ΩΩΩ

Rain drenched and cold with her eyes down cast, Juvia accepted the shirt Gray quietly offered to her. Afraid to break the silence that loomed over the place she silently went into the bathroom inside the ice mage's bedroom to get rid of her dumped clothes.

She could have easily dried herself using her magic but Juvia didn't have the energy to use more of her power after her fight with Gray. And going in the bathroom would actually a little helpful for her to escape the quiet room even just for a minute.

Though the quite eerie stillness was somehow awkward it's still acceptable as they both do not know how to start a casual conversation after what just occurred at the riverbank. The dark clouds that hanged between them for days were gone but after such fight neither Juvia nor Gray got any idea what to say for they knew they are somewhat the kind of pair who never really needed words to understand what the other feels.

The kiss they shared under the rain was enough. Or at least for the meantime it was.

Shedding her dress, Juvia quickly put on Gray's clean shirt and scrutinized her reflection in the mirror. Emotions danced in her blue eyes when she recognized the shirt she's wearing as the one Gray was wearing the night dragons flooded the street of Crocus after the Grand Magic Games. Dream-like memories filled her mind.

Blinking twice she looked away from the mirror and left the bathroom, not wishing to linger more in the shadow of a not so distant past where she knew she almost lose Gray permanently.

She closed the bathroom door with a thud not caring anymore about the silence.

From his spot on the chair beside his window, Gray averted his eyes from staring at the now clear skies to the face of the blue haired siren that he thought would take forever inside his bathroom. Hunger filled his eyes as he took in her appearance wearing only his shirt obviously not wearing anything under. The shirt reached the middle of her creamy thigh showing off her guild mark and he had to curse under his breath. He knew one day those legs of hers will be the death of him. They just seemed to go on and on.

But that's not the matter at hands as of the moment.

Removing his glowing hand from one of the bruises Juvia managed to left on his anatomy during their fight, he stood up and looked thoroughly in her eyes. There's gloom shadowing her blue eyes and he wondered just what exactly crossed her mind that she got such forlorn expression again. "You okay? Is something the matter?"

Juvia shook her head as she herself took in his appearance. Still clad in his soaked clothes, he surprisingly still had it on, worry got the best of her. "Shouldn't you change into something dry?" Not because he's an ice mage means he could not catch a cold being soaked like he was. She's a water mage but she knew she too wasn't immune to sickness caused by nature. No one is.

Seeing that her concern was genuine and the shadows in her eyes were replaced by worry, Gray gave Juvia a half smile before tugging on his clothes. In a blink of an eye his garments were gone without a care that he's not alone in the room. It wasn't like it's the first time that Juvia was going to see what he got under his clothes. His body is something that somehow became public scenery over time. Juvia used to be so embarrassed before when he's in all his naked glory but that changed rapidly during the time they spent living together and when they started dating she became more accustomed to the close proximity of his naked body. But she still do ogle him a lot of times just like at that moment and it made him smirk in spite of their situation . It's good to know that she's still as affected of him the way he's so affected of her.

Juvia rolled her eyes and took it upon herself to look for something her boyfriend could wear. She went to his closet and rummage through file of clothes for an article of clothing that he would be comfortable in. At the end she just took a pair of boxers and tossed it to him. "I'm starving. " she mumbled under her breath. "Would you mind if Juvia trespass in your kitchen?"

"You know there's really no need to ask." After putting on his boxers Gray closed the distance between them and maneuvered Juvia outside his room and towards his kitchen. "What do you want to eat?"

"Is Gray-sama going to cook for Juvia?" she asked surprised knowing perfectly well how ungifted he was when it comes to preparing food. "Could Gray-sama actually cook anything?"

"Miraculously I know the art of boiling water," he sarcastically said that elicited small giggles from her that made him frown. "I'm just asking you what you want to eat so I can get you what you need to cook it or whatever you would do with it. I'm just trying to be helpful just so you know," he scowled that turned Juvia's giggles into loud laughers that etched deeper frown upon the ice mage's face.

Composing herself Juvia moved towards him and hooked her arms around his neck. At that moment everything felt so right.

Gray was his usual self just exactly how she remembered him as her Gray-sama. Grumpy yet caring.

As for her, she's back to her cheerful self. Playful but her not so innocent advances towards Gray were no longer unreciprocated – and that's something not unwelcome.

Her cat-like beautiful blue eyes trained on his eyes down to his lips unaware that the look she was giving Gray was making him a little smothered with each passing nanoseconds. She's completely oblivious of the invisible fire she's burning him with. The ice mage ain't complaining though.

