Exterminator (Gruvia AU) Chapter 9 - Flourish

© 2023 inspectingg (on tumblr, wattpad and fanfiction.net). All rights reserved.

Synopsis: The administration indisputably decided that social status not only determined one’s wealth, but also life or death. Driven by corruption, those who thrived at the top of the chain dominated the world. Desperate to seize absolute control, Exterminators were given the decree to kill. With the entire fate of the human race under their control, it is imperative to lose all morality and sentiment. When killing people is a full-time job, it becomes second nature for Gray Fullbuster. But when the first person he has ever vowed to protect was his next victim, he makes the difficult decision to keep her under his care, training her to kill – or else be killed.

Genres: romance, action & dystopian.

Chapter IX - Flourish

Juvia’s gaze aimlessly fell to the metal bars that meandered around the edge of the tunnels. The ten-metre fall loomed at her feet, inviting her to take another step. Its gloomy shadows enticed her to swing her legs over, straddling the metal between her thighs until she could no longer feel the ground beneath her. 

Jump. 

Her eyes would roll backwards as she was brought back into the tunnel. The wind fights against her hair. Her skin burns from the force and she’s taken by the void. Before she could test those thoughts, she is interrupted by the clatter of Erza’s boots. 

“If you want to die, do it somewhere else.” The Commander’s scarlet eyes flickered between the drop and Juvia’s staggering figure. “I’m busy as it is already.”

“Why did you pair me with Gajeel?” Erza stopped in her tracks. “All my opponents have been in higher ranks,” Juvia stammered. “I don’t see how that’s fair.” Erza immediately swirls her head to face the drifter. 

“I’m always fair,” she hissed. Raising a hand, she slipped a finger down Juvia’s cheek. “I gave you the opportunity to climb the ranks.” Juvia flinched from her nail scraping down her bruised skin. “If you bothered to fight properly, you would’ve rosen the ranks and we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now, would we?” Her breath hammered against Juvia’s face. “You’ve gotten plenty of help already from a certain someone.” Juvia gulped in response. “Does that answer your question?”

Juvia gave her a small nod and moved away uneasily. 

“Good,” Erza smiled. She turned her head to leave, allowing her hair to follow her like a blaze. “Oh, I forgot to tell you.” Juvia flinched as she felt her face burn. Erza’s lips adorned an intense red tint as she let a tongue flicker against her upper lip. “Bora is alive.” 

Juvia winced as a ringing punctured her ears. “You’ll pay. You’ll pay. You’ll pay” She was once again faced with the disfigured man who taunted her with a playful smile. Its flesh gleamed bright red and patches of skin peeled away, revealing the face of a normal man. His features twisted from blotches of red and reverted back to an ordinary man. Juvia couldn’t help but approach him carefully, started by his transformation. She raised a hand in shock, but was knocked over her feet as a stench tickled her nose, sending a rush of sulphur into her oesophagus. She lurched over to cough. A sting at her shoulder caught her motionless. She convulsed as she found a familiar dagger hanging out from her flesh, sending blood running down her body. Before she could recover her posture, the man twisted his neck to meet her face-to-face. 

“Juvia Lockser,” it shrieked, “you’ll pay.” 

Juvia screamed as a fist suddenly hammered against the man’s face repeatedly. With every hit, his face distorted into patches of red and black. Before she could stop what was happening, she realised the man was the one that tried to throw her over the edge, and Gray had killed him. 

A guttural sound escaped his lips and the man began to whimper, its lipless mouth formed a pool of blood before eventually dissipating away into its rotting body. A puddle of frayed skin and flesh piled into a viscous liquid that slithered into the earth. 

Juvia collapsed as her legs gave out. Every moment since she has existed felt like a crime. She buried her head into her hands. An ache grappled at her chest and she let it lave over as she crumbled to the floor. Juvia stared at the reflection of herself on the tiled ground. Before she could take a look, she felt her stomach jab at her skin, as if trying to escape. Her own existence disgusted her. No longer was she able to cry away her pain and troubles. It wasn’t physically possible for her anymore. Dabbing her eyes with the back of her hand, she was surprised to find them dry. She was fearful of how weak she was. A sudden feeling of needing to be strong washed away the unrelenting pain in her shoulder.

