Juvia lost track of the days now. She'd stopped counting after two weeks. He'd promised he'd be back by then. He kissed her on the cheek and promised to be home in no more than two weeks.

So, she sat on the bench on the sidewalk in front of their apartment and she waited. She waited for her Gray-sama to come home.
No one could get her to move. Not Mirajane, not Levy, not Wendy, not even Gajeel could get her to move. He'd had to carry her inside one day and has to have the assistance of Levy to get her to eat.

Today she sat on the bench, and for the first time in days, it rained. It started off as a light drizzle, but soon it was a full on downpour. Juvia wondered where Gray was.
Erza, Lucy, Natsu and Gray had taken a job that was estimated to be two weeks long, even if anything was to go wrong. What if something had gone wrong, terribly wrong? What if Gray had been injured? Or worse?

'What if Gray-sama wasn't coming home?'
A small sob escaped Juvia at the thought.

"Juvia?" A familiar voice called out to her and she whipped her head in the direction, a gasp escaping her.

"Gray-sama?"

There, in all his glory, was Gray. He wore dark pants and the white coat she'd seen on him countless times, his hair beginning to glue to his forehead due to the rain.
Juvia jumped to her feet and ran to him. Gray dropped his bag in time to catch a leaping Juvia. She buried her face in his neck and held onto him tightly. His arms were around her, one hold her around the waist while the other hand was tangled in her hair, holding her firmly.

"Juvia was so worried about Gray-sama."

"It took a couple days longer than I'd thought." Gray's lips pressed against Juvia's hair repeatedly.

"Juvia missed Gray-sama."
"I missed my raindrop." Juvia could feel the smile on his lips. "Come on, let's get out of this rain."

Juvia pulled away from Gray and he bent down, picking up his bag, and with his free hand, took Juvia's and squeezed.

Upon entering the house, Juvia threw her arms around Gray once again, placing a kiss on his cheek and nuzzling into his neck. "Don't leave Juvia alone for so long next time."

"Never again." He promised, rubbing her back in soothing circles.

And he would always keep his promises to Juvia.
