"Ushishishishi~… I swear I will kill that shark peasant once we get back at the headquarters." Bel muttered as his chesire cat-like grin erupted at his face. Even though the prince was smiling, you could feel some strong waves of murderous aura around him. It was too much that you will cower away and never cross his way again.
"No matter how many death threats you say right now stupid senpai, we are already soaking wet. The least we could do is hurry up and find somewhere to get ourselves dry. Unless you want to enjoy the icy evening rain of course." Fran countered in his monotone voice.
Well of course, the evening rain would feel like ice in the month of December. The stupid captain didn't even warn them about the weather. The result is them getting a nice shower under the freezing evening rain.
It was already 12:51 am and yet the two assassins of Varia are still out because of some mission that doesn't even have the complete details when it was given by Squalo.
And it was their fault to begin with.
Flashback….
It was another peaceful day at the Varia HQ, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and everything seems to be very peaceful and quiet—
"VOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIII!" Squalo's loud voice echoed throughout the whole estate followed by the sound of a glass breaking, another shout then, line of curses.
Sorry, let me rephrase that… it was a usual chaotic day at the Varia HQ.
Squalo entered the living room together with his loud annoying voice and his other hand holding few sheets of papers, waving it in the air indicating the urgency. "Bel! Fran!"
The shark of Varia tried to call the attention of the two other member who are 'busy doing their stuffs'. And when we say 'busy doing their stuff', this is generally composed of Fran sitting on a sofa reading an unknown book, earphones stuck on his ears with its full volume on, and Bel grinning madly as he throw knives on his kouhai, making him a target practice hoping to be able to cut the illusionist's real flesh which he still haven't guessed right.
For short, Squalo was ignored.
Invisible anger marks appeared on Squalo's head, his temper rising very fast.
.
..
…
"VOOOOOIIIII! Fucking brats! I'll kill you!" And his voice echoed again throughout the Varia estate but this time ten times louder, which made the 'brats' stop and look at him.
"Oh, stupid long-haired captain, you were here." Fran looked at the swordsman with a supposed to be surprised look (though his lack of facial expressions didn't reflect it perfectly) and he didn't even bother to remove the earphones, he knew that his ears would suffer more if he did.
"Ushishishishi…The shark is too noisy, it made the prince miss his target." Bel pointed out the knife that embedded itself on the wall. It accidentally hit the wall instead of Fran, when he was startled by the captain's voice.
"Senpai, why don't you just admit that it was because you've been blinded by your bangs that you missed and you are just guessing your targets through your sense of smell that would've been more convincing."
Five knives automatically hit Fran, but the illusionist doesn't seem to be hurt or bothered by it.
"Ouch."
"Ushishishishi…"
"VOOOOOIIII! Just get out already and start the fucking mission!"
"Mission?" Bel and Fran said in unison.
"Just go already, shitty brats!"
The two made a dash out of the estate as Squalo started swinging his sword that is dangerously aiming at them. True enough, there is a car waiting for them outside, obviously going to take them to their next mission.
But seriously, where is the mission? They don't remember the swordsman saying the details back then.
At the Varia's living room…
Lussuria heard Squalo's shout from the kitchen and decided to check it out. He was right on time to see when the swordsman tried to chase Bel and Fran and kill them.
Wearing a frilly pink apron.
Go imagine guys.
"Fucking brats!" the swordsman practically hissed.
"Arara~ you forgot to tell them the details Squ-chan~" the Gaylord commented, noticing the papers that are still intact in Squalo's hands and the two assigned assassins not carrying anything at all, aside from their weapons that are always intact with them. It was a protocol, they are always to be prepared for any battle in case that there are missions that are urgent and needs to be executed right away. The others are fine with it seeing their boss carries his guns wherever he goes (which is practically in his office all day).
"I don't give a damn! It was their fault that they didn't listen!" And the silver-haired swordsman stormed out of the room, leaving the summary of the mission behind.
