Meant To Be (Gruvia Fanfic)

Chapter 2: The Curse of The Ruby

OMERGERD!!! I literally cried writing this part! My keyboard's probably broken by now. Anyways, enjoy this emotional chapter!

(Juvia POV)

I ran as fast as I could. As I ran farther and farther from Gray-sama, my heart started to get heavier and heavier. My damp eyes were about to explode in a waterfall. My head was pounding and my stomach ached. My feet were starting to drag and later did I know, I tripped over the wet grass. A thunderstorm appeared all around town.

In the corner of my eye, I could see mothers running with their children, hustling to get to their houses. Merchants were cursing at the rain because it destroyed most of their products. This feeling was quite familiar I thought I would never experience. It was déjà vu all over again.

I was like this when I was still in the dark guild Phantom Lord. I was stubborn to believe Master Jose was helping me overcome my fear. I was captivated by his evil power until Gray-sama came in and...No, this was too much for me. I didn't want to hurt anyone from my storm of depression.

I sniffled and sat down on a wet bench. It made my butt shiver but nothing was colder than hearing Gray-sama's words. I was now unsure if he meant it or not. He sounded serious but he didn't sound like Gray-sama. If I know that, why am I raining!?

I was about to move until an umbrella came over me. I looked up and saw a familiar face. His white spiky hair was still swept over at one side.

"I knew it was you," He said with a smirk. I sighed and looked down.

"Juvia was looking for you before, Lyon-sama," I sniffled. He came around and sat next to me, wrapping a coat around me.

"I know. I already said Happy Birthday to him," I still remember what had happened making my eyes watery again.

"J-Juvia..." I tried to say, holding back the tears. Lyon pushed back my wet hair exposing my wet face.

"It's okay. I know what happened," My heart dropped. I clenched the wrecked present. I wanted to scream and punch him. I didn't know what was going on with me. My emotions were taking control. Instead of smashing his head open, I collapsed into his arms, crying my heart out.

"LYON-SAMA!!" I wailed burying my face into his blue high collared tunic. My cold damp body didn't seem to bother him as he wrapped his left arm around me.

"Juvia. It's okay to let go. This rain of yours is not your fault." He consoled. My tears overflowed faster than the speed of light. I could hear lightning striking down. I was afraid of crying too much, scaring away Lyon, but he didn't make a move.

(Gray's POV)

My first instinct would be to find Juvia. But no matter what, I'll still be possessed by this goddamn gem. So, I just walked back to the guild, thinking about her and what I'd done. Everyone noticed when I was gone, well not everyone. Natsu and Cana REALLY hit it hard with the alcohol and most of my comrades too, sleeping soundly like babies. Mirajane and Erza were at the back throwing away the decorations. When they spotted me, it left a big lump in my throat.

"Oh. Looks like you're back, Gray...." Erza's cold eyes pierced through my soul. I tried my best to stretch a smile. Mirajane looked back and smiled like she usually does.

"Don't worry Gray. We understand how your birthday bothers you," she answered. Okay gem. What are you going to say now?

"No. I'm sorry. I was out of it today. I just came back from a job and it screwed me up," I said bluntly. I was shocked. Wait, I can speak normally now? Before I was just-
