Fraxus with “I think we need to talk.” for you, my friend!

Laxus sighed, leaning his head against his knuckle. It had been a long week for everyone at work, and he was ready for a much-deserved nap. Drowning his week out with a few beers at Fairy Tail Bar would help him first. 

“Laxus?”

He opened one eye, spotting Freed, his best friend. I’m too sober for this. Seeing him now…

“Laxus, I think we need to talk.”

The blonde groaned. “Freed, it’s been a goddamn awful week and I’m not really in the mood to-”

“I know,” Freed interrupted him. “And I’m sorry to add this onto your worries. But…you don’t have to worry about it. I just…I need to tell you, because I feel like I’m lying if I don’t.”

Laxus most definitely did not like the sound of that. Sighing agains, he chugged the remaining sip in his beer before standing up. “Well, let’s go talk.”

The two walked to a corner of the bar, the green-haired man glancing around anxiously. Laxus decided that no amount of alcohol could get him through the evening. 

“So, what do we need to talk about?” he asked. 

“You should know…that I….” Freed started, looking away nervously. 

“Spit it out.”

“I-I like you.”

Laxus stared at him. “Did you just say-”

“And I know that’s completely weird, since we’re best friends. I just…I’m attracted to you. I don’t blame you if you don’t want to see me anymore, but I did have to tell you.” Freed rambled, eyes downcast. 

Laxus stared for another minute before slapping his forehead. “Are you stupid?” he demanded. “Why do you think I need a drink whenever I’m around you? I’m attracted to you too, you idiot.”

Freed’s jaw dropped. “Did you just say-”

“Need me to prove it?” Laxus smirked. He swooped forwards, placing a chaste kiss on his no-longer-just-a-best-friend’s lips. Freed responded in kind, kissing him with the taste of rum on his lips.

And as they kissed again and again, Laxus realized that he probably wasn’t as sober as he thought since he had finally opened up about his feelings for Freed Justine.
