Just the once.

Yuu Kanda x Allen Walker.

Hey guys! Just writing a short description to let you know that I've decided to bind two of my favourite bishies in a knot of everlasting love. The road is rocky and dangerous, but will the two be willing to brave the danger and face their feelings? It's a complicated start to the relationship and neither one wants to submit to the other. Also, as much as I want them to be Allen, Yuu and all D-Gray Man characters etc do not belong to me...sucks -_-'

The rock.

"Are you crazy? You're sending me on another mission with the little pipsqueak? He nearly got us both killed last time!" Yuu shouted, Komui sat behind his desk smiling.

"I think it'll be good for you two. There's a certain...element...missing in your relationship. Now run along." He jested. Kanda's ears had steam escaping from them as he stormed off, passing Allen along the way and muttering some rather colourful words. Allen walked in to recieve his end of the mission.

"I take it I'm working with Kanda again?" Allen asked, almost knowingly. Komui laughed and sipped his drink.

"What makes you say that?" Komui grinned. Allen rolled his eyes and flicked his fringe.

"Just a guess. Judging by the 'pipsqueak' comment, I'll assume Kanda was talking about me." Allen said sarcastically. Komui explained the situation and Allen left to find Yuu.

On the way to Yuu's room, Allen became lost in his thoughts.

"Italy? That's kind of romantic in a way..." He thought. As soon as the word 'romantic' popped into his head, he shook it out.

"No no no no no!" Allen yelled. He looked up to see Yuu standing in front of him.

"What are you yelling about pipsqueak?" He said, standing in an intimidating way. Allen blushed, and acted defensive.

"I-it's nothing! I was just...we need to uh...the mission..." Allen trailed off. Yuu sighed and beckoned Allen to follow him. The silence was awkwardly thick, and Allen was lost in thought again.

Just lately, Allen's behaviour had changed and Komui seemed to like setting the two together for missions. Collecting innocence and stopping the Millenium Earl was important, but why Yuu? There had to be some reason Komui was doing this, and Allen was going to find out one way or another. But for now, a trip to Little Italy sounded like a good idea.

For that last year or so, Allen had been experiencing strange things. His emotions were more unstable than usual and his actions towards and around Yuu were almost mirrored in normality. Every time Allen saw or even thought about Yuu, his face got warmer, his heart would beat faster and his breathing increased. If ever Yuu noticed Allen's behaviour, he would run off and seek refuge in his room or wherever was far away from him. There were so many opportunities to tell Yuu how he felt, but the fear of rejection was too great. He'd experienced it once before, he didn't want that pain again. For now, Allen was happy to be so close to Yuu, but it appeared the feeling wasn't mutual.

The two boarded the plane and sat opposite one another, their finder busy at the front of the plane. There was always a silence surrounding these two, no matter what the situation. Allen stole a glance at Yuu, and blushed. He quickly looked back out of the window and watched the ground slowly move and disappear. All of this strange behaviour and blushing was starting to grab Yuu's attention, which was unusual since he usually didn't care what Allen did.

"What's going on squirt? You've been acting really funny around me lately. There something you're not telling me?" Yuu asked, getting right up in Allen's face. Needless to say this didn't help the blush.

"I uh...well you see...i-it's nothing." Allen grinned nervously, trying to ignore the glares from Yuu. The flight was long, and Yuu had fallen asleep. Allen's eyes travelled to the sleeping blue haired beauty, snoring softly opposite him.

Allen shifted up the seat until he was closer to Yuu. For once, his face was angerless and peaceful. He was so lovely when he slept, why did his attitude change when he was awake? Allen soon realised that his face was inches from Yuu's, their lips dangerously close. Allen's eyes were half lidded, and his mind wandered again.

"I have this uncontrollable urge to kiss him, but if I did...he'd probably kill me. What's going on with me?" Allen thought. Yuu's eyes flickered open and Allen panicked. He shot back, and ran for the bathroom. Yuu traced his movements to the back of the plane, where he vanished. A confused look was strewn across Yuu's face, what was with that kid?

In the bathroom, Allen was washing his face with cold water. He looked up, staring carefully at his face. The curse mark on his face stared back at him, and he placed a hand upon the mirror.

"What am I thinking?" He muttered, his breath fogging up the mirror. There was a knock at the door.

"Allen? It's...it's Yuu. Can I come in?" He asked. Allen hesitated for a moment.

"Uh...y-yeah sure." He replied, even though it was an odd request. Allen opened the door to allow Yuu to enter. It was a tight fight, but with Allen's small stature, it was just enough room.

Yuu leaned up against the sink, his arms folded across his chest.

"Seriously, what's with you? Every time I catch you looking at me you run off. Do you dislike me that much?" Yuu asked, looking at the floor. Allen didn't answer, he just sat on the toilet lid. Yuu kneeled in front of him, taking Allen's chin in his fingers. Allen blushed, and avoided Yuu's eye contact.

"I-it's not that I don't like you...I just...can't explain..." Allen trailed off. Yuu was determined to find out the deal with Allen, and he would do anything to get that answer.

