Lessons From The Elements

(I don't own Fairy Tail...>.<)

Gajeel sighed as he let himself fall onto his bed that sat in his new apartment. He couldn't believe how soft he had gotten in just a little after a week since joining that crazy, one of a kind, Fairy Tail.

Not long after the Fantasia parade, Gajeel went straight home to sleep. He wouldn't admit it, but that Lightning Jerk had really worn him out. Not to mention the party after the parade. Gajeel had decided that Fairy Tail was good at two things. Parties, and Destruction.

He grunted at the thought. Those idiots were still partying at this very moment. He, however, had had enough to drink and needed to rest.

"Fairy Tail sure is a fun guild, right Gajeel-kun?"

The Iron Dragon Slayer stared at the still unfamiliar ceiling as the Rain Woman's words came to mind. She was very different than before. In fact, the new version creeped him out a little at first. It's still kind of weird seeing her so happy all the time. Not that Gajeel minded that, but after knowing her for so long as 'That Gloomy Girl', seeing her brightly smile all the time made him happy too. The image of her passing by on the float with that Ice Boy came to mind. She had said that he was the one that took the rain away. Though Gajeel wasn't sure if he liked that guy or not, Juvia very clearly had strong feelings for him. So Gajeel decided to keep his eye on this Gray Stripbuster for now. He'd let himself die slowly and painfully before he'd let another guy treat her like that Bora character did... At any rate, she almost looked like a real princess up on that float, smiling down at everyone with that goofy grin of hers.

He smirked up at the non-responsive ceiling. That girl was something else alright. She had this uncanny effect that made you smile when she did. His grin faltered a bit. He still had to wonder if she was dealing with pain all by herself like before. Don't think he didn't notice, all that time ago, that she was lonely and tried not to let it show. But at that time, he just didn't have the gaul to care.

Now, however, was different. He doesn't know when, but she had become someone dear to him recently. He would even admit that she was probably his best friend. Not that this tough guy would ever proclaim it, but he secretly hoped that she wasn't lonely now that she had Fairy Tail. She had told him that she had moved into Fairy Hills too, where most of the other girls from the guild, even that Shrimp Levy, lived.

He raised a studded eyebrow. Now that Shorty confused him. They spoke the same language, but he couldn't understand anything she said...

Gajeel ran a hand down his face. Where were his thoughts going? He sat up, glancing down at his bandages, then after rolling his eyes, he glanced out the window. It was very clear out, and the moon was in full swing too. He took in a deep breathe. Just as he thought, no scent of rain.

He almost...missed it. If anything, it told him that she was nearby. Wherever she was, there was rain. That was a common known fact to all that knew her. Even if she had passed out at the bar in the guild one night, there was still rain. The rain also told him what she was thinking, even if her face was straight. When they went on missions together, he found that out the hard way. When she was sad or disappointed, the rain grew heavy. When she was uneasy or upset, the wind always picked up. Then there was when she got angry... Gajeel shuddered at the thought.

Now he has never been scared of the Rain Woman, but that didn't mean she wasn't scary at times. Everyone knew when she was angry, and though it only happened a few times, a few was enough. When she got angry, storms would start a brewin. Bad ones. With harsh thunder and lightning at her command. Her demeanor didn't change, she still would have that stoic look the whole time, but man... She had one nasty glare. A sharp gaze that he would never expect her to be able to muster.