The Gaylord sighed exasperatedly while looking at the files that Squalo was about to give the two assassins of Varia. "Will Bel-chan and Fran-chan be alright?"
A smell of something that is about to burn started to fill out the whole room.
"Oh, the cake I was baking! My!" And Lussuria hurriedly went back to the kitchen.
At Bel and Fran…
A few minutes later inside the car….
"Senpai, did you ask for the details?"
"Ushishishishi.. the prince didn't ask."
"What are we going to do?"
"Don't ask the prince, frog"
"Okay."
End of flashback~
After a few minutes, they were already soaking wet.
Why?
Because it suddenly rained just after they managed to finish the mission that they didn't have any idea on. Thanks to their conclusions and Bel's eyes which happened to see a glimpse of the paper that the swordsman was holding, they were able to draw some assumptions on what they are supposed to do. And being the great assassin they are, mission was over in just a few hours. The two left the scene full of blood (courtesy of Prince the Ripper of course)
"Ushishishishi… it was all thanks to the prince!"
"Whatever senpai." Saying nothing further, Fran continued walking trying to find some place where they could stop for a while in this heavy rain. He spotted an abandoned warehouse and started to walk towards it, his senpai following him with quite a distance.
Unknown to Fran, Bel was trying to stop himself from sneezing. The Prince himself didn't realize that it would rain, and in the month of December no less! But there's no way in hell that he would let the frog know about his situation. He knew the brat's ability to insult people and he's not going for in for that.
Ushishishi.. looks like there's something wrong with the prince.
Known to everybody, Bel never missed any chance to fight with his frog, and make him a target practice. It was already a routine, there had been bets between lower ranking members of Varia if Bel would be able to restrain himself from stabbing his poor kouhai.
Yet there he is, thinking that he should refrain himself from getting insulted by the frog, so that he wouldn't be needing to throw his knives onto Fran.
"Senpai, you are slow. You really enjoy the evening rain don't you or you just plan to catch some colds so you can say that you are not an idiot at all?" Fran called out from the warehouse seeing that his senpai isn't inside yet. Looking back, he saw the prince standing in the middle of the rain, he wasn't that sure if he was looking at him or his eyes were closed because of his stupid bangs.
Even though senpai's hair is wet, it really doesn't make any change at all. His face is still covered. Only that he looked a bit like his stupid twin brother.
They are twins, why on Earth would not they be looking alike? Fran's sarcastic side retorted.
There are those we call fraternal twins. He tried to argue.
The hell they are fraternal, they look alike aside from hairstyle.
My am I arguing with myself anyways?
I don't know.
Fran stared at nothing. "Senpai's insanity rubs off."
A knife flew towards Fran's direction but to his surprise the knife only flew near his face. Not even scratching him. And this is an unusual phenomenon for the Prince the Ripper of Varia which doesn't miss on his knives.
"Don't think about it frog." And Bel went inside the warehouse.
"Okay, I won't." But knowing Fran's nature to insult people, he really can't stop.
"But you really look like your stupid twin— oh." Fran tried to shut himself up as Bel, in a matter of a few seconds was able to get behind him, a knife already pointed to his neck. Even though he couldn't see his senpai, he could clearly imagine that large chesire grin that he currently having right now.
"Ushishishishi… Are you sure you want to say it froggy~?" Bel whispered dangerously close to Fran's ears, it was almost a hiss. Even though a playful tone was used, deadly venom was attached to it. And unless Fran really wanted to lose his head so badly at the very moment he might as well add many insults on his speech.
Fran gulped, waiting who's going to move next.
Is he going to lose his head or not?
But he still has many things that he wants to do.
Like removing the froghat,
Making his hero pose,
Making his senpai nice to him..
Stop
Scratch that part.
He knew that is never going to happen.
But going back to the topic…
"…"
If I try to make the first move, senpai will obviously remove my froggy head. Fran mentally frowned. And since when did I refer myself as a frog?
.
..
