Finals week, aka hell week was absolute torture.

Gray and his friends spent every free minute outside the university at the library. Meeting up with Juvia alone that week was even harder. They saw each other in the afternoons at the library to study together and sometimes Gray stopped by the diner to see her.

By the end of the week, they had just two finals to go before they were free to enjoy summer vacation. Gray drove Juvia back to his apartment from the library, both carrying some heavy books in their backpacks.

"I can't believe we are almost done." He said, opening the door so she could get inside.

"Juvia is exhausted." The blunette dropped her heavy backpack by his door and Gray did the same. "With her shifts at the diner, she has to study when she gets home to make up to it."

Gray frowned. Juvia, most nights, arrived home after midnight. "And when do you sleep, exactly?"

The blunette snorted and took off her coat. "Sleep, now that's funny. We are in college, Gray-sama. We don't sleep, especially during finals."

"Well, you need to rest."

"Two more days and Juvia can rest." She sighed, a hand on the back of her neck and Gray could see she was about to drop, but tried to get the backpack to retrieve the books she needed to study. "We should set up on the dinner table, Juvia guesses."

"We just spent the whole afternoon studying at the library." He pointed out, stepping in front of her when she tried to get the backpack. "How about we get two hours of not thinking about finals?" She opened her mouth to argue, but Gray beat her to the punch. "I quizzed you before we left the library and you got all the right answers. You'll do alright tomorrow."

"Juvia has to keep her grades if she wants to keep her scholarship." She told him. "I-I can't let my grades slip or-"

"And you won't." Gray raised an eyebrow and stepped closer to his girlfriend. "You are at the top of every class, you know everything for tomorrow's exam. You can afford to relax for a couple of hours. You need to sleep too, especially since I know you study when you arrive from work."

She sighed. "I really shouldn't."

Noticing she was tempted, Gray stepped closer, put his hands on her hips and tried something she couldn't resist. "And, well... I've been feeling neglected, you know?" He shrugged.

"Oh?" Juvia was doubtful. "Juvia doesn't think she has neglected you for a second since we met."

"Maybe that's why I felt this way the past few days." His hands went from her hips to her buttocks and Juvia knew exactly where he was going with it.

"Is that so?" She put her hands on his shoulders. "How do you propose Juvia rectifies that awful mistake?"

The corners of Gray's lips curled up a bit. "I think you'll find of a way."

"Poor Gray-sama," Juvia cupped his face, bringing him closer so she could give him a peck on the lips "being put aside for a week so we could study. Bad Juvia." Gray rolled his eyes but went willingly when she grabbed his hand and led him to his bedroom. "Juvia thinks she might be able to give you a couple of hours."

He snorted. "How charitable of you."

Juvia smiled and pulled him down to a kiss, they finally arrived in his bedroom when Juvia pulled his shirt and they had to stop so Gray could raise his arms to take it off completely while Juvia kicked off her shoes and unbuttoned her jeans, pushing it down. Gray unbuckled his belt by the time her pants were off and then she pulled him down to kiss him again.

Without breaking the kiss, Gray's arms circled her, bringing her closer while he kicked his sneakers off. The moment he was done, Gray pushed her towards his bed and lied her down, his body covering hers.

"Is Juvia forgiven?" She asked when Gray started to kiss and nib at her neck, her hands between them, unbuttoning his pants.

"Not yet. Going in the right direction, though." Gray kissed her lips again while his hand slipped under her panties and Juvia gasped into their kiss when Gray's fingers started to touch her slowly until she was wet enough so he could slip a finger inside her.

It didn't take long for Juvia to be moving her hips when Gray inserted another finger and his palm rubbed on her clit with every move, his fingers curling inside her the most amazing ways while Juvia hung onto him, offering him small moans. Gray had pushed down the collar of her t-shirt and her bra so he could get access to her breast.

"Gray-sama." Juvia breathed, a hand between them, inside his underwear, touching him. She needed him to take off the rest of their clothes. It had been ten days since the last time they were together that way and it was clear both of them had missed greatly.

Neglected indeed, both of them.

"Gray-sama." Juvia said again, body arching, the nipple Gray was nibbling, slipped away from him so Juvia got the chance to put her hands on his face to make him look at her. He always looked so handsome when they were being intimate, eyes always intense, dark and absolutely wild. She couldn't help it but to pull him for a quick kiss, biting his lower lip in the process. The moan he gave her turned her insides into jelly. "Clothes off. Condom."

