Gavia

An: we'll I've had a very strange over enthusiastic shipping obsession over these two for a while now. And there are so few Fics about these two! I mean like everytime I search up Gajeel x Juvia it's Gruvia! And I kinda ship that but GAVIA! And Gajeel is just the overprotective friend. I'm going to try and write my own now. Hope you like it.

Gajeel was napping on his couch when he heard a loud knock on his door. He opened one eye asp he smelled a familiar scent. The door unlocked and Juvia walked in. She was soaked and looked miserable. Gajeel stood up as she dried herself. He opened his arm as she hugged him tightly. It was a regular occurrence for Juvia to show up like this. It always had to do with-

"Gray-Sama... He turned me down again! Gajeel-kun... Juvia made him cookies and... He told Juvia was... Annoying him. Is Juvia that much of a bother?" She sobbed into his check and Gajeel sighed. He patted her head gently and tried to soothe the crying water Mage.

"Juvia... Why don't you just give up on him. For real this time? Do you want me to go kick his ass." Gajeel was slowly getting used to comforting her, but the first time she showed up crying was the most awkward thing in his life. He wasn't use to being... Comforting. He could offer to kick the ice strippers ass anytime but comforting her because of the same reason everytime was getting on his nerves.

"Juvia can't Gajeel-kun! Gray-Sama was the only one who showed anything towards me..." Gajeel's anger started to flare up. What was he doing right now? Wasn't he caring for her all the time now? He admitted before they joined Fairy Tail he wasn't as affectionate but that just wasn't his strong point. They were close friends before but lately Gajeel was starting to feel strange towards Juvia. He didn't like hugging people but he didn't mind hugging Juvia. Although he could do without the tears soaking into his clothes. Lately he'd been itching to kick Gray's ass more than usual. It annoyed him how Juvia couldn't stop talking about that guy.

"He's hurt you over and over! When are you going to realize he doesn't like you!" Gajeel let his anger slip for a second and he regretted it. "Via I'm sorry." Juvia had pushed him away. She wiped at her eyes. They were swollen and her gaze was filled with hurt. Gajeel wanted to punch himself for making her feel even worse.

"Gajeel doesn't understand how Juvia feels! Isn't everything with Levy going great?! Good for you! Sorry that Juvia is such a pain in the ass!" Gajeel was getting annoyed that she kept accusing him of not understanding. Why did she like the guy so much anyways? He treated her like shit, he treated her way better. Why didn't she see that he cared for her!

"I don't even like Levy like that! Were just friends!"

"I guess you guys are better friends than us!" Juvia curled her hands into fists. "Gajeel spends a lot of time with her now! Gajeel doesn't have time for Juvia! Sorry Juvia is in your way!"

"How many times do I have to tell you I am not in love with her!" Even when I'm with her I'm thinking of you. He couldn't help but watch Juvia when they were at the guild. She was always chasing after the idiot and his... Jealousy? Was starting to build. Levy just reminded Gajeel of the rain woman. "Gray is a fucking idiot! Forget about him already! You can find someone else!"

"No one cares about Juvia! Not even Gajeel now!" They were both yelling now. "Do you know how lonely Juvia is?" Tears started streaming down her face again. Gajeel clenched his fists.

"You have me! Is that not enough? Why him? I can take care of you. I care about you too. Because..." Gajeel wasn't sure why he was so against Juvia being with Gray. He also wasn't sure how he felt about her at the moment.

"Because?" Juvia was starting to calm down. Gajeel glanced at the floor nervously. He felt this tight feeling in his chest.

"I don't know... I just care about you a lot Via..."

"Juvia is sorry she upset Gajeel... I mean Gajeel-kun..." Gajeel shook his head,

"Just drop the the kun already Via."

"You aren't... Upset anymore Gajeel." Gajeel let out a sigh. And shook his head he looked in her eyes and found that he could feel her breath. Gajeel wasn't sure what this feeling in his chest was but he found himself slowly leaning in.
