Parking Mad

A/N: Ok so here is chapter 3 of this, hope you enjoy...

Freed regained consciousness to a very warm feeling around his midriff. "What would dare to wrestle me from my thoughts of Master...an arm?!"

"So you're finally snapped back into it?" The rune mage looked up to see the man of his dreams. Literally. "Didn't think you'd be coming back to the world of the living any time soon if I'm honest."

"I...erm...you are carrying me..."

"No shit Sherlock." Laxus grunted and slightly moved his arm so that he could carry his subordinate more comfortably. "And don't you dare go back to that daze thing or whatever the hell you were doing."

It took Freed all of his strength to resist the urge to fangasm all over his friend's arms. "H-How long was I...?"

"About ten minutes or so."

"Darn it Freed! You've just lost yourself ten minutes with Master Laxus! This insolence will not go...wait, why is he carrying me as though I was a bride?" Red flushed to his face. "Master Laxus, why are you...?"

"...carrying you bridal style?" Laxus finished for him. "Well I was carrying you over my shoulder for a bit, but then I figured it'd be more comfy for you this way considering you passed out like a fuckwit aga-...OH NOT AGAIN, NO!"

Before the birthday boy could pass out again he was thrown on the ground. "I apologise..."

"God dammit Freed is it the sun or something?!" The thunder god crossed his arms and huffed. "You're not usually this...well, passy outy."

Now if there was one thing you could say about Freed Justine, it was that he was a tactical genius, a master planner, an incredible strategist. Therefore when he realised that he had to quickly and craftily conjure up an excuse for his fangirling, the response he gave was both instantaneous and brilliant... "I lose consciousness a lot from woollen fabrics." ...for all the wrong reasons.

Luckily, however, the man he was with was denser than lead. "Woollen fabrics eh? Ahhh so that's why you always pass out around me!"

"Y-Yes it is indeed. Apologies for my body being so feeble as to...M-Master Laxus, why are you removing your coat?"

Flinging it onto a nearby group of elderly men, Laxus beamed at his friend. "There we go, no more passing out now. Man you should've said something sooner and I could have ditched it at home. Come to think of it today is pretty humid anyways...may as well undo a few but-..."

"THAT WILL NOT BE NECCESSARY!" Freed yelled before he died of blood loss from his nose. "Perhaps I should tell him I have an allergy to silk as well so he will remove his shirt..." "P-Park!" He squeaked, desperately trying to shake the indecent thoughts from his head.

"Yes Freed, we are going to the park. We have been for the past ten minutes but I have no ide-...oh wait, there it is." He sighed as he caught sight of the Magnolia Central Park. "God this place sucks."

Magnolia Central Park was of course one of the highlights of the city. With not only one, but three fountains accompanying its array of picnic areas and amazing monuments, it truly was a sight to behold. This of course meant Laxus hated it.

"We could go somewhere else if you wish?" Freed suggested but Laxus waved the comment away.

"I carried your ass for waaaaaay too long to go somewhere else, now choose somewhere to sit and I'll grab some shitty food from one of those stalls."

Laxus then headed off to a nearby burger van, leaving Freed with an incredibly important decision. "Why must this park contain so many benches?! Picking the ideal place for Master Laxus and myself is almost impossible! Ok now think...the first three here are suitably clean, however they are lacking an appropriate view for a meal. On the other hand the following two have a spectacular view of the field leading up to the fountain, yet from here I cannot be assured of their quality. The question now is whether I take a risk with the-..."

The rune mage was cut off by a whistling sound behind him. Turning, he saw his present sitting on the grass nearby holding two burgers. "You were just standing there so I picked this spot. Deal with it."

"Of course Master Laxus!" He replied, rushing over and sitting next to him. "What delicacy are we dining on today then?"

"A burger with questionable meat inside it." Laxus laughed and handed him one of the two burgers. "I didn't know if you wanted any sauce so I just grabbed a bunch of packets for you."

"So thoughtful as usual!" Freed thought, nodding and selecting a couple of sauces to add to his burger. "Now I must eat correctly in the presence of Master Laxus. Correct etiquette dictates that...oh, he appears to have finished his."

Indeed he had. "Its not poisoned you know."

Freed blinked. "W-What?"

