Okay, so I know I should NOT be starting a new story, considering I haven't updated my other stories for about half a year, but this is my current obsession and I need something to show for it. I hope you enjoy! May or may not just be a oneshot, depending.
Disclaimer: No, sadly. If I did, Kanda would never ever ever ever die. T^T
Victory was not something known to Allen Walker. At least, not when it came to a certain Kanda Yuu. Even after the Black Order had successfully defeated the Millenium Earl and the Noah clan, Allen could not feel victorious about the accomplishment when he always had a certain long haired excorcist haunting his thoughts. Of course, he knew that it was risky to love Kanda. Hell, it was downright dangerous, but...
Shit... Allen grit his teeth together. But he couldn't help it. He had fallen hopelessly in love with the one person in the entire Order that hated him.
That's why it shocked the parasitic excorcist when Kanda cornered him after the victory party that Allen had reluctantly attended.
"Moyashi." Kanda had ground out.
"It's Allen, BaKanda." The younger teen had answered automatically.
"Shut up." The samurai forced out, he had almost sounded...nervous? But that wasn't possible. It's Kanda. The white-haired boy went quiet, holding his breath.
Kanda met his gaze, "Tomorrow we're all leaving to go our seperate ways, and I need to know."
"N-need to know what?" Allen whispered.
"Don't play dumb with me. I've seen the way you look at me. And I could have sworn you saw me looking back." Allen almost choked. He'd noticed...? The swordsman continued, "I...love...you. And before we leave and never see eachother again, I need to know. I just...need to know that you feel the same way...about me."
The younger boy was quite shocked. He'd never seen Kanda act like this, so open, so insecure, so...desperate. For a long time they just stayed that way. Then Allen let out a bubble of nervous laughter and whispered:
"I love you to, BaKanda." His voice wavered for a moment, "But I need you to promise me something, okay?"
"...okay."
"When you're ready, come and find me again. Come find me, and together, we'll create a family for us."
"Moyashi, that's impossible. We're both guys, we can't have children." Kanda's mind started to race.
"Kanda, do you know what family means?" The younger boy smiled at him, tears in his eyes, "I think family means that you care for eachother and you never leave eachother alone. A family doesn't have to mean children and a picket fence, you know."
The samurai stared at him in wonder, silently taking it in.
"So you have to promise me, Kanda. Promise you'll come find me, but only when you're ready."
"I promise." And then Kanda had kissed him. Claiming him for his own and no one else's. At least for their last night together.
The next morning they parted ways with a simple wave from Allen, and a barely perceivable nod from Kanda. Lenalee and Komui watched this interaction with sad eyes, but they were quickly replaced with hasty smiles as the young ex-excorcist rejoined them and left with them.
They had come together for a single night, only to be parted the next morning. Their story was tragic, but Allen Walker continued to hold his head high, believing that circumstances, or maybe even fate, would bring them together again.
Whew! So, let me know what ya think!
