Birthday Cake

x

Allen Walker was mindlessly stuffing his face full of Jerry's finest cooking to his heart's content at one of tables in the dining hall. Lenalee smiled softly at her friend's silly behaviour as she made her way to sit next to the English boy after her routine coffee run to the science department. Any normal girl would have been disgusted as such a display, but Lenalee found it to be one of Allen's most endearing qualities. The Chinese exorcist continued to sit quietly as she enjoyed a hot cup of peach tea.

Just as the girl was just about to ask Allen a significant question, a certain red-haired one-eyed teen inconveniently popped out of nowhere and glomped the white haired boy from behind.

'Alle—n! Want to help me prank Yuu?'

Allen swallowed his food roughly and frowned. He didn't want to get dragged into another one of Lavi's childish schemes. 'I don't think I should get involved… Remember the last time we pranked Kanda? We nearly lost our, well, you know…' Allen shuddered at the terrible memory.

Lenalee giggled nervously at her two best friends as the bookman apprentice tactfully started to whine and annoy the sixteen-year-old to get him to submit to his immature little game and Allen being Allen caved in rather quickly.

'…What are we going to do?' Allen asked cautiously, defeated. Once Lavi had a prank planned, there was no way getting out of it and the sixteen-year-old was always involved somehow.

Allen blushed after hearing the prank that Lavi had in mind. He wants me to do wha—t! The English boy thought as he inwardly panicked. Had Lavi gone mad? He wasn't sure how Kanda would take to something like that, but despite the what-if's, Allen found the opportunity to be quite curious. In the past few months, particularly after the Ark Incident in Japan, Walker had grown very fond of his Japanese comrade and had secretly fancied him at a distance. And Allen had usually gotten into fights with the latter to assure that this secret stayed intact. He didn't know how the Japanese exorcist would react if he found out about these intimate feelings. Perhaps this prank could be a way for the sixteen-year-old to finally confess? If things didn't work out, he'd just play it on the joke. That's simple and innocent enough, right?

Lavi's mischievous grin grew wider as he noticed the red tint on his friend's pale cheeks as he thought about the 'brilliant' prank that he had just come up with. Despite the sixteen-year-old's belief, Lavi knew all about the British teen's feelings towards a certain Japanese exorcist. Don't get him wrong, this game was all in good fun, but if it was a way to get the little bean sprout to finally get his feelings out in the open, the better. Now that he got he got the biggest piece to the plan, he needed to focus on its minor details.

'Lenalee, do you think you could help us make the cake?'

The Chinese girl shook her head and answered, 'No way. I'm not helping you two with such a childish prank. You should just leave Kanda alone. You know how he is'. It's true that Lenalee completely disagreed with such an immature act, but she also didn't wish to help because she secretly liked Allen herself and just before Lavi came in and so rudely interrupted, she was to ask him out on a simple date.

'Aww, but, Lenalee! It's for Yuu's birthday!' Lavi pouted.

Lenalee just shot the red head one of her infamous glares successfully shutting the latter up. The Chinese girl took her exit away from the table, withdrawing from any other chance of getting dragged in.

The two boys thought that the Asian girl seemed a bit more upset than normal, but let it go as quickly as it came.

'We could always ask Jerry?' Allen offered.

Lavi beamed. Brilliant!

Lunch time the next day, Allen and Lavi were getting ready to put the plan in action knowing that the samurai exorcist would be eating his usual soba or tempura meal during this time. The sixteen-year-old dusted off his black coat and tended to his red velvet cravat just before Lavi handed him the delightful pastry. The boy was dressed in his finest clothes for the occasion. The red head gave him the signal to commence, but just as soon as the white haired boy moved towards their unfortunate target, the former pulled him back.

'Wait a sec!' Lavi pulled out a tube of clear peach flavored lipgloss with sparkles and began applying generously on the English boy's porcelain lips before Allen shook him off.

'What are you doing?'

'Lipgloss. We need you to look as cute and seductive as possible. *Moé is important! '

'The bloody hell did you get lipgloss?'

'Lenalee's panties drawer' Lavi stated, his face straight as if it were the most obvious answer in existence.

…I don't even want to know.

The white haired boy glanced back at Lavi before awkwardly making his way to the lunch tables, placing the cake down on the bench softly before sitting close to Kanda. Too close. The sixteen-year-old was so close to the Japanese exorcist that he could smell his 'disgusting' odor of cream cheese cupcake icing [Lavi sprayed Allen just as he left, so there could be no objections. Walker thought that the Bookman apprentice was getting a bit carried away. The latter made him feel rather awkward; it was as if he were his best mate's personal ball-joint doll].

