/This/ is my actual first fanfiction, and I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

I hope you enjoy!

It hurts.

I want to open my eyes, but my body won't listen to me. There's something there. Something, or someone's touching me. What is it? Who's touching me? This feeling... I've felt it before, but where? I can't remember. Why can't I remember? Huh? I can hear a voice. Whose voice is that? It sounds familiar. But, whose?

"-gy!"

I know this voice.

"-oggy!"

I know it.

"Froggy! Stay with me!"

Gasp! It's senpai's voice. Why does his voice sound so pained? Is he the one holding me?

"Froggy, don't you die on me!"

Die? Am I dying? Is senpai crying? I don't know what's going on. My head hurts, but I want to know. Why is senpai crying? Why does it hurt? Why...?

Two hours earlier

"Hey, Froggy, are you ready?" Bel asked as he approached Fran, grinning. "Let's go have some fun!"

"Senpai. Can't you guys concentrate on the mission for once?" Fran replied in his casual monotoned voice. "Today's mission is going to be tough."

"Tch, it's not like we can't handle it. As long as you let me do the killing, ushishi!" Bel was playing with his knives, making sure they were sharp, and polished.

"Sure, sure, senpai."

"Then let's go, froggy!" Bel came up to Fran, and pulled him by his collar out the door.

"Senpai, will you please let me go? I can't breathe." Bel let Fran go, causing him to fall to the ground. "How mean." Fran got up, and brushed off the dirt from his uniform before catching up to Bel, who was waiting for the car to come around and pick them up.

"Ushishi. What's today's mission about again~?"

Fran sighed, "Today's mission is to capture or kill the 'Prince the Ripper'-mock murderer." Fran was looking at the content of the mission, in a yellow envelope. "Witnesses said that he looks exactly like you."

"Oh~ Someone wants to meet the Prince!" Bel said grinning at Fran, "Well, the prince will pay them a visit, that's for sure, ushishishi!"

Fran rolled his eye, before putting the contents back in the envelope. "Hopefully one of you dies." Fran said, being greeted with a few of Bel's knives. "Senpai That hurt." Fran said in monotone but is hit with more knives. "Please stop stabbing me."

"The prince is bored, so be his entertainment until we get there~!" Bel grabs one of his knives out of Fran, but leaves the rest. "Be honoured to be stabbed by the prince's knives!"

"Senpai, I'm 'honoured'." Fran mocks, while pulling the rest of the knives out, and bending them then throwing them on the floor.

"Hey! Don't bend them! Or toss them to the floor!" Bel panics and punches Fran's arm, before grabbing the rest from his hands. "You stupid frog."

"I'm not a stupid frog, you fake prince."

"The prince isn't fake!"

"Sure you aren't." Fran says, covering his ears to avoid listening to Bel's complaints.

"Tch! Why am I even paired up with you?" Bel was crossing his arms, looking out the window irritated.

"Senpai, it's because we're lovers." Fran whispered in Bel's ears, since Bel had neglected to realize that Fran had moved closer to him. Fran kissed the rim Bel's ear, "Isn't that right?"

Bel, of course, pushed Fran away from him. "W-we are, but don't be doing that kind of stuff on a mission!" Bel retaliated, trying to hide his blush.

"Of course, senpai" Fran said, cocking his head to one side, "but does that mean I can't kiss yo-" Bel had pulled Fran in for a kiss, a deep one at that. Both of them moving their lips against the other's. Fran had let out a soft moan, and broke the kiss. "How mean senpai. To kiss me when I wasn't expecting it."

"Ushishishi~ You liked it, so it doesn't matter." Bel had his usually eat-to-ear grin on his face as he looked at Fran through his bangs. In his eyes, Fran was extremely adorable. His beautiful sea-green eyes, and teal hair complimented his pale skin. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, even the slightest blush was seen on Fran's face. "You're blushing again!"

"Uhg!" Fran turned around to hide his face. It was so obvious he was embarrassed. "Thanks to you, senpai. I wouldn't be blushing if you didn't kiss me."

"So... you didn't want me to kiss you?"

Fran looked at Bel in panic, "Of course I wanted you to kiss me! Ah-" Fran covered his mouth once he realized what he had said, and blushed even harder. Bel was highly amused, but didn't say anything.

"We're here." The driver in the front seat turned to look at the two Varia assassins, before getting out to open the door for them. "We've reached our destination, sirs."

Both Bel and Fran got out of the car and looked around as the driver drove off. "So this is it?" Bel said, looking unamused. "What a trashy place. No place for a prince!"

