Hey guys! Sorry for such a late update :( Summer classes are kicking my butt... anyway I was able to whip this out so I hope you all like it! Sorry if it seems kind of short (._.) I had mentioned Freed's biological family just a little bit in a previous chapter and I thought you all might be wondering how Freed's dad could compare to Laxus' dad. Well here is just a little snippet while the rest of the chapter is just fun! Also, just remember that I mentioned who the couple pairs already were in the first few chapters of the story ^^ Enjoy!
It had been two months and whenever they went on jobs or around town, Laxus seemed to always introduce Freed as his fiancé making said man either blush or giggle at people's reactions. Of course Freed possessively said that to several people while they were shopping once, since Laxus was being looked at by blood crazed Laxus fans.
In the course of the two months, Lucy had a mark on her neck from Natsu, which everyone gave them shit about, but were so excited for the two. Especially Happy since Natsu had confided in him about liking Lucy for a long time.
Laxus however, knew that their friends were planning on giving them separate bachelor parties a few days before their wedding day, and that day was today.
Freed was peacefully sleeping away trying to get a little more warmth from Laxus' side of the bed. He mentioned going to the bathroom but Freed passed out again before he finished the sentence. Freed was unconsciously snuggling Laxus' pillow to his face and chest, happily sleeping away the day.
Laxus was downstairs eating breakfast while several people were trying not to make a loud commotion, which would inevitably wake up Freed and ruin the surprise they had for him. Ever, Erza, Mira, Juvia, Levy and Lucy were going to take Freed out to get his outfit for the wedding and then have a little bachelor party for him while Bickslow, Elfman, Natsu, Gray and Gajeel were taking Laxus out to make sure everything was ready for the wedding and then have a party for him. They secretly knew that Makarov also had a surprise for his grandson today but kept it a secret from the blonde; they didn't know what it was though. The couple had two more days before they were getting married so the Fairy Tail members thought it was best to keep them apart for the day until the big Day.
"Come on I want to surprise him already!" Ever whispered excitedly lifting up a blindfold making Laxus roll his eyes.
"Whatever" Laxus put his bowl in the sink while the girls ran upstairs. They tried to hold in their giggles and their sounds of 'awe' of Freed snuggled up to Laxus' pillow. Mira took a quick picture of Freed, definitely saving that picture for later. Erza and Lucy silently put the blindfold around Freed making sure not to wake up the man. Once they were done they were having a lot of difficulty holding in their giggles.
"Okay" Mira whispered.
"One, two, THREE!"
Ever, Erza, Mira, Juvia, Levy and Lucy screamed loudly to scare Freed, causing the man to sit straight up before flailing off the bed knocking the night stand over before landing on his butt, hitting his back against the wall. Freed's breathing went shallow feeling himself shaking. He couldn't see, he couldn't feel Laxus near him, he couldn't breathe. His heart was pounding in his ears and he couldn't hear. His unconscious automatically went to when he was a child and he had disobeyed his Father's rules and always ended up in the dark because of it.
Freed shakily reached his hand out hoping his sword or something was nearby. He whimpered quietly before drawing a rune from memory for light. Except it didn't work. Why didn't it work!? Freed kept hearing mumbling or something but his heart was beating so hard against his chest he only drew the runes faster for light.
"Freed stop!"
"What's wrong!?"
"Why isn't he listening!?"
"Is he having a nightmare?"
"I can't see anything from this light!"
The girls suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from the guys that were in the kitchen before they gave several grunts and yells from being blinded from the light once entering the room.
"Damnit! What's going on!" Gajeel yelled before Laxus shut his eyes tightly as he made his way into the room using his sense of smell to find Freed. He finally found the man who flinched hard when Laxus grabbed his hands quickly. Everyone gave a sigh of relief with light spots flashing in their eyes still. Laxus opened his eyes seeing a quivering Freed before sitting cross-legged in front of his greenette. He was seriously concerned by how much the man was shaking before removing the blindfold gently. Freed gave a small grunt before blinking his eyes open carefully, seeing Laxus in front of him.
"You alright love?" Laxus whispered, running his nose along Freed's neck to where the mark was. He could still smell a little fear and anxiety but other than that Freed was okay.
"Were you dreaming?" Laxus asked curiously gently cradling Freed's cheeks in his hands. Freed looked up nervously at Laxus seeing some of his friends still rubbing their eyes to get rid of the spotting. Freed looked down ashamed, only to have Laxus duck his head under Freed's, kissing him softly.
"It's okay. They're tough. But we are talking about this later. They are taking you shopping and to a small party" Laxus whispered, kissing Freed again who was very confused before being dragged out of the room by Erza and Ever; Mira, Juvia, Levy and Lucy not far behind them.
