This idea has been on my mind for like two or three weeks now and I finally decided to try and write for it. This will be a mini multichap fanfic with four or five parts and I hope that I will be able to upload one per week. This is my first time writing Bixlu too so if you have any tips for writing this pairing feel free to share them with me! :) So here's the first part of this Fremi and Bixlu double date!

"We have to go soon, are you ready?" It was the second time she was asking and this time she didn't even receive a reply, not immediately at least. It was hard to miss that Lucy was nervous, more nervous than she had thought she would be. After all it wasn't like she was going to meet people she didn't know at all.

Still, this would be her very first double date and Bixlow and her hadn't been a couple for long either. Her nervousness was absolutely justified, right? In Lucy's opinion it definitely was and she walked up and down like a tiger in a cage while waiting for the seith mage to join her in the room. What was taking him so long?

It was the fear that it would be awkward or that she could possibly mess something up that made her feel a little nauseous. She was well aware that she would be in company of her guild mates, her friends… but still, she just couldn't help it so when Bixlow finally stepped into a room wearing nothing but a towel Lucy honestly felt conflicted.

He looked so good. But they really, really had to leave soon. She didn't want to be too late!

"You've been showering only now?!" She almost squeaked out the question, feeling a slight bit of despair when all she got in response was a chuckle from the tall male.

"Calm down, Cosplayer, we're going to be on time. You're as bad as Freed, jeez."

Now Lucy had no idea how strict Freed was concerning punctuality but she did know that her boyfriend was using this ridiculous nickname just to tease her some more and that's why her cheeks puffed out, the slightest of blushes becoming visible on her cheeks. Honestly! How could he be so relaxed? Or was she really exaggerating?

Probably… She just wanted the evening to be good. Most of the time she spent with her friends and guild mates ended up in a mess. They were Fairy Tail mages after all, that was explanation enough. But…

Emitting a sigh after another moment Lucy cast down her eyes. Having turned around and moved out of the room again in order to dress himself Bixlow didn't notice. However, when she spoke up again he was very well able to hear the insecurity in her voice.

"I just want everything to go well, Bix…," she admitted intertwining her fingers and the blush still bright on her face. "I'm not… experienced. And I don't know Freed as well as you do." Truth be told, she had great respect for the rune mage. They hadn't talked a lot, something that had changed a little during the last weeks, and he still tended to intimidate her just a bit with the aura he gave off even though she had seen him have his dorky moments and how relaxed and playful he could be in certain situations and moods, or around the right people. Yea, she had noticed how he had opened up ever since the Battle of Fairy Tail just like Bixlow had. She had noticed him smile and smirk more often and how he was always there when somebody needed help. And yet… some things she had heard about him and the strict vibes he still radiated at times… She just couldn't help but feel nervous when it came to a situation like this one. A double date. Maybe she would have been less nervous if it had been a simple meeting among friends. Even though it was almost the same, just a different label.

"Pretty sure this is Freed and Mira's first double date, too. Besides, Freed can be relaxed and quite some fun. There gotta be a reason he's my best friend, right?" Bixlow joked while slipping into his clothes before then proceeding to go back to the bathroom once more, speaking on. "He's cool as long as ya don't piss him off."

Sounded a bit like Mira, Lucy thought, and tried to use this thought to soothe herself a bit. Mira was a good friend of hers and Freed made her really happy… "… but what if I do?"

"You'll notice."

"Oh great," the blonde huffed and crossed her arms throwing another glance at the clock. Bixlow, hurry up. Was she being ridiculous after all? Was her flurry getting the better of her? Again; probably but that didn't make it any better, not really. Lucy just hoped that this twist in her stomach would disappear as the evening went on and for a moment she was so engrossed in thought that she didn't notice Bixlow sneaking up behind her.

That's why a squeal could be heard when the man suddenly picked her up and spun round and round with her in his grip till stopping abruptly and putting her down though keeping her embraced.

"Bixlow!" Lucy shouted what was followed by a low whine as she had to regain a clear view. She did, however, accepted the embrace without protest as it felt rather calming to be in his arms even though she wanted to slap him for the quiet cackling that came from him right now. "Don't just do that!"

"Can't stop me." But his expression softened, knowing that her nervousness was real and that he had teased her enough for now. "Everything's gonna go well, Lucy."

