Winter-chan suddenly had this story line plot out during school and so here is the first chapter of the story!

Winter-chan hopes everybody would enjoy this!

Disclaimer: No, Winter-chan does not own D.Gray-Man. If she did, there would be lots of Yaoi already.

Yaoi. No like; no read.

Lavi have always found Kanda interesting. When Lavi had entered the Black Order, Kanda had already been there although for a short while only. Three months. He had spent the first few years of his life as an Exorcist with his Master, General Tiedoll travelling the world and fighting Akumas.

After spending some time with Kanda, he realised that Kanda was the type who hated people to be around him. He rather spends time alone. Even so, that did not stop Lavi from bothering the blue-headed Exorcist. Instead, he wanted to be Kanda's friend even more.

After years of bugging and annoying the hell out of Kanda, Lavi found that he can proudly call himself Kanda's friend. After all, Lavi and Lenalee were the only ones who were able to have a conversation with Kanda without getting sliced by Mugen.

Lavi subsequently found out about two years later that he was starting to have a crush on the touchy Japanese. Lavi had been a bit shocked at first but soon came to accept it. Well, affairs of the heart were always difficult to comprehend. Besides, he was not a homophobe or anything of that sort.

Now, at eighteen years old, he found that what he felt for Kanda was not just simply a crush. Oh no, it was something so much more. He was deeplyand completely in love with Kanda Yuu.

Actually, Allen could be considered Kanda's friend now too, except that Kanda would still gladly slice him. Lavi had been a bit jealous. He had spent years to be even called Kanda's acquaintance and suddenly Allen shows up and is already considered a friend, by others of course.

He found Allen a nice kid and had liked Allen instantly when he first met him. Well, it could be said that he, Allen, Lenalee and Kanda were best friends though Kanda would never admit it.



Lavi had his usual cheery smile set upon his face. He walked down the corridor, greeting the scientists and finders whom he recognised. In no time at all, he had reached the entrance to the cafeteria where he was certain his three best friends were. It was lunch time!

As expected, he saw them the first thing he went at their usual table. Allen was, as usual, eating his mountain of food while Kanda was eating soba. Lenalee was having chicken rice today and Lavi thought he might just follow suit.

"Hey guys!" Lavi greeted cheerfully as he took a seat beside Kanda who ignored him as usual.

"Hey Lavi," Allen replied after he swallowed his mouthful of food.

"Hello, Lavi!" Lenalee said happily as she finished up the last of her rice.

"Aww, Yuu-chan's not going to give me a greeting?" Lavi whined loudly as Lenalee hid a giggle behind her hand. Kanda twitched but did not reply. He had just come back from a mission and did not want to deal with Lavi.

"Come on, Yuu-chan! You could at least give me a kiss!" Lavi suggested, wagging his eyebrows a bit. Lenalee burst out laughing and Allen choked on his food while laughing, much to the annoyance of the Japanese teenager.

"Che," Kanda said and turned his head away. Lavi's smile fell.

"Ohh come on, Yuu-chan! Don't be angry! I'm only joking!" Lavi apologised, pouting.

'I won't even dignify that with an answer,' Kanda thought in irritation.

"Kanda, are you feeling better from the injuries of your last battle?" Lenalee asked, being as concern about her friends as ever.

"I'm fine," Kanda answered shortly. He got up and stalked away, ignoring Lavi and Lenalee calling for him to come back.

The weather was windy that day. The sun was nowhere in sight but neither was the dark, grey clouds. It did not seem like it was about to rain soon. To Kanda, it was the perfect type of weather.

'I think I would train for a bit today,' Kanda thought to himself as he changed directions to go out of the Black Order to train. He had been going to his room to meditate at first.



As he stepped out of the tall tower, his hair was tousled around by the wind but it still remained as neat as ever. He walked towards a large area of clearing with a couple of trees around it.

He pulled out a blindfold and covered his eyes. He needed to train his other senses and not have to depend on his eyes always. Who knew what could happen? He might just become blind one day. Call him paranoid but it was better to just learn anyway.

A few moments afterwards, Lavi walked silently into the clearing, hoping fervently that he was right and that Kanda was indeed training there. A smile instantly appeared on his face when he saw Kanda.

'I knew it! I knew Yuu-chan was definitely going to practising,' Lavi thought happily as he sat down in front of a tree and watched Kanda train in the cooling wind.

"What is it, baka Usagi?" Kanda asked without taking off his blindfold. Lavi smirked. It was so typical of Kanda to know whoever was there even without looking.

"Nothing at all, Yuu-chan. I just wanted to watch you train, that's all," Lavi replied simply, smile still perfectly in place. He swore Kanda rolled his eyes underneath the blindfold.

"Idiot, if you have nothing else better to do, go read a book in the library or something like that," Kanda retorted, not in the mood to quarrel with the Bookman Junior.