»»————-　⚜　————-««

The trenches were silent. All the other recruits were in bed but Juvia stood at the centre of the training grounds. She formed her hand into a fist and lashed out onto a punching bag. Her bruised arms raised tirelessly, trying to match the speed she was constantly hit with. She felt her blood boil when she let Bora’s elbow slam into her face. Juvia threw out another punch, allowing the bag to sting her knuckles. His grip strangled her until she could no longer think straight. Her feet casted a blow to the rough fabric. A crude smile plastered across his face as he pierced the knife through her shoulder. She sent out an array of jabs, letting her blood race through her body. Her ragged breathing vibrated through her ribs, shaking her lungs rapidly. Her knuckles ached and her stomach clenched from the extraneous motion. Her shoulder was hammered with pain. However, she was too enraged to care. A shrill scream repeatedly encircled her, and she only accelerated her movements, desperate to drown everything out. 

A cold hand suddenly enclosed her knuckles. Juvia jerked away in surprise and tumbled backwards. Her waist was enclosed by a strong arm and she found herself staring into Gray’s onyx eyes. A rush of heat flowed through her face as she found her palm pressed to his chiselled chest. He gripped her body against his as he leaned down to inspect her. 

“You’ve lost weight.” 

Juvia promptly took a step to steady herself, pulling away from him. She patted down her clothes and swept a lock of stray hair behind her ear. “Why should that concern you?” she muttered. 

He tousled his hair away from his eyes as they surveyed her cautiously. “You’re right, it doesn’t,” he replied bluntly. 

Juvia felt her eyebrow twitch in annoyance. She wasn’t sure what these feelings were but they confused her. She wanted to stay in his arms, but she was too scared to be close. When he tipped his head closer towards her she wanted to entangle her hands in his hair and kiss him. But when he would nonchalantly touch her with an aloof demeanour, she wanted to slap him away. 

“You…why are you talking to me?” Juvia unconsciously bit her lip. “I thought I said I didn’t want to see you ever again.” 

Gray sighed as he brushed a hand behind his neck. “I don’t know.” His eyes drifted down to Juvia’s feet. 

“That’s all you say,” Juvia muttered. “At least you could make up something.” She took a step back when he leaned down on a knee. “Anything.” 

“I don’t know how to express myself,” he grumbled. His hands followed her stride and caught the loose shoelace between his fingers. “I’m… not sure why I act like this.” No words left Juvia’s mouth as she swallowed down a sob. She watched in silence as he lowered his head to fix her laces. Her heart pounded vehemently. She pressed a palm to her chest, a pointless attempt at calming it down. His charcoal locks swayed gently with every movement. Juvia suppressed the urge to touch his hair. 

He eventually let go and revealed a tight ribbon at the centre of her shoe. “I do know one thing.” Juvia trembled as he rose, allowing his sculpted figure to tower over her. His gaze locked onto Juvia’s quivering eyes. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

Before Juvia could respond, she let out a yelp as he sent a swing at her leg and let her fall backwards. He caught her right as she prepared for a harsh collision. 

“You need to be cautious of everyone,” he whispered. She quivered as his breath tickled her ear. “If your opponent is bigger than you, hit them in the diaphragm.” Juvia forgot how to breathe as she felt his grasp tighten around her waist. With a jerk of his arm, Juvia was pulled back upright. 

He suddenly yanked her arms away from her sides and pinned them together with a steady grip. “When a man takes advantage of you in a fight,” he muttered, “remember to kick them in between the legs.” Before he could finish his sentence, he swung Juvia’s body around and rammed it against the wall. She screamed in response and her eyes widened as her back collided against Gray’s arm. Juvia struggled against his hold but he did not budge. His other free hand trailed down her hip and latched on her underthigh. Juvia mewled in response but quickly pressed her palm to her mouth in surprise.

“If someone is about to kick you, get closer to them.” He trailed her thigh with a thumb. “They won’t have enough room to land an accurate hit.” Juvia’s arms flailed desperately above her head. She swallowed hard as the sensation of his hand on her thigh started to leave a burning trail. His chest was pressed against hers and his other hand tightened around her hands. With an aggressive tug, Gray wrapped her leg around his waist. “Are you listening?” 

Juvia blinked in shock, her lips moving to form words but nothing was uttered. His eyes were steady as he peered down at her. She felt every one of his exhales caress her cheek. With his body encased around her, every feature on his face was captivating. His lips were slightly chapped, but they invited her to lean in closer. The way his eyebrows furrowed together accentuated his charcoal gaze, sending her into a state of frenzy she never knew she had in her body. Even the scar etched on his forehead striked her heart. 

Juvia found herself completely infatuated by Gray, the Exterminator who could kill her at any moment.

