The Eighth Day

This is for Day 7 of Fraxus week. I meant for it to be longer, but here it is nonetheless. READ UNTIL THE END BEFORE TELLING ME I MESSED IT UP.

For the most part, Laxus preferred the summer. He liked the heat, the warm sun on his skin, and the thunderstorms that rolled over Magnolia. But although none of that happened(or at least not normally) in winter, there were some parts of the cold season that he enjoyed. After all, winter was the season of holidays and staying cozy with one’s family(the latter of which Laxus would never admit he enjoyed).

Snow crunched under his boots as he made his way back from the guild hall, Evergreen at his side. A light purple scarf had been added to his normal attire, which he pulled over his nose every once in a while. In his bag were presents from the rest of the guild for them to open on Christmas day.

Evergreen eyed the bag, “So, have you gotten all of your presents?”

“Yeah, I got all of ‘em.” Laxus replied, smiling to himself. Part of the Thunder Legion’s agreement meant celebrating each other’s holidays. Since Freed was raised Jewish, that meant they got to celebrate an extra seven days of gifts. Today was the last day of Hanukkah, and Christmas was next week, so they had almost back-to-back holidays.

“Did you get something for Elfman?”

Evergreen blushed, pulling her forest-green scarf up over her mouth, “Just something small.”

Laxus chuckled. Although she’d finally admitted that she and Elfman were dating, she still tried to hide just how much she cared about him. Besides, everyone knew Evergreen wasn’t one to go small with gifts, “I think Elfman would need a pretty big ring.”

“Oh, shut up!” Evergreen shouted, face beet red as she shoved Laxus, “Besides, you and Freed are going to get married before I will.”

“Who says?”

She rolled her eyes, “Come on. The entire guild is waiting for one of you to propose.”

The lightning dragon tried to hide the flush of his cheeks, “Really?”

“Gods, are you really that clueless?” Evergreen laughed, “It’s pretty obvious. Master talking about how he wants to have another grandson before he dies? Mira always asking to see Freed’s hands?”

“Whatever,” Laxus grumbled, “They’ll have to wait a while for that.”

“So you’re not getting a ring?”

“No? Why would you think I was?”

“Well, you’ve only got seven presents for Freed. I thought you might have been getting the ring sized.”

A chill ran down Laxus’s spine, “There’s seven days of Hanukkah, right?”

Evergreen stared at him for a long moment, gauging if he was serious or not, “There’s eight.”

“I swear to the gods, If you’re joking with me--,”

The chill then exploded across Laxus’s body, freezing his heart for a moment. She was right! Dammit, he’d been celebrating Hanukkah with them for so long, how could he have forgotten? He counted on his fingers, thinking back on what he’d bought. He often got presents early, so he’d gotten eight for Ever and Bicks. However, he mulled over what to get Freed every year, waiting till the last possible day to buy his gift.

Laxus started walking faster, head down as he tried to think of something he could get Freed. Evergreen was jogging to keep up, but he paid no mind to her as he walked down the street. This was Freed! He couldn’t get him something cheap, or anything that would make it seem like he hadn’t planned this all out. Freed had probably planned out all his presents months ago. He was so organized like that, and so handsome too. Laxus couldn’t let himself be someone that didn’t deserve the man he loved. He would never forgive himself if he did something so insulting…

“Laxus, calm down,” Evergreen said, her voice cutting through his thoughts, “You’re panicking.”

It was only then that noticed how shallow and quick his breaths were. He steadied himself, taking slow, deep breaths. What would he do without the Thunder Legion?

“Damn, I’m so stupid,” he muttered, “Freed’s gonna be really pissed if he finds out. What if he hates me?”

Evergreen took one of his hands, holding it in her own, “You and I both know Freed could never hate you. He’ll love you no matter what.”

He tried to focus on what she was saying. Ever was right, Freed had never hated Laxus. He’s always been supportive, and the best boyfriend Laxus could ever ask for.

He slowly looked up, watching the people walking down the street, clad in their winter attire. Snow fell gently, catching in his hair and eyelashes before slowly melting away. The air smelled of pine from the massive tree they kept in the plaza and smoke from the chimneys of people warming themselves in front of a fire. His body relaxed as he took a deep breath, letting the air fill his lungs.

It was then that something in the corner of his eye caught his attention. He turned, looking at the shop across the street. The golden light from inside made it glow against the dark gray sky, reflecting off the snow on the ground. Laxus blinked. Was this some sign from the gods, that he’d stopped across the street from this shop? He grabbed Evergreen’s hand, pulling harder than he should have.

“Hey, watch it! What are you doing?” She shouted, trying to free herself from his grasp. Then she noticed where he was going.

“Are you serious?” She breathed, wide-eyed. Laxus only grunted in response, not even looking at her as he led her into the shop.

