talkitivejaguar reviewed: My request is the first time they talk about their fantasies. Kids, a house with high ceilings and large windows, getting reconsideration for something other than magic etc

"So... how many kids do you want?" Juvia asked, smiling, while she had her head on Gray's chest where their fingers were entwined, a leg over his and her body pressed against his side. "Juvia wants a bunch."

Gray snorted and played with the ends of her hair. "As long as 'a bunch' means 'only two at most', it's cool with me." He frowned and stopped playing with her hair for a moment. "But... uh... you don't want them... now, right?"

Juvia chuckled and looked up to him. "Juvia thinks she wants you to herself for a couple of years first, Gray-sama." She gave him a peck on the lips and smiled. "After, lots of babies."

"Okay, you say it like that but let's make it clear it will be two, tops. If we actually like the first one, that is."

Juvia laughed and then looked down to her finger, where the beautiful ring he had given her just a couple hours before, was. "Juvia still can't believe we are getting married."

"Better believe it." Gray he said. "It took me a while to ask."

"Now you won't get rid of Juvia anytime soon." She beamed at him.

Gray snorted. "When have I ever could?" Juvia rolled her eyes playfully, knowing very well he wouldn't have her any other way. "We are going to need a place of our own. My apartment barely fits me."

"Oh, we could try to find a house. With a garden, big windows. Juvia wants a house full of light and a beautiful colorful garden."

"Makes sense, knowing you." He told her. "Would you have been a gardener if you hadn't turned out to be a mage?"

Juvia shook her head. "No. Juvia can grow some plants and that's it. If she hadn't become a mage, Juvia thinks she would've turned out to be a baker. She does like to bake."

"And your baking is pretty good, you would've done well. As long as you wouldn't draw us on top of the bread." He smiled at the memory of the first batch of bread of hers he had. "Let's make sure we get a house with a kitchen of your liking so you can bake more often."

"Thank you." She kissed his cheek. "Now, what you would've been if not a mage?"

"No idea." He shrugged. "I would've probably jumped from one job to another around the country."

Juvia nodded and after a moment, she asked: "Do you think we would meet if we weren't mages? Being mages is what made our paths cross."

"We would've met one way or another." Gray said.

"Juvia would like to know how she, a baker, would cross paths with drifter Gray-sama." The water mage wondered.

"It would be an interesting meeting, that's for sure." Gray told her and Juvia chuckled. "Now, let's go to sleep. I have a hunch you will need all your strength to break the news to the guild." He sent her a knowing look.

"Juvia has been waiting this way too long to not shout it at the first opportunity." The blunette smile's widened, then. "Besides, there's a bet going on about which couple would get engaged first and we really should tell them it is us."

"They are betting on this? I can't believe it." He shook his head lightly. "You know what, I do believe it; this is exactly what they would do. Stupid morons."

Gray started to rant about all the reasons their friends were idiots while Juvia watched him, utterly happy and glad to be in his arms.