Hold on to the memories they will hold on to you, and I will hold on to you.

Wishing you guys a happy new year! May this be a year filled with good fortune, and more Gray and Juvia content. Is it too much to ask for an official kiss? I kinda played around with this art, and it’s different from my previous ones.

𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄   :   juvia  lockser , 

 my  portrayal  of  juvia  won’t have her being obsessed with Gray.  She is still in love with him but she does not see every female as a love rival and she’s not only focused on him.  Juvia is a complex and complicated character who deserves so much more than to be referred to only as a ( side ) character who is in love with one of the main characters.  Juvia wants to be loved by gray, sure, but she can also grow to get over it if gray doesn’t love her back, she can grow to love other people ! Juvia has other relationships and dynamics that are going to be so fun to develop and explore --- gray is not what her character relies on.  (  that being said, i do ship grayxjuvia but i also ship so much more,  romantic , platonic. etc .   )

Chapter VIII - Tears

An ear-piercing ring sends Juvia down a tunnel of darkness. Her hair is thrown back and every strand slashes at her face as a powerful gust rushes through her locks. The familiar feeling of losing her balance and being discarded into a void penetrated her stomach. She felt a burn in her throat and an agonising screech that can’t seem to go away. She clenched her ears in terror as she fell. 

Suddenly, a visceral figure entered her vision. She forces every joint in her body to look away, but her eyes helplessly dart to the glowing shadow and she feels her gut clench. A faceless recruit hovered right beside her, his lifeless body flailed in the air as it descended at the same speed as Juvia. His disfigured face was drenched in blood. Skin clad in a wet pool of mauve, his body was barely held together by what remained, Juvia could barely make out the man’s facial features. 

To her horror, his slippery lips lifted into an unsettling smile. Juvia’s arms thrashed against the wind in an attempt to get away as the man began to gradually inch closer to her. His flesh scraped against his detached cheek as his smile widened. Words escaped his lifeless mouth. “You killed me, you bitch.” Its voice wailed, sending a high-pitched echo through the tunnel. Juvia suppressed a sickly feeling that almost escaped from her mouth. “How dare you.” Juvia’s eyes widened as the voice became deafening. “You’ll pay”. 

Juvia’s eyes fluttered open as the sound of an alarm invaded her ear drums. Juvia felt her body stuck to the mattress. Sweat dripped from her forehead and pooled at her cheeks. She took a deep breath and could faintly smell the scent of citrus enveloping her body. It did not smell nice anymore now that she was back in the recruits’ chambers. Before she could realise what happened, she heard a booming voice. 

“Up you get.” Juvia whipped her head up to find Gajeel standing at the end of her bed, arms crossed. “You’re going to be late at this rate,” he sighed. Behind him, the other recruits were hurriedly getting changed. “It’s time for the next round.” He tapped her bed frame gently with a gloved finger. “I’ll see you in the trenches.”

Erza’s heels create an ominous echo through the subterranean as she paced back and forth. Her eyebrows furrowed as she studied her watch. “Number twenty-three and forty-eight,” she barked. Two recruits immediately step forward from their positions. “One-hundred push-ups for being late.” The two exchanged concerned looks but immediately fell to their hands and feet. “I’ll make that two-hundred if this happens again.” Scribbling on a form, she returns to her centre position. “Based on the previous round, those who won have the privilege of wielding a weapon.” Erza’s eyes flickered dark. “Those who didn’t,” she let the form drop to her feet and crossed her arms, “will wield nothing.” Juvia felt her stomach fall as Erza sent her a glare. “Of course, I make sure everything is fair.” She raised her wrist to glance at her watch. “The pairings will be announced soon.” 

Gajeel approached Juvia and extended his fist. “I’ll help you train, Juvia.” She cautiously glanced at his other hand that wielded a dagger. 

“Are you sure, Gajeel? I don’t want to waste your time.” The truth was that Juvia was afraid. She didn’t know who to trust anymore. Last night’s encounter with Gray shocked her and she was even more confused than ever. His actions and words didn’t match at all, and Juvia wasn’t sure she could depend on anyone apart from herself. 

Gajeel rolled his eyes. “I’ve been wasting my time enough these days after meeting you. This won’t take up too much time.” Juvia gave him a small smile. “Besides, once you’re trained you can save your own ass, right?” He taps at his eyebrow. “It’s a long-term strategy.”  

