Snow fell onto the city of Magnolia that night. Juvia ran wild in the Garden's of Fairy Tail, "Gray-Sama!" she squealed "Juvia want's Gray-sama to play in the snow with her!" Her eyes glistened from the reflection of the snow, as it settled into her sea-blue hair. She smiled and stared at the Ice mage from beneath the tree.

Gray walked over to her with his arms folded "Fine" he sighed reluctantly "But don't expect me to-"

It was too late. Juvia had already thrown the snowball at him, smacking him straight across the face. "Juvia is so sorry, Gray-Sama!" she exclaimed with tears filling her eyes, "Gray-sama has the right to punish Juvia! Juvia recommends a large spanking!" she wailed as she fell to her knees and tugged on Gray's soft, woollen sweater.

"Get off of me!" Gray pushed her away, but the Water mage wouldn't let go.

"Punish Juvia!" She squealed as she continued to pull on Gray's jumper.

Gray offered a hand and pulled Juvia up. "You really know how to make a scene, don't you," Gray laughed as Juvia continued to hold his hand without letting go. Gray could barely feel her hand. They were as cold as the air around them. Her hand was rock solid, as if it were made of ice. "Juvia..." Gray asked in great concern "Are you okay?" He stared deep into her dark blue eyes.

"J-Juvia's a little cold... but n-no need to worry, Gray-Sama" she smiled. Her hands had actually frozen and it was slowly creeping up her body.

"have this..." Gray removed his scarf and Jumper and wrapped Juvia up as his cheeks turned a rosey red and smiled.

But Juvia was still cold. Her own hands began to turn ice-blue and she fell to the ground once again "J-Juvia is s-s-so cold, Gr-Gray-Sama,"

Without hesitation, Gray picked The freezing water mage up and ran inside of the guild and lied Juvia down onto an empty table. "Wendy! Help!" Gray yelled. "Something's wrong with Juvia!"

The sky dragon slayer dropped her tea immediately and ran to her. "She feels like she is freezing from the inside," she stated with great shock. "How long was she out there?"

"Gray, Your clothes!" Cana slurred before downing a barrel of wine.

"Have you not read the current situation you drunk cow!?" Gray snapped "My clothes are on Juvia!" a sudden thought occurred... "Oi! Natsu!" He yelled.

Natsu came running over "Fight me, Gray!" Obviously Natsu hadn't read the situation either.

"Natsu! this is serious!" Gray cried. "I need you to give off loads of heat."

"Like a massive radiator?" He questioned with confusion.

"Exactly like that," Gray confirmed.

The fire dragon slayer stood right next to them and engulfed himself in flames.

About 2 hours passed. Everyone from Laxus to Kinana stood observing. Gray's Hand never left Juvia's. "Hang in there..." the ice mage whispered

Water began to run from Juvia's hands and onto the table. "Gray-sama..." a faint voice whispered. The entire guild fell silent.

"I'm right here," Gray squeezed her thawing hand and smiled. Gray's emotions had finally become clear. What he had done for Juvia, he would have still done for everyone else... but Juvia made him feel something different. He helped her lean up and wrapped his arms around her. as he pulled away, he stared deep into her eyes... she had never looked better. Without hesitation, Gray pulled her close and kissed her.

The Guild broke into cheers of joy.

"Carla..." Happy asked in a shy, but stern voice

"No," Carla snapped.

Happy's face turned to shock as Lily watched and laughed.
