Juvia woke up in the most comfortable way possible. At first, Juvia doesn't really know why this is, Juvia just assumed that she got in a good posture last night. Then the smell of apple smoke and cooking food entered Juvia's senses. Feeling around, Juvia found parts of her bed that is warmer than others, so she cuddled to the warm spots, sighing in bliss at the new-found heat enveloping Juvia's body. Something gentle brushed Juvia's back along with her hair. It squeezed Juvia's frame tightly, but not hurting her. The longer Juvia stayed like this, the more curious she got. When was Juvia's bed this nice? Finally losing against Juvia's human instinct, Juvia opened her eyes.

Pink.

A mop of pink hair entered Juvia's vision, then Natsu's face slowly solidified into the perfect man complete with wild features like his aforementioned hair or his canine that pokes out of his mouth. That's right, Juvia's wish became true, Natsu is now Juvia's boyfriend. Just thinking of it gives a warm feeling in Juvia's heart. Natsu shuffled beneath Juvia, a tired groan escaped his mouth, and his sharp eyes opened.

"Morn…" Natsu yawned. "…ing."

"Good morning to you, sleepy head."

"What is there to eat?" Natsu said, sleep still having some control over his voice.

"Is that all you think of? What about Juvia?" Juvia intended to get Natsu in a hot-spot and tease him.

"I think about your cooking, is that good enough?" Natsu's response was unexpected, Juvia was hoping for a less smooth answer…how vexing.

"Passable." Juvia got off Natsu's chest and stretched. "Juvia will cook your meal now, any request?"

"Anything filling, I'm starving."

"Juvia understands, it'll take a while though, please take some snacks in Juvia's bag in the meantime." Juvia took out some herbs, spices and other ingredients before going to start a fire with the help of Natsu that was chewing on some jerky. Juvia hummed as she cooked—Juvia is in a good mood after all—sending pleasant cooking into the air, attracting local animals and making Natsu's drool fall on the ground.

"Is it done yet?"

"This is the third time you asked Natsu, no it isn't, you can't just rush cooking and expect it to taste good. Isn't there still some jerky left?"

"I ate them all." While Juvia would've been surprised if this was anyone else but Natsu, Juvia has a good grasp on his appetite by now, so Juvia just sighed and continued with her task.

"Let's head back to the beach now, we still have time, should we play a bit before leaving?" Juvia said while cleaning up the cooking tools.

"Sure! Anything if I don't have to get on that thing, I'll go with anything that you suggest."

"Then hurry up! Juvia wants to wear her swimsuit." Juvia reminded of the tent that Natsu has yet to take down.

"Yeah, yeah."


Now at the clearing, Juvia left the bags in Natsu's care and went behind a large rock, hands clinging to a light blue bikini.

"Remember, don't peak."

"Got ittt…" Natsu slurred, clearly tired of Juvia's orders. While Juvia was changing, she was thinking of Natsu's reactions to her bikini. From the time that Juvia has known Natsu, he really didn't show much perversion, only a few times, and most of them wasn't directed towards Juvia. What if Natsu doesn't find Juvia attractive? Will he dump Juvia if that's the case? Juvia really doesn't like showing skin, Juvia is starting to have second guesses…

Juvia found Natsu packing a pile of sand into a dome, sticking a twig in the middle and looking cheerfully at his creation.

"Thanks for waiting…" Juvia walked to Natsu with her left arm wrapped around her chest. Natsu just stared at Juvia, not saying anything, making Juvia even more nervous than before. "W—well, d—does it look strange?" More silence. "Juvia will go change back then…"

"Why?"

"You're not saying anything because you don't want to hurt Juvia's feeling right?"

"No, I just don't know what to say."

"Just say it! It hurts not knowing what you're thinking…"

"You're pretty." Juvia's mind drew a blank. "It really suits you, a bit too well."

"T—thank You…"

"What's wrong? You look weird."

"No—nothing! Come on, let's go for a swim." Juvia point to the boat we came from. "The first one to reach the ship and come back again wins."

"What happens if I win?"

"You don't need to worry about that, Juvia will win without a doubt."

"But it's no fun without a reward."

"Fine, the loser will treat the winner to a meal."

"I'm all fired up now!" Juvia made an orb of water.

"When this orb falls to the ground, we go."