It took him a second to understand her but he nodded, gave her a peck on the lips before he got up from the bed to take off his pants and underwear. Juvia lost no time and took off her shirt, bra and panties. She saw Gray get a condom from his bedside table and she bit her lower lip watching him rip the package with his teeth and rolled the condom on himself.

She watched him go to the end of the bed and laughed when Gray pulled her by legs so she had her bottom on the edge of the bed and her stomach got filled with butterflies when she saw Gray was smiling because of her laughter. They were about to have sex, but what made her feel greater was the fact he was happy with her.

Gray kissed her, a hand on her breast; Juvia's legs were wrapped around his waist while his shaft slid over her sex. Juvia was waiting for him to slid inside when he surprised her by saying: "Turn around."

Juvia blinked, confused for a moment. "What?"

"Hands and knees, Juvia." With a last kiss, Gray put his hands on her hips and gently turned her around. Juvia wasn't stranger to the position but they hadn't had sex that way yet, it wasn't a favorite of hers – she preferred to see her lover's face – but she knew she would enjoy it with him.

He adjusted her legs farther apart to his liking while Juvia supported her upper body weight on her elbows, hair sprawled all over her back and she waited.

Juvia gasped when she felt a hand on her ass cheek and the other on the small of her back. The one on her ass slipped between her folders, his thumb circling her clit a few times and Juvia moaned.

"A fucking vision." Juvia thought he heard him say, but wasn't sure; her attention went to the fact that she could feel the tip of his shaft brush her entrance and then he slowly pushed inside. She sighed when she felt he was all in and started to move her hips to give him some incentive. "Fuck." Gray whispered mid-laugh and let her do that a few times. "That feels good."

"Gray-sama." Juvia looked over her shoulder and she saw his dark eyes intensify with her next word. "Please."

The next thing Juvia knew, Gray's hands held on to her hips with extraordinary strength so he could move as fast and hard as he could.

"Oh, god." Juvia whispered to herself when she realized Gray was hitting even deeper than ever before, brushing the wonderful spot inside her.

The angle changed when Gray leaned her way, his chest touching her back, one of his hands supporting his weight and the other grabbed her breast, rolling her nipple with his fingers. Gray kissed her shoulder, then her neck.

"Touch yourself." Gray whispered in her ear and Juvia all but melted with his husky tone, but did what was told and her fingers went between her legs, above where they met and she started to rub her clit the way she knew it would get her off faster. Her body tensed and so did her inner muscles, startling Gray for a moment and making him falter his movements for a moment. "Fuuuuck." Juvia let out a breathy chuckle with his reaction, earning a light slap on her bottom for it. It surprised her but what surprised her more was the fact she rather enjoyed it. "You keep doing that and this will end soon." He panted in her ear.

She looked over her shoulder. "Good." Juvia started to touch herself more intently and told her boyfriend. "Harder."

Juvia managed to see Gray's eyes darken even more, a line formed between his eyebrows showing his focus and she felt his hand leave her breast so he could put both hands on her hips, holding her in place. The rest, was all feeling.

He was moving, touching her in all the right places while her fingers stimulated herself. She couldn't hold back the sounds coming from her, the sounds their flesh hitting, Gray's groans, the feeling of her body hot all over.

"Oh." Juvia breathed. "Oh, oh, oh." She could feel it boiling in her lower stomach, she was so close to her high, she just needed a little push. "Gray."

"Urgh." Gray groaned. "Fuck, let go, Juvia." He panted in her ear. "Now." He hit just the perfect spot inside her and Juvia's body exploded from within, she moaned loudly when her whole body tensed and shook, her elbows gave him her toes curled and she held on to the sheets.

Gray cussed, feeling her orgasm while he kept moving behind her and Juvia put her hand his head when he bit her shoulder when he came. A few moments later, Gray put his arms around her and they lied on the bed on their sides, Gray still deep inside her but neither of them minded.

"Well." Gray told her a minute later when their breathing wasn't so labored any longer and he had exited her. "You are almost forgiven."

Juvia giggled. "Didn't you stop feeling neglected?"

He snorted. "I remember I was promised at least two hours."

"Right." Juvia smiled. "What do you plan on doing with the rest of the time?"

"We'll figure something out." Gray kissed the back of her neck and Juvia chuckled.

"You know..." Juvia said and Gray hummed to let her know he was listening. "The slap was new..."

