Hello! I like to write! Here you will find fanfictions I have written (pen name randomteenager, though I'm in university!). The current muse is Gray and Juvia from Fairy Tail, so you'll find a lot of that here. I hope you enjoy my stories! Thank you for reading!
hi everyone, happy valentine’s day :)
I’m crawling out from my rock to share a throwback story I wrote back in 2014 that fits this theme really well. some of you may have already read it, but for those of you that haven’t, I hope you enjoy!! take care everybody :)

"I don't like this."
Gray frowned as the handcuff clapped around his right wrist, locking him to the bedpost. He jostled the chain as Juvia walked around the bed, chaining his other wrist to the opposite column.
"Stop thinking about breaking it, Gray-sama," she said, noting the way he eyed his restraints with distaste. "Gray-sama promised."
"Yeah, well, I change my mind."
But his words lost conviction as his eyes trailed licentiously down his girlfriend's body. She wore silk black lingerie, a black bra with bows rimming the edges and laces wrapping her stomach in an x-pattern. Tight boy shorts hugged her bottom, cross laces lining down her hips paired with thigh-high stockings. Gray almost smirked at the sight of her. He'd never realized how good she looked in black, how the dark tone accentuated the ivory of her skin and vibrancy of her azure eyes.
"Hm," Juvia hummed, teasing a finger down his bare chest as she stood at the side of the bed. She'd left him wearing only his boxers—he'd initially stripped them off along with the rest of his clothes, but she made sure that he kept at least one article of clothing. He wasn't sure why, but he didn't think much of it. It'd come off soon anyway.
The bed creaked as she shifted onto the mattress, her legs hooking around his sides and straddling his hips. She leisurely glided her hand down his chest, smiling at the way his body tensed beneath her.
i miss your stories! perhaps you could surprise us in gruvia week? :)
Aw, thank you so much. It’s really flattering that you still remember me and miss me on top of that! I wish I could contribute to Gruvia week, but I need to apply to internships and take care of university things and balance extracurriculars and whatnot, so sadly the time isn’t there. I’m sure there will be other wonderful contributions though!
I just want to tell you that i miss your stories. Your gruvia fanfiction always make me happy and Help me Forget my problems for a few moment. People like are so precious ! Thank you for all you re doing for People like me.
Aw!!! Thank you so much!!! This really means a lot to me, you have no idea :)
I’m so sorry I’ve been so inactive, life has been insanely complicated, and it’s a long long story with a variety of factors. Nevertheless, I’m glad I was able to write so much for Fairy Tail and Gruvia when I was pretty active and writing a lot. Responses like yours thrilled me and made me soar to the moon. I hope one day I can get back into the swing of things, but as life progresses I’m honestly not sure what will happen, but I can certainly tell you that my stories will always be there for you if you ever need a distraction :) I won’t be taking them down or anything.
I hope things are well with you, and thank you so SO much for sending me this!!! You’re a wonderful, lovely person :)
Okay, so I’m super late to this. Writing this 3 minutes before midnight, so I’m sorta on time…? Yeah? No? Okay. Sorry!
Okay, so I can’t get all the writers because God knows I read way too many fanfics and it’s just very hard to keep up, but I’ll try!
bonneyq Okay, you’re fanfics give me life. You’re the Gruvia queen in my eyes. You’re sweet and I honestly love your fanfics to pieces and I’m going to try to be cool about this but I’m pretty sure I’ve been through your profile a hundred times and read every fanfic I could find. You’re too amazing and I freak out every time I receive notifications for your fics. /)0//////0(\

I just love all of them because they’re cute and vv chill. If you ever stop writing, I will kick your ass. I love hate you. c;

yuyuhakubro Um, so you saw my reaction when you first joined the little Gruvia sin chat. As you can see, I honestly love you and your writing and cried when I met you because you were one of my favorite fanfic authors and just, yeah. I love them. Every single one of them.
umjustkatie I can’t believe I didn’t read your fanfics before. You’re all over the Gruvia tag. Your writing is just so good and I can’t. I love you and it was vv hard to keep my cool around you after reading them.
firefiredragonsandstuff I read your writing and it was honestly vv good. I hope to read more of it more!
nothingbutwordsstuff Yes, I love your writing vv much. It rips out my heart and there is no feeling better than that. You’re the angst queen and I love you for it, Granny Mira! Keep writing because your fanfics are just so good.
little-hatchling Waifu, I love your writing! It’s so good! You have got to show me more stuff! That Juvana drabble? Perfect. It was poetic, it was metaphoric, and it was absolute beauty. The angst was real, Ry. I love it almost as much as I love you. c;

And there are probably so many authors I have missed or have not read from yet, but I love all of you! I am so grateful for all of you! You make me go through a rollercoaster of feels and emotions and I just love all of you. Even when you tear my heart out from angst or make me squeal so much from fluff that people around me think I’m crazy. :’) All of you are so amazing and I am so grateful that every single one of you write.
