warm (a short angsty gruvia fic)
Her smile always made Gray feel warm inside.
It always held joy, calm, and most of all, love for life. It was something that always made him sure of himself, that someone like her, believed in someone like him.
Her eyes would light up, as cheesy as it sounds, and brighten his darkest days. Without fail, every time. She was important to him, in ways she would never know.
And in a way, it was his fault.
Maybe if he did let her know about how she made his day, or how he stayed up all night thinking of how someone liked her could ever love someone like him, than maybe he wouldn’t be standing in the pews, and standing beside her instead.
Maybe he would be the man she’s going to promise the rest of her life to.
But he isn’t.
Before the officiant announces them as husband and wife, his heart picks itself back up as he sees Juvia give him one small smile. After all, he is one of her best friends.
Although tell him why, even as his heart is breaking, that the one who broke it is still able to make him feel warm?
