Fran groaned into Bel's pillow as the sun began to burst through the window. He had spent the entire night tossing and turning along with attempting to get the images from last night out of his head.

Fran sighed and pulled the pillow in his arms closer to his chest. He took a deep breath; taking in the scent of what he could only guess belonged to Bel. The scent wasn't unpleasant like he thought it would be. Instead, it made his nose tingle pleasantly and it made him feel warm.

Checking the alarm clock on the bedside table, Fran saw that it was 6:30 am and decided to get up. Putting the pillow down, Fran got out of bed and stretched his muscles. He fixed the bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face and clean his mouth. Once he was done, Fran stepped out of the room and into the living room. He saw Bel sleeping on the couch, one leg on the arm rest and the other hanging off the edge of the leather couch. The blonde's laptop was open on the coffee table, a college website on the screen that showed his assignments. Papers were spread all over the table along with a glass of orange juice.

Fran bit his lip and began to tip toe his way to the kitchen, hoping that he could be quiet enough so as to not wake up Bel. He only made it halfway to the kitchen when the blonde on the couch began to stir sit up. Fran tried his very best to not laugh at the serious bed hair Bel had at the moment.

"You're up," Bel croaked, looking over at his laptop before turning back to Fran with a frown, "at 6 in the morning. Did you sleep?"

Fran prepared himself to lie but knew that the bags under his eyes would give it away. So he shook his head.

Bel sighed and using his finger, beckoned the younger male to come closer. Fran walked towards him obediently, raising an eyebrow when Bel adjusted himself so he was sitting on the couch with his legs tucked under his body.

"Why didn't you sleep?" Bel asked, looking up at him, arms resting on the back of the couch.

Fran sighed and sat down on the floor, his back against the back of the couch, "I don't know. I normally have trouble sleeping but…I do eventually fall asleep. I couldn't sleep at all last night though."

"Were you uncomfortable with something?" Bel asked, a frown popping onto his face.

"Everything was fine…I think it has something to do with the accident," Fran said, not entirely lying. He felt bad for lying to Bel about why he couldn't sleep but the accident did scare him a bit. Not enough to stop him from not getting any sleep though.

Bel's facial expressions suddenly turned into a look of fury. His hands balled up tightly and he lowered his head.

"I'll make them pay….I promise," Bel muttered lowly.

Fran sighed as he stood; placing his hands on Bel's head and fixing the blonde's hair so it looked less messy than it usually did.

"You don't need to promise me anything," Fran said, pulling at the blonde hair to get Bel to look at him, "you only need to give me breakfast."

Bel's look of fury quickly turned into a grin as he jumped over the back of the couch and headed towards the bathroom to get ready.

~0~0~0~0~

"How was your night?" Fran asked as he walked into the garage at the tracks.

"It was good, Hayato enjoyed a healthy dose of Spanner lovin' and we ate ice cream, how was yours?" Spanner asked.

"Um…sleepless, like it usually is," Fran sighed and leaned against Spanner.

"I fixed Murci," Spanner said, changing the subject. "It was a bit of a bitch fixing the cave-in on the passenger side but Shoichi and I fixed it and Giannini helped out too."

"Can I see?" Fran asked, looking up at Spanner.

The blonde nodded and pulled Fran over to where Murci was covered by a sheet. Spanner pulled the sheet off, revealing the Murcielago.

"It looks brand new," Fran said as he inspected the car.

"Yep, Shoichi, Giannini and I made sure not a scratch was left on this precious piece of sports car," Spanner said proudly.

Fran made an amused noise as he continued to look over the car.

"Here," Spanner said, slipping the keys into Fran's hand.

And Fran began to shake. His eyes went wide as his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. The keys in his hands rattled as he shook and Fran closed his eyes, fast moving images passed through his mind. Spinning, crashing, and then, nothing.

Fran felt himself being pulled into Spanner's arms, the blonde removing the keys from his hands. This greatly calmed the teen as he continued to shake. He buried his face in the elder's chest as he took deep breaths. Fran whimpered as he continued to tremble.

"Spanner, what do I do?"

~0~0~0~0~

"Why are you here all by yourself?" Bel asked as he sat down beside the teen on the grass.

"It's my thinking spot. For me to think by myself, not with others," came a grumbled reply from Fran whose face was buried in between his knees.

"What's wrong?" Bel asked, his eyes trained on the teen beside him.

"I'm…I…I panicked when Spanner gave me the keys to Murci…" Fran muttered, his voice sounding a bit choked.

Bel sighed as he wrapped an arm around the teen's shoulder. His fingers player with the ends of the green hair as he thought about what to say.

"I feel horrible," Fran croaked, raising his head to look up at Bel.

"You'll be alright," Bel said, a smile on his face.

Suddenly, Fran felt his still healing nose being pinched, his eyes shut tightly at the pain. Then, there were a pair of lips on his. It was only a quick peck, something that was over in 2 seconds but it made Fran feel as if every single part of him was on fire.

"I'll see you around, Froggy," Bel said as he walked out of the park and into his car, driving away as Fran stared.

Fran sighed as he wrapped an arm around his knees and the other hand rubbed his nose.

"Ow…"