"Well that went differently than I expected with the light or whatever" Bickslow crossed his arms in confusion.
"Light"
"Light"
"Well whatever let's get to the party!" Natsu yelled throwing small fireballs at Bickslow's tiki's making Bickslow chase him around the room.
"This day is going to get weird, isn't it?" Laxus sighed, dropping his shoulders before being shoved out the door by Elfman, Gray, and Gajeel who had evil smiles on their faces.
Freed tried not to think about this morning, repeatedly apologizing to the women who were sitting at a fancy restaurant with him after their shopping for the day. They only giggled at him saying that they were happy Freed would be a handful for Laxus.
Freed only rolled his eyes at that comment before shivering at the shopping he had to endure earlier. Now Freed could do shopping, but it was usually quick, precise, and definitely involved a list. Plus he was always on track with keeping his money in order and his team's since they would have ran out of food with Ever's incessant spending, Bickslow's gadgets for his tiki's, and Laxus' many shirts and constant repairs for his headphones. Of course when they did run out of money, not wanting to go to the Master, they asked Freed to look over their money for them knowing he would always say 'no' if they asked him for money for things they wanted.
Freed was told that Laxus was going with a traditional style wedding knowing that Freed loved the old romantic stories he read of women being married in extravagant kimonos under cherry blossoms.
However some of the kimonos that Freed was practically forced to try on were just way too much and way out of anyone's price range. He did eventually find one that he loved and that the others could agree on too. Although it was hard to get them to agree on anything he wore, without having to try on ten more kimonos if there was just one thing wrong with the one he was previously wearing.
Now they were all at a restaurant for different food tastings, wine tastings, and then a hot bathing house that was connected to restaurant after VIP guests enjoyed their tastings. It was utterly blissful to do after the almost disastrous kimono trying.
"Now, we get to cause mayhem!" Mira and Erza said with evil glints in their eyes and warm water splashed around the pool.
"Just for an hour though!" Lucy huffed before giggling along with Levy.
"We must make sure the groom doesn't get too damaged before his wedding day!" Ever and Juvia also had an evil glint in their eyes making Freed sweat drop; it was a unisex bathhouse in case you were wondering.
Well mayhem was right. They went to a gambling house before a fight broke out. Especially when a drunk hit on Freed. Well actually several drunks hit on Freed, literally tugging at his clothes, before fists started swinging. Of course Sabertooth was visiting so Yukino, Minerva, and Rogue joined in the fight. Then some bandits, who were laying low since they were going to rob the casino, thought they were found out and started fighting with the group. It was utter chaos with walls practically falling down the casino.
On the other side of town, Laxus made sure everything was perfect within the church before he was dragged off to his bachelor party. They of course were over run by fangirls before running for their lives from that kind of a mob. Once hiding they ended up in a bar way on the outskirts of town with a rough group of people drinking. So Natsu, Gajeel, and Gray started challenging them to fights before a brawl broke out. Bickslow and Elfman were trying the beer hearing they served the best off tap beers in Fiore. Laxus would have half heartedly tried ending the fight his team mates were trying to start if Sting, Orga and Rufus hadn't joined the commotion. So naturally Laxus and Orga were battling with each other's lightning skills while drinking away the night while their team members were in their own chaos. Good thing they were on the edge of town.
Three Hours Later (Around One in the Morning)
"It took you moron's long enough to get them!" Makarov yelled as a slightly drunk Laxus, Bickslow, Natsu, Gajeel, Gray, Elfman, Sting, Orga, and Rufus were thrown into his office by members of Fairy Tail who were asked to come save some civilians from their chaos.
"H~Hey Gramps!" Laxus said too happily making Makarov sigh.
"And here I thought there wouldn't be trouble since you guys were planning a party, NOT a fight! Destruction of property, disturbing the peace, unnecessary force! Do you see this! I have a head ache with so many words!" Makarov flustered as he waved his arms up and down.
"Gramps!" Natsu and Gray yelled before tackling the old man and tugging on his hair and mustache thinking his facial hair was absolutely hilarious.
"Damn it!" Makarov growled swatting with giant hands at the two idiots in front of him before Sting, Ogra, Rufus, Laxus and Bickslow burst out laughing.
"Man! I forgot my shirt" Elfman slurred, "so not a man"
"MAN!" All the guys yelled out happily before tackling each other.
"120 mm black-"
"Lightning Dragon's-"
"Don't you idiots fight in here damn it! We just rebuilt the guild!" Makarov yelled horrified.
"Fire Dragon's-"
"Ice-make-"
"Light Dragon's-"
"Master it wasn't our fault!" Mira whined, walking through the door before the girls, Freed and Rogue landed in a pile; the two men underneath them. All of them had been drinking a lot.
"Lucy!" Natsu yelled before attacking the blonde and having them both land into a nearby wall.
