A/N: Just some random thoughts which are complied together to form this one shot. Hope everyone likes this.

As usual, after finishing a mission as a team, the members of team Natsu would crash at Lucy's apartment.

But due to landlady's scolding, they decided to spend sometime at Gray's apartment much to his disappointment.

Gray never entertains anyone to stay at his place even if its for sometime except for certain blunette who decides to intervene his privacy on her own which he got used to it.

As the atmosphere and dynamics between them has surely changed drastically where Gray is quite comfortable around her presence.

Now the hugs initiated by her are no longer uncomfortable but a perfect way of stress buster which he loves and always wants to embrace her in his arms.

Even though he hates to admit his feelings for her openly to herself and others.

But Juvia knows her Gray-sama very well enough to know that his feelings for her are also mutual.

As Gray takes the key to open the door, he warns them,

"Hey think again, we can go back to the guild. My place is not that fancy or clean enough. You guys might not like it."

Natsu punches his shoulder, "Droppy eyes, quit finding excuses. Just open the door I'm hungry."

"Idiot, why did you hit me? Do you want to taste my icy fist on that ugly face of yours, huh?"

Gray yelled back and both bumped their forehead to glare into each other's eyes.

As usual Lucy, Wendy, Happy and Carla sweat dropped while Erza's fuse went off.

She roughly pulled their heads back and forcibly bumped each other. Then she took the key from his hand to open the door.

After opening the door, they entered his apartment much to everyone's shock.

The place was quite neat and clean than Lucy's apartment. Even the smell within the room was refreshing.

"Wow Gray, honestly speaking, I never expected your place to be this neat. I didn't knew you were a clean freak."

Lucy added as she went and sat on the single couch.

"Gray, I'm impressed. I thought I will find your clothes scattered around and the room might be stinking as well, how you just said few minutes back.
   But it's nothing like that. Even the couch looks clean and dusted."

Erza said and went to sit on it with Wendy on her side.

Gray looked shocked as well but he knew who was would have done this job of cleaning his place.

"Haha...it was just an excuse to send you guys back." Gray laughed sheepishly.

Then he went inside the kitchen to get his guests some snacks, luckily he and Juvia got some just few days back before he left for the mission.

Both of them spent their alone time together without anyone suspecting their act.

The reason none of his friends nor the guild mates suspected their secret affair was because of the Juvia's bubbly and cheerful nature.

She was always like this to began with as they knew her love for him.

As he served his friends snacks and sat in the chair of dinning table. "Thanks Gray" they said in unison and began to munch.

Just then, the door opened to reveal his love interest with a hand bag which contained few lunch boxes.

"Gray-sama, wel-welcome ba-back."

Both of them began to fidget as Gray didn't expect Juvia to show up this soon nor Juvia expected her Gray-sama to be with his friends.

"Hi Juvia, what a surprise!" Lucy and Wendy exclaimed.

"Hello everyone" Juvia sheepishly greeted them back and went to sit next to Erza.

"What brings you here?" Erza smirked and shot a glance at Gray. Both of them blushed.

"Well Juvia heard Gray-sama will be coming back from his mission today. So Juvia came to meet him as she missed her Gray-sama."

Juvia smiled and looked at her beloved who also wore a gentle smile. She honestly accepted the fact that she missed him. 

Honesty is one of the traits which Gray loves about her. He sometimes wonder how she can openly admit her feelings in front of everyone without any fear.

The smile on Gray's face didn't go unnoticed by the girls and the exceeds.

Happy giggled and began his usual teasing act, "Heeeee likkkkeeess her...her…"

"Shut up" Gray yelled as his face grew red due to embarrassment.

"Hey Juvia, what did you bring? I can smell something tasty. Can we eat it?"

Natsu asked her as he eyed the bag in her hands.

Juvia opened the bag and handed Natsu the 3 lunch boxes. "Wow, it tastes delicious as well. Thank you" Natsu began to munch the contents.

"Hey flame-breath, leave some for others." Gray growled and snatched the other 2 boxes from his hands.

Then after eating their little portions of Juvia's handmade dish.

Erza and others got up to give some privacy to the eagerly waiting couples.

Lucy winked at Erza indicating her to follow her lead,

"Thanks for the food Juvia. Come let's go home before it gets dark."

Juvia began to think of some excuse so that she can stay back with her beloved without making it obvious to others.

"Yeah Juvia, come let's go to the dorm. Didn't Levy say she is throwing sleepover party? Come let's go so that we can reach on time."

Erza casually stated and caught hold of Juvia's wrist.

"Erza-San, Juvia thinks Levy-San's sleepover party is tomorrow. Moreover, Juvia has some work in the nearby flower shop. So carry on, Juvia will come on her own. Bye"

Juvia tried her best to convince them.

"Okay if you say so. Bye Gray, thanks for having us."

