Freed has his guild mark on the back of his left hand and Lucy has hers on the back of her right hand so when they hold hands their guild-marked hands will be connected and somehow that's a precious thought 💚💗

genuinely why are Freed x Lucy such a hot couple 😳

Because hot male + hot female = people don’t know if they’re jealous of Freed or of Lucy.

Frelu + “It’s cold, you should take my jacket.” and/or "Dance with me." ? :)

FreLu + ‘It’s cold, you should take my jacket.’

   Magnolia was alive tonight in a way that it hadn’t been since the war had ended. Lacrima lights strung amongst the trees and long shopfronts, and over the market stalls that had sprung up along the main streets. It gave the town a warm glow, as evening fell, the sky above dark and clear of any cloud, as an autumnal chill slipped into the air. It hadn’t discouraged people from coming out though, and the streets were bustling with activity, both locals and visitors, and the air was filled with chatter and music, several musicians having set up at various points through the streets, while children gathered around street performers.

   Lucy and Freed had paused for a moment, watching as a juggler entertained a small group of children. There was no magic involved, and yet the children were enchanted, whopping and laughing as he added more and more item, each stranger than the last. Eventually, Lucy squeezed the Rune Mage’s hand and pulled him away, joining the flow of people moving through the stalls and entertainment, pressed together to stop themselves from losing the other in the crowd, as they had already lost the others. Although Lucy had caught the sideways glance, Evergreen had shot them before pulling Bickslow away, and she had a feeling that Erza might have done the same with the others, and she made a note to pick up some cake for the other woman while they were out.

“It’s strange,” she murmured, finally breaking the comfortable silence that had fallen.

“What’s strange?” Freed asked, looking at her with a frown, having caught the almost wistful tone to her voice. She didn’t look sad, her eyes bright as she looked around them, and he recognised the expression on her face as the one she wore when she was working out ow to add something into her writing.

“Looking around it’s almost like nothing happened,” Lucy replied, and he could see her other hand was clenched, fingers trembling slightly. A lingering aftereffect from when she had rewritten the book of E.N.D., it was fading, happening less and less and Porlyusica had told them she expected it to disappear entirely over time, but Freed knew that it bothered her. “As though it was a bad dream, but…”

“It wasn’t,” he finished for her, pulling her off to the side and out of the flow of people, turning and reaching out to take her other hand too. Smoothing out the clenched fingers and tangling their fingers together, absorbing the trembling without flinching. “It will fade eventually,” he murmured, not meaning just the trembling, but the memories, the feeling that it had been too close that the entire Guild shared.

“I know,” Lucy murmured, moving closer and Freed smiled, releasing her hands to pull her into a hug. “And I don’t want to forget, it’s just… I’m a little jealous, I think?” Freed hummed, resting his head on hers so that he could watch the people moving past them. It was easy to think that the rest of Magnolia had forgotten what had happened. Still, there was a subtle tension in the air, people staying a little closer than usual, parents more watchful than they had been during previous festivals. They were further towards moving on than the Guild was, but the shadow was there, lingering. He didn’t say that though, didn’t want to dampen her mood any further, and instead, he squeezed her lightly, kissing her forehead before releasing her.

“We shouldn’t forget what happened, not completely,” he agreed, smiling down at her. “But, for tonight, we can afford to let it go a little.” He shrugged off his coat, draping it around her shoulders, his smile growing when her fingers came up automatically to catch it and hold it in place, the tremble easing from her hand. “Let’s go find some cake for Erza, and I should get Ever something too, and then we can find a good place to watch the fireworks.”

“How…?”

“I might have heard them plotting earlier,” Freed admitted, and Lucy giggled, the shadow banished for the time being as she clutched his coat with one hand and held out her other. He took it without hesitation, giving no sign that he realised it was her affected one, and she squeezed it tightly.

“Let’s forget about what happened, just for tonight.”

FreLu + ‘Dance with me?’

   The ballroom had settled down after Natsu’s antics and the King’s speech, the guilds mingling together in groups that Lucy could never have believed even at the end of the Games. Apparently facing Dragons and nearly losing was more than enough to lay aside those previous tensions, and she’d had fun chatting with Yukino before the other woman had been stolen away by her own Guild. She’d danced briefly with her friends, before finding herself drifting off to the side. It felt odd being here, dressed as she had while growing up, and yet wholly different from the person she had been back then. Or maybe it was everything that had happened that had left her feeling odd, as though she was slightly out of step with what was happening. More than once, when she’d closed her eyes, all she had been able to see was her Future-Self leaping in front of her.