"Aww, is Yuu-chan chasing me away?" Lavi whined, pouting cutely as Kanda took off his blindfold and held it in one of his hands.

"Don't push it..." Kanda mumbled slightly audibly as he sat down beside Lavi. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes, enjoying the melody the strong wind brought about.

"Tired, Yuu-chan?" Lavi questioned as he himself closed his eyes and enjoy the breeze as well. It felt so comfortable.

"Shut up idiot or scram," Kanda answered straight away in annoyance and Lavi shut his mouth. He still knew when not to push his limits apparently.

They stayed in that position for quite a long time, neither of them speaking, just relaxing in the gusty wind. Lavi was enjoying the prospect 

of spending more time with Kanda without Kanda snapping or glaring at him every few minutes or so.

Soon, it started to rain heavily. Lavi opened his eyes immediately and got up before he realised that Kanda was still on the ground with his eyes closed. He frowned; Kanda was usually quick in reaction. Surely he knew that it was raining.

"Oi Yuu-chan, it's raining," Lavi told the samurai, expecting said person to open his eyes and glare at him while saying something along the lines of 'I know'.

His frown deepened when Kanda did not do that. He did not even answer Lavi. He crouched down next to the Japanese and shook his shoulders lightly, surprised when there was not even a single response. Now, he was getting really worried. Just as he was about to carry Kanda though, Kanda opened his eyes and glared at him.

Lavi heaved a sigh of relief. He really though something had happened to Kanda! "Yuu-chan, next time respond!"

"Che, I don't have to listen to you, baka Usagi," Kanda told Lavi in a 'as a matter of fact' tone.

Lavi ignored his comment and said instead, "Let's get back into the building."

"I will do it when I want to," Kanda retorted, annoyed. Lavi was about to answer him but Lenalee's voice cut him off.

"Kanda, Lavi! Go to nii-san's office now. He has a mission for both of you," Lenalee informed as she walked towards them, halting what would have been a long quarrel between the two Exorcists.

She held an umbrella in her right hand tried to shelter them both but Kanda moved away. She looked at Kanda in annoyance but he ignored her.

"Kanda, you're going to get a cold like this," Lenalee scolded lightly, concerned over her friend's health. He ignored her again, much to her displeasure.

"For both of us as in Yuu-chan has his own mission and I have my own or as in one together?" Lavi asked mischievously and Kanda shot him another glare. If looks could kill, Lavi would have been a dead rabbit by now... a very dead rabbit.



"Together," Lenalee affirmed with a slight nod of her head. She smiled at Lavi who was grinning like a mad dog.

Kanda rolled his eyes. By now, his clothes were all soaked through and his hair was all wet but he did not seem bother by it in the slightest bit. "Che."

He then walked into the Black Order, in the direction of Komui's office with Lavi and Lenalee tagging a few feet behind, still under the umbrella. The rain getting heavier and heavier by the minute but Kanda did not care at all.

Kanda slammed the doors to Komui's office open loudly. He shocked Reever and Johnny in the process, causing them to drop the stack of documents they were holding onto the floor which added to the sea of papers. Komui also woke up from his sleep.

By the time he realised what was going on, Kanda and Lavi had already seated themselves onto the couch in front of his desk, with Lenalee standing beside the couch, glaring at her older brother who smiled sheepishly at her.

Finally, Komui remembered why he asked for Lavi and Kanda and beamed widely. He picked up two booklets off his desk (surprisingly the correct ones) and handed them to the two Exorcists waiting on the couch each. He then picked up another similar booklet and flipped it open.

"Alright!" Komui shouted, getting into business mode. "This is what you need to know."

After flipping a few more pages, Komui cleared his throat before starting. "Lilies are mysteriously growing on the surface of a sea in a city which is quite big. There are about a thousand lilies growing. We suspect it to be the doing of Innocence. Your mission is simple. Retrieve the Innocence if there is one and get back here with the Innocence intact. I suggest you leave right now as Akumas were spotted near that area. They might reach there about the same time as you two, so be careful."

"Alright, I'll just get a change of clothes," Kanda announced and stood up to leave.

"Me too!" Lavi declared excitedly and walked out of Komui's office with Kanda.



"I didn't realise that they were wet!" Komui exclaimed in surprise as Lenalee sweatdropped. Trust her brother to be so... oblivious to his surroundings.

After changing into a new set of uniform and packing the necessities, Lavi and Kanda were ready to set off for their mission. Allen and Lenalee went to bid them goodbye and good luck at the canal. Lavi waved and smiled at them while Kanda did nothing, as usual.

After getting into the train which would eventually take them to their destination, Lavi prepared to take a long nap while Kanda just sat in his seat and read through the mission booklet. It was going to take quite some time before they reach their destination.