Erza waved her hand and lead Wendy and Carla out followed by Lucy and Natsu.

As soon as Juvia closed the door, Gray hugged her from behind and rested his head on her shoulder.

"Finally we have our lone time. I missed you." Gray said in husky voice.

Juvia smiled and turned around to face him. She caressed his cheeks, "Even Juvia missed you, Gray-sama."

Gray leaned forward to capture her plumpy lips to lock his lips against it which earned a pleasing sound from his lady-love.

Then they moved to the couch to make themselves comfortable. Juvia sat on his laps hooking her arms around his neck while Gray has stripped down to his black jeans and his hands circled her small waist bringing her much closer to his body.

Gray began to attack her weak spots with his feather kisses making her a moaning mess.

During this process, she kissed him back equally on her favourite spots of his upper body.

So far their secret affair has only progressed upto the make out stage.

For now both of them were a bit uncomfortable in levelling their relationship further.

Once they calmed down, Gray placed his head on the crook of her neck while she ran her fingers through his thick raven locks massaging his scalps which had a soothing effect on the ice mage.

"Didn't I say you don't have to clean up my mess? Why are stressing out yourself?"

Gray slowly asked her in soft voice.

"But Juvia likes to keep her surroundings clean. She doesn't see this as a burden because Juvia loves to do her household chores." Juvia softly whispered in his ears.

Gray pulled back and looked at her blue orbs, "Thank you for everything, Juvia." He earnestly thanked her for everything she has done as a whole.

"What happened Gray-sama? Why are you thanking Juvia?"

She didn't stop massaging his scalps.

"Juvia, I think I'm hurting you in some way or other. But still, you are here by my side always. I mean Always."

Gray emphasized the last word.

Juvia smiled genuinely and kissed his forehead,

"Because you are my sunshine, Gray-sama. I love you."

Gray looked a bit surprised by Juvia's sudden confession but that doesn't mean he didn't expect or hated that.

He hugged her back and squeezed tightly, "Juvia, I….I….Lo…"

Juvia stopped him in mid by placing her index finger on his lips.

Gray looked confused by her action, "Gray-sama, you don't have to force yourself to say your feelings. Juvia understands and knows her Gray-sama  well enough to know he loves her very much. You are man of action rather than words." Juvia smiled.

"This is what I love about you. You know me very well than I can know about myself.
     Always thinking about me and my happiness. I don't know how my luck shined in your form.
     Do I really deserve someone who is selfless, cheerful, caring and adorable as my girlfriend?              
     Seriously Juvia, I have been thinking for awhile to say this to you.
           I Love You, Juvia.              "

Gray finally confessed his feelings to her.

Tears were streaming down Juvia's eyes as she was ecstatic to her beloved's confession.

She hugged him back and kissed him every where on his face.

Gray chuckled and of course returned her kissed lovingly. "Hey now stop crying. It's a moment to be happy and joyous. Come let's for a date. Where do you want to go?"

He asked her as he ran his hand up and down her back.

"No, Juvia doesn't want to go anywhere. Let's stay here and cuddle. Juvia wants to feel your warmth and hear your heart beat."

Juvia said with a blush and hid her face on his bare chest.

Gray smirked and whispered in her ears, "I know a better way to fulfill your wish which involves bed and pillows."

"Gray-sama, stop teasing Juvia."

She playfully smacked his chest and hid face much deeper in his chest to hide her growing blush.

"Ahh it hurts. You are making me scream instead the other way around."

Gray chuckled and brought her even close to his body.

"Gray-sama, stop you pervert."

Juvia exclaimed shyly as she knew something was up for tonight.

"I'm your pervert." Gray said in a teasing tone and kissed her lips.

Little did they know their friends were eavesdropping (no offense) on their little mushy conversation with the help of Natsu's incredible hearing sense thanks to his dragon slayer magic.

"Yeah she is right. That droopy eyes is one big pervert. Hope he doesn't do anything funny before I can experience with my certain someone."

Natsu said in a disgusted tone and almost whispering the last part with a huge blush on his face.

"Finally those two are together. I'm really happy for them. Both of them deserves this happiness and each other."

Erza smiled and remembered the conversation she had with Gray on the balcony 3 years back.

"Yeah, even I'm really happy for them.  Luckily we sent Wendy with Happy and Carla or else her innocence would have been ruined.
    As expected those two can't keep themselves off each other. I wonder how did Gray manage all this time."

Lucy rubbed her chin and began to think but still adorned a cute, genuine smile on her face.

She turned her head to glance at her crush and thought when he will let her know about his feelings.

Suddenly Natsu got up abruptly, "Hey Lucy, Erza come let's go before I hear their pleasing noises more."

Girls giggled and followed the fire dragon slayer. They knew tomorrow would be a lively day as those two love birds won't be able to escape from Mirajane and Cana's teasing session.
