The rest of the week went by fast with Laxus waiting on Freed at the end of the road, where Freed insists on applying more bandages to Laxus back before taking his seat behind the blonde, and heading off to school. The three motorcycles pulling up together with one more person than their used to be, and his name Freed Justine. They would go to their classes and Freed would struggle to hide the bruises he came to recieve since his uncle had come to live with him and his family.
After class on friday
"Freed are you okay" asked Laxus their group of friends being the last in the locker room, the others looked toward them wondering the exact some thing. Laxus placed his hands on Freed's shoulder, and growled when he heard Freed mutter the one word Laxus never wanted to here him say "OW". "Freed take off your shirt", barked Laxus hardly giving Freed time to take his shirt off by himself by helping him. Freed didn't argue these were his friends they wouldn't say anything.
"What the fuck who did this"? shouted Laxus grabbing Freed's face and tilting it so he could look him in the eyes, after seeing bruises after seeing bruises all over Freed's back and now his chest too. Seeing something on Freed's face Laxus moved his hair away from his face catching a single tear slide from Freed's eye as he looked at the black eye freed was sporting. "M..My uncle he came to live with my family after my first day", mumbled Freed. Laxus pulled Freed into his arms gently hugging him, deciding it would be best if they left to give them some privacy the others filed out the door as quiet as possible with Natsu's naturally boisterous self.
5 minutes later
Freed asked Laxus to stay with him instead of leaving to which Laxus agreed, the others had already left and Freed smiled before saying "Thank you". "Anything for you freed" lets go, arriving at Freed's house Laxus was immediately sent away by Freed's uncle. Before Laxus left the door yelling and and stuff getting knocked over caught his attention, "Freed" growled Laxus as he found away to climb up to a opened window. When he saw Freed running up the stairs and into the room next to the one he was currently looking through hearing the door slam and the lock climbed to the window at Freed's room and saw Freed sitting on his bed his face in his lap as he cried, a new bruise to add to his collection and his shirt ripped exposing his stomach and the hand prints around his neck. Laxus gently knocked on the window startling Freed who looked up to see Laxus hanging on the window sill, jumping to go open the window, Freed nearly tripped. Once in the room Laxus was pulled into a hug by freed and didn't let go as Freed cried into his chest. He knew his neck probably hurt so he pulled Freed back to the bed and, Freed pulled him down so they were laying side by side after Laxus put their shoes beside the bed they both fell asleep. Waking up when it was dark and Freeds arm across Laxus , and Laxus arm under Freed's head like a pillow. knocking on the door brought them to fully wake up, "the closest go to the closest" whispered Freed as he grabbed Laxus shoes and pushed them under his bed. Rubbing his eyes Freed opened the door forgetting to check who it was, as soon as the locked clicked the door was shoved open successfully pushing Freed to the floor.
"Next tim you lock your door its going to be worse" muttered his uncle as he began to beat Freed, Laxus couldn't take it he wanted to help Freed but Freed remembered what happened with Zancrow. He shakily raised his hand toward the closet to make sure Laxus stayed hidden, luckily his uncle didn't catch on, Laxus took out his phone and began to record the incident. When freed was left broken and bloody his uncle left smirking a few minutes later bringing water, wash cloth and a towel. ''Clean up wimp'' he muttered, as freed curled into himself ready to scream. Laxus was fuming he wanted to teach Freed's uncle a lesson you mess with Freed and you mess with me, once the door was once again closed Freed was to afraid to lock it again.
"Come here" Laxus whispered as he exited the closet and picked Freed up depositing him on his bed, before grabbing the bowl of water and helping Freed out of his shirt to wash his wounds once done Laxus began his search to find Freed a shirt "where's your shirts"?.
"Over there second drawer" answered Freed pointing to his dresser, finding what he was looking for Laxus walked back to Freed with a shirt in hand. "Here" Laxus handed Freed a green t shirt, "thanks" winced Freed as laxus put the bowl back where he found it and placing the cover over Freed before he walked to the window. "Please don't leave" muttered Freed.
" I'm just gonna close he window ok".
"Alright" Laxus closed the window and returned to Freed who pulled him back down to lay beside him again, Freed threw his arms around Laxus stomach, as he placed his head on Laxus chest using it as a pillow and letting the steady beat of the others heart lull him to sleep. As Laxus grabbed Freed's hand laying on his stomach and held it while he to wrapped his arms around Freed, soon after he joined Freed in the land of dreams, when the two woke up again Laxus convinced Freed to come spend the night with him for awhile. After agreeing Freed and Laxus packed a bag that would last him a couple at least for a week, "Alright go tell your parents your gonna spend the night with a friend" spoke Laxus in a soothing tone as he kissed Freed's forehead before walking to the window and exiting Freed's room. A few moments later and Freed met Laxus at his motorcycle parked down the street, "When did you move it"? questioned Freed.
"When I tricked your uncle into thinking I left" smiled Laxus .
The drive to Laxus's was long but it also gave Freed time to think before he fell asleep again, considering how long they spent at Freed's house and driving it was noon the next day before they arrived at Laxus house. Pulling into the driveway, Laxus saw two motorcycles and his grandpa's truck, "Whats going on"? he thought. He carefully got out of Freed's bear hug and picked Freed up and carried him to the door sitting is feet down long enough to open said door, Everyone looked stunned to see Laxus carrying Freed into the house and straight down the hall to his room before laying him down and covering him up, turning around he gestured for them to follow him and the could feel the anger radiating off Laxus as he showed them the video of Freed getting beaten by his uncle. Looking up Laxus saw the anger in all their faces and began to explain "I brought him here to get him away from his uncle", Laxus continued to explain what happened in the school locker room and how he ended up in Freed's closet.
