Hello! This is my very first Gruvia oneshot I’m new to this writing stuff and I’m not very good at it. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve please let me know! However I ask that you be kind or I will die.
“Greige! You get back here!”
“You need to shower before Mama gets back!”
“Greige doesn’t want to shower! Greige wants to be stinky!”
Greige Fullbuster, age 5 and rebellious. Gray was doing everything in his power to get his son to bathe before his wife returned home. It usually isn’t this difficult however today was the young lad’s kindergarten class party. Gray knows his son. He knows Greige ate all kinds of sweets. So now Greige is hyper and running around while Gray is desperately trying to catch him to give the boy a shower.
Gray rubbed the temples on the side of his head and heaved a sighed. He was about to give up on his pursuit. Then an idea came to him. He smiled mischievously and thought to himself ‘Gray Fullbuster you are a genius!!’ He cleared his throat. “Greige, Your mama won’t give you any cuddles or kisses if don’t shower.” The boy stopped in his tracks.
He looked up at his father and pouted. “Mama doesn’t care if Greige’s doesn’t shower! She’ll still give Greige all the cuddles and kisses!” Gray chucked. He felt bad lying to his son. After all it was true Juvia would still love on Greige even if he hadn’t showered. But Gray was desperate. “I’m not so sure about that son. Mama doesn’t kiss or cuddle Papa when he’s stinky” Greige gasped in realization. Gray knew that the boy would catch on to what he was suggesting. For being only five years old, Greige was smart. “Papa is right. Greige should shower quick before Mama gets here! Or else Greige won’t get any cuddles or kisses!” Greige scurried down the hallway and into the bathroom. Gray would follow after him shortly. He just had to celebrate first. He threw his fist in the air and mouthed ‘Yes!’ and did a little victory dance. “Papa! What are you doing! We have to hurry mama is coming soon!” Greige shouted peeking his head out of the bathroom door. Gray nodded and hurried into the bathroom to help his son bathe.
Juvia walked inside the door to her shared home with Gray. She was carrying a grocery bag in one hand and a baby on her hip with the other. She placed the grocery bag on the kitchen table and put the baby girl in a high chair. She sat down at the table next to her baby and sighed. Shopping can be very tiring for Juvia especially when she has one of her little ones with her. “Well sweetheart, I think our shopping experience today was successful” The baby cooed at her mothers words. “Is that you honey?” Gray shouted from down the hallway “Yes darling it’s me!” Juvia shouted back. She smiled gently at the baby girl that was next to her. Gray walked into the kitchen toward the table. He gave his wife a peck on the lips and ruffled his two year olds hair. “Hello my favorite girls” Gray picked up the baby from the high chair and into his arms. “How was shopping with Vi?” Gray asked as he bounced the baby in his arms. “Better this time. I managed to calm her down before she had a tantrum” Gray smiled at the baby in his arms. “That’s good. Hopefully the store owners will lay off our asses for what happened last time” Gray’s face quickly changed from a happy smiled to an angry expression. The thought of what happened last time was enough to piss him off. Violet was only two years old and already showing signs of possessing Juvia’s water magic. The last time the Fullbusters went to the grocery store. Let’s just say Juvia may or may not have taken a candy Violet grabbed from the shelf away from her.. Violet began to weep and the store flooded. The store owners made a big deal out of the situation and were not very understanding. After all Violet was just a baby and it’s not her fault she can’t regulate her emotions. It didn’t help that the store owner wasn’t a mage. Despite this they payed for the damages and apologized.
“Hey, where’s Greige?” Juvia asked. “He’s gonna join us in a bit” Gray chuckled.
“Oh okay..” The water mage was confused as to what her husband was laughing about but didn’t question it. She got up and began to prepare for dinner.
