As odd as it was Gray couldn't leave her alone. He fought with himself over it a few times, but gave in eventually. She was like a dream, her silky blue hair falling over her shoulders to the soft crease in her mid back. Full two lips pursed in rose. Bright eyes watching him in love. There is nothing else he'd want, and that is what kept him trapped there.

He watched her body sway from the toxins that flooded her bloodstream, she stopped on the dance floor. Her hips swayed to the intoxicating beat from the hand traveling down her pretty neck, to her chest. Her eyes met his and he groaned, turning away embarrassed. Why does he have to feel like this?

The energized Juvia's eyes lit up and giddily giggled bursting out into a sprint towards him, her lovely best friend checked her out. How silly of him. He knew he wasn't supposed to do that. "Gray samaa~"

He turned his head towards her smirking "Yes shithead?"

"You're coming with me"
She giggled grabbing his hand and running to the dance floor, he let her.

She looked into his eyes nervously, grabbing his hand gently, like a falling leaf.

He cleared his throat controlling his expression from showing how happy he was, spinning her. "I'll only do this once."  His tone was cold, but it only motivates her. Juvia giggled pushing her body up against him comfortably. "or so you say."   She muttered playfully, wrapping her arms around his neck.
He couldn't resist the urge to look at her, to memorize this moment as they swayed to the beat. He gulped when he heard the damn song slow.

"Uh-Juvia?" The bluenette was already making it hard, giving him strong eye contact. "Yes?" Questioning him with a raised brow, she lowered one of her hands to his chest.

He was so embarrassed by how his heart felt like leaping out of his chest, it won't stop. "I don't know how to dance."

She laughed and he felt even more embarrassed, why is she laughing?! He's being serious here. He really can't dance.

Scratching her neck, she tossed what he said aside slipping in casually that "Juvia can't either, she probably should've told you earlier." Now this, this was golden. He erupted in laughter, mostly from relief. A charming smile covering his face.

"You're such an idiot." He said spinning her around.

"Oh, is that right? Let's see then." She chimed boldly putting the man's arms around her waist, and taking a step forward right . He wanted to roam every inch of her body with his firm hands, but restricted himself by clenching his jaw, trying to keep up his facade. He took a step back with left instinctively and followed her lead quite well, they got into a good pace. "Juvia's a natural, come on now." She said jokingly, hitting him. He clicked his tongue replying with sass. Juvia was doing really good, but it was gray's distracting smile and laugh that made her miss a step. It was so cute.

Gray took this time to tease her "Wow, what a natural you are." In response a foot squashed his with a devious smile darted at him. "Ow! Did you just-"

"You really should be nicer."

Their hearts were beating so fast, eyes locked on each other's one with love and the other with secret love.

"I can do better." Gray challenges, watching as she returned to him with suspicion. "Well, what's stopping- !"

She was turned around and grays hand rested on her thigh traveling up to her hip as he dipped her, pulling her up he lifted her up in the air with his strong hands gliding his feet across the wooden floorboard. When she came back down she was pulled against his strong chest, this was the first time Gray made a move on her this directly. This was the cause of the adrenaline coursing through her vains, yet she felt like she could faint. She was finally in his arms, with him.

"Juvia" he said softly against her ear as he guided her back with him. Her back against his chest, she lifted her head to meet his eyes, glancing down at his lips, slowly moving up to his eyes that were staring right through her. She gasped for a breath. "Yes?"

'Kiss me now.' He held in the thought "How was that?" He asked cockily grazing her soft sensitive ear with his lips knowing what it would do to her. She scoffed, goosebumps forming on her skin.  "I mean it was alright."

"Sounds like you're a sore loser to me, you shithead."

"Stop calling me that." She warned with a laugh.

"Or what? You're gonna hug me?." Gray said unaffected, she spun herself around pointing her finger at the unintimidated boys chest.

"I could make you scream." She suggested, placing her hand flat against his chest , and running it down his abs . Gray held in a pleasurable groan, almost choking at the seductive act, turning his head. He could feel her eyes burning into him and returned the gaze of the minx, he wasn't going to lose this challenge. "I'd like to see you try."
