Dorks and Dragons
A/N: Time to turn up the nerd volume to 11 and get this show on the road!
"Ugh...where...where am I?" Freed groaned, painfully opening his eyes and looking around.
"Certainly not heaven." Came the response and Freed sat bolt upright.
"M-Master L-L-Laxus what are y-you...ohhh my head!"
Freed fell back into the bed clutching his head with his friend chuckled. "Welcome to the glory of hangovers my friend; they'll hit you until you're down then kick you in the teeth."
The rune mage rubbed his temples before clumsily tracing some symbols on his forehead with his index finger. Suddenly a bright flash of light shone out and the next thing he knew the pain was gone. "Excellent! It works!"
"...what the hell did you just..."
Freed sat upright and rubbed his eyes. "It was simply a small spell I have been concocting for some time now to dispel illusions and clear minds." He explained, stretching and slowly opening his eyes. "I was unsure as to whether it would on such a condition but...wait, where am I?"
Laxus was stunned. "You're telling me you have a cure for hangovers?!"
"W-Well not just that..."
"Freed you nerdy genius!" The Thunder God yelled and hugged his friend, almost causing the poor man to pass out once again with happiness. "Dude you have to show me how to do that! Christ you have to tell everyone how to do that! Man Cana is going to love yo-..."
"Where am I?"
Laxus blinked and released him. "Oh, right. My house."
Freed processed that for a whole second before blushing wildly. "I-I...w-why?"
The blonde grinned. "Well after you collapsed in the pub I carried your dumb ass here so you could rest. You've been out for a couple of hours sleeping like a baby."
"FAILURE! You inadequacy at tolerating alcohol has once again cost you dearly! A punishment will be in order once...wait, if you are in his house then you must be..." "Is this your bed?" Laxus nodded. "I...erm, you let me sleep in your bed?"
The lightening mage shrugged. "Well you looked like a sleeping puppy so I just stuck you next to me and had a nap."
Now if the previous events of the day could be considered amazingly, this situation was utterly divine for the rune mage. "I am in his bed. Laxus' bed! WITH HIM! I SLEPT WITH HIM! IN HIS BED! LAXUS' BED I SLEPT WITH HIM AND I...I was unconscious the whole time. CURSE YOU ALCOHOL!" In his daze, Freed unconsciously stretched his right arm out under the covers and came into contact with a very naked and muscular thigh. "I...are you...?"
"Don't worry I'm wearing boxers Freed." Laxus chuckled then turned over to wrap his arm around the birthday boy. "Or at least I was before we started spooning..."
Right on queue Freed's nose exploded, showering the bed with blood. "YOU DID WHAT?!"
The blonde literally fell out of bed laughing as the smaller man struggled to contain himself. "I...oh god dammit Freed you're too easy to mess with." Standing up, the Thunder God stretched and walked to the door. "Ahhh its getting on anyways so I'll go grab your coat and we can go do that dumb ass Dungeons and Dipshits thing."
Luckily for Freed Laxus was facing away and failed to catch the secondary spurt of blood that was triggered by his appearance. "I...well...this day is...I...yes. Yes indeed. I shall have to remember to acquire some more Vaseline for future occasions. Ahee...he...wait, Dungeons and...?" "You were serious about going?"
"Yeah sure I was!" Laxus called from the other room. "I mean I know I'm cool as shit usually but I figured that one day a year I can have off to be tainted by your nerdiness."
Freed blushed once again. "I...see..well thank you for your sacrifice." Laxus stuck his hand round the door and gave his friend a thumbs up before vanishing again. "So I was...we cuddled...now dragons...he heeee..."
Freed somehow managed to leave the incredibly Laxus'y smelling bed and discovered that his clothes were in surprisingly good shape. And also mostly hanging on a wardrobe. Three feet away from the bed. "L-Laxus why a-are my clo-..."
"On the dresser?" Laxus appeared, wearing another slightly cleaner purple shirt. "I wasn't sure if you were gonna be sick in your sleep so I hung them up there."
The rune mage looked first at his friend, then at his hung up clothes, then back to Laxus, then the clothes, and finally at his underwear clad bottom. "Oh."
"Was...that a bit weird or something?"
"NOT AT ALL THAT IS A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE THING THAT HAPPENED!" Freed blurted out then dived at his clothes, getting changed as quickly as possible whilst hiding his ever growing blush. "I...almost naked...he was too...brain...starting to die..."
The Thunder God, unsure as to why his green haired friend had decided to wrestle with his clothes with a face redder than a tomato, shrugged and gestured towards the door. "I'd give you more of a tour of the place but we're in a hurry. Sort of. Little bit of one I guess. Let's get going; I'll give you the tour of the place later tonight..."
It was the wink that did it. Like a vampires hose the blood erupted from his nose and covered not only his clothes, but Laxus' too. Completely. Years of repressed naughty thoughts came flooding through Freed's head. "The bed does have posts...and the chair is sturdy enough for both of us...and...and...shit! No no no no I have to stop! If I keep going I will...he will...he he he..."
"Dude...the fuck?!" Immediately the blood stopped and the rune mage came back to reality to find his crush soaked in blood.
"...I can explain..."
"Oh there's no need to explain!" Laxus folded his arms and shook his head. "How long has this been going on for?"
Busted. "E-Erm I have no idea w-what you mean?" Freed quickly wiped the dripping blood from his nose and put his hands behind his back. "YOU FOOL! NOW HE DEFINITELY KNOWS OUR UNDYING LOVE FOR..."
"How long have you been ill for?"
"The birthday fairy must be real." Freed coughed to hide his smile, which ended up backing up Laxus' theory. "Oh...erm...I would say approximately two weeks now. But I am feeling better so..."
"Dammit man you should tell me! I dragged you on the quest and in the park and...dammit I probably made you more ill!"
"N-Not to worry Mas-...Laxus I...erm...protected myself with a layer of heat magic!"
Had any other person been told such a stupid lie they would have immediately saw through this thin veil of deception. However Laxus was one of the minority. "Oh...you can do that? Shit you'll have to teach me some time. Are you gonna be ok to go out still then?" Freed nodded. "And you're not bullshitting me? Because we can stay in my bedroom and..." Freed's nodding became more vigorous and appeared more like he was head banging. "...well if you're sure then ok. I'll get changed and we'll..."
"Not to worry I have this!" This time Freed's niche magic interests paid off, and after a few quick runes the blood was gone. "Now Jasper's house is very close by so it should only take about five minutes to get there."
-15 minutes later-
"...I'm just saying that had we gone straight..."
"...We would have gone through several houses and caused several casualties."
"I have money to pay!"
"That is aside from the point Laxus." Freed sighed. He knew that while his blonde friend was almost perfection, his sense of direction was not. "At least we got here on ti-...why are they here."
Bickslow and Evergreen both waved. "Well we were told that you were doing nerdy shit for your birthday so we figured we'd come laugh."
"Besides," Blickslow grinned. "I want to see Laxus fail at this."
The lightening mage rolled his eyes. "How do you know I'll suck? Hell you're the one that'll suck."
Bickslow raised an eyebrow. "Oh? So tell me; how do you roll for your stats?"
Laxus thought for a moment. "Well...I mean its based on how many quests we've done right?"
Freed's head dropped. This was going to be a long session.
A/N: University drained away my life but I occasionally back for random stories. Merry Christmas and stuff!