    Trying to keep the memories at bay and wanting to enjoy the celebrations she had taken to watching the others from the edge of the dancefloor. It helped to see everyone looking so happy and relaxed, to see the last seven years finally melting away now that Fairy Tail had proven itself again. She smiled as she watched Alzack and Bisca dancing with little Asuka in their arms, demanding that they go faster even though it was a slow dance that was playing. Wendy and Chelia were still working their way along the dessert table, and that made her nostalgic remembering how she had sneaked into her father’s parties to do the same. Wondering if she should warn them about the stomach ache that would follow, before deciding it was better to let them have her fun.

   After a while she realised that she wasn’t the only one watching proceedings, her eyes caught by a flash of green on the far side of the dance floor, blinking at finding Freed stood alone rather than with Laxus and the Raijinshuu as he usually was. He looked more at ease with their surroundings than most of their guildmates, and she wondered if he had previous experience of situations like this, it wasn’t really something that had ever come up in conversation before, and now she was curious. However, it was the longing in his eyes as he watched people whirling past on the dancefloor that caught her attention, and she found herself unable to look away, even though she told herself she didn’t want to be caught staring.

   Freed was good at hiding the longing she realised, watching as he masked it whenever someone came to talk to him, Bickslow and Evergreen trying to drag him off to do something, and then Levy pausing to speak with him for a few minutes. He would talk with them easily enough, but as soon as he was alone again, his attention would return to the dancefloor, and Lucy found herself fidgeting with the skirt of her dress. She knew what she wanted to do about it, but did she dare? Her interactions with the Raijinshuu and Freed had been somewhat limited. However, she had spent some pleasant afternoons talking about books and writing with the Rune Mage after Levy had introduced them. But talking about books and asking someone to dance were very different things… especially when she hadn’t really let herself admit how much she had started to look forward to those chats, to spending time with Freed.

Protect the future.

  Her hands stilled as the words echoed for a moment, and she took a deep breath. They had protected the future; she had protected the future. Now… it was time to seize the future they had protected, and gathering her courage, smoothing her fingers over her guild mark she slowly made her away around the edge of the dancefloor. Skirting around a conversation that sounded a little too close to becoming a brawl.

   He had seen her coming, and as she reached him, the mask slid back into place. The longing replaced with a smile and casual interest, and Lucy decided there and then that she wanted to know why he was hiding it. But not right then, when she could do something better, and so she moved right up to him and held out her hand with a smile, that grew as she saw the flicker of hope in his eyes that he couldn’t entirely hide. “Will you dance with me, Freed?” The flicker became a spark, and then he was taking her hand with a smile.

“I would love to.”

whispers Frelu (I also still have your request oh my god. maybe ill get to write a short thing for it tomorrow keb)

Rules.

They governed his life; they were the order of the world, the sense by which Freed understood the world around him.  Human interactions were guided by social rules, and countries by the laws they enacted.  Things worked because people followed those guidelines, whether they were spoken or implied.

People, too, were governed by personal codes, were were another type of rule.

Rules governed language as well, and that formed the core of Freed’s magic.  Rules set forth by strings of words, which had their own rules, were binding in ways that made Freed feel powerful.  Anything in his space, he could order to his liking - bring form from the chaos around him.

This would seem to be at odds with how Fairy Tail operated.  But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t difficult to see that Fairy Tail had its own set of ironclad rules that it followed, even if they often ran counter to the rules of outsiders.  It was contained chaos, and so long as Freed could align himself to those rules as well, he found Fairy Tail a pleasant place to be.

But sometimes, he found it difficult to relate to the other members of the guild.  He understood the rules by which Evergreen, Bickslow, and Laxus had aligned themselves.  They were predictable to him, thanks to long familiarity and common goals.

Running up against other people’s rules however - or the apparent lack of them in some cases - grated on Freed badly.  When the world failed to order itself to his expectations, he coped poorly.  Freed was well aware of this flaw within himself, but it was a difficult one to adjust for, because he felt if he discarded his need for rules it would be akin to throwing away an intrinsic, and vital, part of himself.  He wasn’t exactly willing to cut out a piece of himself without very good reasons - reasons that had yet to present themselves to him.

Freed thought maybe he could follow the example of someone else, in order to better himself.

He immediately thought of Lucy.

Lucy’s magic wasn’t really all that alike Freed’s, at least on the surface.  Levy’s was much closer, and she understood language in a way few others did.  However... at the core of Lucy’s magic, and her soul, were promises.

What was a promise, but another type of rule?

And Lucy lived by her promises - they were as much a part of her as Freed’s rules were.

If anyone would understand, he felt it would be her.

It didn’t hurt that Lucy was an extremely pleasant, and orderly, person to be around.  And that she loved talked about her magic, and when Freed seemed especially interested it nearly sent her over the moon.

Freed thought that maybe he rather liked being around someone that was as excited to discuss the rules and boundaries of magic as he was.
