A/N: I really enjoyed writing this chapter though I had to cut it a bit shorter than others. Prelude to another event that made this one short so that other wouldn't be too long. And of course the promised

The bed moved… something has disturbed his sleep and Gray opened his eyes and looked. They widened, his breath caught in his throat and in the darkness he could see her, completely bathed in moonlight, crawling on bed over him, bearing nothing more than her smile. His lips opened and voice was just about to reach but her finger moved, pressed against them as her own lips fell on his chest, making soft kissing sound. His heart pounded harder and the sensation on his skin burned to his very soul. She moved them, going slightly down to his stomach and navel and every kiss has ended with hot breath that fell on his cold skin.

She took but a moment to look up at him and spoke softly "Juvia knows everything" and with that she continued kissing him again. He began melting, nothing inside of him remained as cool as his magic and he closed eyes, leaning back on his pillow and closed eyes. Her hands moved reaching up to his chest and shoulders, caressing carefully as she made way up, slowly, teasingly until she reached his jaw. She bit him, lightly and he opened eyes and parted his lips, begging for her to go just a bit more up and his hands stopped clenching the sheets and made way on her own shoulder… she was warm, hot, burning under his cold fingertips and he dug them lightly into her skin.

Juvia knew how much he pleaded silently and it took her no more than a second to move closer to them. She moved her legs to straddle his hips and slowly sat up, still holding hands on his chest while hers were crushed under the pressure of her arms. It was sight he never saw before, completely drunk with her but she gave him no time to marvel and she moved down, pressing her lips against his, kissing long and deep. Their tongues began the battle of domination and her taste was that of heavenly ambrosia. She bit his lip lightly, moving her lips away to his cheek, ear, down the neck and further to shoulder… her hips began slowly moving, grinding against his still blanket-covered groins and he felt all his blood rush there. Silent moan filled the room, his moan, drawn out by this girl that gave him no rest, no moment alone and her hand slipped under the blanket, feeling him up in his full glory.

One more grin and she slipped lower, far down trailing her path with kisses until a single one made him gasp. He could no longer contain himself and his eyes widened, his lips shivered and breath stuck in throat. Kiss was replaced by a trail of tongue, going up and down making another wet trail that followed by kisses… she enjoyed it. His hands moved down, going through her hair and as if it was a sign she completely enveloped him with her lips. Groan now filled room, the way she moved slowly, teasing all the way with every deep intake has pushed him a bit further. He had no escape from this pleasure and she let him have no rest.

Just as he was about to reach the very peak she stopped, as if knew and gave one more long lick before moving up… she grinned at him wide as her hip again took the same stance as before… her hand slowly adjusted and with slow, slow slide she sat… "Aaaah…" was all she said as her face deformed, the grin disappeared and she frowned deeply, closing eyes shut. His hands roamed down to her sides, grabbing her firmly as she slowly began grinding against him, moving back and forth… up and down. Her blue hair, bathed in light of the moon fell over her face, her hands grasped his chest as she quickened her pace… moaning with her mouth closed… music to his ears but he had less strength than her and his voice was loud, sensation spreading through his body, filling his being. He directed her, setting up the pace wish his hands that held her hips and she followed. Her hips quickened… moving faster, harder while uttering single thing over and over

"Gray-sama!"

Over and over she repeated as they continued their erotic dance on bed. He was near and she wasn't far behind him… She leaned down and with one more strong thrust he was pushed over every edge and limit he had. Her lips connected with his, silencing his groans and he hugged her tight, holding as if his life depended on it, as if it depended on her… He frowned, waiting for waves of pleasure to subside until he could open his eyes and look into hers.

"Please…" he whispered moving hand to her cheek "Please tell me you are real…" but instead of answer she just smiled and placed her head on his shoulder

"Juvia will always love Gray-sama… she will be as real as Gray-sama wants her to be…"

He swallowed hard, closing eyes, the room became dark. Arms wrapped around her and held her close. Damn it…

Gray's eyes opened and he sat up suddenly, panting fast as his heart was thumping… loud and fast. His skin was covered with sweat, cold as his own skin and his eyes looked around the room. The hell is that dream about he said to himself before chuckling silently though he couldn't but feel both lightheaded and feeling the tight sensation in his groin. However as his hands wiped the sleep off his eyes he stood up and made way to the bathroom and into the shower and right now he needed cold one. His eyes kept wandering and he was looking at his still standing manhood, concluding that this wasn't just a normal morning wood.

His hand instinctively reached up to his lips as memory of last night flashed before his eyes… her lips were soft, delicate and yet they had this scent of roses. Mind however decided to shift to his dream and instantly it was filled with image of Juvia's body, grinding against his in slow motions making his cheeks flush dark red. Cold shower did little to ease his problem so he got out, drying himself and dressing up in his everyday clothes before going out of his house. Long sigh escaped his lips as he made way toward guild hall

He desperately needed to talk with someone but knowing reactions they would show, he turned toward one person whom he knew could at least listen if not help. Pushing doors open he looked around and finally spotted whom he was looking for.

