Hey guys! Well this is just going to be a series of one- shots on grayza! I just can't seem to get enough of them! I know they have a small fandom and it's really quite sad. Anyway I was supposed to post the first chapter on grayza week but sadly i couldn't. This one's a bit fluffy. The next might be filled with angst( i just love those ) . Sooo presenting to you chapter one!
Still feeling cold?
.

Achoooo!
Silence...It echoed all over the room which was in a rather messed up condition.
"38..." Gray said with an amused look upon his features. A small smirk crept onto his lips.
He was enjoying the situation at the moment. He was so enjoying this. He could be a sadist at times like these.
" Would you stop counting the number of times I sneeze." Erza tried saying in a scary and demanding tone but her voice came out muffled and hoarse that it actually sounded funny.
At the very second, Gray burst out laughing. He didn't try to hold back his laughter anymore. He wasn't even scared as the mighty Titania in her present condition didn't seem a bit scary... instead Gray was more amused at the sight.
It was the middle of December. Winter this year had been extremely cold. There was snow everywhere. It covered the rooftops of buildings , covered the streets ,gardens and the list continued.
Of course, Gray lived for this kind of weather. He just carried on his daily habit of stripping as the weather didn't affect him.
However, the weather seemed to be unbearable for a certain red head.
This morning when Gray had come to visit Erza, he was shocked no less to see the red head in such a mess. Tissues scattered all over her room, her hair unkept, her cheeks flushed and she was lightly gasping for air.
' I'm sick.' when Gray had heard those two words he had burst out laughing ,ignoring the protests and death threats coming from the red head.
"Achoooo!" Another sneeze echoed.
"39..." Gray still continued counting.
He was seated in a chair next to her bed. He had said that he'll stay back to take care of her but, that was just an excuse. The real reason why he wanted to stay back was because he was having way too much fun at the sight.
Erza Scarlet, the mighty Titania. It was quite daunting to see a wizard who took down huge monsters with a single stroke get taken down by a ... cold?
Erza's never the one to fall ill. She actually had never caught a cold save for one but that was when she was young.
"Achoooooo!"
"40!"
Erza immediately glared at Gray. That was enough to shut him up.
' Boy, she can still glare like a devil!'
Erza groaned helplessly and tried sitting up. She was quite restless, though what she needed now was to rest. She was immediately pushed back into bed by Gray. She once again glared at him. He sighed helplessly.
"Not so fast woman. You need to rest." He said, gently touching her forehead to check for temperature.
"You have one heck of a fever." He said studying her temperature.
Erza once again groaned. She slammed her face into her pillow.
"I feel horrible... today is Christmas and I can't even go to the guild...this sucks!"
Gray stared at her, his amused expression never leaving his face. Suddenly a devilish smirk rose to his lips.
Maybe he could have a little more fun.
" Me, Lucy and Natsu are going ice skating later." He said casually, hands behind his head. He tried rocking the chair in which he was seated.
A soft gasp was heard from the red head. She rose her head to meet his. Her eyes had a bit of jealousy in them.
Gray smirked. He loved it when he had control over the Titania for once.
"And...all of us are exchanging gifts tonight and the Master's organised a big party." He continued making her jealous.
Her expression turned into a mixture of curiosity ,jealousy,surprise,hope and a bit of sadness.
She sighed heavily and turned her back towards him. She knew he was doing this on purpose, but she didn't protest.
"You're doing this on purpose ... you're having fun at this...aren't you?" She asked hopelessly. How badly she wanted to jump out of her bed and go to the guild and celebrate Christmas with her friends, with Gray.
"Hell Yeah!" agreed Gray enthusiastically .
He then rose to leave. Erza turned to him with a questioning look.
" You're leaving?" she asked , trying not to sound pleading.
Gray could feel a smirk creep onto his lips but restrained it.
"I'll come back after the party." He said with a smirk. His face was immediately met with a pillow.
"Get lost then." Erza screamed like a small girl who was jealous.
She heard the door shut and looked up. Gray had already left .
' He left already?!'
" Achoooooooo!"
"50!" A voice shouted from across her apartment.
" I'll kill you Gray!"
...
She opened her eyes and noticed that her room was dark. She tried sitting up. She was successful at it. She felt much better now than what she had felt in the morning. She yawned and lazily got up from her bed.
She glanced outside her window. It was snowing. Her eyes lit up a bit. Nobody knew this but Erza loved it when it snowed. She loved the sight of freshly fallen snow, loved the smell of it. For her it always smelt like mint just like how he smelt. She liked the cold, whether it was because of a certain lad, she did not know.
She switched on the light and looked at her clock. It showed 7:00 pm sharp.
She sighed. Everyone would be enjoying at the guild and exchanging gifts and she wouldn't get any. Even Gray would be getting a gift from Juvia. She looked at a small gift wrapped box beside her bed. She had bought that for Gray for Christmas however he wasn't here with her now.
She exited her room and proceeded towards the kitchen to make herself dinner. She reached her living room and found it brightly lit.
' Weird... I hadn't turned on the lights." She proceeded towards switching off the lights but stopped halfway to discover Gray casually seated on her couch reading a magazine. He acknowledged her presence and looked up from the magazine.
" Oh you're up. How are you feeling?" He asked while studying her carefully.
She just stood there, a shocked expression on her face. She didn't reply to his question.
"W-what... Are you doing... Here?" She asked him stupidly.
He simply smiled at her. Not his usual smirk but a genuine smile.
" Me? Well to celebrate Christmas with you as always." He said, that smile never leaving his face.
Erza felt warm all over. She felt blood rush to her cheeks. She immediately looked away from him to hide her blushing features.
"a- I'm cold... Why the hell is it so freaking cold!? I hate the cold. Argh!" She pretended whining and screaming about the weather but that was just to prevent her from blushing more.
However that plan of her's backfired when Gray grabbed her hand from behind and pulled her towards him on the couch.
She fell backwards on Gray. She turned even warmer. He slowly put his arm around her waist innocently and buried his face in her hair, inhaling her scent.
She blushed harder. They were way too close and Erza could even smell his scent. That minty scent which she loved. Her heart beat increased rapidly and she had a strange feeling in her stomach which she liked.
She cleared her throat.
"W-what are you doing?" she stammered.
Gray just nuzzled his nose to her neck like she was a fluffy teddy bear. That made Erza blush even harder.
" This will just help you keep warm." He said. His lips slightly gracing her neck. He pulled her closer.
" You don't like it?" He asked in a teasing manner.
" I do like it." She said almost immediately but then again immediately covered her mouth. " I-I mean... It feels warm."
Gray laughed a little. He then fished something out from his pocket and put it around Erza's neck.
" Merry Christmas fairy." My fairy. He whispered. He constrained himself from saying that part aloud.
Erza marvelled at the pendant. It was diamond-shaped with a red gem contained in it. She smiled brightly.
" Merry Christmas Gray."
