GW 2022-Day 5:Unwavering (Poetry)
These are the poems I have written for my one shot, Our Whole Lives. In the story, Gray decides to write to Juvia as his answer after the war.
Prepare to be amazed by his secret ability with words. 😂😏
________________
A Collection of Poetry (From Gray Fullbuster to Juvia Lockser)
I'm sorry that this sucks and doesn't compare at all with the romantic confessions you've read before.
I hope that you enjoy it anyways.
________________
Defenceless
You doubted my love so that left me with no other choice,
Ezra convinced me to do this, so let her know if you don't like it.
I'm not exactly the creative type but I'm trying to be the a romantic guy,
To have you call yourself mine makes me so proud I can't deny.
Still can't believe that you chose me, but you've always shown me,
That love requires no sense, as it pierces through every defence.
I remember you celebrate every anniversary, be it the first day or 413th,
So let me take you out for some caramade franks, down by the river bank,
Hopefully that will show you and everyone that I'm serious since I know you.
You need an answer and that's okay, this is why I'll give you these poems today,
I want you to understand that I'll always be here to hold your hand,
Through good and tough times, even when I'd rather hit rewind,
Like during that long mission when Carla had that horrifying vision.
Thankfully you're alright now, so I will try not to worry about it, somehow.
________________
Unconditional
You are constant rain and I fickle snow,
Unready to love I could not let go
Of fear and sorrow that I would lose you
But now I want to move on and choose you.
You won me over with a simple scarf,
A precious gift that opened up my heart.
Ur once told me that love is sacrifice;
For you I will break down those walls of ice,
And let myself be yours, no condition,
though to be deserving is my mission.
________________
Predictable
Opposites attracting in a predictable twist,
yet somehow I could not resist,
Your persistent love and affection.
We have an inexplicable connection,
There is no point in trying to deny
Not after I've been forced to watch you die.
Though I'm haunted by crippling fear,
I'll try to disregard it and just be here,
To love and support you however you need,
Hoping I'll never again have to watch you bleed.
________________
Much more
I never thought that
I could write anything, but
then I met you and
found out I can be much more,
than Fairy Tail's lost ice mage.
________________
Undone
I have always been,
too icy for my own good,
Closed to everyone,
Until that day, I met you.
You smiled and I came undone.
________________
BONUS!!
I also wrote a poem describing Gray and Juvia’s love story. 💙
________________
Unconventional
He had convinced himself he liked the cold,
While she spent years wanting to feel warm.
When they met, his heart was closed,
But she broke down those walls like a storm.
________________
He gave her the chance to see the sun,
and she reminded him of the beauty of ice.
Together they learned how to have fun,
But also the meaning of sacrifice.
________________
She helped him overcome the pain,
Of losing his parents and master,
While he chased away the rain,
That had made her life an endless disaster.
________________
One day their story would be told,
Of a man refusing to conform,
A woman eager to be bold,
And the everlasting love that was born.
________________
Though he rejected her once,
He gave his life for her twice
And even if it meant losing everyone
For him she was willing to pay any price.
________________
They were linked by a silver chain,
When an enemy managed to distract her,
For a moment they lost each other again,
But this deadly spell led to happiness ever after.

GW 2022-Day 5: Unwavering (Story)
I was in the mood for some poetry so came up with this amusing and endearing idea. Imagine if Gray had actually written something for her, Juvia would die from happiness. 😂
Happy New Year everyone! May 2023 be the most inspiring and exciting year yet! 💙
Title: Our Whole Lives
Summary: Prompted by Erza, Gray decided to write a collection of poetry as his answer to Juvia. Though there was no doubt in anyone’s mind about how he felt, he still didn’t believe he deserved to love and be loved by her. (Post-Alvarez) (includes minor GrayLu and GaJuvia Brotp)
Timeline: Alvarez Arc
Word Count: 2200
Link: Fanfiction.Net
Sneak Peek 1:
Gajeel sat at his usual table with Levy and Juvia. The three of them were chatting about the couple's latest mission when she spotted Gray approaching them.
A smile immediately lit up Juvia's face and she waved at the ice mage, who also smiled, though rather nervously.
Gajeel rolled his eyes. "What does he want?"
"Be nice." Levy warned.
Juvia stood just before Gray had reached the table. "Morning, darling. How did you sleep?"
"I slept alright, thanks."
Gajeel noticed he was holding something. An envelope. He wondered what that might be.
Juvia beamed. "Isn't it a lovely morning today?"
"Sure." There was no denying the ice mage's anxiousness. Gajeel didn't like that one bit. Narrowing his eyes, he inquired; "Is there a reason you're at the guild so early?"
"You're not usually up yet at this hour." Levy remarked.
"Well, I've been waking up a lot earlier recently." Gray told them, and the way he glanced softly at Juvia, who smiled knowingly, left no doubt in Gajeel's mind of the reason why.
"I see." Levy grinned.
"Hey, do you think I could speak to you?" The ice mage took Juvia's hand.
"About what?" Gajeel inquired, but was ignored.
"Of course." She nodded and let him take her away from the table, towards the entrance to the guild hall.
Before they were too far, Gajeel warned. "You better not disappoint me, Fullbuster."
Gray stopped and looked at him, his expression showing a strong resolve. "I won't."
Sneak Peek 2:
Juvia let him guide her outside the guild, towards the river. Once they stood by its edge, Gray nervously scratched his throat.
"So, I have something for you."
Her eyes were drawn to his free hand where he held an envelope. Curiosity bubbled inside her. "What is it?"
"Do you remember when we spoke before the war?"
"Of course." Heart racing, Juvia started to piece together where this was going. Could this be the moment she had always dreamed of?
"I promised you that I would give my answer once the war was over." Gray remarked, squeezing her hand as he gazed at her determinedly.
"Yes, but there is no rush." Juvia smiled gently.
"I've kept you waiting long enough." He gave her the envelope and Juvia let go of his hand to hold it. Something told her this was the most precious thing he had ever given her.
"Erza suggested I could write to you." Gray explained. "I know how much you enjoy reading, so I tried my best."
"Thank you." Juvia was at a loss on what to say. This was so unexpected; nothing like she had imagined. She felt overwhelmed but also ecstatic knowing what awaited inside the envelope.
"Well, I'll let you be." With one last nervous look, Gray left her. Her gaze followed him as he disappeared inside the guild. Then, once he was gone, her attention returned to the envelope.
Juvia sat on the grass, opened it and took out the carefully folded piece of paper. She began to read, and as she carried on, her heart swelled with adoration and pride.
