Note: This is my FIRST time publishing fanfiction on this website, although the second time overall. My first story wasn't complete and I deleted all of it, seeing that I'm such a failure... (sob) So my story may suck a little… maybe. I may change my writing style bit by bit as the story goes on. At the same time, it would get more mature... I'm thinking of submitting an extra part in the mature section, connected to the story but I'll still continue it here without the mature themes in it. When it comes to this, I'll inform it here. And... Both of them are not together in this chapter YET.

Setting: Somewhere after Lenalee got her innocence back in Crystal-form.

Disclaimer: I do not own D.Gray man and the characters. I'm just using some of the characters for some fun XD

Warnings: Those who don't like BL/shounen ai, don't read! My English may make you sick as well.


Chapter 1: Confusion

'Don't you become a crystal-type Lavi,' these words went through Lavi's mind while he lied on his bed. 'Tell me right away if you see any indication of it.'

'If so, we'll leave.'

"Mornin', beansprout!" Lavi tapped Allen's shoulder as he sat on the seat next to Allen, with Timcanpy on his head.

"MY NAME'S ALLEN!!" Allen corrected.

"Heh, what a temper despite eating so much to fill your growling stomach!" Lavi said, staring at the huge pile of food on the table in front of Allen. "And you don't seem to grow at all!!" Lavi teased.

Allen gave his friend a glare and went back to his half-finished breakfast. However, he couldn't concentrate much as the redhead was irritating him.

Lavi examined the inspector next to Allen. "Hey, two-spot! You're not eating?"

"Can you stop being so rude?!" Howard screamed at Lavi, not answering the question. With that, he continued to write on to the stack of papers on the table.

"My bad. Didn't sense that you're in a bad temper." Lavi said and rested his head on table, with his arms as a pillow, facing Allen. Timcanpy was helping itself to some of Allen's food while the boy continued devouring his food.

"Aren't you hungry?" The white-haired asked after finishing his last mouthful.

"Maybe… But I'm not in the mood to eat much, so let's not waste food." Lavi stuck his tongue out. "Even though, maybe you could have finished the leftovers."

Allen knew that there was something wrong with Lavi. Firstly, he was a bit too annoying to begin with and now, he wasn't eating anything although he hasn't eaten since last night. It was impossible that he's not hungry at all when he usually eats quite a lot, although not as much as himself.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"Is there anything wrong with me?" he smiled and gave the 15-year-old a questioning look. But he knew he was not going to be spared when the white-haired gave him a 'don't think you can get away with this' look.

"It's just that…"Lavi drifted off as he got up from the table, eyes looking to the side. Allen stared at him for answers.

"I was just thinking whether my Ozuchi Kozuchi would be the same as before." Lavi said the truth, but not fully.

"You're worrying about the powers of your hammer? Is that all?" Allen asked, not believing his answer completely.

"Yah… That's all." Lavi said, this time, lying.

Allen could tell that his friend is not telling him the truth, but he knew he would not get anything out at this rate.

"Ok, I shall not ask anymore until you're willing." Allen gave up.

"Hahaha… That's really it, honest!" He was lying through his teeth and he knew it.

'Honest my foot!' thought Allen.

In the meantime, the redhead was getting off his seat beside white-haired.

"For a start, let's go find Komui then." Lavi suggested. "I think we have piles of things to pack up in the Order."

Allen (with Timcanpy) and Lavi were in a room filled with books all over and numerous weird stuffs. They had been assigned to this room and they had no idea where are they as they haven't been to this room at all. Howard had finally left Allen's side as he had to attend a meeting or something that the kids would not have any idea about.

"About time he left. It's like an extra shadow behind my back with this supervision going on. I guess he thinks it's alright for me and you to be left in this room alone to pack things up." Allen exclaimed as he felt as if somebody has gotten of his shoulders.

"Haha, it's just difficult to talk to you with two-spots sticking on to you like superglue too. And, of course it's fine for us to be left alone! I don't like anything much would happen!" Lavi replied as he stared at the amount of things to pack.

Allen suddenly blushed after Lavi's comment about them being left alone. He had no idea why he blushed and tried hiding it from Lavi. Thank goodness Lavi didn't notice it due to the messiness in the room, distracting him. Timcanpy got off Allen's head and fluttered across the room.

"Let's get to work then!" The redhead turned around to face Allen.

