Takashi, Haru, and Fran sat in the cafeteria at school, the three of them eating their lunches and talking at the same time.
Haru and Takashi did most of the talking while Fran just threw his opinion in every once in a while and continued to eat. His mind was occupied with other things such as whether or not he would go back to racing and avoid Bel as best as he can.
"Fran, are you listening?" Haru's voice cut into his thoughts.
Fran looked up from the table to look at Haru who was staring at him with concern in her brown eyes, Takashi mirroring her look.
Fran licked his lips and nodded, "Sorry, I was thinking about something."
"About what?" Takashi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I quit racing," Fran muttered and looked back down to the table.
Haru and Takashi both frowned, "Why?"
"I got tired of Bel," Fran said with a shrug as he drew a moustache on Bob the Builder's face. He needed to have a long talk with Spanner about these lunchboxes.
"That's not a big enough reason for you to quit," Takashi said, "just ignore the guy and continue doing what you love to do. Or do I have to go and deal with this guy the same way I dealt with the people bothering Haru about her costume making?"
"You're gonna pour milk in Bel's underwear?" Fran asked, looking up to give Takashi a small look.
"If that's what it takes," Takashi shrugged and took a bite of his cookie.
"But Fran," Haru whined, "aren't you messing with Bel too?"
"Haru, you're supposed to be on our side," Takashi said with a small pout.
"I am!" Haru bounced in her seat angrily. "It's just that Fran really can't complain about Bel messing with him if he's doing the same thing. That's just being childish."
Fran groaned and laid his head down on the table, face first. He shoved his hands into his hair and tugged as he began to mutter randomly.
"She's right. Dammit," Fran grumbled.
"Haru is always right!" Haru said proudly, a finger pointing up in the air.
"You weren't right about who would win Homecoming Queen this year," Takashi said.
"Or last year," Fran threw in.
"Or the year before that," both Fran and Takashi said simultaneously.
"Okay fine!" Haru shouted with a pout.
"So…" Fran muttered, "I should probably go ask Mukuro to take me back."
"Yep, bring flowers and chocolate too," Takashi said with a low chuckle, dodging the grape Fran threw at him.
