A Gruvia Enthusiast

welcome to the hub of all that is Gruvia and Jellal. a beginner artist. 🫶

Juvia Ice Queen~ ❄️

I love her new forms in the latest chapters in the manga so much! I wanna see more of it especially more gruvia moments please hehe. 🤭🫶

So couldn't help but draw her with the ice crown. She's just too pretty! 😭💙 I wanna draw her in that mermaid form next time~

Here's a timelapse of my art ✨

I think the biggest issue with spy x family is that is that people read it as if it’s a slice of life romance instead of a slice of life action-comedy. I don’t think I’d be so annoyed if people don’t constantly treat anything unrelated to twiyor as ‘filler.’ People hate on eden kids stuff despite twiyor moments also being ‘plot filler.’ Developing Anya’s interpersonal life and treating her not as just a cute mascot but a character is actually the same as furthering Yor and Twilight’s emotional development.

[0o-alelies-o0]

I want Loid's first big self-revelation to be how much he loves his little girl. I want him to cry for her. Up until now, there's been a lack of genuine angst between them when Anya is in danger.

“Fiore’s most ELIGIBLE BACHELOR?!” Juvia cried out in horror, looking at the magazine she held in front of her with terror in her eyes. Gray took up the whole cover of the newest issue of “Sorcerer Weekly”. He was posed with his hands in his pockets, and his white long sleeve shirt was unbuttoned all the way down. He gave a suggestive smirk to the camera, as his eyes pierced through the piece of paper. Surrounded him were hearts and things like “An Icy Hunk”, “A Hero”, and “One of Fairy Tail’s Best”. The header of the magazine read “Fiore’s Most Eligible Bachelor”, a phrase that made Juvia’s skin crawl.

“T-this can’t be! There must be a mistake! Sure, my darling Gray is handsome but he is certainly NOT an eligible bachelor!” Juvia spilled, tears flowing down her face and onto the nightmare that was in her hands. She threw the magazine to the side and then her face down onto the table she sat at, sobbing into the hard surface.

Lucy leaned over and put a hand on Juvia’s shoulder. “It’s just a magazine, Juvia! I bet the only reason he was even given this spot was because of all the stuff that just happened with Alvarez. He’s a big name right now! All of Fairy Tail is!” Lucy did her best to ease Juvia’s nerves.

“Lucy-san is right, Juvia-san! It’s not a big deal!” Wendy was on the other side of her also giving words of reconcile.

“But why does it have to be Gray-sama!?” She wailed, still face down into the table. “Why couldn’t it have been Natsu-san?!”

“Alright, well let’s not say that!” Lucy said, slightly defensive.

Juvia sniffled and lifted herself back up. “How could sorcerer weekly not even mention Juvia?! We have been an item for years now! We’re practically married!”

“Uhh, does Gray know about all those years of you guys being ‘an item’?” Lucy air quoted and scoffed, popping a hole in Juvia’s fantastical bubble, causing Wendy to chuckle. So they weren’t really dating, but still, Juvia knew they were not just friends, and this cover just felt like a slap in the face.

Juvia ignored Lucy trying to bring her back to reality. “This is horrible.” She planted her elbows on the table and burried her face in her hands.

“You’re just overreacting, Juvia-san!” Wendy leaned forward.

“Yeah, seriously.” Lucy agreed. “Nothing is going to change!”

Juvia turned her head to face Lucy and sniffed. “You really think so?”

Lucy smiled. “I know so.”

Soon after, Gray came into the guild, and following him was a pack of girls, doting behind him.

Lucy and Wendy sunk into their seats at Juvia shot death glares at both of them “Nothing will change, huh?” She growled at Lucy.

“They- uh- they’re probably just friends!” Lucy nervously chuckled.

“Graaay! You’re so much hotter in person!” One of the girls called out as they all followed him to the bar.

“Is that so?” Juvia twitched. “Any more words of wisdom you would like to give Juvia?” She scowled back and forth between Wendy and Lucy, and they had nothing else to say.

With her blood boiling, she arose from the table and approached the six leeches that surrounded Gray.

“Hi, Gray-sama!” Juvia put on a fake sweet smile and nudged through the girls, sitting beside him at the bar.

“Hey, Juvia.” He said simply. It was like he didn’t even notice the whole fan club he had behind him. The girls were grumbling and mutttering things under their breath, seeming displeased with Juvia’s presence.

“Can I have a moment with you? Alone, please?” Juvia asked.

