Title: Clear Skies
Pairing: Juvia x Lucy
Requester: anonymous
Prompt: none
That there would always be perpetual rain was an inescapable truth that Juvia had long ago learned to accept. Overflowing pain mixing with her magic and seeping out of her skin, into the atmosphere. So long as Juvia's heart continued to ache, so too would water fall from the sky.
Ostracization because of the rain only deepened Juvia's despair, and darkened the skies further. Happiness, like blue skies, was a distant, foggy memory that Juvia couldn't help but think she might have dreamt a long time ago.
One day her skies cleared, and her heart was allowed to grow.
And then she lost her home.
There was no place for her to belong.
Except maybe, she hoped, by the side of the person that had cleared the skies for her. So she'd followed him. To thank him. To ask if just maybe she belonged in the same family as he.
How odd it was, that instead she found it in the outstretched hand of the woman she'd once kidnapped. A woman who smiled like sunshine, who sparkled like the stars Juvia was now seeing for the first time. Lucy, who had reached for her in a dark tower, who believed in her until the end.
Juvia had gained not only blue skies, but also the stars.
And while Gray may have chased away Juvia's rain…
It was Lucy who kept her skies clear.
