Gajeel stuffed his face with food as he started to devour the meal that was given to him. Juvia watch as she sat across from him watching him with a little disgust.
"Does Gajeel-kun have to eat like a pig?" she asked.
He ignored her complaint, this was probably the first time in what seemed like forever that he has had an actual dinner. Metal or not whatever he was eating was pretty good.
"Juvia, don't be rude to your friend," her grandmother walked in with another bowl of soup. "He just like the soup I made."
Gajeel gave her a toothy grin.
"Gi hi, yeah Juvia, I'm just enjoying the meal."
Juvia puffed up her cheeks at his remark.
"So, Gajeel is it?" her granny asked.
"Yeah." He said.
She was a little surprised by his attire it's not every day that your granddaughter brings home someone off the streets.
"Do you know where your parents are?"
Gajeel froze, swallowing whatever was in his mouth and glared at the old lady. Seeing that she hit a sensitive topic she decided to change the topic.
"Why don't you tell us about yourself Gajeel, it's not every day Juvia brings home a friend?"
Gajeel shrugged his shoulder as he went back to eating and Juvia complaining about his unmannered eating habits.
Juvia's granny smiled, watching her grandmother finally interacting with someone else.
After dinner, Juvia brought Gajeel into her room. And to be subtle, the room was interesting, the whole room was covered in teru teru bozu dolls.
"What the hell is up with these crappy dolls?" he asked kicking a few to the side. "Aren't these supposed to make the weather better or something?"
Juvia picked up one of the dolls and held it close to her.
"Juvia thought that if she made enough of these it would stop the rain." Her voice fell.
"Why do you care?" he noticed her solemn expression as tears began to form in her eyes. "Oi, what's wrong."
"Juvia wants the rain to go away, but no matter what she does it just gets worse." As she said this the rain outside started to get worse. "Everybody hates the rain and Juvia thought that maybe if she made enough that it'll finally help her stop."
"You make it sound like all this rain is your fault?" Gajeel noticed that that floor was covered in water. "What the hell?" The water level started to rise, looking up he saw that a torrent of water was rushing out of Juvia's eyes. Panicking, he ran up to her window opening it and tried his best to dump out the water that was slowly rising.
"Juvia is sorry, Juvia tried to stop it but it just won't stop." She cried.
"Oi, you're making it sound like you're the one making it rain." Gajeel joke still trying his best to dump water out of the window. The rain outside started to get worse while the room began to flood even faster. He finally ran over to Juvia grabbing a hold her shoulder. "Stop crying will ya?" He started to shake in an attempt to calm her down.
Eventually she stopped crying and slowly the water started to empty out of the room.
Gajeel let out a breath as he sat down on the ground.
"Jeez, if you cried any more I'd be downing about now." He joked. Looking up he saw that Juvia was on the verge of crying again. "Oi, will you stop crying already, jeez, it was a joke. If you keep on crying I'm gunna be nothing but rust."
"Rust?" Juvia asked as she tried to hold back her tears.
Gajeel gave her a toothy grin. Raising his arm, Gajeel showed off his magic that was thought to him by his father. His arm was soon iron, he wasn't strong enough to change his whole body, but it still caught Juvia's attention.
Juvia watched in aw as he showed off his magic to her. Wiping away any tears, she sat in front of Gajeel examining his arm.
"Gajeel can change his body too?"
He gave her a curious look.
"Are you telling me you can change like me?"
Nodding her head, Juvia closed her eyes to concentrate and slowly her body started to become translucent and in a matter of seconds became water.
Gajeel watched her with wide eyes, but then only smile back at her.
"Gihi, looks like you got a few tricks too," he undid his iron skin and reverted back to his original skin tone. "You a mage too huh?"
Juvia nodded her head.
"Juvia's mother was a water mage and Granny is a water mage too," her expression fell once again. "But Juvia is different."
"What you mean different?" he asked.
Juvia pointed at the rain outside.
"Ever since Juvia was born it would rain, Granny said it wasn't so bad when Juvia was a baby, but not it rains non-stop."
Gajeel scratched his head completely confused.
"So what you're telling me is that it's been raining because of you?"
Juvia slowly nodded her head.
"It's depressing isn't it, everybody says it is," she said her voice growing low. "Everybody blames Juvia because it's her rain that makes things depressing." She picked up another teru teru bozu doll. "So Juvia make teru terus so that it can stop raining."
Getting up from his seat, Gajeel step in front of Juvia and examine her. Her blue hair was bright followed by her pink shirt and white skirt. From Gajeel could see she didn't the least bit depressing especially earlier today when she was asleep, to him she looked like an ordinary girl.
"Tch, you're such a cry baby."
"Eh?" clearly offended by his words she was about to say something, but was stopped when he place his hand on top of her head.
"I don't see what you're crying about? You don't look depressing at all," he said staring out at the rain with a stoic face. "Just because you make it rain doesn't mean you're a depressing person."
Juvia looks up with a shocked face this was probably the first time other than her grandmother to say something like that. Tears began to form from her eyes as she looked at Gajeel.
Noticing that she was about to cry again, Gajeel started to panic.
"Oi, what's wrong now?" Without saying a word Juvia began to cry again a torrent of water pouring from her eyes. Gajeel let out a shout and began to dump water out the window again. "Calm down will you!"
