Franbot

Chapter 2

Life Lessons

-akane-: Hello again!

-echo-chan-: Hi!


****echo starts****

Meanwhile as Fran slept (or tried to at least, since he's a robot and all) he kept thinking about whether or not his master was okay. 'Maybe I should check up on him' he thought opening an eye. He stared at the big wooden door for a moment, debating if he should go inside. 'No, he said to never go in there...' he thought about it some more, 'well how about I don't GO inside, but just peek in?' Fran slowly opened the big heavy door, stopping when it was enough to peek in. He looked around the room; it was different from the rest of the house. And then he spotted his master, sleeping on a red king sized bed. 'He looks okay' he thought slowly drifting inside the room. When he got to the sleeping blond, his hand slowly made its way to his master's face. Fran told himself not to, but his body moved involuntarily. Millimeters away from the man's face, something (or someone) grabbed the bot's hand. Fran jumped.

The blonde yawned, the stated once again "This is the prince's area and the prince's ALONE. Why have you disobeyed a direct order?" he asked tightening his grip on Fran's wrist.

"U-u-uh..." The bot searched for words. He wasn't sure why he did that to be honest. "Sorry Sempai." He apologized quickly.

"Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut the cake, force from a blade does" he said pulling out a knife from his pocket.

If Fran could have gasped this would be the moment where he would, but he could only stare at the prince. "What-what are you going to do with that?"

"Ushishishi, what do you think? A hair cut?" he said bringing the sharp blade to the bottom of the bots chin to raise his head.

Fran closed his eyes in preparation for his punishment.

The bot never expected what happened next. Bel sat up placing his warm lips to the cold metal skin of the robot, beginning to kiss up his slender neck.

"Umm..." Fran said opening his eyes, "Bel-sempai? Is this my punishment?"

He didn't answer, just pressing a single finger to Fran's lips to shush him. He pulled the bot down on his lap and began to nibble/lick his ear.

"Sempai?" the bot spoke confused, he wasn't sure if he was supposed to like this it was a punishment after all. But he didn't not like it. He was confused, for all he knew he was a robot; he wasn't supposed to like anything. Something was odd, his head was spinning and he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do.

"mmmmmm" he mumbled in his ear. 'Why am I doing this? Why does it feel so.... right' he thought beginning to play with the soft green locks.

"Sempai... please stop..." The bot said beginning to panic.

"Why should I? You disobeyed my orders... why should I listen to your request?" he asked beginning to unbutton the lab coat.

"B-because," the boy stuttered still pretty confused, "I-I think I l-like this punishment..."

Bel stops. 'How can he like this... a robot shouldn't be able to feel right? It's metal, yet it can feel me? Man I really am a genius!' he thought. "Well then just enjoy your master" he said seductively in the bot's ear.

"Is that okay?" The bot was asked.

"Perfectly" he says continuing to unbutton the lab coat. The bots chest was pail and smooth, like glass. Bel bit hard at this ear as his hand wandered the glass like skin.

The bot wasn't sure what to do; all of this was new to him. Was he supposed to do something, and if he was, what was he supposed to do? He was nervous but anxious at the same time.

Bel pulled off the lab coat wanting to go farther. He moved him to the bed and crawled on top of him taking his cold lips in a warm kiss.

'What is this?' If the bot's head wasn't spinning before... it sure was now. He felt a pang in his chest, was he was suffering from a computer malfunction? He was happy, was that it? Or he wanted to be happy. He felt like something was missing, why couldn't he be happy? The fact that he couldn't be happy made him sad. But he couldn't be sad either, and that angered him. His emotions that he didn't have were going all over the place, Fran really started to panic now. "Sempai?" He said breaking away from their kiss, "I think I'm broken."

He stopped at his bot's words, "Broken? I don't see anything wrong with you physically" he said running his hands over every last inch of the glass like skin.

"But I feel broken Sempai."

