BEST OF FRIENDS

From the film "The Fox and the Hound" (1981)

"Lucifer!"

"What?"

"For the love of God, get your infernal spawns in line!"

"I will, if you can stop blowing up your labs."

"Bloody hell? That's exactly your demonic little angels' fault!"

"...Demonic little angels? Really?"

"What? You gotta admit that your kids have cute angelic faces that can even fool the poor devil himself!"

"What have you been trying to do in the labs anyway?"

"Remanufacturing my special sunblock! I'm almost out of them!"

"I have some."

"...You do?"

"You gave me a boxful of them last time for emergency such as this, remember?"

"...Oh."

"Indeed."

"Damn."

"Yes, you're damn stupid."

"Hey!"

.

When you're the best of friends

Having so much fun together

You're not even aware, you're such a funny pair

You're the best of friends

.

"I don't know how Danchou could get along with Lucian so well."

"Why do you say that, Shal?"

"Well, you know how Lucian is, Fino. He's hardly ever serious about anything. Goofing off and getting into troubles all the time."

"Yeah. So?"

"The Danchou that I thought I knew wouldn't treat Lucian seriously. Lucian is the kind of people that Danchou doesn't keep in close contact with. He thinks they're too annoying and useless."

"But Lucian isn't useless."

"No he isn't. But he always meddles with Danchou's affair and Danchou usually doesn't like that."

"Maybe Kuroro secretly likes it when Lucian meddles with his affair. Show that he cares, you know?"

"Proooobably. I don't know. Danchou doesn't really care about that kind of thing. He's a very independent guy."

"To be fair, Kuroro always meddles with Kurapika's affair too."

"...Right. True. But I never thought Danchou would ever get a friend, to be honest."

"No?"

"Nope. But once he gets a friend, it has to be a really weird one."

.

Life's a happy game

You could clown around forever

.

"Where are they!"

"Who, Mom?"

"Your dear father and uncle! Where are they?!"

"Um...I don't know?"

"Goddammit…When I get my hands on them…"

"What did they do now?"

"Nothing you should concern yourself about."

"You just don't want to tell me!"

"Of course I don't! Lord knows that you'll get inspiration from it and apply it to someone else who's not as resilient as us!"

"Eh, you got me there, Mom."

"If I don't know any better, I'd say you got pranking lessons from your father and Lucian."

"..."

"What's with that face?"

"...Oops?"

"I KNEW IT!"

.

Neither one of you sees your natural boundaries

Life's one happy game

.

"Stop bleeding all over the place!"

"Why? It's not like you're squeamish of blood."

"I'm a vampire, moron!"

"Such endearment you grace me with. I'm flattered."

"I swear you're losing too much blood now."

"Would you be a dear and grab my emergency surgery kit in my bag?"

"You got an emergency surgery kit? What the hell?!"

"Unlike you, I don't heal instantly, you stupid vampire."

"I always thought you're a monster with all your crazy fighting shits going on..."

"Unfortunately, a human is a human."

"Damn. Lemme help stitch you up."

"Such a darling, Lucian. I'm pleased to know you love me that much."

"Okay that's it. You're taking one of my blood pills."

.

If only the world wouldn't get in the way

If only people would just let you play

They say you're both being fools

You're breaking all the rules

They can't understand, the magic of your wonderland

.

"They're chasing us again."

"Way to go, Mr. State-the-Obvious!"

"What did you do now?"

"What?"

"What did you do to reveal yourself as a vampire to them? Did you go on feeding frenzy again?"

"I NEVER go on feeding frenzy, jackass! I got sprayed by their thrice-damned Holy Water and that shit burns me like nobody's business."

"Holy Water is blessed water."

"God, really?! We are discussing language now? I am running for my dear undead life right about NOW and you're discussing politically correct words?"

"I thought I should lighten the mood."

"Lighten my mood? How about you lighten my burden by doing something about those fanatical clergymen who are trying to purify my ass into vampire glitters?! And why do I always have to run into these fanatics anyway?"

"That is called the Murphy's Law."

"The hell is that?"

"Basically it says that 'anything that can go wrong, WILL go wrong'."

"...No shit. That Murphy guy jinxed the whole world when he made that stupid law."

.

When you're the best of friends

Sharing all that you discover

When that moment has past, will that friendship last?

Who can say? There's a way.

.

"Back from gallivanting around the world? Where did you go now?"

"Oh, just here and there. Here's your souvenir."

"...A slab of metal? Really? That's how much you appreciate me?"

"My appreciation for you is reflected in how much you'll appreciate this slab of metal."

"What's so good about this anyway?"

"It's an organic metal, moron."

"...No waaay."

"Yes. That means you can now make your dream lab that it can regrow itself even after you or one of the children blow it up for God-knows-how-many-time."

"Sweet! Where did you find it?"

"I'll pass you the map and the instruction on how to procure it later."

"Aw, you're the best! Now since you're here and all, lemme show you something you'll like."

"No more dinosaur babies, I hope?"

"No, silly. It's this!"

"...An eyedrop?"

"Don't give me that look! This eyedrop will reduce the risk of your kids going all Scarlet Eyes by accident in the public. Reduce to NONE! Only works for a day, though."

"I will say what you just said to me. You're the best."

.

Oh I hope... I hope it never ends

'Cause you're the best of friends

.

"Hey, Lucifer."

"Hm?"

"Best friend forever?"

"...Did you drink your blood pills with alcohol again?"

"I didn't, asshole!"

"I just have to check, you know."

"Jackass…"

"Life would be too boring without you around."

"No shit."

"Indeed. And I really like my life as it is right now, so I'd like to keep my life from being too boring for the duration of my forever."

"...Poetic bastard."

Author's Note: I don't know why, but I'm compelled to write an interaction between Lucian and Kuroro. The conversations here happen on random times in the timeline. Some are before meeting Kurapika, some after.

And the 'vampire glitters' bit. That gotta make you think of Twilight.

And the sheer bromance…
