30 day Lucky Challenge
So, I haven't had the time to update the majority of my stories in a few months (which I am really sorry about, by the way, life just happens to be too busy) and because of that I need to get back into the pace of my stories and characters and the like, so, in honor of that I decided to try doing this 30 day challenge for my favorite yaoi pairing in D. Gray Man: Lucky! (Tyki X Lavi). I will (hopefully) update a small little drabble each day for the next thirty days, each one fitting the theme for that day. I've never done something like this, so I think it will be fun and a way for me to get back into the mind frame of the characters!
Now, without further a do, here is day one: Holding Hands! Hopefully it's not too awful.
Day 1: Holding hands
"It's getting late. I really should be getting back." Lavi murmured, giving the male standing beside him a half smile as he impishly ruffled the back of his hair, "I wouldn't want Allen to worry or anything, ya know?"
"You mean Cheater Boy A? Let him worry a bit." Tyki mused thoughtfully as he gazed out at the park beyond the bench that he and the red headed exorcist were currently inhabiting, taking a long draw of his cigarette as he paused, "I don't believe I'm inclined to allow you to leave quite yet."
Lavi chuckled slightly at the other's words before nodding his head in agreement, his one uncovered eye flickering from the Noah to the empty and darkening park,
"Hell, we would be in so much trouble if anyone saw us together like this…"
"Yes, I suppose we would."
The smile on the Bookman to be's face only widened at the confirmation he received from his secret partner.
It was true, if anyone they happened to know crossed their past in their current predicament they would have quite a bit of explaining to do as to why a Noah and an Exorcist were lounging oh so close to one another on a park bench. But then again, this wasn't the first time they had gone against their positional morals and met the other with discretion.
However, despite the fact that this was not their first secret meeting it certainly was not something of a habit quite yet. In fact, this was only the third time the two had met up that did not include fighting, yet their past two dates- or at the very least that's what Lavi supposed their hangouts could be called- they had done nothing more than engage in awkward conversation –they both dodged the topics pertaining to the war raging and their opposing sides for rather obvious reasons.
Lavi – despite being one of the biggest flirts in the Order- had never gone on an actual date before and, because of that, had no experience in the workings of a relationship or what exactly one would entail. Tyki, on the other hand, had more than his fair share of knowledge on the subject, but did not seem entitled to pushing things too far too fast. The red head was silently thankful for that.
"Getting lost in those thoughts of yours again, eyepatch?"
The aforementioned male blinked in surprise at the sudden voice and looked back over at the smirking Noah sitting beside him, who was obviously amused by the red head's tendency to lose track of reality.
"Heh, yeah, I guess so." He admitted with a small laugh, "Guess I'm just thinking 'bout how stupid we are for doing this. We're supposed to be enemies."
"Mm, not really." The Portuguese man mused, idly extinguishing his cigarette before tossing it aside, "Aren't Bookman not supposed to choose a side in a war?"
The smile that seemed to be permanently etched on the exorcist's face flickered slightly at the reminder, his one green eye darkening subtly,
"Yeah… But Bookmen also aren't allowed to be in relationships, but I guess I'm not exactly listening to that rule either…"
"What a naughty exorcist." Tyki chuckled, his dark eyes focusing solely on the male beside him, "Disobeying all the rules."
"Hey, you're not much better. I doubt Noah are allowed to be social with exorcists either."
"Yes, you're right as usual, Bookman, but I never have been one to play by the rules. That makes life far too… boring…"
Leaning over, the Pleasure grinned as he gingerly took the red head's hand before intertwining their fingers, his smile momentarily reminding the red head of a hungry wolf who had set his eyes on his unfortunate prey.
"I suppose than that that leaves the choice up to you, eyepatch."
"The choice?" Lavi repeated, a slight blush lightening his cheeks at the intimate action –he had never experienced any type of romantic gesture before- and stared at the Noah, baffled, "What choice?"
"The choice of whether or not we shall continue our little meetings." Tyki reiterated, raising the other's hand up to kiss it tenderly, "I enjoy playing dangerous games, but the question is do you, exorcist? Are you willing to play on the dark side for a change?"
Lavi stared listlessly at the Portuguese man, finding himself at a loss for words for the first time in quite a while,
"Yer willing ta risk getting in trouble with the Earl for me?"
He shrugged,
"What the Millennium Earl doesn't know won't hurt him. Just like with your exorcist friends and that old man of yours."
The red head considered that for a moment, his eye closing for a minute before he offered the other male's hand a gentle squeeze,
"I guess if ya are willing ta take the risk than I will too." He grinned, "I've kept forty nine secrets so far so what's another?"
