So sorry about the wait
I have actually had this done for months and just forgot about it
Chapter 4 is also done but I will up load it when I am done with chapter 5
Freed Justine had settled down into his new home, he believed he could now call it that due to him being a resident there for three weeks. His room had become quite his own, with a desk covered in his work and everything now set in order including a book shelf; this just happened to contain a book on Laxus work, his set of cologne, most were from all around the world with cultured and spiced scents and a new one he had been wearing a lot recently; a gift from Evergreen and Bickslow for completing his first week here without going insane, and a plant now in the corner which A was forever watering for him as he always forgot to, also given by Evergreen.
A routine was also now put in place for him to wake up shower and dress and go down for breakfast which was finely prepared by A and if he woke up early enough he would also help with the cooking. The others would descend down to breakfast, always padding down the stairs always in a zombie state and half asleep, whining for caffeine and breakfast and always in their pyjamas. Laxus would be the last and he would be fully dressed and awake when he walked in; later Freed found out that he was always doing paperwork that just needed finishing. They would help A set the table before eating and getting to work.
Once dressed Evergreen would bring down breakfast for the patients and Freed and Laxus would get to work on files and paper work. After they had eaten the patients would be taken in one by one for their sessions; the length of the session depend on how sever their case was. There would be three or two sessions every day and A would be there to assist all of them and leave after every one.
Bickslow was always hard at work at his station, his unusual eyes fixed on to the screens of his security footage or helping Evergreen escort the more rowdy patients from the sessions to their rooms.
Evergreen was more relaxed at work than most others; she would deliver food and help any patients when they buzzed for her like a good nurse but when she was at her reception desk the woman did little more than flick through a magazine.
With that said she was not the worst employee, that would be Z; she was a good and talented surgeon but she got bored easily and often went into A's morgue to operate on the dead and play around with amputated body parts, much to A's anger. The blue hared woman also had a dreadful tendency to leave in the middle of surgery because she was bored, leaving some poor man bleeding out in the middle of an operation.
A was her complete opposite, the woman was hard working and determined and very skilled and yet Freed could not quite gel to her, probably due to her child like nature.
After work and after Bickslow had locked the doors to the patients they would go to the living room, depending on the night of the week someone would get control over the TV whether it would be Laxus's music shows and bad detective movies, Bickslow's racing and wrestling shows mixed in with his over the top actions movies, Evergreen's black and white romances, reality TV rubbish and her celebrity shows, Z's horror flicks that had A screaming and hiding in Bickslow or Laxus and A's anime shows, cartoons and comedy shows that had all six of them yelling at the TV and going into shipping wars at breakfast the next morning.
Freed would now have them groaning each Saturday with his own fencing programs and any sort of documentary, this would normally cause Bickslow to sleep, Evergreen to paint her nails while Laxus, A and Z to play a game of cards.
On the Sunday it was A's rule that the TV was turned off and they would all do something like call in a night guard and go out for a meal or stay in a play board games usually resulting in Evergreen being bad and throwing the game if she were losing, sometimes they would all do their own thing with Laxus writing some music, A working on her novel, Evergreen tending some plants and so on.
Freed had to admit the best night was the Friday that had passed last, the fire was on and some of Laxus's classical music was playing. Evergreen was crossed legged to the glass coffee table potting some Chrysanthemum's in patterned china pots for Flare and Minerva as she said they improved air quality and it couldn't be good for the ladies skin to be cooped up down there.
The small ginger undertaker was perched lightly on Bickslow's lap right by the fire, the orange flickers of light dancing on her fairy face and reflecting of her large wide glasses as she read aloud the words from the book to the room. Each word she spoke from her thin petal lips was soft and gentle, matching the tempo of the music. Bickslow was following the words over her shoulder as she read, his hands laid into the carpet and letting the girl's body rise and fall with his chest.
Z was reading a new manga that Meredy had sent her; she sat still on the smaller sofa her body slumped and sprawled across it as she occasionally showed a picture or gave an odd spoiler to A.
This left Laxus and Freed to sit together on the other sofa with a blanket covering them both. Laxus had his eyes shut and was leaning his head back just listening to the music; Freed himself was writing away in a notepad but had stopped a while ago to simply look at the man.