Time stood still as they looked at each other and no one knew for sure who made the first move, all what Juvia could recall was when Gray looked back at her with such hunger in his eyes she never witnessed before all her thoughts completely slipped out of her mind.

Nothing matter at that moment other than Gray and his kiss that was slowly melting and bending her just like how he did with his magic. He's doing it just perfectly.

The kiss went on as they both linger at the electrifying sensation that coursed between them. They'd shared kisses before and all were breathtaking and heartfelt but both of them knew nothing could be compared to the one they're currently sharing.

It's not one of those clumsy smooches they loved to steal when no one was looking.

It's way too far from those lustful ones they shared when they were alone.

It can't even be compared to the slow lip lock Gray bestowed her to tell her in action just how much he feels for her.

All those kisses were great but not even close to how spellbound they both felt at that moment.

Gray's very breath whispered to her heart as he deepened the kiss and he did not just touched her lips but her very soul.

How it felt so much better than the first one they shared must be due to the fact that it was the first time they both felt that their emotions were rooted at the same place at the same time. Nothing was forced by fear of losing each other to the grim shadows of what they'd been through.

It didn't felt like something they must do to keep each other but rather to breathe life into each other's soul to know that whatever happens they were there to stay for one another.

"Gray-sama –!" Juvia gasped when their lips parted for a fraction of second before Gray captured her mouth one more time in a deep soulful kiss she could not help but reciprocate with same intensity. When at last he let her go they were both out of breath and there's deep emotion dancing in their eyes.

Gray's forehead rested on hers as he cupped her face in his hands. His eyes on hers. "Kami knows how thankful I am to have you in my life, Juvia." He murmured in a tone that struck a cord inside her. "I can't and I don't want to think of a life without you in it."

Coherent thoughts failed her. All Juvia could do was stare back at Gray's dark eyes and awaited yet another kiss from him.

When it came time seemed to stop.

It was then that she knew she's at last ready to give him whatever she haven't given yet.

Her heart, body and mind were screaming at her all at once that it's finally time to give him her everything.

Finally they found their lost rhythm, their perfect harmony of emotions.

A symphony that only their hearts could understand.

As she looked at him she could see the boy that saved her from falling to her death that day she first saw the sun shining down on her.

She's finally looking at the eyes that reassures her that whatever happens, the world may burn down to nothing but as long as they have faith in each other nothing could go wrong.

Juvia felt like after the war she's finally breathing again.

In haze of emotions Juvia was vaguely aware of how she ended up propelled up against the kitchen wall, her legs straddling Gray's hips as his hands supported her buttoms. Her arms were wounded around his shoulders as her hands raked the dark tendrils of his disheveled hair. His lips were not on hers but gracing her neck with hungry wild wet kisses. She could feel him sucking and nipping her skin, branding her as his.

Gasps and moans filled the air around them and they were no longer sure if they were hearing themselves or the other. All they knew were the raw emotions their heated passion were evoking from the deepest recesses of their being.

Juvia struggled for breath and her hands pulled hard on his hair when Gray gave a particular stroke of his tongue just below the sensitive spot on her ear. His name passed her kiss swollen lips like plea as his hot breath continued to tease her sensitive skin. His scent distorting all coherent thoughts inside her brain.

Her nails dug deeper on his back when his hands started to wander her body. First he squeezed hard on her ass before trekking up her spine hitching up the shirt she's wearing and completely taking it off of her in such a quick pace only Gray Fullbuster could accomplish leaving her all bare for his eyes to feast on. His hands were on her breast in no time, kneading and making her writhe with pleasure.

The sounds she's making were powerful enough to stir him more than enough that he can explode by just listening to her but he'll have time for that after he made sure that they were both on the same track. "Are you sure you want this, Juvia?" Gray breathed out looking straight in her eyes. In throes of passion he still wanted to make sure that what they were doing is what she wants. There's nothing else that matter but her wishes and desires.

Juvia appreciates how much he's considering all that she wanted but at that moment she only want him to take what he knew to be already his from the very beginning. "Does Juvia really have to say it out loud for Gray-sama to be convinced that Juvia really wants what we are doing right now and more?" she asked in return with eyes hooded by unrestrained yearning for him. She gasped a little and bit her lower lip quite seductively when she grinded her naked body against his that made him groan. "Stop – ahhh… trying to talk me out of it. There's no way Juvia will let you stop now uhmmm… Gray-sama… Juvia is – all yours." Unlike before, she's feeling neither shame nor embarrassment regarding the fact that Gray could see all of her.

