AN: Just fluffy, everyday life stuff with Gray and Juvia.

The morning sun, paired with the chirping of birds, was more then enough to drag Juvia from her slumber. The young woman slowly opened her eyes and her heart skipped a beat. Gray's sleeping face lay only inches from hers. One would not guess, from how excited the woman became at this sight, but it was quite a regular occurrence for her now. Some five months prior, Gray and Juvia had bought a house together, and settled down to start a family together.

However, every day was a dream-come-true for Juvia, and so she reached her arms out and wrapped them around Gray's neck, and dragged his head into her bosom. She laid a kiss on the top of his head and rubbed her cheek on his head. Juvia could hear the young man grunt into her chest, followed by a light chuckle.

"Good morning, Gray." She cooed, and loosened her grip around him.

Gray moved his head so he could face her. "Good morning to you, Juvia." He moved in and kissed her softly upon the forehead, causing the young lady to blush and smile vividly. "That was some way to go about waking me."

Juvia put a hand on her cheek and gave him a dreamy look. "Juvia just gets so very excited when she sees Gray. Juvia has a hard time controlling herself."

"Well, if I wake up with my face hidden in your breasts again, Gray might have a little trouble controlling himself too." The ice mage teased with a sly smirk, and pushed the young woman down into the mattress.

Juvia looked up to Gray with Rosy cheeks as he returned her stare with hungry eyes. "Juvia understand…" She said timidly, and then raised her eyes brows and grinned at him, "Juvia will wake Gray up the same way on his days off."

Gray felt a chill run up his spine. If he could have his way, he would jump the girl and devour her right then and there, but today was not his "day off" as she had put it. So instead, he leaned in and kissed Juvia's neck; once, twice, and then a light nip. The young woman underneath him gasped and ran a hand through his hair.

"Gray, we cannot…" She sighed, as he began to mark her neck a second time.

"I know." Gray breathed cold air into her skin, sitting up and sliding off the bed and to his feet. "I just need to mark you as mine."

Juvia also sat up, running a hand over the cold dots on her neck as she came to her feet. "I think Gray has already done a fine job of that with this." She said, and kissed the engagement ring on her left hand.

Gray smiled at the young woman as she admired the band around her finger, and then took the hand in his own. "Come on, let's get ready or we'll be in here all day."

"Yes, Gray." Juvia agreed, and let him lead her to the master bathroom.

Once they had entered the porcelain hall, Gray took up a toothbrush, as Juvia took up a comb for her hair. In a comfortable silence, she ran it through her long blue locks until they were rid of tangles. Afterwards, she leaned in towards Gray and began to comb Gray's hair. The young man spat out his toothpaste and laughed as the young woman moved in front of him to part his bangs as she liked them, being far more worried about the appearance his spiky mess, which he called "hair", than he was.

Once she was comfortable with both of their hair-dos, Gray offered her a blue toothbrush with a bit of toothpaste on it, before leaving the bathroom to find his clothes for the day while she brushed her own teeth.

When Juvia's pearly whites shined to her expectations, she left the room and wandered back to the bedroom. When she peaked in, she found Gray in his boxers, pulling a pair of reddish-brown slacks up to his waist. Juvia let out a small squeak of embarrassment, and hid her eyes to prevent herself from ogling him, but she heard the man let out a laugh, and uncovered her blue orbs.

"You should be used to this by now, most the guild is used to seeing me naked." He said, laughing at his own bad habits.

"Juvia knows but…" She stepped into the room and picked the white shirt, which he had chosen, from off the bed and offered it to him. "Gray's naked body means more to Juvia now. It reminds Juvia of… our alone time." She bit her lip and let her eyes wander over his bare chest.

Gray took the shirt from her and pulled it on over his head. "You keep looking at me like that and we're going to have some 'alone time' right now." He told her, as he popped his head out of the top of the fabric.

Juvia blushed and looked away. "Juvia will find a dress for today." She said softly, and trotted over to her closet, which she buried her red face in while trying to choose the right outfit for the day. Once she had calmed herself down, she pulled down a light blue sundress, and another clothes hanger with a pastel pink shawl around it.

She watched Gray wander out of the bedroom before stripping herself of her nightgown, knowing that the man did not have the greatest control around her bare body, and then fished a bra, and matching panties, from the top drawer of the dresser on the far side of the room. Once the water mage had her underwear on comfortably, she slipped her dress on over her head, and clumsily tied it behind her back, before pulling her shawl around her shoulders, and tying it with a pink ribbon.

She stood on her tiptoes and reached onto the shelf above her closet, from where she pulled down a wide-brimmed pink hat, which matched her shawl nicely. She carried the hat out of the room with her and looked to join Gray in the kitchen.

She found her fiancé setting the table with breakfast. There was already and plate with four slices of wheat toast on it, and the sound and smell of sizzling bacon filled the room.

Juvia smiled contently, and then, placing her hat on the far end of the table, she fetched a couple of glasses, which she put to either side of the plate. She went to the refrigerator and pulled out a carton of orange juice. The bluenette poured the liquid into each cup, and then put the box back in the fridge, before sitting down on the booth seat that worked as chairs in their kitchen. Gray stepped to the table and scraped eight slices of bacon onto the plate, before turning off the stove and moving around the table to join Juvia in the seat. He slid in close, until his side touched hers and then kissed her head softly.

"Bon appétit." He said, giving the young lady permission to dig in. Juvia smiled cheerfully and took a slice of toast up in her hands. She took a couple bites out of the bread, before turning it to Gray, who was already munching on crispy bacon. He swallowed what he was already chewing, and then took an enormous bite out of the toast. Juvia gave a giggle before she took the toast back and chewed down what was left of it. The rest of breakfast followed this pattern of Juvia feeding herself and Gray together, until all the food was gone.

Juvia pulled her hat upon her head as the couple gathered at the front door. She helped Gray into a brown leather jacket, before the man reached for the doorknob.

"So you're going out on a mission with Lucy?" He asked her, and ran a hand over her cheek. "Are you sure you two will be alright alone?"

Juvia leaned into his touch. "Yes, it is only a body guarding mission. D rank. Juvia and Lucy will be more than enough." She reassured him. "Juvia will be home tonight."

"Alright." Gray gave in. He didn't want to coddle the young woman, but he couldn't help but worry about her. She was his whole world.

"And Gray is joining Natsu and Gajeel to report on the last missions damages, correct?" Juvia reminded Gray of his duties for the day. He scrunched up his face in reaction to his assignment, but then sighed in defeat.

"Yes. Even is it is all Flame Breath's fault." He grunted.

"Then Juvia will see you tonight?" She asked coyly, and leaned in towards him on her toes.

Gray smiled as he leaned in and kissed her mouth softly. "Yes. Tonight." He promised, breathing against her lips.

Juvia smiled brightly, and then slipped a pair of light pink flats onto her feet as Gray opened the door. "Juvia looks forward to it." Her voice trailed off as they stepped out of the house.

End

I really enjoyed this one and kind of liked where it was going. I might want to continue it as a chapter fic, but due to the challenge, I will leave it as is for now.