Writing takes a lot of time and effort, and honestly just creates a lot of stress a times. Believe me, I know. And yet, despite all that, you all continue writing for us. Thank you for doing what you do, and I hope you continue and enjoy it!
Ooh!! *A* Thank you very much for including me!! I'm very flattered those two are your favorite stories ;u; and thank you for reading my stories!! I really appreciate the mention c:
Okay so I was going to do this in the morning, and then my fiance stayed home from work so sorry for the delay darlings! Anyways here’s my fanfiction writers appreciation post. Happy Fanfiction Writers Appreciation Day!
youaintgotthefunk aka. randomteenager - My Queen of Queens and my Smut Queen! Arianna you were the first person in the fandom I started talking to, way back when I was just lurking on FF.net. You were super sweet and would always message me thanking me for my reviews, and then I found your writing blog and bookmarked it and literally checked it daily because you were always coming up with new stuff. You’re reason I joined Tumblr and the reason I started writing again. So thank you beautiful! I owe you a lot!
My favourite fics of yours? There are so many but I can never get over Blame it on the Alcohol, where Juvia does body shots off Grays chest. That and Be My Lover… cause damn… Gruvion is my weakness.
storyquipster or ff.net link - My Brotp Queen! because the way you write Gajeel and Juvia and your headcanons for them are just amazing. I absolutely love your writing style and the little details you put into every fic. My favourite fic of yours will probably always be Third Wheel but I adore Date Night because 1 it’s amazing, plus it’s Gruvion, it’s hilarious, and dramatic all at the same time and 2 because it’s totally the first fic were you noticed me as a reviewer and remembered me by so it’s special to me. And then there’s Taken By The Wind… I swear you made me cry with that. It broke me so badly the first time through I actually avoided it, but it’s so well done and as much as I want more fics in the Avatar universe I just know they’re all gonna fall short of that so bravo, way to set the bar so high in that universe that no one else can touch it. :P
momocicerone or Momo Cicerone - Oh Waifu, you are my Edo Gruvia Queen. And I know you say its an undeserved title but you never give yourself enough credit because you write angst like no one else. Hell you inspired my angst! I love your poetic style and I love getting to help you out and get sneak peaks at your work! My favs of yours. Catch Me if You Can, Into your Gravity, Sanity (this will forever be a companion piece to Nothing Compares as far as I’m concerned) and I also LOVE Never Cease to Amuse Me. I had so much fun headcanoning that with you! <3 you Deysi.
yuyuhakubro aka fauxtr0t - Ahh! MEG! Okay I owe you so much love. Auxillum is still one of my all time favourite fics and your responses to my headcanons and ideas definitely helped ignite the writing flame back in me. You are so talented with your writing and your descriptions are sublime. Most importantly I love how your AU’s focus on early to mid twenties life and how you always make it realistic to life. Oh and then there’s your smut which LORD woman help me you write delicious smut. ;) Oh and thanks for being my crack shipping buddy!
umjustkatie aka umk - My precious princess! You are my princess of AU’s and comedy because you never fail to make me laugh and I think you have more AU’s than Deysi and I combined and that should be impossible! Heads or Tails never fails to make me smile and laugh out loud and squeal in delight and your neighbours AU is just too cute. You’re such an uplifting writer and I love that you just go for it! Also I’m excited for you to get older because I have a feeling you’re gonna be another great smut writer.
celestialcontrail aka Contrail - Okay so I don’t think there is enough love in the world for you. One, you’re an incredible writer and two the support and love you give to this fandom is incredible. I LOVE Let Me Serve You and I also really enjoyed Unwavering Acceptance. I think you do such a great job of keeping Gray and Juvia in character and I’m really excited about your two newest multi-chapters!
Okay so it’s 10pm and getting late so I’m gonna have to continue this in the morning but here’s the rest of the list of people I want to send love to because you’re all amazing

prompt list – 6: “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”
hello!! thank you for the message! i agree, i hope i was able to capture a little bit of that ;u;shout out to giugiu [thegreatgrapist] for giving me the idea!! c:
Turning the shower handle off, the showerhead squeaked as the water spray ceased its flow. Juvia stepped out and reached for the towels, promptly wrapping one around herself while drying her hair with the other.
The towels were different from her “Gray-sama” brand—they were plain, and not as soft, but Juvia didn’t mind the difference. Not when she had the real Gray-sama with her in exchange.
Her heart still fluttered at the thought: her, and Gray… living together. Every day seemed like a dream, and each night she could hardly sleep knowing her Gray-sama was there just next door.
