Bickslow's POV

Just as soon as Laxus was taken away in magic cancelling cuffs the entire guild erupted in cheers. Natsu who had taken a bad beating from Laxus as well was being cared for by Gray who Natsu was currently arguing with for using his magic while pregnant.

Juvia had come out of her phase of loving Gray and the two were now good friends. She was excited beyond belief for Gray and Natsu's baby to be brought into the world. Juvia was currently also engaged to Lyon though he was away on a mission. Gray and her had bonded over planning the wedding.

Mirajane who had hit Laxus with the bottle was being patched up by Lisanna and Wendy. Apparently Laxus had stooped so low he was okay with even beating his childhood friend.

As everyone continued cheering for Laxus's defeat by the police me, Freed and Evergreen were sat in the back discussing what had happened. Ever had threatened to turn Laxus to stone multiple times by this point but Freed denied her each time saying he didn't need her to and that jail was a worthy punishment.

I disagreed, I thought death by petrification was one of the many suited ways he deserved to die. Evergreen like me was an alpha as was her husband Elfman. We were all enraged at what Laxus had done but none of them more then me.

I was currently cleaning off my babies with one hand as Freed had never let go of my hand. It was strange to say the least but....it's not like I minded. He was a broken omega, he needed comfort and he was my friend so I would give it.

With that the crazy party that was the celebration of the new guild members commenced. Everyone went practically crazy when Mirajane announced the free alcohol to anyone not pregnant.

Gray was very much not happy to hear that as he knew he would be carrying home a drunk Natsu later tonight.

Freed gripped my hand as Evergreen got up to find Elfman. I could tell there was something on his mind but there were so many things it could be it was hard to tell.

"Bickslow" he whispered to me as he gripped my hand even tighter. Any tighter and he might break my hand.

"Yeah?" I asked as I faced him. He looked to be feeling at least a little better.

"Can I stay with you until I can get on my feet?" He asked.

I smiled glad to see he had finally acknowledged my offer farther then one night.

"Of course" I said as I faced him and playfully stuck out my tongue. He blushed and turned away but he never let go of my hand.

**************

A few hours later we finally arrived at my house again. I was panting as I had carried Freed's three heavy suitcases as he carried some papers and some baby clothes he had been given in his hands.

I dropped down on my doorstep and panted as the moon peaked out from behind the clouds. It had been a long day and an even longer walk from Laxus's old apartment which the magic council had forcibly sold and handed over the money to Freed after what had happened to him because of Laxus.
Not exactly a lawful action but no one would stop or oppose them.

Freed was smiling to himself as he looked carefully at the baby clothes he was given by Virgo, one of Lucy's spirits. She was a very good clothes maker and had even added the FairyTail symbol to the back of each outfit in a color matching the color of the onesies.

"So you really like those clothes huh?" I panted out as I finally stood back up. Freed looked up to me and blushed beat red and looked away.

"Yes....I am rather fond of them." He replied as he held them close to his body. The way he was holding them led me to believe they were like a lifeline to him and I wasn't going to get in his way.

"Hey look." I said changing the subject "This grey one has a black Guild Mark like mine."

I stuck out my tongue as proof and Freed just chuckled at me. For someone who had just been raped the previous day he was remarkably cheerful. I guess anyone would be after their rapist had been punished.

I smiled and led him inside and took his suit cases up the stairs. They were extremely heavy but I managed to carry them all the way here so a flight of stairs was nothing in comparison.

Setting them in the corner of my room I spun around to see Freed set the baby clothes on my dresser and along with the papers. He turned to me and we both blushed but soon looked away.

"S-so I'll leave you to get some sleep now..." I said after almost five whole minutes of silence. As I stepped forward to walk away my wrist was grabbed by Freed. He was looking down at his feet.

"Please.....stay" he said as he led me to the bed. My heart was pounding in my ears. What was going on here.

I knew unmarked omegas were free to move on and do as they pleased but what was Freed thinking he had been raped yesterday. My mind raced as I sat down on the bed on my usual side on the right. I shook my head trying to get control, no Freed was probably just scared is this morning proved anything.....but why was he blushing for fiercely.

Freed laid down on the left side still in the oversized pajamas I had given him yesterday. I had forgotten entirely about the fact that he never changed before going to the guild even though we went passed Laxus's apartment. Wait did that mean he wanted to wear my clothes? I shook my head again, this was not a time to let feelings cloud my judgement.

I stared at the wall opposite of Freed and played with my thumbs. It was getting quite late. I looked back of to see Freed nearly inches from my face. There was a hazed look in his eyes.

"F-Freed" I stuttered out as I backed away covering my nose. The scent of pine and ceded was so strong it burned my nostrils. Freed didn't seem to notice and only frowned at the lack of touch.

He crawled on top of me and pressed him lips to mine after pulling away my hand. My face was flushed red and my alpha senses were begging me to take the omega in front of me, but I couldn't do that the freed. I pulled away and pushed Freed back on the bed. I ran out of the room and slammed the door shut sitting behind it. Grabbing the phone on the table nearest me I dialed the only person I knew who was probably going through the same situation right now.

One ring...two rings....three rings....

"Hello?"

"Natsu I need your help!"

TBC.
