Disclaimer: I know that many of the cited events tend to be rewritten by those who play the mentioned characters, but as this is supposed to shed light on the situation in Fiore, let's just go with what canon tells us about this.

Preface to this blog: It is a fact that mages are celebrities, starring in rankings like the infamous The Wizard I'd Like To Be My Girlfriend (and its brother) that is being published by the Sorcerer Magazine. Throughout canon, it is implied that good money is to be made as a wizard who also models---for this magazine and, in all likelihood, others. In fact, while it is commonly omitted from portrayals (for good reason, it is gross), the only all-female guild, Mermaid Heel, becomes a model agency after the War.

While male mages are being interviewed and there is the aforementioned The Wizard I'd Like To Be My Boyfriend ranking, through small scenes and throwaway lines, we learn that the Fiorean modelling / entertainment industry values attractiveness and youth in women. This is what Jenny uses to her advantage when she makes her bet with Mirajane; Mira is younger so the creeps judges are inclined to have Jenny win the pose-off so that Mira has to pose in the nude. Great, just great.

Throughout the story, there seems to be a focus on female mages not just being competent but also being 'sexy' while doing so. To a lesser degree, the Miss Fairy Tail contest that happens at the very beginning of the Battle of Fairy Tail is also evidence of this.

would you be interested in writing a Miraxus, Frecana and Gruvia centred oneshot some time? 😍

Hi anon! Oh wow. Miraxus and Gruvia? 

DO YOU EVEN HAVE TO ASK? hahahaha. Love you, anon.

In Frecana’s case, however... I’m not sure I have a full grasp of their characters, Anon. So, I may not be able to do them justice. So, with that one, I have to pass.

Oh this is bad. I’ve always said I wanted to challenge myself. ahaha. Next time, Anon. If I have time to read FT again. For now, I’ll pass. hihi

Other Fairy Tail headcanons noone asked for

Yes, I have more. Again, be prepared for the longest post, but also for probably some Frenchisms and inaccurate English.

- Human-hating-and-eating dragons existed long before the war, but they were few, as human meat wasn't that good for most draconic tastebuds... Most of the dragons preferred to just ignore humans, as they were seen as lesser beings by a big part of the dragon population.

- Dragonof and Montes Secreta are a rare show of dragon-human symbiosis. The dragons protect the territory from invading forces, be they human, dragon or otherwise, and the humans take care of the dragons and feed them.

- Dragons and dragon slayers hoard. What exactly depends on each individual's interests.

-> Natsu likes to hoard stuff that makes him think of his friends... or that belonged to his friends before he hoarded them.

-> Gajeel hoards metal (because food), comfy stuff (mostly cushions, pillows and sheets) and he began hoarding books when he began to form a friendship with Levy.

-> Erza, of course, hoards her armor and weapons. She has a very difficult time parting from any of her belongings, which is why she always over-prepares for quests. The slayers and herself realize the origin of her "problem" when her parentage is discovered.

-> Rogue collects frog stuff. He had a passion for frogs as a child (seems like a headcanon I share with @pencilofawesomeness hehe) that never really went away. So each time he goes on a quest and sees anything ressembling a frog? He buys it. Frosch has many maaaaany frog onesies, in all the colours imaginable, as they also share Rogue's love for frogs, but her favourite is the pink one (yes, in my head, Frosch is a girl).

-> Sting hoards jewellry and gems. He loves the colours and the sparkliness.

-> Laxus collects music. He does not realize he hoards it until he hears the other slayers talking about their hoards and realizes he has a lot of vinyls in his house.

-> Erik/Cobra hoards miscellaneous stuff that catches his eye for longer than 5 seconds. Usually, it's small and he got in the habit of hiding everything in places he marks to find later, since he never had the stability of having a nest/cave/territory that belongs to him until after he was pardonned with the rest of Crime Sorcière.

-> Wendy hoards tea sets. She loves them, she loves to look at them, and each time she can find one that calls to her, she'll buy it and add it to her hoard. She also has a special tea set for visitors. It is the only tea set that people other than her and Charle/Carla can use or touch. Noone outside of the slayers, exceeds and Levy know that.

- The god and demon slayers also have biological modifications to get closer to the creatures they have the ability to "slay". Gray has little horns that his hair hides, he has night vision, which makes his eyes reflective in the dark (something that has freaked out a few guild members and people he had to fight against) and his teeth are very SHARP, although they're smaller than dragon slayer fangs and narrower.

