The first thing Gray noticed when he woke up was that his whole body was aching. He opened his eyes slowly and saw the blue sky and for one blissful second he forgot where he was and he groaned in annoyance by instinct, he wanted to sleep some more.

And then he remembered, memories flooding his mind.

"You two will now fight to the death." "Words cannot express the joy Juvia has felt getting to know you, Gray-sama." "Juvia's life will forever and always belong only to you, Gray-sama." "She's never coming back." "Your true mortal enemy is none other than a man you know all too well... Etherious Natsu Dragneel." "I said move." "I'm not asking again." "What do you two imbeciles think you're doing?" "Juvia is fine, though she's seen better days."

Gray sat so fast his vision blackened for a moment.

It couldn't be true. He had seen her die, he had held her body, yet he remembered Juvia alive. How?

Looking around, Gray could see that there was a fight occurring nearby and even if he wanted to help, he needed to know for sure if he was dreaming or not, if Juvia was alive. Just a few meters away from him, he could see the familiar shade of blue of Juvia's hair and he crawled there, every nerve of his body protesting.

She was on her back and Gray remembered seeing her just less than an hour before in a pool of her own blood and watching her last breaths.

His eyes were wide and he was shaking when he finally gathered the courage to touch her. Slowly his fingers touched her stomach, around the place she had struck herself earlier. Her skin was soft, warm and if not for her torn clothes and the fabric stained with blood, he would've never guessed she had been mortally wounded. Wendy's healing was truly amazing.

Gray watched her chest move as she breathed, his hand still on her stomach and his vision got blurry. She was alive.

"Shit." He whispered to himself and dried his eyes before the tears could fall.

With a thud, he fell next to her, their shoulders touching, and he looked her way. She still had her eyes closed and even though he would give the world for her to open them at that second so he could see the sparkle in them, he knew she needed rest just as much as he did.

Maybe they could go somewhere incredibly boring and just sleep for one week. Gray moaned in pain when he tried to move and his back hurt. Perhaps two weeks would be better.

Juvia frowned in her sleep and the movement fascinated him. Such a small meaningless thing for other people, but to him, that small movement made his heart beat faster.

She was really alive. She was really lying next to him, within his reach. She was really back to him.

"I asked you to come back. And you did. Stubborn woman." Gray whispered to himself and his eyes stung and got blurry one more time. "If this isn't a second chance, I don't know what is." One tear fell and he looked up to the sky. "Crap." He tried to blink them away and then hastily tried to dry his face. "Shit, what a day. We have so much to do but all I want to do is just lie here. Like this."

"Sadly, we can't." Her voice froze him. Wide-eyed, he turned his head her way again and there she was, clearly tired, but her blue eyes sparkled, so alive. She smiled and his heart started to beat so much faster. "Hello, Gray-sama."

"Hi." He answered, dumbly and breathless to see her awake and smiling, and despite his best efforts, he teared up again. "Goddammit!" He was so tired of crying. He absolutely hated it. "Sorry, this day has been..."

"It has." Juvia agreed and her hand found his between their bodies and to his own surprise, he held her hand tighter. "Juvia would prefer if it was over already."

"Understatement of the century." Gray snorted and then tightened his grasp on her hand, and looked into her eyes. "You died."

"I did."

"I was... I thought... You have no idea... I asked. I begged for you to..." He couldn't even finish a sentence, his eyes burning again and there was a lump in his throat. "You were... and I was..."

"Juvia is sorry." The blunette whispered and there was a loud explosion not too far from where they were and she looked up, moving so she could do so even lying down. "We should help them." She sat but Gray wasn't having it.

"Juvia, we need to t-" He saw Juvia turn, lean over him and then her lips were on his. Gray's eyes widened and a moment later, she moved away from him, face red and honestly the most beautiful thing Gray had ever seen.

"Just in case." She told him, shy. Gray opened his mouth, but she shook her head. "We have all the time in the world. Now we have to help them."

Finally gathering his wits, Gray sat and nodded. "We have to help them." Juvia gave one nod and was about to get up when Gray put his hands on her cheeks and joined their lips again, this time she was the one surprised. One second later, she relaxed and during those moments only they existed in the world. "Just in case." Gray whispered to her, his hands still cupping her face. "The moment the war is over..."

"Yes." Juvia agreed. "The moment the war is over."

"Alright." He nodded. "Let's go." Gray was the first to get up and offered her a hand.

They did have all the time in the world and he would make sure they spend it together. He was never losing her again.
