A/N:I am inspired because of the weather now in the Philippines. There is a storm right now and classes were suspended and I was suddenly struck of Gruvia inspiration.

PELTING RAIN

.

Anyone who thinks that sunshine is pure happiness have never danced in the rain

The sound of the rain on the roof made a soothing lullaby for everyone. The constant drop of bullets from the dark sky made everyone seek for shelter. A place to save them from the harsh weather. The puddles on the ground gushed as people stepped on them.

Rain.

The rain brought sentiments and gloominess to everyone. The dark sky seemed like it was weeping from the pain it was feeling. The torturous winds slapped on once warm skin. The sky felt like it was mourning—lamenting on something it would never have.

The rain could not possibly bring happiness.

That was a lie. For the rain brought balance in this world.

The rain gave everyone the feeling of calmness, the feeling of…contentment.

And that was what Gray Fullbuster was feeling right now. In the arms of the woman he loves, and will only love.

He shifted his head and slowly nuzzled on her warm and soft bosom. The feeling of her warm skin on his cold cheek made him sighed in contentment. For an Ice Mage, he had never thought that he would love the feeling of being warm. If it was an ordinary day, the thought would have made him laugh, but right now, the thought alone made him want to live in this place. Forever.

The rain outside was not of Juvia's doing. He just knew. Why? because he would not let her cry when she is with him. He would be damned first before that happen.

He encircled his arms around her small waist. Relishing and Awed with the fact that she fit just perfectly. He liked the feeling of being in her arms, and having her in his arms. He loved being with her whenever he has no missions. Spending time with his favorite mage always brought him to places he had never been before. Maybe it was something close to heaven.

She would always cook him delicious bento whenever he would leave for a mission, and when he got home, his apartment would feel warmer and that did not irritates him, for it made him feel more at…home.

Others told him, once, before, that Juvia was acting more like a housewife than a girlfriend. To tell you the truth, he did not mind it. Not. One. Bit. In fact the thought of Juvia being his housewife brought a warm feeling in him. Her waiting for him to go home, a hearty dinner placed over the table and her warmth during nights made him more inclined into getting her live with him.

He heard her sighed silently when the swishing of air got a little louder and the rain got a little harsher. Her soft breath kissing his unkempt hair. He let his left hand wander downwards, searching for the blanket, when he found it, he draped it over them. She snuggled closely, and he immediately noticed her pink buds becoming stiff beneath his cheek. The nightgown she was wearing did nothing to hide her wonderful curves.

She shifted beneath him and heard her silent whimper. Maybe, it was his weight she was getting irritated. His hands pushed himself up, he could not help but smirk when Juvia's arms unconsciously reached out to him. Her cute frown and her silent whimper would've made him go back to her arms, if it wasn't for his eyes tracing her smooth skin.

Her baby blue nightgown hitched up to her hips, and he bit back a groan when the side of her butt showed up and her long silky legs was exposed and for his glory to be worshipped. Her arms collided with a pillow and she hugged it closer, her legs draping over it. Gray felt like an idiot for being jealous. As much as he could, he wanted to be the only thing, only one, Juvia was cuddling.

Gray let his hand curve her right knee, and almost instantly Juvia's eyes lightly flutter, like it was struck by sunlight through the drapes of a curtain. But it wasn't sunny outside. It was raining. He nudged her knee and brought her leg to the other side of his hips. Making her wide open for him.

He settled himself between her legs and smiled when her hands balled to her eyes. Scrunching and wiping the sleepiness she has. When her eyes landed on his glinting eyes and his wide smirk, her cheeks quickly pooled with red hue.

"G-G-G-Gray-sama?" she squeaked. Her face was now the embodiment of embarrassment, and suddenly he felt ashamed from waking her up. "Sorry, Shouldn't have woken you up." He mumbled as he settled his face on the crook of her neck. Immediately, her sweet and intoxicating scent filled his nostrils.

Her initial shock dissipated instantly, a soft smile graced her doll-like face. "It's alright" her dainty fingers caressed his head and he could not help but moan.

He heard the rain got stronger outside and its lightly knocking on the roof turned frantic. Her head glanced on the window and frowned upon seeing the rain, the world outside was darker than usual. Gray did not know how it happened, he just felt it. "It's not your fault." His hand searched for her small ones. His thumb caressing the soft skin beneath his callused ones. It was still a great shock to him that despite of her being a mage, her hands were as soft as the lamb's fur.

"Juvia knows, but still she could not help but be sad." She replied. His previous statement rung inside her head, it somehow lifted her moods.

He raised his and up and stared deeply in her azure eyes. "Don't be" his voice serious and full of authority. He just did not like it whenever she blamed herself.

She tried to offer him a smile, though it was crooked. Gray gripped the hand he was relinquishing with, and cupped her cheek. "It is not your fault and would never be. Maybe, the rain is gloomy.."

He saw her eyes turned downcast, he quickly added "but don't you think that the rain is one of the reason you're here." He raised his hand, the one that gripped hers so tightly, and put it over his chest. He kept his eyes staring at hers, though he knew he was wavering, it did not help that his cheeks were heated. "If it wasn't for the rain, I wouldn't have met you." He said referring to the day they fought.

Every inch of her beautiful face was inked with surprise. "So maybe it is gloomy. But it is for someone who has a reason to." He cut her off when she tried to tell something. "But have you asked me what I think of it?"

"What does G-Gray-sama think of it?" her voice small and somewhat unsure of.

"I think of the rain as a way for lovers to be with each other... It is cold for Lovers to share their warmth with. It is gloomy for lovers to be comforted with. But mostly it is soothing…for lovers to savor. It is peaceful…for lovers to treasure. And you of all people should do that." His face tried to keep a straight face as Juvia's porcelain skin was colored in beautiful scarlet hue.

"Is that why Gray-sama is comforting Juvia? Because we're lovers?" her face, innocent, and completely clueless.

"W-well y-yeah. What more do you think it is?. You're my girlfriend." He stated, somewhat angry for thinking that Juvia did not consider him as a lover or her boyfriend.

"Well..Juvia thought that she is your wife." She said without any shyness. Sometimes her boldness throws him off guard.

"E-E-E-Eh?!" he replied unintelligently. She ignored his response as wrapped her arms around him. He was contented like this. Him, inside her arms. He glanced at her hand that was hanging on his side. I only need a ring for her words to be justified. He thought as they succumbed into deep slumber.

The rain continued falling; the heaviness of it did nothing to deter the contentment that the couple was feeling.

A/N: I don't know if the ending was alright. I should've added a kiss. But I don't know, I wanted to depict how strong they were feeling despite of not having them have sex or kiss.

A review would warm me up.
