Now with the story...

Gray quietly entered his bedroom. He tightened the towel that was wrapped around his waist and pulled his closet open. He gazed at the sleeping child on his bed from the corner of his eye.

Juvia was fast asleep, hugging one of his pillows close to her small body. Gray smiled at the sight, sighing deeply as he walked out of the room.

He changed into his boxers and a black tank top, before laying his back on his couch as he waited for his hair to dry up.

...

Gray woke up from the sudden roar of the skies outside, opening an eye, he slowly sat up and saw fat and heavy droplets of water hitting his window. He ignored the continuous pouring of the rain that night and decided to go back to his slumber.

A few moments later, Gray heard a small sob coming from his bedroom. The Ice mage shot up straight and hurriedly crossed the living room.

When he was already half way, his bedroom door opened quietly, revealing a sniffing blue-haired child.

Her face was covered with her blue hair, wet and sticky because of the crying she made.

"Gwey...," little Juvia called to him, and Gray's heart almost dropped when he heard her voice.

"Juvia... scared," she sobbed, both her small fist covering her blue eyes. "Juvia... scared." She repeated.

Gray worriedly kneeled in front of the child. "Hey," he removed her hair out of her face, gathering it all in one hand.

"Juvia can't..." sob. "Sweep, monstewr... bed."

"Shh..." Gray held her close to his chest, "There's no monster."

"B-but..." Juvia looked up to him and Gray couldn't help but frown at the sight of her scared face.

"Okay. Does Juvia want to sleep with Gray?" He asked softly.

She nodded and wrapped her small arms around his neck. Gray sighed as he let her and he stood up, carrying her in the process towards the couch.

"Juvia... no sweep there..." she pointed at his bedroom door.

Okay. Maybe lil Juvia's not the one who caused this heavy rain. She could still only make it possible if she's angry or upset.

His eyes traveled down on her face.

'...But Juvia is not responsible if the rain pours naturally,' he recalled her telling him.

Oh so... this one's natural?

He went back to his bedroom and got his blanket and pillows. He returned back to the couch and saw Juvia waiting quietly there.

"Here." He placed the pillows on his couch, urging her to sleep again.

Juvia only looked up to him, her eyes blinking.

"What? Do you need anything?" He patted her shoulders. Lil Juvia in return bit her bottom lip, still staring up at him. He waited for her response until he heard a small growl.

"A...ano..." The little girl's cheek was red, her eyes still staring at Gray.

"Juvia... hungwy."

Oh.

Crap.

Gray's eyes widened. How could he forget to feed her! Usually, he could skip dinner if he wanted. Now, he had a small child with him and no skipping of any meals was allowed.

"Sorry I forgot." He blushed and straightened his back. "Come on." He offered his hand to her and the little girl gladly accepted it, putting her own small hand on his, smiling happily.

"I'll make some..." he spoke as he searched inside his fridge. Lil Juvia was sitting quietly, waiting patiently on one of the stools in front his counter top.

After a lot of thinking, he decided to make some pancakes for her. After all, that's the only thing he had since he always took his meals at the guild.

"Are you okay with pancakes?" He asked her and she nodded excitedly.

"Pancakes!" She cheered, clapping her hands in the air.

He smiled unconsciously as he started to heat the pan. Moments later, he put the platter of perfectly round pancakes in front of her.

"Here you go," he gave her a plate and a fork.

Juvia stared at her food wondrously; her small mouth was literally watering.

She took one bite and she shrugged her shoulders excitedly. Beaming up at him she gave him a thumbs up sign.

"Really?" He raised a brow. Juvia sliced her second pancake into half, her small hand tugged Gray's hand which was placed on top of the counter, and him leaning in front of her. "Gwey..."

She offered him the other half, smiling sweetly at him.

He massaged his nape, blinking nervously as his face became hot. "Uhm, it's all yours."

She shook her head, her soft curls bouncing beside her small head. "Gwey too."

She kept on insisting after that, giving her fork to him. Gray sighed dejectedly and took it.

"Yehey!" She clapped her hands. Juvia pulled herself up as she placed her palms on the counter. She set her foot on the stool and reached for Gray's head.

She played with his hair and Gray looked at her small face. "Vewy good!" She exclaimed, giggling as she patted his black hair gently.

He laughed and patted her head in return.

"Are you finished brushing your teeth?" Gray knocked on his bathroom.

"No..." Juvia answered in a muffled tone, her mouth full of foam.

Gray spared a glance on his wall clock. It's now 3 in the morning.

He heard the water run and he knocked once again.

"Done..."

He opened the door and Juvia was ready to jump at him. Her arms were in the air, her lips in a big smile.

"Ready," she grinned. Gray only had enough time to prepare himself when Juvia jump off the stool she's standing from.

"Go!" She exclaimed and she landed on Gray's chest.

"Ow!" Gray groaned, muffled by Juvia's hair. "You should say 'Go' first before jumping," he told her as he led her back to the couch.

"Hiihihihi~" she nodded as she cupped her small hand on her lips.

"Gwey~" she called to him as soon as he put her down on the couch. He placed himself on the floor.

"It's okay. I'll sleep here. You," he pointed at her then on the couch. "There."

Juvia pouted, shaking her head in disapproval. She pushed herself on the farthest corner and patted the place beside her.

"Here..." she smiled, patting her small hand repeatedly on the spot where she wanted Gray to take.

"Uhm," the ice mage blinked, looking anywhere but her. "No... uhm," he looked back at her and instantly he was stunned.

She was smiling patiently; her large eyes were soft as she hopefully staring back at him. "Gray-sama..."

He blinked.

"Gwey?" Lil Juvia asked, leaning closer to him. He shook his head and focused on his lap.

She just said...

"Fine," he kneaded his left shoulder and Juvia went back to her place. "Here," she patted again.

"I know." Gray smiled before laying himself on the couch.

"Are you sure you're comfortable?" Gray asked for the nth time. The couch was pretty narrow for two people but because of Juvia's child size, there still an extra space to lay half of your arm on it.

Juvia snored, her cheeks on Gray's chest.

"Oh, you sure sleep so fast." He chuckled, playing with her blue hair. He brushed some of it out of her forehead and he unconsciously leaned forward, his lips planting a goodnight kiss on her forehead.

When he leaned back, the Ice mage regained his senses. What the...

He looked down on lil Juvia, a smile now plastered on her small face. Gray gulped nervously, he suddenly felt so hot, fanning himself with his free arm.

"Stupid," he mumbled to himself as he covered his eyes with his forearm, telling himself to calm down and sleep already.

The morning came and Gray, being his usual self, was now naked (except for his boxers). With his eyes closed, he turned around and wrapped his arms on one of his pillows. He tugged it closer until his nose was pressed into it.

It was heavenly for an ordinary morning. He pressed his face closer to it, his arms squeezing around for the second time.

It was amazingly soft.

It smells so good too.

His hands went down to grab more of the pillow when he made contact of a skin instead.

He rubbed his large hand on it.

Up,down, up, down, up, down, up, then his hands went further up.

His eyes shot open when his hand found a curve. He squeezed it.

'This is not his usual pillow.'

He looked down and was greeted by a pale leg that was crossed above his hip bone.

It moved, rubbing with his skin.

He heard a mewl and when he looked in front of him he was greeted by a white cloth witha pair of something round inside it. With a scowl on his face, he grabbed it roughly and he heard another mewl.

His eyes went wider.

It was a body, a fucking body! And it was pressed firmly on his.

He removed the pillow covering the other person's face and Gray felt like screaming.

Juvia, dressed on nothing but his large, white shirt had finally regained her original body.
