…At this point we all know I suck at trying to meet self-set deadlines. Whatever, I'm still determined to write for these prompts. So here you go~

Gruvia week day 4: First

"A-are you sure Juvia can stay here tonight Gray-sama? It's such short notice, and…" she allowed herself to trail off as she fidgeted with the hem of her dress.

"Of course. That party lasted a lot longer than I expected, and your place is pretty far away. I'm dead tired, so I'd rather not go all the way out there to take you home, but I sure as hell can't let you go on your own at this time of night. So the best option is for you to just spend the night here."

"Juvia hates to impose though, and this is so unplanned-"

Gray chuckled, ceasing her protests. "Not everything needs to be planned, Juvia." He reminded her gently. "Besides, I really don't mind."

He moved past her and went towards his room, indicating for Juvia to follow. "C'mon, we can share my bed, and I'll get you something to wear for now." He said, throwing a backwards glance at Juvia, who quickly trailed after him.

"N-no, Juvia will take the couch!" she said as she watched Gray dig through a drawer and fish out a random t-shirt.

"This should do." He muttered, tossing it to the flustered Juvia. She caught it and fumbled with it for a moment before looking back at Gray. "And no Juvia, I can't let you take the couch. If anyone's taking the couch, I will."

"No, Juvia can't let you do that!"

"Well then I guess we'll have to stick to our original plan and share the bed."

Juvia's face reddened again and she shifted her eyes to the t-shirt in her hands. "W-well it's just that… Cana-san said that-"

His eyes widened slightly in realization and a light blush dusted his face. "Hey, don't listen to everything Cana tells you! Nothing like that is gonna happen tonight! Geez…"

"Oh… Ok then…" Juvia said softly. He shook his head, and she stifled a giggle.

"Just go get dressed so we can go to sleep. And try hanging out with Lucy or Levy for a change, or anyone else that won't fill your head with that stuff, alright?" he said quickly, before turning away. Juvia giggled again, amused at how uncharacteristically flustered her boyfriend was getting.

She made her way to the bathroom and quickly changed into the baggy shirt she had been given before stepping back into the room. Gray was already in the bed, shirtless as usual, with his eyes closed.

"Took you long enough." He muttered teasingly before opening his eyes. He stopped short when he saw Juvia. The shirt he had given was long enough that it reached a little past her mid-thigh, but revealed just enough that it prompted Gray to stare at her legs. Damn how he loved those legs.

"Gray-sama?" Juvia asked, looking at him curiously. "Is something wrong?"

His gaze quickly snapped up. "Nope, nothing at all."

"Ok then." She grinned and gingerly settled beside him on the bed, pulling the sheets over them both before finding a comfortable position near the edge of the bed. "Good night Gray-sama."

Gray frowned slightly. "You don't need to sleep that close to the edge you know." He muttered, hooking his arm around her waist and pulling her to his chest. Even though it was too dark to see it, he could feel the heat rise in Juvia's face and he smirked. "Night, Juvia."

Juvia smiled in contentment and tucked her head into his shoulder sleepily. She fluttered her eyes before letting out a quiet yawn and murmuring drowsily, "Good night Gray…"
