Hey everyone! Sorry about the long wait! I had a lot of stuff going on. This chapter is using iiShawolKHR's idea of Fran as a babysitter! Thanks for reviewing! Thanks to everyone else who reviewed as well. I'll try to update more frequently. I don't own KHR (Bored of saying this it's sort of obvious anyway)
Fran's name had been picked from the hat. The job was next. He hoped it would be something easy. Squalo pulled out the name, read it silently, and then started laughing. "What is it?" asked Fran, expecting the worst.
"B-b-b-babysitter!" gasped Squalo, struggling to breathe from laughing so hard. Everyone else started laughing as well. This was not going to be fun.
Day 4 Fran
Job: babysitter
6:30 pm
"We'll be gone until about midnight. Feel free to help yourself to food from the fridge or pantry, the TV remote is on top of the mantelpiece and my number is on the fridge if there's an emergency." The man was about forty years old and he and his wife were going to a dinner party. Fran nodded, silently going over the orders in his head. A boy that looked about six ran out to hug his father goodbye. Then they left for their party.
"What's your name?" asked Fran.
"Eddie," said the little boy. "I'm six. Now I'm a big boy"
"Good for you" said Fran
"What's your name?" asked Eddie
"I am Fran,"
The boy looked him for a while, and then solemnly said "That's a girl's name. Also your hat is stupid."
Fran could have strangled him then and there but he managed to calm himself down. "Are there any more kids?" he asked.
"My sister" was the reply. Fran went upstairs to find her. He saw an adorable little girl. She must have been about eighteen months old. She was holding a fluffy toy rabbit. She pointed to it and said "Peter".
"What's your name?"
She pointed to herself this time and said "Stella" he smiled. Unlike Eddie, she was cute and not annoying (this may have been because she didn't know enough words to criticize his name and his hat but still, he preferred her).
He walked downstairs to the kitchen and saw that there was a note on the fridge: there is food for Stella in the fridge and if you could make some instant noodles for Eddie, that's their dinner sorted.
Okay so he would just reheat Stella's food first, and then take care of something for Eddie. He opened the fridge and found a plastic container that was labeled Stella so he took it out and microwaved it until it was warm, but not too hot. He took it to the table and called Stella. She came crawling to him and he lifted her up and put her in her high chair.
He got a spoonful of whatever it was and lifted it up to her mouth. She shook her head and clamped her mouth shut. He sighed. Why did life have to be so difficult? He had an idea. "Here comes the airplane!" he said moving the spoon closer to her mouth. She still refused to eat.
He was thinking of ways to make her eat when he saw Eddie trying to poke a piece of wire into the power point. "No!" he yelled, unable to keep the fear from his voice. If this kid died, he wouldn't get paid then Xanxus would not be happy. He dived towards the small boy and grabbed the piece of wire. He then turned his attention back to feeding Stella.
He had a good idea. He asked her what her favorite food was. "Ice cream!" she said with a smile on her face.
"I'll go throw away this yucky food and get you some ice cream then" he said, his voice showing no emotion. He felt like he could strangle her right now but it wasn't like she could tell. He wondered what their reactions would be if they discovered he was an assassin. Oblivious to his annoyance, she clapped in joy.
He went into the kitchen and used an illusion to make her think her food was ice cream. He then took it back to her and she ate it. Finally! Maybe this wasn't so bad after all. He went into the kitchen and saw Eddie throwing eggs at the fridge. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" he yelled.
The small boy shrugged "I was bored" Fran really hated this kid. He boiled the kettle and poured hot water on to the noodles and waited two minutes. He gave them to Eddie, cleaned up the mess and sat down on the couch to watch TV.
Five minutes later, the small boy was finished and sat next to him. He grabbed the remote and changed the channel to cartoons. "Hey I was watching that!" he said getting really annoyed now.
"Well now I'm watching this so go away" Fran glared at him. He went to put Stella to bed. When he returned, he told Eddie he had ten minutes to brush his teeth and go to bed. The boy complained and whined but Fran had put his foot down. He wasn't going to take crap from a six year old.
He tucked him in and was leaving the room when he heard the little boy's voice "Fran, will you read me a bedtime story?" he sounded so cute and innocent compared to before that he had to say yes.
"Okay listen carefully, I'm only going to tell this once. There was once a little boy who was really poor and had to sell the family cow. On the way, he met an old man who said he'd buy the cow for some magic beans. The boy knew it was a rip off so he said no and continued on his way to the market and sold the cow for some money. They lived happily ever after. The end." Fran said. He had told the whole story in his usual monotone.
"That sucked!" yelled Eddie.
"No it didn't! You suck" yelled back Fran.
"You didn't even tell it right!"
"YES I DID!"
"NO YOU DIDN'T! MY TEACHER TELLS IT RIGHT! HE SELLS THE COW TO THE OLD MAN AND GROWS THE MAGIC BEANS!"
Fran gave up. It was pointless. He had told it wrong because he was too lazy to tell the whole story so he shortened it a bit. But he didn't want to be beaten by a six year old.
He went back downstairs and watched TV then got up and went through their pantry. He found a pack of chips and ate them. When the people got home from their dinner party, he was asleep on the couch. They woke him up to pay him.
"So was Eddie's behavior okay?" the man asked
"Apart from trying to stick wire into the power points, throwing eggs at the fridge and insulting my hat it was okay I guess."
"Sorry about that. He can be quite a handful." Fran laughed. A handful was an understatement. He collected his money and left.
He got home at one in the morning. Lussuria was still awake. He had been waiting for him to come back. "So how was it Fran?"
"I never want to see another child as long as I live!"
Fran gave Lussuria the money and went to bed.
End of day 4
