressed the side of my face and placed a kiss on my lips. He tasted so sweet yet so erotic. His kisses always ignited me, it started this heat within me. 

Juvia: G-Gray are you trying to seduce me?

Gray: Are you trying to be seduced? 

I desperately wanted his body on mine, but we just started dating... I didn't want the lust to take over our entire relationship. If Gray and I are going to have sex then I want it to be slowly and pure... I want my first time to be special. 

Juvia: *laughing* N-No I want our first time together to be romantic like the books I read... 

Gray: And it shall be like those novels you read my sweet bird 

Juvia: Let's go on a date tonight, my love 

Gray: Of course, my sweets I will be at your house at 8p.m sharp to pick you up. 

I waved Gray goodbye and ran to my house... I have no idea what I'm going to wear and I need backup. 

If this is what the rest of my life is going to be like then I'm all in. Gray and I will be in love forever.

Gray's POV 

My heart can't stop beating so fast. I knew I would end up with Juvia, but being with her... holding her... kissing her it's too much. I don't know how to contain all these feelings inside me. 

After Juvia and Lucy met up and talked about girl stuff I decided to meet up with Natsu. He kept bugging me, but Juvia said I should hear him out... he was my best friend at one point. 

We decided to meet at our old hang-out spot by Blossom Falls. It was a bit awkward, but that's because he and I ended up on bad terms after everything he did to Juvia. 

Gray: Alright, I'm here... what do you want? 

Natsu: I want to apol-

Gray: You should be apologizing to Juvia, not me. You and I have no business with each other. You disrespected my woman and only wanted her to get under my skin. 

Natsu: No... you're wrong. I did lie to Juvia... when she and I met and talked about our relationship I lied to her. I knew all along that the person she wanted to be with was always you. That day when I saw you guys right outside your house when you pulled her close and she couldn't resist... I knew she loved you more than me. 

Gray: Then why did you put her through all of this? I can deal with that shit, but Juvia... she didn't deserve that. She felt so guilty every time and I couldn't even talk to her without her hating herself because she loved both of us. 

Natsu: Because... I loved her too. I loved Juvia with all my heart and if it wasn't for Lucy and her stupid obsession with you I would have accepted her confession back then. After, Lisanna... Juvia was my shining star... her smile made me want to be better. But, when I knew she could never love me the way I wanted her to... I decided if I can't have her then you couldn't either. 

Gray: Then why did you cheat on her? You don't cheat on the person you love. 

Natsu: Because I was a horny idiot. Juvia would never sleep with me... she didn't even let me kiss her. She was saving herself for you. I got so angry about it. But Gray I did love her... and I asked you to come out here today to apologize for putting my jealousy over our brotherhood. You're my best friend man... I want us to be like that again. 

Hearing Natsu say that did pull one of my heartstrings... I know Juvia would be okay with it, but was it the right decision to make? I did miss hanging out with Natsu and the others. 

Gray: I missed you too man. However, if you lay one hand on my lady or try anything I will kill you fire brain. But I would be more than happy to be your best friend man and stop fucking around with Lisanna if you don't love the girl... you know that shit's going to get you in trouble. 

Natsu: She's my girlfriend again... you know what they say about first loves. 

Gray: *chucking* I do Natsu. 

After I got home I quickly called Juvia to let her know what happened. She was ecstatic to know she didn't ruin our brotherhood and she was very proud of me for being understanding and forgiving. 

It's like everything is finally coming full circle. I hope Juvia and I only have happy times for the rest of our lives.

Juvia's POV 

I was a bit nervous for our date. 

This wasn't like any of my dates with Natsu... this was the first date I desperately wanted to go right. 

When I arrived he was probably more nervous than I was... I could see him playing with his fingers, but he dressed nicely. He had the old money look and I fell for him all over again. 

The night went well. We had a late-night picnic with the stars shining. He brought me handmade flowers that Levy helped him crochet. 

The night was perfect... he did everything right... I can't imagine how long it took him to take this step in our relationship. 

At the end of the night, he walked me to my door and we shared a kiss. It was hot and heavy, he was different than the gentleman I saw earlier, but that was fine. I didn't want to be the only one who desperately wanted to tear his clothes off. 

His hands touched my body in ways I was unfamiliar with, but I wanted him. The temptation was strong, I wanted him... all of him. 

Being with Gray has changed my life. We haven't been dating long, but he's the man of my dreams.
