Love Cruise Chapter 3

a/n: I forgot to ADD A PARAGRAPH TO THIS CHAPTER! No wonder you were confused, litashe :P. Accidentally deleted it. I'll just retype it.

Sharon was having a great time dreaming, and she was sleeping with no worries. However, Fran on the other side was having the worst nightmare; he was having a NORMAL date with Sharon. This is what happened…

"I'm so nervous?" Sharon couldn't even believe it herself, she kept telling herself it was just a friendly date, nothing less and nothing more. She chuckled laughing that she actually thought that it was an actual date, even when she was the one who asked him out. Well, after a few minutes debating what to wear, she finally decided on a white graphic t-shirt with a black porcelain cashmere jacket and a very fluffy black skirt. She stepped out into the fresh ocean air feeling very confident ready to squash any misunderstandings Fran had.

Then she spotted in the corner Fran looking out into the ocean wearing a very big hat. She went over to him and asked him, "What's with the hat?"

He felt startled but showed no signs of it and replied, "It's my normal mafia hat. But, I'll change into something else later on for out 'date'."

"Ah. So, you have to wear a frog hat as part of uniform? That's..unusual."

"Isn't it." His unemotional responses and blank face makes Sharon intrigued, how could someone stay blank like that for so long? After saying goodbye, he got back to his cabin ready to dress for his first date. Lussuria was overexcited and picked out the "perfect" outfit for Fran. A blue hood jersey jacket with black skinny jeans and special addition Nikes was the special "date" outfit for Fran. Then he thought to himself, "Ah. I look like a jock."

At last the moment for the date was ready, Fran took off his absurd hat and reached for the beanie instead. He stared at himself in the mirror shocked to find out he was thinking of what Sharon would think of his appearance, and decided it was just a friendly date anyways.

He stepped out ready to confront bi-polar woman, and found her surprisingly very stylish and chic for just a friendly date. Perhaps she was just excited even though it was her idea in the first place? He strolled over to her side and calmly announced that he was ready for the date.

"Ah! You look very cool, Fran! Did Lussuria help you with it?" She chuckled when his face stayed blank taking it as a yes, and took his hand. She told him that they were going off to the movie theaters for their first and only date.

"Movies? What do you want to watch then?"

"Anything with action."

"Great."

It looks like they were compatible after all, they both thought unconsciously. As they waited for the movie to start, they started talking about various actors, but mostly about the plotline. It turns out Sharon was quite the fanatic about interesting stories and such. Fran just went with the flow, only to interrupt when voicing his opinions. But, he did find the topic interesting and was about to say more when the lights slowly dimmed.

"Ah, it's starting." Sharon commented, while the prologue was running on the screen with the credits appearing in places of the movie. Fran tried to stay awake during the fights, but because they were so boring and fake he soon fell asleep and landed his head on Sharon's shoulder. She looked over thinking that he tapped her, but was speechless when she found his head instead. Then she realized with a shock that they were holding hands this whole time, but decided not to wake him up.

After the Movie (Btw, it was Green Hornet :D)

"Fran? Fran. Fran!" After much shaking, Fran finally awoke and looked around (supposedly) confused and asked, "Is the movie over?"

"Yeah. Had a good nap on my arm?" She said irritated because now her arm was all sore supporting Fran's head for over an hour.

"The best. Where are we going now?"

"Arcade. Then shopping for clothes, because I need some." She failed to mention that half of her wardrobe was filled with machine guns and shot guns, thus the lack of clothes.

"Shopping? Alright." She looked over thinking it was weird that he didn't object, for most boys groan out in irritation when finding out that the date was filled with shopping for girl clothes.

They made their way to the light spinning arcade, full of teenagers just having fun or on a date like them. Sharon looked around and found a dancing game and challenged Fran to a game. At first, he seemed like he sucked but he got the hang of it and quickly caught up to Sharon. It was only a matter of minutes when he would beat her, so she decided to up her game a little and competed equally with Fran. At the end, the victor was Fran and Sharon was on the floor deflated from all the energy she used for the dancing. On the other hand, Fran looked as healthy and unemotional as ever so he was just fine. But, he panted slightly with each breath and Sharon decided it was time for a break.

She headed over to the refreshments stall and waited in line. Finally getting the long-awaited drinks, she turned back to see many girls hanging around a table. When she walked over, she realized that it was Fran who was in the center of attention and was doing nothing to stop it. She then snapped and turned into to her evil side and lashed out, "HEY YOU GIRLS, STEP AWAY FROM MY DATE."

