Chapter Six: A Happy Ending

Juvia was about to lay down in her bed next to Gray, but there was a knock at the front door.

"I swear to god, if that is Natsu, I'm going to kill him!"

"Juvia agrees. Let me go see who it is."

Juvia went to her front door and opened it, only to see Lyon.

"Hey Juvia, long time no see sweet cheeks. How have you been?"

"Juvia is doing fine, thank you very much. What brings you here?"

"I just wanted to see you, that's all. Are you alone?"

"If Juvia said no, how would you feel?"

"Wait, you're not alone? Who else is here?"

"I am."

Gray came up to the front door and put his hand on Juvia's waist. Lyon sees where Gray puts his hand and is in complete and total shock.

"Wait, you two aren't...you can't be...this isn't real. I'm dreaming, I must be!"

"This is no dream, Lyon. Deal with it, I got to her first, you were just a little too late."

"Juvia, how could you do this to me? I so much more perfect than him. Don't you see anything in me?"

"Juvia is sorry Lyon, but you are nothing to Gray-sama. He is like Juvia's little snowflake, and you're just...how does Juvia say it?"

"How 'bout a huge ice block that crushes everybody's dream?"

"Yeah, that's is."

Lyon had the most shocking look on his face.

"Goodbye, Lyon. You know know, there's always Chelia."

"Wait, Chelia? That little girl?"

"Can't you see she has feelings for you?"

"No, I never saw that in her. I was only paying attention to Juvia."

"Well, you should think about her sometimes. Goodnight, Lyon. Have a nice night."

Gray closed the door on Lyon and they Juvia laughed. Gray smiled.

"Thanks. If it wasn't for you, Juvia would be in a lot of trouble."

"I'm just surprised he didn't take you away from me. I would totally kill him."

"Don't really kill him though, right?"

"Aww, why do you have to crush my dreams?"

Juvia laughed.

"Hey, I do believe we were interrupted by something we were going to do. Do you want to resume?"

"Juvia would love to."

Juvia walks towards her room, but stops because Gray wasn't falling her.

"What are you doing? Aren't you coming?"

"I was wondering what you were doing. I thought we were going to finish our game earlier today."

"Oh, you meant by that."

Juvia had a sad look on her face.

"Is that ok? Or are you too tired? We could go to bed if you want. I won't mind."

"I really do want to play, but it's getting late and I'm really tired. I promise we can play tomorrow."

Gray walked up to Juvia and gave a warm-hearted smile. He put his hand on the side of Juvia's face and twirled a strand of her hair.

"I'm completely fine with that."

Gray tilted his head down and gently touched his nose with Juvia's. Juvia started crying and put her head down.

"Juvia, what's wrong?! Did I do something wrong?"

"No, you didn't do anything wrong. Juvia just really messed up earlier today, and Juvia is really sorry. She doesn't even know how you can forgive Juvia. Juvia doesn't deserve any of your sweet gestures or kind words and she would rather just crawl in a ball and hide from everybody."

"Juvia, please don't say something like that. You deserve much more than that. This is me apologizing for what I said to you. I told you earlier that I forgave you. It's ok if some people know, and you know what?"

"What?"

"I don't care. Let them know. Let the world know that I'm with a beautiful girl like you, so nobody can take you away from me. You are my world, Juvia. I love you."

Gray lifted her head and he kissed her again. He didn't just kiss her, but he gave her a french kiss. He crouched down and put his hands on her legs and lifted her up. Juvia made a soft laugh and held onto his shoulders. She tilted her head down and gently touched her forehead with Gray's forehead.

"You know, for a girl who loves sweets, you sure do weigh very light. It makes it easier for me to carry you."

"Was that a compliment?"

"Did it sound like something else, I was trying to be nice. Did I succeed?"

"You did."

Juvia laughed.

"Mission accomplished."

"Hey, you should carry Juvia to bed."

"And what, just drop you on it? I don't want to hurt you."

"It's ok. You'll be there to heal Juvia just incase. If you do hurt Juvia, she will apologize. It would only be an accident."

"Are you sure?"

"Juvia is positive."

"Ok."

Gray walked towards the room with Juvia in his arms. He got to the bed and gently dropped Juvia onto the bed. He sat next to her and Juvia put her head on his shoulder.

"Are you going to sleep like that?"

"Not for long. We will lay down here in a few minutes."

"Ok, let me know when."

Juvia didn't respond. She instantly fell asleep and Gray thought she had the most cutest face ever. He let her lean on him for a couple of minutes, then he got up and lifted Juvia into his arms again. He laid her down on the bed and smiled. He took the ice heart out of his pocket and placed it in her hands.

"Maybe you can tell me later."

Gray was about to walk away, but Juvia grabbed his hand. Her eyes were still closed and she mumbled something under her mouth. Gray couldn't hear her, so he got closer to her face.

"Please stay with me. Juvia doesn't want to be alone."

Gray smiled and laughed softly.

"I would never leave you."

He kissed her hand and let go. He walked to the other side of the bed and laid right next to her. Gray hugged her and kissed the back of her head.

"I love you, Juvia."

And just like that, Gray and Juvia have been together ever since. They kept it a secret for a while. When they were at the guild, they acted differently, but Juvia knew he was just messing around. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy already knew and kept their secret. Erza eventually found out when she saw them holding hands outside the guild. Lyon already knew and the guild was getting very suspicious of them. So, they both decided to tell the whole guild and then a couple of days later, Juvia moved in with Gray. After a couple of years, they moved out of Magnolia, got married, and had a family. One boy and one girl, twins to be in fact. Gray and Juvia were the most happiest couple in the world and they do anything to stay with each other until the end of their time.
