Consequences

Chapter 1

"Your body is mine."

Juvia's heart leapt in her throat. Despite being pretty drunk, she was 100% sure that she'd heard him correctly. Gray had finally admitted he had feelings for her. Sure, it wasn't as great as "I love you" but he was claiming her! The Water Wizard knew it must have taken a lot of serious consideration before he'd been able to make even that much of a confession.

Juvia climbed to her feet and took a step towards Gray. She wanted to leap into his arms, but she was afraid if she got too excited, she'd scare him and ruin everything. "Does Gray-sama mean that?"

"Yeah... obviously." His cheeks were still pink when he smirked at her. "I'm kind of surprised you haven't pounced me yet."

That did it! Juvia's shoddy self-control and the alcohol running through her veins allowed her to throw caution to the wind. She flung herself into Gray's waiting arms. That was when she realized that they were barely clothed, him just in briefs and her in just a skirt and bra. She could feel his muscles tense as he wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her tight.

She'd been held in his arms before but never quite like this. Juvia looked up at his face and met his eyes. It was the first time she saw something new in his expression. It was a look the Water Wizard had always wanted to see, the one that wanted more. Gray's expression was full of desire, or lust, or whatever. She was tipsy and happy, so the details didn't matter.

She'd been waiting for that moment for so long that it was the most natural thing in the world to tilt her head back and accept his kiss. It was tentative and nervous. It occurred to Juvia that it was probably his first kiss and that felt incredibly sweet.

Gray and Juvia lost themselves in the moment. Alcohol did a good job of wiping away their nerves and inhibitions, leaving them free to explore all the places they'd only ever dreamed of. His hands roamed over her hips, cupped her breast, grabbed her ass as their tongues tasted each other freely. Juvia's fingers clung to his back, ran through his hair, wrapped tightly around his neck, pulling him closer.

Gray's lips left hers to leave a trail of kisses along her neck, causing Juvia to melt into him. Her body pressed seductively to his, her leg grinding against him, causing his body to react and that was going to be a problem on a city street. When Juvia felt his growing erection against her thigh, she spoke up.

"Gray-sama... we — should probably — go somewhere — else." A new onslaught of delicious kisses halted her words.

It almost seemed reluctant when the Ice Devil Slayer pulled away to look into her eyes. They might be drunk, but they weren't out of their heads and she understood the look in his eyes. Gray was checking to make sure they were on the same page. He should have known she would have followed him anywhere, but he still checked. After he was happy with what he saw in her eyes, the black-haired man made his decision and nodded his head. "Okay."

Gray took Juvia by the hand and led her down the road. Although her swollen lips were sad to be abandoned, the sense of anticipation growing in the pit of her stomach had the Water Wizard practically skipping at his side. Was this actually happening?! This was actually happening!

They'd gone a few blocks when Juvia realized they weren't headed to either of their dorms. "Gray-sama. Where are we going?"

"We can't go to the dorms. If they catch us, we'll be paying the fine for the next ten years," He looked over his shoulder at her with a grin, causing Juvia to laugh out loud.

"That's true. ... But if we can't go home, where are we going?"

"Can you keep a secret?"

In retrospect, there was no way Gray and Juvia would have picked their chosen venue if they'd been sober and thinking clearly, but they weren't. They were giddy, drunk, horny and ready to bust down a few of the emotional walls that had stood in their way for far too long.

"Gray-sama... this is…"

Juvia was shocked at first, but then she giggled and then she guffawed. She was laughing so loudly that Gray thought she might blow their plan, so he silenced her with a kiss. It worked remarkably well.

Still intertwined, trying to make out and climb stairs at the same time, they finally got to the door they needed. Gray used a bit of magic to make the familiar key, got the door opened and pulled Juvia inside, slamming the door behind them.

They were in Lucy's apartment.

When they left, the party had still been going strong and Lucy was the guest of honor so there was no way Lucy, Natsu or Happy would be home anytime soon. It was the safest place to sneak away and have their fun. They both knew they'd never touch Lucy's bed or couch. They weren't going to make it that far into the room anyway.

As soon as the door was closed, Gray was on Juvia. Once he'd decided that she was what he wanted, the Devil Slayer was done being tsundere or playing hard to get. He wanted Juvia… badly.

Juvia was full of wild abandon. Perhaps if she'd been completely clearheaded, it could have been more romantic or they could have explored more but, instead, the night was full of unbridled passion. The bluenette leapt into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist. She left a trail of kisses along his neck and chest as her body rubbed against his obvious need.

Gray took a step forward, slamming Juvia up against the wall. Their bodies were pressed together as lips and hands roamed. Moans and gasps and the sounds of heavy breathing filled the room until Juvia was begging for more.

"Gray-sama…" She whispered his name as a plea, conveying without words, how badly she needed him.

His answering groan of desire was quickly followed with action. He held her tight, legs still wrapped around his middle, and carried her to the plush carpet on the floor. As soon as they were down, their remaining garments were discarded, and Gray got the chance to see all of Juvia for the first time. She was gorgeous but passions were too high to linger.