Timidly, she stepped out of the bathroom, shuffling towards Gray’s room. Just a little peek wouldn’t hurt, to remind her this was all real—
She poked her head around the corner, peering inside, only to blink. Gray wasn’t inside. Was he still outside training?
Juvia swooned at the thought. He was such a hard-worker, training until sundown. She could picture it now—he’d walk inside, shirtless with his glorious muscles gleaming in sweat, and ask for dinner to be prepared while he washed himself off. She’d have everything perfectly prepared the minute he returned, and he’d eat her cooking heartily, never knowing the way her heart soared when he’d ask for seconds. Then they would retreat to their rooms for the evening, and Juvia would float in a love-laced daze until she fell asleep and the next day would begin.
She sighed dreamily, sweeping her hand across the dark navy sheets before falling back against the mattress. Sometimes, when she would awake in the middle of the night, she’d peer inside his room to see if he was okay. He slept in only his boxers, a sight that never failed to make her heart race, and his hair was always tousled, falling messily over his face. He snored lightly and shifted between sleeping on his back or side, with his blanket usually thrown off his legs and his navy sheets tangled in disarray—
The girl paused, abruptly sitting forward and clutching her towel to her form. Looking to the navy sheets below her, her heart skipped a beat. When had she entered Gray-sama’s room like this? And so boldly lied in his bed, in only a towel!
Yet… the scent of him was… everywhere. Her cheeks warmed at the thought. Lying down once more, she turned on her side, nestling against his pillow. She closed her eyes, and with his scent permeating in the room, she could practically envision it—Gray lying beside her, with his arm slacked over her waist and his body flush against hers. She’d listen to the sound of his even breathing, and how the exhaled air would brush the side of her neck and make her heart race; but most of all, she’d feel safe, warm, peaceful, loved—
“Juvia?”
The girl jumped with a start, snapping her gaze to the door and flushing dark upon finding Gray standing underneath the doorway.
“G-Gray-sama!” she squeaked.
“Uh,” he mumbled, sliding his shirt off his shoulder, “is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”
She squealed, shutting her eyes and covering her chest with her arms. “J-Juvia is so sorry! She—She didn't—Juvia will go prepare dinner now!”
She quickly stood and ducked her head, zipping past him in a blur. He blinked as she dashed to her room, shutting her bedroom door behind her.
ARIANNA WHY MUST U ALWAYS KILL ME SOFTLY WITH YOUR FICS IM GOING TO LIE DOWN IMMEDIATLY BC OF THAT LATEST DRABBLE
OMG CLAUDIA YOU ARE TOO KIND AS ALWAYS!! I live to drain you inside B) HEHE, but thank you so much for the message buddy!!! So kind ;u; You’re the best!
“‘Cause I might need help taking off my pants.'Her face steamed as she squealed, only to faint on the hospital floor." - Wow, loved this ending!! The whole story was fun to read :)
Ahh, thank you so much!! c: I rewrote the way it was phrased a few times, so I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you so much for sending me this message ;u;
i came up with this idea like a year and a half ago… lol. finally got around to completing it. i hope you like it! ;u;
Sitting on an infirmary bed, Gray grumbled to himself, itching at the cast around his arm.
So he'd been a little reckless. Him and Natsu were put on a mission together, alone, so it really shouldn't have been that big a surprise that something went wrong.
While spontaneously ambushed during their mission, the boys had made it a competition to see who could K.O. the most enemies. In retrospect, they might have been a little too overzealous as they made their way back to the guild, Natsu favoring his unfrozen leg while Gray cradled his burned arm.
Eh, injuries happened, and Gray never minded them because they usually looked cool. But what he did mind—or rather what he hated because it was always so damn annoying and inconvenient—was the healing.
Shifting on the hospital bed, he sighed in exasperation. Why was he even here? The burn wasn't even that bad, and he missed out on hearing more of Natsu's whines to Lucy's scolding as she dragged him to the same hospital demanding his encased ice leg be properly taken care of.
Blinking, Gray idly glanced to the chair nearby where Juvia's hat and overcoat lay draped.
The water mage had naturally thrown a fit when she saw her beloved Gray-sama injured. She insisted on taking care of him no matter how many times he told her he was fine, and he discovered that the girl could be pretty damn stubborn as she "accompanied" him to the hospital and intently studied the doctor until he taught her how to soothe the burn and apply his bandages.
Seeing a figure approach, Gray turned his head, finding Juvia entering the room. She took careful steps, her vision obstructed by the stacks of medicine and fresh gauze in her arms.
He rolled his eyes and swung his legs off the bed, making his way towards her. She lost her balance and tilted one way, causing one roll of gauze to slip, and she peeped as she struggled to catch it before Gray smoothly caught it with his uninjured arm.
"Juvia," Gray called, placing the gauze aside, "you really don't have to be here."
