When Natsu's morning commute gets interrupted by a cute guy helping a turtle cross the road, Natsu thinks it'll just be a funny story to tell later. But then Sting shows up at Natsu's café, with his cute accent and sweet smile, and Natsu starts to fall in love a bit. Which wouldn't be a problem, except that Natsu already loves Gray. Then Natsu introduces them, and Gray starts falling too. Sting's always been easily infatuated - with the cute air steward, the scuba instructor, the pretty guy at the grocery store - but he's never loved anyone other than Rogue. So when Sting meets Natsu and Gray and starts to feel like maybe this time, the infatuation is more than just a crush, he's not sure what to do, even when Rogue feels the same way. Title is from a South African proveb: "Love, like rain, does not choose the grass on which it falls."
