Gray Fullbuster and Juvia Lockser aren't a perfect couple. They never have been it. But they love what they have.

She loves how he is blushing when she kisses and touches him. She loves how his dark messy hair look like. She loves how gently he holds her and then makes love to her.

And he... can we say he loves her? He definitely has a strong and deep bond with his dear Juvia, but can she really be sure of his love? Juvia has never been sure and this pisses of Gray a lot. Today he has decided that he should do something about that, because his little drop of sun should be happy with him, not worry all the time.

These two has lived together for almost two years. They have built a relationship filled with trust and understanding. Juvia is sensitive and Gray is protective to the ones they love and care about.

Juvia just came back home from work. She works as a biology teacher in a primary school, so she has a good contact with children and a very big and warm heart.

When she just wanted to turn the door key, her phone rang. She quickly took a smartphone from a purse and taped a green earphone to answer without even looking who is calling.

"Hello?"

"Juvia? Can we meet?" her beloved asked, little nervously.

"Gray-sama!" Juvia cheered up. Even though all these years (they have been together for four years, but have lived together for two), she was still enthusiastic about her Gray-sama.

"So?" he was impatient and harsh. Juvia was surprised.

"What are you talking about, Gray-sama? We live together, we will see each other in... three hours? Did you forget?" the woman giggled a little, but there was no answer. "Gray-sama? Has something happened?" she was getting nervous then. Her boyfriend rarely was harsh to her.

"No, it's just..." he finally replied, but definitely didn't know what to say. "I just have to see you now. It's important, Juvs." okay, he used her nickname what he used to only when they were alone. It couldn't be nothing bad, right?

"Oh, okay, Juvia understands." she didn't know how to react. "Where will we meet?"

"To be honest, I'm downstairs." Juvia was surprised again.

"You mean... here?"

"Yeah, I mean here." then she heard footsteps and in the same time echo of his voice resounded in the staircase. She turned around to face him. Her face expressed a little bit of fear and curiosity. How many surprises this man has in his sleeve?

"Gray-sama, why...?" she couldn't even finish her sentence because her boyfriend came to her and shutted her mouth with a soft but deep kiss. In the same time he caressed Juvia's cheek having eyes full of feelings. She couldn't understand what's happening. Generally speaking, usually she used to be the one who begins kissing, touching and making love. Gray used to do it sometimes, but not as often as Juvia. He was an introverted guy, but near her everything was different and this was the thing he wanted to show her, this time not only with physical contact but verbally. "Juvia, I really want to tell you something. But not here."

"O-Okay... But where...?" again, she couldn't finish, because Gray took her hand tightly and began to walk. Juvia could only quickly remove the key from the lock and follow him.

"Just come with me, bee." he smirked. Bee? What the...? What happened to Gray? And what should Juvia expect?

***

Right after five minutes, they were in the park near their block. Gray was still holding Juvia's hand tight and won't let go like she would run away. They were walking around for a while, but women finally spoke.

"Gray-sama?"

"Yeah, Juvia?" he eyed her.

"Juvia really wants to know what happened?" she stopped walking to look at him with determination.

"You see..." he again didn't know what to tell her or maybe how to tell her something. "I want to show you something." he blushed a little.

"The problem is that I can't understand why are you behaving like that." women really wanted to know what changed in Gray. She wasn't neither insensitive nor bathed in hot water, just curious.

"Okay, Juvia." he finally swept up and tried to play it cool. "For some time, something was flowing inside my mind... but I never was ready to say it to you and I was sure that I won't do it until... I don't know, until I or you would die. However, I had conversation with Natsu today and..." he was so nervous and Juvia even increased his fear with cumbersome questions.

"And?!"

"And... and I don't know when I would be ready to say this three beautiful words to you which I only said to couple of people, my father and mother for example. But someday, we will become family." he said truly and Juvia calmed down.

"Juvia thinks we are family already, Gray-sama. Juvia is really happy with you." blunette smiled cute and that melt her boyfriend's heart.

"Maybe you are right, Juvs." oh, she definitely loved when he called her like that. "I'm really sorry that I can't tell you what you want to hear."

"It's alright." she went to him and carresed his cheek. "Juvia told you that she is really happy and she would never exchange you for anybody else. Even for Hugh Grant. And you know that I love Hugh Grant." women took her hand and giggled and then realisation hitted her. "Oh, but not as strongly as Gray-sama, of course!" she began to wave her hands.

"Hey, Juvia, calm down." man smiled at how cute she is. "I know, okay?"

"O-Okay... that's good, Juvia thinks."

"But." he began and when he said his next worlds, Juvia's eyes widened and she momentarily frozed. "I also want you to know that even if I'm not quite ready to say 'I love you', I can say that I love this thing we have, Juvia." he widened his smile. "Because it's ours."

"Wh-What... Gray-sama... just said...?" she can't believe.

"Don't make me say this second time, Juvs!" he lifted up, blushing and his girlfriend, unexpectedly, giggled and throwed herself and kisses at him happily and cried a little.

"Juvia loves you too, Gray-sama!"
