Okay! So this is a story that Winterblazewolf forced me to write. I just told her I got an idea for this and she forced me!! HOW CRUEL!! so here's the first chapter! Nothing much so say so... REVIEW PLEASE!!

"Allen?"

Lavi gave Allen a puppy eyes look. Allen sweatdropped. That can't be good… nearly every time he gives me that look he wants me to help him with some ridiculous favor like dressing up as him then helping him ask a girl out… Allen shuddered at the memory. He had been tricked into saying yes before he even knew what he agreed to. This time, he knew to approach with caution.

"Erm… Yes?"

"Allen, can you do me a favor?" Allen recognized that voice dripping with extra concentrated sweetener.

"Erm…? Depends on what that is, Lavi. I don't want to be whacked in the head by some woman you love's handbag again, for one," Allen's look became harder as he neared the end of his sentence.

"Oh, no. It's nothing like that, so please? Pretty please? With sugared icing on top?" Lavi put on his best pout when Allen maintained silence.

Allen rolled his eyes.

"I'm not going to fall for the guilt trip again Lavi. That was how you got me to do it that last time. You can pout at me for decades, point is, I'm not agreeing to anything before hearing what it's about,"

Lavi dropped his pout and washed all the sweetener from his voice.

"Argh, fine then. Allen, I swear you're getting smarter (smile from Allen) and that's unfortunate ("Oi! What do you mean by 'that's unfortunate'?") Can you help me get some red food coloring from Jerry? The darkest red he's got that's not maroon. Blood red if possible. Can you do that? Please?" Lavi begged.

Allen heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh! Okay then! I thought it would be something ridiculous again… but wait, what do you want red food coloring for?" Allen started having doubts with what his friend was asking him to do.

"Oh, nothing. Just lipstick, you know…" Lavi said too innocently.

"TELL ME, NOW," Allen put on his black poker face. "Or else…"

"O-okay. It's for a prank I'm planning to pull…"

Allen raised an eyebrow skeptically.

"On?"

Lavi sighed. He swore Allen was getting smarter and that was not good news for him. He won't get a stupid helper anymore! He leaned towards Allen and whispered his plan.

"EH? NO! I am NOT helping with something like that! He'll kill me just for helping you!" Allen freaked out.

Lavi shrugged and turned and walked away a bit. Then stopped and turned back.

"Remember the food coloring,"

Allen blinked.

"I didn't say I would do it! In fact I just expressed my thoughts on how I don't want to do it,"

Lavi smirked. Seems like Allen wasn't all that smart after all.

"You already said that you would do it, Allen. "Oh! Okay then!" Who was it that said that I wonder…"

Allen blinked twice. Then cursed.

"You tricked me!" Allen yelled after Lavi's retreating back.

"Eh? But I didn't! I already told you what I wanted you to do! It was your fault you didn't ask, Allen…" Lavi replied innocently without looking back.

"B-But… But Kanda will kill you for sure!" Allen now wasn't only worried about his own life, but for the life of his friend too. Literally.

Lavi stopped in his tracks, turned and walked back to Allen.

"Though I say it's a prank, you know why I'm playing it, right Allen?" He asked, hands in his pockets, his head cocked as he looked at his best friend.

"Yeah. I do. But Kanda will be very angry at you. Very, very angry,"

Lavi sighed, his usual cheerfulness no longer there.

"But I've told you before Allen; I need to know. Sometimes he bloody treats me like I'm not there, sometimes he's nice (for his standards) and sometimes he treats me like he hates me! Also for his standards, which is scary! I need to know which one is his real feeling toward me! I- You know I love him, Allen,"

Allen looked at Lavi, contemplating about the love struck fool in front of him.

"Okay, you already tricked me into saying that I would help you, so no need to get so depressed. But I just think that he'll be really angry at you. Life or death, you know…" Allen wanted to make sure that Lavi knew what he was doing. He wanted the best to happen for his best friend after all.

"I know he will," Lavi said, a smile slipping easily back onto his face. "But I'd have seen his reaction. After that, it'll work out somehow. Don't worry about me Allen," His smile spread into a grin. "Just remember the food coloring,"
