He sighed as he carried the Baby with the weird frog on his head. These weren't princely duties. He entertained thoughts of ten thousand ways to beautifully carve the infant. Lost in his thoughts and unable to see very well under the thick mat of golden hair that hung down from under his tiara, Prince Belphegor walked headlong into Squalo, who had just made a turn onto the same narrow hallway in the Varia Base.

"VOOOIIIIII!!!! Watch where you're going! And cut your fucking hair so you can see!"

"Shut up before I turn you into a cactus," Bel said as he brandished a handful of 15 knives.

"Try Me!" Squalo said as he lifted his Wrist-sword threateningly. Lissuria waltzed into the hallway, completely oblivious to the mounting tension.

"Cookies, Cookies! Hot, hot HOT!" Lissuria chimed as he entered the hallway wearing an apron over his usual uniform and oven mitts on his hands. "Want one Squalo?" Lissuria" said as he held out the plate.

"Vooiiii! I have better things to do than consume cookies!" With that, Squalo stormed off in the general direction of Xanxus' office.

"Did I Hear Lissuria say Cookies?" Levi asked as he poked his head into the hallway.

"Yes I did Levi," Lissuria cooed. He loved Levi A. Thon but could never quite come around to telling him, so he threw him subtle hints.

"I love your Cookies!" Levi said as he grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Be; sat on the floor for a while, and then cleared his throat. Once he was satisfied that Levi was no longer trying to nibble on Lissuria, he declared "I hereby pronounce these to be royal cookies!" Bel then snatched the plate.

"Give the cookies back!" Levi yelled as he pulled out one of his umbrellas.

"Or what," Bel challenged. Levi backed down as Bel held up the knives he still had from his confrontation with Squalo.

"Fine, take those, me and Lissuria were just heading into the kitchen to make more!" Levi grabbed Lissuria by the hips and pushed him into the kitchen, watching his hips wiggle the whole way.

"They should just get together, huh Mammon… Mammon?" It was then that Bell realized the infant was gone. "Oh well," Bel sighed as he munched a cookie. "These are good!" Bel sat and munched cookies contently in the narrow hallway.

Squalo Headed down the hall and knocked on Xanxus' office door. "Come In." Squalo entered the dark room. "What do you want?" Xanxus said coldly.

"The mission was successful, the target was eliminated, and the message was sent," Squalo reported formally.

"Any further business affairs?" Xanxus asked in a disinterested fashion.

"No, Sir." For a few seconds, He stood there, staring at Xanxus, and after a few seconds "VOOOIIIIIII! I MISSED YOU!" Squalo detached his wrist-blade and leaped over the desk into the lap of his lover.

"I missed you too," Xanxus said as he pressed their lips together.

Levi groped Lissuria as he put the cookies in the oven. "Well," Lissuria said with a slight blush. "The cookies are in the oven and we have 20 Minutes till they're ready." Lissuria moved his body closer toward the former lighting guardian.

"Well," Levi blushed at his proximity to Lissuria. "We, maybe, if you want to--"

"Dammit, He loves you Lissuria, and he feels the same way Levi" Bel said as he entered the room. He was highly aggravated because he couldn't find his arcobaleno.

"Really?" mumbled Levi, his blush deepening.

"Yeah" Lissuria said shyly. Levi Grabbed Lissuria's wrist and dragged him into his room.

20 minutes later, Bel was sitting on a counter in the kitchen and a timer went off. He checked in the oven and discovered the cookies. "Yay, More royal cookies!" Bel chimed. He placed the cookies on a silver platter, along with a glass of milk and headed towards his room.
