Sorry it's been so long! I've been out of the country for a while without internet.

*Time Passes* Fran is now 15 and Bel is 21.

Fran frowned as the car pulled up to the Varia mansion. Mukuro had finally gotten fed up with him and shipped him off. He was a little nervous. He did not like the way his stomach was churning. He had spent the last five years living with his master and now he was going to be stuck in a giant house full of violent psychopaths. Great. Not to mention Bel supposedly lived here. His future girlfriend… How embarrassing. What if she was actually really ugly or something and his future self just had poor taste? He really didn't want to think about it. To be honest, he hadn't been interested in any girls he had come across before. He wondered why…

"Are you nervous?" Levi smirked at Bel.

"Shut up!" Bel spat venomously.

Lussuria giggled. "Oh, come now, Bel-Chan. You must be at least a little nervous. Fran-Chan is going to be here any minute."

"I'm not fucking nervous! Just because I was fucking the little brat in the future doesn't mean I'm interested in him!" Bel snarled.

"I heard you tell him you loved him," Squalo snickered from the corner.

"Y-You're lying!" Bel sputtered, his cheeks growing hot.

Lussuria squealed. "He's here! The driver just sent me a text saying they were driving up!"

Bel's stomach dropped. He was nervous as hell, though he would never admit it. He hadn't seen Fran since they had found him in France. A lot had happened since then. He and Mammon… Well, that was over now. They hadn't spoken to each other in almost a year. Bel had been devastated by their break up. He had spent hours, days even, locked away in his room. He was so angry at Mammon, but even more furious with himself for ever letting himself get so attached to someone. He vowed to himself that he would never be so stupid again. But… now to see Fran again. He distinctly remembered every part of the future he had seen. He and Fran had been very serious lovers; he definitely couldn't deny that to himself. He had been madly in love with that little greenette. He had nicknamed him Froggy, but the idiot didn't remember any of it! He didn't even know who Bel was! How would he face him now? Surely, someone told him about it. Right?

"Come with me, Bel-Chan!" Lussuria said, pushing Bel toward the door.

He growled, but allowed himself to be steered toward the front door. His curiosity towards what was currently driving toward them kept him from turning around and stabbing the other Varia members who were snickering behind his back. They stepped outside and waited. Bel fidgeted some. He could feel himself starting to sweat.

"Everything is going to be fine, Bel," Lussuria said quietly.

Bel ground his teeth in annoyance. "I'm not worried," he muttered.

Lussuria just hid a smile as he saw Bel blushing.

Fran's stomach did a flip as the car pulled to a stop. There were two people standing on the front steps. One with a crazy mohawk and a fluffy jacket who was…. jumping up and down and the other, a blonde with shaggy hair and a crown…? These people really were weird. The one with the mohawk rushed up and opened the door.

"Fran-Chan!" He cried exuberantly. "You're finally here! Welcome! Welcome!" He ushered him out of the car. "How was your flight? You must be exhausted! And, oh- Look how cute you are! You've grown up so much since we last saw you!"

Fran opened his mouth to speak, most likely to say something sarcastic, but the guy just kept on talking as he led him up the steps.

"Do you remember me Fran-Chan? I'm Lussuria!" The guy babbled on.

He looked up to see the blonde frowning down at him. His bangs were covering half his face.

"-and this is your other new Senpai, Bel-"

Fran's stomach flip-flopped at the name. "Bel?" He asked, frowning.

"You, little peasant, will address me as Bel-Sama," the blonde said.

"Bel?" He repeated.

"Are you deaf?" Bel snapped.

"Do you remember Bel, Fran-Chan?" Lussuria asked hopefully.

"Aren't you supposed to be a girl?" He asked.

Bel nearly choked in surprise. "What?!" He snarled. "No! I'm a fucking guy, you stupid little shit!"

"Um… Fran-Chan, this is Belphegor," Lussuria said uncertainly.

"Oh," he said, feeling relieved.

"'Oh?' What do you mean 'oh'?!" Bel cried. "Who the hell told you I was a girl?!"

Fran hesitated. "Well, I guess there is another Bel in the Varia, right? A girl…?"

"There's not!" Bel snarled. "I'm the only Bel here!"

Fran's cheeks turned bright pink. Lussuria was starting to giggle. "But Mukuro-Sama told me…"

"Told you what?" Bel demanded.

"That Bel was my girlfriend in the future."

Bel turned bright red, too shocked to say anything.

"Oh, dear!" Lussuria gasped. "I think your master played a trick on you, Fran-Chan!"

Fran gave him a blank look.

"I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL THAT GUY!" Bel shouted.

"Ah- Bel, It's not a big deal-"

"THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!"

"Are you sure?" Fran asked. "I mean, you don't get a sex change or something?"

Bel snarled and grabbed Fran by his collar, ready to clobber him. Lussuria quickly intervened.

"Bel, don't- I'm sure this is all some big misunderstanding, but we can get it all straightened out!" Lussuria said quickly. "Fran-Chan, Bel is a male, he always has been and I think it's safe to say, always will be. You two are together in the future and-"

"Were," Bel snapped. "Were together, because it sure as hell won't happen again!" Bel shoved Fran back and stormed back into the mansion.

Lussuria helped Fran stay up right.

"I don't understand," Fran said. "Am I supposed to be gay?"

"Well, I don't really know, Fran-Chan," Lussuria said. "You apparently are in the future, but you don't have to be. You can like whomever you want. It's completely up to you, but gosh, I really wish you could remember everything."

