Chapter One: Housemates.

Fran hated morning people.

Or mornings.

Or people.

It was just his usual morning; eating breakfast, listening to his old man's blabbing and to his mother's squealing. Nothing much changed. Except to one horrible fact.

A deadly, horrible one fact.

This is the day that he would be living 'alone'.

With a stranger.

"Oh, Fran-kun, isn't this day you'll be living alone?" His father asked; smiling a little.

"Oh, that's right? Aren't you excited?" His mother agreed; clasping her hands together as he faced Fran with gleaming eyes.

"Absolutely not." Fran answered; his eyes glaring at the pitiful chocolate chip pancakes in front of him.

"Eh? Why is that?" His mother asked; completely worried.

"Yeah, you're the one who decided that you should be living alone. Are you, perhaps, sad because you will live alone?" His father reasoned before he stuffed his mouth with pancakes.

Fran sighed and pushed his plates a little away from him; indicating that he has lost his appetite. "Actually, it's the opposite. I'm not living alone." He said before he stood up. "Excuse me."

"Eh? You don't want your pancakes?" his mother asked; sadness, confusion and anger appearing in her voice. How could anyone dare not to finish her world-class and delicious pancakes?

"It's not that. I'm late for school." Fran said as he pointed to the grandfather clock nearby. He then picked up his bag and started to walk away.

"Wait, Fran." His father stopped him. "Do you know who he or she is?" He asked.

Fran raised an eyebrow at that. "Sorry, no idea." He said as he started to walk again.

"Fran, you need to be careful. This world is full of many wild wolves. Always use protection. If you know what I mean." His father said; looking at Fran with a smudgy look.

Fran chocked with a miraculously unknowingly reason. What the heck was his father thinking? Yes, he does know that he could attract both boys and girls because of his cool demeanour and girly features, but… why the heck would his father think of him having a sexual intercourse with a random stranger that would be in the same house with him?

Fran shook his head to cool his head off and headed towards the door. "I'm going…"

This is going to be a hard and long day….

"Bel-kun, do you want some steak?" Belphegor's mother offered.

"No." Belphegor answered.

"Why? Everybody loves steas!" His mother cooed; pouting a little.

"Oh, you're a no-good. Bel-kun, you want fettuccine?" His father offered; holding up the fettuccine pasta.

"No." Belphegor answered; looking away a little.

"Why? I cooked it for you! That's not nice." his father shouted dramatically as if something terrible, for example world war III, has happened.

"Ahh… I don't want it."Belphegor said; resting his hands on his chin.

"Why?! Are you sick?" his mother asked worriedly.

"Are you sick? Ehh?! Ehh?! Let me make you some soup!" his father said before he stood up readily.

Belphegor growled and grabbed his father by the arm. "Stop..." he mumbled; his voice low, scary and maybe legitimately angry.

"huh?" his father droned out; looking at Belphegor with confused eyes.

Belphegor stood up and inhaled and with all his power; he shouted. "Fuck this shit! Are you trying to kill me by stuffing all this shit into my stomach?!" His slammed his fists on the table; making all the various dishes jump from the force. He panted before he turned on his heels and began to walk towards the door. "I'm going, I'll be late." and head towards the door, opening it then walking outside.

This is going to be a tiring day…

The Vongola University was actually an extravagant school; complete facilities and shits that approves that it was well-managed school. Too anime-like in Fran's dictionary. But how could he complain? He is from an anime.

Fran headed towards his class and what he saw there was chaos.

No, chaos was not enough.

Japanese LRT-like is the right word.

Students were scattered, papers were scattered, ball pens were scattered and most importantly, weapons were scattered.

Wait… weapons?

What in the motherfucking butt-sniffing hell?

This class is absolutely not normally.

Absolutely and scientifically proven not normal.

Fran just sighed and took the nearest empty seat to him which was surrounded by a few, beyond normal students.

"Ew. What the heck are you doing?! Don't seat near to me! Who the hell are you?" A silver-haired man shouted as he stood up as if asking for a fight.

"Maa, maa. Gokudera, calm down." The too-happy-to-be normal man said; smiling brightly.