"Hey Natsu, mind if I… talk to you for a minute?" Gray asked as he came close to Natsu who was in the middle of talking with Lucy

"Yeah, I guess" Natsu nodded and followed him toward the table, one furthest from the crowd and they both sat down. For some time they sat in silence making Natsu more and more curious... Gray isn't type of guy to just want to talk so this simply strike him on the odd side "So what's the deal? You dying or something?"

"Not yet" Gray replied to his last question, though he felt like it… he cleared his throat a bit "tell me, when you and Lucy started dating, did you ever had… dreams…?"

"I kinda tend to dream all the time" Natsu grinned at this just as odd question

"No, I mean, dream about Lucy" Gray asked again slightly turning on his seat as he became uncomfortable. Natsu with all his great mind for once did not need receive extra explanation

"You mean like a sex dream?" He asked with wider grin, watching Gray somehow receive the pink tone on cheek "Yeah, all the time. I mean I had one last night as a matter of fact. We were at the beach and suddenly it turned really hot so Lucy had her swimsuit removed and-"

"Ok that is a bit too much information" Gray interrupted him, waving hand "I kinda wish to preserve friendship with Lucy"

"Right" Natsu chuckled while his eyes still carefully observed Gray who rubbed fingers one against another "You had a sex dream?" he continued and instead of answer Gray just remained completely silent, seemingly focused on his trivial play with fingers "Is it about Juvia?" this time however he received a nod as answer. Gray decided to tell him about what happened at the wedding, not missing a single detail of it which made Natsu change expressions from interest to amusement. The idea really interested him but there was also just a tiny bit of admiration in Natsu's look along with pride.

"Damn Gray you are so into her" dragonslayer teased him in his high pitched voice, expecting strong negative reaction but none came making the very teasing smile disappear in a blink of an eye "You are into her" he said in lower more serious voice

"Yeah I kinda figured that out myself"

"So why tell me? Why not tell her that?"

"Because I can't. She still wants to be away from me and I can't talk to anyone else because…" Gray stuttered, taking few seconds and a long deep breath "… out of everyone around here who knows what happened only you would listen to me, at least to the end of it. I know you're gonna laugh but… crap… I guess I trust you enough, at least more than anyone around here…" Gray finished making Natsu now completely struck with shock. He never thought Gray would think this highly of him. Lucy or Levy would be better choice to talk about these things, but to be first choice and open up. Natsu moved hand through his hair and looked up, for once he wished he had something good to say.

"You know, before we started dating, I had one or two sex dreams about Lucy" Natsu started making Gray twitch a bit in hope that it wouldn't be full pervert story "I was confused at first as to why I had it and I talked to Levy. She told me that it is my heart's way telling me that it wants to be with Lucy more than just a friend, that it wanted to connect" Gray kept looking at Natsu, when did he became love guru? "And I took advice and asked her out"

"So, you think I should try and tell Juvia what I feel about her?" Gray's eyes narrowed as he fully expected to hear No Gray.

"Deffinately" Natsu grinned wide as he leaned closer, placing hands on the table "You already screwed up big time, you can't get any lower than this I mean she practically is avoiding you on daily basis and we are talking about a girl who freaked the hell out of me sometimes by her stalking. Only way to go now is up! Just take it slow at first alright? Let her become closer to you and then give a shot."

"That… is actually good advice, when did you had time to figure that out?" Gray asked him with eyes open wide

"Lucy told me" he quickly answered and removed any doubt from Gray's mind on who is behind the sentences. Gray knew Natsu would have hard time remembering all of that but be was a bit relieved that Lucy thought about that, at least now he had couple of people who if nothing, supported the idea.

"Alright I guess I should just find a good moment to talk to her"

"Why don't you try now?" Natsu asked

"Because on my left and over there at the corner" Gray's thumb pointed in direction where Gajeel stood talking to Levy, making Natsu look "you will notice the steel grinding machine who promised to kill me if I try anything and on my left and two tables away" he now pointed to general direction where Erza was eating her strawberry cake "is the titan in human disguise who will finish the job should the named machine fail" Gray sighed heavily, hanging his head forward

"What if I grab his attention?" Natsu asked with eyes burning and smile wide showing teeth

"And what about Erza?"

"Nevermind then" Dragonslayer lost his will suddenly, remembering that he almost died last time he ruined her cake-eating time.

All the while a pair of eyes observed the entire conversation, perhaps not hearing it but eyes did not miss the detail. He was in deep thought, letting out a hum occasionally.

"Master, is everything alright?" Mira asked and Makarov suddenly snapped out of his thought

"Oh just fine dear" he smiled at her and resumed his careful observation. Before long he stood up and extended his hand that reached almost four meters in length, snatching something and bringing to his face for another few short minutes of quiet thinking. His fingers reached to his moustaches, carefully braiding them with fingers and made his way toward counter. He jumped on it and cleared his throat

"Gray, mind coming for moment!" he shouted loud enough for Gray to hear and the man in question nodded and walked along with Natsu "I have a particular job that is vital to the guild and I have determined that you are best suited for it, however it won't be easy"

"Have no worry master" Gray nodded and looked with determined eyes, his mood changed considerably at his words "Just say what needs to be done"

"That's the spirit my boy" Makarov grinned but Natsu quickly interjected

"Alright! Finally we got some important mission! Where are we going?"

