As Snow Falls –Risa-chan22

It was cold outside, about 9 degrees Fahrenheit. Juvia watched the snow fall outside her window as she thought of Gray. Things have been quiet since the fight with Tarotaros. Juvia kept thinking back to all the ones lost during the fight.

There was a soft knock on her door that jarred her from her thoughts. Juvia couldn't think of whom that it could be at her door in this weather.

She slowly got up from her chair by the window to see who it was. She got the surprise of her life when Gray Fullbuster was at her door.

"Hey Juvia, um can I talk to you a while?" asked Gray.
"Gray-sama...Of course come in," said Juvia still shocked to see him out in this weather.

Sighing as he came in while whipping his feet of snow. He looked around her small room, which was full of lace. Her bed was canopied and looked soft to the touch. She had two small love seats both blue in shade, a desk and chair which looked antique. The coffee table was full of wool and yarn bundles and knitting half done.

Gray decided to sit down on one of the love seats. Juvia did the same wondering what he wanted to talk about.

Gray sat with his hands between his knees and head down.

"You know about my dad right?" asked Gray quietly.
"Yes," answered Juvia now worried.
"Well Lucy told me about what happened to Aquarius and I was there with Natsu when Igneel…" said Gray.
"Wait what happened to Aquarius and this Igneel person?" asked Juvia urgently.
"Lucy had to break her key to save us all," explained Gray with a pause, "and Igneel is Natsu's dragon dad, he died protecting him."

Juvia couldn't speak, tears fell down her face. She knew there were sacrifices they made during the fights but this was too much.

Gray looked up to find her in tears, 'shit,' he thought. He got up and hugged her.

"I know what you're thinking but we'll all get through this together," stated Gray in a soft tone.
"Why did this happen?" asked Juvia through her tears.
"I don't know," answered Gray.

They sat together for a while watching the snow fall. Like the tears that fell from her face, the snow falls from the sky so softly.