After all that they'd been through since the war ended and the past few days, shame seemed to be the last thing in her mind. Their intimacy restriction to each other had gone with all their pent up issues with each other and their relationship. It's about time for them to step over the line.

"Fuck it!" Gray hissed and Juvia unsexily squeaked when he hastily cradled her body tight against him and spun around with determined strides towards his bedroom. "Don't say I didn't talk you out of it. There's so much I wanna do with you, Juvia. All these weeks of only touching and agonizing days of not being close to you, God knows what I wanna do."

Juvia's laughers filled the air and she was giggling like a fool when Gray unceremoniously dropped her on his bed. "Do whatever you like, Gray-sama. You know Juvia only belongs to you and there's nothing I won't do for you," she said looking up on him. The playfulness in his eyes turned her laughs into a tempting smile as she pulled him on top of her. "I love you."

He smiled and gave her a lingering kiss on the mouth. "I know," he murmured still touching her lips. "And I love you."

As much as Juvia wanted to stare at the man she loves, her eyes closed on their own as she felt Gray's lips touched her mouth so gently it felt like butterfly wings gracing her lips. He did not fully kiss her like she expected. Instead he showered her face with tiny little kisses making sure that there's no spot left untouched. First he pecked on her nose dragging the kiss up her forehead then down to her right cheek and across to the left then back to her temples.

For someone who got lots in mind to do with her, her Gray-sama is taking it really sweet and slow.

She smiled and hummed when his lips went down her jaw and Gray's breath tickled her skin. His hands were caressing her shoulders down the underside of her breast fueling the sensation burning inside her. "Gra—yy…" her own hands moved and found his head. Her fingers tangled in his hair pulling him closer to her.

When their lips finally met, she let him set the pace. She returned what he gave and reciprocated the emotion he's putting in that kiss. There's no hurry in their movement. Every stroke of his tongue in her mouth, she felt it with burning fervor. Their lip lock lasted for more than a couple of minutes before Gray kissed his way down to her neck and Juvia gasped and nibbled her lower lip when he sucked on her skin. She's pretty sure he's going leave marks all over her just like the way he likes it.

For a moment Gray moved away a little from her to look down and admire his handy work on her neck and a satisfied smirk assured her that she'll need all her turtle necks for the coming days. "Happy much?" she can't help but tease him in a hoarse sexy voice.

His smirk widened. "Very. That will ensure me that you won't be stripping around the guild for a few days," he said in a raspy voice. "I know you'll be too shy to be tease about it that you'll all be conscious around those idiots at the guild," he added leaning down to whisper on her ear. "I really hate that you got that stupid habit of mine but I certainly don't mind when you're all naked around me."

Letting out a hearty chuckle Juvia hooked an arm around Gray's neck. "Then Juvia must mark her territory as well," she said dragging one finger from his shoulder down his spine that brought tingling sensation all over his body. "Where should I put it Gray-sama? Here?"

Her free hand touched his neck but Gray grabbed it and placed it on his left chest. "Haven't you already put your mark here?" his whispered with dark eyes looking at her.

"Did I?"

The ice mage just hummed before flipping them over. He placed his hands on her waist as she straddled him. "You certainly did but I won't stop you if you want to add few more marks."

Juvia adjusted on top of him and she had to close her eyes and bite her lips when her core rubbed on his barely covered manhood. She could feel how aroused he is and it just made her even hotter for him. She must be literally boiling inside with such body heat she's feeling at that moment. Her fingers raked his chest as she attempted to move her body against his. Gray's own fingers on her waist dug deeper on her skin as she threw her head backwards.

Kami, they're just dry humping each other and the sensation she's feeling were already overwhelming. How much more if they actually made love?

"Juvia," Gray growled her name. "Stop torturing me! I don't think I can hold much longer."

He pulled her down towards her with such force and smashed his lips on her with so much hunger as his hands deftly moved to remove all barrier between them. In no time Juvia could feel one of his hands between her thighs.

The room was filled with the erotic noises they were making as they both danced in the rhythm of primal song of love. Each caress he gave her set her senses into fire and every sound she made fuel his desire.

Gray's hands explored Juvia's body to his heart's content basking on the joyous feeling of not needing to stop when things gets too much.

ΩΩΩ

"Gray-sama," Juvia called out her boyfriend's name after she came back down to earth after the last mind blowing explosion of emotion Gray gave her. Humming his response, the ice mage lifted up his head from where he was burrowed on her soft breast. "We forgot that Juvia's starving," she said with a face flushed red as her stomach growled.

