Almost Killed Your Light.
The next day at three thirty in the afternoon. Belphegor laid on the couch with his earphones tucked in his ears and his iPod sat comfortably in his hand. The sweet blissful music devoured his mind, calming his nerves and waking him up, his eyes closed while he tapped his finger against the couch, his lips moved on their own as he sang along.
"Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Where is my mind?" One moment the music soothed his boredom, the next they were ripped from his ears and immediately he heard nothing, but the quiet living room. He peered up to glare at the one who bravely tore his earphones away. His teal haired housemate with the emotionless face that reminded him of a mime.
"I wondered that too," Fran said, he dropped the earphones on Bel's chest and sauntered off. "Are we still going?" He called from the kitchen, he stared at the calendar on the fridge and noticed it was the wrong month, he stuck a magnet to keep the page from flipping back. It was a Friday and on that Friday said with bright lettered words - Fran and Bel Day.
Bel groaned from the living room, he rolled off the couch. "Yeah. I thought we aren't going until later, you know when it gets dark and creepy out."
Fran nodded at the reminder, "Yeah." He tilt his head to see what Bel was doing but caught him yawning as he stood in the threshold of the living room and the kitchen. In a way, he found Bel yawning rather adorable.
He shook the thought away and glanced back at the calendar, "What do you want to do until then?"
Bel shrugged, "Does it matter? We could kill someone if we wanted too." He laughed at the thought of killing some poor fool in the afternoon and off duty. Reminded him of the good old days when he ran from the cops with blood soaked clothes. He knew Fran would disregard the idea and think of something entirely different for the both of them to spend the day.
"We could blow bubbles, balloons -"
" - Prostitutes," Bel said, cutting him off.
Fran arched a brow, "Of course you would blow a male prostitute."
Before Bel could throw an insult and maybe some of his silver knives at him for being a smart ass. The buzzer rang, they both looked and glanced at each other. Bel shook his head then dashed off towards his bedroom.
Fran sighed at the echo of Bel's door slamming shut. He walked to the door and pressed his finger against the button on the panel. He was disappointed to learn it was Lussaria, Squalo, Mammon and Levi. He buzzed them up and when they entered the apartment, they were clad in normal clothes instead of their Varia Uniforms. Squalo was obviously pissed off while Mammon mumbled about not wanting to be here.
Lussaria patted Fran on the shoulder, "Hello, darling, how's your day?" He asked in wonder. Fran backed away to give the others space and to move away from Lussaria. He glanced to the dark hallway and wondered if Bel was ever going to come out of his room.
"It's alright. What about you guys?" Fran asked, looking back at the group.
Levi shrugged, "Could be better. There's nothing to do at the Varia and Xanxus has all the servants doing his bidding again. I wouldn't be surprised if he fired them all for being slow."
Fran pushed a strand of his hair behind his ear. "Anyone else?"
Lussaria nodded. "Yes. Actually, we came to ask if we could join you and Bel at the amusement park."
Fran knew this was going to happen, it was just a matter of time until one of them brought it up. Right away, Bel walked in with a wide grin as if he were standing there the entire time. "No you may not," He answered with glee, looking at Fran who didn't bother to object, since honestly he felt the same way.
Lussaria frowned at the answers they were given, then he realized how content they were in each others presence. He knew it was time to spark something between them, a smile perked back up on his face. "So, are you two going on a special, secret date or something? Is that why you won't let us come along?"
Fran grimaced while Bel simply looked dumbfounded. They shook their heads in unison, obviously knowing their answer right away. "Why would we want to go on a date? We can't stand each other," Fran stated, even though the others in the room besides Bel weren't buying it.
"Why are you two living with each other?" Mammon asked, he didn't look up from his phone.
Bel flailed his arms in the air, "You guys got it all wrong. It's called bonding between friends, it's not like we're secretly sleeping together and holding hands. I mean, you would seriously figure it out in no time." With that they all knew it was true.
Lussaria frowned, feeling disheartened, "I was sure you two were hiding something scandalous."
Fran raised his hand in the air, "Bel-Senpai keeps the pink dildos the boss gave him. Don't ask me what he does with them, I don't even want to know."
Bel grit his teeth, he pulled his knives and began throwing them at Fran. Lussaria and Levi were in shock, their mouths fell open at the unnecessary information.
"Bel, quit it!" Fran whined, pulling the knives from his arms.
"Don't you dare say another stupid thing again, or I will you, you useless fucking toad!" Bel growled, he turned and stomped back to his bedroom.
Fran bent the blades and dropped them in the trash. He turned back to his guests that were still speechless and blinded by their sick imagination. Mammon casually turned his phone off and placed it in his jacket. Lussaria shook his head, slowly coming back to reality, "I think it's time to go home, the image is quite disturbing. Come along," He called Mammon, Levi and Squalo. Once the front door closed, Fran felt a little relieved. He locked the door in case.
"I'm taking a shower, then we're leaving," Bel called from the hallway.
