A/N: Hello and Welcome to Phases of Accidia, my little collection of one-shots revolving around everyone's favorite knife-chucking prince! There's no set order, and some occur in both the present and future. No pairings really, but if you squint, maaaaaybe.

This is officially my first post on FFN. I just had to post something because I adore the Varia to pieces, especially Bel! Please enjoy!

I. Cupcake Hair

"Voi! Where's the prince brat?" Squalo shouted down the unneccessarily long dining table, glaring at the small baby perched on a stack of phone books. Mammon glanced over at Belphegor's empty seat to the left of him briefly before returning to his money.

"Good grief, its not like I'm not his mother or anything. I don't know where he is." The little Arcobaleno said as he continued to count his wad of bills. Lussuria came bounding out of the kitchen with the last plate of pancakes. The frilly pink apron he insisted on wearing earned him a look of digust from everyone at the table, minus Xanxus, who ignored him in favor of his heap of bacon strips and waffles.

"Oh my~," the flamboyant man started, "What if he's under the weather? Someone should go check on him~!" Lussuria, ever the doting mother, let his shaded eyes meander over to the door that led out into the main hall, waiting for the blond prince to pop in through the tall oak doors any second.

"Who cares! The damn kid probably slept in or something, its not a big deal-"Levi's unimportant rant was immediately silenced as the last member of the squad came traipsing through one of the imposing doors. The ever present grin on his pale face was impossibly wide. Everyone just stared. Five sets of eyes followed the young prince as he plopped inelegantly into his seat next to Mammon and reached for the apple juice carafe. After several awkward seconds, the prince noticed everyone's incredulous stares.

"What?" Belphegor asked, suspiciously innocent, the edges of that grin curling upward even more.

"Bel-" Mammon started.

"Brat." Levi stared.

"…." Xanxus ignored.

" VOI! What the fuck did you do to your fuckin' hair?" Squalo stomped over to Belphegor. The normally blonde head tilted up to face the shark. The fourteen year old prince ran his pale, wiry fingers through his once golden, now ultrabright, shockingly pink, hair.

"Shishi~, doesn't the prince look pretty?" At that Xanxus glared at the young preteen.

"You look like a damn cupcake." Xanxus stated sourly, but the slasher prince was unfazed. In all honesty, he really did look like a frosting covered confection, his previously flaxen hair a mass of swirls of hot pink, with the odd pastel and white strands mixed in. Which was exactly what he wanted. Instead, he opted to admire his new hair in one of the large mirrors that hung in the dining hall.

Lussuria was beside himself. "OMG~! Where on Earth did you get you hair done? You simply must tell me! You look adorable!" Belphegor accepted the praise haughtily.

"Of course it looks good, I'm a prince!"

As the two conversed over Bel's new found hair salon in the fashion district over in southern Milan, Squalo hovered over the prince, fingering the pink tresses with something akin to horror. Belphegor shook his head free from the probing hands.

"Get your dirty peasant hands off of the prince's hair." Squalo's face went from slightly revolted to livid in .0003 seconds. The shark began to curse and rage about his unparalleled hygiene in the background as Belphegor and Lussuria continued their small talk.

"Yea, they did it just how the prince said to. Shishi~, looks good, huh?"

"You look ridiculous! Go take that shit out!" Squalo thundered at the adolescent royal.

"But Lussuria has a green Mohawk, why can't I have pink hair?" the prince pouted.

"Yea, well," he struggled to find a reason, "Lussuria is… Lussuria. So it's okay. Plus he's older. You're just a little runt." At that the prince looked incensed.

"You guys aren't that much older than me. Plus, you're a pauper. You can't tell a prince what to do! Ushishi~!" That trademark grin was snaking its way back onto his face. Squalo sputtered.

"VOIII! I don't wanna be seen in public with a kid who looks like a motherfuckin' vanilla cupcake!"

"Bet you'd like a taste of this cupcake…," Bel whispered in a suggestive tone, waggling his tongue at Squalo pervertedly.

Silence. Then…

"WHAAAAAT THE FUCK!"

"It was too easy…shishi~!" Belphegor burst into a fit of giggles at the white-haired swordsman's flushing cheeks.

"You walked right into that one, Squalo." Mammon indolently pointed out, earning him a frigid glare from the man in question.

"Besides, no one looks girlier than you! If you can have that long hair, I can have my hair whatever color I want!"

"But my hair doesn't look stupid like yours does." Squalo ground out in his peaking agitation.

The assassin prince scoffed.

"Don't be jealous because the prince's cupcake hair is prettier than Squ-chan's scraggly old lady hair." The table was immediately silent. Even Xanxus had to stop mid-bite. He had to see this.

If there was anything Squalo absolutely valued above all else on this Earth, it was the long white tresses that cascaded down to the small of his back. He took great pride in maintaining his hair, almost as much as he took pride in his skills as a swordsman. This was the ultimate blow.

"S-scraggly?" The shark was seeing red. He roared and proceeded to have tantrum, until Xanxus clocked him right in the face with his glass of orange juice. A low "fuckin' can it, trash," was heard in the midst of all the cursing and VOIIII-ing. The young princejust sat, grinning that shit-eating grin of his, and happily returned to his pancakes, all the while twirling the hot pink tresses around his index finger.

"Ushishishi. Pretty pretty prince.I am the cupcake prince!"

Christ on a cracker! Posting on this website is a pain in the ass! I had this story posted up yesterday, and I had to make some corrections, and for that I had to delete the whole story, and then re-post it! Aggravation! But anyway, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! I'll repost the next one in about a day or two, I guess.

Thanks for reading! Reviews are love 3