- Juvia has had a very stern talking to by Cana, Mira and Erza about her harassing of Gray. Gajeel was not happy to see her so despondent afterwards, but when she explained what happened, he gently told her that it was something she needed to hear, because her behaviour was not OK. She still struggles with obsessive behaviour, low self-esteem and anxiety, but she gets help from Mest.

- Gray and Juvia have a talk when Juvia realizes that she does not want to be that person, and they finally get to have a healthy friendship. No romance, though, as Juvia finally grows out of her unhealthy obsession with Gray and realizes that's not what love is supposed to be.

- As a coping mechanism for... everything, Juvia bakes. A LOT. And she offers her confections to everyone in the guild. You know she is having a bad time if she brings a lot of pastries, and if it lasts for more than a day, it's very bad. Mira and Gajeel have developed a system without meaning to when that happens. Mira works on getting Juvia to cheer up and Gajeel gets her to open up to him.

- Mest never turned Brandish against August. Nuh-uh. No sir, he definitely did NOT. Also no pedophilic thoughts about Wendy. He finds her warm and adorable and he loves her as a little sister, thank you very much. He was also head over heels about Lahar and it took years to get over his death. He is understandably very weary of falling in love. He also develops a crush for Macbeth/Midnight after Crime Sorcière was legalized and the members came to mingle with Fairy Tail more often.

- Most of the members of the younger generation, at least, are not heterosexual (because sexuality is a freaking continuum, people). I might expand on this at a later date if anyone is interested.

- Jellal and Erza have a very serious talk and both work on their Tower induced trauma for years before they decide they might want to try a romantic relationship. Jellal is the one that has the most difficulty healing from the past and seeing Erza as a person instead of his saviour/deliverance/light and stops putting her on a pedestal.

- Erik talks to Kinana about Cubellios and how he thinks she might be his lifelong friend. Since Kinana has bad amnesia, she asks Mest to help her retrieve her memories, and, although everything is still quite hazy, she remembers her attachment to Erik. They slowly work through her memories, but Erik is very respectful and does not push Kinana into anything, he just wants to know her, and, maybe, if that could happen, his friend back. They end up slowly falling in love.

- Juvia is like a little sister to Gajeel. He is very protective of her, and she is the only reason he joined Fairy Tail. They stay close through the years, and Juvia ends up being the godmother of Gajeel's and Levy's children. Juvia is understably over the moon and spoils the heck out of her nephew and niece.

- The original appearance of most of the Celestial spirits is quite different than what it is nowadays. Leo/Loke's original appearance is closer to his Eclipse Celestial Spirits ark than his current one. He is a fighting spirit, after all.

- As there are 88 (accepted) constellations in the sky, there are 88 keys. The silver and gold ones are the most known, but there is another set: the platinum keys. Those keys are as powerful as the gold keys, but not much is known about them.

- Since opening a key gate demands so much magic power, celestial wizards have slowly decreased in numbers. Celestial magic is coming closer to becoming a lost magic every year. It does not help that Celestial wizards are so often used by dark guilds as sacrifices for dark intents.

- Many civilians think that, because there are "light" guilds and "dark" guilds, some magic powers are considered dark and light too. Which, in turn, makes them afraid of any kinds of magic that is not in the accepted definitions of "light". That's one of the reasons why Freed, Mirajane and Bickslow hated their born magic for so long. It took them years or even decades to stop the self-hate, with the help of their friends and family.

- Since the awakening of his etherious nature, Natsu has been terrified of losing control. Which made him train harder and subtly distance himself from the guild. Of course, the other slayers, Erza, Gray and Lisanna saw right through him and Lisanna confronted him about it and he spilled the beans.

- NaLi is a thing. They're very cute together. Natsu is not interested by sex (yep, he's asexual), but he loves the proximity with Lisanna so sometimes they do have sexy time, but not often at all.

- Mira is a big gossip, and she does the shipping thing, and she does try to imagine ship-kids, but when someone tells her they're uncomfortable/they don't want kids or she sees that she makes them so, she stops and apologizes and never does it again. Because Mirajane is a respectful friend that does not push her friends and family to follow patriarcal societal rules, thank you very much.

- Gray inherited his devil slayer magic genetically. So he was born with it. But it was dormant or sealed until Silver awakened it (it makes more sense that way, in my mind).

- Fairies did exist, but they are extinct in Earthland. They do still survive in another dimension with other elf-like beings (because I said so and because I like the idea of a Sidh in-universe, because travelling to parallel universes is a thing, so there!)