"How? I made you without emotions..." that was the problem. No emotion, but even if Bel had wanted to give him emotion he could only express one. A constant smile, a forever frown, no second long smirk... that would bug anybody after a while. So it had no emotion. Even to give the emotion the bot couldn't feel or express that emotion. It would be worse than a mask.

"Bel-sempai... I want to be happy..."

"I'm sorry Fran, but I'm afraid I can't do that. If I was to go and change your programming you... you wouldn't be yourself. It would be a different Fran. A happy Fran, all the time... you wouldn't feel the same way you do now" he said moving off the bot and laying on his back next to him.

The bot stayed silent staring at the blond. I'm sad but I can't be sad, because I can't be happy. Lost in his unemotional emotions the bot spoke up again. "Sempai why did you make me?"

He turned to look at the bot. It had taken him two whole years to complete the bot. He had pored his heart soul into it. He had been lonely for... well his whole life. He just wanted someone to call his own.

The bot kept staring at his master, "Sempai, what am I to you?"

His eyes closed (though nobody could see) and turned hugging the bot closely.

Fran let the question go unanswered, feeling safe in the other man's arms. 'If only I could do something...'

Just as the moment had come, it had gone with a growl, a loud growl from a stomach.

Fran sat up quickly, "Sempai are you hungry?"

"W-what makes you say that frog?"

"Well your stomach is making noises..." Fran said thoughtfully, "Or was Sempai not pleased with my sandwich earlier?"

"No, no" he says waving his hands in defense "your sandwich was good. I loved it"

Fran was pleased, but he had no way of showing it, "I-I'm pleased sempai."

"Well I'm glad... and hungry. How about some chicken ramen?" he said standing and helping the bot up. "Ummmm, hold on. I will get you some proper cloths, ushishishi" he moved over to the dresser and pulled out a blue and green striped shirt and a little pair of black leather shorts.

"Do I put these on?" He said looking at the clothes questioningly.

"Ushishishi, yes. They are my gift to you. You can keep them" he sat down on the bed and waited for the bot to change.

"Thank you Sempai," The bot bowed, then looked at the clothes, "Ummm... how does this work?"

"Ushishishishi" he chuckled at the bot. "Here" he said standing and pushing the bot to the bed. He slid the shorts over his ankles and up his legs and lifted his behind and got them perfect on his waist, then buttoned the silver button.

"I'm sorry Sempai," Fran apologized trying to figure out how to get on the striped shirt.

"ushishishishi, no it's fine." he said grabbing the shirt with a smile. 'How cute' he thought slipping it over his head and pulling his arm through. The shirt was quite big for him; it hung off his shoulders and almost completely covered the little shorts.

Fran got off the bed, "Would Sempai like food now?" He looked at the blond.

"Ushishi, yes. Lets go froggy," he said grabbing the bot's hand and walking out of the door.

"What would you lie Sempai?" Fran asked not knowing he had made a mistake with his words, as they got to the kitchen. (He meant to say 'what would you like Sempai?')

He stopped in his tracks, shocked by the question. "Why do you ask" he asked the bot not turning to look at him.

"I dunno.. I was just wondering..." Fran's gaze dropped to the floor.

Bel, as well, looked at the floor. Memories of his life back in his kingdom came bubbling up. -Flashback- "I HATE YOU!" a young blond said pushing away from his mother, "I WISH YOU WERE DEAD!" of coarse he didn't mean it. He used lies to protect her. For anything he ever liked would always get taken away by his twin brother, even if it was his own mother -End Flashback- He hated his childhood. Bel had suppressed it deep in his mind never to be found again... until now. It was something he regretted, it was too much on his vulnerable mind. He collapsed on the cold stained floor.

"S-Sempai!?!" Fran rushed to the blond's side, "Sempai! Are you okay!?" He shook Bel but he got no response, he started to panic. He was still breathing, so Fran carried him back to his room (he could do that because he's a robot). He managed to get him in the bed again, but now he wasn't sure what to do. 'If only he were human...'

He was trapped in white. Nothing but white... a voice echoed through the emptiness "S-sempai~? Sempai! Are you ok!?~" it was familiar; he loved that voice, the monotone robotic sound... it was his Fran.

