Gray Fullbuster does not cuddle.
He’d like to say it was because he was an ice mage – he had a low tolerance for heat, regardless of whether it was coming from the blazing sun or another’s warm embrace. It was just how he was made.
But the truth was, even if he weren’t an ice mage, he still couldn’t see the appeal of having someone’s sticky, sweaty body squashed against him. How it can even be remotely considered comforting was beyond him.
He could pat you on the back, ruffle the hair on your head, and even sit beside you – but definitely no hugs.
Except if he absolutely had to.
Like, if it was a matter of life and, well, severe hypothermia.
And so, it was because of this that Gray found himself in one of the beds in the infirmary, cuddling with Juvia Lockser.