"G-gokudera-kun. Please calm down." A Son Goku haired boy said; a nervous smile plastered on his girly face.

"Hmph." The silverette scoffed before he disrespectfully sat back on his seat.

"Ahahaha. Sorry about that. By the way, what's your name?" the too-happy to be normal guy asked; smiling brightly like there was no tomorrow.

"Ah-ahno, you're younger than everyone here, right?" the Son Goku-haired male asked; nervousness and inquisitiveness wrapped in his tone.

"…" Fran, being a stubborn brat, refused to answer. He just felt like to be a snob today.

And that certain action ticked off a certain silverette. How could this random green-haired stranger not answer the Tenth's questions?

"Oi, are you deaf? What's your name?" The silverette asked; glaring at Fran.

Fran turned his head lazily at the silverette's direction and then gave him a lazy, bored and expressionless look. "You know, it's a common etiquette that you should introduce yourself first before asking for others." Fran informed with an expressionless voice and face which earned him two nervous laughs and one low and angry "Smart-ass…"

"Ahahaha. That's right. I'm Yamamoto." said the happy man now known as Yamamoto as he scratched the back of his head.

"T-tsuna. Tsunayoshi Sawada." The Son Goku haired guy now known as Tsuna introduced; fidgeting and stuttering for an unknown reason.

Fran nodded in recognition before all of them turned their attention to a certain silver-haired man; who shivered at the attention he was receiving.

Tsuna laughed nervously before he tapped the shoulder of the man in front of him. "G-gokudera-kun, introduce yourself." He said; nervously like he has some neurological disorder.

"Ahaha, that's right Gokudera." Yamamoto agreed; smiling brightly as if he wasn't receiving a death-glare from the person he was speaking to.

"Tch. Shut up, baseball freak." Gokudera growled before he looked nervously at Tsuna; who was looking at him expectantly. He clicked his tongue before he faced Fran; who was looking rather looking lazily at him. "..For the sake of the Tenth…"

'What the heck is with that nickname?' Fran thought; finding the nickname rather weird but shrugged it off as the man that was looking at him spoke.

"Gokudera Hayato…" he mumbled as he glared at Fran. "Nice to meet you…*"

Fran's eyes narrowed at the greeting he received. "It's Fran…" he mumbled; his eyes still narrowed.

"Ahaha, nice to meet you, Fran." Yamamoto greeted as he smiled. Seriously, doesn't his jaw bone ever get tired?

"N-nice to meet you…" Tsuna greeted; nodding slightly and nervously.

"Nice to meet you too." Fran greeted; nodding in recognition.

"Tch." Gokudera clicked his tongue in annoyance; nobody knows why.

"Ah, Fran, aren't you younger than the rest of us? What's your age?" Tsuna asked; inquisitiveness and a pint of nervousness wrapped in his girly voice. What the hell is wrong with him? Why is he nervous?

"Yes, I am sevente-…" Fran answered but was cut short when the door was brutally slammed open; earning the attention of the group. What stood there was a tall, lean, disastrous, scary, no eyes, ugly, freak, psychopath, eerie blond guy.

Suddenly, the blond guy turned his attention to Fran before he smiled widely that was so wide to be true. The guy seemed to be annoyed. Why?

Oh, he voiced his thoughts out.

Damn…

The blonde then strode towards Fran; looming over the younger boy.

"What did you say, kid?" The blond said threateningly like some badass guy.

Fran looked up at the man. "I sad you're a tall, lean, disaster-offgghmmmhhhggg..ohgg…." Fran said but was muffled as the blonde covered his mouth.

"Shut it or I might slice your throat." The blonde guy warned.

But Fran seems to be trying to be cool. "youshffghhmmmhh…" He tried to reason out that he was asking him what he just said but it seems so hard to talk if there's a hand over your mouth.

"I said shut up." The blonde growled in annoyance as his blood pressure rose.

Fran was looking reluctant at first but nodded as the blonde squeezed his cheeks. He didn't want to be reported on his first day.