"Sempai?" Fran sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed. 'I want to become human... so I can be here for Bel-sempai...'

After about 30 minutes of total white, blackness began to engulf him. His body tingled as if thousands of needles were being push threw his skin at the same time, and his eyes shot open.

"Sempai!?" Fran jumped, he felt somewhat ashamed for staring at the blond while he slept/was unconscious. "A-Are you okay?"

He shot straight up into a sitting position. "Fran?!" he said grabbing him in a tight hug.

"S-Sempai?" Fran stuttered rather surprised.

"Yes my dear frogbot" he said nestling his head into the porcelain like neck.

"Frog?" Fran asked looking curiously at his Sempai.

"Yes. I just adore frogs, with their cute eyes. Like yours" he said smirking.

Fran wasn't sure how he felt being compared to an amphibian but whatever pleased his master. He started playing with his Sempai's hair. "Your hair is nice."

"Thank you" he said for the first time ever. Prince's to don't thank peasants, but then again Fran was no peasant.

He continued stroking the blond's hair. "Sempai, how do I become a real boy?"

He stopped all actions with that statement. "Fran I don't know if you ever can be…" he said sort of ashamed he couldn't do something to make the bots wish come true, but he wasn't some weird fairy from outer space. But boy did he wish he could make him a real boy. "But we will try everything."

Even though the news was not the best of news, the bots face lit up. 'I have to become a real boy, so I can be there for Sempai.'

Bel gave a smile and pulled his bot in for another tight hug. "The prince is really hungry... would you like to go out for lunch today?" he asked stretching like a cat.

"Would that be okay with you?" Fran asked.

He nodded and got up, beginning to strip to change his cloths.

Fran stared.

Bel pulled his shirt over his blond head and tossed it to the floor. He shook his head to put his hair back in place.

"Sempai? What color are your eyes?"

He chuckled "Ushishishishi, wouldn't you like to know."

"Am I not allowed to know?" Fran asked curiously.

"Ushishishi, no. They are my secret" he said winking(although nobody can see it).

"A secret?"

"Yes" he said undoing his button on his pants and sliding the zipper down.

For some reason Fran felt uncomfortable seeing this, but it didn't bug him long enough to leave the room. "Does that mean you can't tell people?" he continued.

"Correct. the only person who has ever seen them was my mother when I was a little baby..." the trialed off as he slid his pants down to his ankles, then stepped out of then kicking them in a pile with his shirt.

Fran's eyes didn't leave Bel as he continued to undress, "Your mom? Was she pretty?"

"Take a look for yourself" he says pointing to a framed picture on his dresser.

Fran picked up the picture. The woman was a more feminine version of Bel, with long blond wavy hair pulled up into a half pony tail. She was smiling and her eyes were a soft liquid lavender a nice contrast with her pale skin. She was wearing a pretty white dress in the photo. "Wow, she is pretty."

"Mhm" he said sliding down his red and black plaid boxers.

"Sempai what's that?" Fran pointed to 'yes-exactly-what-you-think-he-pointed-at'.

"You mean this?" Bel asks pointing to his member.

"Yeah."

"It's a penis" he said bluntly.

"Why don't I have one?" Fran asked.

"Because you're not a boy, you're a robot. All boys have these" he said making his way to the bathroom.

"Hmm.." Fran thought about it, "So if I got one then I could be a real boy?"

"Ummm... well that would be a step closer, but you're still missing a lot of things to be a real boy" he said turning on the hot water.

"Like what?" Fran asked sitting down on Bel's bed.

He got in and pulled the curtain closed "Well, for one you have no organs"

"Organs? What are those for?"

"Ummm, well.... organs are what are on the inside of humans. We have a heart to pump our blood, lungs to breath, a stomach and intestines to digest the food, and a brain the controls it all. I guess that is a simple way of putting it, but there are a lot more than those" he said bathing.

"I see... what else do I need to become a real boy?"

