A/N: If you are reading this than I am disclaiming characters and general DGM storyline....it's true

'Yuuuuuuu!'

Kanda closed his eyes. His head hurt, more than it had a few minutes ago, and Kanda found himself feverishly praying.

Perhaps if his eyes remained firmly closed, the owner to that cheery cry would stop calling his name and just leave.

'Yuuuuuuuu-hooooooo!'

Perhaps he would finally remember some important business he had to attend to that didn't involve bothering Kanda Yuu.

'Oi! Yu!

Perhaps the ground would swallow him up.

'Yu, Yu, Yu, Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Don't ignore me. Keepin' your eyes closed ain't gonna make me go away......'

He may even drop dead.

'....sides you should probably open them up before you walk inter summat. You do that enough with your eyes open ya know?

Or perhaps he would remain where he was. Right beside Kanda, rabbiting nonsense into his left ear. Kanda heaved a heartfelt sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose before opening his eyes. And there he was. Lavi: in all his red headed, patched eye and golden hooped ear glory. Looking slightly dishevelled as always with his black Exorcist jacket slung open and hanging off one shoulder. He scrunched the sleeves up to elbows again (Kanda hated it when he did that). His shock of red hair was artistically messed, sticking up to the ends apart from the front which always flicked sadly downwards in front of Lavi's good eye (Kanda hated that too).

He didn't want to deal with this person now. He was tired and soaked through to skin. Even as he lingered in the Great Hall a pool of water had begun to gather at his feet . The drops of rain, that clung to skin and hair and coat, trickling softly downwards. Kanda has too much to do. He's got to give Komui the Innocence he's successfully collected, but first he's got to find the man, then there's the report of the mission to labour through...He really wants some hot food in his belly, maybe some sleep, and his dark room where he can stare at its dark walls and think dark things. More than anything Kanda wants a bath and to be away from Lavi's smile.

'What?' Kanda put a world of menace into that grunt, but to none avail. The customery sardonic grin never left the other boy's face. But he did laugh and drape an all too familiar arm around Kanda's narrow shoulders .

Oh Yuuuuuuuu,' Kanda didn't even have the energy to scold Lavi for having said his first name so boldly and so repeatedly 'I have a joke which I want to share only with my favouritest sword wielding man of the Order.'

Kanda felt himself tense. He really didn't like the way Lavi had said that last 'Yu' nor the way he phrased that last sentence. Lavi was up to something. He was probably going to say or do something stupid that will force Kanda to hurt him. Possibly both. There's a suspicious glint in Lavi's emerald gaze.

God he's tired.

'Weeeeeell,' Lavi drawls 'less of a joke really.....more of a riddle. I'm having trouble with it and I was wondering if you'd help me?'

Kanda could feel his head pulsating angrily as he shifts in Lavi's grip, turning to eye the boy warily. If anything was to be suspected in the history of 'Things that are to Simply be Suspected' then, in Kanda Yu's mind, that very sentence from that very boy's lips, was it. Lavi liked words. He liked saying them. He liked playing with them. Kanda was a man of very few: often they were insulting or simple curses. Lavi didn't need help with riddles and Kanda wasn't the kind to give it.

For some reason, as Kanda's mind fuzzily sorted out bits of information so he could figure out what the hell Lavi was up to, he didn't think to shrug the other boy off. Choosing to dwell, instead, on how irritating Lavi is and how his hot breath tickled the lobe of Kanda's ear as he pressed his lips, which were cracked and slightly parted, against it.

Softly, so only he can hear Lavi asked 'Are you ready for the riddle Yuu? Ok the riddle goes like this...' His grip tightens and Kanda is pressed securely against Lavi's side. With the little energy he had there was now no chance of escape. "What do you think the Dark Order will do, Once they've found out about that Exorcist Yuu?"

Kanda's stomach lurched.

Then something very strange happened. It was though Kanda had entered a room full of chatter only to have everyone stop talking at once. It felt as though the storm had ceased and not a sound could be heard except for Lavi's heated pant, his lips having remained where they were, and Kanda's own erratic heartbeat.

'What did you just.....what do you mean?!' Kanda choked. Panic was unfolding slowly within him as well another emotion...one he was not unused to. Lavi's arm was still around his neck, hanging like some ridiculous scarf. Two slender fingers had worked their way through the collar of Kanda's uniform and were tapping a steady rhythmn against his bones, which jutted sharply out like broken wings.

'Well....' Lavi rested his head slightly against Kanda's forehead. His voice is cold and slow. Different from the happily idiotic tones he usually chose to adopt, this is the voice he also shares with only Kanda 'What do you think I mean?'

And that's when Kanda got his second wind.
