One year... One year ago Francoeur had killed his brother... The professor didn't have the serum anymore since it was too unstable. The professor learned the hard way... Francoeur had been distant from Lucille recently. He has been silent... It was starting to worry Lucille...

"Francoeur? Are you OK?" He didn't answer her as he strummed his guitar. Lucille sighed and gently took his gloved hands. "Francoeur..." he kept his head down as she did.

"yes Lucille...?" he asked almost silently.

"what's wrong?" he just shook his head.

"i'm fine..."

"no you not, you have not been acting the same since your brother died." he closed his eyes to took a breath. "it still bothers you... doesn't it?"

"no..."

"are you sure?" he nodded slowly. "alright...' he was quiet. she stood to leave but he stopped her.

"do you want to go somewhere tonight?" he asked her. He hasn't actually gone out somewhere with her yet. He lifted his head. He smiled a bit as she nodded. he pulled her into a hug with her on his lap, causing her to blush a bit with a smile. he smiled back. "sorry about how i have been acting."

"it's alright Francoeur, i know it has been hard for you." he looked down a bit, but she lifted his chin and kissed him. He kissed back gently and pulled away.

"what do you want to do tonight?"

"you don't have a plan, do you."

"well, the plan was to go where you wanted to go." he told her with a smile, causing her to chuckle a bit.

"than how about a picnic?"

"at night?"

"something wrong with that?"

"no, of course not, just curious." he smiled gently at her.Lucille smiled back and kissed his cheek, making him blush.

"i'm going to go get ready."

"ok." he said smiling as she got up. She left the room. Francoeur leaned back a bit as his smile faded. 'what am i going to do...?'
