Author's note: *Sigh* Ok, people the last two or three weeks had been ...'unkind' to me. And I just wanted to tell you with this that I haven't forgotten about you or the pairing. I liked that drabble really and all I did was extend it. I'm writing on a new one shot. Which could be seen as prequel, but so could any other One-shot. I'll leave that to you. You don't have to review this. Not even I think it's worth the effort. -.-

Edit: Story was under revision. Change Fried into Freed so people don't get confused. I hate when FF-net changes name tags!

Runestar Melodies (One Shot/Extended drabble – Nr. 7 Anything for Love / Meat Loaf)
By Misty Mina

Laxus had called him to meet him in his room. Freed couldn't imagine what he wanted to talk about. He sounded angry, almost furious and he didn't want others to listen in. If he didn't know any better, he'd say he was walking into the heart of danger instead to meet his first and best friend. When he entered the room it didn't take a second and Freed knew he was in deep trouble. The aura around Laxus was hostile. The same way he would regard an enemy and not a friend.

"I always considered you a loyal friend of mine, Freed." The tall blond accused.

Freed looked shocked to say the least. What had gotten into his friend?

"I am!" The rune mage assured. He owed his life to Laxus and would follow him through hell and back. Why did he doubt his loyalty?

"So? And yet you are messing around? With her of all the chicks available? I wanted her and you knew it!"

Freed knew who 'Her' was. And yes, he'd been seeing her despite knowing that Laxus wanted that particular girl. He didn't ask her out and he didn't fall in love immediately. It just happened. But he didn't regret it, not for one second. He looked away, trying to come up with a suitable reply. Suddenly the thunder mage demanded the impossible.

"Dump her!"

Being between a rock and a hard place now, huh? Either he dumped her or he might lose his best friend. Freed's loyalty was put to the test here.

Laxus smirked, he knew exactly what Freed would do. He was his right-hand man after all.

"No!"

Laxus had to blink.

"...What?"

Freed had narrowed his eyes and actually glared at him in defiance.

What had that girl done to change Freed's nature?

"I said: 'No'! ...You made me choose, now live with my choice!" Freed knew how to get his point across with very few words. For him this discussion was over. He turned on his heel and left the room, leaving a dumbfounded Dragon Slayer behind.

He'd do whatever was necessary. He couldn't let her go. Laxus may own his life, but she owned his heart.

Being with Lucy Heartfilia was the best thing that had ever happened to him and he refused to let go of it just like that. If sacrificing his loyalty was what it took to be with her, then so be it. Anything just so she would singe his soul with her fiery love.

I know it says that the story is 'complete' and generally it is. All those drabbles are complete. XD and I'm just adding chapters when I feel like writing. Believe me, writer's block is a big obstacle to overcome. 'Complete' in this case means just: Don't expect many chapters. If there's an update, then good, if not then don't tell me I didn't warn you. XD
