One year passed in a blink of an eye, but one year is a long time, if it's how long one has been dating Kanda Yuu. Knowing his lovely personality and his flaws that don't matter in the least, it's kind of a huge achievement, Lavi thought.
He's been thinking hard, how they should celebrate, considering how his beloved Yuu hated any fuss around and involving him. Personally, he'd be happy with a nice dinner and amazing sex, but being the romantic that he is, he wanted something special. He wanted to make Yuu feel loved, maybe seeing a faint smile on his face, or a flush over his cheeks. God, he loved that guy so much!
As Lavi cruised back and forth in his room, he suddenly got a great idea: he'll ask Lenalee.
'No.' He found the girl on her way to the research lab, and she didn't prove herself to be helpful.
'Why? He trusts you the most, if you'd ask him what would make him happy, I'm sure he'd tell you.' Lavi begged.
'He's your boyfriend, not mine. If you want to know, ask him yourself.'
'Come on, Lenalee!' But the girl disappeared behind a door, shutting it behind herself.
The redhead turned and went back to his room. He started feeling nervous, because he only got a few hours until tomorrow, the big day, and he still had no idea what should he do. He started reading a book to calm himself, and halfway he decided to just stick to the good old routines: breakfast in bed – his favourite –, then they spend time together, and at the end of the day, dinner at candle light, and some romance time before sleep. Lavi planned some details, and then went to bed early, so he could wake up in time tomorrow.
The next morning he asked Jerry to make all of Kanda's favourite foods, and with heart beating fast and in a good mood, he went to his boyfriend's room, knocked on the door and tried to open it, only to find it closed.
It was strange, so he knocked more, but after a while he started panicking. He saw Allen coming from the dining room, so he approached the boy.
'Hey, Allen, have you seen Yuu?'
'Lavi! Yes, I did, he left early, now that you mention it, it was weird.'
'Why?'
'He looked at me with a weird look.'
'He always does.' Lavi sighed.
'No, this time he kept staring at me until I said something to him. Then he got angry at me and stormed out.'
'What the…? What did he say?'
'I asked him, why is he up so early. He said he always wakes up early, but now he volunteered on a mission so he's in a hurry and I shouldn't waste his valuable time.'
'Yuu volunteered? And left on a mission?' Lavi was shocked.
'He told me that.' Allen knit his eyebrows and looked at the other with his head tilted. 'Why?'
'Well, you see' Lavi looked at the food on a plate in his hand. 'it's our one year anniversary today.'
'Oh!' Allen looked like he's feeling really bad for Lavi, but he couldn't think of anything useful. He was about to say, what did you expect of Kanda, but luckily he realized in time that it's not the best thing to tell to his boyfriend. 'I'm sorry.' He blurted out in the end.
'Thanks. I'll be in my room, sulking, if anyone wants to find me.' And with that, Lavi put down the plate on the corridor's floor and went back to his room again.
He felt so betrayed and frustrated and stupid, he wanted to disappear in thin air. How could Yuu do this to him? How could he forget about their one year anniversary?
At first, Lavi wanted to go and find Kanda, and tell him how much of an asshole he is, but then he just didn't feel like it, so he just snuggled up in his bed and fell asleep.
