Hey, everyone! Welcome to the compilation of my FairyTail 30 Day OTP Challenge. For this challenge I split the 30 prompts between my five favorite FairyTail OTPs: NaLu, Gruvia, Jerza, Gajevy, and Miraxus. Anyways, even if you don't ship all of them, I hope you enjoy at least some of them! All of these have already been written, (and posted on my tumblr) so I hope to just update this at least once a week.

Enjoy!


It had been pouring rain for hours, but Juvia had never been bothered by rain. She loved the smell of petrichor, and the feel of drops falling on her skin and hair. Today, she had gone for a quick run to the market, her hair tied up in a long ponytail, her coat wrapped tightly around her. She wanted to get some ingredients for a special recipe that she had decided to share with a special someone. Her heart soared when she thought of the ice mage. Last night he had admitted something to her after they had returned from a particularly difficult job. They had been pretty beat up. Besides being scraped up and bruised, Gray had broken his arm, and Juvia had twisted her wrist. It had been pretty swollen the other day. As they had limped their way back towards the guild through Magnolia, Gray had supported Juvia with his good arm.

"I'm glad you were with me," he had whispered, "I care about you, Juvia."

The words brought warmth to her cheeks even now, as she rounded the corner towards the market, the slip of paper with the recipe safe in her hands. As she came into the square with all the shops, a familiar figure drew her attention away from her path. Gray-sama?! Gray was leaning against the wall, under the eaves of one of the shops. He looked irritated. Juvia could see his breath on the air, as he huffed with frustration, crossing his arms. Gray's mood had never prevented Juvia from approaching him, so she squared her shoulders, and dashed across the open square, through the rain, towards the love of her life. When he saw her his eyes widened in surprise.

"Juvia? What the hell are you doing here?" He stood up straight as she slipped under the eaves with him, beaming.

"Juvia is going shopping. Juvia has a surprise she wants to make for you!" She clasped her hands, giggling excitedly.

"Tsk. I don't want any surprises," Gray frowned, crossing his arms again and kicking a pebble across the square. It bounced across several cobblestones before landing in a puddle.

Juvia's heart dropped, "It's a special… surprise…" she whispered. Gray glanced down at her with an appraising look and then sighed.

"Fine," He said, and Juvia could have sworn a faint blush came to his cheeks, "Sometimes I just can't say no to you." But as quickly as the pink appeared, it vanished, and his expression of indifference returned.

"How is your arm, Gray-sama?" Juvia asked. Gray's arm was still wrapped in a cast. He shrugged.

"They say it'll take time to heal. Once Wendy gets back from her job she can help get it fixed."

Juvia threw her arms around Gray with a laugh,"Maybe Juvia can help? Juvia could replace the bandages and—"

"No!" Gray snapped, shrugging her off. There was a long silence as the rain poured in the square around them. Gray shoved his hands in his pockets, and Juvia stared out into the mist in the square. Mirajane had once told her that she should try to be gentle, subtle, and maybe a little quieter. It had been hard, but Juvia had been trying her best. Now, in the silence that had formed around the two of them, Juvia felt awkward, and almost lonely. It was Gray who broke through the quiet, first with another sigh, and then:

"How's your wrist, Juvia?" Juvia smiled, holding out her hand to show him.

"Much better!" She pulled up the sleeve of her coat, "It was swollen yesterday, but now Juvia is feeling much—" To her surprise, Gray reached out and gently took her hand. She was frozen where she stood, and her cheeks felt like they were on fire. He seemed to examine her wrist, and paused when he was satisfied.

"Hmm," Juvia could have sworn she almost saw a smile. "Yeah, almost as good as new." And then their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still. There they were in the pouring rain, Gray gently holding Juvia's hand. It was like a fairytale. Juvia thought for sure she was going to faint. And then, he entwined his fingers with hers, and suddenly they were holding hands. Juvia stared out into the rain, sure her whole face was blazing red. Gray's hand felt so warm in hers, and she felt small but safe. She could feel every callous as his fingertips gently brushed against her skin.

"Gray-sama," she whispered, "What…?" Gray didn't respond, didn't even look at her. His cheeks were tinted pink, and he was staring out into the rain, but he didn't let go of her hand. Juvia couldn't contain herself, "Oh, Gray-sama makes Juvia feel like a princess!" She gasped, hugging his arm tightly.

"Ow, hey!" Gray's entire face was red, "Juvia! Get off! Don't you have like… a gift or something to make?!"

Juvia blinked, "That's right!" She patted her pocket to make sure her list was still safe, and then she hesitated. Gray was watching her closely, between the narrowed eyes of a frown. "Gray-sama?" She wanted to beg him to come, to drag him with her, but she remembered what Mira said. With heart pounding, she managed to slip her hand back into his. He didn't pull away, but he was watching her closely. "Would you come to Juvia's house? For dinner?"

"Does this have to do with the surprise… thing?"

"Yes!" Juvia nodded.

"Yeah, I guess I'm not doing anything else tonight," He mumbled, trying to shrug it off. Juvia squealed, throwing her arms around him again.

"Thank you! Thank you, Gray-sama!"

"Ack! Juvia! Get out of here!"

"See you tonight!" Juvia cried, waving as she dashed back out into the rain.

"Hey, you're gonna catch a cold or something!" Gray shouted after her with a shake of his head.