- Talking about that, there's a difference between parallel universes (Edolas) and dimensions (the place where Angel's "angels" dwell). A parallel universe is a different kind of world on the same "wavelength" as the one Fairy Tail exists, and a different dimension is in the same universe, BUT on a different level (you know, the 2D, 3D and so on, and so forth). But because I do not want to go full-on-nerd-mode-that-will-never-stop-talking-about-the-thing, I'll stop here.

- Minerva and Rogue are a couple and you cannot tell me otherwise.

- Talking about the saberkitties, that guild desperately needed to heal after Jiemma. It took them a lot of work to get to a level where everyone began to trust in their guildmates and the guild itself. Minerva is the one that had the hardest time, as she was the daughter of the abusive jerk and his favoured and longest victim.

- She also had the hardest time after Tartaros, because it took months for her to have a human body again. Sting, Rogue, Orga and Rufus were there every step of the way for her. She loves them with all her shriveled little dark heart.

- She stays a badass with some violent and cruel tendencies, but she's mostly awkward, nowadays. She feels most comfortable with Rufus and Rogue because they're calm and quiet. She also adore Frosch.

- It took Yukino months to decide that she might possibly want to rejoin a guild. She goes to Sabertooth to confront her bad treatment and the trauma from her excommunication and has the longest talk with Sting, although she sees that he's far from his cocky, rambunctious, confident self (because Tartaros + losing his dad + Minvera stuff going on). They have a heart to heart and Sting apologizes profusely about how he acted until the Eclipse gate thing. She accepts his apology, but still hesitates to rejoing the guild. Noone pushes her, but Sting asks her to at least stay around for a few days so that the other guild members can see her. She does, and gets apologies from everyone. However, she does not see Minerva, and since she was one of the biggest offenders when it came to bullying in the guild, she really wanted to confront her, but the situation is explained to her. Yukino rejoins the guild after a few weeks of hard thinking, and patiently waits for her very needed conversation with Minerva, although she does not push for it when she knows that things must definitely not be easy for the spatial mage.

- Orga is half Fioran and half Encan. That's why he weats the clothes he does, and has the tatoos. The facial paint he has during the GMG is because of a warrior tradition from Enca. He goes to visit his maternal family at least once a year. Although noone outside of his friend circle (which was noone during Jiemma's tenure) knows of that tidbit about his background.

- Freed, Rufus and Lucy are all from high society, but they never mingled or even talked. Freed's father was very strict and rarely allowed him to go to parties because he was never good enough, and then when his magic realized itself, he was too ashamed of the creature that was his son to even consider it. Rufus, on the other hand, was too young, but he saw Lucy from afar. He just never talked to her. Freed only knew of Lucy's name, but Lucy wasn't aware of him at all, because she would do anything to not do a good impression.

- Talking about Lucy, she is very sensitive to any kinds of comments about her physical appearance due to a childhood with the pressure of having to look like a perfect breedable doll, due to her father's expectations and just high society. Because she was seen more as an asset than a human being. And even though she rebelled about all the expectations, she internalized them still. She still struggles about it.

- Another thing she struggles with is: independance and freedom. Two things she never really had until she decided to flee her home. That's one of the reasons she kind of lets Natsu drag her on adventures too, because making decisions for her life and having the responsibility of her own destiny freaks her out and gives her major anxiety. She even had panick attacks about those.

- Lisanna had a very hard time getting used to Edolas, but also getting used to being back to Earthland. Her siblings and close friends (aka Natsu and Happy)? Even more so. Lots of angst and not believing it to be true and stuff. Also, she had quite a bit of difficulty reconnecting her Earthland friendships. She tended to see the guild as their Edolas versions for a while. But now everything's fine.

- The Raijinshuu bonded over their eye magic and their respect for Laxus, because he was the one to help them and make them join the guild.

- Laxus, under his not-approachable, cocky veneer, is just a very awkward sweetheart that has no idea how to interact with humans outside his three friends. He exudes big introvert energy and you cannot tell me otherwise.

- After the war, Laxus is lost. He does not know what to do without his grandpa. But the guild has to go on, so he tries to hide his grief and buries himself in work, because there is a lot to do. Of course his team sees it and with a lot of coaxing, he does properly mourn Makarov. He also goes to Porlyusica to talk about him and get help with his lungs (because there's scar tissue caused by the bane particles still there).

