When The Rain Stopped

Third Person's POV

Pain.

That's all he knew.

It burned hotter than Natsu's flames.

Shined brighter than Lucy's spirits.

Cut deeper than Erza's blade.

But nothing could compare to the pain he felt when the rain stopped. He knew that it was over, but all he wanted to do was scream. So he did. He screamed and screamed until his voice gave out. Then all he did was stare. He stared at his guild mates who knew how he felt but it wasn't as intense. He stared at Lyon & Meredy who cried in each other's embrace. The ice devil slayer could only stare and fell the pang in his chest grow. That could've been them, he thought. If only things were different. Maybe in an alternate reality. Maybe if he wasn't such a coward and he listened to Erza's advice. Then maybe when the rain stopped he wouldn't feel this way.

Because when the rain stopped, Juvia Lockser was dead.

And Gray Fullbuster died in a way too.


A/N: There you go! My first Gruvia angst. Also my first story thus far. I have so many ideas for so many characters and anime that i hope you'll love. Anyway, more Gruvia stories coming and maybe i'll write a smut ;)
