Chapter Text
Laxus walked down the street towards the guild hall because his grandfather had asked the thunder legion to the guild hall before everyone got there. Once Laxus got to the guild hall he saw that the thunder legion along with his grandfather “took you long enough!” Bixlow said as his baby’s echoed “oh shut up” Laxus replied as he shot out a little lightning bolt towards Bixlow. Bixlow dodged and instead the lightning bolt hit Evergreen,”watch where you shoot those!” Evergreen hissed as Laxus sat down next to Freed. “Now that you are all here it's time to explain you are all here.” Makarov said from his perch on the bar with Mirajane and Erza by his side “yes that would be nice” Freed said “it's actually you two!” Mirajane said with a sweet smile pointing at Laxus and Freed “us?” Freed and Laxus asked simultaneously well pointing between themselves with confusion “yes you two because everyone is sick of your guys idiocy” Erza said crossing her arms “so you two will be put in a room until you tell each other how you feel” Makarov said making a gesture towards the two as the other four grabbed the two and dragged them to the back of the guild hall where they were locked in a room “we’ll all be keeping guard in a rotation so you can't escape” Mira said in her usual sweet tone that at this moment sounded a little condescending.”so now we’re just stuck in here?” Laxus asks “it would appear so” Freed replied looking around noticing that there was only one bed and one other door which Freed decided to check it once he opened the door he saw it was a bathroom “its a bathroom” Freed stated as he entered the bathroom and closed the door so he could be alone to think.
'So we’re locked in this room until we tell each other how we feel. What does that mean? What does ‘tell each other how you feel’? Could they know how I feel about Laxus? No they couldn't know. The way they said it insinuates that he feels the same way but that couldn’t be true, could it? There's no way he feels the same way. Is there a way out that doesn't involve the door? There's no window in here or the main room,so that's out of the question and neither me nor Laxus could beat Mira and Erza would be a especially hard challenge and if Evergreen and Bislow are working together they could easily beat us and if master Makarov is there there's no way we’ll win. I don’t think I’ll survive in here more than a day and they said they wouldn’t let us out until we told each other how we feel so that would mean they’d be prepared for it to last a few days at least because they know that both me and Laxus are stubborn, so are they going to bring us food and water, they wouldn’t starve us but what about clothes and toothbrushes and toothpaste since i don’t see any in here i highly doubt that they have provided them or any toiletries by the look of it’ Freed mumbled unconsciously “you ok in there Freed? I can hear you mumbling in there” Laxus said through the bathroom door “i'm sorry i didn’t realize i was mumbling” Freed replied as he opened the door “what were you mumbling about anyway?” Laxus asked sitting on the bed “what do they mean by ‘tell each other how you feel’? Is there a way to get out without using the door because if we break the door down we could end up dealing with Mira or Erza or Makarov or Bixlow and Evergreen,and each would be enormously difficult. If we do go along with it and stay in here are they going to bring us food and water? And what about clothes and toiletries?” Freed questioned “Bixlow and Evergreen are grabbing your guy’s clothes and toiletries as we speak and yes we will be bringing you guys food and water. I actually have some breakfast for you guys” Mira said from where she was next to the door “how long have you been there?” Laxus asked “about as long as you’ve been sitting down” Mira replied “and what did you guys mean when when you said ‘tell each other how you feel’” Freed asked as Mira laugh a little “you two are smart you can figure that out on your own” Mira said with another laugh as she put the food plates on a dresser “but don’t do anything to crazy before you get your stuff though don’t want to walk in on anything” Mira said laughing as she walked out of the room leaving two extremely flustered mages.
“Here's your stuff if we missed anything let us know” Bixlow said “let us know! let us know!” the totem dolls chanted “everything looks good” Freed said looking through the bag from his spot on the floor “yup everything looks ok” Laxus said from his place on the bed “well then well be going then” Evergreen stated walking towards the door “someone has a date” Bixlow said in a mocking voice “with Elfman! With Elfman!” the dolls sang as Evergreen swatted at them “no! I’m going to the new jewelry store because I want some new pieces! So I'm going to shop until I drop!” Evergreen exclaimed as she started to walk down the hallway that the room was connected to “well I’m going to get going so you two might actually talk to each other and stop acting like you don’t have feelings for one another” Bixlow said as he walked out with his baby’s giggling as they followed leaving the lightning dragon slayer and the rune mage with very flushed faces as the seith mage closed the door with the click of the lock. As the two sat in the room still flustered after the comment the seith mage made Erza knocked on the door “c-come in” Freed stuttered still extremely red “mira asked that i bring you guys water because she forgot to bring them when she brought your guy’s food a while ago” Erza said as she put the waters next to the empty plates “i was supposed to meet up with Mest to talk about something to he wants me to do for him today and I doubt you will let me out for that so would it be possible for someone to contact him and let him know what is happening?” Freed asked Erza as she picked up the empty plates “yes I’ll make sure he is made aware of the situation” Erza stated, walking out of the room “thank you” Freed replied as Erza closed the door. As Erza walked down to put the plates in the sink to be washed she saw Doranbolt talking to Lucy as she got closer she could hear what they were talking about “you’re looking for Freed? Now that i think about it I haven’t seen him all day which is weird because Bixlow and Evergreen are here and you usually don’t see the three split up, they might know though.” Lucy said, pointing at the two sitting at the bar talking to Kinana and Cana as Erza approached Lucy and Mest “actually I was just talking to Freed, he wanted me to tell about what we’ve done with him and Laxus.” Erza said with a small laugh before she continued “we’ve locked them in a room in the back of the guild until they confess to each other because master Makarov, mira, and myself have been getting complaints from our fellow guild mates and they weren’t gonna do anything about it so we took things into our own hands” Erza explained as Lucy let a laugh “oh I see” Mest chuckled continued “tell him to contact me when he’s not stuck in a room with Laxus” “I will don’t worry, but if you don’t mind me asking what type of thing do you need Freed to do for you?” Erza questiend “he said he’d teach me how to cook and help me with some repair because we ran into each other well he was out shopping for stuff to make dinner for the rest of the thunder legion after a job and after I had help arrest the dark guild they all fought” Mest said as he scratched the back of his neck
