Dearly Beloved {Vox Machina} {Percy X Fem Reader}

No Rain, No Flowers

Y/N used to love the rain before she left her hometown. It rained so frequently, rainbows became a part of her daily routine. The land was so green and bountiful from the constant care of the earth that there was never a browning leaf. These days, the rain only reminds Y/N of the home she left behind when she joined Vox Machina, most times it just hurts too much to remember. Today it is pouring in Emon.

Percy wanders through the halls of the Vox Machina home looking for Y/N. She's usually hanging out with Vex and Keyleth during the day but, no one has seen her, It's unlike her to be so antisocial with the group. Percy walked so fast he almost missed the sight of her but, found Y/N perched by a window watching the rain fall.

"Y/N! There you are love, I've been looking everywhere for you!" Percy says walking up behind her, and placing a hand on the small of her back.

"hmm? sorry what was that dear?" Y/N says quietly

Percy places his free hand on Y/N's cheek, guiding her gaze up to him.

"What's going on my dear? You seem like you're somewhere else today" Percy asks with slight concern

Y/N gives Percy a weak smile "I'm sorry, I'm okay. It's just the rain. It just makes me sluggish i suppose"

"Is there anything I can do for you love?" Percy asks. He always tries his best to cheer her up whenever she's sad, He loves to see Y/N smile after she's been sad, he always likes to see her feel better.

"I'm really okay Percy, the rain just reminds me of home" Y/N trails off, gazing back out the window

"Yknow," she starts again "whenever it would rain hard like this, I used to dance in it with my friends when we were kids"

Percy looks at Y/N lovingly as she tells him her story. He turns his attention to the window examining how hard it's raining out. Percy thinks for a moment before grabbing Y/N's hand,

"Come with me," he says leading her

Y/N stumbles behind him "Darling. where are we going?" she asks confused

Percy leads Y/N to the front door and swings it open. The cold breeze and smell of rain meet the both of them at the door. Percy steps into the rain, turning to Y/N and extending his hand,

"Lady Y/N, do me the honor of allowing me this dance!" he yells over the rain

Y/N smiles softly "you don't have to do this dear," she says shyly

"I want to, for you," Percy says. In truth, Percy has always been afraid of what people think of him. Before he met Y/N he wouldn't have been caught dead in the rain much less dancing in it, but for her smile, he would do anything.

Y/N lets out a small laugh before grabbing Percy's hand and allowing him to twirl her into the rain.

The pair danced and laughed all over the front yard, the ankles of their pants getting especially soaked from the untainted lawn. They danced together, even when the rain got lighter and lighter, and eventually stopped. Percy took Y/N in his arms facing her to the rainbow that had formed above them,

"That is why I love the rain," Percy starts "No matter where you are, everyone's looking at the same rainbow," he says, planting a kiss on Y/N's cheek.

They would stand there in the yard until the rainbow faded and the dew settled on fresh flowers. Y/N used to love the rain back home, but this was by far her favorite storm.
