You're back. You're finally back to me…

GRAY'S POV

She is here. Juvia is actually here, right in my arms. My eyes began to water. When was the last time since I had held her? It has been so long…

She was still the same. The same slim figure, the same wavy blue hair, and her dark blue eyes. Juvia was still as beautiful as always.

I wrapped my arms around her a little tighter. I was hugging her as if there'll be no tomorrow. This time she won't go anywhere. Not this time…

"You're still so warm…" I said with a smile on my face. "I'm so sorry, Juvia."

I was finally able to say those words to her. I have been feeling so guilty with so many things on my mind that I wasn't able to express. Now she's here. With me again…

I looked up to see her familiar face. A small smile curved up.

"Juvia has missed you too, Gray-sama. And it's alright," Juvia said in her soft voice.

"But there are so many things that I have done. So many things that I haven't said to you that I must say. How can you say everything is alright? I had made you hurt and had made you leave everything and everyone behind. Aren't you mad at me? I just don't deserve you…" I said without a break. I just couldn't believe that she would actually come back to me, plus say that everything is alright. I felt like an asshole for hurting her and driving her away.

"Gray-sama, why wouldn't things be alright? What do you mean you don't deserve Juvia?! You're the only one Juvia would choose even if she has to choose between Gray-sama and someone else. No matter what happens Juvia will never hate or blame Gray-sama. Juvia knows that Gray-sama only did the things he did was because of her and the guild. Don't ever blame yourself like that. It makes Juvia feel like she was the one who caused Gray-sama great pain. Juvia didn't leave because of what Gray-sama had done. Don't put the blame on yourself. Juvia just needed some time to herself. And just like she said, she came back. Juvia came back for all of her nakamas and especially Gray-sama…" she explained to me in her serious, but quaky tone.

I was speechless afterwards. She had made me realized so many things at that moment that I just couldn't comprehend quick enough. Juvia was right about one thing. I did everything for the sake of her and our nakamas of Fairy Tail. Without any of them in my life, I probably wouldn't have had a reason to live.

I finally get to hear that she still cares for me and loves me after everything she had been through. She will always be the one who'll be there for me when I need someone. And I'm glad that she's back. I'm glad that my Juvia is finally back to me…

I glanced back at her and noticed tears were threatening to fall. I took her face into my hand and wiped the tears with the tip of my thumb.

"Shh. It's ok Juvia. I understand now. Sorry and also thank you so much," I said to her trying to calm her down.

I placed my head on hers and we just stayed that way for a moment. I finally gave her a small peck on the forehead and held her hand. We began walking towards the guild side by side with each other. Juvia blushed at the small gestures. I was happy that she was happy. I was happy that she is with me.

"This time I will never let you go, Juvia. Never again…" I said to her softly as I looked up at the falling snow from above. I then looked back at her and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Hmm. Neither will Juvia, Gray-sama…" Juvia hummed in agreement.


AHHHH. I'M LIKE BASICALLY FINISHED RIGHT NOW! XD I will post probably 1 last chapter where everyone else in the guild is in it and meets Juvia again. I hope u guys like this ending for the both of them. I won't be able to post the other chapter right away. Maybe next week. But I hope u will enjoy!
