Link's Love
Rating: T
Pairing: Emilia Galmar x Howard Link
Author's Note: Hello beautiful readers! Welcome to this crazy fic of an unusual pair for D. Gray-man, but I have always had the flair for unusual pairings. This is also my first time writing a fanfiction story for D. Gray-man. I was listening to Avec Toi (Kenza Farah) while writing this chapter. I hope you guys enjoy reading my new story!
Edited as of 5/6/18: There were a lot of mistakes in this story, so I decided to edit and fix the mistakes.
Edited as of 5/13/18: I found more errors! Goodness, I am super sorry. Hopefully this will be the last edit! I added Timcanpy because how could I forget everyone's favorite golem?
Also Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there.
Disclaimer: I don't own D. Gray-man. I wish I did but alas I don't.
Chapter One
"Timothy!"
Timothy raced past some scientists and finders who were milling around in the corridors as he sprinted away from the she-devil of a tutor the Black Order had hired. How was he supposed to know that the Black Order would hire his demon of a tutor fresh from the clutches of her paranoid father?
"Timothy!" shouted Emilia. Timothy yelped at seeing the 18-year old woman gaining on him so quickly. Damn, did she get faster or was Timothy getting slower? "You. Need. To. Study!"
"No way!" Timothy screeched over his shoulder. "Bleh!" he said sticking out his tongue at the furious woman.
Oops. Bad idea. He could see Emilia's demon eyes forming.
"You! Stupid! Brat!" screeched Emilia as she leaped forward executing her killer kick into the back of Timothy's head sending the kid flying forwards…
…right into Allen.
Again.
Emilia clapped a hand over her mouth as she leaned over the two unconscious forms, while Timcanpy fluttered over her head.
"Allen! I'm so, so sorry!" the blonde-haired woman cried despite the low chances that the exorcist would hear her. She knelt down and helped the white-haired teenager into a sitting position. Please, tell me Timothy didn't possess Allen this time, she inwardly panicked.
"…what happened here?"
Emilia's head nearly popped off her body as she jerked her head up to meet calm, composed red eyes. Emilia immediately relaxed. Inspector Howard Link to the rescue. Thank the Lord. Emilia could literally hear the 'Hallelujah' chorus in the background. But, then she remembered why he was here.
Allen. Oh no. She could imagine what would be written in the report.
Allen Walker. Status: unconscious. Reason: Emilia Galmar's killer kick sent Timothy flying into the poor, unsuspecting British boy.
Timothy Hearst. Status: unconscious. Reason: wouldn't study so was used as a soccer ball instead.
I am so screwed, Emilia thought miserably as she watched Timcanpy settle itself on Link's head. Any other time, the French woman would have cooed and 'aww'ed at the sight of Timcanpy settling on Link's head for a snooze, but she was too deep in her guilty misery to notice. Link raised an eyebrow at the tutor's reaction. He was surprised to see how relieved she was when she saw him. But now, she looked, downright mortified. Link opened his mouth to ask what happened once again, when Emilia looked up at him, panic in her eyes.
"Ah, Inspector Link! I kicked Timothy in the head and he slammed into Allen and they both passed out which was an accident and ohmygodwilltheybeokay?!" the young woman wailed.
Link looked over at his charge, who was still in Emilia's arms, and Timothy, whose body was lying halfway on Allen and Timothy's other half of his body was lying on the ground. Allen and Timothy were both sporting bruises on their foreheads. Link turned his attention to Emilia and opened his mouth to reassure her that kicking Timothy into Allen was a bit overboard, and yes, they both will live, but stopped as he watched fascinated when blue eyes filled with tears.
"I'm so sorry!" the young woman moaned. "The last time I did it, Kanda got angry because Timothy slammed into him when he was bringing back his soba to his room. I promised General Klaud I would stop and prevent Timothy from leaving his studies without kicking him, but this habit is so hard to let die. Lord, what am I going to do?"
Having no idea what to say to Emilia, Link opted for silence. He was an inspector for God's sake; he didn't comfort people. Dejectedly, Emilia mumbled. "This is all of my fault. You can report my actions against your charge to your supervisor if you have to Inspector. It is my fault that Allen is unconscious, after all."
For some reason, Link decided dejected Emilia was not the Emilia he favored. It won't hurt to omit this mistake. In fact, I will just say the boy was exhausted from all of the training and he had been training. Any witnesses, I will bribe with my desserts. Link glanced around at the scientists and finders who were slowly passing by and gawking.
Satisfied with his line of thinking, Link shook his head and knelt in front of the miserable girl. "That won't be necessary," Link intoned. Emilia's bowed head shot up. "I won't be reporting this incident. I think this is such a common occurrence it does not merit any worth mentioning to my supervisor."
Emilia was so relieved she could cry…which she started doing. The horrified and – I have no idea what to do – look on Link's face almost made Emilia laugh hysterically. She was relieved that she didn't have to explain to Link's boss – Leverrier creeped her out – that she kicked the white-haired boy unconscious.
Emilia wiped away her tears on her cheeks and waved a hand at Link. "I'm fine, Inspector. I promise." She gave Link a bright smile. "I'm just relieved. I would hate bothering your superior with this situation again although granted the second time I kicked Timothy, he flew into Kanda."
