Hi,a new story from me.

Even trough I'm also working on The Game of King and Queens curently,I wanted to start a new one to.

These will be Juvia related drabbles. Some about pairings,friendships.

Feel free to suggest themes!

Title: Protector

Theme: Childhood. How Juvia meets Gajeel & Phantom members.

Characters/Couples: Juvia,Gajeel,Sol,Aria,Totomaru. A bit TotUvia

It was raining. It always rained around Juvia. Because rain is the only one that loves Juvia.

Pitter.

Patter.

The sky cried with her,made her feel safe. But these days,when she was surrounded by other children,she didn't feel safe anymore.

Not even her rain felt safe.

Juvia Loxar was a sad girl. No friends,no playing outside,no joking around with friends. Her life was depressed. She was depressed,to be more correct. She was sick of people calling her names just because the rain followed. It wasn't her fault. But they wouldn't listen,they just teased,talked behind her back,the bad ones would even throw rocks at her.

She had a feeling today wouldn't be any diffrent.

Juvia was riding in a car,looking out the window. Today,she was getting transfered in a new orphanage. The old one was terrible. She was getting bullied too much,so Juvia asked for a transfer. But deep down,she knew it would probably be the same.

The car stopped. The driver was shouting for her to get out. She picked up her little suitcase and ran inside. A chubby,old woman greeted her at the door.

„Oh dear,you're soaking wet! Let's get you to the principal as fast as possible,so you can get unpacked."

Juvia smiled at the woman. Never before was someone so nice to her. Even the nurses in the old orphanage were mean. Maybe this Phantom Orphanage isn't bad after all.

But still.

The old lady,who introduced herself as Miss. Inga, lead her to a small office on the second floor. Since it was late,all teh children were sleeping already,so Juvia hasn't met anyone yet.

She entered the office,slowly closing the door so she doesn't wake anyone up.

„Come in,child. Juvia Loxar,isn't it?"

Juvia nodded and took a seat. The man was a bit unusual,Juvia would say. He even looked a bit scary,but she sensed kindness in his voice.

Never judge a book by it's covers.

Juvia stuck with that rule. Unfortunatelly,other people didn't,especially towards her.

„Welcome to Phantom Orphanage. I heard you had some...difficulties in your previous orphanage. If anything alike happens here,just tell me. Think of me as your second father."

The man smiled as he stood up.

„Now,I will lead you to your bedroom."

The little bluenette followed. She tended to stay behind the man,so no one would see her face yet. She was getting unwanted startes from children awake.

„Is that her?"

„Rain girl? No way."

„I heard she is a freak."

Her eyes teared up,but she wouldn't cry. Not this time.

After Jose,the principal tucked her in and put her luggage in the closet,he left. Juvia wanted to get some sleep.

The next day,she wasn't awakened by sunshine. She never was,but she was used to it. After breakfast,where she ate alone unlike the others,Juvia decided to sit outside for a bit. She sat under a tree,so she wouldn't get too much wet. After taking out her notebook,she started doodling. She drew many things; flowers,sun,children playing.

„Rain girl! Go back to where you came from!"

„Yeah! We enjoyed playing on sunny days!"

Two boys from aside shouted.

Then,they picked up some rocks.

She was right at teh beggining. It's all the same. One rock hit her leg. She guarded her face with her notebook. But the second rock never came. She looked up,still not showing her whole face .

„Oi,idiots! Let em see you throw another rock at her I'll break your legs!"

A raven haired boy stood in front of her. His fists were ready to fight. Even if she couldn't see his face,she knew they were glaring.

„Whatever."

The bullies walked away.

Then he turned around.

„You alright?" Raven haired boy asked her. He had eyes red as blood,metal piercings even if he was just a boy. He looked dangerous,maybe even evil. But his actions spoke differently.

„Juvia is okay."

„So,your name is Juvia?"

„Yes."

„Gihihi,I like the way you talk,it's funny. But I mean no offence. Gajeel Redfox,or maybe you've heard of me by my other name,Metal boy."

„Juvia is pleased to meet you,Gajeel-kun."

A few boys apeared behind Gajeel,waving to him.

„Come here!" He yelled back.

Juvia was a bit scared. Sure she befriended Gajeel,but more people. She was never good at socialising.

„Guys,this is Juvia. Juvia,these are Totomaru,Sol and Aria."

Juvia bowed but they were just smiling.

„Juvia will hang out with us. Since she's bullied like we used to be,we have a lot in common."

Gajeel said to the others. Juvia was suprised. So soon,and she made more friends? This has never happened before. And they were bullied? But they all look so strong.

„Great. Welcome to our group,miss Juvia."

The one named Sol spoke.

„You are pretty,Juvia-chan. Be sure we will protect you."

Totomaru added with a grin. Soon,they all walked towards the lunchroom.

That day,Juvia saw sunshine for the first day.
