A/N: Inspired by The Loony Toons Show. Just the fact that they share a house (And I still don't know why…) It's amazing nonetheless. They make me think of Kanda and Allen, because for some reason everything makes me think of DGM.

Full Summary: Allen lives by himself and it's high time he got himself a roommate because the expenses are killing his pockets. He has several options to consider. Lavi can't go because he has to stay with his grandpa; Lenalee can't because Komui would kill him and never allow it. Kanda is sick of being under Tiedoll's roof and wants to move out. He doesn't totally hate Lavi kinda, maybe, so when he thinks he's moving in with Lavi and signing the contracts he doesn't second guess; except he's just been tricked and ends up with Allen as a roommate. None are too happy, but what can they do but just live with it?

Just Live With It

Chapter 1:

The set-up

Allen looked at all the bills on the floor in front of him and then turned to sift through the contents of his wallet. He finally glanced the numbers added together to make the total that displayed on his scientific calculator. For all it's worth, it could not give him a concoction that would make him money to pay all his bills.

He let loose a huge exasperated sigh and fell forward with his arms stretched in front of him on the living room table. He needed some way to keep debts away…or at least keep them to a minimum…or at least not any bigger than they were already. Being in college didn't allow him much time to have as many jobs as he wanted if he wanted to keep his grades up.

Allen Walker had few options to consider. He could turn into a thief and steal the money, but no he just had to have morals and right upbringing and all that jazz. Next up was swindling people by cheating in cards to take their hard earned money; his second upbringing made that necessary for survival. Though that would not be able to support him fully unless he upped the anti and it would only bring about unnecessary problems. Next was disappearing, but those debts seemed to strangely exist in countries even he had not been in. And maybe the friends he made were important enough to keep him around. The only other option he had, or at least the last one that he could think of in the moment, was getting a roommate; someone to help foot the bill and take some of the weight off of his shoulders so it would be one less thing to worry about. Though, having a roommate brought upon new problems of its own.

Allen needed someone that he trusted and that was reliable and would not be needed to be hunted down just to get payment; so the best option was to go with someone that he knew. Though the people he seemed to know were more wacky than anything else. He trusted them sure…but how reliable were they.

The first person that came to his mind was one Lenalee Lee. She would fit every expectation that he could possibly think of. He saw her as an older sister and his best female friend. She was the sweetest person he knew but with all that goodness there had to be something of a downfall. Sadly, it was in the form of her older brother Komui Lee; he was – to put it simply- crazy or maniacal or maybe straight-up insane…. So there wasn't a word to put it simply, but Komui was an overprotective lunatic that would seek to destroy all that even thought of his 'precious' sister in a certain way. Therefore, living with the girl was not an option if he valued his life, and he did… he valued it a lot.

The next name that popped into his mind, he decided to give them a ring.

/Huuullooo~/

"'ello Lavi."

/What's up, Al?/

"I'm looking for a roommate~ Are you looking for a room?"

Allen heard Lavi laugh out on the other end of the line and had to pull away the receiver. He felt his lips go down into a frown and placed the phone back to his ear when he heard his friend calm down.

/Sorry Al that sounded like a really bad pick up line. Are you hitting on me buddy?/

Allen's eyes widened and he looked scandalized, but of course Lavi could not see that. "No! I am not hitting on you."

Laughter filled his ears again, /I kid. I kid. Calm down, buddy. So what's this of a roommate?/

Honestly, Allen was disheartened with the conversation already, but decided to go on anyway.

"I need one. I think it would be best to meet up over a cup of tea and discuss."

Allen looked at the phone after a few seconds of silence. There was no dial tone, so his friend hadn't hung up had he? "La-"

/Formalities Al; drop 'em./

"Ah, sorry, habit. So coffee?"

He heard his friend laugh out again, /Sure, sure. But later ya? I'm meeting up with Yuu in a few-/ Allen heard Lavi go silent again and instead the quiet was invaded by loud, sharp sporadic jolts, /Oh~ and by the sounds of it, he's already here./

"Tell the-"

/Catch ya later Al./

"Oh…uh, um, ok." Allen stammered out his reply, but the busy signal on the line indicated that Lavi had indeed hung up. "Tell the bloke hi," Allen sighed. He could hear the heavy sarcasm in his own tone. Kanda…he was the last addition to their "close"group of friends. The two of them, more like…existed around each other; Lavi and Lenalee kept the balance. Though, sometimes Allen had to wonder how they even had Kanda as a 'dear friend.'

Kanda was a bastard to put it simply, and that was using nicer terms. Allen and the older man never seemed to get along. They just had to be in the same vicinity and sparks would fly. Of course Allen was willing to admit that that was all Kanda's fault because Allen tried...tried real hard to get along with the bloke to no avail... Okay...maybe he didn't try as hard as he could, but Kanda ruined that on their first meeting.

