Lilah: Wolfy! Out of the damn corner! -_- Sheesh! Sometimes I wonder how you get through life like this… ~rubs forehead out of exasperation~ well like Wolfy said this is her second fanfic and please be gentle with your reviews…if there are any .…

Wolfy: ~leaps out of her corner with determination sparkling in her eyes…and an axe in her hand~ ….^^ What was that, Lilah? I didn't quite catch what you said.

Lilah: ~gulps, looking at Wolfy cautiously~ Nothing! Now Wolfy doesn't own any DGM (Disclaimer people!) so now onwards with the story^^! ~backs a step or two from Wolfy~ Oh yeah! This fanfic takes place after everyone defeated the first Level Four Akuma that burst into Black Order HQ from Lulubell's orders and such. Also, it's modern time…so just heads-up lol!

Chapter One – Normal POV

Allen yawned as he stretched his back and shoulders with a satisfying pop. He rubbed his eyes and sleepily went to take a shower.

A few minutes later, Allen stepped out of his room, fully clothed and slightly drowsy. Allen yawned again, "Man, the last few days has been too harsh on me, probably on the others too. Allen sighed, remembering how much destruction occurred when the Level Four had evolved.

Allen finally came to his destination, the cafeteria. He got his usual order from Jerry and sat at the farthest corner. He watched the Finders and other Exorcists in the cafeteria while picking his food absently, his head leaning in his palm. He sighed, pushing his food away bitterly, and slammed his head on the table, pulling his arms around his head in a despairing manner.

Allen didn't realize that someone had sat beside him and continued to grip his head. Suddenly, he felt a warm hand on his head and he froze. He lifted his head and looked at the person next to him.

"Lavi?" Allen looked at his red-haired friend in surprise, Lavi's hand still on his head. Lavi grinned, "You ok there, Allen? I saw you bang your head on the table and was wondering…actually worried, hehe."

Allen smiled warmly at Lavi, "I'm fine." Lavi didn't look convinced with the pointed look he gave Allen. "No, seriously! I'm perfectly fine - !"

"No you're not, Allen. Look," he pointed toward the mounds of food he hadn't eaten yet, "Allen, you usually scarf down everything like you went without food for months. What's really going on Allen?" Lavi looked genuinely concerned and worried, but Allen didn't really want to talk right now.

Allen looked up at Lavi, "I'm fine…Don't worry Lavi!" He strained a smile but Lavi still didn't look convinced. Leaving all their food, Lavi grasped Allen's hand and dragged him to the halls.

"Lavi! What are you doing? Where are you taking me? Lavi!" Allen exclaimed and tried not to trip as Lavi dragged him to his room. Lavi pushed Allen on his bed after locking his door and stood over Allen with his hands on his hips. "Lavi…" Allen had a semi-death glare headed straight at Lavi, "unlock the door and let me out."

"Nope! Well, not until you tell me what's wrong…AND don't tell me that nothing's wrong or try to lie to me. You already know I'm good at reading people," Lavi crossed his arms with a determined expression.

Allen just stared at Lavi for a few minutes and sighed, flopping back onto Lavi's bed. "Hey! You do realize this is my room, and you're lying on my bed, right?" Lavi looked at him pointedly. Allen curled up on his side and looked up at Lavi with his eyes. Lavi widened his eyes a little and flinched slightly. Damn! He's really cute~! No! He's adorably gorgeous! Lavi gulped and looked away.

Allen didn't quite catch why Lavi was acting strangely and continued to stare at him, thinking how Lavi looked. Hmmm, no wonder a bunch of people, guys included, went after him. I wonder if he likes someone or at least has someone that has his interest. Well, of course not, he's a Bookman. It's impossible for him to have emotions…but…. Allen shook his head to clear his thoughts and sighed, laying his head on his arms and looking into space.

Lavi noticed Allen not paying attention and sat on the bed next to him. "Come on, Allen. Why won't you tell me what's wrong?...I want to help." Lavi looked at Allen pleadingly. Lavi suddenly lay behind Allen and pulled him to his chest. Allen tensed with shock and stared at the opposite wall.

"Lavi?" Allen didn't dare move. He didn't want to see how close the two actually were.

"Hm?" Allen could feel Lavi's breath on his neck and his hair tickling him. Lavi's grip tightened as Allen was dragged closer, so that now Lavi's chin was resting on his head. Allen blushed at the contact and tried to get out of Lavi's arms.

"Don't leave. Don't leave me, Al." It was only a whisper but…it was more than that. This voice. It sounded, as if, it was in despair and in pain. It sounded just like Allen's voice back at the Asian Branch when he gave up hope in getting his innocence back and getting back with his beloved friends. This lack of hope and joy, in the voice that he was so used to, filled him with sadness in thinking that Lavi was also having problems, as well.

Allen suddenly turned around and wrapped his arms around Lavi's head and shoulders, pressing his forehead towards Allen's chest. Lavi was shocked by the abrupt show of affection and held his breath. When Allen tightened his hold on Lavi, Lavi finally let his breath out and wrapped his arms around Allen's waist, pulling the both of them closer together.