"Shishi. Good. By the way, you should always obey me because I'm Belphegor, a prince." smiled widely that can beat the smile of Joker as he spat out his introduction. He then let his hand slide down to let Fran praise him. "And, I can clearly see you are at least four years younger than me. Call me senpai. Shishishi."

Fran just stared at him; doing nothing but converting oxygen to carbon dioxide. And that ticked off the blond. He grabbed Fran's collar and pulled him closer just to threaten him and look like a bully.

That certain action earned him two "Ah" and one "Hiieee!"

"Bel-senpai, you're trying so hard to be a badass. Stop it, you don't look cool, you just look like a paedophile." Fran said monotonously; no fear, anger or eagerness showing in his voice and face.

"You disrespectful kid, what's your name?" Bel asked; annoyed as he tightened his grip on Fran's collar

"It's… Fran… And will you stop calling me a kid?" Fran answered as Belphegor let go of him; harshly. Fran then fixed his clothes as he again, stared at the man in front of him.

"What a girly name, kid. And, no way, you're a kid that's why I'll call you a kid," Belphegor's smile widened; threatening to split his face into two equal pieces.

"Fucking made sense…" Fran mumbled; irritation growing on his usually cool demeanour. Belphegor heard it but shrugged it off. "Shishi, I'll let you go for that. Since I'm a grown up adult, I will let a kid's comment go." Belphegor said as he ruffled Fran's hair.

Fran ignored the action because he was used to it. Why does everyone liked to ruffle his hair and pet him?! What is he, a dog?

Belphegor then turned on his heels and settled down on the seat next to Fran's. Fran then stood up; causing everyone near him to look up at him. He then looked at Belphegor. "Ew. What are you doing? Don't seat near to me. Who the hell are you?" Fran said monotonously as he imitated Gokudera's pose before.

"What the hell?" Belphegor was confused.

"Oi, are you mocking me, freak?!" Gokudera growled as he stood up; looming Fran over. Fran then cursed genetics at his height problem.

"No." Fran answered immediately. He then faced Belphegor. "Senpai, please do not seat near me." Fran said; face void of all emotions and voice filled with emptiness.

"No way. I seat where I want because I am a prince." Belphegor reasoned out; smiling widely again.

"Oh, senpai. You forgot your 'Ushishishishi~'" Fran reminded Belphegor. "Ah, now that I think of it, if it was translated in English… your laugh would be 'U death death death death ~"

"Mind your own laugh, kid." Belphegor hissed. Seriously, what's up with this kid? No one has ever made fun or translated his laugh.

"Fine…" Fran seated down and was followed by Gokudera who sat down angrily for an unknown and un-understandable reason.

Then, the teacher walked in and a boring class was started; so boring that the author decided not to write it.

After 3 hours of boring class; the bell has finally decided to ring. Seriously, one subject for 3 hours?! What a massive punishment for your aching butt.

Fran yawned as he stood up and stretched; like what almost all of the students did.

Suddenly, the professor approached Belphegor and talked about something Fran didn't care about. But he soon cared about it when Belphegor grinned and looked at him.

"Shishi… Looks like I'll be your baby-sitter for now-…" Belphegor was cut off when the professor talked to Gokudera.

"Gokudera-san, please accompany Fran-san too…" The professor requested.

"Why in the hell would I?!" Gokudera complained; his face filled with anger.

The teacher grinned and whispered something inaudible to others to Gokudera. Maybe something… weird? The weird face that Gokudera made when the professor pulled away proved the point.

"I-I understand… Just please… don't…" Gokudera pleaded with all his might.

"It's good that you understand." The professor then smiled like he was in control of the situation.

After the professor walked away from them, Gokudera mumbles something like "Stupid old fag…"

Belphegor then walked towards the silverette and tapped his shoulders. "That kid is within your hands…. Shishi." He said as he pointed at Fran.

"W-what?! Why the fu-" Gokudera growled but was cut off by Belphegor. "Shishi… I know that 'thing'." And by the mention of the 'thing', Gokudera's face made some acrobatics again. What was this thing?