"It's a lot more complicated than that Fran. Yes you can go and buy all these things, but...." he trailed off not knowing how to put it.

"Oh..." Fran said disappointingly, "Okay..."

The rest of his shower was a silent one. He got out and began to dry his body.

And when he returned to his room he found it empty.

He looked again to make sure his eyes hadn't played a trick on him. "Fran?" he began to search the rest of the house in his towel. Nothing. "FRAN?!" he yelled

......meanwhile outside.......

Fran looked around in awe. Everything was just so green, bright, and blue. 'I need to find a way to become a real boy... but how do I do that?'

Bel opened the door and ran out holding his towel in place. 'There?' he thought looking into the distance he saw a green head.

Fran continued looking around; he found his way to Bel's driveway and in the center a Red Lamborghini. 'Cool a car!'

He ran faster to catch up to him. It was a long way back into town. His driveway was 10 miles long. 'He shouldn't be out just yet. I have so many things I need to do to him'

Meanwhile Fran sat in the car looking around some more. 'How do I turn this on?'

Bel saw a figure in his car. He ran to it and slimed his hand on the hood, his towel falling. "WHY FRAN?!?" he yelled

Fran rolled down the window of the car, "I wanted to find a way to become a real boy..." Fran said innocently, "Why? Is that bad?"

"Why would you not tell me? Why did you just leave? There are certain things here that you need to live. If you just left now you would die!" he said hanging his head.

Fran was surprised, "But I thought I was a robot..."

"Yes a robot, but what makes all the technology in you work?" he asked his bot.

"Umm.." Fran thought about it... "Electricity?"

"Yeah, and that doesn't last forever. Eventually you would have just shut down. That would be your death! It would have been in just a few days, too" he said.

"Ohh... I see..."

"I don't want you to die..." he said softly.

"I don't want to die either... I guess I was being selfish..." Fran hung his head shamefully.

He walked over to the door, forgetting his towel, and opened it surprising Fran with a hug.

"Sempai... I really want to be a real boy..." Fran said hugging his Sempai back.

"I know, and I want you to be a real boy too. But now we must fill my belly so I can think properly. I mean really its spring and I'm outside nude..."

"Umm..." Fran looked down, "Good point."

"Then lets head inside so we can go out for some food, ne?" he held a hand out to Fran.

"Okay." Fran took the blond's hand and they went inside.

Bel opened his drawers and picked out some clothes and put them on.

"So where are we going?" Fran asked as he watched.

"There's a small homely restaurant in town called Eagles Nest, they have the best fried chicken EVER," he said slipping on a black coat. "Here" he said throwing Fran a long leather coat. He put it on and it was just too cute Bel almost couldn't stand it. It went right along his chest and showed off his shoulders and reached down to his calves.

"Can I eat fried chicken?" Fran asked.

"Well yeah, I gave you taste buds on your tongue. You can eat it and taste it, but it will just be put in a storage container in your gut and we would have to clean it out later..." he spoke.

"Is that why normally I would need organs?"

"Yes"

"I see..." Fran thought about it.

They left the house, in Bel super awesome car, for town.

"What's that?" Fran asked every now and then pointing out simple things like a child would. Bel found this cute.

Bel always stated the truth. "That's a cat" or "that's a rose" and even the last one he answered plain out.

"What are they doing?" Fran point to a couple making out under a tree.

"Well they're kissing. May it be a hertosexual kiss or a homosexual kiss like that one" he said passing the frenching dudes in his car.

"Why do they kiss?" Fran asked curiously.

"It's a way to show your love for somebody" he said pulling into the parking lot of the small town restaurant.

"What's love?"

"It's an emotion. It's like… a feeling you get in your gut of chest when you're with a certain person. It's the urge to do nothing but show them how much you care" he said getting out of the car and opening Fran's door for him.

"Hmm... that sounds nice." Fran liked the idea of this 'Love' concept.

Bel helped him out of the car with a smile and the walked into the front door, arms interlocked.

