Number Three: Fake Princes

If you don't have a wannabe prince on your case every day, then you better be thankful. He set my ringtone as Axel F. Stupid idiot. Does everything frog-related remind him of me? I'm not a slimy amphibian. No; I am a slime-free mammal.

Since I gave him my phone number and accepted his invitation to hang out with him, I waited for him to call me. And when he did, that stupid ringtone came up.

"Hello?" I answered, finally deciding to pick up.

"Ushishishi, what took you so long to answer, Froggy?" asked Bel.

"I was just wondering whether I should ignore you or give myself Hell by picking up" I responded, going into my room and sitting on my bed.

"Ushishi, if I were in front you right now I would have stabbed you," said Bel.

"Yeah, Yeah, I know, so what do you want?" I asked, even though I knew what Bel was calling for.

"Where do you live, Froggy?" asked Bel, his tone was strangely serious.

"Aren't stalkers supposed to find out where their prey lives by themselves?" I asked.

Bel growled.

"Fine, fine," I said. I flopped back on my bed and gave my stupid senpai my address.

"Ushishishi, the Prince will be there for you at 10am, so you better be ready by that time" said Bel.

"Sure, sure, fake Prince-senpai."

"The Prince isn't a fake!" protested Bel.

After that, Bel had to leave because his mom was calling him. He wouldn't hang up although Mammon told him to. And to make it worse, Hayato teased me and said, and I quote: "Have fun on your first date!"

What the hell? It was not a date. The day of the hangout, my mom, being the overprotective mother she is, asked to meet Bel, knowing that I wasn't hanging out with Tsuna, Hayato, or Takeshi, since they were also busy. I couldn't object though; she was my mom after all.

"I'm Anna Adriani, Fran's mom" said Anna, sticking out her hand.

"Belphegor Reyes" said Bel, taking Anna's hand.

Instead of shaking it, Bel bought it up to his lips and gave it a small kiss before letting it go.

Alright, I really felt like punching him when he kissed my mom's hand. Apparently, they both seem to be on good terms with each other. My mom called him a gentleman. All because he brought her hand to his stupid lips and gave him respect. I'm fine with the respect part, but the kiss wasn't necessary.

"Ushishishi, now I know where you get your looks from, Mama Frog is very pretty" said Bel, looking down at me.

After that, we couldn't decide on a movie for twenty minutes. All the ones that Bel-senpai wanted to see were gory. In the end, I agreed to it, but instantly regretted my decision whenever I sat down for the movie.

Fuck, it was so gross.

I'll be honest, though. The day wasn't so bad. I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I even took him to a secret spot where I always go if I needed time alone.

Before the movie, we discussed some of our personal lives. I already told the story to Hayato, Tsuna, and Takeshi, but for some reason, I told him anyway when he asked about my dad. I want to know why I suddenly felt okay with telling him, though. In return, he told me about his family. I felt a little better after talking with him although it was briefly awkward afterwards.

When I called Tsuna, Hayato, and Takeshi about it.

"Did he give you a good night kiss?" mocked Hayato.

No, he did not. But I sure remember he had a kiss from Takeshi.

After this day, I still believe that Bel will be a fake prince, no matter what he does to cover up.

A/N: Somewhat shorter than the other entries, but I'll put up the fourth chapter when I finish with it.

The italics are scenes from Varia High, by the way.

Oh, and if anyone wants to know about Fran or Bel's family stories, they can be both found on the fifth chapter of "Varia High", but I'll put it here, too. Basically, Fran's mom was fifteen when she was pregnant, so his grandparents took care of her. She got a job afterwards, and Fran's grandparents watched him, but when Fran was old enough to take care of himself, his mom got an apartment and a good job. Bel's parents never pay attention to him, and his mom's main concern is telling Bel to find a nice wife.

If you haven't read Varia High, you should check it out although it's already finished. (:
