Laxus' P.O.V

As soon as I said I had someone special, Thunder pouted. I looked around for Freed. Hopefully with in the next two day I will get the chance to confess to him.

"Hey everyone, why not go swimming in the lake pond I found", Ripley asked. He recived a lot of confused looks.

"Lake pond?", Ever asked. Ripley nodded.

"Yeah, it's to small to be a lake but to big to be a pond", he explained. Ever looked around, everyone nodded.

"Yeah, we'll start training the day after tomorrow, sound good", Lu asked. Thinking about it, it sounded like a good plan.

"I think I'll stay here if you don't mind", Freed spoke. I raised a eyebrow. For as long as I've known Fred, he's always loved swimming.

"Why", Ever asked, "You love swimming"

"I just don't feel well", Freed replied, "That's all"

"I'll stay and look after him", I said. This could be my chance.

"You don't have to do that Laxus", Freed said. His cheeks dusted with a faint blush.

"Come on Freed, you do some much for me, let me return the favor"

"Yeah Freed, plus we don't want you dying while we're out", Bixlow spoke up. Freed looked at the three of us. He sighed, knowing he was not going to win this fight.

"Very well then"

I smiled, a very little smile.

"Well let's get going", Lu called.

After the three dragons (Ravena, Thunder and Ripley), four exceeds (Lupin, Crystal, Percy and Jason) and five humans (S.J, Em, Lucy, Evergreen and Bixlow) where out of sight, Freed walked in to the cave.

"What's wrong Freed", I asked. He shruged but didn't answer. Fine, play it that way.

Walking over to where Freed layed down, I stood over him.

"What's wrong Freed", I asked again. My voice dripping with command.

Freed's P.O.V

Laxus' voice dripped with command. How was I supposed to say that he was what's wrong? How was I supposed to say you just crushed my heart?

"Do you really want to know", I asked.

"I asked didn't I", Laxus replied. I decided to tell him exactly like it is.  

"You're what's wrong", I said plainly. Laxus' eyes widened.

"What, how?", he asked.

"Because I'm in love you Laxus, I always have been"
