Gray shivered slightly, leaning back on the cold wood of the bench. He wore nothing but jeans and a light black jacket, both that were now wet from her body heat warming the frozen wood. She lifted her wrist to examine the dainty watch resting on it. It read three-thirty two; if she didn't show up soon, he was going to ditch the her.
Gray sighed quietly and focused her attention to the people bustling around her, deciding to give her a little more time.
A small girl with dark hair combed into neat pigtails laughed as she chased a boy with the same colored hair. Gray guessed they were siblings. The obvious mother yelled for them to come back while shifting her shopping bags uncomfortably.
Despite him worrying, Gray couldn't help but smile. He remembered days of his childhood, the memories good and bad.
If only she could go back to those times…
Gray was suddenly grabbed from behind. Spluttering, he swung his elbow, succeeding in hitting the attacker's nose, point on. She yelped and released his grip on his shoulders.
Then Gray saw the blue hair, slight build, and the blue eyes.
"Juvia?" His hands flew up to his mouth, in shock. "I am so sorry! I didn't know it was you."
"Gray-sama, its good to see you again."
Juvia had grown into a beautiful , her sky blue hair was curled, her lashes were done with mascara, and the blush she had added to her high cheekbones was hardly necessary for the moment.
"Look at you.… wow."
She playfully hit him on the shoulder, blushing madly.
"Yeah, great to see you too." He winced, rubbing the joint.
Gray may not have become as muscular as the other men had, but he had grown taller than Natsu now. He still acquired his slender form, and his raven black hair shimmered in the light. His red eyes had deepened to a maroon, and he was now eyeballing her.
"And look at you." She commented casually.
Gray moved up to Juvia, resting his forehead against hers, and wrapping his arms around her waist as she moved hers around his neck.
"I missed you." He whispered, stifling a laugh as her blush appeared again.
"I missed you too." She responded, and their lips met.
