Sorry, I just love these two soooo much! I had to continue!
I don't own dgm, but I own Clara.

Kanda sat up and glanced at his watch, which lay on the bedside table. Shit, he'd slept in.
He turned his head to look at the sleeping girl next to him. Unable to keep the small smile off his face, he carefully got off the bed, trying not to disturb her. He then silently proceeded to his wardrobe to fetch some clothes. Just as he was strapping Mugen to his back, the girl stirred.
'Mn, Kanda?' She yawned sleepily, sitting up, 'You're going?'
Kanda nodded, and came back over to sit next to her. He gave her a quick kiss.
'I'll be back once the mission's over,' He said quietly, brushing a reddish-brown lock from her face, 'So go back to sleep, Clara.'
'Don't wanna…' Clara shook her head, clinging to his arm, going doe-eyed. 'Promise you'll be careful?'
'Promise.'

'Good morning, Yu!'
'How's it goin', Ponytail?'
A vein throbbed in Kanda's forehead as he sat down in the canoe opposite Jamie and Lavi. Jamie signalled for the finder to push off, and they began sailing down the dark canal.
'So Kanda,' Jamie Wenham grinned, 'Clara slept in your bed last night.'
'How the hell did you know?!' Kanda glared.
'I didn't,' Jamie shrugged, ' I just wanted to see what you'd say.'
He and Lavi sniggered. Kanda turned his head, trying to ignore them. True, he had warmed up to people more lately, and even considered them friends now, but that didn't stop them annoying the hell out of him.
'Just be glad Beansprout isn't here,' He told himself.
'Speaking of Clara,' Lavi said thoughtfully, 'Yu, how are things going with her? Since that group of exorcists got stuck in Germany we've had to go on a lot more missions, it must be kind of straining your relationship, right?'
'Not really,' Kanda answered calmly, 'We just don't get to see each other as much until it's sorted out.'
'Aw,' Lavi cooed, 'True love is so cute...Have you guys made love yet?'
Kanda stared. Jamie looked up in interest. The finder leaned in to hear better. Lavi sweatdropped.
'Uhhhhh, was it something I said?'
'None of your business.' Kanda finally answered, blushing furiously.
This caused more sniggering from the other boys, probably meaning they had taken his answer as a yes. But the truth was, no, they hadn't made love. Yes, Clara slept in his bed sometimes, and he in hers, but that was only when he was going away, or had just returned. They just wanted to be together, and for now, that was all they needed. That might have sounded weird if he had said it out loud to the two teens in front of him, but to him, it made perfect sense. There was nothing wrong it.
Just then, they exited the canal tunnel, and had to shield their eyes from the blinding sunlight. There was a small bumping sound as they hit the small dock. The three exorcists got out of the canoe and headed for the train station.

'Clara, you're early!'
Clara nodded as she passed Reever and sat down at her desk to start on the giant stack of files she had to fill out. Reever scratched the back of his head in confusion. Most of the scientists would savour every last second of free time, not coming to work before they absolutely had too, but here Clara was, a whole ten minutes early.
'Must be a morning person like her brother...' The man shook his head as he went to find something in a filing cabinet.
'Morining, Clara!'
Clara looked up as Lenalee came over to her with a tray of coffee. Clara smiled and took her mug. As she took a quick sip, Lenalee smiled.
'Um, any news on when Allen is coming back?'
'Yes, actually,' Clara nodded as she opened a folder, 'They managed to destroy the Akuma and retrieve the innocence so he should be back soon...By the way, have you told Komui y-
'No.' Lenalee answered quickly, 'Don't speak of it out loud. He has spies everywhere.'
At this, Lenalee quickly glanced around, obviously looking for the spies. Clara sweatdropped and went back to her work.
'They better tell him soon,' Clara thought to herself, 'Or Komuo's wrath will be worse...'
She cast her eyes down the file she was looking at. It was an exorcist absence report, the ones you had to do when an exorcist went on a mission. She began filling in Kanda, Jamie and Lavi's names and sighed. She'd had that weird dream again, that was why she'd woken up so early, not because she'd heard Kanda.
In that dream, she was in a tunnel. At the other end of it was Kanda, with his back turned away from her. She'd call out to him and run towards him, but as soon as she reached out to touch him, he'd knock her hand away, and turn to glare angrily at her.
'Don't touch me, Noah!'
She couldn't make sense of it, and yet it disturbed her greatly. Kanda knew she was a Noah, he'd gone through hell to get her back from them, and she never had any intention of being evil, so why all of a sudden would she be worried about it?
But then, it hadn't even been a month since she had returned, so everyone was still a little shaken up. The people who didn't know her very well still gave her strange looks as they passed her in the halls, and once a finder had even accused her of being a traitor, but of course straight after Kanda and Allen had appeared to give him a good "talking-too", that Clara had had to save him from.
Still, it had hurt, so it was no wonder she was on edge.
'It'll all blow over soon,' Kanda had reassured her that night, ' I love you. You're not evil.'
Clara believed it. But still, she couldn't help but feel unsettled, that something bad was coming, but she couldn't say what.
After all, not everyone can have a fairy tale ending.
