'So...Gray?' the pinkette looked nervously up at his raven haired friend in front of him.

'Yeah' the blackette boy said.

'Are you free this weekend?'

'Yeah, why?'

'W-well I was j-just thinking maybe w-we could go to the p-park or something?'

'I would-'

Gray was suddenly cut off by a certain blue haired girl.

'GRAY-SAMA!!! YOU PROMISED YOU'D HELP JUVIA WITH SOME BAKING THIS WEEKEND!!'

'Was that this weekend?!' Gray gulped.

'It sure was!'

'How about we do that Sunday?'

'Hmmmm' Juvia gave the two males a nasty scowl.

'Please?' Gray pleaded.

'F-fine, BUT ONLY BEACUSE GRAY-SAMA ASKED NICELY!!' and she stormed off mumbling things under her breath.

'S-sorry..' Gray sighed 'She's a handful'

'Well there's something we can agree on' Natsu chuckled.

'So, how about Saturday?' said Gray.

'So you'll actually come!?' Natsu's eyes lit up in excitement.

'Of course'

Gray smiled warmly at Natsu, then Natsu returned one of his signature grins.

~~~-- Saturday Morning --~~~

The cold winter sun shone through the frosted windows of Natsu's house. As the minuets passed, the light slowly crept it's way up Natsu's face.

Natsu blinked softly, his delicate, morning eyes flickering and adjusting to the new light. He yawned teary-eyed, then hopped out of bed with a grin.

Natsu shuffled over to his wardrobe and stared blankly at his options. He squinted his eyes then made his way over to the window.

He looked outside and realised that all the land around him had been coated in thick, white snow.

Natsu's eyes lit up in excitement and he darted back to his wardrobe.

With excitement, Natsu dug his way to the back and pulled out a large, red jumper, decorated with tiny white snowflakes.

'I haven't worn this in ages!' Natsu smiled.

He pulled on the jumper over the shirt he already had on, then pulled on some bright blue jeans and of course, his scarf.

'NATSU, NATSU!' Happy flew threw the door and into Natsu's bedroom in a panicked state.

'What is it, Happy?!' Natsu said, worried.

'You can't go on your date with Gray!' Happy cried.

'What? Why not?!'

'Because there will be no one here to heat up the house!' Happy moaned.

'Seriously, Happy!?' Natsu groaned, 'Just fly over to the guild hall! Mira will have the fire on'

'Oh yeah!' said Happy, 'Se 'ya later Natsu!'

Happy then flew out the door towards the guild.

Natsu sighed, 'Happy really is one of a kind'

-- Meanwhile --

Gray had been up for a while now and has been sitting out in the snow.

Gray's icy breath pierced the surrounding air as he breathed in and out.

Gray looked at some nearby deer and looked at them with passion in his eyes.

He then stood up and headed towards the park.

=~ At the Park ~=

Natsu stood at the park entrance, watching some nearby children build a snowman.

'Hey there'

Natsu jumped at the sound of Gray's voice.

'Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you!' appologised Gray.

'Don't be sorry! It was me' reassured Natsu.

There was silence between the two for a short while.

'S-should we head in?' asked Natsu.

'Um, yes!' agreed Gray.

They walked through the gates and into the wonders of the winter park.

The trees and their branches were coated in soft powdery snow, the grass powdered perfectly.

The pond was coated in thick, delicate ice.

Pure, white rabbits played in the snow, frolicking with each other.

Gray and Natsu took their time, taking in the beautiful scenery.

'Winter truly is magical!' said Natsu, his eyes sparkling.

'Yeah' nodded Gray.

'Hey look, snow!' Natsu pointed out.

A light shower of snow began to fall from the sky. Each individual piece took it's time to slowly drift to the ground.

Natsu smiled like he had never seen this unique season before.

Gray stared at the pinkette adoringly then realised he was staring back.

They both broke out into a giggle then continued walking.

Quick explanation:

So Gray and Natsu have been dating for quite a while now but are still kind of nervous around each other. Barely anyone in the guild knows about this secret relationship, only a hand full.

Now back to the story...

Gray and Natsu's boots crunched on top of the soft layer of snow beneath them as they walked into the centre of the woods.

This part of the woods was filled with wildlife and wonderful scenery, only some kmow about this part of the woods.

Gray's light blue, wooly jumper collected piles of snow, along with Natsu's.

Natsu and Gray came up to a huge, towering willow tree. It too had been collecting snow.

'Follow me' grinned Natsu, pushing his way through the frosted leaves of the tree and inside it's snowy walls.

Gray followed, obediently and pushed his way through.

Inside the frozen walls was a beautiful, white bench. Beams of sunlight shone through some gaps of the leaves creating the most beautiful image Gray had ever seen.

'Natsu it's beautiful!' smiled Gray.

'I know! I've been coming here for as long as I can remember' said Natsu.

They sat down on the bench together and chatted for a while.

'So...I've been meaning to ask you something' said Gray.

'Ok, what is it' smiled Natsu.

'Natsu Dragneel...' Gray stood up, 'will you be my boyfriend?'

Natsu was speechless. He didn't know wether to laugh or cry, screem or shout.

'I-YES!!!' said Natsu smiling the biggest smile and tears in his eyes.

Gray and Natsu embraced each other tightly, never wanting to let go.

They sat on the bench, still in each other's arms. Natsu's head was laid against Gray's chest and Gray's head on top of Natsu's.

Their arms enter twined around each other like a beautifully woven basket.

The shining sun stayed high in the sky while they sat together until it's time was up and had to set.

'Hey, Gray?'

'Yeah, Natsu'

'Let's do this again, ok?'

'Ok'

'I love you'

'I love you too'

~-~-~-*End*-~-~-~

That was a little idea I had at 2AM -_-

The bench snuggles was actually inspired by my sims (Kayden and Sony) when I was playing The Sims 4 today.

I hope you all enjoyed !! :D :)

Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes.

Love you all 3
