A Crappy Valentine's Day

#

Using his Ice Make Magic, Gray made a key to his girlfriend's apartment. She had moved from Fairy Hills so he could visit her almost three years before.

It was Valentine's day and Juvia hadn't gone to his apartment or to the Guild yet and Valentine's day was her day! She went all out. She baked, baked and baked.

The whole Guild waited for it, actually because there was no way Gray could eat all that. Of course, he got special chocolates and, well... treats, that day that involved no clothes and some whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

To say Gray looked forward to Valentine's Day was an understatement and that year he finally got her a nice gift: a beautiful bracelet with a cross and blue sapphire – the bracelet version of his necklace. He had to get a hundred jobs to pay for it, but he was sure she was going to like it.

Instead, he hadn't seen her all day.

He saw some pans, baking trays, bars of chocolate, baking flour and various utensils she'd need to bake cakes, cookies and all types of chocolate goods. They were all just lying there, unused.

Concerned, he called her name as he walked further inside the apartment in the direction of her bedroom and heard a pained moan. He froze for less than a second before he rushed to the bedroom, afraid of what he was going to find.

"Juvia?" He opened the bedroom door and saw his girlfriend on the floor, on her stomach and moaning in pain. "Juvia!" He ran to her side and kneeled next to her, concerned. He didn't see any wounds, but she sounded in pain. "Juvia?" He pulled the blue curls of her hair from her face and saw she was pale.

"Gray-sama?" She opened one eye, her cheek was glued on the floor so her answer was more like 'Grayshama?' and he was just a little relieved to hear her.

"What's wrong?" He asked, worried. "Why are you on the floor? Are you hurt? Did you fall? I can help you up." He made to help her but she pushed his hands away.

"Noooo." She complained. "It hurt less like this. Please."

"What hurts less?" Gray sat by her side on the floor, a hand on her lower back, clearly confused.

"Everything." Juvia moaned again and he frowned so she explained. "Juvia has cramps. Awful, from the devil, cramps. And this position plus the coolness of the floor are the only things making her feel slightly better."

"Oh." Gray blinked two times while processing her words. "This place is going to start to warm up soon."

Juvia just snorted and said. "Please. Juvia started over there." She pointed next to the bed with her chin. "She just moves when it's not cool anymore."

Gray couldn't believe his eyes or ears. There was, his girlfriend, one of the most talented Mages in the country, lying on the floor, wearing her pajama shorts, her shirt was rolled up under her breasts so she could feel the coolness better, he guessed, her hair was a mess of curls and, well... she looked completely ridiculous.