"But Juvia wants to be here," she replied quickly, staggering a little before placing the bundle of medicine and gauze down. "Gray-sama should only be resting, the doctor said—"
"I know what the doctor said," Gray grumbled, itching his cast again. "I'm fine. That flame-brain couldn't hurt me if he tried."
He wound his arm around to prove it, but he hissed at the burnt skin scraping against the gauze, shooting a sharp pain through his arm.
Juvia winced, and he hated the sympathetic look in her eyes. He whisked his head away with a scoff, placing a cooling hand against his cast as he iced the stinging heat from the friction.
"Um…" Juvia began, her voice quiet and timid. "May Juvia change Gray-sama's bandages?"
He grunted, glaring at a corner. "Fine. Whatever."
She offered a small smile, taking a roll of gauze and placing it on the bed. She patted the sheets and Gray grumbled, sitting on the edge of the mattress as Juvia began carefully unwrapping the gauze on his arm.
Her face twisted at the sight of raw flesh as she placed the bundle of gauze in the trash. Lathering cooling medicine in her fingers, she tenderly massaged it into the injury. Gray grunted and Juvia quietly murmured an apology, continuing her treatment as he watched her face. She gently laid a damp cloth over the burn, her fingertips delicately pressing into it before she set it aside and took his arm, wrapping the fresh bandages.
"There," she said when she finished, smiling up at him.
He looked away when her eyes met his. "Thanks."
A faint blush tinted her cheeks as she flashed another smile. "Is Gray-sama hungry?"
"No."
"Does Gray-sama need—"
"I'm just gonna sleep," he muttered, reclining on his back as he lay his injured arm over his stomach and folded the other behind his head.
"Ah, of course," Juvia said, taking a seat in the chair beside the bed. "Juvia will be here if Gray-sama needs anything."
He grunted and closed his eyes, trying to ignore the way her words replayed in his head.
True to her word, she was still there when he woke up.
She was the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes. First a haze of blue, then her sleeping form as she slept curled up against the hospital chair.
He sat himself upright, heaving a quiet sigh. No way was that chair comfortable. He told her she didn't have to stay—her help was nice and all, but the last thing he wanted was to be anyone's burden.
Moving off the bed, he took her jacket and draped it over her shoulders. She sighed and nestled into her folded arms, smiling contently in her sleep.
Gray scratched his hair before taking a seat at the edge of the bed. She looked comfortable. He didn't understand how, considering he usually needed a flat surface and a cool room and—why was he still wearing his shirt?
No wonder he didn't sleep for long, he was still wearing his shirt that should've been off hours ago.
He brought his hands to the buttons, only to furrow his brow. He couldn't bring his second hand to his shirt. Damn cast, limiting his movements—why couldn't he just be rid of the stupid thing.
He tried grasping the button with his single hand, but the damn thing kept slipping through his fingers. Even when he did get a good grip on his shirt, the damn button refused to be undone.
He didn't realize how much he'd been cursing under his breath until he heard Juvia stir before him.
"Gray-sama…?"
She rubbed her eye, blinking a few times while he continued to struggle with the button. He could do this dammit—maybe if he just started from the bottom instead of the top—
"Um… does Gray-sama need any he—"
"I got it," he shot back, twitching as the button continued eluding his grasp. Juvia sat up straight, watching quietly with her hands folded in her lap.
He lifted his hand from the bottom button, moving for the one just above it. His second hand instinctively rose to meet it, but the cast once again obstructed it. Damn stupid thing—
"Gray-sama," Juvia called sympathetically.
He growled in frustration, dropping his hand to his side. "Just get it over with," he muttered, whipping his head away.
Her heart immediately skipped a beat. Did she hear that right? He was letting her assist him? In removing his shirt? Heat rushed to her cheeks, making her whole face pink as she shyly stood up and shuffled towards him.
Once she fell into place before him, her gaze fell to the white collared shirt that perfectly clung to his magnificent body. She couldn't believe it! To do something so… bold, with the weight of his gaze pressing onto her—her heart accelerated even faster, thumping in her chest.
Slowly, hesitantly, she raised her slender fingers, delicately taking hold of the top button. His body seemed to tense while her fingers trembled, gently slipping the button out of its buttonhole. She moved her fingers lower, and she saw the rise of his chest as he took a breath, making her stifle a squeal while she undid another button. But as the dip of his shirt deepened, opening his shirt wider and wider, Juvia flushed dark at the sight of his toned chest, trying to control the pounding beat of her heart as she finished her task.
