Hello all, this is the final prompt and therefore final chapter but I would like to thank all of you who followed, favourited and reviewed, you guys are the best. Enjoy!

It had been a year. A fantastic, crazy, wonderful, exciting year and Juvia felt like the luckiest girl in the world. She had been with Gray for a year longer that she every thought she would be and that made her ecstatic and hopefully many more to come. Gray had taken the day off from the guild; no missions, no fighting, no Lucy, no Natsu, no Lucy, no Erza, and most importantly no Lucy. The whole day was for her and for her alone. He had made her breakfast in bed, gave her a platinum necklace, (he had been doing more missions with her, which meant less destruction, and as a result more pay) and had promised her one more gift later that night. All that was left was for Juvia to give Gray his gifts, and there were a lot of them; a new chain for his sword necklace, a whole mess of new clothes that she thought would suit him, several boxes of cold treats she assumed he would like and something that the woman at the lingerie store told her would he would like; he always said she looked good in blue so she decided she would wear those that very night.

It was truly hard work wrapping up all of the gifts that she had bought him but after two hours, she was done. Every package was wrapped in blue paper with dozens of small snowflakes dotting the crisp surface, and tied together neatly with a white bow. All that she needed to do now was to somehow figure a way to transport the incredible number of gifts to her boyfriend's home minus the lingerie; she was wearing that. Deciding to get some help in carrying things, she called in a few favours that a few Dragon Slayers owed her; namely Natsu and Gajeel. Juvia managed to give them incredibly good advice on how to approach Lucy and Levy and she believed she deserved compensation for her work.

Gajeel and Natsu were begrudgingly roped into carrying the mountain of presents that she had purchased for Gray, Natsu complaining especially loudly to the point that Juvia had to, in a very ladylike fashion, kick him in the shins. By the time they all reached Gray's apartment, Juvia had them wait downstairs while she turned into water and moved through his pipes to make sure he was home. To her (perverted) delight she saw him out of the many holes in the shower head. Running the other way through the pipe, she reformed in front of the two slayers, heavily blushing, and they could only accurately guess what she saw.

"Was ice princess stripping? Is that why you're blushing?" Gajeel and Natsu laughed in unison. Ever the lady, Juvia took the parcels they carried and delicately balanced them on top of the ones she had piled in her arms, and then doused both dragon slayers down with plenty of water. When the shock finally wore off, Natsu and Gajeel looked around so they could offer some kind of payback, only to find the water mage had disappeared.

Gray had just gotten out of the shower and was towelling off in the living room when he almost had a heart attack hearing a key slide into his door. Realising it was the only person he gave a spare key to, he smiled in Juvia's direction as he wrapped the towel around his lower half so that she didn't jump his bones the minute she saw him as she had in the past. What he locked eyes with, instead of her gorgeous azure orbs, was a walking stack of presents. He almost freaked out and attacked it, before realising that the idea of walking presents was the most ridiculous thing he had ever come up with. Juvia waddled in, the packages swaying precariously until Gray came up and pulled the top half of the pile off and set them down on his coffee table. Juvia made a soft sound in appreciation as she set down the rest of the packages.

"Juvi, we already had Christmas a month ago." Gray deadpanned; looking at the monumental amount of gifts that were wrapped in what he could only assume to be Christmas paper.

"No, silly, these are Gray-sama's anniversary presents. Juvia didn't know exactly what you wanted so she bought a whole bunch of things she hopes you will like." She replied sweetly.

"Are you kidding me? These are all for me? I didn't do enough!" he thought aloud, feeling suddenly terrible that all he had done was get her a necklace, dinner reservations, and that.

"Gray-sama, Juvia loves your present. She just went a little overboard in trying to find you something that you might like. But look, she is wearing the necklace right now." She bent over, her necklace and her cleavage flashing at the young ice mage.

"Ok," he smiled genuinely; the smile he saved for her, "can I open up my gifts now?"

"Juvia thought that you would never ask her."

After an hour of tearing up paper and thank you kisses, Gray had a fridge full of snacks, a wardrobe full of a whole bunch of new clothes (Juvia had really good taste, or at least new his) and a brand spanking new steel chain around his neck. Putting on his some of his new clothes, a white jacket and dark pants with a blue shirt (similar enough to his old clothes to be comfortable but far more stylish to boot) Gray grabbed Juvia's hand and the two set out to the restaurant Gray had booked a table for.
The restaurant was lavishly decorated, designed specifically for couples in its red coloured style. The floor was red, the walls were red and the curtains were red. Only the tablecloths were not a shade of red, rather they were black; giving the whole place a modern vibe that still had an air of sensuality and closeness. Gray had picked a booth next to a window where they could look out onto the river in Magnolia while they enjoyed their anniversary dinner. Juvia was always pleasant company and now that a year had passed the two of them had reached a comfortable place where they had already felt each other out and all there was left to do was make memories.

Gray took the time in the middle of his meal to stare at her and take the time to (not for the first or last time) appreciate her beauty. There was no finer woman around; her long waves of hair falling around her shoulders, cascading down like a waterfall, her beautiful blue eyes that were always shining so brightly, her plump, pink lips that he adored kissing, her cute little nose, and her beautiful pale skin. He felt as lucky as anyone ever was; she had chosen him, had stuck by him all that time he had ignored her advances because he was too dense to notice them and continued to love him.

He knew how much she loved him, it was obvious. She would tell him she loved him every now and then. Not so much that it began to lose its impact but just enough that it reminded him, whenever she said it, that he had her in his life, her whole being was devoted to him and him alone. She loved him and nothing would change that. But did she know just how much he loved her? How much he needed her, craved her when she wasn't around? He feared the idea that she didn't know, he feared leaving things unsaid, especially in the uncertain career they had chosen.

"Hey, Juvi, do you wanna go for a walk?" he asked, wanting some privacy.

"Sure, Gray-sama, where to?" she asked, smiling softly at him while she ran a hand through her hair.

"I'm not sure, maybe the river or the park?"

"The river sounds nice."

"Ok, let's get out of here, I'll get the cheque."

Taking her hand in his own and interlacing their fingers, Gray and Juvia walked hand in hand to the park, a comfortable silence settling over the two of them. They found a bench and sat down, Juvia resting her head against his chest while he wrapped his arm around her to keep her warm. Gray took untangled his hand from her and stroked her hair for a few moments. Looking down at her lovingly he took her hand in his own and gently touched her ring finger. Thinking now or never, he wrapped his thumb and index finger around her ring finger, forming an 'O' shape. Taking his hand away he focused his magic to his thumb and index finger, a beautiful ring of intricately carved ice formed with a raindrop shaped jewel of ice at the top. The pain subsided after a second.

"Happy anniversary, Juvia." He said as he slipped the ring onto her finger. She gasped and looked down at it.

"Gray-sama it's beautiful?" her eyes started to water.

"This ring is made of my strongest magic, you never saw me come close to using it, but I can guarantee you that it will never melt. Like my love for you, it will last forever, Juvia. In the world we live in, there is nothing I fear more than leaving things unsaid so I will say it, I love you Juvia, I love you so much and I never want to lose you, I want to be with you forever." She shed tears of joy, finally hearing him say what she had wanted to hear for years on end.

"I love you too, Gray-sama."

And there you go, it was a joy writing this and I would just like to mention that I have decided to take requests; so if you want a particular say Gruvia, Grana, Nalu, GaLe or something of the type done (doesn't have to be Fairy Tail) just send me a private message!

Have a wonderful day,