…
Fran felt the knife pointing on his neck disappeared. When he turned around, he saw his senpai, playing his other knives in the air, one indication that he got tired or he grew bored of a thing. He mentally sighed, thanking that his head is still attached from his body. Even though his head always feels heavy, courtesy of the frog hat that Bel forced him to wear, being beheaded isn't listed in his notebook "the plans I want to do before I say 'This World Sucks and I'm Committing Suicide!'"
Fran followed his senpai.
(~PAGEBREAK~)
The two assassins of Varia are in front of a bonfire. How they managed to lit it up, don't ask me. They were just able to light a fire inside a warehouse. Don't worry, there's nothing harmful in the warehouse. Just bricks.
There was an odd silence between the two. None of them had been talking ever since Bel stopped when he is about to kill Fran. The frog didn't talk either. Talking with his senpai in his unpredictable mood will ensure your meeting a grim reaper, if such thing exists.
Besides, Fran is still trying to figure what is odd about his senpai. Bel maybe still in his 'Fake Prince attitude' (based on Fran's thoughts) but something is still off.
"Bel-senpai-"
"Shut it Frog the prince is sleeping."
"Oh. So… Bel-senpai is sleep-talking?"
"…"
A knife landed on Fran's hat.
"Kero~"
The two stayed quiet for until the rain stopped and the sun is already up. It was Bel who first went out and Fran put out the fire.
"Let's go, Fran."
"Coming, senpai!" He said, running towards Bel.
Oh wait, did the stupid fake prince senpai called me… Fran?
Fran looked at the skies.
Is the world coming to an end?
Fran looked at his senpai.
He didn't grow another head.
Fran pinched himself, though he knew that it doesn't hurt.
I'm not yet dead.
Fran observed the whole place.
There's no sign of illusions.
Another stab on his hat made his attention get back to reality again.
Maybe I just heard it wrong. It's impossible for senpai to call me by my name.
When Fran and Bel arrived at the headquarters…
"Okairi~ Bel-chan~ Fran-chan~" Guess who.
The Gaylord greeted them as they passed the living room.
"Oh my! Is that blood on your uniforms? Are you hurt somewhere?"And being the 'mother-figure' in the group, the Gaylord panicked when he saw the blood on their uniforms. It was a usual thing really. But Lussuria somehow can't get used to it.
I mean, How come an assassination would be executed when there is no blood. Especially when it comes to assassinations that are assigned to Belphegor.
"It's nothing, Lussuria-senpai… just got dirtied because of senpai…"
"Oh. Better get to your room and change your clothes. I heard that it rained on your mission."
"Hai." The two went to their rooms to change.
Fran turned to Bel. "Senpai, who will make the report?"
"It's already obvious. YOU."
Fran mumbled. "I shouldn't have bothered asking."
"I heard you Fran."
"Bel-senpai, you actually have ears? I noticed, just now."
"Shut it." Then a loud bang of the door followed. It was Bel's door.
"… Did senpai called me 'Fran' again? Or I'm getting crazy being infected by the fake prince during our mission. I didn't know it was actually contagious." The illusionist shrugged.
"I better get some medication from the Gaylord." Fran left the place and went straight to his room.
At exactly three steps away from the prince's room, Fran remembered something. "Oh, I thought senpai was going to kill the stupid long-haired captain. He was very much looking forward on getting back here at the headquarters."
Inside Bel's room…
The prince went straight to bed as he got inside his room. He didn't even bother to change his clothes of wash himself off the blood. He just jumped on his bed, not even minding that he is still wearing his boots and immediately went to sleep.
He knew something was really off with him after that rain. He was aware when he called his kouhai "Fran" and not "frog". But somehow he can't stop himself from doing so. The prince also found it interesting to look at the eyes of his kouhai doubting himself if the prince really called him by his name.
But never is he going to admit that!
Over his dead princely body!
That's what he likes to say but it looks like he cannot control himself from blurting out things he don't usually say.
"The prince is odd."
Bel grinned wider.
"Because I'm a prince ushishishishishi…"
(~Pagebreak~)
