Hello and thanks for at least clicking on my story. I'm sorta new to the world of DGM, but I just couldn't help but write (or try to write) a fanfic. Please don't be too harsh if you decide to leave a negative comment. I am open to criticism and possible rearranging ideas so feel free to politely state your opinions. This is a highly Lenalee x Allen story, but I am planning on putting some awesome fight scenes and some humorous aspects in as well so just bare with me
Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Rain
It's raining… Why does it have to rain? Lenalee gazed sadly out the window. The Order had been under siege by the troublesome weather for nearly a week and it took
its toll on everyone. Reever and the science department had even stopped nagging Komui to sign documents that were now piled dangerously high on his desk. Continuing
down the corridor, Lenalee was lost in her gloom when she heard a familiar sound. It was a pleasant sound, a sound she hadn't heard in what seemed like a long time.
Laughing? Who could be so happy on such a horrible day? Intrigued, she made her way towards the merry sound. Her quest ended at the large, wooden, courtyard doors
(which had been closed to keep out the mud and rain). "Who could it be?" Lenalee wondered aloud as she cracked open one of the doors and peered out into the soaking
rain.
"Give that back, Timcanpy! You're going to drop it!" The young exorcist chased after the golden golem, laughing as it darted in and out of his reach. The wind rushed the
cold rain into his eyes as he continued in pursuit of his companion. "Be careful, Timcanpy! You could get blown away!"
Lenalee half-noticed the small package the golem was carrying but didn't pay much attention to it as she became instantly amused watching the scene unfold. Allen-kun, you
always seem to know how to make me smile. She giggled quietly to herself as the white-haired boy finally caught his prey.
"You're a real trouble maker, Tim." Allen smiled as the golem released the package he had stolen earlier and hid in the remaining dry area of his coat. "Oi! Timcanpy you're
getting my shirt all wet!"
"Does it matter? You're already soaked, Allen-kun!" He turned quickly (almost falling) to see Lenalee standing in the doorway and smiled again.
"Lenalee! I'm back!" He called, happy to see her after a long mission in Africa. Finally! There's someone else I can talk to other than Lavi! Not that Allen didn't like
Lavi. That wasn't what he meant at all. He and Lavi had a great time dying of heat exhaustion in the Sahara on a wild goose chase for Innocence… Ok, Allen had 'fun' taking
care of Lavi who had disregarded his warnings and became delusional in the heat. Although, it was pretty funny when Lavi started hitting on that cactus. Allen held back
his laughter at the thought as he made his way to the door. Unfortunately his entrance was less than graceful; he slipped just a couple of feet away from the door and splashed
into a large puddle of mud.
"Allen-kun! Are you alright?" Lenalee asked, not wanting to rush to his aid and end up falling herself.
"I'm fine." The fallen exorcist answered as he sat up and looked down at his muddy form. That's when Timcanpy popped out the collar of his coat, also covered in mud.
The golem looked annoyed and shook the wet dirt onto Allen, who had started laughing at his little friend. "Don't get mad at me! You're the one that came out here in the first
place!"
Seeing he was alright, she called out to him again. "Come inside before you catch a cold!" Lenalee giggled as she watched him cautiously rise from the mud and finally arrive
at the door. His face was adorned with speckles of mud and his pure white hair had been stained similarly, but his smile…oh how she had missed that smile…seemed to make
the rest of his appearance fade into the background.
"Lenalee? Are you alright?"
"Oh!" She realized she had been starring and quickly looked away as her face turned pink. "It's nothing. Welcome back, Allen-kun."
Noticing her reaction, Allen also blushed and scratching the back of his head, changed the subject. "W-Would you like to join me for lunch?"
Turning back to him she smiled. Same old Allen-kun. "I'd love to. But you'd better clean up first. If Nii-san sees you like that, he might bring out another one of his robots
and destroy the place."
Both shuttered at the thought and walked towards Allen's room. They had begun a nice conversation about each others past few weeks when they arrived at their
destination. He waved to her (after making their dining arrangements) as she left (a little sooner than he would have liked). Allen knew it was silly to feel sad when they were
going to meet again in an hour or so, but for some reason he missed her more while on this mission than he had on previous ones. Shrugging off the feeling and gathering some
clean clothes, he made his way to the showers.
-Later-
Still deep in thought, Allen dried the remainder of his wet hair. A small sigh caught Timcanpy's attention as he fluttered around the room and landed snuggly on Allen's head.
"What should I do, Tim?" The golem answered by nuzzling further into his hair. "I got it for her, but will she think I'm weird? It's not her birthday, nor is it a holiday…Do you
have any ideas?" His companion shook his head and Allen signed again, picking up the small box he'd rescued from the golem earlier. Maybe this was a bad idea...
"Allen-kun! Are you ready to go?" Lenalee's sweet voice entered his room as she opened the door.
"Y-Yes!" Allen swiftly hid the present under his pillow and met her at the door, trying to erase the secret he felt was written all over his face.
Lenalee just smiled, either not noticing his nervous demeanor or not saying anything about it. Timcanpy eased the awkward silence by flying into Lenalee's soft blue-green
hair, settling himself atop her head. She laughed. "Hello Tim, did you miss me?" The golem happily snuggled into her hair, making her laugh once more. "Come on, Tim. We'd
better take Allen-kun to the cafeteria before he collapses of hunger!" The 15 yr. old was about to defend himself, when Lenalee grabbed his hand and started running down the
hall. "Let's go, Allen-kun!"
The pink he had avoided earlier threatened to come over his cheeks as her hand held his, but the rushing air cooled his face as they ran through the Order. Laughter echoed
down the halls as the two continued their race, unknowing that at that moment the sun peeked out from behind the clouds and the seemingly endless rain, stopped.
