"Oi! Where the hell is your damn brat at, Spanner?"
Said blonde turned around to see Bel marching towards the garage where he was working on a car.
"Well…he should be at school" Spanner said as he swirled his lollipop around in his mouth.
"Don't students get winter break?" Bel asked, angrily shoving his hands in his pockets.
"That started the day after his birthday and ended just yesterday" Spanner said as he went back to working on Mukuro's car.
Bel clenched his teeth together angrily before he spoke again, "Then where the hell as he been the entire break?"
"Hibernating."
"Hibernating?"
"Yep. He just stays up in his room, sleeps all day and eats when he feels like it. He only leaves to use the bathroom."
"Your kid is weird."
"He's not mine."
Bel frowned and crossed his arms over his chest, "I wanna race him. I kept calling him yesterday but he wouldn't answer. Even when Squalo called he didn't answer and Squalo got so pissed that he broke his phone."
"He didn't answer my calls either but he never answers his phone when he's with Haru and Takashi" Spanner said with a shrug and grunted when he finally found the problem with Mukuro's car.
Bel's frown deepened and leaned against the wall of the garage while he watched Spanner work on the car. After some time of being watched Spanner closed the hood of the car and leaned against it before he turned to Bel.
"Look, he won't come to the tracks voluntarily right now" Spanner pulled the lollipop stick out of his mouth, "He gets out of school at 3."
Bel bit back his smile and Spanner went back to working on fixing the car while the blonde ran out of the garage.
"Belphegor wants to race Fran?" Shoichi asked as he walked out of one of the rooms in the garage.
"Yep" Spanner replied.
"He does know he won't win right?"
"He's hopeful."
"And confident."
"And prideful."
"And dumb."
"And…he's warmed up to Fran" Spanner said lowly, a frown appearing on his lips.
"This upsets you why?" Shoichi asked as he leaned against the side of the car.
"I have a bad feeling about this" Spanner said and went back to the car.
"You don't want to lose Fran anymore than you already have."
Spanner frowned and pulled out from under the hood of the car. He looked over to Shoichi who gave him a knowing smirk.
"First it was Haru and Takashi when he started high school. Then when she was older it was Uni. Then Kyoko and Kirino. I…I feel like I'm slowly loosing my best friend. It doesn't feel good."
"You make it look like he's your lover."
"Ew, don't put it like that."
Shoichi chuckled at that and shook his head, "Fran's given you a lot and as his life goes on he'll be giving the same things he gave to you to other people."
"He can't give his virginity to anyone else" Spanner rolled his eyes and threw a lollipop stick at the red head.
"I know but someday he'll sleep with someone else. He'll always love you but there will always be someone else he'll love in a different way."
"You're making it sound like I'm in love with him" Spanner frowned.
"Weren't you at one point?"
"Yeah when we were younger but still…I have Hayato now."
"The love you held for Fran is still there, it hasn't changed much, has it? You can't let him go yet, can you?"
Spanner sighed and slammed the hood of the car down before he sat on it. "I love Hayato, I really do. I want to give him everything. But…a part of me just won't go. I can't help it. I just can't stop loving my best friend in that way."
Shoichi went over to his friend and wrapped an arm around his shoulder, "So now you're stuck huh? You love Hayato but Fran still holds the bigger piece of your heart."
"That makes me feel bad…"
"Of course, 'cause you really just want Hayato don't you?"
"I want them both."
"…That's your problem right there."
Spanner groaned and threw his head back. Shoichi put his hands behind his head so he wouldn't hit the windshield.
"If it's Fran, I can have him right?"
"It all depends on his feelings for you."
"If it's Hayato, I could have him too, right?"
Shoichi looked over to the parking lot where a red Ferrari F430 was parking.
"Yeah."
~0~0~0~0~
"Mammon!"
Mammon turned around to see Bel running towards him, a small smile on his face. The purple haired male shoved his phone in his pocket and waited for Bel to reach him.
"What's up with you?"
"Come with me to pick up the brat."
"You mean my nephew."
"Yeah that one" Bel said with a small nod.
"Why do you look so happy?" Mammon asked, raising an eyebrow in question.
"I'll finally be getting my race!" Bel said happily.
"That is if you don't lose to my talented nephew" Mammon said, smirking a little when Bel's smile fell into a frown.
"You should support me more" Bel said with a huff, crossing his arms across his chest, "I'm your boyfriend, y'know."
"Bros before hoes" Mammon said with a shrug.
Bel frowned, "Fran isn't your 'bro' and I am most definitely not a hoe."
Mammon smirked before he gave Bel a small peck to his lips.
"Will you come with me to pick the brat up?" Bel asked, wrapping his arms around Mammon's shoulders.
Mammon's hand slipped into his pocket, cutting off the call he was receiving before turning his phone off.
"Sure, let's go."
(A/N) So, how many of you can guess what part of the plot is about?