“Uh, sure, but make it quick.” Gray turned to the girls. “You guys wait here. I’ll be back in a minute.” He gave them a smile that made Juvia’s heart implode. Why would he smile at them like that?! Was he enjoying their attention?!

Juvia pulled him to the other side of the bar. “Who are all those girls, Gray-sama? And why were you on the cover of Sorcerer Weekly as “Fiore’s Most Eligible Bachelor?” She put her hands in her hips and gave an angry pout.

“Oh, right, about that,” He inhaled and scratched the back of his head. “The editor of the magazine contacted me. They asked if I could do this photo shoot, and then there would be a competition. A bunch of girls entered and then they picked six girls, and those six girls get to spend the day with me. It’s like a publicity thing.” He gave a sigh out of what seemed to be exhaustion. “I wasn’t too keen on the whole idea, but it pays good.” He shrugged.

“Still, you could’ve at least told Juvia about it!”

“Huh? Why?”

“Why?!” Her stomach turned, and her eyes almost popped out of her head. He was being so dense! Even for him! “Because are swarming you and-”

“Oh, would you stop.” He groaned. “You really think I’m interested in any of them?”

“W-well,” She was more calmed and timid.

“Well, I’m not.” Gray finished. “So just leave me alone for today and let me do my job.” He said in annoyance and turned back around to the bar.

Juvia wasn’t exactly sure how to feel. She was slightly put at ease by Gray saying he wasn’t interested, but she still didn’t like it one bit. Not only that, but he had been so cold to her about it. She slumped over and began to make her way back to the table with Lucy and Wendy and minded her own business, as much as it killed her.

Gray made his way back over to the bar and socialize with the group of girls. As much as it drained him, it was part of the job, and he wasn’t about to quit.

“Sorry about that, ladies.” He gave them an apologetic smile.

“It’s alright, Gray!” One of them giggled.

“So,” A girl leaned onto him as he sat back down at the bar. “Is that the rain girl you were just talking to?”

Gray felt a pinch of annoyance at the term “rain girl”.

“Yeah.” He brushed it off. “Her names Juvia.”

“Oh that’s right!” Another one chimed in. “I heard she’s got a huge crush on you. That’s all she talks about in Sorcerer Weekly.”

Gray gave an uncomfortable chuckle. “Uh, yeah. Something like that.”

“I know all about her.” The girl continued. “She’s like obsessed with you!” The girls laughed.

“She can definitely be a handful sometimes.” He snorted.

“Ugh, I can’t even imagine.” One of the girls scooted right next to him, curling one of her arms around his and leaned onto his shoulder.

Gray flinched. “Y-yeah.” He cringed and looked away, trying his best not to let these girls get to his goat.

“Oh my god, she is so weird!” A girl towards the back said. “She’s staring at us!” Gray and the rest of the girls peered around to see Juvia staring at them, and her eyes looked crushed. Once she noticed they saw her looking, she jumped and turned away, making conversation with Lucy and Wendy.

“Ew! What a creep!” The girl on his arm exlcaimed, causing Gray to subconsciously snarl.

“Let’s go tell her to get lost.” The girl in te back decided, and the rest of the girls began to follow, besides the girl curled up against him.

“You all need to chill out.” Gray finally said, causing the girls to stop in her tracks. They were shocked by his sudden agitation. It seemed like it came out of nowhere.

“Huh?” One of the girls said.

“You heard me.” He scowled as his whole body clenched.

“What do you care? She’s just some girl that has a weird thing for you.” She said back with disgust. “Not only that, but the only reason people think she’s something worthwhile is because she’s a member if Fairy Tail. She’s nothing special.” The girl went off on an obviously jealous tangent.

“She’s not just some girl, alright?” His voice rose. “And really, I’m the one doing you a favor, cause’ if you went over there and tried to start something she would kick your ass.”

“I’d like to see her try!” She argued back.

“Then go ahead. Be my guest. None of you are even half the mage or person Juvia is.” He spat out, and he could feel his face turning red with anger.

“Why are you defending her so much like you’re into her? I thought you were Fiore’s most eligible bachelor!” The girl on his arm exclaimed.

“Yeah, not quite.” He shook the girl off his arm and stood up from the bar.

“So that freak is your girlfriend?” She yelled out, sounding hurt.

“It’s none of your damn business what she is to me.” He pierced the girl with a serious glare.

