“Joke…?” Ah, now that hurt. So he hadn’t really wanted to, hm? On one hand, it was funny- He realised that only Fran could do this to him, and the bad part? It was that Fran had the ability pull out each emotion and abuse it to his every will.

“Intimacy.” The blonde answered with a frown, moving back as hands cupping water and letting it go over Fran’s back; It was an idle action, one to distract him from the slight hurt feeling he was experiencing. Was this just a joke to Fran? He sighed, optics lidding over as he pushed the blonde fringe from his face, allowing his whole face to get a bit of air before pushing the blonde locks down once more, covering his now open eyes once more.

Fran sensed the wavering in Bel’s voice and quickly regretted how he might’ve worded his reply. Even though it was definitely not the answer he expected, the kouhai was still quite surprised that the prince would actually want to take a bath with him.

His eyes relaxed and opened slightly until they were only half lidded before he dared to move back a little to lean his head on the senpai’s chest. A small hand found one of Bel’s and intertwined, squeezing it reassuringly. Fran smiled a little. Even until now, the prince was still respecting the kouhai’s wishes.
