Fran hated when people forced him into waking consciousness - especially after a sleepless night. To be fair, last night wasn't sleepless because of his insomnia; it was because Bel had insisted on staying up all night for sex, to which Fran couldn't disagree with.

Now, the boy was really feeling the after-effects.

"Get up, Froggy!" Bel pouted as he pulled the blankets from his lover's body. "Get up! I have to take you somewhere!"

Fran moaned in protest, groping blindly for the blankets to pull back over his body. "Senpai, five more minutes..."

"You said that two hours ago!" Bel poked at the smaller male, making sure his bangs had parted in order to pull off the puppy-dog eyes. "It's three in the afternoon!"

Fran sighed. Bel knew it wasn't his fault the younger slept so late - Fran's insomnia was to blame for his ridiculous sleeping patterns - but the blond still didn't like it; he wanted to spent time with his lover.

"Where are we going...?" Fran cracked open an eye, glancing up at Bel. He noticed the man had doned his usual striped shirt and black jacket, but his hair was a tad neater today - today must be important to the older male.

"It's a surprise. Get up and you'll see." Bel tugged at Fran's hand, trying to pull the smaller male off the bed.

Fran sighed. He rubbed his eyes as he stood up, moving towards the wardrobe where his clothes were now kept, knowing he couldn't go into town naked like he was right now.

The blond sat on the bed, watching as Fran dressed himself. He was excited for today, knowing it was the day they had decided to do a joint-celebration of Bel and Fran's birthdays - with them less than a month apart, Rasiel had suggested it be easier celebrating in between their respective birthdays.

"Did Froggy get the prince something nice for his birthday?" Bel grinned as he thought about what the younger could possibly have gotten him.

"That depends - am I getting something nice or was the sex last night my present?" Fran pulled on a baggy black sweater before he returned to Bel's side, embracing the older man.

Bel returned the hug, holding Fran affectionately. "Well, sort of. I was just horny, and I wanted birthday sex."

"Stupid, your birthday hasn't even been yet." Fran tapped his small fist against Bel's chest, resting his head against the strong shoulder. "Mine was last week, and I didn't get actual birthday sex."

"And you're still tiny for an eighteen-year-old." Bel licked the lobe of Fran's ear, tightening his hold on the younger. "Brush your teeth and let's go, Froggy. Rasiel is waiting."

"What's Rasiel got to do with my present?"

"He's coming with us." Bel winked at the boy.

"Oh, god - you're not planning a foursome, are you?" Fran put on a face of mock horror.

"Ushishishi~ Nope, but if Froggy wants a foursome, I can arrange one."

"Stupid-senpai." The teal-haired male kissed Bel's cheek, his eyes full of love for his boyfriend. "I only want you."

"Good, because that's how the prince feels about his frog."

~~XX~~

Fran had been curious about what Bel had planned, so when he got into the car with Bel and Rasiel, he wondered where they were going that was so important, Mukuro wasn't coming with them. Then again, the blue-haired man was baking for the celebration - but Rasiel had been helping, so why did he come with them?

"Senpai, are you and your brother going to gang-rape me and dump me in a ditch somewhere?" Fran called from the backseat, slipping his phone back into his pocket. "Is that why Master didn't come?"

"Ushishishi~ Just wait, Froggy; we're almost there."

Fran wasn't sure where they were going; he had never been down this end of town before - it wasn't the average shopping area with bookstores and eateries; it was full of factories and local businesses Fran and Mukuro had never needed to go to.

"You're selling me off into the trade, aren't you? I wouldn't make very good slave labour, senpai - they'd ship me straight back to your home."

"We're here." Bel pulled his car over to the curb and turned it off, leaving Fran to look out of the window.

Fran was confused as to why they had stopped out the front of a car dealership, and he questioned it. "Why are we here, senpai?"

"Because this is your birthday present," Bel and Rasiel chimed together in perfect sync, much like the twins they were.

The boy blinked. "You're buying me a business? I'd go bankrupt in the first ten minutes, senpai."

"Ushishishi~ No; you're going to get a car." The younger twin helped his lover out of the car, pointing towards the yard. "You can pick any number of them you want."

"Jeez... But senpai, I didn't... get you something like this..." Fran's mood dropped, feeling bad that he couldn't afford such expensive gifts like Bel could. He had only been able to buy his boyfriend some chocolates and a few other cheap items, even with Mukuro pitching in to help fund the cause.

Bel hugged the smaller male tightly. "I don't care - you are my boyfriend, and I will look after you. Anyway, you can't always drive our cars around - when you get your license, you're going to need your own car."

Fran nodded, knowing the man was right. He was still surprised that Bel would spend so much money on him, but he should have expected it - after cracking open the heart that had been sealed for so many years, Bel really was sweet-natured; he had just needed someone to stick by his side during the bad and show him that not everyone was cruel and not to be trusted.

"Senpai, I appreciate you saying I can have as many as I want, but I think I just need one for now." Fran kissed his lover's lips gently, smiling.

Bel nodded, holding the tiny hand in his as they walked through the car yard, looking at the vehicles. Rasiel had disappeared to talk to the dealer and, soon enough, they had an expert at hand to help make Fran's mind up.

"Senpai, I want this one." Fran pointed to the black Hyudai Equus they were standing next to, a genuine smile on his face.

Bel nodded, turning his attention to the dealer. They conversed for a minute before they walked towards the building behind the yard, ready to finalise the purchase.

Not long later, Rasiel had been given the keys to drive the car back to his home while Fran rode with Bel.

"Do you like your present, Froggy?" Bel grinned as his lover, feeling breathless as he took in the boy's appearance - he had never thought someone could be so beautiful.

"I love it, senpai. Thank you." The boy smiled back, feeling at peace. "I still feel bad I couldn't afford something like that for you, though."

"I would be happy with just you for my birthday, Froggy. I don't mind - as long as it comes from you, I will love it. I told you that my money is yours now, so you can buy whatever you want anyway."

"Senpai, I told you once before - I'm not like that. I'd rather work for my own money instead of mooching off you."

Bel's grin only widened. "And this is why I love you, Froggy; you make the prince all horny, but he still loves you with all his heart."

"I love you, too, senpai."

Bel's grin relaxed into a content smile. Though it had been hard at first, he had finally been able to open his heart up again - and he hadn't been so happy in a long time.