"The burger; I didn't poison this one."

"Oh ah ha ha ha ha!" Freed exclaimed melodramatically. "That was a very humorous joke!"

It was Laxus' turn to blink. "Erm yeah...are you ok man? You still seem a bit off."

"I am perfectly fine Master Laxus, thank you for asking." Freed shouted before wolfing down his burger. "See, I'm one hundred percent ok!"

"S-Sure you are man." The blonde quirked an eyebrow. "Look if something is bothering you I'm here. I mean sure I'll laugh my ass off at you if its something utterly stupid, but mostly I'll support you and stuff. So what's up?"

"N-Nothing is wrong at all Mas-..."

"Cut the bullshit Freed, something is clearly wrong." Laxus sighed. "Ok fine; I promise I won't tell anybody about what it is. I swear on the guild and rock and roll. Just tell me man."

Once again Freed had to act fast to avoid being called out. "Ok so I can't use the coat thing again because he is no longer wearing it. Wow his body looks really defined today...FOCUS! I suppose I could go for the..."

Luckily our green haired friend was saved by an elderly gentleman and his grandson. Being tourists in the area they knew none of the scams that the locals would try to impose on them. The current scam was them being sold free tickets to visit Fairy Tail no less; something which Laxus could not stand by and let happen. "Hold that thought buddy, I'll be right back."

"...and you'll get to see Natsu and Erza and all of the..." The man told them before he felt a huge hand collapse on his shoulder.

"Heard you were talking shit mate." Laxus told him, causing him to literally start crying with fear and run away, leaving hundreds of fliers scattered on the ground. "Apologies for him; some of the people around here are just mean. Now my name is..."

"Laxus Dreyar!" The child exclaimed, his jaw dropping in awe. "You're like the second coolest wizard in the whole of Fairy Tail!"

The Thunder God's chest puffed out. "Indeed I a-...wait, second coolest? Who's cooler than me?"

The old man chuckled. "Well my grandson has a huge obsession over runes I'm afraid, so his favourite would have to be Freed Justine. He meant you no offence of course."

Laxus grinned. "Oh none was taken. Say kid, what's you're name?"

"Its Peter Mr Dreyar."

"Well Peter, how would you like to have lunch with myself and Freed?"

The child's eyes lit up in awe. "T-T-That would be the coolest thing ever!"

The Thunder God smiled and led the two to where Freed was sitting. "Freed this is Peter and..."

"David." The old man told them. "It is an honour."

"T-The honour is mine!" Freed sprung up and bowed to the pair. "It is a pleasure to meet you two."

"I..." Peter started before trailing off in shock.

Laxus chuckled. "He's a fan. Sorry man but I have a bit of a soft spot for these kind of people."

"So your grandfather still has a place in your heart." Freed thought with a smile then joined in talking to the pair. Turns out the two of them weren't so bad after all, but after several signings and photos they had to leave to explore the rest of the town.

As they walked away Laxus waved. "Tell anyone about this and I'll break you."

Freed chuckled. "What, that deep inside you still have a heart of gold? Or that you have a soft spot for people that remind you of your grandfather?"

"Take your pick, both will get you killed." Laxus scowled then stood up. "Right then, so this happened. What's next on the itinerary?"

The rune mage blinked. "I-Itinerary? I recall having no such thing-..."

"Easy easy! Just messing around with you. I mean how the hell could you have planned for this?!"

"Y-Yeah...it is impossible..." Freed said sheepishly, relieved that his actual day plan hadn't fallen out of his pocket. Of course that list was back in his house somewhere but by god it existed. And needless to say not all of the activities on it included Laxus having clothes on...

"So...anywhere you fancy going? Pretty sure there's something new opening up nearby here."

"That would be the swimming pool Master Laxus." The birthday boy informed him, having thoroughly researched every area of Magnolia for no real reason. "It opened a few days ago, however I have not had someone to go with and therefore have not been."

The Thunder God grinned. "Well you have someone now don't you."

"B-But I do not have the proper attire to..."

"Fuck it we'll buy some there. That or swim in our boxers."

Freed's face lit up at that mental image. "Why must he tempt me so?!" "O-Ok then. To the swimming pool it is."

A/N: Well this happened :P Hope you enjoyed this one :)