Gajeel guides Juvia to a corner with fewer recruits and demonstrates a powerful punch. “Make sure you take the offence in a fight. Especially if you think you overpower them. A strong mentally can help you win.” Juvia nodded cautiously, mimicking Gajeel’s punches. “However,” he paused. “It can also be your downfall. Make sure you know when to punch and when to dodge.” Out of nowhere, Gajeel launches his fist at Juvia. She immediately ducks down and covers her head in shock. Her heartbeat crashed against her chest, as memories of being mauled almost to death seized her conscience. Her lungs pounded uncontrollably as she realised that she forgot to breathe. Gajeel immediately bends down to help her up. “You okay?” 

Juvia forces herself to stand. “I have to be okay,” she muttered under her breath. 

Before Gajeel could respond, the luminescent board flashed an array of vibrant colours. Words glitched as it began revealing the pairings. Juvia unknowingly bit down on her lip, her eyes rapidly scanning the list of foreign names. Finally, she found a familiar name. Her eyes focussed on Gajeel’s name, which was positioned right next to her’s. Unconsciously, her fingers began tracing her shoulder. Juvia lost count of how many times her heart sank that day, but she knew it was just the start of her problems. 

»»————-　⚜　————-««

“I won’t go easy on you, Juvia.” 

Juvia bit her lip but quickly relaxed her jaw when she felt a metallic taste enter in her mouth. She was bleeding before the match even began. Recruits piled around to watch as Erza raised an arm. “Fight.”

Before Juvia could even think about whether to be on the offence or defence, she felt the air knocked out of her as Gajeel’s figure lunged towards her violently. She instantly fell backwards and gasped when her head crashed against the hard surface. 

“Sorry,” Gajeel mumbled before smashing the dagger handle against her cheek. “You know how difficult it was for me to get here,” he grimaced. Juvia felt her mouth open but no scream escaped her lips. She blinked in shock as a fist pummelled against her stomach. The same ringing pain entered her head. She felt her shoulder throb painfully and struggled to stand back up as Gajeel delivered a whack at her side. She felt her trust in him crumble everytime he apologised.��I’m sorry,” he would repeat again and again. His expression became foreign, and Juvia almost couldn’t recognise him. Suddenly, a flashing image of the disfigured man interrupted her vision. His disjointed teeth gnashed loudly together, spluttering blood everywhere. “You’ll pay. You’ll pay. You’ll pay”.  Juvia felt her body fuse into the ground. Her vision clouded but she refused to let the void take her. She helplessly let her gaze fall on Erza, who met Juvia’s desperate gaze with a dull stare. The winner was obvious by now, yet she remained nonchalant. As if on cue, Juvia felt Gajeel’s attack subsiding. 

Erza raised an arm. “The winner is Gajeel.” 

Gajeel immediately grabbed Juvia’s shoulder and pulled her up. “I’m so sorry, Juvia.” He swept away a strand of her loose hair, tucking it behind her ear. “You know how it is.” Juvia felt a shock hit her heart when she found his gaze softened. He was unfamiliar and Juvia felt even more lost than she already was. For the first time in her life, she missed the feeling of being alone in the tunnel.  

»»————-　⚜　————-««

Blood pooled into the drain with every scrub against Juvia’s body. She gritted her teeth and her body shuddered as she let the cold water wash over her. The stabbing pain at her shoulder never subsided and instead, it became even more painful. Whining quietly, Juvia sunk the ragged cloth across her bruised skin roughly, frantically trying to remove all evidence of her weakness. Her veins pulsated through her injuries, and her muscles burned every time she bent over to work at her sides. She glowered at her appearance through the metallic tiles. Her body limped at the wrong places as every part of her represented defeat. Her fingertips grazed her cheek as her eyes followed every purple mark that stuck to her body. 

An unbearable burn radiated from her chest. She fell to her knees and recoiled until she was completely flooded by the pouring water. Juvia remained lifeless until she could no longer hear herself over the sound of the shower. Hesitantly, she allowed a tear to fall down her bloodied cheek. Her throat burned, desperate to suppress a sob that threatened to escape. She wasn’t going to stay weak anymore. Juvia was determined to find the same confidence she had in the tunnels. Grasping at her shoulder, she bit her bloodstained lip and let out a painful hiccup. She felt nauseous as her mouth opened up to release a cry. The painful memories she accumulated over the past few days started to overflow. 

Toppling onto the frigid floor, she finally allowed herself to cry. An agonising pain spread through her chest as she let her tears flow down her face. She could no longer think properly, as she screamed into her bruised palms. Her tears fused together with blood as it snaked down the tiles before disappearing into a dark void. She promised that today was the last time she would cry tears of weakness.

