"Yes, its Juvia. Lyon where are you?" The screams muffled by the sudden gust of wind. All i see, is a vast sea of whiteness. The snow thickening in every tick, of the clock.

Willow tree. Thats all the response i got from the faint sound of screams.

I managed to unbury myself from the snow that served as my grave. Slowly pulling myself up, i pushed my body to search for the person/s i seek.

Juvia. She's close to me. Just close. Too close. Just a few steps away.

Through the strong storm of snow, i travelled. Searching for both. Until i arrived at an entrance. Frozen trees loomed at me like unmoving skeletons.

Bright darkness enveloped me as i stepped inside the frozen forest. Each step i take, my feet drowns in the snow. Burying my my body up to my calves.

I travelled for what seemed like hours, and the futher i came, the stronger the storm goes.

Is this another challenge? To see, how i wanted to see them both? To know, how persistent i am, to find her? For if it is, then i wouldnt show any defeat. I will continue pushing my feet forward, even if my energy goes down the drain. Hence, i will crawl to her, if ever my legs grew tired carrying my weight.

"L-llllllllllllyooooooon" that wind carried me her voice. Faint, yet it embraced my body. Providing warmth i never knew existed. And just like that, the storm ceased, yet not enough to clear the view.

I still see an unending sea of snow. But now, i can already identify outlines of trees.

Weakly placing another step, it was then that i got a glimpse, of a tree not so far away.

Where everything in this world is frozen, this tree seemed out of place.

It displays spring around a place filled with snow. And beneath the shades, sat a man.

Lyon. Its Lyon. I would know him anywhere. He's the only person i knew, that possess a head, adorned with spiky white locks. And eyes, as black as coal.

Another figure came to view. A woman this time. Making her way towards Lyon. I watched in surprise, as every step she takes, the snow melts and fresh grass came to view.

It was then that i realized, a set of pathes, possibly her footprints. Some grasses being covered by the small flecks of ice by now.

I dont know what to do.

All this years i believed they're both just a lie. But now, they are here, right in front my very eyes.

I am afraid.

Afraid this is yet another dream. But i may as well, treasure the moment ,yes?

I moved forward, not letting my gaze off them in even a second.

I watched, as Lyon stood from his comfortable sitting, and greeted her halfway.

Envy and fury engulfed me, as i saw him plant a soft whisper of a kiss at her lips.

Juvia.

I wonder when would i, be able to kiss her too.

I watched in amazement, as the buds that curtains the willow tree, sprung into a full bloomed flowers the
moment she stepped beneath the tree. Sending the strong fragrance of flowers, flooding into the air.

Closer. As my steps grow, our distance shortens.

I walked faster, eager to be near them. To be near her.

My walks turned to sprints as i moved much closer. I didnt stop until the moment i have them in my arms.

When onle a few inches more, i tackled Juvua into the ground. Burying my tear streaked face into the crook of her neck.

Not a gasp left her lips.

"Hey get off her you maniac!" Lyon growled and as soon as he spoke did he pried me off from Juvia's form.

"Lyon" i cried engulfing him in a hug. I couldnt stop my tears from falling. I am so happy.

" geez i am happy to see you too. But could you get your hands off me before i punch you" he grumbled as he stiffled a laugh.

I obliged and as soon as he was out of my grasp, he faced Juvia like i wasnt even around.

"Are you alright Juvia?" He asked. Checking her body of any bruise i might have created.

"I am fine Lyon" she assured him with a smile. As she locked her arms at his waist. Again, like i wasnt standing close to them.

"So you two. . . are a . . . couple ?" I asked softly. Hurt laced my tone.

"Oh, hi Gray." She smiled peeking behind Lyon. "I didnt know you're actually here"

I dont know what to say.

"Lets go home Juvia" Lyon breathed in their embrace as he loosened his hold on her.

"But i am much comfortable here Lyon" she pouted burying her face at his chest.

A chuckle left his lips as he planted a kiss at her forehead.

"Gray is here Juvia. We can continue your P.D.A at home."

"O. . . k" she groaned. Smacking his arm in the process. "But i am tired" she pouted slowly, as she leaned on his body.

" in that case. . ." Lyon breathed, as he pretended to think. And in one swift movement he have her, slumped on his shoulder like a sack.

Her squele echoed into the place as he laughed.

"Lets go Gray" he smiled to me. As Juvia slumped at his hold.

----------------------------------------------

"So you was able to win the fight with the Puppetteer " Lyon breathed as he continued removing the braids that Juvia created at his head.

"Puppetteer?"

"Yes Puppetterer. Thats what that thing is called. Very cunning little villain i might say. It controls the body of another person to do its wishes." He every word spoken in disgust.

" so, could it be the one that controlled me? The time, i killed Juvia?"

"Yes. It obviously is. Thats the reason Juvia looked for ways to get back in time. To know why you killed her." Lyon breathed slowly, each word leaving his lips like a painful memory.

"H-how did you both got back in time?" I questioned as curiousity enveloped my being.

"With a spell ofcourse. Spell, we found in some ruins at one job we did" he smiled proudly. As Juvia entered the wooden doors.

Did i mention we are now at their home?

Right theirs. Juvia and Lyon's home.

I watched as she settled in a stool, close to Lyon. A smile plastered in her lips, as she placed a dish infront of us.

"You must be hungry Gray" she breathed shoving a plate at my face.

"N-no i-i am good" i forced a smile, as i took the dish from her hands amd placed it down the table.

Silence suddenly lingered at the place, and as i looked up, i wished i never did.

For i saw, Lyon trying to stiffle a laugh as Juvia glared at me.

"Wrong answer Gray" Lyon chuckled as he shook his head. My face paled in every second.

"Oh i-i dont u-understand why b-but suddenly i am hungry. T-thank you for the food J-Juvia" i breathed in fear as i placed a spoonful at my mouth.

"Mhmmmhmm. . . yum" i smiled and.i watched as Juvia's form relaxed a bit. Just a bit.

It wasnt long since she left the table to get some drinks, and Lyon took the oppurtunity to lean close, and whisper. . .

"You should know not to reject her offer, especially her cookings." Lyon smiled in amusement. As i forced a smile.
