Raindrops on Rooftops

It was another day at Magnolia Academy, the students in class 2-B were gushing about the next winter dance that would be coming up.

All the guys were contemplating whether or not they should go as a group, bring their own dates, or just ditch the whole entire thing.

Well it's not uncommon that these junior high kids still find events dealing with the opposite sex awkward, they're only 14/15, still transitioning from Elementary stage to now being second years in junior high.

Having to go through the awkward phases, the voice change, height quirks, and physical changes going through out their body. And then finding the girl they sit next to be pretty cute though they were aware that she was just a girl to them a few years back.

Oh the wondrous joy of Puberty.

And it's not just for them but also the girls in their class as well. Knowing well enough that their being uncomfortable around the boys is causing them to have distraught affections towards them when only a few years ago they thought the male population was infected by cooties; with the exception of their fathers.~

But in that explanation there were two exceptions to that clause. One that makes the boys not hinder there some what fondness towards the girls after a mere glance of this quiet, polite, and mature beauty. And another that makes the girls swoon and giggle after his navy-blue eyes bore into them innocently by the reformed, charming, mature gentlemen.

Those two exceptions names are Lucy Heartfilia and Gray Fullbuster.

They've been this way since their early years in school but after reaching junior high, people started to view them differently. And they were not used to that kind of shift though they were graciously going through their mental and physical changes as we speak.

Lucy frowned; because all the girls think she is so mature she has to keep to that image or it would be unchastely for her classmates. So she keeps to herself and refrains from her peppy excitement of the dance.

And the gossip of an all-familiar boy, her chocolate brown eyes take a moment to leave and lay upon the quiet raven-haired lad who is surrounded by his group of friends. He noticed, his navy blue eyes met hers for a second, giving her a small smile before returning to his conversations with the boys.

Lucy strained her mouth muscles from bearing a wide grin, it would look weird if her friends caught her all smiley for no apparent reason.

Another thing that she hates about this quiet image, she can't talk to Gray.

Ever since they came in as first year students at the academy is when everyone was starting to notice the changes these two had, the low voice, the height stance, the some how cool and mature stature they both emitted.

All of a sudden the boys started to take a little interest in Lucy (though she is unaware) and the girls started to take a liking to Gray (who is too polite to notice). But they were aware about the other, and because they're somewhat forced to be part of a group gender specifically (Gray=Boys, Lucy=Girls) they could no longer hang out, or talk like they used to when they were little which upsets them.

But that's okay, they got around that problem, they have breaks and go home after school so they finally catch a break and be their normal selves. Lucy looked out the window, the clouds were looking murky and the sun was clearly blocked in view.

'It looks like it's going to rain'

At this point everyone in the class started to gather around the window after noticing the dark clouds. The young girls were distraught, as they didn't bring an umbrella and class was about to end, the boys whined that they would have to leave now in order to borrow an umbrella if they're lucky.

Gray watched them bemused and quiet, he watched the weather reports before schools starts so he was grateful that he took an umbrella today. He took one quick glance at Lucy who was also observing the chaotic scene in front of her.

He liked Lucy, even though they have to keep with this charade of being 'mature' she is still fun as ever when they were kids. But lately he started to see her differently, sure he has heard many compliments about her from his guy friends, but he only just heard them but never really looked at her.

He used to not understand why they would make such a commotion about this; they're still the same. But now he kind of gets it, sometimes when she smiles at him his heart starts to beat, whenever they touch accidently his face would turn hot, whenever her now changed voice called his name he can't help but turn to her and smile.

She is still the same Lucy, but without realizing she has changed. And so did Gray.

Of course Gray is aware of this but still can't understand this feeling. Is it love? Or is it just him going through a phase?

But its more likely the first one he thought.

He couldn't quite contain himself, today it's raining and he could get the chance to have more close time with Lucy since they could share an umbrella 'Lucky!'

He just had to wait 10 more minutes before school is officially out.

"Ne Gray, can you come with me to check if they have more umbrellas?" asked his orange haired friend Loke.

Gray inwardly groaned trying to refrain having a frown, he wanted to stay so he could take Lucy home 'well it will only take three minutes'

"Sure" he replied after getting up from his seat, Loke grinned, "Thanks, are you going to get one too?"

Gray shook his head and pulled out his small blue umbrella from his bag "No I got that covered"

"Wow as expected from you Gray, you came prepared! That's really mature" Gray tried his best not to roll his eyes. He too would probably not taken one if he hadn't caught the reports today.

"Come on before they run out"

xxxoxxx

Lucy watched as the boys left, frowning slightly to herself, she wanted to walk home with Gray but it seems their charade is getting in the way of that.

"Lu-chan what are we going to do? I didn't bring an umbrella" her friend Levy cried "Are you also going to borrow an umbrella?"

