I am truly sorry it took me so long to update this story.
Laxus awoke from what he thought was a bizarre nightmare his body being torn apart from the seams, his head on fire and his vision fading fast though through this blurry haze he scanned his surroundings. Unable to remember how he came to be in his current predicament, Laxus felt blood still seeping from his worn body albeit a little slower than before, chains decorated his wrists holding his weakened body up while more chains held his ankles in place pulling him down continuously ripping his wound further. Memories coming back to him Laxus looked up one eye swollen shut and covered in blood, not trusting his vision he called out "Freed... Freed" louder than he had intended his own voice making his ears ring causing him to groan in pain . Imagining the worst he nearly burst into tears jumping when he finally heard that weak tender voice of his Freed. "Laxus are you a..awake I am so sorry", Freed had been crying scared that the one person in his life that ever showed that they loved him more than anything, would die and it would be his fault his uncle was right he should just die he wasnt worth loving. Knowing where Freeds mind was going Laxus broke his train of thought.
"Freed this is not your fault none of this is I wouldn't have wanted it any other way, you of all people do not deserve this. Ever since that first day I saw you my world changed in an instant it was no longer just me... it was us, I never cared about anyone but my friends and grandpa a..and my mother but that was along time ago".
"You showed me a new kind of Love and how it felt to be loved by someone else I'd give my Life if it meant you could live another day"."Freed I promise you we will get out of this ", Laxus knew there was a good chance he wasn't gonna make it .He'd lost too much blood, he couldn't see as well as he'd like and it was getting harder to breathe, the air just refusing to reach his lungs, deciding best not to tell Freed he coughed Knowing full well the struggle it put his body through "I refuse to die on Freed like this".
Aizen walked in with a tray of tools "Look whose awake" he beamed, pure evil radiating off him in waves pouring over his two prisoners. Mentally preparing himself for what he knew was coming, he pushed the pain as far back in his mind as he possibly could. Laxus listened as Freed's pleading fell on deaf ears, "Please you don't have to do this please" Freed wracked his brain for anything that'd save Laxus from this mans torture " if you do this you won't get paid". Not able to bare the sadness laced in freed's voice any longer Laxus spoke up " Freed me and you both know my father, is not gonna pay to get me back I am truly sorry you have to watch this". He felt the pain as the knife entered his chest, hitting his left lung he coughed sending blood spewing up his throat and onto the ground below him. As Aizen then removed the knife to slice it through the skin on his bicep leaving a deep gash deeper, than the one on his chest blood poured profusely from his newly acquired wounds.
Turning to Freed Azien spoke " Make no mistake my young green haired friend money is of no importance to me i'd just assume kill you both were you stand however, I owe your uncle but even that lifeline is very very thin" by the end of his sentence his face was so close to Freed's, Freed could feel the the venom as it dripped from every word off his tongue. Before completely leaving the room Aizen turned around staring straight at Laxus his head cocked to the side with a sinister smile. Raising his finger to point at Laxus he spoke, " I now know who he is his destiny is already written , and who who knows maybe he'll scream like his mother when she was begging for her precious baby boys life in exchange for her own , you see Laxus that day, it was supposed to be you that was to be killed". " Your father stole from my employers so I was hired to take his most important possession from him, Your mother bargained for your life and now fate has given you the chance to do the same. Purely out of random chance it would be my luck that i've been given the opportunity to carry out both your departures from this world I promise you, that you will see your mother again".
Freed heard as Laxus breathing became even more labored, he watched as tears streamed down Laxus's cheeks. Afraid his voice would betray him he hugged Laxus, not caring as his lovers blood began to soak into his own clothes just wanting to be there to comfort the other. Moments later Freed found the courage to speak up, in the time he had known Laxus he knew nothing of his mother deciding it was to touchy of a subject. "Laxus what was he talking about" questioned Freed.
Catching his breath Laxus began to talk surprising Freed who honestly didn't think he was going to get an answer from the injured blonde "I..I was ten and me and my mom had went to the the uh store and this guy" Laxus voice broke into a million tiny pieces as he found words hard to form his brain not processing well enough to allow him to tell his story. " Its okay Laxus you don't have to tell me I know she meant a lot to you". Freed wrapped his arms around Laxus strung up body again this time not letting go, he felt Laxus frame begin to shake against his restraints.
He could feel the heat emanating from Laxus his fever had risen again and they were no closer to getting out.
