I woke up to a very loud voice.

"VOI, WOMAN, BECAUSE OF YOU, I'M SICK!" Squalo's offensively loud voice yelled.

"What?" I asked, half asleep.

"YOU MADE ME SICK!" Squalo repeated.

"..Eh?"

"VOI, are you stupid? You made me sick!"

"Us. You made us sick," Fran corrected from my doorway.

What they were saying finally clicked. "Oh! Froggie, you're sick? Come here," I cooed and patted next to me on the lounge.

"How do you feel?" I asked Fran as I placed my hand on his forehead.

"I have a headache, my nose is blocked and my throat is itchy," Fran explained.

"Aw, poor Little one," I hugged him, "but you don't feel like you're burning up."

"That's because you're sick too, Rin-chan." Fran said, "..why were you asleep in the lounge room?"

I rubbed the back of my head, "Well, I was really thirsty last night so I went to get a drink. I sat down on the couch and I guess I must've fallen asleep."

"Stupid woman," Squalo muttered under his breath. I glared at him and threw a remote at his head. Squalo opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted when the door was slammed open.

"My babies are sick!" Lussuria wailed as he pranced into the room and hovered over Fran and I, "Can Luss-nee-chan get you two anything?"

"VOI! WHAT ABOUT ME!"

"Oh, you too of course Squ-chan!" Lussuria said as he pushed Squalo down onto the couch, "Boss said that it was okay for you guys to have as much time off as you need to recover."

"Did he really say that?" I asked.

"I had to go a buy six of his favourite bottles of scotch, but he said yes!" Lussuria beamed.

"Thanks Lussuria," I smiled at him.

"Anything for my babies!" he said as he opened up the door, "I need to go on a mission now, but when I come back I'll look after you! I'm going to be so lonely on the mission." He pouted in my direction. "Your medicine is on the table. Oh, by the way, you need to go get Bel-chan! He hasn't gotten up yet~" he yelled as he disappeared.

I blinked a few times at the others before stumbling to my feet and swallowing the tablets Lussuria had left.

"Rin-chan, you aren't very graceful when you wake up," Fran commented as he stood up.

"That woman is never graceful," Squalo told Fran.

I threw Squalo a dirty look before I strode out the door, the other two trailing behind me. I tuned out the other two as they argued about god knows what. The memory of what Belphegor said last night rose up in my mind.

'How come Froggie gets one but the Prince doesn't?'

What made him say that? It was completely unexpected. He's never asked for any affection before. In fact, he's never shown me any sort of affection before. No hugs, no kind words, nothing. Although, he does call me commoner instead of peasant. Maybe that means that he considers me his friend? I was pulled out of my thoughts when Fran tugged on my hand.

"You go in first," he drawled in his usual monotone. I gave him a questioning look but he just ushered me forward. Placing my hand on the doorknob, I cautiously pushed the door open and stepped inside. It took me a few seconds to find Belphegor. He was sprawled out across his bed, fast asleep. His legs were tangled in his blankets and he had his arms wrapped around his pillow, hugging it to him.

It was kind of..adorable.

"Riiiiiin, go wake Bel-sempai up," Fran said from the door. Squalo was lurking behind him. Neither of them had stepped into Belphegor's room. I shrugged it off and stood beside his bed. Placing my hand on Belphegor's shoulder, I shook it gently. Belphegor just muttered something, loosened his grip on the pillow and rolled over so he was facing me.

I frowned and shook his shoulder again, "Cheshire, time to wake up." His hands were moving around the bed, searching for something. Unable to find it, he reached higher and latched onto my elbow.

I gestured with my free hand to Fran and Squalo. "Guys, come help me," I said. They shook their heads.

My mouth dropped open, "Why not?"

"Because usually whoever wakes that brat gets a knife in the thigh," Squalo answered. I froze.

"You guys sent me in here with warning?"

"Yes."

I stuck my tongue out childishly and tried to free my elbow from Belphegor's grip. He murmured something underneath his breath that sounded suspiciously like principessa.

Principessa?

Princess?

'Who is this principessa? It can't be me because he calls me commoner, not principessa. Does he have a girlfriend?'

I frowned and tore my elbow from his grip, stepping back before throwing a pillow at his face. Belphegor woke up with start and flung a knife in my direction, which I blocked with a pillow.

"Lussuria sent me to wake you up," I told him before I stormed out of the room.

The others joined me in the lounge room soon after. When they came in, I was huddled under all of the blankets.

"Cheshire, your medicine is on the table," I told Belphegor.

"Voi woman, give me a blanket. I'm cold," Squalo said while reaching for a blanket.

I swatted his hand away, "Don't touch my blanket fort. It's perfect."

"Can I have a blanket?" Fran asked.

I smiled and made space for him under the blankets. Squalo reached for a blanket again and I hit his hand away again.

"Why is the commoner in such a bad mood?" Belphegor asked, flopping down on the couch next to me.

"I'm not in a bad mood," I said.

"Yes you are," Squalo added.

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!"

"YES YOU ARE! NOW GIVE ME A FUCKING BLANKET OR I'LL TELL BEL WHY YOU'RE UPSET!" Squalo shouted. I glared at him as I surrendered a blanket.

"This is what I get for trusting you," I told Squalo, hiding my head in Fran's shoulder. Besides Fran, Squalo was the only one who knew that I liked Belphegor. Just a tiiiiiiiny bit. It was like I was back in high school; I would get nervous and blush around him.

"Oh, so the commoner is in a bad mood?" Belphegor asked, tugging at a blanket. I turned on the tv as I handed him a blanket, ignoring his question.

I felt Belphegor jab my side.

"Shishi, answer my question."

"Just watch the movie."

Belphegor pouted but did what I said. The title screen of the horror movie that Squalo had chosen flickered onto the screen.

'Who is this principessa?'

Ugh. I hate summer. With the passion OF A THOUSAND SUUUUUUUNS!

But seriously. Unnecessarily hot.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! See you soon.