"D-damn… all of you…" Gokudera glared at Belphegor then looked at Fran and sighed. Why was he going to baby-sit this green brat? "F-fine… just don't tell it to anybody." Gokudera emphasized the word 'anybody' for it to go through that thick and massive skull of the blond.

"Deal." Belphegor then grinned widely as he walked over to Fran. "See you later, kid." He then ruffled Fran's hair.

Fran just stared at him; inwardly cursing his height and their height. But his thoughts were interrupted when Gokudera gripped his shoulder hardly, so hard that his eyes slightly squeezed.

"Come on, Brat… Let's go to the cafeteria… I'm hungry" Gokudera said angrily as he glared down at Fran.

Fran just looked at him and nodded; secretly hoping that this certain man would stop gripping his shoulders.

Then, they just walked out of the room, leaving the two people that were sleeping soundlessly.

The cafeteria was good, nice and clean. No problem, no chaos and no other shits that could ruin the eating of someone. It was quite peaceful.

But it is not, according to Fran.

That's because it is not peaceful when a certain eating silverette was trying to kill or burn you with the use of their eyes.

This was not peaceful.

Fran cleared his throat. "Gokudera, if you want to kill me, please do it more discreetly." Fran suggested as he looked at the glaring silverette in front of him.

"Che. I'm not an assassin." Gokudera then changed his gaze. "Anyway, finish what you're stuffing in your mouth, let's go outside."

"Why?" Fran question as he took a very small bite of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"Agh, can't you eat faster?!" Gokudera growled. "And, I can't smoke here."

"Why are you taking me also?" Fran questioned; tilting his head to the side as he again, took a small bite in his sandwich.

"Agh! Eat faster! Eat like a man, dammit!" Gokudera growled. "And I can't leave you alone! You might get lost since you are so small."

That angered Fran, so angry that he managed to glare at Gokudera and throw a used napkin at his face. Gokudera growled at that. "Agh! Just finish that! Pronto!"

Fran looked over his side; trying to calm his self as he took a bigger bite of his sandwich.

After Fran finished, they walked outside and Gokudera immediately lit up his cigarette.

Fran covered his nose at the disgusting smell of the cigarette. Damn, a second-hand smoker is far more prone to lung cancer!

Gokudera then noticed it and threw his cigarette away; stepping on it to kill the fire. "Are you that health conscious?" He then raised his eyebrow.

Fran stopped covering his nose as the smell was slightly gone. "Yes… And, why do you smoke?"

"I don't know too, it's addicting. Once you started it's hard to stop." Gokudera informed as he looked at the dim sky.

"Like sex?" Fran suggested; not caring about what he just said.

Gokudera's head snapped at the greenette's answer. "What the… I thought you're innocent!"

"Anybody does…" Fran mumbled. Seriously, how would he not know of these things when he was considered a genius?

Gokudera sighed as he laughed slightly. "You're one interesting kid, huh?" He then patted Fran's head.

Fran looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Why is that?"

"Haha, nothing… You just really looked innocent…" Gokudera smiled slightly. "Hey, how about be my younger brother?"

Fran narrowed his eyes and shook his head. Gokudera sighed slightly. "Yes, that's too fast… how about be my apprentice?" Gokudera suggested.

Fran made a thinking noise as he nodded his head slightly. "Whatever…"

"Yosh, from now on you'll be my apprentice!" Gokudera announced as he slung an arm on Fran's shoulder.

No, tried to.

If it wasn't of his heart making a weird, confusing beat.

Gokudera's eyes widened at that. He never felt this way before… does he have some heart malfunctions or his abused lungs were also abusing his now weird heart?

He could control it until; Fran spoke and caught him off guard. "What?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow.

Gokudera looked anywhere but Fran and scratched the back of his head as he laughed nervously. "Nothing, nothing… Let's just go quickly inside before we catch cold."

Fran stared at him before nodding.

And then, they walked inside the university with Gokudera feeling something inside his stomach that his stomach acids failed to destroy.

'Maybe I should really stop smoking…' Gokudera thought to himself.

