#I mean does it matter this anime came out in 2009 I'm posting screencaps of the 2014 season with English dub quotes

I need to write this down for me for my brain but I found the exact moment Laxus realized he’s in love with Freed and probably immediately asked him out very bluntly because he seems like the kinda guy to just say stuff like it’s no big deal and I’m putting it under the Read More because I screen capped a lot of stuff leave me alone

Episode 225 (Season 7, Episode 50) Lighting Man

There right there Laxus told Freed to contain the explosion, we Do Not see Freed move until after Laxus has launched his attack, and yet he still managed to write a protective inscription and contain the blast. “You’re quick on your feet, as always” says Laxus.

I say it’s this moment here is Laxus’ romantic awakening he was already aware he was gay but he just didn’t think he was really into anyone at the moment until right here and probably on their way back Laxus says very casually he and Freed should go out, giving the rest of the Thunder Legion a heart attack.

I take this as my proof because two episodes later is the first time we see Laxus acknowledging and even permitting Freed’s gentle romantic advances;

Episode 227 (Season 7, Episode 52) Morning of a New Adventure

“I’d be happy to scrub your back for you.”

“Huh? Sure. Why not.”

“You sure are in a good mood, Freed”

“Sure that has nothing to do with how close you are to Laxus.”

“Please let me work in peace”

“Rub it good, ya hear?”

“With pleasure!”

“Get every last inch of my body too” (in direct mirror to the Lesbian flirting they can hear over the wall from Flare Corona whomst I also love)

Oh my fuckin god these bitches fucking gay good for them good for them - Bickslow witnessing Laxus be affectionate for the very first time live

This is all to say up until this episode Laxus more than avoided Freed’s affections (though in my mind not on purpose I don’t think he really Got It) like turning him down for a dance at the King’s Banquet

and you know. Having on screen interactions like this

It took 7 and a half seasons but congrats Laxus and Freed are together finally.