Laxus wasn't very mean or scary like everyone in the Fairy-Tail headquarters had made him out to be, then again whenever he saw the man from afar he was always scowling and glaring. With that said, whenever he was in the presence of the five people around him he was so laid back and honestly quite hands on. With Bickslow he would give him small hugs now and then and high fives as they passed each other.
And of course there was 'his girls' as he called them, Z or 'pup', as he would sometimes call her would often demand piggy backs and the two would sit extremely close with the sides of their body's leaning together as they watched one of her horrors, both of them getting swept up in the action, when tired Z would use Laxus's body as pillow and lay around on him for hours. There was Evergreen or 'petal' as he would call her sometimes; she would often be curled up onto his side and laying with her head in his lap.
Laxus and A were the worst, he would often call her 'kitten' though Freed did not know why, they would always be hugging, he would ruffle her hair, in fact he had a love of the orange hair as he would brush it for her and run his hands through it.
But even with knowing Laxus a few weeks Laxus was just as affectionate with Freed, pats on the shoulder, and letting the smaller man lay on him as he did that Friday. Still Laxus treated him slightly differently to the others, one day as Freed handed papers over Laxus grabbed his hand and pined it to the desk before grinning like a wolf up at him, Freed had just sighed "Laxus-san, please let me go, I have work to do"
He had just tightened his grip and stood upwards so he was leaning over the desk toward his him, his face inches from his own "I thought I asked you to call me master?"
Freed rolled his eyes "Very funny sir, but I need to get on" he tried to pull free but Laxus would not let him.
Instead Laxus lent in further and placed his foreheads to Freed "I mean it Freed, its master from now on" he let go of his hand but didn't pull away. Freed took a step and frowned before going back to his desk.
Freed sighed, Laxus had always been a school girl crush, someone he admired from a distance but never got close too. But his feelings were quickly growing. Freed knew he should tell Laxus to stop and to place some distance between them before Freed slipped up, but he couldn't help but think as he laid next to him, his own ivory skin looked wonderful laid next to the other man's golden complexion.
Besides Laxus was far less restrained when it came to Freed, the man's hand would linger and unlike the others Laxus would run the back of his hand down his cheek, it made Freed's breathing hitch and his body freeze up.
The next morning was a Sunday and the late November weather howled at his window and froze the air within his room. It was frightfully cold and A still hadn't remembered how to turn his radiator on, so begrudgingly Freed pulled himself out of his bed and into the shower.
He knew the option to just not get ready yet and stay in his pyjamas for breakfast always stood but he couldn't quite bring himself to, so as normal he pulled on an ironed shirt, pressed dress trousers, an expensive waist coat and black polished dress shoes. He took care as he ran down the stairs and made sure to land softly so he wouldn't wake Cobra and walked in to the kitchen with much more confidence than he did on his first day. Of Course A was there already cooking but Freed was the second up that day and decided to help.
With a small tap on the shoulder A dropped her wooden spoon and gasped "Oh sorry Freed you startled me" she held her hand over the heart and took a deep breath before giving him her early morning smile.
Apologising Freed gave a low bow and looked over at the stove "What is it this morning?" whilst asking he pulled an apron out of one off the draws and secured it twice around his waist.
A stirred something in a pan and opened up a pot making the steam rise up and hit the back of her glasses "It's a traditional Japanese breakfast, with steamed rice, miso soup, grilled fish, tamagoyaki which is rolled omelette, tsukemono pickles, nori; which is dried seaweed and natto" she pulled her glasses off and whipped the steam off the lenses.
He smiled at her and picked up a knife "What can I do to help?" the woman was not used to having people up and ready to help her so early, but Freed had noticed that she hardly ever stopped moving or working.
One by one the other staff trickled in and helped lay the table, as usual Laxus was the last but he was fully dressed, he hugged A with one arm and petted her head causing Freed to feel a twinge of jealousy.
As normal Laxus sat in between Freed himself and A "Wow A this is so good" he complemented her eagerly as he helped himself to seconds.
Bickslow nodded eagerly "I think you have out done yourself" he spoke in between scoffing his mouth and wolfing down as much food as possible, Freed wondered if he and Z were in a race to see who could eat more food.
The pale girl giggled sweetly and leant forward to help pile some food onto his plate "Thank you Laxus, but It wasn't all me today" she sat back down and squeezed Freed's shoulders "It seems our newest employee is quite the cook" she pushed her glasses up and took a small bite of her food ignoring the embarrassment she had caused the green haired man.
