Sprawled on his bed, chewing his lip in thought even as Lavi contunued to babble at him, Allen realized it was really only one thing that kept him coming back to Tyki even as Lenalee tried to push him to Kanda.
Aggression.
It wasn't to say that Tyki wasn't aggressive, though he was less so, it was actually where that aggression was aimed that bothered him.
Kanda aimed his aggression at anything that breathed. (Or not, because Allen had seen several poor, inanimate objects suffer Kanda's fury.)
Tyki, should the rare occasion stir him to aggression(he was very laid back in general), aimed his aggression at people who threatened him or the other people he cared about, or people who actively tried to keep him from accomplishing his goals.
Allen wasn't saying that either was a better person because of their nature, or that it was even an accurate measure of their character, just that he knew, all too well, that he was easily hurt. It wasn't something he could do anything about, it just was.
And as confident as Lenalee was in Kanda, and as sure she was that Tyki was just some criminal who would use him and throw him away, Allen couldn't help but think that Tyki wsa better for him.
Not better, overall, just a better match.
Because Allen had been hurt before, so, so many times, that he was starting to think that the next time he really would just break and there wouldn't be anyone to put him back togeth-
"Allen?"
Lavi's voice cut through his thoughts.
"What?"
Lavi looked at him seriously. "Do you want some ice cream?"
Allen laughed. "No thanks, Lavi, I think I've got it figured out."
"So?" Lavi's voice was eager with curiousity. "Which one?"
Allen winked. "You'll see. Now, I've got to go talk to someone. I'll see you at school."