“All of you, scram. And tell Jason he can keep his money. No payment is enough for me to have to listen to this shit.” He exclaimed as he scowled at all of the girls and walked through them, leaving them completely flustered before they scurried out of the guild with distress.

Gray approached the table where Juvia sat with Lucy and Wendy, and she was still noticeably grieving.

“Hey.” Gray called out, making direct eye contact with Juvia. She looked up and was shocked he was even talking to her.

“Hi…” Juvia replied, unsure.

“Let’s go grab something to eat.”

“Eh?” Juvia jumped. “But what about those girls?”

“Screw em’. They were starting to piss me off.” Gray crossed his arms, still annoyed.

Juvia quickly stood up from the table and Lucy and Wendy smiled to each other. “Juvia will talk to you later, Lucy-san and Wendy-san” She nodded and excused herself to be with Gray.

Then it was just the two of them. “What did they say that made Gray-sama so upset?” Juvia asked, curiously.

“Doesn’t matter.” He grumbled.

“It must matter to some extent. You completely blew them off.” She was still confused as to Gray’s sudden change of heart.

“It was just some stupid stuff, alright? Let’s drop it.” Gray blushed with a cute frustrated look on his face, and Juvia wasn’t sure what was said between him and the girls, but for some reason she had a good feeling about it.

“Sure, Gray-sama.” She smiled.

Lucy and Wendy were back at the guild, giggling amongst one another.

“See? I knew everything would be fine.” Lucy proudly folded her arms, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

“No matter what happens between those two, they always end up with each other in the end. It’s sweet.” Wendy smiled.

Lucy turned to the door of the guild where she saw Gray and Juvia walking out. Juvia had leaned herself up against Gray who seemed to protest for a moment, but then just continued walking with Juvia at his side. They fit perfectly with one another, like a puzzle.

She grinned with admiration. “Yeah. It sure is.”

Happy Mother's Day! 🌺

Drew Levy with the kiddos like I do every year, I started using the blending tool lately and experimented with lighting a little here lol

[superslider4000]

ok I guess it’s time for some Gruvia dating head cannons

I’m so happy about the smooch. Gray you finally did it. And now they can live out the rest of their happy lives together forever!

-after the battle with the water dragon god, gray just straight kisses her again with no hesitation. Then asks juvia to be his. Juvia ofc says yes and tackles him to the ground

-after the 100 years quest they make it official that they are dating to the guild, everyone congratulates them and juvia is over the moon

-after about 4 months gray got sick of sneaking into fairy hills. He secretly saved up enough money for a small cottage on the outskirts of magnolia and surprised juvia on their way back from a mission so casually.

“Gray sama can juvia stay with you, she’s too tired to walk all the way to fairy hills”

“Yeah of course” gray replied back to her

“Erm gray sama you are going the wrong way” Juvia questioned

“Oh am I? , I’m sure it’s this way” he lead her just outside of town till they got to a small clearing in the trees Turing towards juvia with a pair of keys in is hands

“So you wanna move in together again?”

“Juuvinn”

-gray listens to Juvia sleep. He watches the rise and fall of her chest thankfull that he has her now. He tends to over think about how he treated her in the past and feels like he needs to make it up to her. Juvia disagrees.

- juvia subconsciously holds grays hand whenever they are together. Whether it be at the guild, walking home, shopping or just on the couch together their hands and hearts are always intertwined.

-gray and juvia both memorise each others little habits, catch phases and every other detail about each-other. To juvias tappy fingers to grays favourite song. They know every about each other.

-they go on little dates all the time, they regularly go to this small trendy cafe in central magnolia when they go to the farmers markets. A few guild members have seen them at a local pub. They literally just go everywhere together.

“The usual sir?”

“Yes please” he looked over at juvia who was sitting down at the table closest to the window for “maximum sun” she says

“Ok, we will bring it to the table when it’s ready”

“Gray-Sama, did you get it?” She excitedly asked her boyfriend

“Of course I did” he smirked back to her slyly “one black coffee, one earl grey tea and the lovey dovey waffles set to share”

“Yay! Gray-Sama your the best boyfriend ever!”

“Yeah, yeah I know” he smiled as they continued to gossip about anything and anyone.

author’s note: hey! went on a lil break hehe! but we back!!! also. im sorry for this. i wanted fluff but also angst so. we have this ig! sorry!

“Gray-sama, get in here! Hurry!” Juvia exclaimed from their room as she lounged on their bed, her hand gently rested upon her stomach.

