She still had nightmares about it.

Juvia would see the little dragon aim at her, saw its mouth glow as it tried to beam at her and before she could react, she felt someone push her away and when she finally looked over her shoulder, she saw that was Gray Fullbuster, the man she had been in love for a long time.

A beam had passed right through his heart. She felt tears burn her eyes and before she could do anything else, more beams ripped right into him six more times.

He was still alive when her tears fell and another beam hit him right through his skull.

Juvia would never forget all the blood that soaked her knees as she stayed next to him, unable to take her eyes off of his lifeless corpse and without believe that he was gone. He was gone so she could leave.

The woman sat on the bed and put the cover over her chest and dried the tears that fell over her cheek and put a hand on her chest, over her heart and looked over her shoulder to see her boyfriend sleeping peacefully next to her – not at all bothered by his nakedness – and the way his chest rose and fell meant that he was alive.

To that day Juvia had no idea what made them see one minute in the future (Gray didn't like to talk about it), but whatever made it happen, she would love to say her 'thank you very much' because if it wasn't because of it, she would never had the love of her life holding, kissing and making love to her all those nights.

She watched his peaceful face and smiled when noticed that Gray didn't have the usual frown on his forehead and the woman returned to lie by his side and kept watching him for a long time before kissing his cheek, his jaw and finally trailed down to his neck. He let out a sleepy moan as she straddled him while keeping her assault down to his chest.

His hands went to grab her hips as his eyes opened, sleepy and he had to blink a few times to realize what was happening. "Juvia? What…?"

The woman kissed her way up his torso and then captured his lips and even if he had been asleep not even a couple minutes before, Gray kissed her back and when they parted to breathe, she whispered desperately to him "Just let me know that you are alive."

Gray blinked twice before spun them around so she was underneath him. "I am alive." His voice was hoarse from sleep and it sent shivers through her whole body. Before he kissed her lips, the Ice Mage told her again "I am alive."

"Was the nightmare again?" Gray asked her much later when he had the blunette Water Mage in his arms; her back pressed against his chest, while his face was hidden on her hair.

"Yes." Juvia whispered to him. "And it was more of a memory, as you know it."

"I know." The man sighed and caressed her hip. "Juvia, you know I'm alive."

"Juvia saw you die while saving my life." The Water Mage put her hand on top of his and squeezed. "It still haunts me."

"I almost saw you die for me." Her boyfriend pointed out. "I know how it feels, Juvia; but you need to remind yourself that this is just a nightmare now."

"What scares me is not that memory." Juvia said. "It's the possibility of happening again and not have you back; that's why Juvia doesn't bother you for taking missions together anymore: if something happens, I don't want you to sacrifice your life for me."

Gray groaned. "Do we need to have this conversation again?"

"No." The woman turned around to face him. "You would do it again and Juvia would do it again and we shouldn't, not unless there's another option, but I get scared of losing you." She put a hand on his cheek. "You are the reason Juvia's life is the way it is; with all of her friends and now we are dating... It would break my heart to lose you."

"You won't." Gray assured his girlfriend. "Let's just live our lives, alright? Just try to remember that despite of it all, I am alive. That's what I do when I have nightmares with you."

"Juvia knows you have nightmares about Ur-san and Ultear-san because you cuddle with me." The blunette frowned. "When do you have nightmares about Juvia?"

Gray chuckled. "Usually when we spend nights apart and when I wake you up during the night – exactly like you did earlier – to make sure that you are alive."

Oh. Oh. "So that's why…"

"That's how I knew you had a nightmare." The Ice Mage mumbled to his girlfriend. "Let's go sleep now, Juvia. At least tonight we are both alive, alright?"

"Yes." She kissed his cheek. "I love you, Gray-sama."

He smiled tenderly and even if he didn't say the words often, he did that night. "And I love you."

(Sete means Seven in Portuguese, that's why I called that way)