The celestial mage really wanted to believe that. She really had to try and think positive about this instead of concentrating on what could possibly go wrong. Where was her optimism? Finally though she nodded, lips formed a small pout. "But don't do that again."

Could he promise that? Aaaaah… no. "Not today at least."

Of course. Looking up at him Lucy had her eyes narrowed a bit now, the pout still present what caused Bixlow to grin. "Are you ready now?"

"Yep."

"About time!" And she freed herself from the hug so she could grab his arm and start dragging him towards the door just to realize that she almost forgot her purse!

Meanwhile Freed and Mirajane were almost done preparing food for dinner. They had agreed to eat together at Freed's house (his house was bigger than hers and she would have had to shoo her brother and sister away) and go visit a cozy bar afterwards. It was simple but they were looking forward to it even if the rune mage had been a little skeptical at first.

In contrast to Lucy neither Mira nor Freed were particularly nervous. The only thing that was quite usual was the rune mage having to make sure that the food was perfect and still warm when his best friend and Lucy arrived so the timing had to be accurate, which it was indeed right now. All that's left for them to do were some final touches.

Wearing the 'Kiss the cook' apron he was usually wearing as long as it was his girlfriend who got to see him in it the Raijinshuu's Captain came back into the kitchen after finishing laying the table in the dining room, immediately proceeding with the bit of work he had to do in order to finish the pudding. "Mira, could you give me that bowl?"

"Which one?"

"The dark blue one," he replied while adjusting his pony tail. However, Mirajane seemed to think for a moment and Freed was perfectly familiar with that look of hers. He could almost tell with a certainty of one hundred percent what was coming next and her answer didn't disappoint him.

"It'll cost you," she hummed looking at the bowl and then at him, shifting so she was hiding the item from his sight.

"Oh, really now?" The tone of his voice revealed that he was in fact absolutely not surprised but he still couldn't prevent his lips from curving a bit. So typical, though he had to admit that he didn't mind the payment she was most likely expecting. "Well what do you desire?"

"Hmm…" Mira put her index finger on her lips, tapping it lightly with a familiar gleam in her eyes till voicing her wish. "A kiss will do."

Of course, he hadn't expected anything different and to be honest he was perfectly okay with that. The curve on his lips becoming just a little more evident he laid down the spoon and then stepped closer, forcing him to look down as Mira was one head shorter than him. The barmaid was looking up and squarely into his turquoise eyes instead, a sweet smile on her face as she did so. The playfully mischievous touch in them melted away though when Freed cupped her chin gently and leaned down to capture her lips for the desired kiss.

It was a short one only, a tender and utterly chaste kiss but it still left a comfortably tingling feeling in their stomachs and when they pulled away slowly they smiled.

Until it were Freed's eyes who got the playful, sly glint and he reached around her to grip the bowl she had refused to hand him immediately before quickly turning away. "I'll take this now."

However, Mira just chuckled, a sound that usually educed another smile from the rune mage, as they both continued to finish up the preparations. A quick look at the clock told them that Bixlow and Lucy should arrive very soon.

While said two mages were a rather fresh couple, Freed and Mirajane had been together for a couple of months now. The seith mage was right when stating that neither of them had a double date before and it had been Mira who brought it up in the first place, thinking that it could be fun to spend a nice evening together.

And now she had someone to talk to about the quirks their boyfriends had and how they were in really private life…

A few more minutes had passed when Freed rubbed his forehead after he had checked the food again and noted that everything was to his full satisfaction. Now all they needed to do was to change their garments, something the barmaid mentioned after walking up to him and tiptoeing to place a peck on his cheek right before the two vanished into his bedroom to do so and it turned out that their timing honestly had been perfect.

Just as they came back to the dining room they heard someone knocking on the door, and who else could it have been than who they were expecting? Mira greeted Lucy with a hug, not instantly noticing that the blonde was still claimed by a good deal of nervousness, while Bixlow already began to tell Freed about something that happened to him today. It was a rather casual start into this date, something all of them appreciated, and the amazing scent that filled the visitors' noses right away certainly did help to make the atmosphere an easy-going one for sure.

The evening could begin.

That's it for now, I really hope you enjoyed it so far! Reviews would be very very nice and thank you so much for reading my writing guys! Stay safe and see you :*
