Author's note: Written for a prompt wanting Freed to deal with a Drunk! Laxus and giving points for humor and/or Laxus mistaking him for a girl...I'm pretty sure that my attempts at humor won't earn me much in the way of points…but I tried…and will definitely have to write the sequel to this…because I'm apparently very good at ending at inopportune moments…my apologies. Regardless…enjoy this. Not a lot to warn about other than one drunken kiss, Laxus being intoxicated, Freed threatening to put him in lingerie…I think that's the worst of it…XD *~*~*~*
Sighing, Freed heads to collect his team leader who'd gotten the wise idea to get into a drinking competition with Cana and was…suitably intoxicated for his troubles. Arriving, he takes one look at the bar and knows the blond had seriously overdone it. This had all the makings of a bad situation all the way around. Honestly, Laxus could get himself into trouble without trying too hard. He walks slowly towards the male worrying that even in his inebriated state that the other might be able to do serious damage with his magic. "Laxus," he says quietly, "I think you have had way too much to drink. Let's go home."
Blearily, the blond looks up at him. "'M not drunk," he slurs.
Freed crosses his arms. "Oh, really? Well from where I'm standing you ARE. Now come on and let's go before you make a fool of yourself."
"Why would I go home with some girl I just met?"
Freed ignores the choked laughter he hears from the others as his face colors in embarrassment and annoyance. "Laxus Dreyar, now I know you are drunk because you know full well that I am NOT female!"
"You're certainly not a guy with hips like that! "
Freed was going to kill him and Cana when they sobered up for this. "I assure you that I am male…so now that you've embarrassed the hell out of me… Can we go back to the apartment before you offend someone else's sensibilities?"
If the other disagreed, Freed was not against using force and/or his runes to make the blond comply. He was not in the mood for this and he certainly did NOT need to listen to the snickering his Guild Mates were doing while he was trying to get the other OUT of the Hall. Honestly, what had his Thunder God been THINKING?! Well, he was pretty sure he'd known it was something along the lines of Cana challenging his pride. "I already told ya that 'M NOT drunk!"
Of course he wanted to be stubborn about this. "Very well," Freed says, "We'll do this the hard way then, Laxus, and I'm going to hope that you wake up and don't remember a damn thing about this." Or he was probably going to end up as a lightning rod. Oh yes, he was definitely having words with Cana about how she was NEVER to challenge his Thunder God again or the next set of runes she got stuck in would be BEYOND cruel and unusual. Summoning up his courage, he reaches out and snags the blond's wrist before using the others state to jerk him off the stool as he shoves up runes inhibiting lightning-type magic.
"The HELL are you doing?!"
"Taking you home like I said," Freed retorts forcing the other towards the door which is NOT easy when the other digs his heels in. The green-haired male is SURE they make a hell of a sight like this and there was only so much of Laxus' drunken temperament that Freed wanted to contend with. "I swear, Laxus, if you keep being stubborn you are NOT going to like me," he warns clearly annoyed with the male's completely unhelpful, stubborn actions.
"I don't know WHO you think you are, missy…"
"I'm NOT a GIRL, Laxus!" he snaps harshly, "And if you call me one AGAIN I'm going to rune you into lingerie!" It was a completely empty threat as he was sure that Laxus WOULD kill him. However, it's enough to force the other to let him tug him into the cool night air and Freed hopes that it'll sober him up somewhat before they get to the apartment.
Honestly, being mistaken for a girl was embarrassing. He'd be sure to tell Laxus when he was coherent enough to understand that he was NOT going to do it again or there would be some awful consequences. Dragging the blond to the apartment was a test in retaining his patience and he's glad to be able to shove the other into the building and shut the door. "You are the most stubborn, ridiculous…" He isn't even allowed a chance to finish before he ends up suddenly shoved against the closed door with the blonde's mouth against his. The startled gasp grants the other the ability to fully claim his mouth and he definitely doesn't waste the opportunity and Freed swears that the other is doing a pretty good job of stealing his soul along with his breath as his senses reel.
However, he gets a hold of himself before getting TOO lost in the kiss and presses the other back. "You, Laxus, are drunk and I'm not about to have you freak out on me," he states firmly willing the heat filling him to abate because really this was NOT a good idea no matter HOW much he wanted it. Laxus was drunk enough to mistake him for a girl which definitely meant that things would go seriously south if he recalled his definite lapse of common sense. As tempted as Freed was to let him have his way, he was pretty sure it would DEFINITELY end badly.
When the other persists, Freed inwardly feels bad about his next move which is to stick him in runes that would wear off ONLY when he finally fell asleep before making an abrupt exit of the apartment ignoring the others cursing at him. The cool night air against his own hot skin definitely helps as he closes his eyes. That…had been way too damn close. He was SOO tempted to just let him do it if to know what it would be like once. However, that is followed by the knowledge that it would be a VERY good way to fuck things up irreparably so he forces himself to his own residence. Hopefully, the other wouldn't remember and would only find it odd that he'd ended up asleep in the foyer of the apartment.
Unfortunately, he 's pretty sure that even if he doesn't then one of their guild mates will be only too happy to explain what he'd done and the commentary that had led up to Freed hauling him out of the Guild Hall. That would probably be enough to embarrass the other from EVER taking up a contest with Cana. That would be for the best, in his opinion. At least it wouldn't be as bad as it would be if he woke and recalled having sex with Freed. A soft sigh escapes the rune mage as he enters His apartment and heads to the couch before slumping onto it. That had been way too close. WAY too close. Rubbing his face, Freed wonders just how the next day would go and dreading it with everything he had in him. 'Well, look at it this way,' he thinks, 'At least you didn't give him a reason to fling his magic at YOU.' Part of him was pretty sure that the other really didn't need a reason to actually do that. He was pretty sure that the next day was going to be all sorts of awkward because he was sure his own guild mate's weren't going to let him live down being called a girl by Laxus. 'I probably should just stay home tomorrow and save myself the stress,' he thinks as he sprawls out on the couch. It would just be easier that way.
However, it's not long before he feels his runes vanish and finds himself returning out of habit to the others residence and staring at the now passed out blond before giving in and getting him to his bedroom where he'd remove his jacket and boots before trying to make him comfortable. However, the adage about no good deed going unpunished is proven as he would find himself suddenly jerked to the other who, despite being asleep had a VERY strong grip. All Freed's frazzled mind could come up with is, 'Oh for the love of…Fuck…' This was NOT going to be fun to explain. He manages to only get his boots off as the other was NOT rescinding his hold on him and Freed surrenders himself to spend his night being nearly cuddled while every possible bad scenario plays in his head.
Honestly, he should have just left him to his own devices. Evergreen and Bixlow had no problem with just letting him be stupid all on his own. Freed just had never been able to keep from looking after him…and it was something he was highly regretting. Deciding to hell with it, he makes himself comfortable against the other and figures that whatever was coming would be regardless so he might as well enjoy being held like he was. As his eyes close, he finds himself thinking that he really was going to kill Cana if he lived through this mess…and probably the blond TOO just for being egotistical enough to take her up on the damn contest.
