One night after the battles on the Ark were finished and the exorcists were healing in individual rooms in the hospital wing of the Black Order, Allen sat at the bedside of Kanda with his little finger hooked with the other exorcist. Watching Kanda's chest slowly, laboriously, rise and fall with every breath, he felt his eyes burn and his vision start to blur with tears. Allowing the tears to fall, Allen shifted his hand so that he had a better grip on Kanda's hand. In a voice choked and cracking with tears, he whispered, "Why did you let yourself get beaten that badly? Why did you have to nearly die? You nearly left me, how did you think that would make me feel? You bastard, I can't even be angry with you, I'm just so happy that your still alive. Why did you nearly leave me?"
Kanda shifted slightly and groaned, before answering hoarsely, "Stupid Moyashi. I didn't intend to leave you. Stop crying. You know I hate it."
Allen watched him for a moment, before tearfully saying, "Kanda, don't ever die on me, please. Promise me you won't leave me like that again. Please, Kanda, promise me you won't die. I, I can't see you die. Please."
Kanda slowly turned his head slightly to look at him. He sighed through his nose and briefly tightened his grip on Allen's hand. "I can't promise I won't die someday. But, I promise I won't leave you and I promise that I will do my very best not to die for as long as possible."

AN Just a little short one this time. And it's a bit angstier than usual but, meh, what can you do. Couldn't think of much to write for this one. Might be a bit out of character, but, whatever.
