Fairy Tail One-Shots

NaVia ~ Warmth

Author's P.O.V.

It was a quiet day at the guild, not many people were in, they were either out on missions or on vacation. It was the summer, after all. Some, however, simply ran away from the guild, to avoid the looming gloom looming over the guild hall. Yes, the looming gloom looming over the guild hall, that some ran away from (author-chan can so totally English). 

The water-wizard Juvia, sat alone at a table, drenched by the mini storm cloud pouring over her. To avoid getting soaked, no one went near her. Of course that wasn't what was bothering her. No, that was the least of her problems. There was something else eating away at her, gnawing on her heart and making it rain inside too. Something so unbearable, she couldn't understand why she was staying at the guild. Something tragic-

"Yo! What's up!" The sudden out burst made her jump in her seat, a small blot of lightning almost struck her blue hair. He breathed in and out rapidly, trying to process what just happened. She looked up and saw a certain pink-haired boy standing over her, grinning like some idiot. 

"Hi Juvia! How are you?" Said a cuter voice. She looked down at the table, and saw Natsu's little blue companion, Happy, waving a small paw at her, grinning equally foolishly. 

Confused, Juvia only managed to convey a few broken syllables. "Man, it's soakin' wet, why'd you gotta rain all the time Juvia," still processing... "Hey Happy, go find us a job, would'ya?" still processing... "Lucy needs to pay her rent again, geez, she really needs to learn how to manage her money better," still processing... "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Lucy around lately. Hey, Juvia, do you know where she went?" click.

The bluenette suddenly started quivering in her seat, quietly whimpering, "Hey, 'you okay?" He asked. She suddenly burst out crying, the storm cloud poured down faster than ever, even Natsu got soaked, "H-Hey!"

"Gray left on a job without me! And Lucy went with did! Lucy did! My beloved chose Lucy over Juvia!" She cried, a fountain of tears splashed over the table and surrounding chairs she sat at. 

"No way! But I just found the perfect job for her!" Happy whined as he flew back with a piece of paper, "The reward is 300 000 jewels, it would've paid for this month's rent plus interest!"

"Why would she have gone off with that ice-freak anyway?! I thought we were a team!" Natsu complained in turn. He sat next to Juvia, arms crossed a disappointed look on his face. He got full blast of Juvia's rain, but he didn't seem to care, or get cold. "And now we can't even take this job. Three hundred thou doesn't split two ways; three is an odd number!" 

"Actually Natsu, it ca-"

"Oh! I know!" The poor blue exceed got interrupted before he could finish, "Why don't you come with us, Juvia?" 

The rain slowed and she blinked at him twice, even more confused than when he first came. "But Natsu," Happy said, "This reward can be split in two. We each get one-hundr-"

"Come on, whad'ya say? Your partner left, our teammate left, let's make a team so we all get work done! And with you on the team, we'll be able to split the reward equally."

"I- uh..."

"Natsu!"

"All right then, it's settled, you're gonna be a part of our team!" He grabbed her wrist and stood up, "Let's go!" He ran out the guild full speed, dragging Juvia all the way out and into the streets of Magnolia. 

Happy flew not far behind, trying to catch up to his friend as much as possible. "But Natsu! It can be split two ways! WE'D EACH GET 150 000!!!"
