"The more you deny love, the stronger it becomes. The closer you draw to it, the more challenging it becomes to evade. Once you accept it, there is no reverting to the past; you become conduits of love and happiness for each other. Though you may not perceive it presently, the love and bond you share surpasses any magical power in this world. If you stand steadfast beside one another and refuse to surrender, victory shall be yours. Therefore, grow and do not fear to love; allow it to impart wisdom about life. Let it serve as your strength, your struggle, your weakness, and your greatest achievement. So don't run away Athena." Fairy Tail Fan Fic Gray x OC Slow updates