"So how do you find 'Love'?" Fran asked as Bel held the door to the building open for him. "Or is it something I can't do either?"

"You can't find love, it finds you. Maybe there is someone out there who loves you." he said fighting a soft blush.

"Even if I'm not a boy?" Fran asked curiously.

"Sex has nothing to do with it. It's a feeling that you can't control. It just happens, even if you're a robot" he said walking to a booth in the back and sitting down.

"I see... what is sex again?" Fran followed the blond.

"Um well sex can be used for two things. Like my sex is male, but it is also the biggest way to show someone you care... but it shouldn't be done for miner feelings. Sex is only for very strong feelings for another person. Sex is when ... umm... how I put this..." he leaned on the table; chin on his hand with elbow propping him up.

Fran tilted his head attentively, "Is it hard to explain?"

"No, it's just not proper to talk about it" he said smirking at the dirty images that popped into his mind of Fran.

"I see..." Fran said, "So are we eating yet?"

Bel came out of his naughty thoughts and chuckled. "Ushishishishishi, no"

Fran gave Bel a confused look.

Just then a girl in an apron came to the table.

Fran stared at the girl, he had yet to meet one so it felt rather strange.

"What can I get you" she said in a southern accent while smacking her gum.

"Get me?" Fran asked confused.

"Yes sweetheart" she said. Bel chuckled "Ushishishi, 2 orders of fried chicken please. Oh with sweet tea" he said to her with a smirk.

Fran stared as the girl walked away, "What was she?" Fran asked.

"She was a waitress. She came to order our food, and in a bit she will bring it to us." he said looking straight at the bot.

"Is that her job?"

"Yes. In today's world everything and everybody is owned by money. People must get jobs to get the things they need or want. Everything coasts money because people are so greedy and always want more or something better. I don't see why though. Why wish and work hard for and iris that will only last a while in a vase when you live in a garden of roses that will always be there..."

"Do you have a job Sempai?" Fran asked.

"Well no. I just have the money for what I need, or grow it myself" he stated twirling a lock of his hair.

"Hmm... interesting." Fran noted.

"Not really"

"Are you rich Sempai?"

"Well you could say that, but I don't flaunt it." he said boardly.

"That's good isn't it?"

"Ya... Hey froggy. Ushishishi, want to play a game while we wait?"

"A game?" Fran tilted his head, "What kind of game?"

"Any kind. Let me see..." he said thinking of a good way for him to get closer with Fran.

"I really don't know any kind of games..." Fran said thoughtfully.

"Well is there anything you want to try?" he asked still thinking.

"What about truth or dare?"

"Good one froggy" he said. Then the waitress came with their drinks and left.

"Do you want to start?" Fran asked.

"Ushishishi, sure. Truth or dare froggy?"

"Um..." Fran thought about it, "Dare."

"Hmmm... I dare you to say 'Homo' really loud" he said chuckling.

"Okay," Fran didn't know what it meant so he did it, "HOMO!" he shouted, and all heads turned in his direction.

"Ushishishishi" Bel laughed as a big biker looking guy made his way to the table.

"Hey sempai look more people." Fran pointed to the big guy.

"Ushishishishi, yes more people have come" he said.

"He looks kinda not happy." Fran pointed out.

"Yes it seems so my dear Fran" Bel said sliding out of the booth to confront the giant man.

Fran watched curiously.

"Hey," The big man pointed a finger at Bel, "Tell your friend there to keep his yap shut!"

"Ushishishishshi, one does not order a prince" Bel said leaning against a near by table.

"I wasn't 'ordering' the princess! I was talking to the other fag!"

A vain popped out of his head. "What was that" he said through gritted teeth.

"You heard me princess!"

Bel reached in his coat pocket and pulled out his knives quickly throwing them at the biker.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" The man managed to duck one of them but couldn't fight off the other two that came at him. One hit him in the gut and another in his thigh. "WHY YOU LITTLE..." He started running at Bel.

