This is a small collection of my entries for this year's Fraxus Week. It was back in July and I didn't upload them here yet because I hoped I'd finish all prompts buuut unfortunately I didn't get around to do it so it remained these five. I hope you'll enjoy them though! (: So here's Fraxus Week Eve with the prompt 'Sharing' feat. Ever and Bix! BD
"They'll notice!"
Bixlow just waved his hand and shushed his partner in crime, a typical grin on his face. He was sure that his plan was gonna work, oh and how it was! "If you're not quiet then they will, yea!"
It was one of the moments Evergreen was questioning why they were doing this. But then she remembered that she was as curious as the seith mage was and honestly, it was about time that Freed and Laxus became an official thing.
So what was it that they had done? Right, set everything up so the other two men were forced to share a sleeping bag. In Bixlow's eyes this plan just had to work and if his friends still didn't realize that a confession was already due then he didn't know anymore. This was just perfect; the two of them cuddled up against each other, as close as they could be.
Well, almost.
Evergreen and Bixlow had claimed to go and fetch some more firewood and they were gonna do so (it would be too suspicious if they returned with nothing at all) but at first they spent some more moments hiding behind the bushes and watching the scene which, currently, consisted of Freed and Laxus lying in the sleeping bag without moving.
If the two team mates were honest then they hadn't expected everything to go as smoothly as it did. The dragon slayer and the rune master had simply accepted the situation and crawled into the sleeping bag together. They were quiet now but not even Laxus complained about this confined space and of course Bixlow took that as one of the signs.
"I can't believe we have to intrude like this," Ever whispered, a quiet huff following. It was a loving huff though. She did love her boys a lot after all. But they were being really oblivious… Laxus was, at least. And Freed… Well, maybe he was just cautious about confessing. Or he was oblivious as well and didn't see that Laxus was head over heels for him, too.
"Yea honestly, everyone can see that they're in love. They're gonna thank us for this!"
Oh little did they know what was really going on.

"When are we going to tell them?" Freed was hardly able to keep his lips from curving into a chuckle. Oh Ever and Bix thought they were getting them but in fact it was Freed and Laxus playing with them and not the other way round. They deserved it, Bixlow especially.
Admittedly though it became really hard to keep their 'secret' a secret.
Grinning softly Laxus tried to turn onto his side and managed to do so after some struggles. This sleeping bag really was damn small. "Not yet," he mumbled, clearly enjoying to fool his two friends.
"Well when we do we should thank them for giving us this opportunity to cuddle," the rune mage added whilst he too turned onto his side and ended up looking right into orange eyes. They weren't dumb and if Laxus paid extra attention to it then he was able to register Bixlow and Ever's clearly lingering scents. Fresh scents. As fresh as they could be. They were watching and waiting for something.
And honestly, as they laid there it was really tempting to share a kiss. That what both of the men seemed to realize at the same time and it caused Freed to smile. "You know, I would really like to kiss you right now."
"Hm… yea."
It was dead silent for a moment. However, both of them quietly agreed that it wasn't the time and they would just have to resist. For how long had they been a couple now? A few weeks.
"We don't want them to give themselves away just yet, do we? If we kissed then it's certain that they would jump out of their cover," Freed huffed and rolled his eyes and the chuckle he heard coming from Laxus educed a smile from him.
"Yea, probably…"
These idiots.
