Mammon wanted to punch him.
Bel wanted to slice his smile off.
Spanner wanted to break his neck.
Shoichi wanted to blow him up.
Ken and Chikusa wanted to bury him in their backyards. Alive.
M.M wanted to shove paint down his throat and Chrome wanted to shove an octopus down his throat.
Fran wanted to do all of the above.
"Aren't you guys excited?" Mukuro squealed as he looked at all of them with bright eyes.
"Actually I think we're all having similar thoughts of killing you right now," Shoichi said as he nodded his head.
Everyone present agreed, except for Xanxus who stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Mukuro's waist.
"You ungrateful brats are going whether you want to or not," Xanxus said with a tone of finality.
"A member training camp though?" M.M groaned, her shoulders slumping before she stood straight once again, remembering that ladies needed to have a proper posture.
"Yes!" Mukuro said delightedly. "It'll be fun! You'll all get closer and learn how to work together."
"So that's what this is about," Fran muttered, throwing a glance over to Bel who was probably thinking the same thing.
"Why aren't Squalo, Levi, and Lussuria coming?" Chikusa asked.
"They went a few years back," Xanxus said, "Squalo almost drowned Levi in the pool and Lussuria always had a gun pointed to his throat."
"It's important to do this since we joined together. The elders aren't going because they should know better and well because we told them they'd excluded if they made efforts to get closer to you younger ones," Mukuro explained with a small huff.
"Bel's a grandpa though," Fran pointed out.
"If I'm a grandpa then you're an infant," Bel said, crossing his arms over his chest.
Fran turned to Spanner, reaching his arms out to the elder, "Carry me."
Spanner chuckled and pulled the boy into his arms, holding him tightly.
"I don't get why us mechanics have to go though," Shoichi grumbled.
"You're going for different reasons," Mukuro said, a mischievous look in his eyes.
"You'll still have to go through the training though," Xanxus said, crushing any hopes the two mechanics had of getting away from the bonding.
"We leave tomorrow so pack enough clothes for about a week and be ready by six," Mukuro said as a way to dismiss everyone.
They all nodded before heading towards the parking lot. Complaints were heard all around as they all got into their own cars and drove off.
Mammon pulled out his phone and sent a quick text. His phone vibrated seconds later and his heart clenched at the words on his screen.
I'll miss you. Come back soon, okay?
