"You know, Fran's insomnia isn't really normal," Bel said to Mammon as he sat on the hood of his car, a book on his lap.
"How so?" Mammon asked his boyfriend as he leaned against the Aston Martin.
"Well, it says here that insomnia can affect a person's motor coordination," Bel explained. "Fran can drive really well and he doesn't stumble around either when he walks."
"Are you finally admitting that my nephew is a better racer than you?" Mammon asked with a smirk.
"What? No!" Bel shouted and scowled at his boyfriend before going back to the book.
"What are you researching insomnia for anyway?"
"Um…I have a report on it."
"For what class?"
"Literature."
"You don't take that class."
Bel groaned and pouted at his defeat. Mammon smirked and looked over to Bel.
"You're concerned about Fran's sleeping," Mammon said with a smug tone.
"We have a rematch soon and I don't want him falling asleep at the wheel. He needs to be at his best," Bel said and nodded as if he were trying to reassure himself of his answer.
Mammon sighed and shook his head at his boyfriend's stubbornness, "Why won't you just admit that you care for him?"
"Why does it sound like you're trying to get me to fall in love with him or something?" Bel asked and gave Mammon a questioning look.
Mammon bit his lip and hung his head before whispering only low enough for himself to hear.
"What was that?" Bel asked.
Mammon shook his head and pushed off the car before he headed towards where Levi and Lussuria were playing cards.
Bel frowned and was ready to go back to his book when he saw Spanner walk by his car. He quickly slid off the hood and followed after the elder blonde, stopping when Spanner entered the garage.
"Hey, where's Fran?" Bel asked casually.
"He's with Verde, he'll be there for a few days, and depending on the results you'll be having your rematch soon," Spanner answered as he popped the hood of Fran's car open.
"He's with Verde?"
"Yep. I'm hoping being around someone who's related to him by blood will help him sleep better."
"He's around Mammon a lot though and that didn't seem to help."
"Verde…looks like Hazama."
"Oh."
Spanner bit his lip and nodded as he checked the inside of the car for anything that may be wrong with it.
"All Mammon has is his mother's marks, Verde has the green hair which somewhat resembles Hazama's. Fran…from what I remember is a perfect blend of Hazama and Noel. His hair is darker than Hazama's which is probably the result of Noel's blonde hair mixing in there. Hazama's eyes were yellow too while Noel's were a light green and that most likely created Fran's shade. Fran is…Fran is perfect," Spanner muttered to mostly himself but to Belphegor as well.
"You sound like you're…um…are you?" Bel asked awkwardly.
Spanner nodded.
"But Hayato…"
"It's complicated. Fran is my best friend and I've loved him since we were kids but with Hayato it was more of a love at first sight thing. Though my feelings for Fran are getting in the way of being able to love Hayato the way I want to."
"That does sound complicated."
"How do you feel about Fran?"
Bel's eyes widened behind his bangs, taken aback by the question.
"I don't like him, "Bel said surely. "He gets on my nerves and most of the time I just wish I had never met him. I do admit he's a great racer and not being able to beat him pisses me off. I am, however, not a cruel person so I will admit that his depression concerns me. Most of this concern stems from how Mammon would feel if something happened to the kid though."
"You really love Mammon, huh?" Spanner said with a slight smile.
"Of course, I live for that guy," Bel said proudly.
Spanner chuckled and shut the hood of the Murcielago, "Good, hold strong to that love, okay?"
Bel smiled and nodded.
