There is one thing that crosses my mind from time to time and I can't ignore it. So I have to start this little story.

I think Hiro didn't pay enough attention to the time that Gray and Juvia spent together while living together. I mean, they fucking lived together in a little house in the middle of nowhere. That time HAD to have some effects on their relationship and I think there must have happened some things we don't know.

So, this is what it's gonna be about: Some special events that changed the way they interrelate.

I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters.

Chapter One: Breakfast with a friend

It's been one week ever since Gray and Juvia decided to stick together and search for any clues they could in order to find END. Or rather, Juvia decided to cling to Gray. But after he's collapsed and let himself rest on her chest, completely broken and crying, he couldn't bring himself to leave her behind. She divested his duty of him despite the thought of losing the friendship forever. Little did she know that he really appreciated her action and was thankful from the bottom of his heart. So as a result he led the direction of their journey and she would follow.

They had reached a small village called Amefurashi and determined to stay there. A kind old granny who's been waiting for her long-lost one and only son took pity on them. As long as her son wouldn't return she provided his house for their use. At first they didn't want to accept but they somehow got the impression that he would never return and that old lady enjoyed taking care of young travellers in need.

It was the first morning in their temporary shelter. Gray woke up, streching himself. He nervously turned to his right to make sure he was alone. He sighed in relief. The night before he cought Juvia sneaking into his bed. As lovely and charmingly she tried to convince him of her idea he needed his space. And his own room. So he sent her over to her own room or rather he had to ckick her out. As much as he liked having her around as a trustworthy companion on his path and a funny distraction whenever his thoughts would get him down, he wasn't ready for that kind of closeness. He knew about her deep and honest feelings yet he could not return them the same way. He had other things in his mind to focus on.

When he got up and headed towards the kitchen/living room, he already sensed the smell of fried eggs and bacon. After opening his door his intuition got confirmed. He was watching Juvia from behind. Obviously she was busy preparing breakfast. And it smelled really good.

"Morning", he greeted her.

Juvia turned around, wearing a bright smile and replied to his salutation.

"Good Morn...", she then froze for a moment with eyes wide open and quickly rolled over to her work top.

"Gray-sama is not wearing any clothes...", she muttered.

Gray lowered his sight to not spot any more than his natural God-given body. Reverting to his room and leaving his door slightly open he followed Juvia's speech.

"Juvia got up early. She wanted to make Gray-sama and Juvia's first breakfast together special. There is a little mart for daily needs and supplies down the street. Juvia bought Eggs, cheese, vegetables, bacon, apples, oranges and much more to keep us healthy. Juvia hopes Gray-sama will like it tough."

By that time Gray finished his dressing and joined Juvia.

"Sorry to surprise you". Gray wasn't used to share his daily morning routine with somebody else. He always slept and walked around naked in the morning. Even more of a reason for them to sleep in seperate rooms. How bothersome...

As he sat down on one of the two chairs around the tiny dining table he noticed that Juvia hab already spread the table. Juvia really was an attentive and caring friend. Maybe this house wasn't so bad for the moment.

"You know, you shouldn't have went through the trouble of making all this, Juvia"

"But Juvia's happy when she's doing anything for Gray-sama!", again she beamed with a warm smile and joined him at the table.

"Well, thanks then."

Why complaining about it if she was happy with it? So Gray chilled and relished his meal with a dear friend. At least he could. Juvia took a hard time trying to built some kind of selfmade burger. She filled her toasts with like everything the table offered and attempted to get it in her mouth. Well, she gave it a shot and failed the same way the both of them shared their first meal back in fairy tail after she'd joined them.

Gray couldn't resist laughing out loud. And Juvia felt ashamed. But Gray cheered her up by showing her the right way to do it.

Juvia truly was a special person to Gray. He could groove with her, rely on her and feel comfortable with her. As long as they stayed here he could get used to those moments.

So much for the start. Hope you liked it.