Gray shrugged off his sleeves to his elbows, averting his gaze with a hint of a blush on his cheeks. Did she have to be staring at him like that? As if this wasn't awkward enough, not to mention a blow to his pride, her blatant ogling really wasn't helping—
She swiftly finished the last button, and he blinked when she wordlessly tugged off the sleeves and folded his shirt before neatly placing it aside. Her cheeks were still pink as her eyes flickered shyly to his, then dropped to his chest once more. Her gaze remained fixed, her eyes roving over each dip and slope of his torso and making him tense under the scrupulous attention.
"Uh," he coughed, looking away and shifting in his place, "you can go now—"
Her hand slowly rose, resting gently against the guild mark imprinted on his chest.
He glanced to the hand on his chest before returning his gaze to her face, only to raise a brow. Her expression was… different. Not bashful or shy, but… something else.
Her fingers glided lower, slowly trailing down his skin. The soft touch sent subtle shivers through his body, making him stiffen. She brushed his rib cage, gently skimming over the healing bruises, and her lashes hooded over her eyes. He tried to read her face, but her expression was indiscernible.
Her fingers brushed the x-shaped scar on his side before a sad frown crossed her lips.
"Did it hurt?" she asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper.
He blinked, following her gaze to the hand on his scar. The memory replayed instantly—him slashing his side with his ice to mix his magic with his blood, to overcome his battle against Ultear.
"No," he answered her, looking to her face. He remembered Ultear driving a sword towards Juvia's throat, and how he narrowly reached her in time to save her. "It didn't hurt."
Her expression grew more somber as her fingertips grazed over the scars of his body. "Juvia's sorry."
Gray raised a brow. "For what?"
She tilted her head lower, hiding her watery eyes. "Juvia… couldn't protect…"
He narrowed his eyes, opening his mouth to retort—only to pause. She was genuinely upset. She had brought her other hand to his own, squeezing in apology. Her eyes were fixed to his bruises and scars, but in sadness, not disgust.
The sight made his stomach churn.
"Hey, what's with that face, huh?" he said, leaning forward to meet her downcast gaze. "I don't need your pity. All these scars show that no matter what happens I keep getting up, keep moving forward, keep living."
Her eyes saddened once more as her gaze fell to his scarred chest, roving over the healing injuries.
"…But—"
"Besides," he added as her gaze rose to his face, "they look cool, right?"
She laughed softly, and he grinned seeing her smile light up her face. He then felt her hands over his, and he blinked when she leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on his forehead, right against his scar.
His face grew warmer while his eyes flickered from her face to the corner of the room. Juvia tilted her head and smiled as a light blush dusted her cheeks.
"Juvia doesn't mind Gray-sama's scars," she said, gently squeezing his hands. "Gray-sama is right. They are a sign of living."
He studied her for a moment before nodding, giving a small grin in return. "Yeah, exactly."
"And…" she continued, making Gray lift a brow when she averted her eyes and ducked her head. She brought one hand to her mouth, a cute blush adorning her cheeks as she mumbled, "Gray-sama always looks cool."
He felt his face grow warm once more, quickly averting his gaze. She always knew how to fluster him.
"Yeah, well," he muttered, absently toying with her fingers lingering on his hand. He cleared his throat, eyes focused on the corner of the room. "Thanks for your help."
Juvia flinched, suddenly aware of his fingertips brushing against hers as her face erupted to a new shade of pink. "Yes, o-of course," she stammered, cheeks flushing darker. "I… um…"
Following her line of sight, he quickly released her hand. "Right, yeah," he mumbled, scratching the back of his head.
She smiled fondly at him, lacing her fingers before her. "Gray-sama should rest."
"Yeah," he nodded, lying down against his side. "If you want," he added, his back facing her, "you could stick around, you know, if you're not busy."
Her smile grew wider as her heart fluttered in her chest. "Don't worry, Gray-sama. Juvia isn't going anywhere."
"Er, good," he replied, and she looked at him affectionately, leaning over to pick up a magazine—
"'Cause I might need help taking off my pants."
Her face steamed as she squealed, only to faint on the hospital floor.
hello friends! I hope you don’t mind my combining requests, not just these two but also a suggestion made from the wonderful joc1967 on a review she left on a story of mine a while ago, hehe. thank you for sending in a prompt mpooh97, i actually just reblogged that list more as a reference than anything but i’ll try and fulfill anything i can ;u;
and xmelissamarie, so sorry this is so late!! but thank you for the request and compliment ;u; to answer your question, its a mix of both – some are on the spot and others I really think about. this was a little mix of both hehe.
strong language and mature content ahead! just so you know (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ i hope you guys like it! take care c:
It was like something out of a sitcom. Gajeel, single straight guy and intimidating enough to spark fear in the bravest man, living with single straight girl Juvia, who was cute and bubbly and hummed around the house and baked for fun.
It was only a matter of time until they fall in love, right?
Except, people seemed to forget the concept of platonic friendship. Juvia was his friend. Maybe best friend, if he were dying and she were the only one around to hear his last words.
