Chapter 21: His Grandfather
Juvia's POV
Five days has passed since the rejection. Lyon-sama stopped talking to me. Also, whenever Juvia's close to him, he would excuse himself and go out. He's definitely avoiding me. But, I guess everyone's like that after a rejection.
Never mind that! Right now, Juvia's really happy. Guess what?
Juvia's on her way to his house. He said that his grandfather wants to meet me... His grandfather just came home a week ago, he said earlier. To be honest, I'm really nervous... Meeting his grandfather...
Wait, what if his grandfather is strict? What if he wants a more beautiful girl? What if he said that I'm ugly and not suitable for Gray-sama? What if he said I smell bad? \(;´□`)/ what if he judges what I look like? What if he said I look like, the worst girlfriend ever? This is making Juvia uncomfortable...
"G-Gray-sama, is your grandfather strict?" I asked and I tried to hide the nervousness in my voice but failed to.
"Huh? Oh, grandpa? He's not. Are you nervous?" He asked curiously. I gulped and nodded once.
He stopped walking, making me automatically stop too. He scratched his head and said, "I know you're nervous.. Since this morning when I told you about it. Still, I want you to go to my house in relief and happy so... Let's stop first?"
"A-Are you sure?" I asked and again, nervousness covered me.
He nodded. I took a deep breath and jumped 10 times. I stretched my two arms out and I slapped myself, literally, 15 times. He held my hand to stop me, slapping myself.
"Um, Juvia? What are you doing?" He asked, holding my cheek where I slapped earlier. "Your cheek will worn out."
"O-Okay.." Juvia, calm down! Calm down! Breath in and out... You can do this. "I-I'm okay now, let's go."
He chuckled and pats my head. "You always do those things when you're nervous?"
I shook my head but then, I nodded again. Its actually my first time doing those things when I'm nervous but I don't want him knowing it. "Y-Yes but I can handle this."
We started walking towards his house again. While walking, I kept telling myself to calm down and that I can do this. What, its not like its my first time in his house but, it is my first time meeting his grandfather. (T▽T) Juvia will do her best to make a good impression!
*****
"You must be Juvia Lockser, Gray's girlfriend, right?"
"Y-Yes."
His grandfather... Looks like an average one. He has a blackish white raven hair, his face with wrinkles and wearing glasses. He looks a lot like Mr. Silver. Juvia was expecting someone who looks like a millionaire since he's from the States but... He's normal, far from what I imagined.
He stretched out his arm, took my hand and shakes it. "Nice to meet you, Juvia."
"N-Nice to meet you too, s-sir."
He laughed a bit and gave me a warm smile. "You can call me Grandpa or Grandfather."
Gold Fullbuster. 64 years old. One of the richest man in the whole world. Single. Many people respects him and likes him. Looks like Mr. Silver and he's just an ordinary old man, seriously.
We sat down on the couch. Grandpa is in front of us, sitting on another couch. He cleared his throat. "You're a very beautiful person, Juvia."
"T-Thank you." I said and bowed a bit.
"I'd like you two to tell me your love story." He said. Gray-sama and I looked at each other. What should we say? That Gray-sama forced me to be his fake girlfriend for a month? Isn't that a bit.. Umm...
"I asked her to be my fake girlfriend for a month and we were acquaintances that time." T-That's too blunt!! "I-I wanted to get back with my previous girlfriend, Lucy and Juvia is close to her so I thought that there's a chance that Lucy will go back to me. But thanks to that stupid agreement, I found someone who's suitable, beautiful and kind to me. I love her." Gray-sama holds my hand and smiles at me. I smiled back.
"Aww, but you were stupid about that agreement."
Gray-sama chuckled. "I know right?"
My heart was beating too fast because of what he had said. Its a bit embarrassing but it made me happy. Saying that in front of his grandpa shows that he isn't embarrassed of me. Including that time when he kissed me in front of the crowd.
"Seems sweet." He said and looked at me. "Juvia, was he being perverted around you?"
My blood suddenly rushed to my face. Gray-sama stood up, he was blushing as well. "G-Grandfather! W-What the heck???"
Grandpa laughed at Gray-sama's reaction. "Y-You're funny, Gray! Hahaha! This is the first time I've seen you embarrassed like this!"
Gray-sama sat down and looked away. "I-Its not the first time..."
"Then, he must be crazy in love with you, Juvia." He said and smiled at me again. "Thanks for giving my grandson to be happy again."
I smiled and nodded. "He was always happy, I know that..."
"Ohh, your girlfriend's pretty cute, Gray." Grandpa complimented me.
Gray-sama puts his arm around me. "I know. She's always cute. Don't go attacking her though. She's mine and only mine."
Grandpa laughed again. "You're overprotective, Gray! I'm not like those other grandpa who would attack their grandson's girlfriend!"
"Tch. I'm not overprotective." Oh, yes you are.
"But I can say that, you two are suitable for each other. You two look good." He complimented us. "What if you two got married? I wonder what your kid looks like.."
"U-Umm..." Smoke came out from my face, because of embarrassment.
"I want our kid to take over Juvia." Gray-sama's too blunt!
"Really? Hahaha! I hope so." Grandpa joked. "Well, are you two hungry? You want me to ask the cook to cook us food?"
"Nah, we'll eat outside. We have a date today." Gray-sama said, holding my hand and intertwining it with his.
"Oh, is that so?" Grandpa turned to me and said, "Juvia, I'm so sorry that I forced Gray to take you here to meet me... I didn't even know that you two have a date today."
Actually, I didn't know too.
"I-Its not your fault, grandpa." I said, easing him.
He laughed. "Well, I hope you two will last forever. Gray, take care of her, okay? Don't every leave her."
"I know that already."
Gray-sama stood up so I stood up as well. "Well, we'll get going now. You already met my girlfriend."
"Okay, then. You sure you don't wanna eat here?" He asked once more. Gray-sama nodded. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure."
Grandpa stood up. "Well, I guess this is a good bye. I hope to see you frequently, Juvia."
"Me too, grandpa." I giggled at the thought.
Gray-sama's grandfather is nice and funny. He's like Mr. Silver. Now I know where Mr. Silver gets his funny side.
Gray-sama holds my hand. "Bye, grandpa."
"Good bye, you two lovebirds." He bid us a good bye.
We went outside, hand-hand.
Gold's POV
I watched those two as they went inside the car. Gray has became a gentleman. Is that Juvia's effect?
But...
Gray's girlfriend is interesting... Too interesting that maybe she'll leave him.
I don't trust her.
