sunhat, umbrella, firework, flustered, soaked

When Erza felt the first drops of cool rain fall on her nose, she was admittedly a little confused.

In fact, she was so befuddled that it seemed to show on her face as well—and Lucy made it a point to giggle softly, her hand covering her mouth when she saw the sudden look of dismay on the taller woman's face, who stopped mid-step.

"It's raining," Erza remarked, but it came out sounding like a question.

"No, it's not, you silly," Lucy said, tilting the brim of her sunhat up so that she could look up at the sky. She stretched out her other hand palm up to scout the air. "There was zero-percent chance of rain today, and it's so sunny—"

Then she was interrupted by a droplet that suddenly landed on her cheek, and it was Erza's turn to laugh.

"Told you," the redhead boasted, sticking her tongue at the other woman.

"A sunshower," Lucy mused.

Erza smiled, watching the glint in Lucy's eyes, but then several more drops landed on her face and she slowly began to realize that even the fox's wedding was no laughing matter.

Lucy must have felt the same thing, because she suddenly turned to toward her and exclaimed, "We're going to be soaked if we don't find somewhere to take cover!"

But Erza wasn't going to let some measly rain ruin her day of fun at the carnival with Lucy, and moreover she was always prepared for the worst.

"Well, you won't be needing this anymore," Erza assured the other woman, pulling the sunhat off her head. "I have just the thing," she said, and she reached into her ever-heavy-always-full purse for an umbrella.

Perhaps a minute passed by before Erza, flustered, admitted—

"A-Actually…I think I might have left it home."

Lucy gave her a wink and gracefully pulled an umbrella from her purse. "Well, at least I always have your back," she crooned.

Erza couldn't help but smile, and as she watched the blonde open the umbrella and hold it up, she quickly swooped in and under the cover to bump hips with the shorter girl.

And while the umbrella still covered both of their heads, she discreetly pressed a kiss to Lucy's forehead before she took the umbrella from Lucy's hand. She stood back to her full height, propping the umbrella up to a height that fit both of them. She put her free arm around Lucy's waist.

"Well, I got your waist," she teased.

Lucy rolled her eyes but Erza knew she was a sucker for terrible jokes.

"You think they'll cancel the firework show tonight?" Lucy then asked, watching the pavement in front of them grow darker as more raindrops spotted on it and other crowds of people starting to trade the cotton candy and soft pretzels in their hands for umbrellas.

She looked back up at Erza, apologetically. "I'm sorry that today was the only day I could come. I know you wanted to watch the fireworks and if the rain keeps up, they might not do it."

Erza looked over at Lucy and shrugged her shoulders. "Doesn't matter," she said. "No chance it would beat spending time with you."
