Freed's best day ever
A/N: So I haven't done one of these in a while and I figured I would. Also I haven't done anything about Freed really and I love the guy, so here goes. Thoughts are in italics...
Freed awoke at his usual time of 5:00am with a huge smile on his face. "That dream was amazing! Who knew that Master Laxus could be so caring, or so gentle when it came to *scene missing*. I wonder how he is doing at this very moment..."
Hopping out of bed, he immediately got to work resetting his covers to their previous position. Indeed this is why he always woke up at this hour; getting ready and sorting his flat to its usual state was a task that took him at least three hours. Did he do this to music I hear you ask? Well sometimes, but on this particular day, like many others, his thoughts were more directed towards...
"...and that would give the Thunder Legion an efficiency increase of at least two percent! Plus it would save us exactly three jewels per annum! Master Laxus will be so impressed with this plan! Now with regards to the washing of his coat, I believe I should..."
-At the guild hall-
The time was five minutes to quarter to 10:00am, which was when Freed usually arrived at the guild, and everyone was amassing the presents on the bar. After all today was a very special day.
"Maybe if you move Natsu and Lucy's presents to the left and right a little you may be able to squeeze your present right in the middle of them." Mira told Cana.
The card mage nodded and slid her suspiciously bottle-shaped present right next to the poorly wrapped books and the completely unwrapped green scarf. "Reckon he's going to like them all?"
"I don't think it will matter what we get him." Mira smiled then nodded towards the two considerably larger presents on the floor in front of them. "So long as those three get him something good, I'm sure he'll be ecstatic. Especially if..."
"The fuck is all this shit?!" Laxus yelled, casually strolling into the guild hall with a puzzled look on his face. "Did someone die? Is it Macao?! Please tell me its Macao!"
Bickslow laughed. "Yeah very funny Master, now you can put your stuff right at the front there."
The Thunder God blinked. "What stuff? Was I supposed to be getting stuff?"
"Yeah the present." Evergreen told him, although judging by his facial expression she was beginning to think the worst. "You did remember right?"
"Remember...remember...erm, what am I remembering?"
The pair groaned in unison. "God I knew he would forget!"
"This is why we should have stapled a note to his forehead!" Bickslow whined before being grabbed by his master.
"Forget what? What the hell are you idiots...?"
"IT'S FREED'S 21st YOU IDIOT!" They yelled at him and horror dawned on his face.
"...shit that's today?!" Everyone in the guild could feel the internal cringe coming from the S-Class mage. "Why the hell didn't you remind me?!"
"We did remind you!"
"Every day for the last month!"
"At least three times a day!"
"We even wrote it in the sk-..." Their rant was cut short when the birthday boy himself walked straight into the guild. "Ohhhh here he is! Better think of something quick!"
"Good morning everyone." Freed smiled, delivering his usual greeting despite his excitement. "I see you have amassed quite a collection of presents for me."
Mira immediately slid in front of the bumbling dragon slayer to give him time to think. "Yes we have Freed and I hope you like them all! Now, who's do you want to open first?"
"Not me not me not me not me!" Laxus prayed silently whilst maintaining his poker face.
Luckily Freed's subconscious stepped up to save him. "Well I think I shall save the gifts from my team until last."
And so the present opening began. Natsu's was obviously the green scarf, just like Happy's was the canned tuna. Lucy and Levi had both provided him with the same copy of "Runes Runes Runes: The Extended Edition" which caused a small argument to break out, and was only solved when Cana's mysterious alcoholic liquid was distributed to the group. Of course Freed didn't drink any himself since he wanted to fully enjoy his Master's present, but everyone else did. The affects varied from temporary blindness to extreme hallucinations. Cana had never been more proud.
Well, everyone with the exception of... "So...considering the rest of the guild appear to be in some sort of comatose state, would you mind giving me my present now Master Laxus?"
"Shit I thought I would have more time with this! Ok man you've got this, just think of something like you usually do. Like that time you got Jellal out of paying for that drink driving fine. I still can't believe they throw people in jail for murde-...wait, that's it!" Popping his collar, Laxus put on his trademark grin and cleared his throat. "Well I thought long and hard about it, but then I realised something; I already am the perfect present. After all, how could you ever receive something better than the gift of me?"
The rune mage thought about it for half a minute before giving up. "I am sorry Master Laxus but I have no idea what that means."
Laxus laughed. "It's simple you idiot; you've got me for the day. I'll do whatever stupid shit you want me to do with you until it hits midnight."
"Just like Cinderella then?" Wendy asked, strolling into the guild hall and quietly adding her gift to the others.
"Albeit with a hell of a lot more awesome, but sure why not." He shrugged then looked at the birthday boy. "Sound good to you?"
All Freed could manage was a shaky thumbs up and a "A-A-Are you sure about-..."
"Yes I'm sure, that's why I suggested it you idiot!" Laxus snorted. "Now pick something to do already."
"Um...well what would you...?"
"Freed who's birthday is it today?"
"M-Mine."The green haired wizard flashed a smile before returning to his broken stuttering.
"Correct." His master rolled his eyes and patted him on the back. "Now pick something you want to do with me. Anything you want."
Instantly several 18+ thoughts flashed through Freed's head, causing him to start drooling. Thankfully Laxus had nothing better to do, and so he simply waiting until his friend calmed down. "Well...there is a new book shop I wanted to check out..."
The blonde groaned internally but nodded. "Sounds like a plan to me."
Thus Freed's best day ever began.
A/N: So this is being a multi-chapter thing because why not?
