Natarii: hey! New series, I wanted to do a Noah-Allen series so here's the first chapter
Allen: why didn't you just put it in your other series?
Natarii: too angsty. Turning Noah in my head is a messy business you know. It could be bad for my story line. Easier to start an new series.
Lenalee: what do you mean messy...?
Natarii: er...if I tell you you wont want to be in the story okay? So drop it.
Allen: What are you planning on writing? Lenalee she's scaring me...
Lenalee: me too... I don't wanna be in this any more...
Natarii: just do the damn disclaimer and stop whining!!
Allen & Lenalee: Natalie doesn't own D. Gray-Man. It all belongs to Hoshino Katsura-Sensei.
He was outside in the black orders version of a back garden, staring at the pond. Allen stared at his reflection. The black haze behind it just grinned at him. Allen didn't know what it was but he knew it definitely wasn't a good thing.
'What the hell are you'he thought, staring at his reflection on the water.
The haze didn't say anything. It just grinned like always.
"Allen what are you doing out here?" Lenalee asked the white-haired teen. Her voice jolted his thoughts away from the black haze. He was genuinely happy to see her. He liked her a lot, though He would never admit his affections for the girl. Rules forbade that after all.
"Eh? oh nothing.. I just needed some air."
"At 2AM?"
"I could ask the same of you he told her."
"I just couldn't sleep" she told him.
That wasn't exactly a lie. She had been agonizing over a decision she was faced with. She liked Allen. a lot. And she didn't know how to handle that. Relationships, even slightly going beyond friendship, were absoloutley forbidden by the pope. Exorcists had more important things than love to deal with. So should she tell him when she knew nothing could come of it?
"You should go back inside"
his voice jolted her back to reality "its pretty cold out here"
she shook her head and sat down beside him.
"I'm okay, I have my jacket."
She could tell something was wrong with him. He had a distant look in his eyes. The kind he had when something was causing him worry, the kind of worry he didn't want anyone to know about.
When she thought about it she realised he had been acting a bit off ever since the he had got back from the ark. And that was almost a year ago now.
"what's wrong with you Allen?" she asked "ever since you got off the Ark last year you've been acting a bit weird..."
She felt him tense up beside her. She had obviously said something he didn't like.
"Its nothing you can help with Lenalee". He said finality. "I just have to figure it out by myself. I'm fine." Allen hoped if he sounded like he didn't want to talk about it shed drop it. Lenalee was the last person he wanted worrying about him.
He felt his face turn then and he was suddenly face to face with her. Then she was hugging him. "stop trying to do everything by yourself Allen. She said, her voice slightly muffled by his clothes. It might not be something I can help with directly, but I can still help in one way or another... if you would just let me." she released him, stood up and began walking back to the castle.
She was pulled back down and suddenly realised Allen was kissing her. She almost let him but common sense took over.
"Allen! We cant, if someone finds out-"
"so we don't let them. Our secret."
"I love you Lenalee, and I'm not going to let a bunch of stupid rules get in our way, if youre up for that." he was looking directly at her.
"I love you too" she said blushing a bit.
"but still, if someone finds out then..."
She began to protest but he kissed her again. This time she didn't resist.
Later that night, as she lay next to him, she wondered if breaking the rules would come back to haunt them.
She was right to be suspicious. They were up for a time of hell, but god wasn't that cruel. They would be together ion the end, even if they had to be converted to another... set of beliefs.
Allen: isn't that a bit short?
Natarii: yeah, but its not the real chapter, just an prologue, and it was a bit rushed since I didn't plan it.
Lenalee: I'm still not sure about this...this shrimp is a bit...
Allen: me either... she has a few screws loose.
Natarii: whacks them on the head with menacing aura WHO THE HECK ARE YOU CALLING A SHRIMP??1 AND WHO HAS A SCREW LOOSE??
Allen & Lenalee : sorry!!