But no, he wasn't dating her. He wasn't sleeping with her. He might've had a thing for petite blue-haired girls, but she wasn't his type. Juvia was like a sister to him, nothing more.
It got damn annoying saying it all the time. People were presumptuous morons who didn't care how many times he stressed no, she was just a friend, seriously.
But then she got a boyfriend, some cold prick named Gray Fullbuster who acted for months like he wasn't interested, but would spend almost every day with her and suddenly pull her close if any other guy got near her. Not to mention he knew as many things about Juvia as Gajeel did himself—well, not everything, but still a good amount. And even though he pretended to be some cool, nonchalant bastard, Gajeel saw the way he looked at Juvia when she wasn't looking. Almost reminded him of something about himself towards a particular blue-haired girl. Almost.
Either way, Fullbuster was a much better improvement than her ass of an ex Bora, and finally, with Juvia having her boyfriend with her almost all the time, people would stop pestering him about her being his girlfriend/sex buddy. Finally he would have peace.
Or so he thought.
They inherited a third roommate: Stripper Fuckface.
Fullbuster always lowered the thermostat to make the apartment ice cold, he left his clothes everywhere (even his damn boxers, who the hell did this prick think he was), he cleaned out their kitchen because Juvia loved to cook for him, and worst of all? He somehow kept up with Juvia's insanely demanding sex drive.
At least last time, Juvia always had the decency to satisfy her needs outside the apartment. She never took the bastard home, knowing full well the only thing Bora's face would touch was Gajeel's fist.
This time, though—Gajeel didn't know what the hell it was about this guy. She was literally wet for him all the fucking time.
What was so damn great about him? Just his presence alone was like an aphrodisiac or some shit. Maybe it was in his weirdass cologne, or maybe it was 'cause he was in decent shape (but Gajeel's own muscles were way bigger), or 'cause he wasn't the ugliest bastard he'd ever had the misfortune of laying his eyes on, but still—the prick came home with Juvia almost every night, and stayed there till morning or sometimes afternoon.
And their walls were thin. Damn, damn thin. Not to mention Juvia had a vocal range of a fucking banshee.
But whatever, as long as she was fucking happy. Which she was. She was smiling even more, had a skip in her step, baked all sorts of treats, made Gajeel's favorite meals out of the blue. The stripper prick knew that if he ever made Juvia sad, he'd get a tire iron up his ass, and he seemed to heed the warning pretty well.
He could deal with creaks of the bed, thumps on the walls and moans seeping through the cracks. He would just turn up the heavy metal blasting through his over-the-ear headphones and drown out the noise.
As long as he never caught them, there wouldn't be a problem.
There was nothing more annoying than spoiled bitch-ass kids. Bastards so damn picky about their Ferrari F50, like Gajeel had never seen one in person before. Fucking up-nosed silver-spoon-up-their-ass kids—if they knew so much about their car, why weren't they the ones tuning it up? Acting all high and mighty over a customized car. Despite their picky-ass demands, Gajeel still did a perfect job, of course; after all, he wasn't the best-known mechanic in the area for nothing. Still, the snotty bastards didn't make it easy.
Annoying little shits.
Trudging his feet home, exasperated from a long day's work, his mind drifted to the Jacuzzi stationed in the back of their apartment. Nothing like a good, long soak with solid jet streams shooting into his shoulders to end an annoyingly longass day. He'd texted Juvia earlier too, telling her to prepare the jacuzzi for him, and she'd replied all Juvia-y like, "Of course, Gajeel-kun!" with some heart, so there wouldn't even be a delay—it'd be all nice and prepped by the time he arrived.
When he came home, he found all his belongings ready to go, courtesy of Juvia—some swim trunks, towel, waterproof music player to relax pre-loaded with some heavy metal tunes. Quickly getting ready, he walked through the patio and kicked the door open, his tense muscles eager to rest, until—
"Ah… it's so… slippery…"
"Fuck, Juvia—that's so—ngh—"
"Ahh, Gray-sama—"
Fuck no. Oh fuck no. Gajeel stormed forward, only to grow livid at the sight—the stripping prick sitting at the edge of his jacuzzi, Juvia straddling his lap with her legs hooked on his sides, her bikini top coming undone with his face in her neck and her cheeks flushed from something other than the heat—
"SPRINKLER!"
"KYAA!"
Juvia's eyes suddenly shot open, freezing like a deer in headlights as her face whipped to his. She instantly clung herself to Gray, shrinking away from the steam shooting from her roommate's nose.
"G-Gajeel-kun! Don't look—!"
"The jacuzzi, Sprinkler?! The Jet Stream 5000?!"
"J-Juvia can explain—!"
"I told you I wanted a soak today after work, what the fuck—?!"