When they got in the university, they've pretty much got into a small, beyond normal conversation about some stuff normal people would not talk about. Nothing much, they've really enjoyed each other's company, though they won't admit it.

"No, I'm still a Marauder." Gokudera said; sighing.

"That's pretty cool. By the way, who's your favourite?" Fran asked.

"Uh… I think… Paul?" Gokudera said; slightly unsure.

"Oh, I prefer Steve too…" Fran suggested.

"Oh, the boxer… I like him too…" Gokudera said as he smiled.

They were just talking like normal people. Until, they bumped into a sudden group consisting of a raven haired man with many scars, a very girly man, a man that cannot be described by words and a certain long-haired man.

"Ah, Captain Squalo!" Fran blurted out; recognizing the long-haired man in front of them.

That certain man snapped his head to Fran and he made a shocked noise. "What the hell are you doing here, you little scum?!"

Fran sighed. "Captain, don't be like that… Even though you love me so much before." Fran said before he tried to suppress a smirk.

Squalo blushed from embarrassment, anger and frustration. "T-that's not it! You damned brat! I was just helping you because you were an underclassmen!" Squalo shouted.

Suddenly, the angry looking raven-haired man spoke. "Trash, it is a world of mysterious thing, a world of cruelty and a world of complicated-ness… I have nothing against the relationship of the two of you, paedophile trash."

Squalo snapped his attention to the raven-haired male. "Voi, Xanxus, what the fuck?! Are you seriously thinking that I would have a relationship with a person that is 5 years younger than me?! And it's Fran we're talking about!" Squalo growled before he panted from lacking of spaces in his ranting.

That seemed to catch the attention of Xanxus. His eyes widened as if he has just woken up from a horrible dream. "That 'trash'?" he asked; emphasizing the word 'trash'

"Yes!" Squalo confirmed as he pointed at Fran.

Before Xanxus could react, the flamboyant male squealed. "Fran-chan?! Where? Ahhh~! Fran-chan!" he them immediately leaped towards the younger male who backed away a little.

"Wah~! You've grown so much~!" Lussuria squealed; hugging Fran tightly.

Fran looked at Xanxus as if asking for help, but unfortunately and horribly ignored. He then looked over at Squalo and gained the same treatment. He looked over at Gokudera, but only received a "Good luck" and a pity look from the guy. And last but not the least; he looked over at the man who was completely forgotten. The man looked over at Fran and snorted, a small grin lingering on that man's lips.

'Damn all of you, humans…' Fran cursed mentally as he glared at the people who was looking anywhere but him.

Suddenly and thankfully, he was released from the hug after what seemed like hours. He inhaled all of the oxygen he could as he grabbed Gokudera by the arm and ran as fast as he could before anyone could flood him with questions, complaints and more questions.

They panted like they just had an Olympic battle.

After Gokudera gained his breath, he asked Fran. "Who the hell are they?"

Fran looked at him with an emotionless face; the tiredness from the run was not shown in his face. "They are my seniors."

Gokudera clicked his tongue. "Of course, I am your senior too. What I mean is what your relationship with them is?!"

Fran looked over to the side. "They're my seniors." He answered monotonously.

Gokudera felt his frustration well up. "I know that already! What your relationship with them beside that is what I am asking!"

Fran made a realization sound before he spoke. "The long haired one was the captain and the vice president, the angry one was the club president, and the gay one was the manager… hmmm, did I forgot someone…? Oh, the forgotten one was a… team-mate."

Gokudera made a confused sound. "What club, by the way?"

"Football…" Fran answered as he walked away from Gokudera.

Gokudera was shocked; so shocked to the point that a lightning was set as the background. "Y-you… You're not trying to be sarcastic or anything, right?"

"Why?" Fran was confused.

"T-that's… Impossible… you, as small as a 12-year old kid would play 'football'?! That's just plain ridiculous!" Gokudera shouted; shocked, confusion and uncomfortable-ness was shown in his face.

Fran glared at him. "I am not small, I am fun-sized. And don't underestimate me because I'm small you racist bastard."

Gokudera gulped and proceeded to ruffle Fran's hair; trying to calm him down. "Okay..."