"Unfortunately you will not be going Natsu, the nature of this mission is not suitable for your… hmmm… skills"

"Say what!" Natsu shouted and in shock "Come on gramps you can't leave him to go alone and I want some action!"

"If you want action you are free to take a job but I do agree with you on one thing… mission may be too difficult for just Gray so he will need a partner" Makarov rubbed his moustache a bit more as he looked around "Juvia Lockser" he spoke loud, making her blink and look toward him "Mind coming closer?" master asked and she nodded a bit uncertain but stood beside Gray as they both listened. At this point Gray felt more uneasy, feeling his heart beat fast at close proximity to Juvia "You will come with Gray on this mission"

"Wait a second!" Gajeel suddenly interjected, pushing few guild members along the way as he walked "You can't let those two go alone! I'll be coming along"

"You will stay here Gajeel" Makarov's voice turned serious, making dragonslayer angry but he knew better than to argue "This mission is of vital importance for the Fairy Tail and these two are best suited for it"

"No, you don't know what-" Gajeel knew he shouldn't argue but he did start however he was interrupted by rather angry glare from Makarov… even short his attitude was the size of a titan

"I have made my decision" Makarov finally calmed down a bit looking at pair "You should go as soon as possible to the Silver Lake up at the north. The train will not reach it so you will need to walk to the location. Once you reach, ask mayor of the village that is located at the Silver lake about the issue with it and he will point you out in the direction of it"

"Of course master" Juvia bowed "We shall not fail"

"Very good" tiny master nodded with smile but remained standing on the counter as two wizards left the hall. Finally as they closed the door he took a deep breath as his strongest of members suddenly gathered around him.

"What gives?!" Natsu was first to speak, yet again, obviously angry at his choice and by the look of the faces the rest shared his enthusiasm, save for Lucy and Levy who at this point enjoyed not being plunged into missions that could potentially blow their brains out "Why am I not going with them?! Everyone knows that I could finish the mission twice as fast!"

"Master, I highly respect your decision" Erza started, folding arms "However I do agree with Natsu that mission of such importance would require stronger team

"Yeah what she said!" Natsu's ears steamed from anger "Screw this I am tagging along!"

"Natsu Dragneel" Makarov spoke in deep echoing voice that made him freeze in the place along with rest who were around "If you make one step out of the guild hall you will spend rest of the week cleaning the hall and I will personally watch over that you don't leave a single bit of dust left out!"

"Y…yes sir…" Natsu's shoulders dropped as he returned and flopped on chair, having Lucy to play with his hair in attempt to raise bit of his already broken spirit

"I do not understand master" Erza again looked at Makarov, averting her gaze from Natsu who was still pouting despite Lucy's kisses on his cheek "Is it dangerous mission?"

"No" he replied clearing his throat and his started clearing his ear from some wax "Just to deal with some pesky fish who happened to bother local swimmers" this sentence completely shocked everyone but more so Erza than them.

"So they will be traveling for two days there and two back just to deal with some fi-" suddenly Erza stopped as it struck her "You did that on purpose… you chose two of them because they fought…" but instead of any answer Makarov just smiled wide as he sat on counter, crossing his legs and arms "You knew exactly what they were going through and you deliberately chose them on mission that takes place on other side of the kingdom"

"Seriously geezer! What gives?!" Gajeel again interjected, making Makarov look at him "I am not leaving Blue with that creep after what he's done!"

"Enough Gajeel! I did not lie about the mission or its importance and I have deemed that this mission is important to them as much as it is important to the Fairy Taul!" the titan spoke again in serious but loud tone, making the iron dragonslayer clench his teeth and fist "I know exactly what happened and what is the cause of it. Did you honestly believe I would remain oblivious to the problem?" old man growled

"You are all my children, old or young, fresh or veterans I consider you all as if you are my own. Fairy Tail is more than a guild, it is a family and when one of your hearts ache, mine aches just as much. How can I sit idly watching two of them suffer like this? Did you think I wouldn't notice?" Gajeel simply looked down, he was still pissed to his very bones

"There is nothing more important than unity, and unity requires for everyone to look at everyone and see the bond that connects us. When you fight for one comrade you fight for all of them and when you are down and on your knees Fairy Tail will never abandon you! Is that not what is important?" now everyone looked down, even Erza who was so far adamant in her stance looked away, as if noticing errors in her judgement

"So you just picked easiest mission that is far away from Magnolia just to give them some time alone?" Erza asked looking at Makarov who yet again grinned at his brilliant strategy

"The rest is up to them…"

A/N: I like to believe I am slowly reaching the conclusion but I have way too many ideas for this story and for good amount of time I was conflicted should I make this a marathon or stick to short version. I still am conflicted about that, but anyway, let me know what you think about this chapter and thank you all for your reviews, you push me forward :)