Fran frowned.

"Hey, why don't we go and let you meet everyone?" Lussuria said, changing the subject. "Then I can show you around!"

Fran nodded numbly. He would certainly have to get Mukuro back for this. He had made a horrible first impression.

Fran was wandering the halls on his third day there. He was starting to feel quite frustrated, though he didn't show it. He was lost. Again. The mansion had so many halls and staircases, which all looked the same to him. He had spent most of his time in his room. Usually only coming out if Lussuria led him to the dining room to eat. He would have surely starved otherwise. The Varia ate all of their meals together and it was always loud and chaotic. Lussuria was the only one that didn't completely ignore him. Bel wouldn't even look his way. Not that he could really blame him. He had mistaken him for a girl after all.

Lussuria had left for a mission that morning so Fran would now be forced to find his way on his own. It was past lunchtime and Fran was hungry. He had skipped breakfast, not interested in wandering the endless halls until it was really necessary. He was so lost now that he feared he may never find his way out. He felt as though he had been wandering for hours (though it was really about 20 minutes). He stopped abruptly as he saw a door on his right open. Finally another human! He was saved! Out stumbled a groggy Belphegor, still dressed in his pajamas. Fran felt his hopes fall. Bel yawned as he was adjusting his crown and looked up at Fran.

"What are you doing outside the prince's room?" He asked, his voice gruff from sleep.

Fran was too distracted to answer as Bel reached beneath his thin white t-shirt to scratch at his chest. Bel's toned abdomen was left exposed. Fran could see a strange mark near his bellybutton. What was that? A birthmark? It had to be. He could feel his cheeks heating up.

"Oi, Toad," Bel said impatiently interrupting his ogling.

Fran's eyes snapped up to meet where he assumed Bel's eyes to be. "I'm lost," he said lamely.

Bel snorted. "Lost?" He said, lip curling in disgust. "Are you stupid?"

"This place is too big," Fran said rather defensively.

"Hardly," Bel said. "The prince's castle was ten times as big."

"Are you really a prince, Senpai?" He asked. "You don't look like one."

Bel growled. "What would you know about princes, peasant?" He snapped. "You're blind anyway, confusing me to be a girl."

"Ah…" Fran said. "I am sorry about that, Senpai."

Bel frowned at him, but his face softened as he watched Fran. The kid really was cute. "Where are you trying to go?" He grumbled.

"The kitchen," Fran said.

"I'll take you there," Bel said. "But only because I'm going there too."

"Your generosity is overwhelming," Fran said sounding sincere.

Bel hesitated, not sure if he was being absurdly sarcastic or he really meant what he said. The kid's usually blank face was hard to read.

"Che," he grunted and led them down the hall.

They appeared in the kitchen a few minutes later. Bel went straight for the last of the coffee and grabbed an apple before sitting down at the island. Fran opened one of the many fridges they had and peered inside. He saw orange juice on the top shelf and reached for it, but couldn't quite get it.

"Bummer," he sighed.

He could hear Bel snickering at him. He reached for it again, standing on the tips of his toes. Bel suddenly appeared beside him.

"You're short," he stated.

"I think I know that better than anyone, Senpai," Fran said frowning.

"Shishishi," Bel giggled as he easily grabbed the juice and handed it to him.

"Thanks," he grumbled.

Bel grinned widely. "You're quite useless, aren't you?"

Fran shrugged and searched the cabinets. Bel sat back down at the island. Fran pulled out cornflakes and set them on the counter.

"Where are the bowls?" He asked.

Bel pointed in the right direction and after a moment or two of searching, he managed to find a bowl and spoon. He poured his cornflakes.

"What are you doing?!" Bel exclaimed as Fran poured orange juice on his cereal.

"I don't really like milk," he said, a little confused. "You've never had cereal this way?"

"No! That's disgusting," Bel said.

"Have you ever tried it?" He asked as he moved around the island to sit by him.

"No," Bel said, wrinkling his nose.

Fran shrugged again and started eating. Bel watched him in amazement. They stayed silent for a while, when Bel suddenly plucked his spoon from him and stuck it in his own mouth. Fran peered up at him, quite surprised.

"Hmm," Bel said. "I guess it's okay." He handed the spoon back to him.

Fran stared at the spoon for a moment. "You're going to give me cooties, Senpai," he said.

Bel snorted. "That spoon is a lot cleaner now that it's been in a prince's mouth."

"I don't think fake princes count," Fran said.

Bel growled. "This prince is not fake. Say that again and I'll stab you," he said. A knife appeared from out of nowhere and was pointed at his throat.

"Ahh, Senpai," he droned. "You're not the first person to threaten me."

"That doesn't surprise me," Bel muttered.

Fran finished off his cereal. "Senpai, I don't know how to get back to my room."

Bel laughed and stood up. "You're on your own now. The prince has had enough of annoying frogs today." He threw his apple core at Fran's head and disappeared.

Fran sighed. "Great. I'll never make it back."

However, he was feeling slightly cheerful about the encounter. This was the first time Bel had spoken to him since the day he arrived, but he was also feeling confused. Did it really matter if Bel talked to him? Maybe. He was also confused by his own reaction to seeing Bel's stomach. He had never found himself looking at a guy like that before. What was going on? Was he gay? He didn't quite like the idea of it.

"How does it even work?" He muttered to himself. "Master never explained it to me."

The future doesn't have to turn out the same way. Lussuria had said so. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Poor lost Fran... More soon! Thanks for the reviews!
