Laxus hurriedly got ready to go meet Bickslow and Ever at the train station for our job. I worked on brushing my hair while I waited for my clothes to be done in the wash. My hair was in a mess from not pinning it up before I slept. It took almost another half hour to get it brushed and styled. Fortunately as soon as I finished my hair, the washer beeped signifying my clothes being done.

"I got it," Laxus called from the other room. He had been taking a shower and getting ready while I was waiting for my clothes. "Shit. Freed, we're gonna have to stop by your house on the way to the train station and your clothes are gonna have to be dry cleaned. The stains didn't come out. Oh and I found your sword on the floor of my room. It almost cut my foot."

"Thanks, I was wondering if it was here or at home. I'm glad you found it before the job. Speaking of the job, we should hurry or Ever and Bickslow are gonna be even more angry than they most likely already are," I replied. Shit, that's my favorite coat. Now I can't wear it for like a week. I'm going to be rather angry, mostly at my drunken self, if the stain doesn't come out. I've had that coat for as long as I can remember. I inspected the sword closely to make sure there was no damage or stains on it. Luckily, it was in perfect condition, as always.

"Okay, let's go then," Laxus replied, walking out the door and gesturing for me to follow. "Man if Bickslow saw you coming out of my house, wearing my clothes he would have all kinds of jokes to make," Laxus laughed.

We got to my house rather quickly because it was only a few streets away from Laxus's house. It was also equal distance from the train station, which made it all the easier to just stop by to get clothes on the way. "Ok, I'll iust change my clothes real quick, you can sit in here if you want." I pointed towards the living room. After he sat down, I ran into my room and grabbed some pants and a Spare jacket, that wasn't nearly as nice as my coat. It was black instead of red and it wasn't as long as my other one. I changed my pants and just put the jacket on over Laxus's shirt. I didn't quite want to wake up from my dream with Laxus just yet. I put my boots on again and holstered my sword, ready to go.

"Ok, let's try to get there before they leave without us." I yelled, as I started running towards the train station, with Laxus beside me. It only took us about 5 minutes to see Evergreen standing impatiently by the station and Bickslow playing with his babies, annoying her further. Evergreen noticed us and waited for us to walk up to her before speaking.

"Damn, I though you two would never show up. We were just going to leave without you soon," she angrily said.

"I thought you guys were still doing it at Laxus's house," Bickslow said crudely, still looking at his babies. Wait, how did he know about that? I felt my face slowly turn red as I processed what he just said. His babies repeating the last words he had said didn't help. He started laughing like a maniac when he saw my face.

"What do you mean, Bickslow," Laxus said, pretending he had no idea what was going on. Like I was supposed to be doing.

"Come on Laxus. I think everyone in the guild who wasn't drunk out of their minds knows what happened between you two," Bickslow said, his tongue lolling about as usual, "Isn't that right babies" he turned towards us, with his babies behind him.

"You two. Babies," Bickslow's dolls repeated his words.

With that it was Laxus's turn to turn red. "W-what do you mean?!" Laxus stuttered, further proving Bickslow's point.

"Well, Freed here," he patted my back, " had some drinks and told you he loved you." My turn to turn red again.

"Loved you. Loved you," the babies made it worse.

"Then, after you had drunken all of the liquor you could handle, you told Freed that if he loved you 'he should come back to your place so he could see just how much he loved you'," Evergreen continued, laughing as if it were some kind of joke.

"So did you guys do it?" Bickslow asked, although he already knew the correct answer, he wanted to hear Laxus say it.

"Our train's here," Laxus said, to change the subject, "We have to..." he paused to look down at the request, "'Take down some dark mages who are plaguing a town with their evil ways'," he quoted from the paper.

"And the ride is going to take a few hours. You can describe how you did Freed to me," Bickslow changed the subject right back, in his perverted voice. My face turned even more red, if that was possible.

"Freed! Freed!" His babies chanted around him. Dear god. This train ride was going to be a living hell. Bickslow pestering us. Evergreen laughing at us. And Laxus acting like he didn't even know me.

A/N - Short chapter, but I felt like I wanted to post it before I went to bed. I know I said it would be a week, but I wrote this and wanted to post it.
