Adding display: inline-block; might work

.text-grad {
  display: inline-block;
	background: -moz-linear-gradient(150deg, #97c74e 0%, #2ab9a5 100%);
	background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, color-stop(0%, #97c74e), color-stop(100%, #2ab9a5));
	background: -webkit-linear-gradient(150deg, #97c74e 0%, #2ab9a5 100%);
	background: -o-linear-gradient(150deg, #97c74e 0%, #2ab9a5 100%);
	background: -ms-linear-gradient(150deg, #97c74e 0%, #2ab9a5 100%);
	background: linear-gradient(150deg, #97c74e 0%, #2ab9a5 100%);
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='$color-one', endColorstr='$color-two',GradientType=1 );
	-webkit-background-clip: text;
	-moz-background-clip: text;
	-ms-background-clip: text;
	-o-background-clip: text;
	background-clip: text;
	-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
	-moz-text-fill-color: transparent;
	-ms-text-fill-color: transparent;
	-o-text-fill-color: transparent;
	text-fill-color: transparent;
	opacity: 1;
	z-index: 9;
}
