Hey everyone! ^_^

This is my second prompt for NaVia week.

Hope you'll enjoy it! :D

Day 2 - Sundrops

Fairy Tail NaVia

Summary: The light of his fire, united with her raindrops, creates a shower of colors and of love.

It was a beautiful day in Magnolia. The sun was up and shining as usual, something Juvia simply adored, and the birds' angelic chirping was music to her ears.

The bluenette was walking towards the guild, a bright smile on her beautiful face. She was going to meet her Gray-sama and win his heart with Natsu's help!

Yes, you heard right. Natsu's help. Juvia asked the fire mage for help since she tried all she knew: baking, dancing, singing... All of her methods failed, and, as she knew that the salmon-haired dragon slayer was not only Gray's rival, but his best friend as well, and probably knew more about him than she did, so she decided to finally ask about the handsome ice mage's likes and dislikes.

Natsu was more than glad to help, and also told heard some things from their childhood, amusing the water mage. Natsu's childish behaviour, now that she stood to think about it, was not as annoying as her Gray-sama said. Not that Gray was wrong! She would never contradict Gray! But she was very aware that she could have her own opinions as well. And she thought Natsu's childish behaviour was actually... relaxing, and somehow pretty cute.

But her Gray-sama was still the cutest of them all.

She learned that Gray didn't like to be suffocated with love every day, and was both stubborn and an idiot. Well, of course she denied the last part, but whatever. Natsu told her that she should be a bit more direct with him than she would usually be with a man, because the ice mage can't sometimes take a clue of what she's probably trying to say.

These advices were more than enough for her to succeed, and soon, they will be married and have many kids and live happily ever after!

Her stream of thoughts was interrupted as she arrived in front of the guild hall's doors.

'Now or never', Juvia thought and took a deep breath, opening the doors and waltzing in the guild hall, searching for a specific mage.

The bluenette quickly found Gray. He was together with Natsu, Lucy, Erza and Happy, talking about things and smiling. She called her name sweetly and waved at him, and suddenly all the smiles on his face disappeared, replaced with annoyance. The ice mage seemed to groan, clearly not enjoying Juvia's arrival, but she decided to shrug it off. It couldn't be anything too important, right? It may be just a coincidence!

The beautiful water mage jogged happily to their table, a blush present on her face.

"Hello, Gray-sama!", she chirped. "Juvia wants to ask you something very important!"

Gray turned his head to her, waiting for her to ask. She shyly glanced at Natsu, like if she was asking if she was doing it right, to which he nodded shortly so nobody could see, food at the corners of his mouth.

"Umm, Juvia was wondering if Gray-sama would like to go with her at a restaurant together this evening...", Juvia asked, fidgeting, her blush deepening, and internally squealing.

Thousands of different positive scenarios unraveled in her head, love and happiness flowing through her very being, but only one answer from him was able to shatter them all into nothingness.

"Never. Leave me alone, Juvia!", Gray groaned, clearly annoyed by her question.

Juvia could feel the world breaking around her. All sounds were nulled as she tried once again.

"P-Please...?", she whispered numbly, looking down at her feet, letting her blue bangs cover her eyes, not wanting to meet Lucy, Natsu, Erza, Happy or Gray's eyes.

"I said no! Just leave me alone for once! Can't you go a day without stalking me and such?", he spoke harshly, and she flinched at his tone.

Tears gathered in her eyes, and suddenly she felt like everyone in the guild was staring at her, even if that wasn't the case.

"O-Okay... J-Juvia understands... She will leave Gray-sama alone from n-now on...", she muttered, taking a few steps back, and started jogging outside, choking back her sobs.

Lucy and Erza glared at Gray, who flinched afraid, while Natsu got up quickly and ran after her, shouting her name, confusing everyone. He barely talked to her, so why did he suddenly care..?

Erza wanted to stop and question him, and caught his arm for a brief moment, but he quickly escaped her grip and strolled out of the guild hall to find the brokenhearted water mage.

The bright blue, clear sky quickly became heavily clouded, and soon the rain started to fall, just like it did before Gray showed Juvia the light...

All of the love she was feeling for the ice mage, love that was always giving her strength and put a smile on her face, was now hurting her more than anything she had experienced before in her life. Juvia ran aimlessly around Magnolia, already soaking wet from her rain, and people on the streets glanced at her curiously before going inside their houses, as they had no umbrellas.

The feeling of the raindrops, a feeling that brought too many tragic memories with it, a feeling that she never wanted to feel again, was tearing through her like bullets. The tears on her face were hard to notice because of the water, and her choked sobs were echoing in the empty streets of Magnolia.

Juvia broke down on the ground, putting a hand on her mouth to stop the sound of her crying. Her blue hat was forgotten a few feet behind her, but she couldn't care less now. All she wanted was to cry her heart out.

