Bel growled as he kicked the back of Mukuro's seat, "Why do we have to go with you two?"
"Because you two are the babies of your respective teams and we're like the daddies so we're like a family," Mukuro said as he bounced excitedly in his seat.
"What about our cars?" Fran asked as he pulled his seat belt on.
"Spanner and Shoichi will be taking them," Xanxus said and pulled out of the lot and drove onto the streets.
"Spanner was still sleeping when I left," Fran huffed and looked out the window. The sky was just beginning to light up, the sun still not ready to grace their side of the world with light. Mukuro had somehow snuck into his house earlier and pulled him out of bed and forced him to get ready before pulling him downstairs. Fran guessed they had done the same to Bel.
"Well it is five thirty-two am," Mukuro said with a shrug. "Are you boy's hungry?"
Bel and Fran both let out small groans of 'yes' and Mukuro handed the two of them a pack of Poptarts each.
Fran scrunched his nose at the cherry Poptart packet and then looked over to Bel who seemed to be glaring at his blueberry Poptarts. Bel looked over to Fran and the two silently switched packs.
"I don't get why we can't take our own cars," Fran grumbled as he munched on his breakfast.
"Like I said, we want that family feeling," Mukuro said.
"Then you should bring your own families and hand me off to Verde or Mammon...actually Mammon comes along with this guy" Fran jabbed his thumb in Bel's direction, "so just give me to Verde or Spanner. Even Gamma will do."
Mukuro rolled his eyes and took both Fran's and Bel's trash, stuffing it in a plastic bag before handing them juices, "You're coming with us because we want you to, okay?"
"Actually I'd rather it just be us two," Xanxus said, "I was hoping for some car sex."
Fran choked on his juice, swallowing roughly before coughing while Bel gagged and scrunched his nose.
"Breathe, Little One," Mukuro said, reaching over and patting Fran's back.
Fran swatted Mukuro's hand away and leaned back in his seat, slumping down in it and looking out the window.
A few minutes into the ride, Mukuro and Xanxus turned on the radio and began to sing along to the old country songs. Fran groaned and pulled his earphones and iPod out, Bel doing the same.
Fran leaned his head against the window as he listened to the music coming from the earphones. He felt his eyes fluttering shut, the feeling of not having slept well enough for 3 days hitting him roughly. He shut his eyes and allowed himself to fall asleep.
Bel sat slumped in his seat, his arms crossed over his stomach as he nodded his head to the music from his iPod. He looked to his left and saw that Fran was sleeping against the door, his face pressed into the window. He rolled his eyes behind his bangs and reached over to Fran as he slid closer to the boy. He pulled Fran against his side, resting the boys head against his shoulder.
You'll hurt yourself if you sleep against the window like that...and if you get hurt Mammon will be upset, Bel thought to himself as he fiddled with the sleeve of Fran's hoodie.
The blonde slowly felt himself growing sleepy. He had spent the night with Mammon and hadn't gotten as much sleep as he normally did, having to wake up 2 hours after he fell asleep.
Bel plopped his head down on Fran's, letting his eyes close and drifting off to sleep.
