12-year-old Freed wants to join Fairy Tail, but he's worried he's not good enough. How can a real wizard be scared of thunder and lightning? During a thunderstorm, he meets a boy who has embraced the thing he fears most. If Freed wants to be Laxus' friend, he first needs help to cure his astraphobia.

On a snowy night in a church, Freed and Laxus find solace, not in gods, but in each other. "We worship that which we adore most in this life," Laxus said softly. "Ain't nothing sacrilegious about that."

One bed, four Raijinshuu. They attempt to sleep all close together, but Laxus has a little problem. It's all Freed's fault. He's the one purposely thrusting up against Laxus' groin, driving him crazy. Devious and dominant Freed!