Yuu leaned in closer to Allen, his blush deepening. There was an alarm sound, and as the two looked up they saw the seatbelt sign. They were landing soon. They rushed back to their seats, and fastened their belts. All the while, Yuu was looking at Allen, trying to read him as it were. When they were safely off the plane and preparing for their mission, Allen said something.

"Y-Kanda? Do you...like anyone?" Allen asked, stumbling Yuu.

"Well, it depends who that 'anyone' is." Yuu replied, his gaze fixed on Allen. Allen smiled sadly, and continued his work.

"Oh...Okay." He smiled, ready and waiting for Yuu. The two Exorcists and the finder headed to the location of the Innocence, only to find an Akuma had gotten there first.

Yuu and Allen rushed in, their weapons at the ready. Together, they yelled the words:

"Innocence, activate!"

The Akuma turned, the vessel of Innocence battered beneath them. Yuu and Allen fought frantically, the Akuma not winning quite yet. It drew out a massive attack, Yuu getting caught in the cross fire. His injuries were bad, and Allen was weakening as well. It all seemed to be over, until the vessel of Innocence cried out.

"Help...me...p-ple...ase..." They cried. Allen's rage increased, and he let out a shout the could be heard for miles. His arm illuminated the sky, morphing into the next level of anti-Akuma weapon. He attacked fiercely, destroying the Akuma with ease. Now was the real dilemma, help Yuu or run for the vessel. So he did what anyone would do, he carried Yuu over to the Innocence. They got what they came for, except Yuu got a little extra. His eyes were closed, but he was still alive.

Allen carried Yuu to a nearby place to be treated. The area was quiet, and Yuu's breathing was growing more faint. They were in quite a situation, Allen had overdone it with his weapon, and Yuu was in desperate need of help. Yuu slid down the wall, his body lying limp.

"Oh no, Kanda! Don't you die on me!" Allen yelled. Yuu's breathing halted, and Allen was left with only one option.

Flat on the ground, Yuu's head tilted back. Allen pressed on his chest, trying to get through to the heart. His fingers were pressed on his nose, constricting the air to one passage. Slowly, Allen moved in. Their lips became close, and Allen began to lose his nerves.

"Come on, he's going to die if you don't do this..." Allen thought, his face reddening. He pressed his lips tightly to Yuu's, forming a tight seal. He breathed air in, Yuu's chest rising and falling. On the last breath, Yuu's breathing returned to normal, now able to breath on his own. Allen's mouth was just leaving Yuu's, when a tongue slipped past his lips. Allen's eyes opened wide, not sure whether to be shocked or happy. Yuu's hand raised, gently holding the back of Allen's head and pressing it closer. Allen succumbed to the kiss, and was pulled on top of Yuu. They deepened their kiss, and Yuu's arms were wrapped securely around Allen's shoulders. Allen moved back, hazily peering into Yuu's eyes.

"Thank you Allen." Yuu smiled. This shocked Allen even more, the first sentence Yuu had said to him that didn't involve an insult, and actually had sincerity to it.

"K-Kanda? I need to uh...y-you're wounded..." Allen said, not making any sense. Yuu smiled and sat up.

"Relax, the wound wasn't that bad, it'll heal." He said. Allen was in awe, when did he 'like' him like that?

Allen shook his head, making sure this Kanda was the real one. Yuu turned, and smiled at him adding a wink in. That was Yuu Kanda alright, but something in him had changed. When they were ready, Tom their finder returned to them and they made their way back home, Innocence and all...just.

It was dinner at The Black Order, and Allen was sat by himself, picking at his normally scoffed food. Timcanpy was flying around his head, and resting every now and then.

"I don't get it Timcanpy, why Kanda?" Allen asked, turning to his golem. He said nothing, and flew off. Deepening his confusion, Allen returned to his meal. When he was done, he returned to his room. Any work from Komui would have to wait unless it was an Innocence trip. He lat on his bed, hands intertwined behind his head, his mind was it about Kanda that made him act so differently? The two had practically been enemies since they'd first met, despite being on the same team. And that kiss...what started as a life saving gesture, turned into something beautiful. A blush spread across Allen's face as he remembered that kiss, Yuu's lips were so soft...and warm.

Suddenly, he was snapped out of his trance as there was a knock at the door. Without waiting for an answer, Yuu invited himself in and locked the door.

"Not interrupting anything am I?" He asked, smirking. Allen was still in shock on the bed, his mind registering that yes, Yuu Kanda was in his room right now.

"N-no! I uh...w-what brings y-you here?" Allen stuttered, Yuu advancing towards him.

"I think you know perfectly well you little tease. You've been leaving me breadcrumbs, and I've been following them." Yuu said, his lips inches from Allen's.

"Help me..." Allen thought, wanting to lean in and meet their lips.

OOOH! Aren't I the little minx? Will Kanda-san go through with the implied plan? It seems the rock is crumbling, and both Allen-kun and Kanda-san are getting experimental which means...YAOI MOMENT! Tune in next chapter for the exciting conclusion!