Freed now sat with his face flushed and head bowed trying to calm down his nerves, Bickslow pushed his bowl away and frowned "I just realised that maybe some of this food isn't tasting as good as the others" Evergreen huffed and hit him round the head yelling at him how it was just as good as A's food.
Laxus nodded and smiled at Freed "I could quite happily live off this Freed if you cooked for me everyday" he smirked suggestively.
However it seemed that Freed was unable to take the hint and pushed some of the vegetables in his soup around with his chop sticks "Thanks but I'm not nearly as good as A yet"
Laxus sighed and Bickslow snorted "Wow real subtle Laxus" Laxus flipped him off in retort causing A to scold him for swearing at the dinner table.
A tapped her chin and smiled "Hey Ever, you come from France, correct?" the woman nodded "Then I think I'll make a dish every day this week to represent someone's background, so French for Evergreen, maybe some croissants and fresh fruit and even some fresh cheeses and hams, and Bickslow your part Italian so tell me what you like and Laxus you have English roots so that's easy enough, what about you Freed?"
Freed smiled "My family has a lot of Japanese roots so this is fine for me" he paused and frowned "What about you and Z, were do your family's come from?"
There was a short pause; Freed couldn't help think he had said something wrong but before anyone could answer him Bickslow pinched Evergreens waist making her get up and scream before the two were chasing each other round the kitchen, A got up to try and stop the fight and Z and Laxus seized the opportunity to grab as much food as everyone else was in chaos.
Still Freed couldn't help but feel like they had just dodged a question.
A stopped trying to stop them and held Laxus's gaze with her striking eyes "I want a snake" the table went quiet and Laxus coughed whilst pounding his chest with his fist.
The well build man blinked thrice and gave her a confused smiled "You want what my kitten?" he stuttered in confusion using his nickname for her.
Unfortunately the girl didn't pick up on his daze "No not a kitten Laxus, I want a snake" she pouted in a huff like a child who wasn't getting her own way.
Laxus rose his thick eyebrows at the girl and sighed "Look A there are many reasons why you can't have a pet" he leaned back in his chair and rubbed his for head "For one we live a much a mental institution"
But A just growled and sat back down in a huff, but that wasn't the end of it, Z then stood up and slammed her hands on the table "If A gets a snake I want a dog!" she grinned and laughed at Laxus "I will call him Sparky in your honour" she sniggered looking at the lightning bolt.
Bickslow snorted and held up his hand "I want a rat" he looked at his favourite victim "I shall lay him in Ever's bed" he ignored Evergreen's cry of don't you dare "And his name will be thunder to go with Z's lightning theme"
A piped "I want my snake to be called bolt"
With a huff Evergreen added into the conservation "I want a bunny, I shall call her Sama as in Laxus-sama"
Finally giving in Laxus raised his voice "Fine but I'm getting a cat and I'll call him 'fuck you all' and this is coming out of your pay checks" he slumped back down in his seat
A frowned "Fine but I'm calling him lucky for short"
Shaking her head Evergreen laughed "That's silly Laxus; you love us too much to take it out of our pay checks" she turned to the green haired man "What about you Freed?" she questioned with a smirk.
"A bird" he asked more than stated
Laxus pulled Freed close "I will only buy him if you start to call me master"
Freed sighed and pulled away "Please don't put your face to mine so early in the morning" he pushed the face away from his own and grasped at his shirt trying to calm his heart beet, hopefully no one would notice how red his face was.
A giggled cutely and kissed Laxus on the cheek "As your in such a giving mood today would you like to do the dishes for me?" another thing that Freed had noticed that A had the brute of the man wrapped around her finger.
A then got up and walked out of the room. Freed frowned; she had hardly touched her food, in fact Freed had only seen her eat a mouthful, not that there was much left after Z and Bickslow had inhaled most of it. The rest slowly got up and left as well and Laxus went over to the sink.
Finding that there was nothing else for him to do the green haired man also got up, but before he could reach the door Laxus spoke to him "It is visiting day to day, you can come along and watch or supervise if you want but Bickslow and Ever should have it under control, but I need you to sort out some things in the file room at some point" Laxus craned his head to meet his blue eyes "That okay?" he asked as he rubbed a dish with a blue cloth.
