Waiting For My Mate

Chapter 84

It took time to move all the stuff from their old house to their new one and help Bickslow and Evergreen to set themselves in Laxus' old place. But finally their house was starting to look like home and Freed was more than happy about it.

Roxanne, Roscoe and Kvestor headed back to Naava Town when everything had been moved. Freed was wondering himself if they had yet thought more about Makarov's offer to join Fairy Tail. Bickslow sure hoped it, that was obvious. They too had grown attached to those three, but it was better not to rush their decision. They had to respect what they would finally decide, even if they wouldn't join Fairy Tail, that didn't mean they couldn't visit and see each others.

There was also some news about Lucados that they heard. Apparently Magic Council had found where the old man was but for now they had not managed to catch him. But Freed wasn't too worried, Lucados knew there was no chance for him to go against them again, not now when they were extra careful not to let him surprise them twice. The whole Guild was aware of his powers and cautious that he might appear again.

For Freed that meant he was forbidden to go outside Magnolia. He was actually fine with it, but what he was not fine with was Laxus shadowing his every step. Where ever he went, he could feel those orange eyes keeping an eye on him all the time.

"You are getting on my nerves", he announced while going through his books in their attic library and arranging his notes the way he wanted them.

Laxus was lounging on a couch, listening to his music.

"You've said that already", he just said his eyes closed.

"Don't you have anything else to do? You're the Master for god's sake, what about all the paperwork?"

"I asked Mirajane to take care of them. She has helped Gramps for so many years already, she knows what to do."

"You can't just delegate all your work to others, that's not how things work."

"Oh? I'd say it's working just fine", Laxus snickered and Freed rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, I'm not leaving everything for Mira, I already did most of the paperwork."

"I wonder when that happened since you haven't even been in the Guild at all today", Freed muttered putting away some binders.

Laxus opened his other eye and looked at the green haired mage, sitting up on the couch.

"Why are you so irritated, Freed?" he asked.

"It might have something to do with the fact that every time I turn around, there you are and all the time you remind me not do whatever I'm doing."

"I've never interrupted when you're reading", Laxus said leaning his jaw against the palm of his hand.

"How generous of you."

"You're the one who started talking this time, I was just laying here on the couch."

"You know well what I meant with what I said. If you really don't have any work to do then why not go find Bickslow and go out for the rest of the evening? Go get drunk or something like you used to do", Freed snapped.

There was a silence, Laxus looking at his fiancé who kept his eyes on his books.

"You really want to just be alone?" he asked.

"Yes, you should go have fun", Freed said taking one of the books and opening it. "I'll be just fine. I'll do some snacks and just read here, nothing else."

Laxus huffed and he stood up.

"Alright", he said, giving a quick peck on Freed's cheek. "I'll see you later, babe", he said and stepped to the stairs.
