At the Fullbuster House (Gray POV)

We walk into our house and look around. I see the ice sculpture there and then see our room, the door open. I look in the kitchen and can already picture how our lives would go: Juvia would get up early like always. I would linger in bed and then smell breakfast. I would get up and go to the table joined, eventually not right away (hopefully), by our kids. The picture of our lives, our lives together forever, brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. I did not think that I would get this, not until a week ago. Not until I found my Juvia, my angel again.

The tear dropped down my face and Juvia, who was leaning lovingly into my body with our arms intertwined, asked, "Are you alright Gray-sama?"

"Yeah. Just thinking about how lucky I am for having found you again. I was worried I would never see you again." I said and she wiped away the tear with a kiss.

"It's like we vowed at our wedding Gray-sama. Juvia would wait for you forever, as would Gray-sama for Juvia. And we did just that." She said and kissed me on the lips, and I swore the earth crashed around us for a second.

She pulled away and looked at me, smiling softly and I saw what an angel's eyes must have looked like. They contained love and compassion, kindness and selflessness, they were caring and had every possible emotion related to love possible. They made my heart melt and I returned her kiss. But this time much more passionately. She moaned at the sudden kiss and she opened her mouth. Her tongue slipped between my lips and our tongues danced, a dance they had not done in over a year. We both moaned and broke apart for air, both a bit unused to kissing and holding our breaths like we were before. But then I looked into her eyes again and saw the love in them.

I forgot about my lack of oxygen and kissed her again, this time my tongue entered her mouth and I picked her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist and I walked over to a wall. I pinned her against it and started trailing kisses down her neck, sucking every now and then so it would make a hickey. Then I started getting lower down her neck to where her chest was and she said in between moans, "Gray-sama, bedroom." I nodded and kissed her again.

I walked us over to the bedroom and entered the room. I kicked the door closed behind us and then carefully deposited her on the bed. I went to take off my shirt but realized it was gone already, 'Well, my stripping habit is back. Oh well, it has its uses.' Juvia was taking off her shirt and as soon as she did I began kissing her again. I rolled us over so she was on top, or maybe she did I wasn't sure. I'm too busy making out to really care, and then she started trailing kisses down my neck. I moaned as her lips were angel soft and she started making her way down my body.

She reached my torso and noticed a new scar that I had, she looked at me as I f asking how. I mouthed later and she nodded, and then proceeded to kiss the length of my scar. Then she made her down to my pants and gave them a tug. She then realized I still had my belt on and made quick of them, throwing them to where her shirt was. Then she helped as I shimmied out of my pants and was left in my boxers. She saw the rough outline of my cock and saw it was hard. She giggled and mumbled something about it being as big as she remembered and gave it a kiss. The feeling of her soft lips on it made moan out louder than before in pure ecstasy, and she did it again. Then she grabbed it and I swore I saw stars, feeling something I had not felt in a long while.

Then when she was done teasing me she pulled off my boxers. She threw into the ever-growing pile of clothes and then took my entire cock in her mouth. She did it for a split second before releasing it and taking a deep breath, then only took about half in. I moaned and grinned at her attempt to take it in all at once, then kept moaning as she got a consistent pace going. She found a perfect pace, a little fast but not too fast to where all the pleasure is gone too quickly. After a few more moments I got close to cumming and said in between moans, "Juvia stop. I don't want to come just yet. At least, not in your mouth."

She nodded and took my cock out of her mouth and crawled up my body. When she reached my head, she kissed me and it was a long and sweet kiss. Gentle and tender instead of quick, rough, and lustful like it usually was. This kiss was us showing how much we loved each other, and if that was the case then I could have died right then and there. My life was complete as I was with the woman that had stolen my heart and I couldn't be happier. But I could finish what we had started.

I flipped our positions and broke the kiss. Then I positioned myself and looked at her. She groaned as I teased her by rubbing the head of my cock on her vagina and said, "Gray-sama… Please!" I smirked at her but complied, pushing all the way in. It was tight and I moaned and groaned at her tightness, and she moaned at the feeling of my cock inside of her. I pulled back a bit until only the head was still inside then slammed back in. She moaned and I groaned at how tight she was, but kept going building up a steady pace. Then she started meeting me halfway, bucking her hips into my thrusts and soon enough we were both close. I felt her tightening even more and I felt myself close as well. We both yelled loudly and came one after the other, me first and after a couple of more thrusts Juvia came as well.

We both were panting and breathing hard, and I slumped down on top of her. I kissed her forehead and said, "You are simply perfect. Everything about you is. I'm so happy we're back together." She smiled as I looked at her and kissed me on the cheek. Then I realized how tired I was now and asked, "Wanna just sleep and figure what we need to get tomorrow?"

She smiled and said, "Yes. Juvia is very tired now." I smiled at her and rolled off of her, and then spooned her. She grabbed the covers and threw them over us and soon enough, we were both asleep. Smiling as we did as we were sleeping in each other's arms, doing so for the first time in a long time. And in that moment, nothing else mattered, not even my undying hatred of anything remotely related to anything Dragneel. For the moment. 'Fuck! I didn't wear a condom! If she gets pregnant… Eh I'll be happy. Especially if it's a boy! That way he kick whoever that bastard Natsu and his whore wife Lucy have as a child's ass.'

Back to the Day After the Battles-Era (Natsu POV)

I shake hands with different councilmen, as does Esoj and take a picture with each one. Each one looks at me with a forced smile and I smile genuinely at them. 'Hahahaha, loser. Their plan failed and now they're stuck doing this. I love this! I want to see each and every one of their faces as I look at them and shake their hands. I want to see how much they hate me and how they can do nothing about it… Man, I really should go to therapy. A lot of pent up anger.'