He easily dodged the running man and grabbed the back of his jacket bulling him into a headlock with another knife at the throat. "How dare you make fun of a prince and his lover!" he hissed in his ear.

"What's that?" Fran asked.

Bel just revised what he said in his head. Blushing he said "N-nothing" letting go of the biker who ran/stumbled out of the restaurant.

"Really?" Fran raised an eyebrow.

"R-really what f-froggy?" Bel said sliding back into the booth.

"Nothing... it's just for a second there it sounded like you were lying..."

"L-lying where?" he asked nervously.

"When you said that it was nothing...."

"Well ummmm... look! Here comes our food!" Bel said pointing at the waitress with a tray of food.

"Cool!" Fran had a short attention span.

Bel sighed silently, happy to wiggle his way out of that.

"This is fried chicken?" Fran asked pointing to the food.

"mhm" he nodded and took his fork and began to peel off the crunchy breading and eat it.

Fran took a fork and tried copying what Bel did, but it wasn't working out so well for him. After a moment of struggling he stabbed the chicken with the fork.

Bel chuckled softly, his chicken completely naked.

Fran stopped stabbing his chicken and started glaring at it.

Bel watched as he shoved the fork deep into the chicken wiggling it around as juices came poring out. He broke a piece of the tender chicken off onto his fork and put it up to Fran's mouth in a gesture to eat it.

Fran ate it. It tasted delicious. His first taste of food ever and he loved it. 'Another reason to become a real boy.'

He smiled at Fran reaction and pulled the fork out of his lips and got himself a piece.

"Food tastes good." Fran said chewing.

"There are many different foods that all taste different and yet similar at the same time. If you get the right foods together you can make them taste even better" he said eating another bite.

"Sounds difficult," Fran trying to use his fork again to get another piece. "How do you know if you've got the right foods?"

"Well some people are good with making the foods taste really good. Then they share the recipe with others so they too can make the yummy food."

"That's so cool!"

He chuckled and nodded.

Fran finished his chicken happily and Bel watched.

He paid the bill at the desk and turned to leave. He put his arm around the bot's waist and pulled him close as they walked out of the door.

"Sempai, why are people staring?" Fran looked up to the blond. "Are the staring at me?"

"Us, froggy, us. They are just jealous of us" he said looking back down at emerald pools.

"What's jealous mean?"

"It's an emotion. It's the feeling that you want something that another has" he said ruffling his green hair with a smirk.

"Hm..." Fran said thoughtfully, "Why are they jealous?"

"Because of our connection to each other, our relationship" he said placing a hand to Fran's porcelain cheek and leaning in.

"I see..." Fran said getting used to the closeness, "People shouldn't be jealous though... everyone can have relationships right?"

"Yes, but not like ours" he said capturing his lips.

Fran was caught off guard, "mmph?" but soon found himself comfortable in this position.

Bel pulled him closer to his body, tilting his head to the side and shoving his tongue into the bots mouth opening it.

Fran had no idea what was going on, but again he had the same feelings of anxiety and excitement.

Bel's tongue wondered the inside of the bot's mouth while his hand moved from his cheek to Fran's soft green hair.

Fran had the weird feeling inside him again, he wasn't sure why, but he liked it.

After a while the blonde pulled back and a string of saliva connecting there mouths. It broke and landed on the bot's pail skin. Bel smirked and wiped it away with his thumb.

"W-What was that called again?" Fran asked.

"That is a kiss" he said putting his arm over Fran's shoulder as he began to walk as the heads of watchers fallowed them.

"Oh y-yeah I remember now," Fran said looking ahead, "T-that was nice."

"Ushishishishi" was all that was said as Bel opened the car door for Fran.

Fran got in and smiled at his sempai. 'I really want to become a real boy...'

Bel walked around the car and got in igniting the car and rearing the engine. He turned on the radio and blasted an AFI CD he had on the long drive home.

"Is this music?" Fran asked curiously for he had not heard any before.

"Yes. I like this band." he said turning into his 10 mile long driveway.

"Is a band a group of people that make music?"