Her face contorted when Gray's shoulders started to shake indicating that he's laughing at her. Juvia lifted her hands to pinch both of his cheeks that only made him laugh even harder than before. "You're so awful, Gray-sama! Why are you laughing at Juvia?" Out of annoyance she pushed him off of her and quickly grabbed the discarded blanket to cover her nakedness. She winced when she made a sudden movement as the pain between her legs returned along with the stinging soreness caused by their love making.

Damn! She's a wizard and pain is a constant in her life. Why can't she be exempted to the pain of losing her virginity? It's not like its worse than being beat up by enemies from time to time but it's really hard for her to move. Maybe it had something to do with Gray being well endowed and her body being new to it. Her face flushed again with that thought. So much for the price she had to pay for such a wonderful time with her beloved. Such the saying goes: no pain, no gain.

Well, she definitely gained.

"Are you okay?" Gray asked as he watched her ceasing his own laughers. He could clearly see the discomfort written all over her face.

"Juvia is fine. Justalittlesoredijstgbhxd," she incoherently replied with her cheeks popping red.

"What?"

"I said I'm fine!"

Gray frowned when Juvia winced again. If she's fine why does she look like she's in some kind of pain? And why the hell was she all red? It certainly had nothing to do with hunger. "Look, you don't look fine to me. Tell me what is wrong because I'm genuinely clueless."

"Of course you are." Juvia made a face before rolling her eyes uncharacteristically. She knew she talk a lot and tease Gray a lot with so much sexual innuendo but that didn't change the fact that she's actually innocent to these kind of things. She never really had a chance to explore deeper things that happens in relationships since no relationship of hers lasted long enough for her to do any exploration.

"Hey, don't be mad. I'm just asking."

"Juvia is sore!" she blurted out. "Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Sore?" Gray still look clueless for a few seconds before realization donned on him. "Oh! You're – I'm sorry. Was I too rough?" he asked already moving her legs apart to look at what he did on her that almost made Juvia shriek.

"Gray-sama! I'm fine! Just a little sore. There's no need to look at it!" she rumbled with face flushed red.

"I just wanna make sure. It's really no big deal," he reasoned. "It's not like I'm going to look at something I'd never seen before. Hell, I just had you in all ways possible."

Juvia's already flushed face got even more flushed with his words and only pouted with his remarks. "It's different now."

"How so?" Gray arched his brow before letting out a chuckle when she shyly averted his eyes. "Okay, I get it," he said standing up. "You wait here," he added before walking towards his bathroom.

Bewildered with what's up with her boyfriend Juvia slowly fixed herself on the bed while waiting for him to return in the room. When he came back after more than ten minutes he went straight to her and without a word lifted her up. "Gray-sama! What are you doing?"

"I'm gonna make you feel better."

"What?" He did not give her an answer and just carried her inside the bathroom where she saw his tub filled with water. "Gray-sama?" she looked at him even more confused.

"It's a warm bath. You said you're sore and it's my fault so here I am trying to be a good boyfriend and doing my best to take care of you. The water will soothe you," he explained as he lowered her down into the tub and true to his words it's warm.

When her skin touched the warm water she can't help but hummed with satisfaction.

She gasped when she felt Gray's hands dip in the water and went between her thighs. Juvia gave him a surprised look. "You're tempting but I'm not heartless," he muttered. "I know you're hurt so I'm just going to help you wash and make you feel better. I'll have you again when I know it won't be painful for you."

The side of her lips lifted up when she smiled. "Thank you, Gray-sama."

Gray just pecked on her lips and did not say anything. He helped her cleaned up and finish her bath before carrying her back to his room. He made her wear one of his shirt again before gently pushing her back to bed. "You rest for a while. I'll just go out and get some take out so we can have something to eat."

"Juvia can just cook h—"

"Nope," he interrupted her. "You're not going to do anything but rest. I love the food you cook but you're tired so just let me handle this. I'll be back in no time."

Juvia chuckled and gave him a smile. "Gray-sama is so sweet."

Gray's cheek turned red and he looked away from her. "I am not!"

She just laughed and let him leave while grumbling something about stupid sweet things.

Her laughers died down when she heard the front door closed and a contented smile etched on her lips.

They had a long day but so far it was good.

She knew they're just beginning to actually have a real relationship and that it's not going to be easy but at least she's confident that they would handle it and in every other situation and hopefully even if it sometimes rain on them there will be no more heavy storms.