Violinist Juvia Lockser! 🎻

Earlier, I’ve been thinking about an AU where a kid Meredy tried hooking up her uncle Gray, with a violinist Juvia after watching her show. Also, I wanted to try a semi-realism art style so here you go! Ending 2023 with this art!

Latest drabble now up!  (i’ll finish my actual stories soon..)

See it on FF here

Based on FT: 100 Year Quest chapter 113 cover, you know what it is ;)

Keeping Connected

Juvia was paced around her room in her pyjama set, biting her lip as she glanced at the clock. One thing Juvia admitted was she wasn’t particularly great at being patient. Although she was sure the guild might argue differently.

‘I’d imagined he’d be finished by now, right?’ she thought to herself.

All day she had been waiting for the clock to turn to 7pm, perfectly timing her entire day so she’d be fed, showered and ready for that exact time. But currently it was 5 past, and she just couldn’t keep still.

She glanced at the lacrima phone lying on her bed and turned her head away, knowing however long she looked at the phone, it wasn’t going to make him call any sooner.

She sighed and wriggled her toes in her fluffy cream carpet she was pacing upon, thinking of the reasons why he was late calling, but her thoughts were interrupted by a jiggle going off and the lacrima screen lighting up.

She almost pounced on the thing, but managed to keep hold of her nerves and wait for the second jiggle before answering. She couldn’t make out that she had been waiting all day for the thing to ring, although that’s exactly what he would assume she’d been doing.

‘Hello?’ She said in a small voice. She’d never owned a personal lacrima before as she never thought of much use for it, but the last time Team Natsu had magically appeared once again in their guild, Gray had gotten her one before they had to leave again. Saying something about not knowing how long this mission will go on for, or when they next might be back for a break, and it’d be good for them to keep in touch for the time in between.

‘Hey’, a husky voice replied back.

Juvia screamed internally. She didn’t realise how much she missed his voice and why it had to sound so much sexier over lacrima.

‘Hi’ she breathed. It was actually working. Gray was mavis knows where across the world, but now he was basically right in Juvia’s ear, the thought almost making her giggle.

‘Is that all you’re going to say?’ Gray replied with a chuckle.

Juvia started to panic, ‘ummmmm…’. With her excitement taking all her attention, no words or conversational ideas were forming in her mind.

Gray laughed again at the usual whirlwind that lived in that girl’s head. ‘It’s all right, so how was your day?’

Her day? What did she do apart from prepare for this call? She couldn’t tell him that! ‘Ah it was fine thankyou Gray-sama, just a usual day at the guild really. How was yours?

‘Ah it was a busy one. We left the map with Natsu for a split second and somehow ended up in a small village in the complete opposite way, but for the most part it’s been fine.’

Juvia chuckled at the tale of her hectic friends, ‘So a typical day for you then as well.’ she said with a smile. ‘Do you know your plan for your next location?’

‘Hmmmm, I think Erza has managed to find us back onto the right path, then onto the next dragon location really. Sorry I can’t go into too much detail about the mission…’

Juvia responded with a hmmm. She sat back on her heels on her bed, cuddling her gray sama love pillow she always kept there.

‘Although you’d love it at this place we’ve ended up at, I think there’s some festival going on around the main castle walls. We’ll have to try and find this place again and join in next time.’

Juvia's heart swelled, she was still getting used to these odd moments for Gray when he planned their ‘not-date’ dates, whether he realised it or not. ‘I’d really like that Gray-sama’.

There were some bickering voices in the back, and Gray let out a slightly irritated sigh. ‘Looks like I better get back to the group, sorry we didn’t get to talk for long’.

‘No worries Gray-sama, it was nice to hear your voice’.

‘...yours too, and… I hope getting you the lacrima wasn’t too strange. I just thought that even when we’re apart…’

‘Our hearts will always be connected!’ Juvia finished triumphantly.

“Sure Juvia.’ Gray said with a low laugh. That wasn’t exactly what he was going to say, but it seemed to please her. ‘Talk soon, cya.’

‘Bye Gray-sama!’

The line disconnected to Juvia’s dismay, but she rolled onto her back and squealed again, legs wiggling in the air. She suddenly froze to make sure the line was fully disconnected, and seeing the screen blank she carried on her mini celebration.

Juvia was curious how often Gray would end up calling her, but knowing he had found them a way to communicate when they were apart filled her with joy and she was excited to see what else will change between them in the future.