Juvia was always an excitable person, but that was amplified now more than ever. Gray quickly finished up washing dishes and arrived, standing firmly in the doorway.

“What is it?”

“Juvia thinks the baby is kicking!” Her eyes lit up as she removed her glowing eyes from Gray down to her still flat stomach.

He let out an exhale and leaned himself against the wall. “Oh yeah? The baby’s kicking at 8 weeks?” He raised an eyebrow and smirked.

Juvia pouted her lips, looking bummed that Gray had brought her back down to reality. Even though she knew there was no way the baby was big enough yet, she was just excited. They only found out she was pregnant just one week before from Porlyusica, and of course Juvia was bouncing off the walls with happiness.

“Okay, maybe baby-chan wasn’t kicking.” She grumbled. Gray snorted at her adorable look of frustration and decided to lay down next to her.

“Ya’ know I actually wouldn’t be surprised if it was already kicking. He does have two badass mages for parents, after all.” He smirked and propped himself up on his hand.

“This is true.” Juvia matched him and turned to her side. “Juvia’s sure baby-chan will be kicking in no time.”

“So is ‘baby-chan’ his unofficial name now?” Gray playfully raised a brow.

“For now.” Juvia let out a breath of serenity and turned flat on her back. “But don’t worry, Juvia already has name ideas.” She turned her head to Gray.

“Shocker.” Gray sarcastically grumbled.

Juvia paused. “Well, don’t you want to hear them?” She said, her voice squirmed with anticipation.

Gray snorted. “I have a feeling you’re gonna tell me anyway.”

She giggled and flipped herself gently as she rested upon Gray’s chest, using her elbows to hold herself up on him.

“Juvia is thinking Gray Jr. for a boy and Violet for a girl.” Her smile lifted from ear to ear.

“Gray Jr.? No way.” He quickly shot it down. “And don’t you think Violet is a bit corny? That’s three generations of color names.”

Juvia sunk. “Juvia can’t think of any name better than Gray for a boy! It’s perfect! And Juvia likes color names!”

Gray yawned. “Ok I think it’s time for bed. We can talk about your stupid name ideas another time. For now, you and baby Periwinkle should get some sleep.” Gray teased as he leaned over to the lamp beside him and flicked it off.

“Ooo Periwinkle! That’s cute!” She grinned, quickly bouncing back from Gray’s rejection.

“I was just joking!” Gray exclaimed.

Juvia ignored his objections and snuggled up close to him. “Honestly, Juvia doesn’t really care about what baby-chan’s name is. Juvia will be happy no matter what.” She closed her eyes and smiled in bliss.

Gray looked down at her, and although he couldn’t see much in the darkness, the moonlight shined in through the window onto her. Her blue hair contrasted beautifully with her creamy skin, and her lashes coated her closed eyes in such a mystical way. Her grin faded to a soft smile as she drifted to sleep. He knew it was just a saying, but she really did seem to be glowing in a different way than before she was pregnant.

She was creating a human life. A life that would belong to him and her. That was different and more special than any spell cast by any of Fairy Tail’s mages. This was much more than just magic, and Gray and Juvia were so thankful to be apart of it. Even if this baby wasn’t originally what they planned, at least not at that point in time, they were still overjoyed nonetheless.

“Yeah.” He quietly agreed with her and matched her in closing his eyes, and they fell into a seeminlgy peaceful sleep.

Juvia awoke to a jolt of pain in her lower stomach. Her body twitched as her mind groggily took in her surroundings. She could tell that it was still night time, and Gray was still asleep. His back was turned to her, as he usually ended up separating himself from her in his sleep. She turned her head and looked at the clock and the time read 4:05 AM.

As she began to wonder why she was awake, she was reminded with another stabbing pain that caused her to wince. She took the blanket off of herself in attempt to get up and use the bathroom, but she was met with a horrific sight.

Her grey pajama pants had been stained in blood. Her eyes widened in terror at what she was seeing, and her heart fell into a deep pit in her stomach. She felt her veins run cold yet her face broke out into a sweat.

“G-gray-sama…” Her voice was a chilling whisper as she nudged him with her elbow. After he didn’t wake up, she nudged again, harder, but did not repeat his name.

He grumbled and turned onto his back, still wanting to be asleep. “What is it?” He muttered.

Juvia gulped. “Gray-sama,” She felt her eyes well up with tears, but not from the pain in her stomach. “I think something’s wrong.” Her voice cracked.

“What do you-” His eyes finally opened, and he was stopped dead in his tracks once he finally saw Juvia.