Then it was the chairman's turn and he looked at me, eyes full of contempt and hatred. But his words said the opposite as his machine for speaking said, "Natsu, my old friend! Congratulations! I knew you would win. Come, let us take a picture!" I nodded with a genuine smile on my face and our hands still in the handshake. But then I heard his voice inside my head, via telepathy obviously, and he said, 'Know this Dragneel. We made a promise and we kept it. But that doesn't mean we won't be watching you like hawks. One mess up that warrants it, and we'll brand you as a dark guild with the highest termination priority. And I promise you, you will die this time. Now go home and leave us in peace.'

I chuckled softly and told him, 'Oh I knew you were going to be like this. Trust me I knew. Just remember who will be saving the world when your other guilds fail.'

I smiled and walked away, Esoj right behind me as we walked away from the press. "Get everyone ready to rebuild as quickly as possible. And tell people we are open for business. And that we are accepting new members and welcome anyone as long as they wish to use their magic for good. Oh and is the photographer in Naito yet?"

We reached Metalicana who was waiting for us with Gajeel as Esoj said, "Yes he arrived this morning. Should I put a distance limit on how far we ask for requests or does that not matter to you?"

I shrugged as we boarded and said, "Nope. It's up to you. Just remember as of now we have only nine mages. So we can't be taking too many jobs. Gajeel, how is the rebuilding going? Any progress?"

He nodded as we took off and Esoj looked like me in a train, "Yeah, I'd say next week at the latest we should be able to move in. Oi, dad! Hurry up and get home I'm starving here!"

"Yeah same here Metalicana! Haven't eaten since breakfast! And that was three hours ago!" I said and Esoj puked at the mention of food.

"Wait, you ate breakfast? When? We all got up at the same time." Gajeel asked and I cursed my slip up.

"Umm, well they had some at the signing and photo thing…" I said and saw Gajeel's face contort.

"THEY WHAT?! YOU MOTHER FUCKER I WAS FUCKING HUNGRY TOO! YOU SAID THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY FOOD! YOU BASTARD!" He yelled and looked like he wanted to kill me, again.

"Hey that's what they told me! They said to eat beforehand because there was not going to be any food, most likely!" I said defensively.

Gajeel sighed and said, "You're lucky we're in the air or I'd kick your ass back to Naito."

"HA! Like you could even touch me. I could kick your ass with no hands!" I said mockingly.

"You wanna go Salamander?" He asked and put his head to mine.

I pushed back and said, "Yeah, yeah I do!"

That was when Metalicana spoke up and said, "We're back. We have been for a bit now. Get off my back now so I can go and sleep. Oh and you're wives heard everything. Good luck."

He flew off as we got off and we saw our wives. They did not look too happy as Esoj was snickering at us until Nena smacked him in the head. "You're late." They said in unison and I knew we were in trouble.

"The photographer is waiting, let's go." Lucy said impatiently and we both nodded and walked over to everyone else quickly.

The photographer looked at us and smiled and said, "Ok, everyone get with their respective pair and look at the camera. The cats and the dragons too! Natsu and Lucy you stand in the middle! Redfoxes next to them on the right and the Anorens on the left! Ummm, right shadow dude and wife next to the Redfoxes and light couple next to the Anorens. The older couple next to the shadow couple and the dragons can be next to the light couple. The cats in front!" We all followed his orders and soon enough were in position. "Ok! On three say Ronin! ONE! TWO! THREE!"

"RONIN!" We all said and he started taking so many pictures from so many angles I thought my jaw was going to come off. But soon enough it was over and he handed us a photo that was ready. It was perfect and I showed everyone the picture. We all had matching guild marks on various places and we all looked genuinely happy. We all smiled and pointed out each other's mishaps, but felt like a family when doing so. And that was when I think we all felt it. We all felt freedom and like we were free. 'Free at last and it feels so good. Who would have thought that this would happen, there is no correlation here. We have two soldiers, two ex dark mages, and four legit guild mages, one of whom was a dark mage at one point. But it's as they say, correlation does not imply nor mean causation. We may not seem likely to start a guild together and become a family, but yet here we are.'

"Hey Natsu, come on! Dinner is ready! Well, at least the first dinner for you!" Lucy said breaking me out of my reverie, and I smiled and joined my happy family. I picked up Hoshi from where she was with Virgo and started chatting with each of my family members, my new nakama. And I finally felt free and easy, like I was when I was with Fairy Tail before. 'But I have a new home. And I couldn't be happier! I may never forgive them but I could care less right now.'

"I'm home."

Many Years Later (3rd Person POV)

"Grandpa!" A little girl with blonde hair yelled and ran up to an older man, her grandfather. The man scooped her up in a hug and swung her around. The girl giggled and asked him, "Grandpa! Can you tell me a story? Maybe from when you were younger and awesome!"

"Oi! I'm still awesome! Just not young. But alright, let me tell you the story of a man called Natsu Dragneel, and his escapades as a member of Ronin." The man said and the girl looked at him and pouted.

"But you always tell me about him. I don't even know why you like him so much." The girl said.

"How could you not? He was perhaps the most amazing man I ever knew. He was strong and powerful and never lost as a member of Ronin. Plus he had pink hair! How cool is that!" The old man said and the girl's face lit up.

"PINK?! I LOVE PINK! Ok Grandpa you can tell me more about him! Hey wait a minute… Isn't your hair…" The girl started and the old man stopped her.

The old man looked at her and said, "Let me tell you about him, then I'll answer your question. Now let me begin when…"
