The Gift That Keeps on Giving || Book 2 (A Gruvia Story) ON HOLD

(T'is the season of giving, so here is my gift to u! Enjoy!)

Dear Juvia,

       I'm writing to you from the place I have been staying at for the past couple of weeks. This place has many secrets to uncover. I would tell you about them, but I wouldn't want to put you in danger because of the very strict censorship. In fact, two of my letters have already been denied when I tried sending it through the mailroom here.. I guess they don't want you to know where I am. Luckily, I have my own method of sending this letter in secret: By snowflake. But just in case, I have to keep my info very limited.

This place is a huge secret itself, not on any maps or known by anyone.. it honestly makes me wonder if what I'm doing here is even legal... But there's nothing to worry about! I'm sure I'll be able to leave soon and return to you and our home. I miss you very much. This place gets kind of.. intimidating at times, but I always seem to feel better when I picture your face or remember your voice. You're my happy place, Juvia, and I'm grateful for that.

I know you're probably upset knowing that I can't come home right now, but just know that I think about you every day and as soon as I'm done with this hell hole, there will be no man nor beast that could keep me from getting on the first train back to Mongolia, this I assure you.

I love you, I really do. I wish nothing more than to hear your voice or hold you in my arms, but sadly that'll have to wait. I hope you're enjoying your time at the guild and that you're still going on jobs. I also hope no one is giving you any trouble, I swear if I found out Flame Brain was causing problems.... But I'm sure it's nothing that you, my strong beautiful wife, couldn't handle.

With love,
Gray

P.S. Although I would love to hear that you're alright, I must insist that you don't try to write back. I'll try to send more letters in the future, but for now, know that I'm fine at M.G.S.I.C and there is nothing to worry your pretty little blue head over. Love you.

Juvia's POV

I smiled as a single tear rolled down my cheek.

Thank Mavis, he's alright.

I folded back up the incredibly thin paper and placed it inside my desk as I closed my window.

It's not every day that a single snowflake with a tiny frozen object in the center floats up to your house.
So when I opened my window, I instantly felt a familiar chill and knew it was my Gray-sama's magic. When I caught the snowflake, it melted and left behind a very thin and tinily folded piece of paper. I had to use tweezers to unfold it, but when I did until it was a normal sized paper, it made my day.. no week.. to hear from him.

When I sat back down, my first instinct was to write back.. But I knew Gray-sama wouldn't me to. If he thought it'd be safest not to, then I will respect that. Besides, I wouldn't even know where to send it to.

Although I feel like it's not very fair that I get to hear from him and he can't from me.

Juvia wonders why the place Gray-sama is at is so strict.. how could they separate Juvia from her beloved?! Baka Thalia probably has something to do with it!

I sighed heavily.

"Love rival.." I muttered to myself as I placed a hand on my stomach.