"Why aren't we a smart froggy? Ushishishishi" he said keeping his eyes peeled to the road.

"Hm, they're... loud..."

"ushishishishi, I made them that loud. Things sound better when they are loud" he said turning the music down slightly.

The rest of the drive home was silent as Bel bobbed his head to the bass.

"Sempai, what do we do now?"

"Well we need to clean you out and charge your battery. So lets start their" he said fiddling with the keys trying to get the one for the house. He found it and shoved it into the keyhole and turned it. It made a clicking sound then he opened the big door and walked in flipping on the lights.

"Okay..." Fran stepping into the enormous house.

They walked to the double doors of the lab and pushed them open. He entered and flipped the light switch illuminating the trashy lab.

Fran felt like it had been a long time since he had been here when it really wasn't. A feeling of nostalgia.

Bel motioned him to sit on the lab table before he went to mess with come cords and wires.

Fran did as his sempai instructed.

"Take off your jacket and shirt" he said without looking at him as he kept fiddling with the cords.

Fran zipped down his jacket and took it off. But he had more trouble with the shirt, halfway through he got stuck. "Um... sempai?"

He turned to look at Fran and giggled at the cute sight. He dropped the cords to help his bot.

"I-I don't- sorry..." Fran apologized as Bel helped him untangle himself.

"No need for that. You did nothing wrong" he said pulling it over the green head. He placed it with the jacket on the desk. Then he grabbed a huge cord, two inches thick, and walked behind Fran. He took a knife and began to unscrew four screws that were in the shape of a box where a heart would be on a human.

The bot watched his sempai work closely.

He wedged the knife in the small gap between the box and the rest of the bot. It came loose and he pulled it off setting it next to Fran. The inside was filled with multi colored wires. In the middle was what looked like a circular plug in that was almost hallow except for spike-like appendages that came from the far end. He took the cord and fit it into the plug with a click. Then he turned a silver ring at the point where the plug met the cord to lock the combination. He walked around the front of the table to a computer that looked like a bookshelf with cords, wires, cables, ect. protruding from what looked like stereo systems. He stopped at a fuse box at the very end. He opened the metal door and looked back at the bot who was watching curiously. He placed his hand at the top of the beginning of the rows of switches that controlled the electricity and where it went. Nodding at the bot he ran his hand down, cutting all power to the house. Then moved his hand to the large lever and pulled it down. The computer-like bookshelf roared to life and little colorful lights began to flash creating just enough like to see. He walked over to the bot and looked into his awaiting eyes.

"Sempai that's a lot of electricity..."

"Ya, and it's all for you. Now tell me how you feel, the charging process is painful" he said taking his hand.

"Nothing yet..." He said wondering how painful it would be. He started humming waiting, soon interrupted when the pain came on strong. "Sempai...." Fran said worriedly tightening his hold on Bel's hand.

"I'm sorry Fran" he said as he embraced his bot.

"It.. hurts..." Fran winced.

"I'm sorry" he repeated over and over and over.

Fran closed his eyes, 'I can do this for sempai!' It hurt though, it hurt a lot, but Fran planned to endure it.

Bel hated the feeling he was getting in his chest. How could he put so much pain on his Fran? But Fran would just have to endure it for the sake of their relationship.

Fran looked at his Sempai's worried face, and felt like he had to do something. He couldn't stand to cause his sempai trouble. He sucked the pain and managed to put on a smile for his sempai. "I-I'm okay, B-Bel-sempai."

"I-it's ok Fran. I know you're in much pain, so you don't have to smi-" he stopped mid sentence. 'Smile? He smiled, and it looks so cute. But how…' he wondered as he smiled back at the somehow grinning robot.

Fran was warmed by the prince's smile, sincere for once and so-so so prince-like.

And just as fast it hit, the charging process ended. He walked back to the fuse box and pushed up on the lever and flipped the switches to the rest of the house up. Then began to undo the combination of Fran and the cord.

"Cleaning is next right?" Fran feeling better now the pain was gone.