Lucy shook her head; she took out her pink umbrella with white polka dots on it "Nope I brought my own"

The girls around her looked at her in awe "As expected from Lu-chan you're so mature!" Lucy simply nodded with her calm smile.

"Do you want to go together Levy and see if they have an umbrella for you?"

Levy nodded ecstatically "yes please thank you!"

Lucy nodded and lead the girl out, but her mind was racing with thoughts 'Now I can't have my special alone time, sharing my umbrella moment with Gray today' she thought glumly as her brown eyes showed sadness with a small pout.

Lucy also seems to have mutual feelings for Gray too, but of course if any one knew there could be a bit of controversy so she tries to hide them with the best of her ability. She actually wanted to leave her umbrella at home on purpose so she had an excuse to share one with Gray. Ah but the shy Heartfilia couldn't ignore her impulse and just grabbed her umbrella anyway.

Fufufufu Young Love~

Xxxoxxx

The girl Levy looked disappointed as they reached the stacks where all the borrowed umbrellas were placed, all empty. The teacher looked at both of them sympathetically.

"Sorry they're no more, maybe you can just go home with someone that has one?" the young teacher suggested.

At this Levy turned to Lucy with stars in her eyes with a glint of hope and 'pleaaaaaaase take me home'

Lucy sighed, this was not what she was expecting and planned today when she saw the weather reports early morning. She wanted to go home with Gray and share one with him, but it seems its highly unlikely now.

She gave Levy a small smile, and she just cant leave Levy like that, she is her good friend after all. "Fine I'll take you home"

"Goodie!"

xxxoxxx

The winds were now taking its toll and the rain still kept on drizzling. Though she was fine she couldn't but feel she would be more content with Gray right now.

'By now we would be talking about the fun event coming soon and our elbows would be brushed slightly' the blonde thought with a blush.

'He's probably by the arcade by now' she thought. Then an idea hit her. "Ne, Levy why don't you just take my umbrella?"

The bluenette looked at her friend baffled "eh? But I just can't take your umbrella! You'll get wet!"

"NO its fine!" Lucy reassured with a smile "I can just go home roof to roof!"

xxxoxxx

Lucy was now drenched, using her book bag to shield her from the raindrops she scurried along the busy section of the road "I 'll just follows Gray's route home" she turned by another corner and found a stairway with a roof hovering over it where she could rest.

She dried herself a bit before plotting herself down on the steps, humming away cheerfully "I think by this time he would have split off with his friends" she thought happily "I'll just wait here …and then we can share" she blushed and hummed away with the sounds from the pitter patter.

Moments later she saw a boy running with his book bag over his head to prevent the rain from getting him soaked. Lucy gave this boy a blank stare as he stopped in front of her almost replicating the same expression.

It was Gray.

Xxxoxxx

They both continued to stare at one another almost perturbed by the sight of their companion.

"Eh..I gave away…"

"…My umbrella"

"I thought..."

"…You had yours.." They looked at each other quite perplexed, who knew they both have given up their umbrellas to their friends to walk the other home (A?N: ehem share an umbrella home!)

Lucy looked down and huffed out her cheeks in a childish way, pink hue forming on them "and I wanted to share" she admitted.

Gray slumped down next to her all covered in water, his raven-haired locks were dripping "Ehh That's my line" he countered. They looked up and smile at one another, laughing at the other's appearance before settling to a comfortable silence.

Gray took a peak at Lucy, her blonde hair was soaked and so was her uniform, her brown eyes looked more glassier than ever, and her white porcelain skin looked so lush and soft that he couldn't help but blush. She pulled the left strand of her hair to the back of her ear before taking a peak at Gray who averted his gaze quickly.

She too noticed some of Gray's features now that she took a better look of him, he looked older than when they were kids, a lot taller and broader, his Adam's apple was noticeable, and his eyes showed more of a look of an adult than a boy. His jawline was more outlined thanks to the water dripping down from it, his now noticeable thin shirt clinging to his well-toned chest. She blushed madly and looked away, embarrassed that she took note of too many details of him.

But they were both content and happy, the warm thumping coming from their hearts started to warm their bodies up a bit but of course it wasn't enough.

They continued to watch the rain pour "It's not letting up" Gray said a bit shyly scooting himself a bit closer to her.

Lucy nodded "Yeah" she whispered, she scooted herself as well until the tips of their shoulders were touching. They both blushed madly that even their ears turned red but they didn't dare to look at the other's face.

Lucy snuggled a bit closer to Gray causing him to hitch his breath, remembering how he was just thinking about Lucy a half hour ago "It's a good thing we found this place"

"Yeah"

"We'll just pretend this is one big umbrella we're sharing" he stated with a smile, now loving the warmth that Lucy is emitting off of him.

Lucy sighed in content, laying her head on Gray's shoulder "I like…that idea."