"Juvia is so embarrassed!" she cried. "She didn't think Gajeel-kun would be home this soon, and Gray-sama was helping her clean, and—and—can Juvia and Gajeel-kun discuss this later?!"
"Oh gee, is this a bad time? Too busy being fucked balls deep by your stripper boyfriend?!"
"Gajeel-kun!"
"Forget it! I'll just use Totomaru's place, dammit!" Gajeel snarled, passing a hand through his hair. His eyes flickered to Gray, who didn't so much blink under his glare while Juvia buried her mortified face in his neck. Arrogant bastard.
"The fuck you think yer looking at, stripper?!"
"Nothing," Gray replied nonchalantly, propping his elbows back against the rim of the jacuzzi. "Nice jacuzzi."
He curled his lips in a wicked smirk, and Gajeel saw red.
"What are you making again?"
"Brownies, Gray-sama!"
"Hm."
"Does Gray-sama want a taste?"
"Rather taste you."
"Ahh~! Gray-sama is sweeter than Juvia's batter…"
Gajeel rolled his eyes, shuffling in his drawer before pulling out his headphones and sliding them over his head. Tch, Juvia and her cheesy lovey dovey crap, and the stripper fuck was playing right into her hands. Stupid bastard.
Gathering the tools dispersed around him, Gajeel placed a wrench between his teeth and organizing the screwdrivers by size. Juvia did say organization was important, and maybe she had a point, considering he worked a lot faster when he was picking up his tools exactly where he needed them to be. So maybe it meant spending some time every day organizing his shit, but whatever—more work done meant more money, and more money meant—
Crash!
His head immediately snapped up, eyes narrowing at the sound.
Shit. That couldn't be good. The last time he heard a crash that loud, Juvia had dropped the pan because she had accidentally cut herself. The whole ride over to the emergency room was full of "Juvia is so sorry!" and whines and wails and all sorts of noise that only made her bleeding hand worse. It was a long night but a few stitches and sedatives later, peace was restored.
Pushing himself to his feet, Gajeel made his way over to the kitchen, grumbling under his breath. Maybe she just dropped a platter, but if she did hurt herself, at least the stripper would be there for her to cling to and dump all her flood of tears on—
"Oh—hah— "
"—C'mere—"
"—Ah—"
Gajeel felt his blood run cold and immediately rounded the corner, only to feel an immediate urge to puke.
On the kitchen counter—the fucking kitchen counter—with flour sprinkled around them and shit, was Juvia, on her back with her apron pushed up and the stripping fucker between her legs, rocking into her with his hands on her ass tilting her body higher. Juvia was clutching the edge of the counter and covering her mouth, stifling the noises coming from it, and the stripper was still fucking her like they totally weren't aware of his fucking presence and like fucking hell he was gonna sit and watch this—
"Fucking shit!"
Juvia suddenly tipped her head back and instantly flinched, letting out an ear-splitting scream. Gray cringed at the sound, popping a finger in his ear and gradually slowing his movements. Gajeel blew steam from his nose, clenching his trembling fist with a vein popping in his forehead.
"The fuck is this?! Where we fucking eat, Sprinkler?!
"G-Gajeel-kun—!"
"Are you fucking with me right now?!"
"More like fucking me right now—"
"Gray-sama!"
"You think this is funny, stripper fuck?!"
"G-Gajeel-kun—Juvia just—"
"You what?! Did you forget I'm right next fucking door?!"
"Um—uh—"
"YOU DID?"
"Juvia is so sorry!"
"For fuck's sake—!"
"Ngh, Juvia—"
"DON'T KEEP FUCKING GOING, STRIPPING FUCK—"
"G-Gajeel—ah!"
"GET THE FUCK OUT!"
"I would if Juvia would stop squeezing so much—"
"YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, STRIPPER—"
"Gajeel-kun! Juvia will clean everything spotless, she p-promis—ah, Gray-sama—"
"GODDAMMIT—"
Storming out of the room, Gajeel kicked Juvia's door open, gathering all of the stripper's shit scattered around. He could fucking hear them still going at it, the stripper's skin slapping hers and Juvia's moans getting louder till they were suddenly muffled—
Snarling, Gajeel stomped back out, walking passed the screwing couple making out on the tainted as fuck kitchen counter (so much for ever selling the place, goddammit). He slammed the front door open, dumping the stripper's shit outside with an angry growl.
The loud crash made the two part, glancing over with glazed, half-lidded eyes while Gajeel glowered murderously.
"GO FUCK IN YOUR OWN PLACE."
He ate take-out in his room for the rest of the week.
He heard the plate set down before him, but he didn't look up from the newspaper in his hand.
She was cleaning everything spotless, as if he didn't see his damn reflection in everything already. But she usually did clean when she was stressed or needed to pass the time, but still, he refused to fall into her trap.
