BONUS Scene

Later that night…

Gray was so exhausted. His muscles were sore and his feet were killing him. He walked straight to his bedroom. He needed some rest because the ride back to his hometown was long and would really gonna drain him but he looked forward to it. He went back to his hometown to visit his parents' grave and his master's too every after Christmas. It was some kind of his own tradition.

The long walk back to his place was torture especially with that 'thing' between his arm and side. He had to glare at anyone who casted a weird look on him or whispered about him and to constantly adjust his arm to hide cardboard Juvia's body. Especially, the upper part.

He placed cardboard Juvia inside his closet next to the Juvia pillow the bluenette got him once and the other absurd things his friends got him related to the water-mage. He shook his head in disbelief about the growing Juvia-related stuff he had. When did it start to become a collection? But the better question was why Juvia was always almost naked in his collection? The stripping habit was getting him an ugly reputation. He should really do something about it.

He picked up the Juvia plushie that rolled out of his overstuffed cabinet and put it back before he shut the cabinet door close. He didn't throw another look at the cardboard Juvia and Juvia pillow, no matter how hard it was for him. He knew it would just keep him awake all night.

Gray was about to take off his shirt when he realized he wasn't wearing any. He wasn't wearing his pants too. He shrugged his shoulders and walked to his nightstand. He placed the snow globe securely on top of the furniture and slumped to his bed. He tossed around but he couldn't catch any sleep so he turned to his right, picked the snow globe up and shook it. He put it back and watched the white dusts float around inside the globe. His eyes ran over the dolls inside it. They lingered longer on the little Grays and Juvias.

"Crazy woman."

He let out an amused chuckle before placing the crystal globe back to his nightstand. He shut his eyes close only to open it again. Gray blankly stared at the ceiling, counting Juvia-sheep from time to time that painted a smile on his face, until sleep finally washed over him.

It was frightfully cold outside as the December snow fell upon Magnolia but that night Gray slept with a warm smile that stayed with him 'til morning.


Author's Corner


Because I love you all so much I added a bonus scene. Hope you guys like it.

Let's talk about the ships in the previous chap. Yes, I kind of ship Mira and Freed but not hardcore. Also, Freed kind of looks like Inuyasha. Don't you think?

Gajeel and Levy well, I bet in the filler arc she said she likes Gajeel but they totally censored that one.

Freed and Laxus I don't know what I was thinking about that. hahaha.

Merry Christmas once again!