Fran rolled his eyes and looked around. Both he and Bel were dropped off at a mountain mansion. It looked like it hasn't been occupied for decades, maybe half a century. The yard was overgrown, there was weeds and bugs everywhere. The light-pink paint on the building was faded, washed or peeling, and the fountain statue in the front was broken. Most of the windows were cracked or broken, like the place was robbed, the curtains that could be seen were ripped, and torn. Even the gates were rusted completely. The pillars leading up to the front down, and the pillars that held up the entrance were either cracked, or broken. Pieces of clay and redstand all over the yard.

"This place is unsightly." Fran was watching Bel complain under his breath and kick the clay pieces a few times and sighed.

"Thanks for stating the obvious, senpai." Fran mocked, avoiding the prince's knives. "Now let's go find the 'mock'-prince." Fran went up to Bel grabbed his hand and pulled him into the worn down and broken mansion, causing Bel to stagger a bit before regaining his balance. After entering the mansion, Bel kissed Fran on the cheek before running to the stairs.

"You're on your own Froggy!" Bel leaped to the second floor and was walking away, his hands behind his head, grinning.

Fran stared at Bel in disbelief. "Ah~ He ditched me. Tch. Stupid fake prince." Fran looked around. Broken sculptures, torn pictures, cobweb, cockroaches, pieces of glass, a total mess. Even the chandelier was on the ground, broken into thousands of pieces. Fran shivered in his mind, before walking into a different room.

That room was the dining room. Another complete mess. The table was broken in four different places, and the none of the chairs were in the right stance. The giant window beside the table was broken, you could clearly see the backyard. It seems like every painting and sculpture was in a broken or torn state. Even the backyard was a messed. The grass could've easily been up to Fran's knees. Looking around, Fran saw no human life, and sighed.

Fran went from room to room on the first floor. Taking in the surroundings and taking note of the little details. After exploring all the rooms, he went back to the front room to climb the stairs to hopefully find his lover and report nothing suspicious, but he saw a figure moving around on the second floor in the distance. He climed the stairs and raced to the area he saw the figure, but found nothing, until he caught movement in the corner of his eye. He turned around saw the shadow in the distance and and ran towards it. Fran turned the corner but ran straight into Bel, causing both of them to fall to the ground.

"Froggy?" Bel looked at Fran in a daze before gripping the situation. "Why are you in a ru-"

"Where did it go?" Fran cut in, suddenly gripping Bel's shoulder, surprising him and shook him. "Where did that shadow go?"

"Shadow? There was no shadow." Bel's hand was on his head, trying to keep his crown on

"There was. I saw it. That's why I ran into you!" Even though Fran was talking in his normal voice, Bel could catch the panic and force behind his words.

"I didn't see a shadow." Bel swatted Fran's hands away and stood up, before offering Fran a hand. "There's nothing on the second floor, either. How about downstairs?"

Fran too the hand without hesitation and pulled himself up. "Nothing."

"That's strange. I don't sense anyone, either."

Fran was sure he had seen something, or someone. "Can we look around? Together?" Fran said looking at Bel with desperation.

"Sure." Bel shrugged it off and started walking the way he came, but this time with Fran.

Fran was looking around, going into each broken down room, looking for this "shadow," he was so certain that someone was there, toying around with him. It wasn't an illusion, I swear it wasn't. I sense a real person. Fran was thinking to himself, looking at every details of every room. How could he disappeared? His entire presence? Even Bel didn't sense him. Fran was puzzled, and it showed on his face.

"Hey, Froggy, what's wrong?" Bel pulled Fran to a stop and cupped his hands around the boy's face. "You don't look good." Fran couldn't stop thinking, not even noticing Bel's face close to his, and when he did notice, he pushed Bel away, blushing.

"You're too close, too close! We're on a mission."

"I know we are, but your expression's showing through. What happened to that expressionless Frog?"

Fran looked down, debating on whether to tell his partner what he saw. "I swear I saw someone before I ran into you. I could feel their presence. I felt them there. So for them to disappear like that is not normal."

"Maybe they're hiding their presence? You didn't notice me when I was turning the corner, because I was hiding mine."

That's right, I didn't. Fran looked down, trying to think of the possibilities. But, still certain someone was there. Maybe, just maybe, they were luring me into a trap, but Bel-senpai saved me from it.

"Usheshe... sheshesheshe."

A laughter could be heard, causing both the assassins to to put their defenses up. Looking around the room they were in.

"Usheshe, like mice in a trap~!"

The floor collapsed, causing both Bel and Fran to fall into the floor. And this wasn't your normal fall. Both of them fell two stories, into a room under the first floor, knocking them both out for a short while.
