Day 3- Bloom

Juvia's eyes widen at the pieces of paper in her hands, "Gray-sama is this yours?"

Gray, who was busy drying the dishes, almost dropped the plate in his hands when he saw Juvia holding the pieces of paper.

"Shit." He mumbled to himself. He was one-hundred percent sure he had put them away, out of sight, but then again he had been tired from training yesterday.

Placing both the plate and the towel on the counter, he walked toward Juvia. Lots of pieces of paper were scattered on the table infront of her, all drawings of people.

He saw Juvia stared all of them in awe. "Did you drew this Gray-sama?" She was holding up a drawing of his teacher, Ur.

It was only her face, but even he had to admit he had done a pretty good job drawing it. Her hair perfectly reached the middle of her neck, just like she liked it; her dark eyes seemed to shine with happiness despite their darkness; and her smile, her rare genuine smile, that she only showed whenever he and Lyon argued about who was the best student and she will break them apart, smiling, saying that both were her best students and that she loved both of them no matter what. They would always blush and looked somewhere else while she laughed. He was actually proud of himself for getting her smile on paper, he wouldn't want to forget about it.

He nodded scratching the back of his neck. "Um, yeah..."

She smiled and looked down to stare at the rest of his drawings. They were drawings of his father, his teacher, Ultear, Lyon, and of the entire guild, even Natsu.

Though something was missing... Or rather someone...

"Why isn't Juvia here, Gray-sama?" Juvia asked with a sad pout.

He blushed and looked somewhere else so she wouldn't notice. "Um, I kind of have a..." He coughed, "special portfolio for... you." By now Gray had no doubt his cheeks were red as Erza's hair.

Juvia blushed red, eyes wide, and took hold of the table to support her jelly knees. "G-Gray-sama has a s-special portfolio for Juvia?" Gray knew she was trying hard to stay conscious but decided to ignore it for the moment.

"Y-yeah..." He mumbled still blushing.

Juvia slowly straighten herself, releasing the table, and took a deep breath; her cheeks still red. "C-can Juvia see them?"

If possible, Gray's blushed darken and he nodded, avoiding eye contact with her. "Sure..." He left the room for a few minutes then came back with a black portfolio in his hands.

Gray handed her the portfolio, still not looking at her, and shoved his hands on his pockets.

Juvia slowly opened the portfolio and gasped at the drawings inside. Indeed, the drawings were only of her. One of them was of her smiling, another of her laughing, another was of her sleeping with the sunlinght coming from a window shining down on her, another of her laughing under the rain, and so it went on and on.

But only one caught her full attention. The only one with colors.

It was a drawing of a flower. A blue flower. Her petals were closed, hiding a treasure inside. Below the closed blue flower was another blue flower but this one has already bloomed.

And kneeling inside the blue flower was her.

She wearing a light blue dress that reached to her thighs, no shoes. Her blue hair rained down her back like a waterfall of curls. Her eyes were closed as she looked up at the heavens, a smile on her face.

With tears of joy in her eyes, she looked up at Gray who was watching closely her reaction.

"It's beautiful, Gray-sama..." She smiled widely, wiping her tears with her free hand.

Gray let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and moved to kiss her on the cheek. "I'm glad you like it."

"I don't like it, Gray-sama. I love it." She smiled then frowned.

"What?" Gray asked a bit concern with her sudden change of mood.

"It's just... Juvia can't help but think there's more to this drawing. Why did you draw Juvia inside a flower?" She looked at him with curiousity.

He blushed yet again and looked down at the drawing, "Um, well, before you joined Fairy Tail you were sad and alone, a closed flower." He pointed with his index finger at the closed flower at the top of the page. "And when you joined Fairy Tail you suddenly bloomed and became this cheerful girl, full of love, that was just trapped inside a world of loneliness and sadness, trapped inside a closed flower."

When Gray raised his head to look at Juvia she was smiling like an idiot, her eyes shinning with unshed tears.

"Thank you." She kissed him softly, "It's beautiful. Much more beautiful now that Juvia knows the reason for this drawing."

Gray smiled down at her, "You're welcome."

Juvia looked down at the drawing again and bit her lip, "If it's okay, can Juvia keep this drawing?"

Gray rolled his eyes, holding back a smile, "It's a drawing of you. Of course you can keep it, Juv."

Juvia grinned widely and hugged him tightly, "Thank you thank you thank you."

Gray chuckled and hugged her back, "Yeah yeah, whatever."

She pulled away from the hug and was about to hand him back his portfolio when he stopped her.

"Keep it."

Juvia stared at him again, her eyes wide, "B-but this belongs to Gray-sama."

"It belongs to you. It always has."

Juvia raised her hand to her mouth, trying to hide her smile, and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks again, Gray-sama."

Gray smiled, "No problem. Just make sure to check it every once in awhile."

Juvia frowned in confusion and Gray couldn't help but chuckle and kiss her cheek.

Three days later

Juvia walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. Gray was out, buying groceries since they're almost out. She opened one of the drawers and picked one of Gray's shirt when she saw it.

The black portfolio.

Juvia frowned. She was one hundred percent sure she had put it on her nightstand. Just then, Gray's words came back to her.

Just make sure to check it every once in awhile.

Taking the portfolio in her hands, she opened it and saw a drawing that wasn't there before. She gasped.

The drawing was of her, of course, but this time she was inside a flower made of ice. She was wearing the same light blue dress, her blue hair falling down her back, barefoot, but instead of looking up at the heavens she was looking down at the ice flower with her hand resting on one of the ice petals, almost like she was caressing it.

Below the drawing was a note,

Only you can bloom in a heart of ice.

A few tears fell down her cheeks as Juvia smiled widely at the note. When Gray got back, she tackled him with a kiss, knocking down all the groceries to the floor on the process. At first Gray was confused but when Juvia said "It's so beautiful" he caught on and kissed her back with everything he got. Yeah, only her can bloom in his heart made of ice.