The sound of the rain smashing on the cold, hard ground covered the sound of someone's footsteps approaching her. Juvia soon felt a warm hand on her shoulder, and flinched.

"Hey, Juvia, are you okay?", she heard Natsu's voice, surprisingly soft and caring.

"D-Does Juvia seem okay to N-Natsu-san?", she spat out, but immediately regretted her words, not wanting Natsu to go away so soon.

She expected him to just walk away at her harsh tone. He made all the effort to follow her and all she did was push him away... He would just leave her alone with her gloominess, all because she didn't think before speaking...

But, to her surprise, she felt his strong arms wrap around her in a comforting manner.

"It's okay, Juvia", he whispered soothingly in her ear. "It's okay to cry".

Juvia bit back another sob, and quickly turned around to hug him back, in a desperate need of comfort. Natsu responded by rubbing her back and whispering calming words to stop her crying, to soothe her pain.

After a few minutes of crying, which seemed like an eternity to both of them, Juvia pulled back from his embrace and tried to wipe away the tears from her eyes, only to be replaced by others that rolled freely on her cheeks. Natsu waited for her to calm down, still rubbing her back in an attempt of helping her and stop her tears.

"W-Why?", she managed to finally say.

Natsu looked at her confused. "Why what?"

Juvia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "W-Why did Natsu-san come after J-Juvia?"

Upon hearing this, a wide, soft, loving smile spread on Natsu's lips as he caressed her face, wiping away the remaining of the tears.

"You don't deserve to cry for that idiot, that's why", he grinned. "You deserve to be happy, not to be hurt by that stripper".

Hearing his words, Juvia let a smile of her own grace her lips, a one last tear rolling on her cheek. She wiped it away quickly, and let out a bitter laugh, confusing Natsu.

"L-Looks like Juvia won't have the h-happy ending she always dreamed of", the bluenette said, a mix of emotions present on her face.

"You don't need that stripper to be happy!", Natsu protested. "There are so many things that can make you happy, and that stripper is definitely not one of them!"

Juvia let out a small giggle, and the rain seemed to not fall as hard as it did before. Natsu grinned.

"See? You can smile without the stripper!", he spoke proudly, crossing his arms, making her chuckle again.

"Juvia thinks she can agree with you", she smiled. "Juvia can be happy without Gray-sama!"

Natsu scowled. "Stop calling him '-sama'. He doesn't deserve it, he made you cry!"

Juvia's smile faltered as she mumbled a sad agreement. Natsu looked around for a moment, and spotted something blue a few feet away from them. He quickly ran over there and took it, Juvia too caught in her thoughts to notice he was gone.

Juvia suddenly felt something on her head, and Natsu chuckled.

"Here's your hat", he grinned, and Juvia couldn't help but smile back as she touched her hat briefly.

"Juvia thanks Natsu-sama for helping her!", she suddenly chirped, hugging him.

Natsu couldn't help the blush dusting his cheeks and hugged her back, closing his eyes, a serene smile on their faces.

He liked that nickname. A lot.

Now, it was just showering, the rain definitely not falling as hard as it did before. The sun appeared from the clouds, its rays hitting the raindrops. The birds started singing once again, and everything was once again full of happiness.

Opening their eyes and pulling away from the hug, they looked up at the sky, noticing the black clouds disappeared

To their surprise, like a bridge to the sun, a rainbow was present in front of them.

"Pretty!", Juvia gasped, as she never saw a rainbow in her life.

"Awesome!", Natsu exclaimed, amazed by all the colors.

"Natsu-sama, I think we did this!", she said, her ocean blue eyes sparkling.

Natsu's jaw dropped. "Woah! We're so awesome!", he shouted, throwing his hands in the air. "High-five, Juvia!"

Juvia, not caring if he was being childish or not, high-fived him. He laughed out loudly, and she just couldn't help but laugh along with him. His happiness was contagious.

A wave of joy and renewed love flew within her, her broken heart ready to be healed. She smiled widely and hugged Natsu, burying her head in his shoulder

"Thank you for making Juvia happy again, Natsu-sama", she whispered, a serene smile present on her face.

He smiled softly in return, and hugged her back, feeling a new, different kind of warmth in his heart.

A few feet away from Natsu and Juvia stood Erza, Lucy and Happy, who only now managed to find them. They watched the heartwarming scene with a smile on their faces.

"They lllllike each other!", Happy couldn't help but giggle playfully.

"Looks like we had no reason to worry about Juvia and Natsu after all", Erza sighed in relief, her hands on her hips.

"They're so adorable together!", Lucy said, holding back a squeal so she won't interrupt the moment.

Natsu and Juvia, eh.

Huh, who would've thought.

XD

I sooo enjoyed writing this!

I love writing fluff even though I'm not as good as others at it.

Hope you enjoyed this little one-shot as much as I did!

:D