"How!?" Master yelled, waving a sheet of paper at the white haired mage, "the casino is a great tourist attraction and now it's in shambles!"
"Hi Rogue!" Sting chuckled before crawling belly down to be nose to nose with his mate who was currently being suffocated beneath the several bodies on top of him.
"Sting" Rogue pouted making Sting kiss him before tugging the black haired mage from the pile making the other ladies roll around the room. Each of them had a mark on their necks too which Porlyusica was noted about since they received theirs a month or so after Laxus and Freed got their marks.
"Oh ho is Sabertooth's Master going to attack Rogue-kun again?" Minerva giggled with Orga and Rufus smiling happily. Rogue blushed to the roots of his hair while Sting spluttered before tackling down the woman and his other teammates with a playful roar.
"Would it be alright if I walked Erza home Master-" Jellal walked into the room before freezing. Jellal rubbed his head nervously as several drunk people and people rolling on the floor were looking at him curiously.
"Uh, lets go Erza?" Jellal said softly, smiling at the red head who blushed happily.
"OOOH!" Everyone yelled making Jellal blush up to his hair.
"It's likes he just asked her father if it was okay to date her!
"Erza and Jellal, sitting in the Rainbow Sakura tree, hugging, kissing, making-"
"Idiots!" Jellal yelled at Gray, Natsu, and Gajeel who were singing on the floor at him before being tackled by the blue haired mage.
"Master there are very good reasons for the mishap at the casino!" Erza protested before getting distracted by a pastry on the Master's desk. Her hand was slapped away immediately making her pout.
"There are no good reason's for almost fully destroying a tourist attraction with civilians inside!" Makarov yelled, getting back to the discussion at hand.
"But Master there were bandits that were planning on robbing the casino!" Juvia protested before hugging Gray unconsciously who was unaware of being in his underwear at this point.
"If we weren't there the town would be out hundreds of thousands of Jewels, maybe even millions!" Ever protested before tackling down Elfman and Bickslow who were getting drowsy; Bickslow's tikis bouncing off their heads.
"I suppose that is a somewhat good reason, but not that good a reason for almost destroying the casino" Makarov grumbled before Yukino and Levy started tugging on his mustache wondering if it was real.
"Well that and there were these guys that were trying to get in Freed's pants! They practically tore his clothes off!" Lucy said angrily making the group get into an uproar that shook the building.
"That is unacceptable! Screw the casino, who were these people!?" The Master yelled raising his fist angrily into the air. Freed of course was innocently eating the pastry on the Master's desk before realizing his name was said.
"Freed!" Laxus roared, pulling the greenette into his chest that would have likely crushed him to death if Freed wasn't thinking on his feet at the moment and gently started kissing his blonde everywhere making Laxus calm down and chuckle happily; forgetting instantly what the commotion was about.
"Mate" Freed chuckled pushing his nose against Laxus' making said man almost purr happily.
"Ugh, I thought Sting and Rogue were bad!" Orga yelled before everyone started laughing.
"Well everyone go to bed! If I so much as see you out on the street by 2:00 AM you will all be punished! Vamoose!"
I'll tell you tomorrow grandson Makarov thought to himself before anime tears ran down his face realizing his innocent pastry was still eaten.
All of the guild members groaned and mumbled before parting along the street, saying their good nights. Of course several of them went in pairs.
Freed helped an almost completely drunk Laxus to their bedroom before plopping said blonde onto the bed; he was the least drunk of the two.
Freed was about to get the man a cold glass of water and maybe some crackers so he wouldn't have that bad of a hang over tomorrow. Before he could move though, strong arms encircled his waist and his back hit a hard chest.
Freed chuckled at Laxus' behavior who only grumbled and snuggled his face against Freed's neck.
"You need water and a little food Laxus, otherwise you'll be in pain tomorrow" Freed whispered as Laxus' arms went lax, letting Freed get to the kitchen and bring back some water and some crackers. Laxus practically gulped the entire water and half a sleeve a crackers before snapping Freed's body back against his.
"Mine" Laxus growled making Freed smile.
"Yours" Freed turned in Laxus' arms so he could see the blonde who looked like he was going to pass out any second.
"Still… going to talk about… nightmare" Laxus all but grumbled before passing out and snoring loudly. Freed groaned, his head landing on the blonde's chest hoping Laxus would forget about it. Freed knew he was most certainly not going to dredge up his past a day and a half before their wedding. That was not going to happen. He didn't want to keep his father or his biological family a secret from the blonde, but he couldn't dive into those memories again; they were just too painful. Maybe one day, although he really doubted he'd ever convince himself to tell Laxus.
"Please forget it my love. It hurts to talk about" Freed whispered, kissing the blonde gently before falling asleep against his human radiator.