Then she quickly turned back to her normal personality and paled when she realized what she just said and ashamed walked towards Fran and gave him the drink.

"I'm so sorry, Step-I mean my other personality came out." That was close, Sharon thought, she almost revealed her utmost dark secret.

"It's ok. I predicted you would say that anyways, so you think this is a real date, huh?" Fran smirked and teased her about her "confession" a few minutes ago. The girls were still lingering farther away but they were all jealous at how close Fran's date was to him.

"I-I just said that in the spur of the moment!" She shouted out in frustration and looked away flustered. She was normally the one who just stood back and waited for the girls to leave, but when she noticed that it was Fran who was getting all the attention and NOT telling them to leave, she was all angered.

"Why didn't you tell those girls to leave?" She said acting as if it was just a normal question and she didn't care at all, even though she did.

"I didn't think they were that important. Why should I care about other girls when I'm on a date with you? That's weird."

Wow, he said something so sweet without realizing it, Sharon thought to herself not realizing she was as red as a tomato. She got up quickly and said to him, "Shopping. Then we're done, ok?"

"Yes, senpai."

They spent the whole date shopping for clothes, and returned with as many as 50 bags, with 10 of them being Fran's own clothes. Sharon laughed at the amount and told him that it was very unusual for a guy to have that much clothes.

"Really? Lussuria buys 100 bags a time, with 20 bags full of my clothes. I thought that it was quite normal for girls to buy more than that."

"I'm different."

"I can tell."

Were they flirting with each other? Sharon was uncertain but didn't want the date to end yet, they were finally warming up to each other. As friends, and nothing more than that.

"Bowling?" Fran asked while looking at the flier, it was promoting the new bowling alley that had just opened up with the ship and was 30,000 yen off for the grand opening.

"Want to go? Our last stop, then we go back." Grateful that there was at least something that would prolong this great time together, Sharon followed Fran to the bowling alley after dropping off their shopping bags at their cabins. After they paid, Fran was to go first and show off his great bowling skills. He never even touched a bowling ball ever in his whole life, but threw a strike.

"How did you do that, and you are a beginner?"

"I like straight things."

"I'll show you a strike, then. A better one." Determined not to let this beginner get the best of her, she threw the bowling ball down the lane and waited anxiously to hear the pounding of the pins. And there it was, almost like music to her ears. She glanced back before her and found that no pins were standing, as expected.

"Pretty good. But, let's see if you can top 3 strikes in a row to beat me." He stepped up to the lane and threw the ball, and again a strike. This pattern continued on for many times, then their allotted time was over for the bowling game. They had not known, but they were stalked by the Varia for the whole date, with them observing. Lussuria cried into his hanky-chief and stuttered out, "He's..GROWING UP! WAHHHH!"

Xanxus groaned in agony, why he was here of all the places in the world, dumbfounded him. He was merely dragged along with the rest of the group because he was slightly bored and annoyed with Lussuria's constant whining. But, he couldn't help thinking to himself to urge Fran to make a move on Sharon or else she'll be just a friend.

"You..you win." Sharon said exasperated at the effort she used again to try to defeat him. He was the undefeated champ, and she was the 2-losses in a row title holder. She envisioned herself finally winning against him on something and laughed at how far that future would be. She glanced at the clock and yelped in surprise. It was already 12 PM, and they were on a date for 9 hours already!

"Ready to go back?" He asked her curious as to why she was on all fours again panting heavily.

"Y-Yeah."

The rest of the night walking back was quite awkward for Sharon, but Fran thought it was absolute bliss. The calm and peaceful walk towards Sharon's cabin was most preferred for Fran after much interacting with the outside world. He distanced himself far away from that, but was confused why he would do all that for Sharon's sake.

They finally stopped at Sharon's door and he turned to face her ready to say goodbye for the day.

"I guess I had fun, Sharon-senpai."

"I had lots of fun too, Fran-kun." She smiled and held out her hand, which Fran grabbed and pulled towards him. Sharon fell with the momentum into Fran's chest and froze shocked. Fran hugged her and pulled her upright and kissed her lightly on the lips and turned away holding out an arm as a goodbye.

"W-W-What was that for?" Then Sharon stayed in her cabin trying to figure out why Fran did that, and in Fran's cabin he texted Lussuria asking if he did what was told.

"Yes, it was SOOOO ROMANTIC 333" Was the reply that Lussuria sent back to him in response.

However, standing on top of the cruise ship looking down at the scene below, a man chuckled to himself. He then said, "It's almost time, Varia, for my revenge. I'll get what hurts you most!"