Freed smiled and nodded "It sounds good mast-" Freed caught himself on his words and quickly rushed to correct it "I mean Laxus-sama"
But that hadn't registered in the blonde man's mind "You just called me master" a perverse smirk light up his face.
Freed could help but think that when Laxus smirked like that he looked like a kid with an evil prank but at the same time it was endearing, Freed noted that Laxus didn't give off huge smiles or grins and his sense of humour was more laid back and dry than the others but whenever his emotions were showing through they lit his hole face up.
With a scoff Freed shook his head "Sorry Laxus-sama you are imagining things" his eyes drew to the clock before leaving the room swiftly not wanting to get to deep into the conversation.
Freed took off down the hall way and saw Evergreen flicking through a magazine "Slacking off again?" he asked her with his condescending smile.
The woman shrugged and fixed him with her dark eyes "So what? I do my work" she put the magazine down and pulled out some files "Laxus said you're going down to the file room, organize these for me? Thanks!" she threw them at him and then picked up a nail file.
Freed shook his head in disbelief "Really? You do your work, more like force the rest of us to do it for you" he remarked snarky, really how could this woman be working for one of the most greatest men ever and just sit around filing her nails. It was way beyond him.
Evergreen looked up at him with cold eyes and pushed her slim body slowly up from the table "I don't like what your implying Freed, lest clear a couple of things up, I was the third employee here after Laxus himself and A so I am several ranks ahead of you. Two, I am hands-on with the Looney-Toons were as you just document them. Three, those files in your hands are my overtime work, work that I choose to do" she wasn't angry in the way she spoke in fact she was very calm "And finally number four, that cross word you couldn't finish yesterday, number seven down was thunder" she finished coolly
Freed looked at his feet "Sorry I-"
She cut him off "Just because I am a little laid back and I'm not always one hundred percent focused on my work does not mean I'm not dedicated, I am very smart and very capable" she smiled before going back to filing her nails "Now be a dear and put those away from me- thanks!"
Freed hurried away looking embarrassed, he really didn't know how he was going to survive in such a strange place. Freed sighed in relief when he got to the filing room, it was filed with rows of metal cabinets filled with paperwork and documents.
This was something that Freed could not mess up; the green haired man rolled his sleeves up and started to sort out the yellow files, loose paper and documents. The system was easy enough and A had coloured coded and worked on everything for him so it was quick and simple to follow. He put folder after folder in their place and tagged and assorted everything to their place.
Moving here hadn't been easy and Freed was still unsure if he would stay or not, working with Laxus was amazing but he made is heart stop and his body a mess of nerves, every stray touch of Laxus hand made him shiver.
The man lent up against the filing cabinet and pressed his burning cheek agents the metal, Laxus was so flirty with him perhaps he should give it ago; there was no harm in asking him out for a drink. Unless that drink got him drunk and making a huge mistake, and if Laxus refused then it could be hard for him to work here, and then there were the others, Bickslow seemed very straight and he might not be comfortable with gay men, and then there was A and Laxus, he had no idea what their relationship really was.
Oh god what if they had a bad break up, then what?
Freed shook his head and tried to calm his hear beat, this was stupid completely and utterly stupid, he looked at the clock and found it read way gone one, he had been down here for hours no wonder he was going crazy and his head was filling with so many stupid ideas.
Most of the filing was done so Freed stood up and went to stack the last few files so he could store them later. After putting the last few in some stacks Freed looked around to see if there were any other loose files.
At the back of the room Freed spotted one pale-yellow file balancing high up on one of the huge cabinets, he stretched on tip toes to reach it but only succeeded on his fingertips lightly grazing the corner. This time Freed found his body jumping to bring it down only he knocked it off were it was perched and sent it tumbling over his head as the papers flew bout the room.
Cursing and mumbling Freed quickly placed the paper back in the file but stopped on the last sheet, there was the name of what he assumed was in it. In big block and bold letters read 'Project A to Z' Freed frowned, the quiet of the room was defining as his fingers traced the corners of the paper with care, what on earth could be 'A to Z', he had spent the last three weeks looking over the files and documents, why are these so different? He ran his hand through his hair.
A sharp ring sounded from his phone and made Freed jump up into the air and let out a small scream, his heart pounded in surprise as he fumbled with the touch screen "Hello?" he said cursing his voice for being so shaky.
