Ok, this is a short little series of drabbles I write to celebrate Lou Fa's Birthday with some Lou FaXAllen fluff with you in the Lou FAllen Week I host. I hope you'll like it.

Theme 1: Flowers

Lou Fa let out a long sigh and stretched her small body as she finally finished her workload for the night. As usual she and the other apprentices had to do overtime, there was no time to waste during the Holy War. Even though, the Asian Branch was much bigger than the European, the number of Scientist was still very few, only the best of the bests were allowed to enter the Black Order.

She still remember the day she was accepted, in fact as the only girl in that year she triumphed the class, she received many dirty looks from the guys who didn't get admitted. It didn't really matter to her, she knew she got where she was because she worked hard. Even though, she was talented, her family didn't support the idea that she wanted to learn, they wanted her to take over the family business as a florist.

However that option was ripped away from her when her home was attacked by Akuma, destroying everything, her family and their precious exotic flowers crumbled to ashes from the Akuma virus, it was a pure miracle that Lou Fa herself survived.

After that her only chance of sustaining herself was to join the Order and offer her brain and mental capabilities to the Catholic Church, this was the only way she could fight. An incredibly meagre offer compared to the Exorcists. Despite it being a necessity, she willingly became a member, she wasn't dragged away by force like many of them.

But even those who joined by their own choice have given a great sacrifice. Lou Fa couldn't help but think of a particular Apostle of god. She still remembered the day she met that young boy, who left the infirmary after having receiving a normally mortal wound, yet survived. He was covered in scrapes and bruises yet he beamed at them with an angelic smile. She never would have thought that she'd crush on a boy 3 years younger than him, and especially not this hard. But how could she not love such a pure hearted person?

She sighed again as she stood up from her seat and arranged the documents back to their place, then headed for her room. She was so tired she didn't even feel like eating.

"Miss Lou Fa!"

Abruptly, all exhaustion left her upon hearing that familiar voice. Her heart rate picked up as she turned around to face her-not-so-secret crush, Allen Walker with Timcanpy nestled in his stunning white hair and a handsome blond man in his footsteps.

"Mister Walker?" She breathed, unable to believe that he was here so late - but then again, in Europe it was still daytime.

"Miss Lou Fa, great, I was searching for you!" Allen greeted, flashing her a warm smile. "I'm glad I could still find you, I wanted to meet you."

Lou Fa felt her knees go weak at his kind words. He wanted to see her. He came for her. "Really?"

"Yes, I know that your Birthday is a few days ahead, but I have no idea when will we see each other next time." He replied, flushing a bit nervously. "So Happy Early Birthday!" Allen smiled as he presented a beautiful bouquet of white lilies.

White lilies symbolize virginity, fertility, purity as well as majesty. It's also a flower that says - "it's heavenly to be with you".

Lou Fa forgot how to breathe for a second as she remembered her mother's words.

It's heavenly to be with you.

Lou Fa didn't know whether Allen realised her attraction towards him, but she did know that even if he did he probably wouldn't return her affections. He was an incredibly caring person, who wouldn't put her in danger by letting her too close.

She could have stared at him for the rest of her life, but she realised that Allen was waiting for her to take it. She forced her pleasantly numb body to move, quickly reaching out and took her present with trembling hands. She glanced back, cheeks still burning as she took in the sight of her love, he looked even more beautiful if possible. "The-these are for me?"

"Of course. When I saw them, they reminded me of you. You have hair ties with similar white flowers, don't you? Ah, you're even wearing them right now."

"Y-yes, you are correct." She stuttered, still not over that Allen Walker came to give her a present, not to mention remember such fickle detail. "Thank you, Mister Walker."

"Of course, it's the least I can do." He snickered. "You helped me a lot when I was in need, I'm grateful."

"B-but of course, that's my job." She replied, compared to what he did daily that was really nothing!

Allen shook his head. "Even so, I greatly appreciate it."

His beautiful silver eyes were gleaming with love for her, just like he loves everyone around him, but Lou Fa pretended that she had his heart. It was a beautiful moment… until an ominous voice spoke up from behind. "Now kiss."

Lou Fa screamed seeing a red-head exorcist pop up out of thin air, who gasped in pain when Allen reflexively elbowed him in the gut. "Damn it, Beansprout don't make a habit out of this."

"And I asked you not to sneak up on me, because you might startle me." Allen sighed irate, then turned to Lou Fa with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry about Lavi, he tends to pull pranks on people like this."

For the first time, the blond man spoke up. "Walker, your partner for the mission arrived, we're leaving."

"Hold on, Two Spots, Allen has yet to kiss the lady goodbye." The Bookman Junior cut him off, wagging his eyebrows suggestively.

Allen refrained from rolling his eyes. "Lavi, it's horribly disrespectful to-"

"Blah blah blah blah, just kiss her on the cheek, it's a good luck charm, heaven knows ya need it." Lavi insisted.

Allen sighed knowing that resistance was futile, Lavi would continue to nag him all day. If not week. He glanced at Lou Fa seeking affirmation. Cheeks aflame, Lou Fa nodded. Allen flashed her a reassuring smile as he slowly dove in to peck her cheek.

Fiery red blush exploded on Lou Fa as she buried her face in the white lilies. Allen's hearty chuckle caressed her soul. "See you later, Miss Lou Fa. Take care."

Lou Fa still didn't raise her face from the flowers as she heard Allen shuffle away and Lavi chuckle at their display, she failed to hear what the red haired Exorcist told Allen over the noise of her rapidly beating heart. Her whole body felt whoozy from the heat radiating from her cheeks, butterflies in her stomach. She lowered the bouquet a little to freely watch his strong back. He'd grown so much… Who knows when would be the next time she'd meet him? Despite herself, Lou Fa found herself call out to him. "Mister Walker!"

Hearing his name, Allen halted and turned back with a questioning gaze.

She felt her blush intensify. "You too take care, please."

The Exorcist blinked in surprise, then gave her a warm smile that left her fluttery. "Of course. See you soon, Miss Lou Fa." With that he waved at her and let the Ark swallow him as he stepped past the gate.

Lou Fa stared at the milky coloured door for a few seconds, before squealing in delight and rushing back to her room. Her mind replayed Allen's smiles over and over as she searched for a vase, fortunately it was the perfect size. She changed into her nightwear while the tap water filled the container, then placed the flowers within it carefully. It was perfect.

A yawn reminded her just how tired she was. She took off her glasses and placed it on the nightstand, right next to the beautiful lilies. She lazily blinked, sleep heavily weighing down on her, but the thought of Allen Walker lifted her spirits. Eventually, the mess in her head quieted down and she slipped into unconsciousness with a smile on her face.

This was fun. Lou Fa's such a cute girl, I'm so glad that she still trusts Allen when he's accused with such heavy crimes. I'm curious to see her in canon too.

See you next time.
