Fran -x- Dino
Fran sighed as he reached up and tried to get around the huge hat on his head to reach the top shelf, this was so pointless. There was no use. He couldn't possibly get it down and there was no way he was going to ask for help. He let out another dispassionate sigh. He couldn't think of any way to get it down and it would take a good ten minutes to illusion-up a stool solid enough for him to trust it. Just as he was about to give in to just making the -damn- stool already, a blond head poked its way in through the door of the storage closet. Dino waved a hand in, "Hello! Need some help?" Fran smiled, 'well this was convenient…' Then Dino tripped over his own feet and both of them ended up on the floor. Fran suddenly started having second thoughts. He didn't think that this newcomer would be very helpful at all…
"ha ha! Guess I slipped a little!" Dino laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, that's fine, senpai, but my legs are starting to fall asleep." Fran pointed out, dully. "Oh! Right, sorry!" Dino hurried to get up, falling twice more in the process. 'so this is what they meant by him being useless without his subordinates.' Fran sighed. As Dino got up, he deftly swiped his wallet from his back pocket. The idiot never even noticed, Fran thought with a little smirk. As the taller man stood up to reach for the box that Fran had pointed out, Fran opened the wallet. Just as he thought, he had pictures of all of his subordinates in there. 'What a cheese-ball…' Fran thought with a mental face-palm. But he had to smile in spite of himself. Just then, Dino managed to drop a completely different box, directly on his head from the top shelf. "Ah! I am so sorry! It just slipped!" Dino cried out, trying to catch it, unsuccessfully. He was blushing deeply now. Fran straightened, "It's all right, senpai, this ridiculous hat protected me." Fran jerked a thumb upwards. Dino laughed heartily making Fran blush just a little. 'okay,' Fran thought 'time to actually get this stupid box down.' He concentrated hard, closing his eyes softly, tuning out Dino's grunts of effort.
Just then, Romario poked his head in, "Boss! Is everything all right!" Dino quickly grabbed the required box, set it in Fran's hands, and turned to him. "Romario! You had a job to do! Aren't you supposed to be calling together everyone for a meeting! Get going!" Fran slowly opened his eyes as Romario's head disappeared through the door again, illusion gone. "Here's your wallet, senpai." Fran handed over the leather trifold wallet. "What—when did you…?" Dino stuttered. Fran blushed yet again as their fingers brushed against each other while Dino took the wallet. "You must have dropped it when you tripped." Fran lied with a straight face. "O-oh." Dino looked confused. "So what's in the box?" Fran cracked a smile. "These are my comic books, the fake prince hid them from me." Dino looked concerned, "Why would he do that?" Fran shrugged, "He didn't like walking into my room and getting caught in between Wolverine and Batman sparring." Dino's eyes widened, "You can DO that?" Fran grinned and helped Dino up from where he had just tripped. "Yeah, you ever wanted to see what Carmen Elektra vs Wonder Woman would look like?" Dino started drooling despite himself. "Would I ever!"