Few hours Later!
Everyone had left including Laxus grandpa and Laxus stood in his room shirtless looking for a shirt, having taken a quick shower.
"Laxus"? yawned Freed as he began to rub the sleep from his eye's, "yes Freed"? answered Laxus, making Freed turn his head to follow his voice. Seeing Laxus shirtless hair slightly damp and hanging down on his face woke Freed up fully, "you okay Freed? you've only slept for three hours".
"Would you like to take a bath it might help you relax".
"Sure" answered Freed Figuring Laxus was right, Laxus handed him his bag and one of his own shirts. Seeing Freeds puzzled expression Laxus explained, It will be baggy and won't disturb your bruises as much. "Oh thank you" smiled Freed, Laxus lead Freed to the bathroom before making his way into the kitchen.
At six Laxus made tea for them to drink before going to bed, Freed sat on the couch covered by a thin blanket as he watch the rain outside pour down like tiny little knives stabbing the earth one raindrop after the other, after awhile he began to feel his eyes slowly close the need to sleep taking control. Hearing his name he looked to the kitchen to see Laxus lock the doors and bring him a cup of tea, before sitting his own cup of tea down and grabbing some ointment from a first aid kit Freed didn't even know he had. He slowly pulled Freed's shirt up after receiving a nod from Freed saying it was okay, he gently rubbed the ointment into Freed's bruised skin before speaking " You can have the bed to yourself i'll sleep….
"Can't we share the bed"? Freed interrupted as he put his/Laxus shirt back on.
"Sure we can freed" smiled Laxus as he turned the lights off and grabbed Freeds hand pulling him back to the bedroom, and when Freed laid down Laxus pulled him to his chest and the warmth in the other's embrace quickly allowing them to fall into much needed sleep.
The next morning Makarov decided he would go and check on Freed and Laxus, it was 8:00 and all lights were off but he remembered Laxus had given him a key. After he made it inside Laxus house he closed the door and locked it back, and made his way to Laxus room where he found Laxus and freed on their sides and Freeds back pulled into Laxus chest, while Freeds arm where on top of Laxus arms that were wrapped around him protectively, both smiling in their sleep. Deciding not to disturb them Makarov couldn't help himself he took a picture and left the house locking it and going back home, not noticing a dark colored van parked on the opposite side of the street directly in front off the house beside Laxus's.
2 weeks later!
"Laxus come on get up were going to be late for school" laughed Freed as he tried to wake Laxus up, "come on Freed lets just be late we don't even have first class together". The last two weeks Laxus rarely let Freed out of his sight except for school and working at the garage in town which he talked his boss into letting Freed sit and talk to him as he worked on peoples cars. " come on Laxus whats the point, Rouge and sting will be with me and you will have Natsu and Gray ". Sitting up on his elbow Laxus gave Freed his best puppy dog eyes, "uh fine" gave up Freed he couldn't say know to Laxus when he used those puppy dog eyes on him. Freed hadn't went home since he came to Laxus house two weeks and three days ago. He mostly wore Laxus 's shirts but Laxus had went and bought him so clothes, Freed's parents never even realized Freed was gone that long.
But his uncle did and ever since then he was coming up with ways he could kidnap Freed. "Yes" shouted Laxus as he won and Freed turned out the lights once more, he pulled Freed back down to the bed and laid his head above freed's, he loved the smell of Freeds hair it always smelled like flowers and berries. Laxus could stay like this forever. twenty minutes later Laxus woke up when he thought he heard a noise, feeling Laxus getting up Freed woke up too "Laxus whats wrong" mumbled freed wiping the sleep from his eye's. Apparently he was more tired than he let on but Laxus ignored that, and reached for the door knob when the door was knocked open barley jumping back in time Laxus tripped and hit the floor, quickly helped up by freed who was now wide awake.
"Who are you"? questioned Laxus, the intruder quickly drew his blade which LAxus had expected a knife but this guy had a sword, "what the" Laxus wasn't given time to dodge before his chest was sliced open. He fell back into freed who was behind him, "You can call me Aizen" he laughed/growled. "Laxus" Freed found a shirt and proceeded to hold it to laxus wound, "Freed Justine you are coming with me".
"Like hell he is" Laxus slowly stood up to fight back and found the light and turned it on, "Look at that now I have to take both of you all well can't be helped. "You have seen me", I cannot allow you to remain here blood was all over Laxus,Freed, the floor everywhere and even the walls from Aizen's sword. freed fought back he really did but this Aizen was to strong and he was worried about Laxus. Freed felt something hit him in the back of the head real hard before he saw darkness, the two were quickly blindfolded then placed in the van their hands tied together between them the only difference Aizen didn't see the reason he should knock out Laxus he left him awake and aware of the blood oozing from his chest, and before Laxus fell unconscious from pain and blood loss all he could think was at least freed isn't alone.
When Aizen arrived to his hide out/dungeon actually an old abandoned factory he dragged Laxus and Freed to one of the cells he built especially for this purpose, after dropping them to the ground he untied their then pulled out a phone and contacted his partner also known as Freed's uncle, "I have him but I also have some blonde guy he was with".
"Okay I'm going to do some research I have a feeling we can get some money from the blonde one as well as my ignorant brother, do what you want to the blonde yellow one but don't hurt Freed that much he's week you might kill him, before we get the money".
Hanging up he grabbed a towel and first aid kit and brought it to Laxus and Freed's cell, Freed was awake and holding his hands over laxus chest trying to apply pressure to the wound, when he heard a deep voice say "here" and a towel being tossed to him along with a box. Looking up he saw the man that kidnapped them this guy Aizen.
Please R&R Thank you!
