Waiting For My Mate

Chapter 53

"I think I might as well go straight to Porlyusica now for my regular examination", Freed muttered. "You three go give your report at the Guild."

"Freed..." Laxus sighed.

"I'll see you back at home". Freed said and just started walking to another street, heading towards the forest.

"Fuck", Laxus cussed irritated. "Why is he that waspish?"

"He'll calm down soon", Ever smiled. "It's just those hormones. If you want, we can take care of the report so you can go after Freed."

"Thanks", Laxus said.

"But don't get too close, Freed needs time to calm", Bickslow grinned. "He should be calm enough once you arrive at the cottage."

"You're right. I'll just stay close enough so I can get to him quickly if something happens", Laxus said. "But far enough so he won't notice me. Last thing I want is to make him even more angry", he muttered and went after his green haired boyfriend.

Freed arrived at the edge of the forest and by then, he was already calm again. He had been muttering something the whole way, but he just couldn't stay mad when he knew that it was stupid and childish. According to Ever it was alright, sometimes he was allowed to act like that since what could he do about it? When those hormones decided now was the time to do something completely absurd, that is what was going to happen.

Freed sighed, following the small path between the trees. He felt still bad. It was not alright to act like that when he knew very well that Laxus had just as much information about this whole mess as he did. They had no idea what could happen so it was no-one's fault.

Freed crossed his arms and nodded to himself. He should apologize. Maybe he should make a good dinner after he returned back home? Something that Laxus really liked. Lately, they had mostly eaten what Freed was craving... But then again, when he thought about it a while, a lot of things had happened lately according to what he wanted...

The rune mage groaned ruffling his hair slightly. He was acting ridiculous! How could he be this selfish? It was not alright at all to snap to his Thunder God like that and without a good reason at all! He had to apologize at once when he would see Laxus again! And he had completely ignored all his duties as a captain! Though, it was because Porlyusica had forced him on this... Err... Vacation.

When was the last time he checked their budget for the important expenses? Had he even taken a good look in the fridge when they visited their house just two days ago? Were Ever and Bickslow eating just junk food and not proper food? He might be pregnant but he shouldn't neglect his duties!

"Hello, Freed!"

Freed snapped out of his thoughts and turned his head.

"Hello, Levy", he smiled. "How are you doing?"

"Fine", Levy smiled. "You're going to see Porlyusica too?"

"Yes", Freed nodded and they started their journey together. "I thought you usually went to see her at mornings", Greenette said.

"I usually do, but today I had no time to go earlier", Levy explained. "Gajeel is busy with other things so this is a good chance to have time for myself. You seem a little bit troubled."

"I am", Freed sighed. "I have came to notice finally that my behaviour has been inexcusable lately..."

"What happened?" Levy asked surprised and worried. "What did you do?"