"Ya. but you gata do that. In the back of your throat is a uvula. Touch it" he said putting the cords away.

"My throat?" Fran raised an eyebrow.

"Ya just do like this" he said walking in front of Fran and opening his mouth pointing to his uvula. "Then touch it"

Fran did as he was told.

He got a gag reflex and began to puke wads of chicken.

"Am I done?" he asks.

"Ya, but now you have to clean this up" he said edging out of the room "I'll get you some cleaning tools"

"Okay," Fran nodded as Bel left the room, and wait patiently for him to come back.

He returned with a bucket, mop, and paper towels. "Here" he said giving them to Fran.

Fran knew exactly what to do; he started cleaning efficiently and quickly.

Moments later Fran finished. "Come with me Froggy. I want to show you something."

"Okay Sempai." Fran followed the blond wondering what he was going to be shown.

He walked to the out the front door, the sun setting over the horizon; the oranges and reds blending causing the clouds to turn shades pink and purple. The air was a bit nippy but the beauty was worth it. Bel grabbed the bots hand and ran to the back of the house where a ladder leads to the top. They climbed it to the roof witch had a railing for propping an elbow on to be lazy. They both walked carefully to the edge of the sloped roof to the railing to get a better look for a higher view.

"Wow... that's so pretty..." Fran said in awe. So many colors... it was overwhelming. "Sempai...."

"Yes froggy?" he says turning to face him and putting his hands on Fran's waist.

"Your world is so... so... amazing," Fran felt this feeling of emptiness overcome him. It was too much for him. His hand grabbed his Sempai's shirt. "I really... want to be part of it." Hung his head, what was this feeling? Then it happened, he felt something run down his face. He touched it, it was liquidy. What's happening?

"F-Fran, are you crying?"

"I-I'm not sure... what is crying?" Fran said looking up.

He smiled softly. "Ya. Fran these are tears, ushishishi" he said wiping the liquid streams on his face and showing him his now wet finger.

"I'm not leaking?"

"No. It's natural for humans to cry." He said hugging the bot. Then he turned to look at the darkening sky across from the sunset. "Look," he pointed to a shimmer in the sky, "the first star of night."

"Star?" Fran looked up, "What's that?"

"It's a ball of gas billions of miles away, or so says scientist. But for me they are different, they are little lights put in the sky to gaze upon at night. They light the way on a dark night. They even have special powers. If you wish on a star sometimes come true" he said smiling.

"That's so cool!" Fran said excitedly, "But wait... it probably doesn't count for robots..."

"I don't know… but I will wish for you." he looks up at the star and interlocking his two hands.

"I wish I may,

I wish I might.

I wish upon the first star of night.

My porcelain lover, my robotic toy…

I wish upon him to be a real boy...." he chanted closing his eyes (though Fran didn't see).

Fran looked at the star hopefully; he really wanted this to work. A twinkle of hope alone in the deepened blue sky.

Bel wrapped an arm around the bot's shoulder and pulled him in close.

Fran rested his head onto Bel as he stared hopefully in to the sky. Soon the lone star began to be surrounded by the company of more stars.

"Fran..." Bel asked.

"Yes Sempai?"

"Kiss me?" he said more than asked.

"K-kiss?" Fran asked unsurely but already nearing Bel.

"Yes" he said slowly leaning in.

"Umm... o-okay..." The bot hesitated, but slowly started to close the space between them. Their silhouettes against the night sky, two slowly becoming one.

Then that spaced reached zero, their lips meeting. It started a soft and innocent kiss… then Bel traced his tongue across the slightly cold bottom lip of his bot asking entrance.

Fran let him in, placing his hand delicately on his Sempai's cheek.

He slid between Fran's lips and began to explore. His hand came to trace from the top of the bot's back to his butt.

Fran shuddered lightly.

He laughed a bit, but it was muffled. His tongue came to liking the feeling of rolling over Fran's.

Fran melted a little, or so he felt like he was. He felt so warm in his Sempai's arms, so alive.