- For weeks on end, Erza and Laxus talk about who should be the next master, even though Laxus does not even want to take on the role anymore. And because no consensus is reached with just them, they decide to have a guild poll and let everyone choose their favoured candidates (could even be someone else, they do not care). In the end, poor Laxus still ends with the responsibility, and when he discovers all the paperwork his grandfather left, he nearly has a breakdown. Fortunately, Freed comes to the rescue, and when she hears about it, Lucy also helps. Lucy gets closer to the Raijinshuu and the new master that way and Freed, Laxus and her talk at length about their childhood, expectations and the verbal abuse they had to live through.

- When he discovers the amount of money that team Natsu makes the guild lose every single mission, and the destructiveness of most of the guild members, he decides to change that with the help of other guilds. The new Council, hearing this, jumps on the opportunity to try and get the guilds more involved because they do not want to keep on dealing with Fairy Tail nonesense. They have better things to do.

- Hisui gets more involved in the politics of the country and tries her best to make relations better with their neighbours Bosco and Seven. Since Bosco was hit the worst by the forces of Alvarez, she also organizes humanitarian missions that she sends to all the guilds in Fiore. Getting missions from the crown is a never seen before occurrence, but she thinks that it's a cause important enough to get involved. Her project pays, as relations with Bosco thrive after that.

- This also makes the population more curious about the other countries of Ishgar, as Fiore has always been mostly self-sufficent and autocratic.

- The Raijinshuu + Laxus (also, I hate that Laxus isn't officially part of the team and they're just his followers, come ooooon!) is actually the strongest team of the guild, but since they're not official, well... it's not official. Even without Laxus, the team is very efficient and rarely destructive. They have the advantage of all the members being quick thinkers and all of them are quite strategic, and if Freed tells them to do something, they do it without question. And even though Laxus is very powerful, he is also very analytic when he goes on missions, and even in fights. (Yes, I have a bone to pick with team Natsu when it comes with how they operate. Also, that particular way they work? Well, makes Lucy and Wendy not blend with them very well)

Ok, I think that's it for today. I might add to my list of headcanons, because I have MANY (too many to count).

Here's a little list of things I'd like to tackle at one point or another:

- where all the (time travelling) dragonslayers originated from and how they came into the care of their dragons

- Fairy Tail ships, sexualities and the why (aka, why I think nearly none of the characters are straight)

- Acnologia's backstory, but done in a way that does not make him one-dimensional, because the King of dragons deserves it, thank you very much

- Why I dislike the characterization of the cast, and what would have worked better from a narrative point of view (from my point of view as a reader, writer, someone who LOVES character development, but also maybe a bit someone who's actually studied literature in Uni)

- Maybe also ways for the magic system to actually have consequences? Because in the canon material, we've got nearly nothing for the main cast and I am annoyed.

- And probably some more worldbuilding, because you know I LOVE me some worldbuilding. I also think way too much about stuff, so yay?

[eryiss]

If you like the idea, I'd love to read a Freed x Cobra, especially if it's related to the fact that Cobra can listen to his thoughts, but whatever is okay :)

Links: FFN, Ao3, Drabble Request Post

Notes: So, I had two ideas for this, and since I have no impulse control I wrote them both. Hope you enjoy them both, it was a really fun ship to write for. The other is under the cut.

Summary: Cobra didn’t want to be in Fairy Tail for the day, left to listen to their loud bullshit. But one thing stood out to him; apparently someone thinks he's handsome. That’s interesting…

Gossip

Cobra was always able to hear everything. But even for him, Fairy Tail was loud.

It was his first time in the guildhall, and he wasn't happy to be there. Fairy Tail and Crime Sorcière had professional relations, and as such needed to have a meeting of guild-masters two times a year. Jellal always insisted on having another member of the guild accompany him, supposedly as an act of good faith and proof of bygones being bygones. Cobra had, thus far, avoided being drafted into these meetings. Jellal had apparently noticed this, and all but dragged him to the damnable place.

So now, as Jellal spoke about bureaucratic tedium, Cobra was sat alone on the upper floor of the guildhall, his ears assaulted by the loud conversations. How did such a large group of people have nothing interesting to say? But with nothing else, Cobra had to listen to snippets of different conversations.

"Another beer Mirajane!"

"I'll kill you flame brain!"

"Gray you're naked!"

"But declarations of love are MANLY!"

"Freed has a crush on Cobra?"

Oh hello, now that was interesting.

Cobra was standing within a moment, walked to the banister and leant on it. It only took a moment to find the conversation, which was being held by a large man with a drawing on his face, and the bartender who wasn't Cubellios. This 'Freed' had yet to show his face, but Cobra didn't care. He just wanted to listen.

