When Squalo finally got Xanxus' lazy ass up, we had to wait another 40 minutes for him to actually wake up and get ready.
But when we finally were able to leave, Lussuria had Squalo and Sapphire show us around town. Squalo pointed out the places he used to hang out when he was younger, and Sapphire... Well she mainly walked about all the places to shop. Which really perked Lussuria's interests.
"Oh my god! Can we go shopping?! Please Bossu~?" He begged. Everyone knew he'd get his way since he didn't really care where we went as long as it wasn't home, but it was funny just watching him. So we let the pleading continue.
And Xanxus seemed to enjoy it anyways. He liked it when people begged him.
Eventually though, Xanxus grew weary and finally gave in causing Lussuria to explode in happiness. If he were any more happy I'm pretty sure he'd throw up sparkles and shit rainbows.
So after a 10 minute walk, we found ourselves at the biggest mall that wasn't an hour drive away.
"Hmm. I think it'd be best if we weren't in one giant clump of people." Sapphire said as if she were an expert in the art of shopping. You know what... She's a girl so I wouldn't be surprised. So never mind.
"Well we can't really split evenly." I say. There are seven people. That can't be split in any form.
"We'll go in groups of two." She said nonchalantly.
"There are seven of us." I deadpan, "Commander. I think you're sister's mentally retarded. She doesn't even know that you can't divide seven."
"HA! Finally someone sees it my way!" Squalo says triumphantly.
Smack
… Did I just get smacked?
Who the hell even did that?
"Do not insult a lady!" I hear Luss say, his arms crossed. Was it him?
I turn my head and see and angry female shark... Guess she's the culprit since she's shaking her hand as if she hit something really hard.
"What the hell is in your face?" She almost scream/asks.
"My skull."
"Thank you Captain Obvious."
"Your welcome Sargent Sarcasm."
"Ushishi." Seems Bel-Senpai's amused.
"Oh my~" Luss says getting in between me and the female who was now in my face, "Now now. Lets not fight. Can we just chose our groups now?"
In the end Lussuria paired us up in twos; Me and Senpai, Lightning Pervert and Luss, and just had the girly shark tag along with Xanxus and Sapphire.
Me and Senpai looked around in stores for awhile just kinda wandering until we decided to actually shop since we knew Luss would be disappointed if we didn't.
"Hey Senpai." I say as I hold up a plastic tiara to him.
"Ushishishi. The Prince's crown is better." He says.
Somehow we ended up in the girliest store there is, mostly 'cause we saw Lussuria and did not want to get sucked into his shopping craze, so we dashed into the closest store.
We were getting some weird looks, mainly from the guys that had been dragged into the store by their girlfriends, but I don't think Senpai noticed. I'm pretty sure they thought we were gay 'cause Senpai was wearing a tiara and such.
"Ushishi. Girl's stores are weird." Senpai said, playing with the fake tiara.
"Do you think Luss is gone so that we can leave?" I ask. This atmosphere is kinda unnerving. And the air stinks of perfume. A lot of perfume.
Bel sneaks a look out the window.
"Ushishi. I think he's gone."
"Good. We can finally leave this place." I say as I stride toward the exit.
"Ushishi. Is froggy bothered?"
"This place is full of sparkles and pink." I state, " And I'm male. I guarantee I felt the same as every other guy that was dragged in there."
"Ushishi. It was rather sickening." Senpai agreed, sticking his tongue out slightly as if disgusted. Which he probably was.
We went through some stores and bought little. Typically just new clothes. But at some point the we stopped so that Senpai could go the the restroom.
So I just leaned against a wall and pulled out my phone to play a game. I consider my phone to be a dinosaur. I never use it, so I don't really ever feel the need to get a new one. But I probably should soon since the screen is cracked and half the keys refuse to work now. But I think I'll replace it when either it just dies and never revives or when the screen just falls out from being cracked so much.
"Ushi." I hear before my hand goes empty. Where did my phone go?
"Shishi. The Prince never knew froggy had a phone." He said, holding it as if it were something he'd never seen before.
"I got it from grandma." I say as I try and grab my phone back. But Senpai just raises it above my head. I hate being fun sized.
"The Prince thinks froggy needs a new one. Ushishi."
"This one is fine."
"Does froggy like living like a peasant?"
"Last time I checked I lived in a mansion." I say as I continue reaching for the phone, "Can I have it back now Senpai?"
"Nope~" He sings, "It's fun watching my froggy jump."
"I'm not a frog."
I think this is the first time I've actually stop up to him on this matter.
The fact that he calls me frog doesn't bother me, it's the fact that he thinks it's a game.
"Of course you are. You have the hat to prove it."
"One that you gave me." I say before finally giving up on my quest for the phone.
"And froggy likes it."
Is that what he seriously thinks?
"And what gave you that idea?"
"Froggy's never cared before." He sounds... Sad...
"I just don't want you to see me as an actual frog."
Senpai pouts.
"The Prince would never touch froggy if I thought of you as an actual frog. Real frogs are gross. You're a cute frog."
…Why does he have to be so serious when saying stuff like that? He obviously has no idea what that did to my heart. If only that was as unmoving as my face.
"Just- Give me back my phone Senpai." I say as I hold out my hand once more.
"Shishi. Nope~" He says as he turns around and walks to the closest phone store.
"Senpai. I'm not getting a new one."
He ignores me as he pulls out my sim card.
He pockets the card and looks at the variety of different phones displayed.
"Which one fits froggy?" He mutters to himself.
"I get no say in this do I?"
"Will froggy pick a new one?"
"No."
"Then no."
I stare blankly at him. Trying to will the phone away.
He soon grabs a sliver phone. It's not super new 'cause it's not a touch screen. But it's not a dinosaur either.
"Ushishi. Found one~"
He hands me the phone and I know that means he's telling me to get it.
"Fine." I say as I go up to check out.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Senpai buy something too. But I don't see what.
"What did you get in that store?" I ask, sitting down at a table in the food court so I can work with my new phone.
"Shishi. It's a surprise."
"Can't you ever just tell me anything with out it being a surprise or secret?" I ask, kinda annoyed.
"Nope~"
"Fine." I say standing up, "I'm gunna go get some food somehow."
I really wished people here spoke Italian or French. Lets just hope they know English.
"Alright." Senpai says as he glances at the ice cream place.
"Hmpf. I take it Senpai wants ice cream?" I ask.
He pouts, but nods.
"Flavor?" I ask. I know he can't speak Spanish and I don't know if he knows English, so I might as well get him something.
He beams.
"Strawberry." He chirps.
I come back to see Senpai messing with my phone. He seems to see me and slips it in his pocket. Whatever. I'll get it back later.
I place the ice cream in front of him and he eats it almost as happily as me. Guess we both have sweet teeth.
Senpai gets a text from Squalo saying we have to leave.
We meet everyone at the doors and before we leave Senpai slips my phone into my back pocket.
I pull it out, noticing something was off about it.
What I found was a phone charm that had an adorable little frog with a crown placed on it's head attached to my new phone.
"So that's what he bought." I mutter as I go to catch up with everyone else.
Author's Note: I have seriously not been in a writing mood this weekend. And for that I'm sorry.
