Keeping Connected

Juvia was paced around her room in her pyjama set, biting her lip as she glanced at the clock. One thing Juvia admitted was she wasn’t particularly great at being patient. Although she was sure the guild might argue differently.

‘I’d imagined he’d be finished by now, right?’ she thought to herself.

All day she had been waiting for the clock to turn to 7pm, perfectly timing her entire day so she’d be fed, showered and ready for that exact time. But currently it was 5 past, and she just couldn’t keep still.

She glanced at the lacrima phone lying on her bed and turned her head away, knowing however long she looked at the phone, it wasn’t going to make him call any sooner.

She sighed and wriggled her toes in her fluffy cream carpet she was pacing upon, thinking of the reasons why he was late calling, but her thoughts were interrupted by a jiggle going off and the lacrima screen lighting up.

She almost pounced on the thing, but managed to keep hold of her nerves and wait for the second jiggle before answering. She couldn’t make out that she had been waiting all day for the thing to ring, although that’s exactly what he would assume she’d been doing.

‘Hello?’ She said in a small voice. She’d never owned a personal lacrima before as she never thought of much use for it, but the last time Team Natsu had magically appeared once again in their guild, Gray had gotten her one before they had to leave again. Saying something about not knowing how long this mission will go on for, or when they next might be back for a break, and it’d be good for them to keep in touch for the time in between.

‘Hey’, a husky voice replied back.

Juvia screamed internally. She didn’t realise how much she missed his voice and why it had to sound so much sexier over lacrima.

‘Hi’ she breathed. It was actually working. Gray was mavis knows where across the world, but now he was basically right in Juvia’s ear, the thought almost making her giggle.

‘Is that all you’re going to say?’ Gray replied with a chuckle.

Juvia started to panic, ‘ummmmm…’. With her excitement taking all her attention, no words or conversational ideas were forming in her mind.

Gray laughed again at the usual whirlwind that lived in that girl’s head. ‘It’s all right, so how was your day?’

Her day? What did she do apart from prepare for this call? She couldn’t tell him that! ‘Ah it was fine thankyou Gray-sama, just a usual day at the guild really. How was yours?

‘Ah it was a busy one. We left the map with Natsu for a split second and somehow ended up in a small village in the complete opposite way, but for the most part it’s been fine.’

Juvia chuckled at the tale of her hectic friends, ‘So a typical day for you then as well.’ she said with a smile. ‘Do you know your plan for your next location?’

‘Hmmmm, I think Erza has managed to find us back onto the right path, then onto the next dragon location really. Sorry I can’t go into too much detail about the mission…’

Juvia responded with a hmmm. She sat back on her heels on her bed, cuddling her gray sama love pillow she always kept there.

‘Although you’d love it at this place we’ve ended up at, I think there’s some festival going on around the main castle walls. We’ll have to try and find this place again and join in next time.’

Juvia's heart swelled, she was still getting used to these odd moments for Gray when he planned their ‘not-date’ dates, whether he realised it or not. ‘I’d really like that Gray-sama’.

There were some bickering voices in the back, and Gray let out a slightly irritated sigh. ‘Looks like I better get back to the group, sorry we didn’t get to talk for long’.

‘No worries Gray-sama, it was nice to hear your voice’.

‘...yours too, and… I hope getting you the lacrima wasn’t too strange. I just thought that even when we’re apart…’

‘Our hearts will always be connected!’ Juvia finished triumphantly.

“Sure Juvia.’ Gray said with a low laugh. That wasn’t exactly what he was going to say, but it seemed to please her. ‘Talk soon, cya.’

‘Bye Gray-sama!’

The line disconnected to Juvia’s dismay, but she rolled onto her back and squealed again, legs wiggling in the air. She suddenly froze to make sure the line was fully disconnected, and seeing the screen blank she carried on her mini celebration.

Juvia was curious how often Gray would end up calling her, but knowing he had found them a way to communicate when they were apart filled her with joy and she was excited to see what else will change between them in the future.

Juvia was sulking by the Fairy Tail bar, resting her sleepless head on the table, arms stretched in front of her with her hands dangling at the edge. Macao was sitting adjacent from her, sipping his beer, watching her with his eyebrow raised.

"Missing him a lot, aren't ya Juvia?" He teased, taking another huge gulp. He almost choked halfway through when he heard the enticing moan of the half-awaken bluenette.

"Juvia always feels uneasy whenever Gray-sama is out. Anything could happen to him out there," She whimpered, staring at her reflection in a empty wine glass. Macao laughed uncontrollably. If she wasn't as exhausted worrying about her beloved, she would've socked the shit out of him.

"He'll be alright. This is Gray we're talking about," He reassured.

"Macao's right," Mira interjected, taking the wine glass to clean it. "I understand that you're worried because he's Gray... but now, he has a reason to be careful," She grinned. Juvia flushed when she stared at her. "Although it's nice to know that you always want what's best for him"

Juvia adjusted her posture and smiled back at her. "Thank you Mira-san, Macao-kun. Juvia has a lot of faith in him, I'm sure he'll come back soon with everyone," As if the universe answered her, Natsu's powerful kick blasted through the double doors at the entrance of the guild hall. With the iconic grin of his, Juvia had never felt more relieved to see the love of her life beside him.

