Chapter 1

Yesterday, We Were Lovers

The first day he set his eyes on the wonderful features of Allen Walker, he knew then that this very person, is the one he capable of falling in love with. Contrary to certain pedophile or others, Kanda was not a shallow person who can simply get his hormones up with that pretty and innocent face. For him the façade behind the happy, gentle and caring face is the most loneliest face he had ever seen.

" Kanda, quit moping around and help us…Jeez, must you be antisocial at all times," Allen's voice roared throughout the noisy room where all the boys and girls were busy making the preparation of Friday's graduation party.

Surprisingly, the others just ignored the very rare harsh tone of Allen. When it's come to Kanda, everything is possible. It was not a secret anymore when they are together right now as in boyfriends. The couple is just too cute for them not to be thrilled over that they almost forget that the wonderful and ever popular Allen Walker will not be single and available anymore.

During the first month of the news, Kanda had to face the temptation to knock over the girls in the school kept whispering and giggling every time he is in view. It is to be expected for them to be curious but the trouble was nothing compared to his annoying self-proclaimed best friend, Lavi.

At the sudden thought of the red haired, the Japanese feel a little bit ticked off resulted from the annoying memories he was forced to share with him in the most years of his teenage life. " Hey you!!" he shouted to an unfortunate occupant of the room.

The unfortunate girl, Rou Fa jerked slightly when she was called by the suicidal long haired man. She was to help Allen to organize the party by bringing the materials from the decoration or something. For once, she was slightly scared that she was ever found out by Kanda. Yes, Allen had been her crush since she had known him and she both couldn't believe and accepted that Allen was hooking up with rudest person in the school, Yu Kanda.

"What I am supposed to be doing?," Emerged from one of the shadowy place in the room, where he will not in the way of the busy crowd and appeared invisible, he approached the girl with cautious step.

It's not like he had volunteered himself to be there, but Allen was insisting that he came too since it will be their last gathering with other kids before the graduation next month. He really had weakness against the adorable face that his lover capable of putting on. Maybe later he can have some revenge later for putting him in such difficult situation. Kanda mentally snickered at the thought.

He could just play along right now.

" Well, what is it!," Kanda was getting annoyed with this girl stuttering along and keep looking around for any chores that Kanda be any help.

"Urm….I think…you can help with getting the invitation cards to all the teachers, is that all right with you?," on her hands were a bundle of fancy cards and to his disgust they were pink and frilly.

" Who in the hell got them in freaking pink?," Kanda was so shocked that he had blurted the sentence.

" Well, Lavi-san was in charge with them," she fidgeted a bit and before she knew it, Kanda already taken them.

" I'll do it."

"Ooh..yes, thank you," she dashed immediately from his line of sight.

"Tch…,".What's wrong with that girl. Anyway, now that I got my hands on these creepy cards, better get rid of them quickly.

Unaware by Kanda, a pair of eyes watched him for afar and with a small smile, Allen also continued his work.

……………………………………………………

"So how many have you give out so far?," the white haired male peeked on the cards on Kanda's hand. 2 hours had passed on Kanda only managed to hand 7 out of 18 invitation cards to the teachers.

"It's none of your business. Don't you have your own work to do, president?," Kanda glared through his long bangs.

"Nope, the others are getting ready to go back. Figure you need some help with all these." Without asking, Allen took hold a couple of them and marched ahead of Kanda.

"Tch…you should know I hate these kind of things. Anyway, I don't think it's good idea to invite those perverted assholes. They are clearly none fan of us," the Japanese grumbled but he followed Allen without question.

"You mean Mr Link and Mr Leverrier. They did not mean us any harm, you are getting overly paranoid. They did let us graduate, let us thank them for that," Allen smiled at him, however sincerely talking, Allen was aware that Leverrier is in a way creepy, the bastard never failed to get him in trouble, finding fault in everything he done and insults them with every chance he can get. Allen shuddered when he remembered the way Leverrier leered lustfully to Lenalee, his best friend. He wished he could kick that old bastard between the legs for that.

"Oi…..bean sprout,"

" What is it, Kanda? For the millionth times, it's Allen. My name is Allen." Man, when it's come to my name, Kanda can be such idiot.

The taller male give him the rest of the damn pink cards and marched away with only two piece of them, "You go do others. Let me handle Link and Leverrier."

" Kanda, you are not going to handle them. Just give them and go. Don't go into any trouble while you are at it," Allen warned him. Kanda can be protective sometimes; he out of most people should know how Leverrier will give anything to abuse Allen, mentally and physically. Even though, Howard Link was not like that, Kanda was very wary when the blonde can become such stalkerish bastard of a teacher.

" Fine..you are such a nag, bean sprout,"

"Yes, and I love you too, Kanda," Allen said jokingly but he noticed the red tinge of Kanda's ears from his back.

" Shut up."

……………………………………………

"So, Allen, who are you going with to the party?," Lenalee asked slyly.

"Do you really need to ask me that?," the cafeteria was packed with students having their lunch at this time. Lenalee was sitting beside him as usual, leg crossed with a simple lunch made from home. Apparently, Lenalee's paranoid brother, Komui won't take chances of his lovely little sister taking unknown food that may be poisoned or drugged at school.

" Good to know you guys are still together," she added," If not, maybe you will consider going with me instead."

Allen is having a hard time swallowing the huge lump of food from his mouth when he heard the ridiculous suggestion," You better be joking, Lenalee or you will be the death of me."

