Happy belated birthday Allen! :D
{Prologue}
"Kimi-chan!"
A brown-haired, turquoise-eyed fifteen year old turned at the call of her name, coming face-to-face with her older cousin.
"Oh, hey Lenalee. What is it?"
"Komui nii-san just told me who the designer you're going to be working with for the winter line is!" Lenalee exclaimed, taking Kimi's hands in her own and beaming. "It's my friend, Allen Walker!"
Kimi smiled. "Awesome."
The relatives were both famous models from China that moved to Japan at a very young age. Lenalee Lee and Kimiko Narika were names that people recognized instantly upon hearing.
"Lavi-kun is going to be the photographer for the entire line, too!" The emerald-haired girl rambled on. "But anyways, we have to go!"
"Go where?"
"The studio, Kimi, the studio!" Lenalee sighed. "Allen-kun needs to know what your design preferences are, remember?"
"Oh yeah…" Kimi laughed sheepishly. "Sorry, Lenalee. I kinda forgot."
The elder of the two shook her head and sighed again. "Its fine, but we have to hurry, okay?"
The brunette slipped off her flats and smirked. "Race you!" She shouted, and took off running before her cousin could even reply.
"H-Hey! Wait a minute, Kimi! I'm in heels!"
Kimi was laughing, slightly out of breath from the long run, as the studio came into sight. Lenalee was a couple feet behind her, jogging uncomfortably in her kitten heels.* It was no surprise that the fifteen year old reached the impressive building first.
"G-Geez… K-Kimi-chan…" Lenalee panted, hands on her knees. "D-Don't do… that…!"
"Eh," Kimi waved her hand about dismissively, slipping her black flats back on. "You just need to go for jogs more often."
"I am not out of shape!"
"Never said you were. Now c'mon, we don't want to be late!" As the pair entered the building, many of the employees stopped whatever they were doing to wave. The girls waved back cheerfully until they reached the elevator and went up to one of the higher floors.
When they reached their destination, Lenalee knocked on a large oak door before opening it, calling out, "Allen-kun! Lavi-kun! I found Kimi-chan!"
"...Why do I feel like you're referring to me as a lost puppy?" Kimi muttered, but her cousin ignored her as two boys entered.
One of them, Lavi, Kimi knew. The grinning red head with lively green eyes waved to her, and she waved back, before turning her attention to the other boy. He had shocking white hair and soft gray eyes. Decorating the pale skin on the left side of his face was a strange red scar, but Kimi didn't question it.
In fact, Kimi turned her attention away from the scar completely and looked the boy straight in the eyes. "Hi, you must by Allen Walker. I'm Kimiko Narika, but all my friends just call me Kimi." She held out her hand, which Allen took and shook politely.
"Hello, Kimi. As you guessed, I'm Allen. I hope we can work together well on this winter line." The white-haired teen smiled, a gesture in which Kimi returned. Then the new work partners launched into a discussion about the winter line, possible designs, preferences and things like that.

Yes, it's shitty and short, but this is only a prologue. Also, if you are a Lavi fan, I posted a LavixOC AU story yesterday titled 'Fire Away' if any of you are interested… ^.^'
