Day Six Prompt: I lived/show me (Gruvia) (For extra feels listen to this song while reading, I think it fits Gruvia really really well)
“Juvia! Hey, wait up!” Gray called, slipping on the dewy ground as he chased after the blue haired woman.
She giggled, her long hair rippling behind her as she darted ahead of him, seeming to move with ease against the wet grass.
“Juvia!” He implored, running out of breath. “Slow down!”
She laughed and spun around, deep eyes sparkling. “Gray-sama is so slow! Juvia thought he was stronger.” She raised an eyebrow slightly in challenge, smirking cheekily.
“Why you...” He bent down and in one swift movement froze the dew on the grass.
Her eyes widened and she let out a squeak, flailing her arms as she began to slide back down the hill, picking up speed as she struggled to keep her balance. “Gray-sama!”
He laughed and caught her as she collided into him, steadying her in his arms as they slowly slid to a stop.
She had her hands placed lightly against his chest from where she steadied herself, her fingers ever so slightly curled brushing against the smooth fabric of his shirt that he had somehow managed to keep on.
His arms were still wrapped around her tightly, holding her flush against his body.
Her eyes flickered up to meet his, cheeks tinged a heavenly shade of pink. Long lashes brushed her cheeks as she blinked.
He felt the breath catch in his throat, suddenly forgetting how to speak as he looked at her.
“That was a mean trick.” She said in a hushed voice.
“Well, I had to do something to stop you, I didn’t know you were so fast.” He replied, voice just as low.
“Juvia was happy Gray-sama was chasing after her for once.” She said, eyes lowering.
“Why would I need to chase after you? I know you’ll always be by my side. I can always count on you to be there for me.”
The color on her cheeks flushed darker. “J-Juvia will always be ready to help Gray-sama if he needs it...”
He smiled. “That’s what I-” He trailed off, the words he wanted to say caught in his chest and sat there, aching. Why wouldn’t they come out? Sometimes it was impossible to say what he felt...
She looked back up. “Yes, Gray-sama?”
“Did you know I can dance?”
She raised her eyebrows slightly. “R-really? Gray-sama doesn’t seem like the dancing type.”
He smiled. “Yeah, well, I’ll do it every now and then. I’m pretty good too.”
Juvia bit her bottom lip lightly. “Would...would Gray-sama let Juvia see?”
He shifted her in his arms until he had one arm around her waist, his free hand holding hers. “May I have this dance?”
She smiled happily and nodded, sliding her arm up to rest against his, her hand placed lightly on his shoulder.
He wasn’t exaggerating when he said he was good at it, they seemed to float across the grass, his feet moving easily over the still frozen ground.
Juvia followed his movements, feeling as if she was floating as he spun her around before pulling her back to him.
Their eyes remained locked on each other, things they wanted to say exchanging between gazes, words weren’t needed for them to tell the other what they were feeling.
Juvia’s hand brushed the hair at the nape of his neck, slow, hesitant, careful.
He made no protest, merely pulled her closer to him.
She suddenly realized that they were no longer moving. “W-we’ve stopped dancing...”
“So we have.” He murmured, eyes flickering down to her mouth. “Juvia...”
“Would...would it be alright if I kissed you?”
Her cheeks darkened, eyes suddenly flickering away shyly. “J-Juvia doesn’t mind...”
He lifted his thumb up to brush against her pink cheek. “Are you embarrassed?”
Her eyes fluttered at his gentle caress, gaze still not on his. “N-no...m-maybe a little...”
Her eyes flickered up to meet his for a moment, and then she closed them, lashes resting gently against her cheeks.
Her cupped her cheek with his hand, and gently lowered his face to hers.
He felt her sigh and melt against him as he pressed his lips over hers, her fingers shifting up to gently run through his hair.
She was gentle, careful, as if she was afraid to ruin the moment.
Gray was drunk on the taste of her, wanting, no, needing more. Both hands slid up to hold her face, tilting his head so he could get a better angle.
She let out a little moan when his tongue brushed across her bottom lip, opening her mouth willingly to give him access.
He quickly took advantage of this and slid his tongue into her mouth, expecting her to let him have free reign, he was surprised when her tongue collided with his own.
A low groan sounded in the back of his throat as she lightly tugged at his hair, humming happily as she tilted her head and fought for dominance.
After a few moments they broke apart for air, both breathless and panting slightly.
“Wow...” Gray said, causing Juvia to smile shyly.
“Juvia wanted to thank Gray-sama for showing her he could dance.”
He brushed a lock of hair out of her face and smiled. “Maybe we should dance more often.”
She smiled brightly and slid her hand into his. “Juvia would like that very much.”
