Early the next morning, Fran felt himself being cuffed to someone and loud noises of protest coming from a voice that tingled nicely in his ears.

"Fran, get up," he heard Spanner order but Fran just groaned and turned around which ended up with him pulling the other person as well.

"Dammit, brat, stop pulling me," the pleasant voice growled and Fran snapped his eyes open to see that he was chained to Bel.

"Spanner, you are no longer my best friend," Fran said groggily as he tugged at the chain that connected Bel and himself.

"Whatever you say, darling, now get out of bed, you have some errands to run with Bel here," Spanner said as he tugged Fran out of the bed.

"Errands? With this guy?" Bel groaned as he pointed at Fran who was rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Gimmie the list, the sooner we get this over with the sooner we can be uncuffed and I can go back to sleep," Fran held out his hand and Spanner handed him a list.

Fran looked at the first two items on the list, balled the paper up, and threw it at Spanner's face.

"Condoms?" Fran practically growled, "Lubricant?"

"Hayato is coming over," Spanner shrugged and passed the note to Bel who wrinkled his nose at it.

"So your boyfriend can stay but my uncle can't," Fran grumbled as he crossed his arms. He had protested a bit in his sugar high state when Verde had to leave but he didn't regret it. Verde was a person Fran felt happy around so he, of course, wanted him to stay.

"Verde had to leave for work, Hayato has time off so he's going to be spending some time with us," Spanner said with a smirk.

"Great, now Shoichi and I will be the only ones not sucking face," Fran groaned.

"M.M and Chrome…" Spanner began and was cut off by Fran.

"There's something going on between those two, I just know it," Fran sighed and shook his head.

"Wow, well now that I know this and if we think about it, Shoichi has a boyfriend so you're the only single one here," Spanner said teasingly.

"Ushishishi, the frog is lonely," Bel chuckled.

Fran simply glared at Spanner before tugging Bel out of the room and down the stairs where he pulled his converse on, grabbed the keys to a random car, and walked outside and towards the garage.

"Frog, stop," Bel said as he planted his feet in the ground, causing the still moving Fran to plop down into the snow.

"What?" Fran groaned as he pulled himself up.

"Are you really going out like that?" Bel said as he gestured to Fran's Kermit pajama pants and Bugs Bunny hoodie.

"Problem?" Fran asked as he crossed his arms. "This is Fran style."

Bel rolled his eyes before gasping when the eldest blonde grabbed onto the chain that connected Fran and himself and tugged the two of them towards the Accord. Spanner uncuffed Fran first and pushed him into the car before uncuffing Bel and leading him to the other side.

"I won't make you go through the supermarket in cuffs but don't fight, okay?" Spanner said before shutting Bel's door and walking back into the house.

"Why do you get to drive?" Bel frowned as he watched Fran start the engine and back out of the garage and down the driveway.

"Because it's my car," Fran said simply before pressing on the gas pedal and heading towards the supermarket.

~0~0~0~0~

"I want these," Bel said as he held up a box of Toy Story fruit snacks.

Fran almost said no but then remembered that they would be using Spanner's money and nodded, "Grab whatever you want, Spanner is paying anyway."

Bel grinned and tossed a few boxes of the fruit snacks into the cart before following Fran to the frozen food section.

"Are you really okay with being the only single person?" Bel asked while Fran looked over the ice cream options.

"It doesn't bother me, I just haven't found someone that completes me the same way everyone else has," Fran answered as he opened the fridge and pulled out two tubs of ice cream.

Bel bit his lip before asking, "How do you feel about Spanner?"

Fran sighed and licked his lips, "Look, I loved Spanner in a romantic way once but then I felt like those feelings became more of a friendly love. I know Spanner loves me in that way, he's so damn obvious."

"And you don't care that he's sleeping with someone else when he feels that way about you?" Bel asked as he put a jar of cherries into the cart.

"I do care, I wish he'd just feel that way about Hayato," Fran replied, "I want him to forget those feelings he has for me, I want him to turn that love he has for me into the same love I have for him."

"I've never heard you say the word 'love' so much in one sentence," Bel chuckled and placed sprinkles into the cart as well.

Fran rolled his eyes and he pushed the cart into another aisle. He grabbed two tubes from a shelf and held them up to Bel.

"Strawberry or mint?"

~0~0~0~0~

This all felt too familiar to Fran. Almost like…

"Déjà vu," Fran said and took a deep breath, "going to get groceries for Spanner only to get challenged to a race by someone in an awesome car while I only have an Accord." Fran looked over to Bel and shook his head, "Only thing is that you're here this time so it's a nightmare."

"Shut up," Bel said as he reached over and flicked the headlights, letting the other person or people in the car beside them know that they accepted their challenge.

The Mazda 6's headlights flashed once, and Bel flicked the Accord's headlights. Both cars flicked their headlights at the same time and Fran quickly changed gears before pushing down on the gas and speeding off at the same time the Mazda did.

"I hope this doesn't lead me to meeting another pineapple head," Fran said as he turned around the corner roughly.

"Focus," Bel growled. The frog was too tense and that was causing his turns to be rough and his speed to become shaky. Bel needed the teen to calm down before they crashed or lost the race. Either one would hurt.

Fran looked down at the monitor that Spanner had installed into the Accord sometime during their time at Mukuro's summer house. The Mazda has sent them directions and Fran was having a little bit of trouble following them, he had opted to take shortcuts instead.

"Follow the directions, brat," Bel snapped before realizing that this wouldn't help Fran relax. So he just sat back and sighed.

Fran nodded and began to follow the directions, watching as the line on the monitor returned to its original form.

"This is bull, how does anyone expect me to win in an Accord?" Fran questioned no one in particular as he turned and rammed against the Mazda.

"You've won while using an Accord before," Bel said as he watched the Mazda close in on them. "Move out of the way, Froggy."

Fran raised an eyebrow as he sped up, passing the Mazda by a few feet and avoiding being crushed against the Mazda and a rock wall.

"Did you just call me Froggy?" Fran asked through gritted teeth as he made a sharp turn.

"Problem?" Bel asked, a small smirk on his face as he checked the monitor to see that the Mazda was about 10 feet away from them.

Fran shook his head as he neared the finish point. He pushed on the breaks as he passed the point and waited for the Mazda. He expected the other to stop and leave his/her car but they just kept going and Fran noticed the connection between the cars disconnect.

"Che, coward," Bel grumbled as he crossed his arms and leaned back in his seat.

Fran nodded and switched gears before he began to drive back to the house.

~0~0~0~0~

The first thing Fran did when he got back to the summer house was march into the house and throw the keys at Spanner.

"I am never going grocery shopping for you again!" Fran growled as he ran upstairs.

Spanner gave Bel a questioning look to which the other blonde simply shrugged at before going to put the groceries in the kitchen. Spanner worriedly ran up the stairs after Fran.

"Is this about the condoms?"