"Freed, it's A, come down to the visiting room some of the patients family's want to meet you"
Freed let out a small gasp of relief though he didn't know why "Okay thank you, I'll be right up" he smiled down the phone and quickly hung up.
He jumped up and threw the file back on top of the cabinet before taking a look at it; unlike the other cabinets this one had locks and key pads on them so there was no access.
Freed frowned in confusion, maybe he should ask Laxus what this was about but his mind ran back to earlier today were he had wrongly accuse Evergreen, he didn't want to repeat that or demand anything.
Without a second thought he got up and left the room.
With shaky legs Freed quickly ran up the stairs and into the main living room were his confusion quickly left at the sight of the room.
In the main lobby were his patients but surrounded by their friends and family. He saw Flare with Lucy both giggling like teenage girls over some magazine, Freed's eyes softened at the red head; she couldn't look more at ease and she looked normal, she must have felt him stare because she looked up and gave him a small wave.
Moving on Freed saw Minerva who he hadn't been that close to in all honestly laughing with two boys one with dark black hair and the bother with blonde, he got close enough for him to hear them call her 'lady' but also to spot two cats on their laps, one red and fox looking like and the other in a frog suit, he wondered for a moment if he should tell them no pets but then he remembered the conversation at the table this morning and let it go. It was rare to see the dark headed woman smile and laugh like this, her chin was perched on her hands and a soft smile grace her lips as she leant forward into the conversation.
Freed spotted Cobra with a purple haired woman and walked over with a smile. "Hello" he said politely making both of them look up and smile back.
The purple haired girl gasped and grabbed his hand "It's wonderful to meet you, you must be Freed" her grip was light on his hand and unusually cold, noticing his confusion she pulled her hands back quickly "Ha-ha, sorry" she smile nervously "Cold hands, people tell me I'm cold blooded" she joked before looking timidly at her shoes.
The psychologist shook his head "No, don't worry and please excuse my appearance" he smiled and straightened out his shirt sleeves and did up his top button "I have only had the company of filing cabinets this morning and they do not mind a scruffy look" he formally apologised with a light tone.
She shook her head "I don't mind at all" her tone was beautiful and very hypnotising, strangely it remind him of the snake from the Disney movie the jungle book.
Freed nodded "I know but I still feel the need to apologise"
Strangely enough she understood "Rich background?" she asked knowingly
The green haired man pulled a face "That easy to tell?" he asked in dismay, the further he could get from his roots the better, but he didn't want to give up manners.
Another laugh sounded from her lips "Don't worry it takes one to know one, as they say" she shook her head "Not that everyone is all bad at the top of the class system it's just the everyone is well, everyone is-"
"Dreadfully dull?" he interjected.
She giggled behind her hand "Lets phrase it delightfully dull, sounds more refined, and dull everyone is indeed, their idea of scandal is so boring, I swear the most interesting thing to have happened in the last decade is Lucy Heartfilia running from home" she lifted her head to her direction and hushed her voice.
Freed chuckled with her "I know, still though you work as barmaid now or so Cobra tells me, that's dropping a few ranks" he pointed out.
"Yes well, being a therapist is no Lord status" she felt Cobra tug on her arm "Oh sorry darling" she turned to Freed "Wonderful to meet you but would like to spend some time with my lovely Cobra" she giggled and laid her head his arm.
"Of Course" he smiled and made his getaway.
In one corner of the room her saw Mira-Jane, she had a split personality disorder and came in for a few sessions a month, but lived at her home with her siblings. Mira stood happily in the middle as Lissana and Elfman stood next to them, it would be a cute family picture if Evergreen and Bickslow were not hitting on Lissana and Elfman. Still the two youngest siblings seemed happy enough and Mira-Jane looked thrilled at the pairings.
Not wanting to intrude he looked over at large group in the corner and spotted the back of Jellal's head; he smiled and walked over, these guys he could deal with. He tapped the tattooed man on the shoulder and Jellal quickly turned round and smiled "Hey guys, this is the new therapist, Freed Justine" Freed stood awkwardly at Jellal's side.