"Well, he didn't say that exactly," Face-Picture explained, leaning forward and whispering to Not-Cubellios. "But his exact words when he saw him was 'He's considerably more handsome than I was led to believe.' That's basically a declaration of love from him."

Hm, considerably more handsome? Cobra would have to find out just how handsome he was. He continued listening.

"What's Freed going to do about it?" Not-Cubellios asked, looking across the guildhall,

"What do you think?" Face-Picture scoffed. "Nothing. He never does anything when he finds a guy hot, it's annoying," Face-Picture crossed his arms, but Cobra smirked. He was hot now? Good. "He's just reading, can't exactly get laid when you're reading."

Reading? That was helpful.

Cobra looked over the guildhall in the same direction Not-Cubellios had looked. It took a moment, but he found a man sitting in the corner with a book in hand. He was the only person reading in the whole building, so clearly this was Freed. Freed, who thought him considerably more handsome than expected, and apparently thought he was hot.

Freed, who wasn't bad looking himself.

He was… regal. Like the Prince in a romance novel, but after he'd seen how tough the world is. A future king who had been roughed up and beaten by the world, and had come out better because of it. Proud and firm, but in a sexy way. Cobra had a bone deep desire to make him blush. But first, he needed more information.

His mind reading - or mind listening, technically - was something he had control over. He could block off the sounds of thoughts, but could loosen that restraint when he wanted to. So, with narrowed eyes and a gaze left on the man's sharp face, he listened to his thoughts.

It wasn't the most ethical thing, but in the list of unethical things he'd done to Fairy Tail members, that wouldn't break the top ten.

And anyway, the king in the corner was too pretty to ignore.

His thoughts were… fun to listen to. As he was reading, most of his thoughts were just what he was reading. It wasn't a book that Cobra would pick - non fiction, about an old and dead language - but Freed was rushing through it. What was most interesting was that, as well as reading the book, Freed was commenting on it in his mind. The book apparently had a lot of historical inaccuracies, and Freed seemed to be delighted every time he found a mistake. Had Freed brought the book simply to discredit it; that's what it felt like.

That was fun, he liked a guy who could be an asshole about things that didn't matter. And with that, he found himself moving, walking towards Freed.

You could get laid when reading a book. Cobra was going to prove it.

"History of the Alreyr Language?" Cobra said, rather than greeting him. "You know a lot of that book is complete crap."

Freed looked over his book, then lowered it. He looked at Cobra, his face not portraying anything. Cobra was tempted to listen to the man's thoughts just to know what he thought about him up close, but the quick but thorough glance of Cobra's body made that pretty clear. Yes, Freed thought he was both handsome and hot, and Cobra was sure he felt the same way too.

"I do," Freed said. His voice was delightful up close. "Do you?"

"Of course," Cobra scoffed, and Freed closed the book with a look of interest. Cobra looked down to the cover, taking note of the author. "You can't trust Havers. He can't research anything but still gets published."

"I've thought that for a while," Freed mused, looking almost vindicated. He leant forward in an almost conspiratory way. "What other books of his have you endured? An informed conversation about his incompetence has been a long time coming."

Again, it wasn't ethical, but Cobra allowed himself to hear Freed's thoughts. A little white lie could be forgiven if it led to flirting. When he did read Freed's thoughts, he halted.

'You're aware I know your abilities, I hope.'

Ah.

"Damn," Cobra chuckled, unashamed at being caught out. "I should have guessed you'd know."

"You should have," Freed confirmed. "Now tell me, why exactly start a conversation with me, and why lie?"

"I started a conversation with you because I wished to meet the man who apparently thinks I'm handsome," Cobra said with a smirk, and hoped that might get the blush he wanted. It didn't work. "And I lied because I wanted to have a good conversation opener. Which worked, since we're talking."

"Damn Bickslow," Freed whispered, but of course Cobra heard. Freed spoke normally again. "And now you've spoken to me, what next?"

Cobra thought for a moment, fingers tapping on the table. "I'm wondering what I can do to make you forgive me for my lie."

"Forgive you?" Freed repeated, smiling a little. "Well, it depends on how guilty you're feeling."

"Very very guilty," Cobra assured him.

"Then the punishment must fit the crime," Freed mused, then smirked. "Take me to drinks, we can have that conversation while you're paying."

Cocky little son of a bitch. Cobra loved it.

"Sure," Cobra smirked, standing up. "I'll find someplace nice. Someplace quiet."

