Hickey

"How was training today?" They were almost finishing dinner when Gray asked their fifteen-year-old son, while Juvia fed their three-year-old daughter, Rose, some spaghetti. "You were later than usual."

"Uh, yeah. It was okay." Gris nodded, his dark blue hair moving but he kept looking down to his plate and Gray frowned, his son was usually more talkative when it came down to sharing about his training sessions.

"Who did you train with today? The twins?" Being a few years older, the Redfox Twins usually took on the younger ones to practice.

"I... uh... I was with... Iggy, actually." Gray's frown deepened when Gris' face became red and he still refused to look up from his food. Ignacia "Iggy" Dragneel was Natsu and Lucy's daughter, about six months younger than Gris, as beautiful as her mother and as 'fired up' as her father.

"Is that so?" Gray was more and more curious and he studied his son more closely and he notice something purple on his son's neck, under the white fur on the collar of Gris' coat. "What's that?" Without even thinking, Gray reached for the collar and saw a purple bruise. "Are you hurt?"

"Hurt?" Juvia finally looked up, worried. No one hurt her baby.

"No. I'm fine" Gris pushed his father's hand away and tried to cover his wound, face all red. "You know what, I'm done eating."

"No, no, no, mister." Juvia used the tone she had mastered since she gave birth: The mom voice. She got up, leaving the plate so Rose could attempt to finish her dinner while she checked on her oldest child. "You sit down and let me take a look."

"Please don't, mom." Gris sat back down but kept his hand on his neck. "Really, it's nothing."

"Let me see." The blunette demanded and pushed Gris' hand away, earning a groan from her son, who complied with reluctance. "How did you get this?"

Gray finally took a good look at it and he raised his eyebrows; if he were not mistaken, that was- He looked towards his son and saw the truth in Gris' eyes and his son was pleading for him to intervene.

Apparently, his training session that afternoon involved getting hickeys from Iggy Dragneel.

"Juvia, let the boy go." Gray told his wife, who was fussing and clearly haven't figure out what the 'injury' was.

"Our son is hurt." Juvia told him. "Create some ice so we can put on it."

The Ice Mage sighed. "Gris, go to your room." His wife looked over her shoulder, affronted. "Now."

Using his mother's distraction, Gris slipped away and practically ran away from the kitchen.

"Gris Fullbuster, return right now!" Juvia said once she noticed the boy's absence.

"Let him go, he wasn't hurt during practice." Gray said and took a glance at Rose, who was happily making a mess with her food and completely ignoring the boring adult stuff.

"He was hurt."

"Not while practicing."

Juvia frowned. "What?"

"Remember when we started dating and after a while we would just make-out like crazy?" Gray asked, trying to lead her into the answer.

"Yes." He frown deepened. "What does it have to do with-"

"Remember the marks we left each other with when we were way into it?"

"Yes."

"Compare it to Gris' injury." He told her and waited.

Gray saw the moment she realized what happened to Gris because her eyes widened in a comical way and she looked scandalized.

"It can't be." She shook her head. "He's a child."

"No, he is a fifteen-year-old hormonal teenager." Gray snorted. "Trust me, not a child. No, Rose, princess. Careful." He told their daughter when she picked a spaghetti and tried to eat it but fell on her lap. "It's not a big deal, Juvia. The world is not going to end like it was back when we were that age, he can be a normal teenager."

"But..." Juvia was still in denial and confused as she sat on Gris' chair, next to Gray. "He's... Juvia's baby."

Gray sighed and put a hand on her thigh. "I know he is, but he's also growing up. He can still be your baby and a regular teenager."

"Why are you so calm about this?" Juvia asked.

"Because my son was out there making out with Natsu's daughter and he'll go insane once he hears it and I brag about it." Gray chuckled and Juvia rolled her eyes with her husband's silly competition with the Dragon Slayer. "Besides, I am glad he is going through the regular stuff, without things like Zeref's goons and the man himself making it hard to."

"Juvia is glad he is having a normal childhood, but... it seems I held him for the first time yesterday and now he's making out with girls!" The blunette said with a sigh.

"Kinda proud of that, actually." Gray chuckled when Juvia slapped his upper arm. "What? I was understandably concerned: I thought he took after me on that department and would wait until he was more than twenty to find a girlfriend. Turns out he took after you."

"You were a late bloomer." Juvia admitted. "Good for Juvia otherwise you could've found someone else before you met her."

Gray snorted. "Please, You had a boyfriend before and we're still here. I know enough now to understand we would end up here regardless."

"Took you long enough." Juvia leaned and gave him a peck on the lips. "You do know what Gris coming home with hickeys means, right?"

"That he's got a girlfriend?" Gray asked, glad it was Natsu's daughter. Oh, the fun he'd have once the Flamebrain found out.

"No, it means you will go in there and have a conversation with him about limits and about" she glanced at their daughter "the birds and bees."

"What?" Gray said at the same time Rose giggled and started to happily sing-song "Bees, bees, bees."

"Oh, yes." She nodded. "You are very proud of our son, but now you need to make sure he knows everyone has limits – himself and Iggy-chan – and he better respect them. Not that Iggy-chan wouldn't burn him if she felt uncomfortable, but even so. Our son needs a reminder he's a gentleman."

"Okay, but I don't need to have the talk with him anymore. He knows where babies come from." Gray was exasperated.

"Does he know how to prevent babies to come from where they come from?" She asked and Gray seemed unsure – they had the talk with Gris when he was eight and it just covered the basics. Sure his friends might've tell him but he couldn't be certain.

"Maybe... not." He granted the point to his wife. "A minute ago you were surprised he was kissing girls and now you are concerned with" Gray glanced at Rose "s-e-x?" He spelled.

"Someone has to. Juvia is way too young to be a grandmother and it appears he took after me when it comes to relationships." Juvia had started dating way earlier than Gray did. "Add that to the teenager hormones and there we have it."

"Point taken." Gray nodded. "I'll talk to him later tonight, he's too embarrassed now."

"Alright." Juvia agreed and glanced at Rose. "Gods, I can't believe we will have to go through with that again in about twelve years."

Gray frowned and when he understood her words, he groaned in annoyance. "She's three. Let's not worry about it for now, please? One kid at the time."

"Yeah." Juvia nodded. "Besides, girls can be naughtier than boys so it's good we started on the easier one." The blunette started to take the plates from the dinner table. "At least we know and like Iggy-chan. I still can't believe my baby is so grown up." She whined.

The Ice Mage's frown only got deeper, glanced at their daughter, who smiled brightly at him, blue eyes sparkling, dark curly hair in ponytails. So pure and innocent.

"Uh... what do you mean girls can be naughtier than boys?"

"Remember Juvia at seventeen?" The blunette raised an eyebrow. "She didn't do anything, but she would've done lots of naughty things if you've given her the light of day."

"Oh, my poor princess." Gray looked at his baby girl, eyes wide. "Please, take after me."