Fran then shooed away the hand and hissed at Gokudera; making the ruffle his hair more.

Then, the bell rang and they got back to their class.

The Laboratory class took 6 hours. 6 fucking hours before the teacher got bored and finally released his students.

Fran stretched and yawned. Checking his watch and then packing his things. Fran looked to his side to see a blank and empty seat. 'I want to ditch class too…' Fran thought as he felt his butt aching from too much sitting.

Suddenly, there was a familiar tap on his shoulder. He turned his attention from the tapper and saw a silver haired man. "What business do you have with me?" He asked; raising an eyebrow.

"H-hey, let's go home together." Gokudera asked; uneasiness plastered on his face.

"Okay…" Fran answered. 'Now that I think of it, I would be in a different house now.' Fran thought as he pulled out a piece of paper; containing the address of his new house.

They proceeded to walk out of the university; leaving two confused students behind.

"When did those two get close?" Yamamoto asked to no one in particular.

"Probably just a few hours before…"Tsuna answered.

"Ah, by the way, let's go home now, it's 6:00 pm…" Yamamoto offered as he looked at his cellphone.

Tsuna stood up and packed his things. "Yeah, we'll be bitten to death if we got caught by the son of the owner of this university…" Tsuna said; a scary and bothered looked on his face.

"Yeah, that man's pretty scary…" Yamamoto agreed.

Then they walked out of the university, talking about how the hell did Gokudera and Fran get close to each other. Or how did Gokudera became close to Fran too fast.

Fran looked at the paper at his hand and then at the house. "Ah, so I'm here…"

Gokudera looked at Fran and asked. "You live with your parents?"

"No, from now on I will live alone…" Fran answered as he walked to the gate of the house.

"Too big for a small creature like you…" Gokudera mumbled; earning a glare from Fran.

"I'm not the only one living here. There are two of us." Fran answered; angrily and pissed. 'Once I became tall I will shove a unicorn horn up to your asses…'

"Then, goodnight." Gokudera said; waving at Fran.

Fran nodded and mumbled a low. "Night. Thanks"

Fran exhaled tiredly. He wanted to rest, sleep or even hibernate. This tiring day would repeat itself again tomorrow and will only stop when weekend comes. 'Two days of weekend… five days of weekday… ten months for school and 2 months for vacation, who divided this shit up?!' Fran thought as he angrily cursed who divided those resting and non-resting days.

'Is my Housemate here…?' Fran thought but shrugged it off as he proceeded on walking upstairs.

Suddenly, he heard some noise from what it looks like to be a kitchen. His curiosity triggered and he peeked his head on it. His eyes grew wide at what he saw and witnessed. His eyes were so wide it was just like an innocent kid seeing his parents having sex.

"Senpai…" Fran called for the blonde's attention.

The blonde turned his attention to the boy and his mouth gaped open, albeit from shock.

"Why are you here?" They asked in unison; shock and confusion appearing in their voices.

"That's because I live here." Again, they answered in unison.

Both of their eyes widened as they practically shouted "EHHH?!"

'So you are my housemate…' They thought in unison. 'Shit happens…'

Tsudzuku

*Gokudera used the way of greeting of a delinquent... Which could be read as... "Die in the middle of a dark road"... Or maybe like that...

Note: when belphegor's father was talking... The slanted words are in english... So... Imagine that theyre talking in japanese... And wondering why they speak japanese even though theyre half? Simple. Anime logic.

Okay, I am so sorry for the late update… Two week interval, damn… I suck… I am so sorry again… Sorry sorry… I am in a vacation, again….

But it was long, right? Longer than the first one… but… it's kind of weird… a 5926…? Naaah…

I felt weird re-reading those scenes but.. yeah…

Please, hang in there… The first event was just the beginning… there are more ideas popping out of my mind… but please don't expect romance… because this will have a very, I mean very slow development between Bel and Fran… but yeah… weird…

But there will be a romance… don't worry… just a pint though…

Anyway, thankyou for the reviews. Sorry that i update so slow... Since... Class is starting...
