Spanner glared angrily at Mukuro as the elder pulled a very sleepy Fran into the garden where everyone else was currently lined up.
Fran jerked his arm away from Mukuro and stumbled to where Spanner was at, wrapping his arms around the blonde's waist and settling his head against his chest with a pleased sigh.
"Why are we out here?" Chrome asked groggily as she rubbed her eyes.
"I'll explain that right away," Mukuro said as he placed his hands behind his back. "We are here to begin our bonding exercises. We will be pairing you up today," Mukuro pulled Fran away from Spanner and towards someone else and Fran's eyes snapped open when he felt something snap around his wrist. He heard the sound of someone protesting before Mukuro smirked and stepped back, "You will be paired up just like this."
Fran gulped and turned his head to see who he was handcuffed to. He groaned and lowered his head when he saw it was Ken who was currently yelling profanities at Mukuro, threatening to bite his pineapple head off.
"Out of everyone here, why him?" groaned Fran.
"I think you and Ken could become great friends if you spend some time together," Mukuro said sweetly as he rubbed his hands together.
"The point of this was to make people who aren't close get along," Spanner said. "You know, like…a better idea would have been to handcuff Bel and Fran together."
"Never mind, I'm totally okay with Ken," Fran said quickly as he pulled Ken closer. "We don't get along at all and this will help us grow closer, right, Ken?"
Ken sighed and crossed his arms before nodding and cuddling closer to Fran's warmth, hoping that Mukuro would let them go soon.
"Excuse me but, Chrome and I are already close," M.M said as she waved the hand that was handcuffed to Chrome's in the air.
"Well we couldn't handcuff you two to a male so just deal with it," Mukuro said as he shrugged.
"Must I really be handcuffed to this guy?" Mammon groaned as he tugged at the chain that connected Shoichi and himself.
Mukuro nodded before he looked over to Bel and Chikusa, "Any complaints you two?"
"I don't really care as long as I don't have to be anywhere near that damn brat," Bel grumbled sleepily while Chikusa agreed that he didn't care with a nod.
Mukuro chuckled and shook his head before handing a key to Spanner, "This is to uncuff them if anything happens and this way they'll all hate you and not me, toodles!"
And then he was gone, running off with Xanxus to one of the cars and driving off.
"Do you think he'll be back?" Shoichi asked Spanner as he scratched at his metal covered wrist.
"I hope not," Spanner said and shoved the key into his pocket. "Alright, everyone inside."