"Quiet?" Freed asked.

"Yeah," Cobra lowered his voice, seductively. "If I'm taking a man for drinks, he needs to know he's the centre of my world, and the only thing I'm thinking about."

And oh, there was that blush. Cobra was going to have to make Freed blush a lot more. And, with the small grin on Freed's face and the fact they were going for drinks immediately, suggested he'd have a lot of time to make Freed blush in the future. He would enjoy this.

Summary: Freed has been trying to surprise his husband on his birthday for years. This year, he's going to succeed.

Surprises

Trying to surprise your husband when your husband could hear your thoughts was difficult.

Freed was a romantic at heart, and had always enjoyed spoiling Cobra whenever the opportunity presented itself. He particularly enjoyed making Cobra's birthdays memorable for all the right reasons; the birthdays he'd had as a child had been lacking and Freed felt it his job to contrast the bad memories with better ones. As such, for all the years they'd been together, Freed had tried to surprise Cobra.

He had always failed.

The first year, it had been an accident. In planning the surprise, Freed had acted odd, and refused to tell Cobra why. Cobra had broken down in a moment of weakness, and listened to his thoughts. He'd heard all of Freed's plans, and confessed to Freed the next day. Freed had been disappointed, but knew it was a possibility. The surprise wasn't as important as making Cobra happy.

But then, a game had been made. Every year, Freed told Cobra that he'd surprise him. Every year, Cobra said Freed didn't have a chance. Every year, Cobra was right.

This year was different. This year, Freed had won.

After a lot of research, he'd found a spell that allowed him to have two trains of thought at once. It was incredibly helpful in many ways, but also meant Cobra couldn't hear all of his thoughts. On his main train of thoughts, Freed was acting normal. On his secondary train of thoughts, Freed had been plotting. And now, his plan had come to fruition.

"Hey," Cobra said, voice tired as he walked through the front door. "What are you cookin', it smells- what?"

Cobra was gaping, looking at the kitchen. Part of the surprise had been cooking Cobra his favorite meal, which was no doubt assaulting his senses at that moment. The kitchen table had also been covered in candles, as well as a large vase of rare venomous lilies that Cobra once confessed were his favorite flowers. Cobra continued to look between the table and Freed.

"Surprise," Freed stated, trying and failing to hide how smug he was feeling.

"How the hell did you-" Cobra began, seemingly dumbstruck. "How did you hide this from me?"

"I'm not telling you. You'll find a way to avoid it next year," Freed chuckled, walking to Cobra, taking him by the waist and kissing him slowly. When they pulled apart, Cobra had a tired, loving smile on his face. "How was the mission?"

"Tough, glad to be back," Cobra had the soft expression on his face that he only showed to Freed. "This is so nice, Freed. I've never been surprised before. It's… you're amazing, Grassnake."

"I'm glad you like it," Freed smiled. He loved the nickname that, at first, had been a joke, but now was genuine. "Dinner will be a little while longer. I've run a bath for you to have before you eat."

"You didn't need to do that," Cobra argued, but Freed knew he wasn't going to turn the bath down. "The dinner is more than enough."

"You're incredibly incorrect about that," Freed chuckled. "We've been together for nine years, and for nine years I've failed to surprise you. Meaning that, this weekend, I've got nine years of surprises to give to you."

"Nine years, huh?" Cobra quirked an eyebrow.

"Nine years," Freed confirmed. "And given that I'm in a good mood, I'll allow you to see at least one of those surprises now."

Rather than speaking, Freed allowed one of his plans to swap from his secondary train of thoughts to his dominant one. It was a particularly exciting surprise; all the things he and Cobra would be doing in bed together that night. It seemed Cobra heard all of those thoughts within an instant, because he had a smirk on his face that made him look exactly like a snake ready to strike.

"Hm," Cobra hummed. "If this is what happens when you surprise me, I'll put up less than a fight."

"I hope not," Freed said. "I quite like the sense of victory. It will spur me on for later."

"Bet it will, Grassnake," Cobra purred. "You joining me in that bath?"

"I'm disappointed you even have to ask," Freed grinned.

They kissed once more, and Freed melted into his husband. He had met Cobra by chance in the guildhall, and he was the luckiest man in the world for that. And to make sure the man knew it, he would fill the rest of his life with surprises.

"Hm," Cobra hummed again. "You're so poetic in your thoughts."

"Be quiet," Freed chuckled. "Happy Birthday, Erik."

"Thanks, Grassnake."