It took Juvia 30 minutes to prepare dinner. Once it was done she had Gray set the table. As Juvia was about to start serving her husband. She realized somebody was still missing. “Greige! Dinners ready!” She called out to the boy. “Greige’s coming!” Greige shouted back. After about a minute, Greige entered the kitchen. He was dressed in an all white tux with a flower from Juvia’s garden in his hands. Juvia looked at the boy confused. Before she could ask him why he was dressed the way he was, He handed her the flower and spoke up. “Good evening Mama, Greige is pleased to make your acquaintance” Juvia fawned at Greige’s cuteness. ‘SO CUTE!!’ she thought. Gray paused his baby talk with his daughter and looked at the show going on in front of him. “MY LITTLE PRINCE! YOU LOOK SO DAPPER IN THAT SUIT~!!” Juvia said as she embraced Greige and kissed his forehead and cheeks repeatedly. Greige giggled as Juvia smothered him with kisses. Gray smiled at the pair. “Greige, Mama loves your outfit but why is Greige dressed so fancy?” Juvia asked Greige as ruffled his hair. “Because Papa said Mama won’t give Greige kisses or cuddles if Greige didn’t shower. Greige wanted to look nice so that Mama would give extra cuddles and kisses” Juvia turned her gaze over to Gray, whose attention was suddenly now on their baby girl. “Who’s Papa’s princess! You are!” Gray cooed at his baby girl. pretending as though he did not hear any of his wife and child’s conversation. “Oh? Papa told Greige that?” Juvia said. her eye twitching slightly as she looked at Gray who was still avoiding her gaze. Greige nodded confirming again. “Well that’s just not true Greige. Mama loves you even when you don’t want to shower. She’ll still give all the cuddles and kisses you want. Papa only said that because it is important to shower. If Greige wants to be big and strong like Mama and Papa one day, he has to stay healthy. Showers keep you healthy.” she smiled. her attention back on her son. “So Greige was correct. Greige will shower if it means he can be as strong as Mama and Papa! Because Greige Loves Mama and Papa!” Juvia beamed at her son’s words. She loves her baby boy, knowing he loves her just as much fills her heart with joy. “Mama can Greige ask you something?” “Of course, Greige can ask Mama whatever he wants. Mama will always answer” Greige glanced toward Gray who again was pretending as though he didn’t get caught manipulating his son to get him to shower. He focused his gaze back to his mother and spoke “Would mama still kiss papa if he was stinky and didn’t shower?” Juvia took a second to think about her response. Yet she knew just what to say. “No. Mama wouldn’t kiss Papa if he was stinky” Juvia’s said as Gray sulked in the corner with his baby girl. ‘Serves him right. how could he lie to our precious angel!’ Juvia thought. “But Mama loves Papa like Mama loves Greige, so why doesn’t Mama kiss Papa when Papa doesn’t shower?” “Well that’s because Papa knows better. Greige is little and is still learning. Juvia said as she glanced at Gray who looked at her with a smile on his face. she playfully rolled her eyes at him. “Greige understands, He wants to eat now please” Greige said as he walked to the table to join his father and little sister. Juvia followed after him sitting down next to Greige opposite of Gray. ‘I’m sorry’ Gray mouthed. Juvia glared at him and mouthed ‘It’s okay but we are talking about this later’ And so the Fullbusters ate their dinner. Greige talked about his day at school and what he and Nasha did together. Gray talked about the recent mission he had as he fed Violet. Juvia talked about how she found a new cook book and more seeds for her garden. Violet just cooed and babbled as the three spoke about their days.
Gray and Juvia tucked Greige in, they both gave him a kiss on the forehead and said their goodnights. Gray closed the door to Greige’s room as he and Juvia stepped out. They quickly peek their heads into their toddlers room to see that she was fast asleep. The pair walked to their shared room and began preparing for bed. All was calm and well. After doing her nightly routine, Juvia climbed into bed next to Gray. He extended his arms out and pulled her into his chest. Juvia sighed and relaxed instantly due to Gray’s touch. He kissed the top of her forehead and pulled his fingers through her long blue hair. “So you want to tell me why you’re lying to our Greige” Juvia asked. Gray haulted his movements. “Baby, you have to understand our boy is rebellious and doesn’t listen to a thing I say unless you’re around” He pleaded. Juvia wasn’t convinced.“Go on” “I had tried to persuade him with sweets but that’s all they gave him at school. He was so hyper and I did my best to think of the one thing he couldn’t refuse. That’s when I got an idea. I used you to get him to shower because I know he’d do anything for you. If showering meant he’d get extra kisses and cuddles Greige would do it all the time. Because he loves you.” Gray explained. “I didn’t tell him to put on his best vest or anything like that— that was all him. he was just so exited to impress you and he even got you a flower from the garden. So in the end he showered and you got to see just how much Greige loves his Mama” Juvia sighed. Gray did have a point. Although he did use her to his advantage, she got a cute little moment that she’s going to cherish forever out of it. “Okay, you’re forgiven. Next time I suggest telling something else that doesn’t involve me. You know he really wants to know more about your Ice magic. I bet if you promise to show him a cool magic trick that he’d shower in the blink of an eye” Gray pondered over it. “You’re right honey that’s great suggestion. I’ll do my best to persuade him with things that’ll benefit him too” And with that Gray pecked Juvia’s lips and the two drifted away into sleep.