During the whole packing up, Allen just couldn't stop looking at Lavi. Whether it was because of Lavi lying or he just wanted to look at him, Allen couldn't really figure out. Before he could confuse himself further, Allen spoke up.

"Say, would you tell me what's wrong with you now?" the white-haired asked again.

Lavi couldn't answer his question. He couldn't tell him the truth despite how much he wanted to say it out loud. He hadn't decided on whether to tell Allen or anybody about it yet. It wasn't a big matter (maybe), so he actually wanted to keep from them.

"Lavi?" Allen got him back to reality. He could sense Allen being concerned.

"It's not anything important, Allen. It's fine." Lavi replied.

Allen couldn't stand it anymore and put the books in his hands down on to the floor with a thud. He stormed all the way to Lavi, closing the gap between them, pulled Lavi at the collar of his shirt and smashed him on to the wall. Timcanpy was shocked and flew over to them, hovering over their heads.

"Ahh… What was that for, Allen?!" Lavi yelled into Allen's face.

"LAVI! Can't you believe me? Can't you tell me anything about you?" Allen paused, looked at him with anxious eyes and continued, "I don't know anything about you, except that you're Lavi and your incredible memory! What the hell's your name?! Lavi can't be your name! Are you an exorcist or are you a bookman successor?! Why are you an exorcist when you're a bookman successor?! I know nothing now that I thought about it!!" Allen screamed into his face desperately.

Lavi looked into his eyes and laughed off. Allen was puzzled and was going to question him when he was stopped by Lavi as he started talking. "Hahaha… Allen… Did you tell me EVERYTHING about you? Are you going to tell me even if I asked?"

Allen's eyes shot wide open. He, too, did not tell his exorcist friends everything about himself. He knew he couldn't. The things about him and Mana… Their secret.

Allen did not deny and let his bangs cover his eyes. "Sorry… I shouldn't be so selfish." Slowly, his hands on Lavi's collar loosened.

Lavi patted Allen on the head with his right hand. "It's ok." Allen bit his lips, regretted being so harsh on Lavi and angry at himself for not being able to be truthful to his friends.

"Well, continue packing then." He smiled at Allen. The white-haired exorcist forced himself to give a smile so Lavi would not be worried as Timcanpy landed on his head.

Shortly, Howard returned to supervise Allen. They were not even half finished even after it was already late in the night. It might take days before the room can be completely packed up. After the incident, both of them haven't been talking to each other much, even for the very talkative redhead. Allen was still thinking about the secrets that he's keeping from his friends, occasionally looking over to Lavi, while Lavi mind was still filled with voices of the Bookman. Suddenly, Allen's stomach growled, which was about time, even though Allen did ate at the cafeteria for lunch and dinner.

"Do you wanna eat something?" Lavi asked for the obvious.

Then they walked over to the cafeteria where Allen ordered numerous amount of food from Jerry.

"Are you still not eating?" Allen asked worriedly, as a few pinch of food from Allen's plate was all Lavi ate for the whole day. Timcanpy ate much more than he did.

"I did eat, didn't I?" Lavi answered jokingly but changed his tone after spotting Allen's expression. "I'm ok, but I might puke if you force food down my throat," said Lavi playfully, although knowing that it would not reassure Allen one bit.

Just as he was going to tease Allen again, Reever came to their table.

"Oh, hi Reever! Long time no see!" Lavi said, waving his hand, although they didn't contact for only one day.

"Ai! Libur!" Allen blurted with food in his mouth.

"Well, my name's Reever," he waved at both of them with a smile, and nodded as his and Howard's eyes met. The inspector did the same.

"Are you here regarding something?" asked Lavi, suspiciously.

"Yes, it's about your innocence, Lavi," Reever said, taking a little interest in Timcanpy, which was gobbling Allen's food.

Lavi's one good eye shone with sparks, although deep down, it wasn't the same. "Is it fixed?"

"That's why I'm here to ask you to retrieve it!" Reever exclaimed.

"That's great!" Lavi smiled, like a child who had received sweets.

Lavi prepared to move towards Reever before a grip on his arm stopped him. He turned his head to find himself looking into a pair of concerned silvery-grey eyes.

"I'll come along as well," the white-haired requested, looking into the older boy's emerald-green eye.

Lavi paused before agreeing, "Alright. I don't mind waiting awhile for you to finish. Judging by how gluttony you are, I guess a second's enough!" Lavi teased and in turn, received a punch in his face.