"Well," Link said pulling Allen away from Emilia into his arms. "Since, this has been resolved I will take Walker back to his room and take care of him."
Emilia nodded her head as she lifted Timothy into her arms. "Thank you and I'm sorry for the disruption."
Link shook his head and smiled wryly at the young woman. "It isn't a problem Miss Emilia. It is quite alright. I will actually be able to get paperwork done."
Emilia looked down at the blue-haired boy lying in her arms. "And I'm going to take this brat back to his room. I guess we can go without studying for today." Emilia sighed. "Although General Klaud will be upset when she hears that Timothy has not studied the history of exorcists like she wanted him to." Emilia frowned down at Timothy as if the boy would be able to see her. She glanced up at Link, who was still standing there with Allen hanging limply from his arms and who looked like he had no idea what to say to her comments, so she simply smiled. "Never mind me Inspector Link. Thank you."
Link inclined his head at her, tipping Timcanpy off his head in the process. Timcanpy took to fluttering around their heads. "Like I said, it was not a problem so don't worry yourself over it too much. Have a good day, Miss Emilia."
Emilia watched as Link carried his charge away, while Timcanpy had settled on Link's head again, from the gawking eyes of scientists and finders alike. It was quite the scene if she said so herself. Emilia glanced down at the drooling – ew drool – boy and walked off towards Timothy's room.
To her surprise, she saw Lavi and Kanda walking towards her in the corridor. Lavi's eyes brightened when he saw her.
"Yo, Emilia!" the redhead shouted. "What's wrong with Timothy?"
Emilia laughed sheepishly. "I kicked him in the head and he slammed into Allen's head."
Lavi's only visible eye widened. Then he burst out laughing. "Man, you must have some strong legs." Lavi grinned flirtatiously at the young woman whose cheeks flushed with embarrassment, while Kanda grimaced. He knew how strong her kicks were.
"Tch."
"You wanna say something Yuu?"
"Don't call me that dumbass!"
Emilia winced and slowly edged herself away from the fight that was going to start up thanks to Lavi's antics. Emilia left the squabbling-that-will-turn-into-violence-soon duo before she got caught up in the middle, although she could probably kick them both into the wall and knock them out ending the brewing problem. However, that might be a bit counterproductive and she should probably stop with the kicking technique Papa taught her. He did tell her it was meant for self-defense, not a reflexive move developed to put perverted little brats in their places.
But she did suppose that perhaps Timothy could be given a break, but that just means more time put into studying.
Link settled Allen onto his bed in their shared bedroom. He had just settled himself down at his desk to reorganize his papers and to think of the best way to phrase the day's events for his daily report without reporting Allen's lack of consciousness due to a vicious kick into the head from Emilia Galmar, when the door slammed open and admitted his worst headache: Lavi Bookman. To Link's surprise, Kanda followed the redhaired menace into his room.
"Why are you two in this room?" Link stiffly inquired. He really didn't like it when people barged in on him, especially when he was trying to work.
"Nothing much," sang Lavi as he peered over at Allen who was still unconscious on the bed. Lavi let out a low whistle. "Man, Emilia did a number on Allen. Damn, remind me not to get on her bad side."
Lavi then fixed the typically sour Japanese exorcist a playful smirk. "I wonder what you did to get on her bad side Yuu."
Kanda fixed one of the banes of his existence with a deadly glare. "I didn't do anything. She happened to kick the brat into me."
Lavi laughed. "I have always liked women with spirit and Emilia got a lot of it."
Link blanched at Inspector Galmar losing his head over the thought of his daughter being "stolen" away by someone like Lavi. Apparently, Kanda was having the same thoughts when the Japanese swordsman snorted. "You might as well kill yourself now."
Lavi looked confused when he saw Link's and Kanda's faces. Link looked over at the clueless teenager. "Her father is quite paranoid of Emilia running away with a man. You might want to watch where you step and who follows you around. Inspector Galmar might end up ending you."
Kanda grimaced. He remembered the way the irritating Inspector glared at him as if he had done something to Emilia. All he did was tell her to move out of his way.
"Anyways, what are you going to do about Allen, Link?" asked Lavi serious for once.
"I'm writing a report reporting that Walker is resting from strenuous training."
Lavi's eye widened. "Are you actually omitting Emilia kicking Allen in the head by way of Timothy? Damn, Howard, are you becoming nice?"
Link glared at the annoying redhaired teenager and snipped, "First, do not call me Howard. You are to refer to me as either Inspector Link or Link. Second, I'm not becoming nice; I am merely omitting a relatively daily occurrence from my report because of its unworthiness to my task." Link leveled the two exorcists with a glare that would make any person cry. "Now, would you two please leave so I can finish this report?!"
"Yes sir!" Lavi said saluting. "We will come back with ice and bandages for Allen. Come on Yuu!"
"I said, don't call me that!"
End Note: Thank you for reading and I hoped you enjoy the first chapter of the story. This story is going to be relatively short. It will probably be no longer than 10 chapters, but no less than five chapters.
