13. Make you feel my love

Juvia just came back to their (Gray) room from the guild where she passed on the paper works to Mira. She was so tired that day. She didn’t have classes but she’s been all night finishing paper works from the company she works and with her case studies and research. She looked at the time and its 5:30 in the afternoon. Gray is still on his class until 7pm. Juvia sighed to the fact that she will not see her Gray-sama until 7pm. But she didn’t feel sad because she knows her Gray-sama loves her and would come back to her. Then, she smiled as she reminisced the moments they have in their room, how they met in the university, their small talks and the laughs they had. And she knows her Gray-sama would come back soon. So to pass time, she decided to cook something. Well, that wasn’t new to her since she always cooks for Gray. It’s not that Gray doesn’t help in cooking and doing chores, actually Juvia always insist to cook. She wants to cook for her Gray-sama, she wants to do chores for her Gray-sama like a lovable and wonderful housewife.

She went to the kitchen and prepared the entire ingredient she needed for her dish. She chopped vegetables and meats. Then, she cooked it. She looked at the clock and its already 6:30pm, 30 minutes more and her Gray-sama will come home.

“Juvia is excited to see her Gray-sama.” She said as she placed the meats in the oven. She pictured of Gray happily eating the meal she had cook for him. She set the timer for 30 minutes. “That will do. Just in time when Gray-sama comes home” she giggled.

While waiting for Gray and the meal to cook, Juvia went over to the piano in the living room. She decided to play some songs while waiting for the dinner to be cooked and for Gray to come home. She composes herself and thinks of a song that she would play. Then, she starts with a soft melody. She started to remember the keys of the soundtrack that she had watched. It was a Korean song so she couldn’t sing the lyrics. She just hums as she plays the piano.

6:45pm

Gray walked home with a tired look on his face. He had been in class since 7am up to 7pm. His entire subjects were draining his head. He had complains here and there about this engineering thing but he would have it any other way. And fortunately, no gross sex stories from Loke today because they had too much to do that day. Gray is thankful for that.

As he reached the room, he heard a familiar tune. He smiled as he heard that. He knew it was Juvia. She was playing it again, he thought. And that made Gray relaxed and he felt energized hearing the keys of Juvia’s piano. He really loves this woman. He made her feel relaxed and worry-free. Then, he entered the room. He found Juvia still playing the song even though he had entered their home. But he didn’t mind. He actually likes the view of his girlfriend playing the piano.

“Gray-sama.” She said as she felt Gray’s embraced from behind.

“Keep playing.” He said to her ear that made Juvia shivered. But Juvia keep playing the piano. She knows that Gray loves hearing her play the piano.

“That’s the soundtrack from a Korean drama we watched last month, right?” He asked as he sat beside Juvia.

“Yes, Gray-sama, Love rain.” She smiled and finished the final key. “Juvia made dinner for Gray-sama but it still in the oven. It seems Gray-sama is early.”

“Yeah, I finished the activity so I can go home to you.” Gray tightly hugged Juvia again. “So how was your day?”

“Today, Juvia finished her paper works and does all the research and case study and I passed the paper works to Mira.” Gray nodded as he remembered that Juvia stayed all night to finish all her work.

“Are you tired?” He asked.

“Yes, but since Gray-sama hugged Juvia she regained all her energy back” Then she kissed Gray on the lips.

“So am .I” Gray said. “Will you play the piano again, Juvia?”

“Of course, Gray-sama.” Then she closed her eyes and thought of a song that is perfect for the mood their sharing now. Then, she starts to play and sing the lyrics.

When the rain

Is blowing in your face

And the whole world

Is on your case

I could offer you

A warm embrace

To make you feel my love

Gray was surprised to hear Juvia sing. It’s not the first time he heard Juvia sing but it made him blushed. And then he smiled at the sight of his girlfriend.

When the evening shadows

And the stars appear

And there is no - one there

To dry your tears

I could hold you

For a million years

To make you feel my love

Then, he remembered all the things and moments they have shared together. At first, he was dense of Juvia’s affection and attention she was receiving but he knew inside he liked it. He likes how Juvia calls him Gray-sama, how she takes care of him, how she worries about him when he was sick, how thoughtful she was even though they were friends first.

I know you

Haven't made

Your mind up yet

But I would never

Do you wrong

I've known it

From the moment

That we met

No doubt in my mind

Where you belong

At first, he denied to himself that he wasn’t falling for Juvia. He thought it was just a simple crush back then. That it would fade away soon. But he was wrong. He was falling for Juvia. Then, other things happen.

I'd go hungry

I'd go black and blue and

I'd go crawling

Down the avenue

You Know there's nothing

That I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

When he came back after a year leaving Juvia, he felt the feeling of guilt again. He remembered how Juvia is suffering, how he had hurt Juvia. But now that he had Juvia now, he thought that he will never let go of Juvia.

The storms are raging

On the rolling sea

And on the highway of regret

The winds of change

Are blowing wild and free

You ain't seen nothing

Like me yet

The moments they had, the moments they have shared, how he feels comfortable whenever he was with her. And hell, he even thinks now that life without her would be a total mess.

I could make you happy

Make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends

Of the Earth for you

To make you feel my love, To make you feel my love

He smiled as she finished the song and she smiled as well. Life is easy when they have each other. The world gets better when they were together. They were staring at each other lovingly. No words should be said, just the moment of each other.

Then Gray leaned to Juvia and kissed her deeply and passionately. Juvia kissed back as well and they were kissing until they heard a sound that made them stop.

“Oh, our dinner is cooked.” Gray groaned and Juvia got up from the chair and went back to the kitchen.

“I’ll help you, Juvia.” Gray followed Juvia to the kitchen. Then, they prepare for dinner.

Night time~ the two of them were preparing to go to sleep.

Gray had cleaned up his stuff and prepared his things for the next morning. Juvia is also doing the same. They both have classes and work tomorrow so they have to sleep early. As Gray finished cleaning and preparing his stuffs, he went to Juvia’s room. He entered and embraced Juvia.

“I love you, Juvia.”

“I love you too, Gray-sama.” Gray smiled as she said that. ‘I love you’. Although he heard it every day and a lot of times, he still feels weird and happy at the same time. (Correction, weird in a good way)

“Sleep well, my princess.” He kissed Juvia’s forehead and she blushed. And as he was about to go to his room, Juvia held Gray’s wrist. Gray stopped for a moment then he faced Juvia.

“Do you want me to sleep with you? Just sleep.” Gray asked as if getting Juvia’s message. She shyly nodded. “Well, then let’s go to sleep.” He jumps on Juvia’s bed making her laugh.

Gray woke up in the middle of the night. He smiled as he saw Juvia in his arms. It was nice to felt Juvia’s warmth. It made him feel needy but he had to stop his urges. He didn’t want to push too far. So hugs and kisses will do for them both. He saw Juvia’s sleeping form. She is beautiful, he thought. Then, he thought, ‘I’ll never let go of this woman. I love her so much. I would tell her I love her every day. I’ll marry her someday. I’ll make love to her someday. We will have kids someday. And I will make her feel my love. It silly but I see my future with her. With Juvia. I never thought I could be attached to Juvia like this but this is the greatest thing that happened to my life.’

“I love you, Juvia.” He said then he kissed Juvia’s forehead before going back to sleep.