"Got it!" Once gravity took hold of Juvia's creation and touched the ground. The two of us dove right into the water, Juvia used her magic to propel her along the water while swimming. Natsu was lagging behind as expected, he was saying how unfair it was to use magic but Juvia ignored him to touch the hull of the boat and began her way back. Just when Juvia crossed paths with Natsu, He grabbed Juvia's leg and pulled Juvia into a bearhug.

"Na—Natsu! Let go!"

"And let you win? No way."

"Then Juvia has no choice." Juvia dissolved her body into water briefly, slipped out of Natsu's grasp and reformed outside of his reach. "You better get swimming Natsu, or you'll have to treat Juvia to a meal!" Juvia sped off again, wanting to prevent the same thing from happening again. Although…Juvia wouldn't mind it under different circumstances…

"Cheater!"

"You agreed to this!" Juvia said while reaching shallow water. "And now you owe Juvia a meal." Natsu came up on shore with an unhappy face. "Don't be like that, it's not like the great fire dragon slayer can't pay a meal for Juvia."

"I was planning to clean you out!" Natsu huffed, folding his arms together, drawing a giggle from Juvia at Natsu's silliness.

"Since you're sulking like this, Juvia will just explore the sea around the island by herself." Juvia held out her hand to invite him but, it seems like he didn't see it, let alone taking it.

"I'm not sulking!"

"Then, grab Juvia's hand."

"Why?"

"Do you want to dive underwater or not?" Natsu took Juvia's hand to which Juvia guided him underwater by using her magic to create a bubble around us, giving us access to a beautiful view of the underwater world.

Since the water was clear, we could see pretty far, schools of fish swam in the distance; corals waved along the currents; light shimmered through the water, lighting up everything in a wonderful green-blue shade. Thousands of aquatic life that Juvia can't identify pasted us, some ignored us, other looked at us with interest.

"Look at that huge fish!" Natsu pointed to a giant purple fish swimming ahead of us. "I wonder if I eat it?"

"Natsu! Don't ruin this moment!"

"I can't help it!"

"Yes you can, stop focusing on your stomach for once."

"Then…" Natsu pulled Juvia's hand, shifting her weight to Natsu's body. He then wrapped Juvia into a warm hug. "you can't complain now, can you?"

"So suddenly!?"

"Sorry Juvia, I've been thinking about these kinds of thing lately, just this morning, you can blame Gildarts for that." Natsu muttered something about Gildarts-san being a perverted old man but, Juvia was too focused on Natsu's arms that was on Juvia's back, his head on Juvia's scruff, his abs pressed against Juvia's navel. It was too stimulating for Juvia to process anything else.

"Umm…err Natsu?"

"Yeah?" Juvia returned the hug, snaking her arms under Natsu's and rubbed his back.

"C—can we stay like this for a bit longer?"

"Sure." Natsu's moved Juvia even closer, giving Juvia an even stronger sense of safety. One of these days, Juvia will be the one the catch him off-guard, and not the other way around.

When we separated, we moved closer to the schools of fish, they generally swam away from us, so we when down to the corals. Corals with bright colours surrounded us, ranging from huge ones the size of humans to tiny ones that can fit in Juvia's palm. Moving to the seafloor, we looked for interesting things that were dropped by other travelers like us. Natsu found a necklace and Juvia picked up a fishing pole, rusted from the years of abandonment. We decided to leave our findings right where we found it, mainly because we have no need for them.

"That was fun!" Natsu grinned as he sat down on the sandy beach after our dive underwater. Juvia joined him and we sat under the bright sun, enjoying each other's company while chatting, drawing plenty of laughter from Juvia's lips. We moved under a tree to make sure we don't get sunburn once Juvia realized Juvia didn't pack anything to deal with it. Juvia leaned against Natsu's shoulder as we talked about how we should announce our new relationship.

"Why don't we just tell them flat-out?"

"It's because Juvia will get bombarded with questions."

"Just answer them all and they'll shut up after a while."

"Easy for you to say, guys aren't as nosy as girls."

"Them do you want to keep it a secret?"

"No! Other girls will try to get close to you, Juvia…doesn't want…that."

"But the girls at the guild aren't interested in me."

"Juvia is talking about the girls we'll encounter during jobs. You really didn't notice the stares some girls were giving you?"

