Waiting For My Mate

Chapter 61

Hey babies! Here you go, an extra long chapter because I'm such a nice author and I wanted to give you a Christmas present! ˆˆ This has absolutely nothing to do with something like "I might not have enough time to update another chapter before next Saturday so I want to give them enough reading worth of two chapters!"

Except it does. I'm really sorry, but Christmas is always a busy time :/ Anyway, happy holidays everyone! Thank you so much of all those lovely comments, kudos and reading this story! ˆˆ

----------

Hours went by really, really slowly. Or at least for Laxus it felt like that, as he was already bored to death. He had tried to read something but he just wasn't that interested of reading. Not like Freed at least.

He was sitting at the small alcove with Freed, who had at least twenty books still with him. His turquoise eyes moved fast, following the words in the book and he flipped the pages quickly. Seriously, how did he do that so fast? How was it possible to read something that fast?

Laxus huffed and turned his gaze to look out from the window next to them. They were really high, as half of the library was built inside a mountain, in both natural and man made caves. Right now they were at the maybe sixth floor, at the side of the library that was like a castle by how big and fancy it was. This whole place was like from some fantasy book. Freed was of course excited and guess Laxus understood that. He had to admit that this place did look awesome when you saw it for the first time.

But after hours of sitting inside it doing nothing... It just wasn't that awesome anymore.

"Aren't you bored already?" he finally grunted.

"Hmm..." Freed hummed flipping the page.

"Hey, Freed."

"Hm?"

"You're not even listening", Laxus growled and he snatched the book away from Freed's hands, making the rune mage jolt.

"Laxus, I was reading it", he scolded.

"You think I didn't see that?" Laxus smirked.

"Just give it back, it was getting really interesting", Freed said trying to reach to take the book from Laxus, who just held it above his head. "You're messing with the pages, I didn't have time to mark where I was."

"Aren't you getting hungry?" Laxus said pulling Freed closer. "We've been sitting here already five hours. It's past noon. You should have lunch."

"I'm fine, just give me that book back", Freed said trying to reach to the book. "I want to finish it."

"Not before you eat something. You might not be hungry but Felix must be starving", Laxus reminded, making Freed blush.

"Fine", he finally muttered. "We can buy something from the cafe."

"There's a cafe here?"

"Yes, at the third floor."

"Okay, let's go there. But no books."

"Don't worry, you can't take books to the cafe", Freed huffed but smiled and he stood up, stretching. "Is it one o'clock already?"

"I told you it was past noon", Laxus said leaving the book at the table and they walked towards the stairs.

At the cafe they ordered some sandwiches, coffee and tea.

"Do you believe Bickslow have had a chance to talk with Roscoe yet?" Freed asked opening the paper around his sandwich.