He quickly sat up right beside her. “Oh my god.” He said, and that was all he could think to say.

Juvia took in a sharp breath as more pain settled in her stomach, and she instinctively held on to herself. She crunched her eyes shut and tears leaked out of the sides. Gray immediately put his hands atop of hers, hoping that would somehow stop her pain.

“I’m calling Porlyusica.” Gray finally decided, and he shot up from their bed and grabbed his communication lacrima that was on their dresser.

He dialed the code as fast as possible and held the phone up to his ear. He looked at Juvia with fear and pain in his eyes as he subconsciously paced back and forth in the room.

After quite a few rings, she picked up the phone. “Hello? What do you want?” She grumbled, as grumpy as ever.

“Porlyusica, it’s Gray. Um– J-Juvia just woke up a-and there’s blood and she’s in a lot of pain.” He ran a hand through his thick tangled hair.

“I’ll be there in 10 minutes.” She shortly said, and then hung up the phone.

Gray threw the phone aside and knelt beside Juvia as she remained sitting up on the bed, clenching herself in pain.

“Hey,” Gray cupped one of Juvia’s cheeks in his hand and she finally opened her eyes, looking at him as more tears fell. “It’s gonna be alright. Porlyusica’s on her way, ok?” His hand ever so slightly shook as he brushed some stray hairs behind her ear. Juvia nodded and let out another wince of pain.

They both had never felt a fear like this before. No battle, enemy, or situation had made them felt what they were feeling in that exact moment.

After what seemed like hours, there was a knock on their door. Gray quickly sprung up and let Porlyusica in, guiding her to their bedroom.

She ran tests, cast spells, and had Juvia drink potions. Neither of them could tell what was going on, but they just hoped for the best. All they could do was hope.

The last spell ended, and a solemn look still remained on the old woman’s face. She slowly turned her head upwards towards Juvia, then to Gray, and then back to Juvia. It seemed she was looking for the right words to say, but she didn’t need to find them. Everyone knew what had happened.

“I’m so sorry…” Porlyusica finally picked up her gaze and looked at Juvia, and when their eyes met she let out a sob. “You lost the baby.”

Juvia brought her hands up to her mouth and covered it, one hand over the other, like she was trying to hold her cries in. Gray was at a loss for any words or actions. He just finally sat himself down on the edge of their bed.

“This wasn’t anyone’s fault.” Porlyusica continued. “It was just early on in the pregnancy. Miscarriages are very common for the whole first trimester.” She continued to talk, but her voice faded to almost nothing in Gray and Juvia’s ears. The sounds of their beating hearts overpowered her.

“You may feel cramps for the next day or two. Take this potion to ease the pain.” She put a small vile on their end table. “Contact me if you need anything else.” She turned from Juvia to Gray.

“Thanks.” Gray finally looked up at her, and then back down to the ground. Porlyusica nodded and escorted herself out of the couple’s apartment.

As soon as the door shut, Juvia let out a loud cry. Gray instantly turned himself around and saw his girlfriend curled up as she sat, weeping into her hands. He came up beside her and wrapped his arm around her small frame, pulling her into his shoulder.

“O-our baby…” Juvia sniffled and continued wailing.

“Shh.” Gray lulled as he rubbed his hand up and down her arm.

“I’m so sorry, Gray-sama.” She finally quited her sobs.

“Don’t you dare apologize.” Gray said, more sternly than he meant to. “You heard Porlyusica. This wasn’t anyone’s fault.”

“J-Juvia knows but–”

“But nothing.” Gray interrupted and took his hold off of her, positioning himself to see her face which was swollen and soaked with tears.

“Don’t apologize for something you didn’t do.”

She sniffed, took a breath, and wiped at her tears. “Gray-sama is right.” She sat herself up and turned her back to Gray, planting herself at the edge of the bed. “Juvia supposes she should shower.” Her voice tried to stay still, but it couldn’t help but quiver.

There was a moment of pause as Juvia tried to stand up from the bed. As Gray watched her work up the energy to stand, he saw her arms shake as they were pressed beside her. After the shaking, her shoulders began to bob up and down and Gray could hear something escape her mouth that sounded something like a yelp. In the next instant, he grabbed onto Juvia’s shoulder and pulled her into him once again, but this time she was pressed on his chest, and Gray wrapped both arms around her.

“J-Juvia needs t-to shower…” She said into Gray’s torso with her voice shaking.