"Nope!"

"Never mind then, Juvia will think about this later, we'll have some food and leave this island."

"B—but that means—"

"Sorry, we have no choice, Juvia will do her best to help you." Natsu's groans echoed throughout the island.


Natsu was fast asleep in his usual position when travelling, and Juvia was playing with hand-size water dolls, it would dance, do some posing and play with other water dolls. This type of entertainment is something that Juvia would do a lot as a child—and served as unconscious magical training at the same time—doing this again did bring back some sad memories but, the weight of Natsu's head overrode most of it. What would Juvia do without you?

Juvia began to observe Natsu's symptoms when he's motion sick in hopes to help him. He told Juvia that he would first get really dizzy and after that he doesn't really know what happens after that because the 'torture' following was too strong, so it's up to Juvia's eyes for the rest. Natsu would turn pale shortly after his dizziness, then his vomiting would start and it's all downhill from there.

Juvia has discovered that Natsu tends to sleep quicker if Juvia would rub his back as opposed to patting his hair. Of course, knocking him out gets the fastest results, but it hurts—both for Natsu and Juvia—to do something like that so Juvia only did it once and has never done it since.

Waking Natsu up is always a joy, Juvia can get really creative since he's a heavy sleeper. Juvia tried crude things like dropping him to the floor—Juvia was mad at the time—and splashing him with water. It can also range to more fun things like sticking a piece of jerky down his mouth and watch Natsu slowly chew on it as the flavours wake him up. Or pouring the spiciest concoction Juvia could make at the time down his throat—this one is Juvia's favourite. Today, in the spirit of being a good girlfriend, Juvia felt like a gentler approach.

Juvia shook his shoulders while whispering commands in Natsu's ear, blowing in them once that was useless. The tickling of Natsu's ears seems to shake him slightly, so Juvia leaned in closer and tried again, adding in a decision to caress Natsu's cheek. Natsu yawned cutely, stretching in an exaggerated manner.

"Morning Juvia."

"Good morning, it's time for breakfast, Juvia asked for something that you can eat quickly so you can get back to sleep." Juvia held a sandwich to Natsu's mouth. "Open up."

"You're…the best uhh…" After Natsu was done with his meal, Juvia tried to place her hand on Natsu's forehead to see if it helps Natsu in sleeping. It's a bit slower than stroking his hair, so Juvia listed it as the least effective way to make Natsu sleep that's tested so far tested. One day, Juvia will reduce Natsu's pain in the best way possible.


Juvia gave five Summerburn Mushrooms to Wilbur-san. He examined them with an expert eye, turning to the 'gills' at the bottom, rubbing at the red beads.

"This is some high-quality Summerburn, I can cure my patient with this, Thank You."

"No need to thank us, we are paid to do this, plus we had fun on the island."

"Yeah, don't sweat it pops!"

"Then, it's my turn to keep my side of the bargain." Wilbur-san gave the exact amount to us. "Thank You once again, if possible, may I employ you two again if I have more things to procure?"

"If that's the case, you can hire anyone of our guild, Juvia is sure that we'll be able to fulfill your request regardless who it is."

"I'll follow your advice then."

Another peaceful train ride later, we were finally back home! During this time, Juvia just decided to walk into the guild with Natsu while latching onto his arm. It's the most couple-like thing Juvia could've thought of during the train ride. Much to Natsu's complaints about how hard it is to move, Juvia didn't let go of the right forearm. Natsu wasn't able to kick the door as hard but, it was still hard enough to bang the door open.

"We're back!" Natsu roared. The guild was in the middle of welcoming us back when it stopped abruptly. The noise erupted again, filled with surprise and disbelief, gossip flew across the guild; money was handed over to different owners.

"Congratulations you two!" Lucy came over with a full smile. "Juvia, you finally did it!"

"Yes!"

"Shut up you brats!" Master's voice boomed. "I know that this is shocking news, however, we have still yet to do one thing…party!" Excited cheers ruled the guild, and the party started.


Thanks for reading! Was the intimacy between Natsu and Juvia a bit too abrupt?

There we go, my summer themed arc, wish I did write a bit more about the warmer climate, but I couldn't really find a good fit.

I also don't have as much things to say this time, except I hope that you enjoyed, and let me know what you think!
