"Why are you here?" she finally asked after gathering the courage to not run away screaming.

"Oh. Well, one of my clients before will be having a party tomorrow night, I owe him big time, so when he asked me if I could come, I couldn't say no." he said and chuckled, shooting a charming look to Juvia.

"So? How's it going?" Bora asked, attempting to clear awkward tension in the air.

Juvia forced a smile. "Oh. Great!" Was the only thing that came out on her mouth.

"I heard you're in Fairy tail now. I still remember that Salamander who beat me up because of that stupid blonde chick. She was-"

"Don't you dare talk about them like that!" she cut him off, glaring at Bora.

"They're Juvia's friends." she added.

"Whoa. Easy there." he laughs. "I'm sorry. Look, how about a dinner tonight. Just talk. We haven't seen each other for years. And you really haven't changed even a bit. So the Tenrou ** was true."

"Wait. I-"

"7pm. Same restaurant. I'm sure you haven't forgotten where we used to eat yet. See you." Bora winked at her and flashed away

Before she could refuse to him, he already left. Bora was Juvia's ex boyfriend who dumped her because he couldn't take her rain anymore. She doesn't know what happened to her. She can't move herself from where she was standing. She can't open her mouth and say anything. She can't think things she should say instead of being controlled like that by him. She hated being controlled.

It was past 6 in the evening already when Juvia reached where she and Gray was supposed to meet. He was sitting and waiting in the bench near a love specialist shop when he finally noticed her coming.

"Gray-sama! Juvia's sorry! She got addicted to a game and played a little longer. You must be waiting for an hour." She bowed her head and looked up to face him.

Instead of getting mad, Gray somehow felt relieved when he saw her. "No. It's okay. I was worried where you were. I thought you went back to the house, but then I know you won't leave me because I don't know this place."

"Gray-sama. Juvia is really sorry."

"It's late already and I'm really starving. Let's go have dinner here." She just looked at him, gaping at his blunt statement.

"This is not a date, okay? Come on," he corrected her.

He took her hand and walked with her as he tried to take quick glances at the water mage at the same time while Juvia can't stop herself from blushing by his sudden actions.

After a few minutes, they reached a restaurant that seemed familiar to Juvia, as she was still being pulled and dragged by Gray.

The waitress arranged a table for two and assisted them until they finally got seated.

It was a fine and classic restaurant. But as what Gray noticed, most people seemed like someone with 'class'.

"Can I take your order Madam? Sir?"

"Can you get us this?" Gray pointed at the Special Beef Broccoli on the menu he was holding.

"What drink do you want Juvia?" Gray asked at the blue haired mage who seemed spacing out before she noticed he was talking to her. She didn't answer until a few moments after the question.

"Sorry, Gray-sama. Umm. Juvia wants an iced tea. Thank you." she managed to say.

Gray knows that there was something bothering her. Something that was making her feel uncomfortable on where they were and then suddenly a man wearing a combination of blue and white color cape approached them with a grin.

"Juvia-chan. I told you that it's a dinner for just the two of us." Bora said, staring at Gray.

"Bora-kun? This must be a mis-" but then Gray cut her off.

"And who the hell are you?"

"I'm sorry if I ruined something between you two but I'm Juvia's long time friend or perhaps her ex-boyfriend. And you must be the famous Fairy Tail Ice Make mage, Gray Fullbuster."

The way Bora talked to him ** him off. Gray was controlling himself not to punch his face when Juvia stopped him by holding his hands.

"Bora-kun. Sorry but Juvia don't remember agreeing to a dinner with you tonight. Gray-sama, can we go somewhere else? Juvia's really sorry about this misunderstanding."

They were about to leave already because they were starting to get the attention of everyone in there when Bora pulled Juvia's arm tightly making her almost scream in pain. Juvia clenched her teeth.

"You really did changed. Have you forgotten everything I did for you Juvia? Have you forgotten those days when no one even wants to be around you because you're too gloomy and you always make it rain? I was there for you when no one else was, right?"

Juvia started to remember everything he was saying. Those days when everyone was rejecting her, when no one wanted to be around her. It was killing her. But Bora left her, leaving her out to wallow in her own misery. And for that she felt bitter resentment to the man.

Gray felt her shaking because she was still holding his hands,

"Juvia-chan. I want us to-" Bora started, but was interrupted by Gray.

"What are you here for? To brag what you did for her?" Gray cut him off.
He couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't take knowing his friend was being treated like that.

"You dumped her right? How could you tell her that you were always there when obviously, you never were!" Gray almost yelled at him. Juvia felt her eyes watering at Bora tights grip around her arm.

"What do you know about me, Fullbuster?" he smirked.

"What I know? Is that Juvia fell in love with a wrong person before." Gray said, leaving Bora speechless and utterly defenseless.

Gray walked to where Juvia was standing, covering her face and crying. He wiped her tears with his own hands and smiled at her.

"Come on." he whispered to her and grabbed her hand.

They were about to leave the restaurant already when Bora said something again.
"You will get tired of her as well. You can never stand her rain!"

Gray turned around to face to the direction where they left him standing, wearing a sly smirk on his face.

"That will never happen, you bastard. I took her rain away when you should have done that when you still have her. You had her at her worst days. You should've cared for her but you chose to break her heart. And you were right, she changed but into a better person."

They left him there speechless and being laughed at by everyone at the restaurant and went straight at their client's house to get some rest.

He didn't say anything to her instead he let her be alone for a while.
He can hear her crying in pain after he closed her bedroom door.

The rain started pouring hard outside as he listens to her. He can feel everything she's feeling because of it. Then he remembered what Mirajane told him.

Her past. Everything she has been through. The rejections and failures. And me. I took her rain away already but somehow, I am the reason why it came back. He thought as he brushes his hair off with his hands and felt really guilty at the same time.

I'm so sorry for the long wait! We just got our internet connection back. lol. I'll try to update again tomorrow or the day after! Please don't forget to leave a review! ^-^