'What do you want, brat?' Kanda demanded, his voice obviously annoyed and irritable.

Allen took a deep breath to reassure himself that he could do this and that this was all just a simple birthday prank. The boy lowered his head slightly, causing his soft white bangs to fall over his silver-grey eyes, a hint of red flushed across his pale cheeks as he shifted closer to the older male. Think 'Moé '!

'Umm, Yuu… I know it's been awhile since we've last spent time together and I know we are supposed to keep our relationship private and that you really dislike public displays of affection, but I thought that since today is your birthday…'

An eyebrow twitch as Kanda's eyes fell on that disturbing piece pastry that Walker brought up to the surface of the table. The said cake was rectangular in shape and decorated with a girly baby-pink frosting base, laced with soft yellow accents around the edges. White and yellow star-shaped sprinkles were scattered across the entirety of the cake as a delicate decoration. This ridiculously embellish edible was topped with a decent sized *Hello Kitty figurine holding a matching plastic set of cute plastic balloons of soft rainbow colours.

What kind of sick joke is this?

'I had this cake made especially for you. It's strawberry. It couldn't possibly be chocolate, as you know how it's not according to my fancy and I was hoping we could eat this together.'

Finders, exorcists, and everyone else turned their attention to the 'special' couple in the corner. Snickers and soft whispers could be heard throughout the dining hall. Lavi was laughing quietly close-by, out of plain site, waiting for the opportune moment…

Kanda rounded up on Allen angrily, 'Why the fuck would I eat this piece of shit?'

This British brat was treating him like some cheap twat!

'But Yuu, surely you would do it for your boyfriend?' Allen said sweetly, his silver eyes glittering with innocence as he smoothly slipped his gloveless human hand into the Japanese's and intertwined their fingers together.

Again with his fucking given name! Was the stupid bean trying to piss him off? And since when were they a bloody couple?

The English exorcist leaned his head against the taller one's shoulder, exposing his soft features, particularly, his pale lips that sparkled in the cafeteria's bright lights. Walker tried his best to look slightly offended.

The boy's laced lips instantly caught Kanda's attention. The word 'cute' almost came to mind, but second exorcist was much too prideful to admit such things.

'What the fuck's wrong with you, Bean Sprout?' The nineteen-year-old sneered.

Allen did his best to ignore BaKanda's dreadful little nickname for him. He was in too deep and Kanda was trying to break him, so Walker needed to step up his game.

The sixteen-year-old moved to straddle the Second exorcist's lap, facing him, a soft smile featured in his silver orbs

'I've always fancied that little nickname you've given me, you know that, but I love it so much more when you call me by my real name. I enjoy hearing you say it with that lovely Japanese accent of yours, especially during our special time', Allen purred as he ran a well manicured hand through Kanda's dark locks and proceeded to undo the red tie, allowing the latter's hair to fall before leaning forward and whispering 'A-ren' in his best Japanese imitation.

The room grew deathly silent just as the couple's lips were just barely hovering each other, a bright light flashed, blinding the two exorcists.

'Allen! RU—N!' Lavi shouted as he darted out of the dining hall with a camera in one hand and a few Polaroid photographs in the other. He could be heard laughing the word 'proof!' triumphantly as he made a break for it.

Walker tried to follow his best friend's example, but found himself unable to escape as he was grabbed by his hair, stabilizing him and forcing him to look up as the Japanese exorcist's face as the nineteen-year-old grinned evilly.

"U-Uhm… Kanda?" Allen began, his trembling voice just barely above a whisper.

Kanda said nothing as he threw the smaller boy over his shoulder and proceeded to make his way out of the dining hall and into the dark corridors of the Black Order.

Allen shot a fearful expression towards the dining hall's crowd, but no one moved to help him. Damn.

The English boy braced himself for the Hell that was to come.

Rough and exhausted moans escaped the English boy's lips as he gripped the sheets beneath him, his body dripping with sweat as Kanda was hovering above him.

"W-wait, Kanda…!" Allen exhaled, a small blush painted across his face as he smiled softly. Who knew the Japanese man felt the same way all along?

An arrogant smirk spread across Kanda's face as he leaned forward…

*The ending scene is loosely based off an illustration of Kanda x Allen.

*I thought about giving Allen glasses to further play on the 'moe' factor, but it didn't make it in.

*I might fill in the 'holes' later, such as what happens right after Kanda takes Allen away and elaborate more of the small preview at the end. If I feel like it.
