"You need a fucking life, trashy prince."
Bel sneered as he looked over his shoulder at the long-haired man who had just walked into his room uninvited at three in the morning. The intruder's features were shadowed by the light of the computer screen the blond was sitting in front of in the otherwise blackened room, but he didn't need to see his guardian's face to know that the other was annoyed; the man's tone said it all. "Says the snarky sharky who was out partying all night. I can see the hickies on your neck."
"Voi!" Squalo tugged his jacket tighter around his body in a self-conscious manner as his face flushed. "Fuck up! Get some damn sleep; you have school in the morning!"
"I don't want to go to school." Bel leant back in his computer chair and crossed his arms behind his head. "See, the new expansion of one of my games comes out tomorrow and I plan to spend the whole day on it."
"You're going to school, trash. You spend too much time playing videogames."
"If sharky boss doesn't keep his voice down, he's going to wake up everyone else. And then everyone else is going to be mad at him. Ushishi~"
"Voi, you little bastard! You –"
The boy waved his hand dismissively before he spun back around to face his computer. "- If sharky boss doesn't mind, I'm busy with the auction house. I've almost capped my gold limit on my sixth character now. The prince needs to concentrate, and he can't do that when he is going deaf in this moment. Please leave and go to bed."
"You'd better get up and go to school tomorrow morning, because if I come home and I find you still in this damn room, you're in huge trouble." With that said, the door was slammed shut as Squalo left to go to his own room.
Bel laughed before his attention went back to his videogame. He couldn't say he disliked his foster home, because as loud as it was, it amused him greatly. He knew he was lucky to have been placed here, and it was times like these where he could almost thank his past that had led to no one else wanting to foster him; he had a feeling he could never be as happy anywhere else as he was here.
"Wait until sharky comes home tomorrow for lunch and finds I ditched school again~ Shishishi~" By now, he had finished what he had been doing on his videogame, so he logged out and turned the monitor off; there wasn't much else he needed to do on his game because he had already spent so much time on it, he had managed to complete things that people who had started playing long before him still hadn't been able to do.
The boy's footsteps were silent as he treaded to the other side of the room in order to curl up in his mess of blankets, and once he recovered the TV remote that had been tangled in amongst them, he turned his TV on next. He picked a movie from the external hard drive he had plugged into the TV, too excited to sleep; he giggled and rolled around like a turtle on its back as he planned out his day. He would go to school to get his name marked off so they didn't call Squalo and ask where he was, and then he would leave to go and get his new game and come home, drink as much caffeine as he could, and play and play and play until he fell asleep on his keyboard again.
Or until Squalo came and pried him off the computer to force him to take a break. Whichever one came first.
Tomorrow was going to be a good day – and if Squalo came home and realised he was skipping school again, it was going to be great.
