I suck at updating and I'm so sorry. I post better on Tumblr and always forget to update here, sorry guys. Have a sick Gray being nursed by his beautiful girlfriend Juvia.

Hack. Cough. Moan

"Gray-sama is everything alright?!"

Another moan, "Just a cold."

Juvia stared at the bedroom door as she cleaned the kitchen from last night's party. She couldn't remember anyone being sick… Except for Natsu, who was getting over his cold. That explained that, and the grumpy ice mage in the bedroom. Gray didn't get sick often Juvia wasn't sure how to do this. She wasn't used to taking care of people back in Phantom Lord no one messed with anyone else.

"Do you want anything?"

She strained to hear his reply after another fit of coughing he responded, "Could you get some medicine from the store?"

"Of course!" Medicine, yes, why didn't she think of that sooner. She ran to the bedroom for her shoes and stopped when she saw Gray lying miserably on the bed. His face was flushed and just like him with no clothes on but under the blankets at least. He started hacking again, and it was wet and sounded awful breaking her heart. She walked over to him and rested her hand on his head.

"You're burning up! This is more than a cold."

"It's just a cold, don't worry about it." He looked at her from under hooded eyes, and any other time she would be jumping into that bed with him, but there wasn't any heat behind those eyes just pain. She swallowed rubbing at her chest; she had to help him.

"Juvia is going to get a cold rag," She went to the bathroom grabbed a towel and went to the kitchen for some ice and water to cool him off. Once everything was ready, she walked to the bedroom and placeda a towel over his forehead. She grabbed another blanket and put it on top of him. "Juvia is going to take care of you."

He looked at her again and nodded his head in acknowledgment. She would! First thing first she needed to buy some medicine. Just as she was about to get up he grabbed her wrist. "Don't… leave."

It broke her heart to hear him so defeated! She wanted to sob, but this was only a cold, and he would get through it. "Okay, Juvia will wait."

Until he fell asleep that was when, she would be out that door to get his medicine. Leaving him alone was the lesser of the two evils, because leaving him sick was worse. She caressed his face, and he leaned into her hand. He sighed contently and began snoring softly. Now was her time but leaving him was hard. She lifted the towel kissed his head and replaced the towel with a fresh one.

She stood at the doorjamb watching him, "Juvia will be back before you know it."

"Which one?!" She stood in the pharmacy staring at all the cold medicines in front of her. Why was there so many medicines all for the same thing?! What difference did it make?! Which would be the best for Gray? Why didn't she ask for all his symptoms before she left?

"Are you okay?" She glared at the person who dared interrupt her inner monolog, and they took two steps back. She stopped and gave them a sad smile.

"Sorry, no. Juvia doesn't know which one to get." She stared helplessly at the employee next to her, and he seemed to think about it.

"Most people have been getting this one," he picked up a purple box, "for the winter colds. It seems to work best. This one also helps too." He took an orange box handing them to her.

"Thank you so much!" She held the boxes gently they were the answer to her Gray-sama's illness, and she would treat them accordingly. They walked together to the register, and he helped her with her check out.

"So who's the lucky man to have you taking care of him?" She blushed at his question and stared at her medicines.

"Juvia's boyfriend, Gray-sama." He seemed taken aback by that.

"Gray from Fairy Tail?" she nodded her head, "I-ugh-hope he feels better. Please don't tell him about this!" The guy seemed terrified of Gray finding out. She turned her head in confusion of his fear, perhaps he recalled her earlier glare.

"Why not? You were very helpful to Juvia."

"Oh god, don't phrase it like that! One of my buds told me he got beaten up for looking at Gray's girlfriend. I had no idea it was you, and I was flirting! I'm dead; I'm so dead."

Juvia frowned at him and touched his hand gently, "Your secret is safe Juvia won't tell."

He drew his hand back, "Here's your medicine."

She left with a small wave, and he smiled slightly still uncomfortable with the way he was fidgeting. Well, at least Gray-sama was sick so he couldn't do anything to the poor guy about it now. She grinned thinking about that. He really did care about her enough to beat someone up without her knowing just because of the way he looked at her.

She unlocked the apartment to find a disgruntled and angry Gray waiting for her. It would have been terrifying if he didn't look so pitiful under his blanket and with a red nose. He spoke up with a rough voice from the coughing, "Where were you?"

"Getting you medicine." She lifted the bag for him to see, and he frowned. "You told Juvia to get medicine."

"I also told you to stay," he sounded all nasally.

"Juvia just wants Gray-sama to feel better, so the medicine had to come first, but now we have it, so Juvia has no reason to leave again." He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her encasing her in his heat both from the blanket and his body. He was still burning, and it worried her that he was out of bed, but for now she'd enjoy the embrace.

"Come on let's get you to bed." He jerked his head but from where she stood on his chest she couldn't see in which direction. "You need to rest, Gray-sama."

"No, I want to hold you instead." He started to lean heavily on her.

"You need sleep!" She pulled back and started guiding him to the bed. He shuffled behind her and fell with a flomp onto the bed rearranging the blanket to be on top of him instead of under. "Better?"

"No." He scowled at her, and she frowned in response. Now he was just being stubborn.

"Why not?"

"Because you're not here with me." She felt her face flush and her heart flutter.

"First we have to get you better so take your medicine." She grabbed the medicine from the bag and pulled it out measuring enough for him and handed him the little cup. He took it one big gulp made a sour face and gave it back to her. To distract him, she told him about the attendant.

He frowned at the end of her story and responded, "What's his name?"

"Gray-sama you're in no condition to fight anyone. Besides he stopped once, he realized Juvia was taken." He seemed to relax slightly about that and after a moment held his arms open.

She easily leaned into him and started cuddling against him. He started rubbing her back and caressing her hair. "Thanks for taking care of me."

"Anytime." She got up ready to kiss him, but he covered his mouth when she got near. She frowned feeling the tears prickle at the corner of her eyes.

"Sorry, but no. The last thing we need is two sick people in one house." Logical but it still hurt to be rejected! "Come here."

He pulled her back to him and kissed the top of her head. They stayed like that until both of them fell asleep resting in each other's warmth.