Although Gray had never actually done it before, he knew how it went and Juvia helped with the rest. He moved above her and kissed her lips tightly. He only hesitated because he was afraid of hurting her but that was where Juvia came in. She wrapped her legs around him once more and pulled him to her, assisting in driving their bodies together. After that, instinct took over, and they found their rhythm.

Gray's fingers wound into her long hair as he drove into her. Juvia's arms were wrapped tightly around his neck, holding him closer. Their kisses continued until they had to break away as they moved closer to climax. By the time they finished nearly together, the noises in the room were wonderfully erotic, and when the final throes of passion passed, Gray collapsed beside Juvia.

Ice Devil Slayer and Water Wizard laid there, side by side, on a soft rug on the floor of Lucy's apartment, gasping for breath and coming to terms with what had just happened. Gray chuckled first. Then Juvia chuckled. Then they were both laughing. They were a little tipsy, a little delirious, a little drunk of love. Whatever. They were happy, and they felt good.

They stayed there for a while, laughing and making small talk but after about 20 minutes, Juvia started to get nervous. "We should probably get going before we get caught."

Gray glanced over at her and for just a second, Juvia could have sworn that he looked a little sad about that. But the moment passed quickly and a second later he was smiling. "You're probably right."

They put on the very few clothes they'd come with, tried to straighten anything they'd disturbed and snuck out of Lucy's place without anybody knowing.

"I'll walk you home." Gray offered with a smile.

"Y-you don't have to."

"But I want to, okay?" He looked at her so seriously that it made her heart skip a beat.

Juvia felt a blush spread across her cheeks. "Thank you."

On the way home, they were both still giggling like teenagers, telling silly stories and stealing little kisses when there was no one else on the road. It was just fun. Juvia couldn't remember a time she'd felt so relaxed and happy as she did on that walk to Fairy Hills.

It wasn't until they got to the front door of the girl's dorm that Gray took Juvia's hand and turned her around to face him. "Wait. There's something I need to tell you."

That made Juvia stop dead in her tracks. She had no idea what was coming, but she just had a bad feeling. "O-okay…"

"It's nothing terrible," he promised quickly. "It's just... we're leaving on the 100 Year Quest tomorrow morning and we'll be gone for a while. But I promise I'll come back. When I do, let's figure all of this out, okay?" He said that last part with a blush, gesturing between them.

Gray was talking about their relationship! When he gets back, he wants to figure things out?! Juvia's heart soared. Everything she'd ever wanted was beginning to come true, and it took real effort not to cry happy tears. Instead, the Water Wizard smiled brightly and nodded. "Juvia thinks that sounds great."

They stood there awkwardly for a long while. Both knew it was time for the night to end but neither wanted to go. Finally, Gray broke the silence. "So... I should go…"

"Oh! ... umm... yeah." Juvia stammered. "Well… Be careful, Gray-sama."

"Of course!" He answered with a confident smile before leaning forward to give her a quick kiss on the lips. "We'll talk when I get home."

"It's a promise."

Gray waited until Juvia got inside before he left. His whole mind, body and soul was still amazed about everything that had happened in the last couple of hours. It was all new and exciting but there was more to it than that. The Ice Devil Slayer was certain that he really was in love with Juvia Lockser.

Juvia ran up the stairs and into her room before anyone could stop her. She jumped onto her bed, grabbed her large Gray plushie and hugged it tightly to her chest. Her mind was running a million miles a minute. Had all of that just happened?!

OH MY GOD!

If Juvia didn't have some telltale proof of their fun, even she might not believe it. She was on Cloud 9. Gray liked her, they'd had sex and he'd promised to figure things out when he got home. It was amazing!

Even if Gray was going to be gone for a while, she had something to look forward to. And to hold her over, she had some fantastic memories.

The next afternoon, Team Natsu was traveling towards the first step of the 100 Year Quest. For most of the morning, Natsu had been watching Gray with a weird look on his face. When he finally approached the Ice Devil Slayer, Natsu looked around to make sure no one else was around and then asked the question that was clearly bothering him.

"Hey, Gray. What were you and Juvia doing at Lucy's apartment last night? Your smell was all ove—"

Gray panicked, turned Natsu into ice and dragged him into the woods. By the time the Fire Dragon Slayer defrosted himself, Natsu looked irritated, but Gray spoke up before he could.

"Natsu, I'll buy all the food for you and Happy while we're on this job if you forget all about that!" There was true panic in Gray's eyes that both amused and intrigued the sakura-haired man.

"But, what-"

"Natsu!" Gray shouted his best friend's name, cutting off his words. "I'm begging you, man. ... Just let it go."

Natsu watched him for a long time. He wanted to push it, having no idea what had actually happened. All his ideas were way off the mark. But the promise of free food was too good an offer to pass up. "You'll buy all the food for the entire trip?"

"YES!" Gray swore.

It was tough but Natsu finally gave in with a sigh. "Fine. ... I don't know anything."

That was the end of that and a few minutes later, the guys caught back up. Little did they know, Wendy had overheard everything, and she had an embarrassing suspicious what may have happened. However, it wasn't her business, so the little Dragon Slayer did her best to push it from her mind.
