As the morning sun rays falls on them through the gap between window and curtains. Gray and Juvia slowly wakes up from their peaceful slumber.

Gray removes Juvia's arms from his torso and plants a cute kiss on her forehead and greets her with his genunine smile, 'Good Morning honey'.

Juvia flashes him a blush tinted smile, 'Good Morning, Gray-sama'.

Juvia got up and rushed to the bathroom to take shower and change back into her clothes as she was wearing only one of Gray's t-shirt which reached only till her mid thighs.

She stood in front the mirror and watched those beautiful marks which gracefully adnored her pale skin, by her Gray the previous night which made her blush wildly while remembering it.

There were two important spots where the marks were left purposely; one on her neck and another one near her guild mark to show the world she belonged to him.

On the other hand, even Gray had those hickeys on his neck, chest near his guild mark and abdomen.

As she got ready and made them breakfast while he got ready. It was their first breakfast together as a couple.

While silently enjoying their breakfast and occasionally feeding each other, the mood around them of the best and warm.

'Hey Gray-sama!! What should I do with these? Should I cover them or let it open? It's all your fault.' Juvia said while pouting her lips and pointing to hickey on her neck and chest.

The dress from yesterday didn't do the perfect job of hiding but in turn, show cased, it even more in a blood warming manner which according to Gray was unresistable.

Gray chuckled and tried to reach her hair to ruffle it. 'Well you are the one to speak. Look what you have done. We both are equal and similar in this situation.

Fine, I think I have a muffler so wear it around your neck to cover it properly till we leave the guild.
Or else those morons, will tease us, especially me for the rest of my life.'

He went upto his cupboard to look for the black muffler and wore it around her neck. 'Yes Gray-sama! I will try to do my best.'

After sometime, they left for the guild. It was around 1 in afternoon when they reached.

Meanwhile in guild

'Hey I didn't know that was what he understood, moron. I just blushed seeing those baby puffer fishes and extended my hands to grab them.'

Finally Lucy made him realise what led Gray to hit. After listening the reason, Natsu blushed and was waiting to pay back Gray for his hitting.

Suddenly, the guild door opened to reveal Juvia. She went upto her friends and greeted them.

'Hi!! Good afternoon, everyone. Sorry Juvia woke up late.' And they greeted back. Then Erza inquired her, 'where were you yesterday? Why didn't you come back to room?'

Juvia began to fidget and sweat. She and Gray thought they will maintain their relationship in secret for sometime until Gray is able to open up in public.

Juvia as a supportive girlfriend chose to help him out and will wait till the time comes to disclose it.

'No Erza-san!! Juvia was at her room. She came home at 11p.m. That's why you were not able to see her.' Juvia totally denied Erza's accusations.

Erza and others were watching her with the comical slit eyed expression which clearly showed they didn't believe.

Juvia to avoid that uncomfortable aura went up to Mira to ask her favourite drink.

Levy: 'Hey isn't she hiding something?'

Lucy: 'Yeah, she looks different. And I don't know why she is wearing that muffler.'

Wendy: 'Lucy-san, did you see Juvia-san got hurt? She is having that bandage around her guild mark.'

Seeing all those changes on Juvia, they were wondering what might have happened. On the other hand, the boys were like, 'She smells totally like that Ice-prick. And she is not on her usual fan-girl mode.'

Once again the guild door opened to reveal Gray fully clothed which was unusual sight for the guild members. He saw his friends and went up to them. 'Yo!! What's up?'

Now the dragonslayers at the bench knew something did happen as even he had Juvia's scent all over him. 'Nothing just sitting idlily. What took you long Gray?' Lucy asked him.

Gray as usual who was good in hiding his intentions, told them casually, 'That Lyon, came over to my place and took some time to send him out. That's why.'

Suddenly, Natsu gave him surprise punch on his face which broke into their usual brawl tagging with Gajeel. During the fight, Gray's stripped and was left with his pants.

Natsu and Gajeel stopped pounding him and were looking at him with a shocked expression and the girls were blushing.

He didn't understand their expression until Juvia handed him his shirt. Cana who was watching the scene came slyly and removed Juvia's muffler and the bandage.

Now it was clear to everyone what happened yesterday.

'Juvia!! When did this happen?' Juvia was fully flushed and Gray face palmed.

'Yeah it happened yesterday. So what we are a couple. So it's mutual.' Gray said while blushing like mad man.

The girls teased her and Gray for the marks both left on each other.
'I chose to hide it for a while because of idiotic teasing session but now that all of you know, it's fine. Yeah I love Juvia.'

Hearing him the guild roared in joy and congratulated the third couple.

'So what happened yesterday after Gray took you with him?' Lucy asked Juvia. And she began telling them.
