Title: Innocent Sorrow

Synopsis: "This feeling. This was it. This was love." - When Allen Walker meets the handsome Lavi, it seemed like it was meant to be. But can Allen stand one heartbreak after another? Feminine!Allen. LaviAllen.

Warning: Romance. Possible angst in later chapters. Lots of fluff here and there, especially in the first couple of chapters. Lavi is an American in this fic, while Allen stays as a British. The setting is on Mother Earth, so expect real-life problems and huge situations.

Author's Note: EVERYTHING IS MINE. COPYRIGHTED! Haha, well, inspiration for this fic is the book "Out of the Blue" by Val Rutt! However, the storyline is different. I hope you enjoy this fic; comments/favourites are greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for reading my work.

Love, SilentInceptor xx

"Hey stranger! Do you believe in love at first sight? Or do you need me to walk by again?"

"Woah!" Allen shouted as he hit the ground. Nothing seemed to be going his way this Saturday morning. His mother woke up on the wrong side of bed and ordered him to get milk from the nearby supermarket. Allen, being still half-awake, then proceeded to accidentally drop the milk carton and eventually had to pay for the spilled milk and the carton he bought afterwards. Now, he slipped and fell on the concrete pavement that lead to his house. And spilled the milk. Again.

Tears threatened to overflow as he thought about what a horrible day he had. He was now left with very little pocket money, two bruised knees, an injured elbow and spilled milk. Great.

He couldn't help it anymore. Allen started to feel tears streaming down his cheeks. Unless a miracle happens, which he doubt it would, his mother would absolutely kill him.

Then, he heard light, quick footsteps behind him. He quickly scrambles to get back up, afraid that he would look like an idiot blocking the footpath.

"Shh, it's okay..." Allen heard a gentle, sweet voice as he struggled to get up from the floor. His injured elbow, which was scraped from the fall, retracted in pain as the raw flesh came into contact with a warm hand. Even though he was still in a daze, he could make out a muffled 'sorry' from the guy who helped his up. (Or at least he assumed it was a guy from the low voice) He hurriedly wiped away her tears, lest he appeared like a crybaby in front of the stranger.

"Thank you for the-" Allen stopped. That was when his dark brown eyes met a pair of light green ones. He blushed.

"It's no problem at all," The boy smiled. His heart instantly melted when he saw his dimples which formed at the end of his wide grin. A small smile tugged at the ends of his mouth as he repeatedly went over his cute American accent in his head.

He gingerly held Allen's arm to check his injury. He winced.

"Hey," He said softly, "You're bleeding; are you okay? Do you need a doctor?" He looked into his eyes, concern evident in his caring tone. Allen felt his heart skip a beat and could swear his legs were quickly turning to jelly. Suddenly, his wounds didn't hurt as much as before.

"It's okay, I'll just walk myself home."

"I'll help you," He took him by the arm and placed it across his strong shoulders. Allen couldn't help but smile.

"I've never seen you around before, are you new here?" Allen managed to pluck up the courage to ask despite the fact that he was hyperventilating like nobody's business inside of him. The boy's smile then grew even bigger, making him subconsciously bite his lip.

"Yes, I just moved to London with my family. My dad's stationed here for a couple of years. Work stuff, you know?" He paused for a while before reaching his hand out, "I'm Lavi."

"Allen. Allen Walker." Allen grabbed his hand in a firm handshake. He could hardly believe this was happening to him.

"Allen...That's a pretty awesome name."

He laughed.

"Really? Normally I would get teased at school for having such a name. It...sort of sounds like a girl, you know?"

"Don't worry about them, you are, I mean, your name is wonderful," He smiled once more, this time his gesture made him giggle in delight.

That was when he took a good look at his face. He didn't look very much taller than Allen - though he was already quite tall. His eyes, though a mesmerizing shade of green, was marred by the dark circles around it. His hair was a reddish brown and it seemed to Allen that he had meticulously used hair gel to keep the curls from forming. However, what really made him giggle was his beautiful smile which said a thousand words without even speaking.

"There, that's my house," Allen pointed to the one to the right. Lavi nodded and went ahead to knock on the door. It opened to reveal a good-looking middle-aged woman dressed demurely in a white dress. Almost as immediately as she came to the door, the woman gasped in shock at the sight before her.

"Allen Walker! Look at what you've done to yourself," She then stopped, as if to take a closer look at the male specimen in front of her, "You've also troubled this fine gentleman over here!"

"Oh, no, it's no worry at all, ma'am," He supported Allen as he hobbled over to the woman. Allen then started to explain to his mother what exactly had happened. His mother shook her head, "You clumsy fellow, oh, young man, how could we ever repay you? Do come in for some tea!"

"It's okay, ma'am, I have to get home to run some errands for my father." His reply made Allen's heart sink.

"However, I would like to drop by this evening to check on Allen, if it's alright with you, Mrs. Walker?" He flashed Allen another one of his mega-watt smiles and he suspected if he wasn't holding onto his mother for support, he would have swooned and made another epic fall on the ground again.

"Oh, I'm sure Allen would love the company, Lavi," Mrs. Walker squeezed Allen's hand, as if teasing him 'someone's got himself a boyfriend!', to which the younger Walker shot his mother an odd glance - something between a questioning look and an annoyed face.

"That's great, I'll see you later then, Allen?"

'Oh my gosh, stop smiling...' He could feel a blush creeping up his cheeks.

"Yes, thank you again for the help - it was really nice of you,"

' 'it was really nice of you' ? IT WAS REALLY NICE OF YOU? What kind of response was that?'

He chuckled before waving and turning to leave. Allen couldn't take his eyes off of him as he swiftly crossed the road and unlocked the door opposite hers. His eyes widened as he saw him walk into the house and turn around to wave once more. He smiled.

Looks like today wasn't such a bad day after all.
