I'm going to attempt to do the Christmas Challenge and I'm just off to a great start huh? Lol At least I'm not horribly behind xD Enjoy a fluffy Gruvia Christmas morning.


Juvia woke up, and the first thing she did was stretch and take in her surroundings. There lying right next to her was Gray snoring lightly and one hand resting on his stomach the other thrown over his face and his legs took up nearly all of her room, but she didn't care. Looking at the calendar on the clock told her it was the first day of December and there for the first Christmas they would be celebrating together as a couple. She couldn't be more excited!

She leaned into him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek and slipped out of the bed to get ready. She was going to do every tradition she could fit into the next twenty-five days with her Gray-sama but first she had to convince him to do them all. To do that she would have to be in her top shape which means showered, dressed, and with a full tummy.

She got two of those things done before he actually woke up with a massive groan followed by a grunt. She was currently in the kitchen cooking food which was what probably woke him up. The door to the bedroom was wide open giving her a lovely view of a naked Gray sitting and rubbing his eyes from the sleep.

"What ya' cookin'?" He began walking out of the bed in all his naked glory and sat on the barstool behind the counter facing her. Their apartment wasn't the largest, but it was big enough for just the two of them; however, right now she wished it was larger to get away from her naked boyfriend and his distractions.

"Pancakes," She tried to ignore the soft blush dusting her cheeks and focus on the food instead of the usually bare Gray. Juvia should be used to it by now, but she still found herself flustered whenever he chose to walk around in his birthday suit. However, ignoring him was easier said than done, she caught herself looking up at him from under her eyelashes every now and again and noticed he was half asleep watching her with his head resting on his hand.

"You're up early. What's the occasion?" She barely heard his mumbled question over the sizzling of the batter on the stove.

"Well, Juvia was hoping to have breakfast made before Gray-sama woke up, but Juvia was wondering if Gray-sama would be willing to do some Christmas traditions with Juvia." She looked at him from the corner of her eye too nervous to meet his eyes head on.

He was still slightly asleep and didn't seem to catch on to what she was talking about, "hmm?"

Maybe now would be the perfect chance to get exactly what she wanted, "Gray-sama would you agree to do everything Juvia wants this Christmas?"

He started slightly drooling onto his hand and mumbled what she was going to assume was a yes. She felt her face split into a Grin and quickly finished the meal she was making shaping the pancakes into different Christmas designs. Once she had a plate ready with all the garnishes she slammed it in front of Gray making him jump out of the seat and falling backward hitting his head.

"Gray-sama!" She hadn't meant to startle him that much, just wake him up!

"Oww, you could have just woke me up," He grumbled the last bit resetting his chair and taking a seat giving his food an odd look, "What's this? I thought you said you were making pancakes not trees."

She giggled at the face he was making, "It's December Gray-sama, Juvia wants to make it festive!"

"Festive?" Sudden realization dawned on his and face that could only be described as that of pure horror greeted her from across the counter, "You asked me something earlier didn't you?!"

She told him sheepishly, "Nothing much… Just that Gray-sama agreed to do anything Juvia wanted to do for Christmas."

She bit her lip and looked at him from under her lashes again the way she knew he liked it. He glared at her taking a piece of bacon and eating it.

"You sneaky, sneaky vixen you. What all do you have planned exactly?" He began slowly eating the meal. He admitted to her once when he was drunk that she made some of the best food he'd ever eaten so she'd taken it upon herself to make him food every day.

"Not much, Juvia only wants to pick out a tree with Gray-sama, decorate, make cookies, go caroling, make a gingerbread house, go ice skating, wear ugly sweaters one day, sledding, and of course shopping!" For each new item she thought of, Gray's face became more and more downcast. She smiled at him then pouted her lip when she saw the face he was giving her, "Hey! You already agreed plus this is the first Christmas, so we have to do it right!"

She puffed out her cheeks and placed her hands on her hips. Gray knew he had no choice when she got like this. The best he could go for is a compromise, "I'll do most of those things but I refuse to go caroling!"

She frowned then seemed to think about it, "Juvia accepts your terms."

He looked down at his half-eaten food haven lost his appetite during her list of items to do. There wasn't anything he could do now that she had that determined look on her face. He walked around the counter and entered the kitchen giving her a hug from behind. She suddenly turned vibrant red and started to melt slightly in his hands. What?

"G-g-gray-sama! You're still naked!" She covered her face with her hands and tried to keep away from his lower body. He grinned ear to ear having no problem being naked around her. They'd been dating far too long, and she'd seen him naked so often it didn't bother him now her, on the other hand, still seemed flustered about it.

"Oh problem miss. She devil? But he just wants to show you how happy he is about your holiday plans!" He started pushing her against the counter trapping her between his arms. He could practically see the steam leaving her ears from how hot her face was.

"S-stop! Juvia has lots planned today, and we don't have time for that." She still had her face covered, and her whole sentence was muffled behind them.

He grabbed her wrists making her look at him and grinned wider, "I've got my own Christmas wish care to grant it for me?"

"What is it?" Oh, she should have known better.

"You!" he immediately scooped her up bridal style and began walking her to the bedroom. She started giggling in his arms clinging on to him so she wouldn't fall, not that he would ever drop her.

"Gray-sama~" Whatever plans she had would just have to wait.