By the way his breath got caught, Juvia could see perfectly in her mind he was turning red – her own cheeks not farther behind.

"I got a little... carried away." He mumbled. "I'm sorry. Did it bother you? I won't do it again if it did."

Juvia cleared her throat. "It wasn't a bother, it was quite fun, actually."

It took him a few seconds to answer. "Good to know."

"You know, you led Juvia to believe we would spend the rest of the two hours very differently." Juvia said; both were lying on his bed, her body pressed against his side which was distracting since she was just wearing one of his shirts.

After a few minutes to calm their breaths and heartbeats, Gray pulled Juvia to his shower and convinced her to stay the night – the original plan was to stay there for a few hours, revising their notes and then go home.

"Well, it's my time and I decide what we will do. I decided we are going to watch a movie." Gray told her as he looked up for the movie he wanted to watch on his laptop.

"Shouldn't we go the living room?" The blunette wondered. "The TV would be better to watch the movie."

"The cable that connects the TV to the laptop is faulty." He said and a few seconds later, he found the movie he wanted to watch. "Here we go."

Half an hour later into the most boring movie of all times, Gray glanced down to Juvia and saw she was sleeping peacefully next to him, and he grinned.

He didn't like at all when earlier she told him she studied after going back home from the diner and had little time to sleep or rest in general. That wasn't healthy at all and it worried him she would get herself sick.

So, he quickly formed his plan.

First, he would make her loosen up by having a good round of sex since he knew she usually got very lazy after – and he had been missing her..

Second, a hot shower would loosen her muscles even more.

And finally, third: watch an awfully boring movie until her tiredness won her over and she'd fall asleep.

Gray gently pushed her away so not to wake her and got up from the bed to put the laptop away and then returned to the bed. He took a moment to watch her and listen to her soft breathing.

It was understandable she'd want to study more because of her scholarship and Gray wouldn't have interfered if a) she had a healthy study plan and b) took a few breaks so she wouldn't go insane.

Gray knew she was ready for the next day's exam otherwise he'd stay up with her helping her study, but she was so nervous he was sure she would've spent the whole night reviewing her notes.

He wasn't going to let her get sick because she was nervous.

He'd probably have to explain himself the next day but that was a problem for the morning.

"Oh my god." The loud shriek and the movement from the bed woke Gray up.

"What is it?" Gray was still groggy and confused from his sleep.

"We fell asleep!" Juvia was franticly looking for her clothes scattered on the floor. "It's morning! Juvia needed to study last night!"

Gray's mouth finally caught up his brain. "Juvia, it's 6 a.m. and your exam is 11. You have plenty of time to get ready, to look at your notes again..." She had started putting her pants back on when Gray got up and walked her direction. "You needed to rest. I couldn't let you get exhausted, it could jeopardize your answers today."

"But..." Juvia tried but Gray didn't let her.

"I did this because I knew you were ready for it." He explained. "Now you can go have your exam feeling rested instead of in a brink of a meltdown."

Juvia finally stopped looking so freaked out. "Juvia was... rather tired."

"You don't say." Gray said sarcastically and rolled his eyes. "You would have done the same thing if it were me." He pointed out and Juvia agreed. "Since I'm up now already, I'm gonna make something to eat while you take a look at your notes." He gave her a peck on the lips and walked out of the bedroom.

Juvia stopped to think about it and realized she wasn't so tired anymore. The past few days she barely had the time to do other things other than study, even if she was in need of sleep. That night had recharged her batteries.

Gray was in the kitchen, taking some things from the fridge when she stepped in and hugged him from behind and kissed his shoulder blade.

"You are a very good boyfriend." She said.

"No, I'm not. I lack in my boyfriend duties sometimes." He snorted. "But I try."

"It's all Juvia can ask."

AN: So, when I was halfway through the chapter, I realized this reeeeally sounds like some things Gajeel and Levy would go through, but I went with it anyway because their behavior isn't really that OOC.

I mean, Juvia is in college because of a scholarship she can't lose, otherwise she'd either drown in debt or not get to finish her studies. Gray comes from a family with money, but Juvia is on her own so she has to take care of herself. She knows how important keeping her grades the best, is. I think anyone would go a little overboard with that kind of incentive.

And, well, Gray wouldn't let her get to a state she's completely exhausted. I think everyone agrees people need breaks and Juvia wasn't get any so he helped her out.

In the end: what the hell, right? Some couples are quite similar in some situations. I hope you guys understand. :)