The store seemed like a place that was practically Laxus-repellent, jewelry and gems of every color under the sun shining from every corner and every display case. The windows were lined with displays of necklaces covered with an excessive amount of diamonds, even for Evergreen’s standards. The main counter made a u-shape around the room, which also served as display cases, full of golden and silver rings and earrings and even more necklaces. The lights from above with polished wood floors made the whole building look as if it were glowing gold.

Laxus walked through the entire display, examining all of the rings they had. Still not letting go of Evergreen’s hand. A clerk came out from the back, “Good evening, sir! If there’s anything you need, please let me know.”

Laxus didn’t even react, eyes locked on one ring; a silver band with runes engraved on it, and a single sapphire in the middle(Although she couldn’t read runes as well as Freed, she was pretty sure they just said “I love you”).

The lightning dragon pointed at the ring, “How much is this one?”

The clerk looked at the ring, “That one’s 500,000 Jewel.”

Evergreen looked at Laxus. This was a huge investment, was he sure he wanted to do this on a--

“I’ll take it.”

“What size?”

“Seven centimetres.”

“You have it memorized?” Evergreen chuckled.

“Shut up,” Laxus said, not even looking her way. He was too focused on doing this, on doing something right for Freed.

The clerk frowned, “We don’t have that size in stock here right now. We can have it in tomorrow though.”

The lightning dragon sucked in a breath, biting his lip, “What time?”

“I’d say around six o’clock. Is that alright?”

Laxus exhaled, his grip on Evergreen’s hand loosening for the first time, “Yeah, that’s great. Can I pay now?”

The clerk nodded, “Yes, we can do that.”

Laxus nodded. He paid without saying another word, only nodding to acknowledge the clerk’s well wishes. Evergreen followed him out, only barely trying to hide her smirk, “So it seems the master and Mira won’t have to wait so long after all.”

A small smile crossed the Lightning Dragon’s face, “Yeah, seems so…”

Looking back, of all the impulsive decisions he made in his life, this was the one he never regretted. Not for a moment.

Start of Something Beautiful

Fraxus Week 2020 (Eve)

Prompt: First Meeting

Laxus glanced up from his coffee as a green haired man approached his table on the far end of the guild. His long, green hair bounced slightly as he walked over to where Laxus sat, alone.

He was younger than Laxus. Around 18 or 19. He was also new in the guild, having just joined about a week ago. That was more than enough time for anyone to learn that Laxus wasn’t interested in making “friends”. As soon as he could, Laxus was going to take over the guild, and nothing was going to stand in his way.

Laxus glared at the approaching man, warning him about coming any closer. His orange eyes were met by piercing blue eyes, having received the message, but there was something different.

Normally, anyone else would back down. Acting like they were going somewhere else, they were looking for the bathroom, or something. But not him. Not the green haired man. He got Laxus’s message. He met his gaze, and still kept going. He stopped in front of Laxus, standing over him.

Up close, Laxus saw how beautiful he was. He could get any woman he wanted, definitely. He should have been like Loke, another member of the guild, with girls practically hanging off of his arms. But, he was here, standing over Laxus with a serious look on his face.

Was he suicidal? Why would he challenge Laxus in such a way? Perhaps Laxus needed to teach him a lesson.

The man was only about a head taller than Laxus when he was sitting, and Laxus relished in the fact that he would tower over the new wizard if he stood.

“What?” Laxus grumbled, amused at the challange of knocking the man in front of him down a few pegs.

The man held his hand out towards Laxus, “Hello, my name is Freed.”

Laxus looked at his hand and then back into the eyes of the man. “So?”

Freed brushed off his harsh tone, “I’ve been told that you’re a S-rank mage. Is this true?” His outstretched hand stayed solid not shaking in the slightest.

Laxus was surprised by the man’s body language. His arm must have been getting tired, but he didn’t budge.

“So what if it is?” He asked.

“I hope that you won’t be to upset when I become the next guild master of Fairy Tail.” Freed replied.

Laxus’s eyes narrowed, “What did you just say to me? Do you kn-”

“Do I know who you are?” Freed interupted. “You’re Master Makarov Dreyar’s grandson. You’re father was originally going to be the next guild master before he got arrested for using black magic and kicked out of Fairy Tail.”

“How da-”

“You’re worried about people seeing you as your father, you desire to become the next guild master after Master Makarov retires.”

“Will yo-”

“I apologize, but I will be the next guild master. Not to worry, I will not forget you when the time comes. I hope that you can show me who you are.”

“Let m-”

Freed lowered his arm, “I see politeness does not run in the family.”

Laxus watched Freed walk away from him, still holding himself high and pride. Laxus was shocked at how this man had known so much. Laxus never spoke to anyone about his father, nor his desires of becoming guild master.

No one except his grandfather.

Perhaps, someone with a gift of grace and pride such as Freed would be helpful to have around.

