The next few days after Fran woke up; his room was bustling with activity.

Haru and Takeshi visited everyday to bring their friends his notes and homework and just to talk with Fran about anything. Kyoko and Kirino visited whenever they could. Fran was more than content to hold little Kirino despite the fact that he was still recovering. Mammon visited every once in a while just to see how his nephew was doing and had shot down Bel's question of 'where did you go after the accident?' Verde visited on several occasions but only to check on his nephew since he had work to do at the station. The rest of the Varia-Kokuyo members stopped by a lot to see Fran and give him gifts that ranged from yogurt to video games. Aria, Uni and Gamma visited everyday as well to bring the teen something that wasn't hospital food. Uni always had a sad look in her eyes when she visited and would curl up to Fran on his bed. And, finally, according to Spanner, Luche was on her way from Italy.

Bel and Spanner were the only ones who stayed all day with the injured teen. Bel more than Spanner since Spanner occasionally went home to sleep while Bel spent all his nights at the hospital beside Fran.

Currently, only Fran and Bel were in the former's room. Everyone who had visited that day had gone home since visiting hours were over and Spanner had gone home to pick up some clothes for Bel, Fran and himself.

"So, any idea when Luche is gonna get here?" Bel asked as he fiddled with his thumbs.

"She left Italy this morning so she should be here soon," Fran said with a shrug, his own thumbs pressing on the buttons of the game system in his hands.

Bel sighed and leaned back on the bed, head resting on Fran's shoulder as he watched the video game screen carefully. A few seconds later, the blonde's phone vibrated and he pulled out. Seeing that he had a text message, he scrolled to it and clicked on the message.

From: Mammon

Are you busy?

Bel's eyes drifted from the message to the green haired teen whose eyes were trained on the game screen. He nibbled on his lip and replied to the message.

To: Mammon

Just a bit, why?

Bel shoved his phone back into his pocket and continued to watch Fran play. A minute later his phone vibrated again and Bel checked his message.

From: Mammon

I haven't seen you in a while. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out.

Bel bit his lip as he read the message over. He looked over to where Fran and then back to his phone.

"Go."

Bel looked over to Fran.

"Just go," Fran said, "I don't really need you here. So go."

Bel felt conflicted. He knew Fran was still in pain from the accident and that he would fall asleep in a bit since he was still on the IV. What if he needed help going somewhere or getting something? Bel shook his head and began to type out a reply to Mammon when Fran took his phone with a soft wince.

"You are not blowing off my uncle to watch over me," Fran said sternly, as if it were an order, "you've been in this hospital as long as I have and I'm dying to get out of here. But I can't, so you have to go out for me. Bring me back some ice cream, okay?"

Bel sighed and got out of the bed, taking his phone back he confirmed a date with Mammon and gave the boy in the bed a strict look even though he couldn't see it.

"If anything happens…if you need anything, call me," Bel said and left after receiving a nod.

Bel groaned and ran a hand through his hair as he got on the elevator. He pressed the button to go down and the doors closed. When they opened once more, a woman with green hair greeted him. He stepped out of the elevator and stared at the woman.

"You look familiar," Bel said, a frown on his face as he thought about who this woman could be.

The woman gave a warm smile, "My name is Luche. Perhaps you know my daughter and granddaughter?"

"Oh! Fran is waiting for you," Bel said, relieved that someone was here to watch over Fran.

"Ah, you're close to Fran then," Luche said, a soft smile on her lips.

"Uh…I guess you could say that," Bel said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.

Luche's smile grew wider at this, "Well, I'm glad that you are at least much closer to him than before, Belphegor, right?"

Bel nodded.

"It was nice meeting you, I must go see my little Franny now though," Luche said as she stuck her hand out for Bel to shake.

"Nice to meet you too," Bel said, shaking Luche's hand and stepping out of the woman's way so she could get into the elevator.

As Bel walked out of the hospital, he made a note to ask Fran just what he told Luche about him.

~0~0~0~0~

Fran didn't get his ice cream until the day after Bel and Mammon's date.

Bel had simply blushed and covered his face when Spanner had asked him why he had not come back that night. Fran didn't feel like eating his ice cream after that.

Luche became one of the people who spent the majority of their time at the hospital. She went home after visiting hours but was back five minutes before visiting hours reopened. She somehow convinced the nurses to let her through whenever she wanted though.

After 2 weeks at the hospital, Fran became very fussy. He grumbled about wanting to come home and kicked at his sheets in a frustrated manner. He whined and whimpered at not being able to leave the hospital and some points he looked ready to cry.

"How are you feeling today, Fran?" Dr. Stein asked, clipboard in hand as he looked over Fran's injuries.

"I wanna go home," Fran whined, a pout on his face.

Dr. Stein sighed as he put his clipboard down and continued to check over Fran, "Well, your injuries are healing nicely. You're not having trouble breathing and your head looks okay. I don't see any harm in you going home."

Spanner and Bel could only laugh as Dr. Stein was pulled into a tight hug by an overjoyed Fran
