A/N: Argh. Sorry I haven't been writing in a while, guys. And I know this isn't an update to Shades but I had free time during school today, which is why I started writing this. I was planning on continuing Shades, but it's been so long that I forgot where I left off. (Sadface.) Anyway, here's something new, that my sister said would "never happen", so I decided to write it. I hope you enjoy!

It was an oddly quiet day at the Order. Both Kanda and Lenalee were on missions, Lenalee's probably having more to do with travelling than actually hunting Akuma, and Lavi was much too preoccupied with some "plans" of his to bother with Allen. The quiet was going a little beyond eerie, according to the silvery-white-haired teen.

Allen, despite being the genius he was, had no idea how to keep himself busy. He had already eaten all of the leftovers in the building, and Jeryy wouldn't allow him another meal until 'at least eight thirty'. The clock had just barely passed noon, so he had eight-and-a-half hours to wait yet.

'Damn. What to do?' His poor, boredom-filled brain still hadn't even begun to receive ideas.

Here we go! He could always go check on the lab, but fear of becoming Komui's guinea pig held him back from going anywhere near it unless ordered to do so. However, that was his only idea so far, and it did begin to sound more and more tempting the more he thought of it. In fact, as he went over the pros and cons inside his head, unaware of his surroundings, he was subconsciously heading toward said lab.

'Hey, is that..?' It was.

Allen had spotted Lavi, who also seemed to be heading toward the lab, flipping rapidly back-and-forth through pages in a notebook, as if he was possibly... looking for something? Something... important? Suspicious? No, what could he possibly be looking for that would be that important?

So Allen ignored his better instincts.

"Hey, Lavi!" He called to the redhead; no response. "Hey, hey. Lavi? Errm.. what's up? What's in the notebook?" He continued, nearing the older teen to the point where he was almost hovering over his shoulder.

Lavi continued not to notice his albino shoulder-monkey's presence.

Managing to catch the tiniest glimpse of a few lines on one of the pages, he cocked an eyebrow. "Whoah, seriously. What is that?"

He attempted to snatch the book.

Too bad for Allen, he was not quite quick enough to accomplish this goal. Lavi had managed to duck as soon as Allen's arm came into view, causing the other boy to fall on top of him and knocking the notes out of his arms.

"Hey, Allen, baby." He winked. "Miss me already? It's only been a few hours." He continued in his flirtatious banter.

After crashing, Allen looked into the redhead's gorgeous, sparkling, green eye... and eyepatch. He began to blush; partly because he was embarrassed about his lack of agility, partly because he was angry, but mostly because of his undying (deeply subconscious) desires to get into Lavi's pants. Rather, as a teen-aged boy, anyone's pants, really.

Facial colours returning to their norm, he picked himself up off the ground, brushing off any shoe-dirt that might have managed its way onto his clothing during the fall, and sighed, his expression turning from one of embarrassment, back into curiosity, and a small amount of fear of what knowledge that notebook's pages might hold.

"La--" He was cut off before he could even get out the second syllable.

"I know how you feel. And I promise: we'll get to that. But you'll need to wait just a little while longer. Trust me, it's hurting me just as much as it's hurting you, but I'll make the wait worth your while." With a cocky smirk, Lavi gathered the notebook back into his arms, and continued strutting along his path to the lab, still hunting for whatever it was that he needed to be so secretive about.

Allen wasn't surprised with Lavi's behaviour. Neither was he impressed, and he certainly did not want to know what Lavi was going on about. He finally decided to give up on looking for something to do, and no longer wanting to even imagine the slightest of Lavi's scheme, he returned to his room to take a nap. Who knows? If he was lucky, he'd be able to eat again soon after he woke up.

------||------

No matter what Allen would think of him afterwards, Lavi just needed to go through with this plan. He'd spent the last few weeks very carefully laying it out, finally finishing the written plans within the past few hours he'd been hauled up in his room. Now he just needed to make a few preparations and wait for the right opportunity to proceed. That's why he was headed toward the lab. He needed to borrow a specific type of sleeping medicine from Komui.

Easy as cake. Just lie about having insomnia, right?

"KOMUI!" Lavi shouted, pointing to the name of a chemical next to its formula on a page as he approached the Chinese scientist. "I need some of this."

Komui eyed the page suspiciously, familiar with Lavi's, well, gender, and worried for the innocence of his little sister by instinct, despite the fact that she was currently far, far away from the Black Order on her mission. "What are you up to now?" He moved his glare from the notebook to the boy's face.

"N-nothing, I just.. haven't been sleeping very well lately. I've tried a bunch of the other things that I found lying around, but nothing has worked so far. I've done some research, and I think this would be perfect for my situation." He grinned, confident that Komui would fall for his blatant lie.

"Right, well." He murmured something incomprehensible, about 'teenagers' and their 'drug problems', and continued with, "Wait right here while I go get it."

Lavi watched the man walk into a different room, releasing a light chuckle at his ignorance in the matter, and recomposed himself as Komui returned, handing him a light paper packet.

"Now, taking just one of these should knock you out within minutes for at least ten hours. I don't expect you to be back for more for at least two months. And I will be checking up on you weekly to make sure you aren't administering them to any.. particular female..." He stared for a moment, brooding on all of the things one could accomplish with a person who had consumed this drug, then snapped at the redhead, who seemed to be amused by him spacing out. "Now go. Get out before I change my mind and use you for an experiment instead!"

Lavi obeyed, leaving the lab, and smirked as he went on his way.

The redhead decided that nothing would make him happier than for the rest of his plan to go this swimmingly.

Review? :D

Also, crack. Feel free to drop suggestions. They would be welcomed.
