Ch. 52: Drip Drip Drop
Day: 52
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.
Genre: Hurt/Comfort
Summary: Drip, drip, drop.
Juvia sat by the window, watching the rain pound down on the asphalt outside. Drip, drip, drop, went the droplets against the pavement. The bluenette sighed and tightened her grip on her cup of hot cocoa, not even flinching when the mug grew uncomfortably hot against her palms.
Drip, drip, drop.
It was like an infinite ticking inside her head. Wherever she went, the rain followed, an unsteady beat forever ringing inside her skull. It was beginning to become almost unbearable. Sometimes Juvia just wanted to turn into water and disappear among the lingering puddles.
She took sip of her cocoa, and turned away from the window.
The rain woman was in a cafe that some might describe as petite - floral wallpaper, small, round tables, a tiny bar where two servers rushed back and forth to make what the customers had ordered. The air was thick with the scent of fruit and fresh-baked bread.
There was a splash from outside. Juvia turned back to the window, and was surprised to see children splashing about in the puddles.
Having fun. In her rain.
A small smile grew across the bluenette's face. Maybe being a 'gloomy' rain woman wasn't that bad of a deal, after all.
I'm not really sure when this takes place — the only definite is before Phantom Lord.

crazyangelgirl21: Gray is still saying some rather unsavory things in the background. I… am amazed at how long he has managed to yell…