Hello again Tumblr

3rd person POV

Freed and Laxus had always been good friends. They hung out a lot. They had ups and downs but hey, any good relationship does. No one is perfect. They never had serious arguments ever. For some reason, everyone else could see that they were great for each other, but they couldn't.

They always walked down the streets of Magnolia together. They enjoyed life quite a bit with each other in it.

A few weeks later

One day they were walking down the streets as they do, and Laxus pulls them over. Freed was confused for a minute. Never had Laxus pulled him over before-

That wasn't a very normal thing to do for anyone-

"What's wrong Laxus?" Freed's asked. "Nothings wrong... just... I've been meaning to tell you something. Something that I've been hiding from you for years," Laxus said. Freed looked even more confused now, raising one eyebrow and drastically lowering the other.

"What is it?" Freed asked. "Um.. maybe... maybe... um..." Laxus started. "You know you can just tell me right?" Freed chuckled. "Okay fine I love you... that's all it is Freed. I love you. You don't have to reciprocate, I mean who would love a person like me?" Laxus said, sadly chuckling at the last part. A few moments of silence went by. "I would," Freed said, his face turning a deep shade of crimson.

Laxus was the confused one now. He questioned all the time how anyone could actually care about him. Why would they though? He was actually a real pain in the ass and he knew it. "But Freed, are you sure? I mean... I'm an asshole after all," Laxus frowned. "Why the hell did you think I was so overly obsessed with you before we became good friends???" Freed almost shouted. Laxus' face lit up, and he smiled.

"Wow, I totally forgot about that," Laxus said. "Yea didn't think about that now did ya?" Freed teased. "Oh shut your goddamn mouth," Laxus replied. Deep inside, both of them were happy. Happy that they could be together. Happy that they both reciprocated each other's love.

A few days later

Freed and Laxus cuddled a lot. They never told anyone besides Bixlow and Evergreen that they were a couple, they were to scared. Maybe they shouldn't have even trusted two people with extremely high egos like Bix and Ever, but hey they were all part of the same team, and teams need trust. Bixlow was probably gonna tell anyone anyways so fuck it right?

Yet again, they were walking down the streets. "Hey Freed?" Laxus said. "Hm?" Freed replied. "Love you, just wanted to say that," Laxus smiled. "Love you to, you hopeless bitch," Freed said. Laxus sighed at that. It was actually true, he would never admit it though. "You— okay I can't say anything because my brain can't think of anything to insult you. That's weird because I always insult people. It's like we're being written," Laxus said. "Laxus that's fucking ridiculous," Freed teased. "Shut the fuck up," Laxus finished.

Hi Tumblr

So this is day one of official Fraxus week and the prompt was “He likes guys” so I made another oneshot and piece of art

This art is better than the last one because Gorillaz inspired me to make the hands more detailed and veiny and the lineart more thin

Anyways her

Now for the oneshot

Laxus' POV

Freed and I were walking down to the guildhall. We were happily talking about whatever, like friends do. I was actually pretty close to him. At least to me. I've never been close to anyone except for my dad but of course he left me and gave me this scar.

All of a sudden, Freed pulled me aside. His face went pretty dull. I looked down with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong man?" I asked him. "Well..." Freed started, but then stopped. "What man? You're starting to worry me a bit," I said, looking more puzzled than before.

"Laxus..." he said. "Hm?" I replied. "I think... I think I might.. be gay.." he said. I blushed, not sure why the fuck I did. Thing is, I'm also gay. "You're gay?" I said. "Y-yea," he said, backing away from me. I chuckled. "I am to.." I said, looking down. A smile formed onto Freed's face.

"Have you came out to anyone else?" I asked after a few moments of silence. "N-no... well I kind of came out to Bixlow but I just said that I liked men," Freed said. "Glad I'm the first choice then," I smirked. "Wipe that goddamn look off of your face," Freed said, frowning. I did as he said.

"Wait you're gay to????" Freed gasped. Maybe it didn't kick in till now. "Yup," I smiled. Freed put on the exact same smile. "Wow.. looks like I really found someone I can relate to then," Freed looked up at me, and then looked back down and went silent.

After a minute of him looking particularly sad, I asked him, "What is it?" "Well... I've never had anyone who's been as accepting and nice as you are about it. I mean I guess you're also gay.. but still. Everyone who looks at this guild expects us all to be straight, but that was never me. I'm just... I'm just glad I found you," he said. I smiled and hugged him.

"Well no shit I accept you, you're my best friend. My acceptance isn't gonna change. Also yea I'm gay so I get it. I'm glad I found you to Freed," I said. He smiled back up to me once again, this time his cheeks were red.

We walked onto the guild, happy that we related to each other in the fact that we were both gay and scared to admit it. I have a secret, but don't tell anyone. I actually love him. No surprise really. Probably should have mentioned that first, shit. But still.

We were happy for the rest of the day, casually talking to each other, but deep down we were both having a better than normal day.

I guess I found and trusted the right person.
