Living at the Edge had been fun while it lasted, and they would always remember, but with the Hunters gone, life at Berk called them back and soon, they had a new routine.

Juvia made her money by sewing and baking – skills she perfected while living at the Edge – but she still found time to fly with Bozu in the mornings and before she retired to her house at night and she spent time whenever they could, which wasn't much, giving the fact Silver increased Gray's duties as training to become Chief one day.

So, the young couple snatched any moment they could to be together.

"I can't believe Natsu and Lucy are getting married in three days." Gray said while kissing Juvia's neck as she straddled him, both at one of the hot springs, the one only the Chief used (and since learning about it, Gray was more than happy to share with Juvia).

"Juvia does." She giggled and moaned a little when his hands roamed over her body, the hot water and his touches keeping the cold air away from them. "She has been baking a lot for that wedding."

"The Heartfilias are the richest people in town, so I am guessing you will be paid well." He kissed her clavicle and she hummed in agreement. "To think that was almost me."

The blunette's body tensed and she pulled him by the hair, so she could look at his face, and he looked up at her, dazed, expecting her to kiss him, but instead, she was frowning at him. "Almost you?"

"Uh..." Alarm bells rang inside his mind, but he tried to fix it. Bad move. "Our parents wanted to marry us when we turned of age. Richest family, Chief's family. They thought it made sense." He shrugged.

"You almost married Lucy-san." Juvia's face was as impassive as it could be but Gray knew, inside, she was burning with jealousy.

"The contract was never done." He was quick to tell her. "Lucy and I grew up together, she's like a sister, she always loved Natsu and I wasn't interested at all. Period." Juvia narrowed her eyes. "At all, I swear."

"You never told me that." Juvia said.

Gray shrugged. "I barely remember most of the time." It was clear she still didn't like it. so he moved his hands to her waist and tried to reassure her once more. "She will be married in three days, there was never anything for you to worry or ever will be, okay?"

It took her a moment to lean and kiss him, hard, her hand going between them and she bit his lower lip, making him groan. "Juvia will make you remember whom you belong to just so you won't ever forget."

For the next hour they stayed at the hot springs, Gray thought of nothing else other than Juvia.

The wedding was beautiful, and it made Gray remember the betrothal necklace he had gotten Juvia months before. Certainly, enough time had passed so he could propose to her without her thinking it was a way to make her forgive him.

After the couple left for their honeymonth – now with dragons of their own, it was easier to they decided to travel around the archipelago instead of being locked away at their new home – Gray thought it would be time to ask, but his father told him he was sending Gray away to visit some of their allies, Erza would accompany him.