“It can wait.” Gray said shortly, and held her even tighter, and with the closer embrace came Juvia’s tears. She finally reciprocated the hold and dipped into him as she sobbed and sobbed.

Gray repeated the same thing he told Juvia earlier.

“It’s gonna’ be alright.” His voice was low, and he took in a deep breath, inviting in the scent of Juvia’s hair. It smelled like coconuts, and it was so familiar to him that it slightly clamed him.

He did mean it. Everything would be alright. Just as anything else, this would heal with time, althought it was hard for either of them to believe. They would get through this. There was no doubt in Gray’s mind that they would.

Juvia continued her weeping, and Gray closed his eyes hoping that would somehow block out the horrible noise all around him, but it didn’t. He shushed her and stroked the top of her back.

A tear crept out of his closed eyes, and his voice was even lower. “Everything’s gonna’ be ok.” He told himself as he held on to the woman he loved.

Kiss comic gruvia

So um... I'm obviously a huge fan of Gruvia, and I haven't posted in a while so I just whipped this up. I always like the idea of Gray being the more hesitant one when it comes to initiating romance, but when he goes in, he GOES IN y'know? Does that sound dirty, I sure hope not...

It's been a while since I've actually drawn a kiss scene so sorry if it looks bad. Their looks are based off of the redesigns I posted for them in the past so especially with Juvia if her hair looks off, that's why.

I hope everyone likes this, I love them so bad.

P.S. I totally suck a paneling so pls don't judge me too harshly if the formatting is wrong💔😭.

[itzgruvia]

I love thissss ♥️😭😭

[gem-ini24]

Gray had horrible decision paralysis when he was a tween. Obviously stemming from his trauma about choosing to abandon Ur and Lyon to fight Deliora when he wasn’t read, that decision having cost him two of his most important relationships as a child. Ultimately it affects small decisions he has to make as he gets older, he no longer has any trust in his own decisions.

He wouldn’t choose where to go, what to drink, what to eat, how to wear his hair or where he would sit. He usually just let someone from fairy young ,preferably Cana, drag him along to whatever they were doing and piggyback off their decisions.

For jobs he’d usually subtly hint that he wanted direction

“This is a pretty good quest, pays well.” Said in an overly loud tone attempting to get feedback. If given a positive reaction he’d take the quest and use the suggested mode of transportation, if he recieved a negative or none response he’d walk away from the quest board, abandoning his attempt for a quest, or pick up another one and cycle through the process again.

Of course the guild picks up on this and they play along. Gray isn’t prone to asking for help, it more like he’ll herd you into helping him without asking then make it seem like it was your idea all along. Naturally the guild did everything they could to help, it was easier to just take initiative and let Gray follow them.

Gray does slowly grow out of it, realizing that no matter who is making the decision bad things can and will still happen, as evidenced by Lisanna’s “death”. Lisanna and Elfman followed Mira’s words to a Tee, religiously following the rules she set with them while pushing boundaries where there was wiggle room and something bad still happened. Obviously Gray doesn’t blame Mira or Elfman but this is the kickstart he needs to fully break away from his paralysis.

Over the years it becomes something less sad and more funny. Gray turns into a deeply indecisive person at truly inconvenient times.

Cana wants to go out clubbing?

He can’t figure out what to wear, if his shoes match, whether to straighten his hair or wear it as is. Every one of their hangs out goes as follows:

Gray puts on an outfit.

Does his hair.

Waits for Cana to complete her look then randomly decides he hates his body.

Spends ten minutes complaining about how his face looks off in this shirt and deciding to change.

He cycles through ten different outfits before throwing his hands up and deciding not to go.

Cana then whoops his ass, throws an outfit at him, doesn’t let him look in the mirror once he’s ready and steals his house keys so he has to follow her.

Generally as Gray gets older he no longer has the paralysis only the indecision which is at times inconvenient (other times hilarious) but not life threatening and he can do things on his own.

Small reminder that in the manga: 

 Gruvia is the only romantic couple that has a unison raid 

Gruvia is the only one who lived together 

Gruvia is the only one where one takes the habits of the other 

Gruvia was the only one who had the blessing of his father

Gruvia prefers to fight together because they recognize the strength of the other 

Gruvia knows the past of the other 

Gruvia is willing to give life without hesitation for the other 

Gruvia has been noticed by several characters and couples (Alzack and Bisca, Wendy….)

And I’m sure I forget some things but it’s always good to remember that… 

GRUVIA IS CANON