"WE'RE HOOOMMMEEE!" Natsu hollered. The guild was lively once again, especially when Juvia reached for her beloved. Gray saw her at the corner of his eye, already accustomed to his Juvia-radar.

"GRAY-SAMA!" She squealed with her goofy heart-shaped eyes and outstretched arms ready to embrace him.

"Juvia!" He said excitedly responded with no intention of resisting her hug attack. This time, her embrace was a bit stronger than he had anticipated. "Woah there," he chuckled.

"You aren't injured in any way, are you? Juvia will examine you thoroughly! Come now, get undressed!" She teased, leaving no wiggle room to move around.

"I'm fine," He simply responded, staring at her lovingly. He recalled the many Juvia's he encountered in his recent adventures, and in Hakune's illusions and although each of one them was unique and very Juvia, he knew in his heart that there was only one he wanted to fight for. Getting to feel her warmth again washed away all of his worries. He was consumed by his overwhelming thoughts that he didn't realize he was being dragged to one of the nearby tables. He noticed that Juvia had prepared something for him. "Have you been doing good?"

Juvia quickly spun around showing her handmade bouquet of mini Grays. "Juvia was oh, so very worried, so she made all of these Gray-sama dolls!" She answered cheerfully.

"R-Right..."

She switched to overdrive once again, showering him with all of her love since they haven't seen each other for a while. As much as Juvia did not want him to leave, it has become routine. Gray would leave with the team without a word about who they were fighting and what they were up against, and then arrive back home with bandages, smiling brightly because Fairy Tail prevailed once again. Because she only had rare moments with him, she decided to optimize every encounter before he left once again.

"Juvia had anticipated your arrival ever since you vanished to Edolas! So, I planned an intricate date plan for the week!" She pulled out a big poster out of nowhere and slammed in on the table to get his attention. "Juvia knows how picky Gray-sama can be, so I made sure that we have a lot of options! We can go to the water park, have dinner on a balcony, go on a picnic-" Her enthuasiasm was put to a halt, when she glanced at him. Her body froze and her heart fell when she saw her beloved, resting his chin on his hand, looking at her with endearing eyes and a smile that was so rare to be seen on his stern face. She felt anxious and confused. Usually, she expected him to look irritated, finding any way to digress. But the way he acted at this moment, it caught her off guard.

"Is something wrong?" He asked.

"J-Juvia is um...." She stuttered, trying to process this sudden change. "Gray-sama... the way you're looking at Juvia... why are you so-"

"Happy to see you?" He finished. Her eyes widened, face flushed. He chuckled at her reaction. "And what if I am?" He asked in a softer tone, his eyes still locked on hers. She bit her lip, trembling at how straight forward he was. Eventually, she averted his gaze, staring at her hands fumbling with her dress.

"T-Then.... that makes Juvia very happy too.." She muttered, too embarrassed to look at him again. His hand came into view, gently bringing her hands to the table, rubbing his thumb softly on her palms.

"Let's have that dinner on the balcony tonight," She immediately looked at him again, competely shocked.

"R-Really? T-Tonight?" He nodded, getting up and lightly patting her hat.

"I have to tell you something important. Something I wanted to tell you for a very long time," He tried so hard to contain himself as she looked at him in awe. "How does 8pm sound?"

Juvia stood up, second guessing why she did it so affirmatively. "8pm is perfect Gray-sama!" She shouted unintentionally which she immediately regreted when she felt everyone's gaze. Gray blushed in embarrassment clearing his throat.

"I'll see you tonight then," He muttered, walking out of the guild to prep himself. Juvia on the other hand, sat back down staring at her poster on the table. Suddenly, Lucy, Wendy, Evergreen, and Levy appeared hovering over her.

"Oh my god Juvia, did I overhear you guys correctly?" Lucy began.

"I can't believe that he agreed to go on a date with you! It's about time," Levy said, nudging Juvia's arm who was still processing everything.

"You were so head on before he dropped that on you huh, Juvs? You really do love him," She lightly teased.

"Gray-sama really does mean a lot to me...." She answered, clutching her heart.

"It sounds like you're unsure about going with him tonight, Juvia-san..." Wendy said.

"Juvia is scared... I don't know what he's going to say... and how Juvia is going to handle it-"

"If Gray wants to spend time with you privately, it sounds like he wants to tell you something important " Lucy interrupted before she continued down the rabbit hole of her whirring thoughts.

"He did say that..."

"Then don't worry too much. Embrace it! We're right here with you," The girls cheered. Juvia felt more at ease now, and gave them a smile.

Gray took a breather outside, surprised that he just asked her out on a date. He leaned his back against outside walls of the guild, feeling his his heart throbbing. He didn't know how he was going to tell her everything, how to pour out his feelings towards her, and how much he was holding back. But, he knew that deep down in his soul, he loved her so much, and he would do anything and everything for her. So, if he was going to confess, underneath the starry night sky, with her and her alone, then that is what he will do.