"Gajeel-kun must be hungry," Juvia said, lifting his legs from the coffee table to dust the surface underneath.
He just grunted at her, turning the page.
"Gajeel-kun's food will get cold…"
He sniffed. The scent of charred steak filled his nose—singed just the way he liked, damn she was good—but he refused to yield. She wouldn't win that easily.
"Gajeel-kun—"
"Unless you broke up with the stripping bastard, I don't wanna hear it."
Finally Juvia sighed and took a seat beside him, and Gajeel inwardly groaned. Great. Here it comes—
"Juvia is so very sorry, Gajeel-kun—"
"—Don't care—"
"—Juvia is mortified that Gajeel-kun saw her and Gray-sama—"
"—tell that to Stripper Fuckface—"
"—and she will do anything she can to make it up to Gajeel-kun—"
"—You tainted the Jet Stream 5000—"
"Juvia will replace it!"
Gajeel snorted, straightening the newspaper in his hands. "Like you have that kind of money. We saved for months for that thing."
"Juvia will work extra shifts!" the girl pouted. "Whatever she can do to make it up to Gajeel-kun!"
The man gave her a flat look. "You fucked on our kitchen counter."
She instantly reddened, "J-Juvia is so sorry—!"
"You fucked in every inch of your room, probably fucked in our bathroom, in the shower, on this fucking sofa—"
"—G-Gajeel-kun!—"
"If you came anywhere near my room you better break up with the stripper now 'cause you'll be dating a eunuch—"
"Never!" Juvia gasped before she ducked her head, pressing the tips of her fingers together. "B-But… maybe… Juvia needs to clean the balcony—"
"Fuck, Sprinkler!"
"Juvia is so sorry!"
"No more!" Gajeel said sternly. "That stripper ain't allowed one fucking foot in this apartment anymore, got that? If I see him here, I'm out. End of discussion."
His tone was firm, his gaze unwavering from her own. Juvia flushed in embarrassment, bowing her head and nodding.
"Juvia understands."
Gajeel snorted, reclining on the couch once more. "Good. Now hand me that plate, will ya? M'fucking starving."
She looked at him, a small smile curving her lips before she retrieved the meal for him. He scoffed at the warm smile on her face, scarfing down the food without a second thought.
It was a regular day at the guild. Fresh sight for sore eyes compared to being stuck in an apartment where his roommate fucked almost every square inch.
Lily was with him, Mira was bartendin' as usual and gave him her guitar to tune up, and he even found his lucky white suit at home earlier. Yeah, today was an alright day so far.
Juvia had heeded his warning—he hadn't seen the stripper in days. Juvia assured that she cleaned and disinfected everything so many times they were practically new, so Gajeel could somewhat enjoy their place again.
No more ice cold temperature, no more random-ass clothes strewn everywhere, no more thumps and moans and defiling everything they touched.
He finally had his space back. About damn time.
Now to celebrate with some tunes.
"Yo, barmaid!" Gajeel called, earning a glance from Mira who was walking with a tray of drinks. "Where the mic at?"
"Storage room in the back, on the left," Mirajane smiled, setting down the tray.
Gajeel grunted in thanks, wasting no time scooting his chair back and trudging back there.
But right when he rounded the corner, he knew he made a grave, grave mistake.
"Shh, you have to keep it down, remember?"
"Ahnn, Gray-sama—your hand—"
"Mm, no panties today?"
"Mmm—"
Gajeel violently twitched, slamming the door open, "WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH THIS GUY?"
"KYAA!" Juvia screamed, pulling the front of her dress together. Gray simply blinked.
"Well, this is awkward—"
"The storage room!?"
"G-Gajeel-kun restricted the apartment—"
"THE FUCK'S WRONG WITH HIS PLACE?"
"U-Um—well—"
"We already fucked in every room there—"
"Gray-sama!"
As the couple bickered, Gajeel's face grew distant.
This was it. No place was safe. Not the apartment, not the guild, not the city or the river or the forest on the outskirts—nowhere. The stripper-fuck had ruined everything.
And so, with a perfectly straight face, he said, "I'm moving out."
The two glanced at him, and he shut the door in their face.

Hello lovely friend!! I know you sent this to me a LONG time ago, and my apologies for just responding now. i wish I could write out this whole wonderful idea! However, it seems like something that would easily turn into a multi-chap with proper character development and all (at least, that’s how I’d want it written), and given my already lapse in updates, taking on such a grandiose project is kind of daunting ;A; So with that said, I must respectfully decline :[ However, I did want to say the idea is certainly intriguing! And perhaps if anyone else would like to take on the project, they are more than welcome to :3
Thank you for thinking of me for this request though, I’m very flattered! And again the idea is interesting, so thank you so much for sharing :)