Allen let loose a huge exasperated sigh and shook his head. He was already worked up over all the bills in front of his face and now thinking about Kanda was giving him a migraine. A nice hot shower should sooth his problems and take his mind off of things.

-x-x-x-

"So Yuu, how are you doing?"

"Don't call me that, Usagi." Kanda seethed through gritted teeth as he held the steering wheel in a white-knuckled grip.

Lavi chuckled nervously, "I think studies showed it was bad to drive while angry... it's bad to do anything angry."

Kanda che'd and swerved into a parking space that it seemed he was contending for as the loser got out of their own vehicle behind him and approached Kanda's.

Lavi groaned and sank a bit in his seat as Kanda got out of the driver's side. Lavi gazed through the rear-view mirror as the argument quickly escalated. The other man was hulking with tattoos on his forehead and cheeks and he towered over Kanda's 5'11'' frame. The dispute became more heated before Lavi got out of the car to go help his friend...or at least the guy from being killed by his friend.

"Yuu!"

Lavi wrestled Kanda's hand from around the other's neck. He had to admit that Kanda's brute strength never ceased to amaze him as he held the bulky bald man at least a few inches off the ground. Kanda's hand contracted a bit before he finally let go and allowed the man to fall unceremoniously onto the hard cement floor.

Lavi gazed at the large man, a smile on his lips but his eyes were nonchalant, "I kno parking is serious business ya, but I suggest ya find another space."

Though it would clearly not be Kanda-like if said man didn't utter the last words, "Next time you see me, run."

The guy hurried back to his own car and sped off to some unknown destination.

Lavi ran long nimble fingers through his strategically messy hair and sighed. He turned to Kanda but the older of the two was already making his way to the cafe they were parked behind.

Lavi walked behind Kanda leisurely and studied him until they found themselves in a cozy booth at the back of the cafe.

"Ok Yuu-"

"Don't call me that."

"-I've known Yuu for a long time and Yuu's usually an ass but this is like trying to win the championship. What's up?"

Kanda's eyes narrowed to slits and he continued to glare at an unfazed Lavi before looking off to the side.

"I need to move out before I kill someone," Kanda exhaled, his breath shaky, as he turned his attention back to the red head and folded his arms.

"Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but-" Lavi started though the small juvenile smile locked in place on his lips said otherwise, "-you always want to kill people. So ya say..."

Kanda quirked an eyebrow and forced himself not to roll his eyes. "It's that fu-"

"Safety version."

"-Choaji."

Kanda's eyes narrowed into a glare at Lavi's tactful interjection. He wanted to wipe off the smile that didn't seem to want to leave Lavi's lips anytime soon.

A waiter came over to take their orders to which Lavi got a steak burger and fries with some cola while Kanda just got green tea. Lavi resumed their conversation when the other man left, "What did lovely Choaji do this time?"

"He broke Mugen with his fat ass."

Lavi's smirk grew as he leant forward in his seat looking more eager than he should, "literally?"

Kanda's scowl filled with disgust, "no."

"Well anyway, Yuu-"

"Don't call me that."

"Let's just eat and celebrate… new living arrangements."

"What living arrangements?"

"You were serious about moving right."

"Hell yeah, before that old man decides he needs to shelter the animals of the forest."

Lavi stared blankly at his friend, "Well, seems you're in luck 'cause I'm looking for a roommate…are you looking for a room~?"

Kanda's disgust-filled scowl came back with a vengeance, "Are you hitting on me?"

"That's what I said!"

Kanda deadpanned, "what…"

Lavi settled back into his seat, "I was looking into new housing arrangements too."

"Are you shitting me?"

"…no. I was just thinkin' 'bout it before you tried bashin' in my front door actually."

"You're so damn shady, rabbit," Kanda retorted offhandedly as he looked at Lavi's ever-growing smile; his eyes spacey.

"hehe, no worries Yuu, I'll get back to ya on it."

A lot of people liked to think of Kanda Yuu as a little on the dim side. In fact the stupid moyashi had flat out told him in his equally stupid British accent that he was, "not the brightest crayon in the box." But even if he wasn't the most intellectual, he was still smart and he knew people even if he didn't want to. And Bookman had one too many of his acupuncture needles up his ass to let his whipping boy roam free in his own devices, "Bookman is going to let you move out?"

"Just think, no more broken Mugen. How did that happen anyway?"

Lavi blinked and readied himself for the tale he was about to hear.

"che, don't get me started." But started he did as Kanda spitefully told about the misadventures of Choaji. He even added some very colourful killing methods as Lavi listened because even though Kanda was smart, Lavi was smarter than them all. He leant back and could just see as everything unfolded.