"Aww…am I not your type then. How about the handsome and wonderful Bookman Jr.? For all we knew, he may have the hots for you, president?." Lenalee nudged the little guy so he can followed her eyes to the sight of the tall red haired a few tables away from them.

Lavi, the self-proclaimed Kanda's best friend was having a good time during the lunch, by the way Allen sees him. It's no shocking news that Lavi was indeed popular with all the gorgeous attributes and charming attitudes. A group of girls around him were competing for his attention and the teen was overly too happy that he had forgot that he had left Kanda alone at the end of the table.

The other man was looking calm as always eating his soba without the companion of the irritating red head. Allen could interpret from the look of him. He chuckled lightly which were not going unnoticed by Lenalee.

"Where are you looking at, Allen?," Even though, it is quite obvious, Lenalee enjoyed the blushing look of her best friend to be catch staring at his lover.

"Knock it out…you are ruining my eating mood. Lenalee, you better….."

"Look at the time, I must go to prepare the club meeting. See you later, Allen-kunn," she is quickly remove herself from the table and walks gracefully from the hall.

Lenalee sure is weird these days. I hope she is not hiding something from me. "I wonder if she keeping something behind my back?," With that thought, he determined to confront the next time he got hold of her.

A gentle tap on his shoulder made him jerked slightly," Hey, you all right, Walker? Lunch time is almost over. You will miss the next class"

When did he get behind me. Allen gave a grateful smile at him," I am sorry, Mr Link. Thank you for reminding me."

"Be careful." After the short reminder, the blonde went away to scold other students who still lingering at the lunch hall, ushering them to go to the next class. When he got to Lavis's table, all the girls had scampered away leaving Lavi trying to catch Kanda who is in no hurry to leave.

" You, Bookman and Kanda. Meet me at my office after class."

Both boys paid no mind to the reminder and left the hall like the others.

…………………………………………

" Haha…they told you to bring Tiedoll next Monday. For what purpose, I wonder? Are you getting kicked out from the school?," Lenalee joked as Kanda told both her and Allen how Howard Link unexpectedly called him and Lavi to the office a few hours ago.

The three of them are walking back home together since Lenalee lives not so far away from Kanda and Kanda had to accompany Allen to the station to take the train.

" Don't be ridiculous. They only want them to sign some papers," Kanda said before adding," I think."

Lenalee smiled warmly.

Getting slightly behind both of his most important person right now, he noticed how good actually Kanda and Lenalee look together. Lenalee's pigtailed swayed gracefully when she walks and her small figure fit perfectly against Kanda broad and hard body. Allen became annoyed at the very thought. He knew how exactly his relationship with Kanda, man with another man, is a threat to the society morality. But, imagining Kanda with another girl, even with Lenalee scared him more than anything.

I am not seriously in love with Kanda, am I?

Sure, he was attracted to the long haired stoic Japanese but he figured that the relationship will not go any further since Kanda refused to go any intimate than a light kiss they rarely shared during dates and sometimes at school. But, falling in love with the man who he was not sure liking him back anymore, was dangerous.

How can I have the confidence in having this type of relationship.

"Allen, what's wrong?." The sweet girl stopped since he noticed how Allen had been silent during the entire journey.

Two pair of dark eyes stared at him worriedly, he let out a nervous laugh and give both of them a light pat at the back," Nothing, I am just thinking of the party. That's all. Don't worry about me," Allen dragged each of them in his hands, feigning happiness.

" I wish we can stay like this forever," the hold on Kanda and Lenalee tightened in the small teen's hands.

" You wish we never grow up? Don't be childish. I am waiting all this time to get rid of the old man and live on my own. Now that I'm nineteen, I can do whatever I want, without Tiedoll being there patronizing me all the damn time….," Kanda barked at his lover.

" Wow, you sounds so frustrated that I had almost pitied you…almost," Allen stared at Kanda in amazement. The Japanese narrowed his eyes when his lover didn't take him seriously. " I don't see what so great living alone and all that. I think I appreciate if I have someone home to greet me when I get back."

" It's kind of lonely," Allen's expression was contorted with sadness.

" Allen-kun, you …..," She felt like hugging her best friend right now. She had always hated to see him hurt like this. The topic had triggered painful memories in Allen.

" That main point I like to say is," Kanda rubbed his forehead with his other hand, face filled with uncomfortable emotions that Allen and Lenalee had a hard time reading them.

The taller man turned Allen so that he was facing face to face with his small lover, the grip that Allen had on Lenalee is automatically released.

" After the graduation, I wish….to live with you." Kanda told him in commanding and determined tone.

Allen stared at Kanda with wide eyes and slightly open mouth. Lenalee gasped at the sudden outburst that was unexpectedly very brave since Lenalee was still here and they were still in public.

" I am bloody serious, Allen," both of Allen's already in his powerful grip. If it's not for the people that may ogled them much more, Kanda would have kissed the boy right here, right at this moment.

Tears are threatening to fall. I am going to cry in the public and it's all this bastard fault. Despite of that, Allen can't help but to haves small flow of tears down his cheeks.

"For God's sake. Can you stop crying, idiot," Kanda was getting redder in every moment since he just realized that he had just blurted out the embarrassing proposition in front of Lenalee, of all people. But damn it, he can't help since the bean sprout had been acting weird.

A pink handkerchief is handed to him, an offer he can't refused since Allen will embarrassed himself even further with the tearful face," I am glad for you, Allen." Lenalee said.

" Yeah." He answered. Thank you, Kanda, Lenalee. I don't know what to do if I loss both of you.

You are just too precious for me.