"This is my girlfriend Erza" the redhead smiled and shook his hand though it almost was crushed under her grip "This is Meredy my old friend, she is like a little sister to me" she smiled and waved cutely her pink hair tumbling down her shoulders "This is Juvia, she is taking care of Meredy whilst me and Ultear are in therapy" Juvia glared at him and looked at the dark haired man on her right "And this is Grey and Lyon" he gestured to the two boys "they are Ultear's younger brothers but Grey is also Juvia's boyfriend" the blue haired woman snatched on to his arm as if to prove a point.
Grey sighed and peeled his arm out of her grip "I have a bounty job this evening so I should be going" he smiled a Jellal "Me and Lucy over there are on the same team" he tried to explain.
Freed nodded "I remember, before I was put into the rehabilitation side of Fairy Tail I was on the bounty side, I worked solo though"
Grey squinted before his eyes light up with realisation "Shit! You're the fencing guy, man your sword play is deadly, why are you here?" he asked in disbelief.
Freed chuckled and shrugged "I'm more smart than strong and I was reassigned by the master"
The dark haired man laughed "Well shit, if you are smart, you're on the same wave as fucking Steven hawking" Freed rolled his eyes but could not hide the smile that crept on his face.
The rest of the day past in light laughs and happy conversations, Freed spent most of his time in this group, he watched as A came over and Grey and Erza immediately hugged her, he explained after she had left that she was a carer for the people who grew up in Fairy-Tail, she was always Five years older than them and for the young generation like Gray, Erza and Natsu much like big sister. She was also trained in child therapy so they talked about their tragic pasts with her.
Still the time ticked on and one by one the Visitors left and Bickslow took the patients back to their rooms below.
Only right as Mira and her family was leaning, the semi-patient walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder "Freed, right?" she asked sweetly. Freed noticed if kindness had a colour it would be same shade of blue that sparkled in her eyes.
He nodded "Yes, is something wrong?" he hadn't had the girl much; it was strange how someone so sweet could be in therapy with such messed up people.
The white haired woman laughed and shook her head "Oh, no my dear nothing like that" a kind smile light up her face and she adverted her eyes to Laxus who was hugging and tickling A and Z, "He has been looking at you all night" Mira said looking back to him.
Freed's heart jumped in his chest "Who? Me!" he blinked in confusion.
Mira giggled behind her hand and twisted a lock of hand around her finger "Who else?" Lissana then called her name so Mira called back "Coming!" and ran off.
Freed stood still for a moment and watched the woman retreat to the front door in her cranberry red top and dark designer jeans before looking back at Laxus. She was making it up, why on earth would Laxus be looking at him all day, it made no sense.
Freed sighed maybe he had done something wrong.
Laxus looked up and caught Freed staring at him making the green haired man go red and flustered in the face.
The boss looked at his girls before apologising "Sorry, I need to go and speak to Freed for a moment" before squeezing Z's arm and walking off.
A smiled sadly and looked at Z as Bickslow and Evergreen joined them in staring at the two men "I don't think we will be the most important people in Laxus's life for much longer"
Bickslow pouted childishly and Z frowned at them "I almost want to keep them a part" she thought for a moment before adding another "Almost" as an afterthought.
Evergreen gasped in horror as her hand fled to her necklace and fingered the gems "What if Laxus stops buying us things? Like books and jewellery and instead spends it all on Freed" the woman wailed.
A rolled her eyes "I doubt that, but still I am happy for him" she said with a very forced smile "It's like watching your brother fail with a crush"
Bickslow groaned "So we have to pull a Mira-Jane and try and make them get together because that just seems like a lot of effort" Z nodded in agreement.
The smallest girl shook her head once more "No, let's just see how this plays out"
(Bonus)
A smiled as she pushed the snake closer to Evergreen "Oh come one! Bolt just wants to say hello" the said reptile was wrapped around her arm.
Evergreen hissed and clutched the bunny closer to her chest "Get that smiley thing away from me and Sama" she stroked the soft white ears tenderly.
Z messed up the fur of her new puppy "sparky is just the cutest"
Bickslow let is new rat run from hand to hand "Play with the snake Ever or I will put my little bad boy in your bed" he chuckled looking at Thunder the rat
Laxus sighed and let the sofa swallow him further "Why do I let you rope me into this?" he said stroking his own new cat which he honestly did call 'fuck you all' all though used A's nickname of Lucky.
Freed petted his own little bird "I'm sure we are breaking health and safety rules"
