The Cold – Chapter 1
It was a cold sunny day. The sun was shining yet half vanish between the white rare clouds. The sky was blue like a sunny day asks. The trees rarely swing and the birds actually could be heard. It was a quiet day in the Black Order, because thanks God, Komui was out on a reunion on the Asian branch. 12 years old Kanda was lay in the middle of the green gardens grass, with his long hair all over it, reading a book about "100 ways to search for peace in desperate moments", pleasuring the quietness of his bless solitude.
Kanda's thoughts:
How remarkable don't have a single idiot soul to annoying me (smirk mode). I really don't understand how people can be so noisy over small things (in his case, "small things" means pretty much everything). Why did Jery freak out like a girl who lost her earrings just because I didn't want to eat his new weird full of mayonnaise dish? He ruined my morning: I wish he wasn't the only person who knows how to cook decent soba, so I could slide hem off without lose my meal guarantee (dark mode with a twist eye brown). Maybe I should hide here more often: no one comes outside to have a walk with this cold.
Was when his beloved moment of glorious intimacy runs away like Lavi run of Mugen when his ears turn out red of angry with a certain singsong voice:
- Kaaaaandaaaaaa-kuuuuuuunnnnnnn! – 10 years old Lenalee was running in his direction with a big smile on her doll happy face.
Kanda try to take his angry face for not ruin more his day, and without stop reading he did simple answer on the calmest form he could before she reach him:
- Dooooonnnnnn'ttttt caaaaaaaalllllll meeeeeee thaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttt! – trying to imitate Lenalee's singsong voice just to make fun of her.
- Aaaaaalriiiiiiiiight! Don't worry be happy! – she change the tone of the last sentence to look few lazy and more sunny while sitting behind kanda, producing a dark shadow over him. Was when she smile in pure surprise, noticing kanda's lose hair over the grass - Kanda why did you lose your hair?
- It's my hair. What I do with hem it's my own problem. Now get out of there, you blocking my light. Move.
- Oh! Sorry. – Her face change immediately to his unpleasant words but quick move aside.
- How did you found me?
- I always goanna found you kanda, wherever you are, you let me or not. – She said with a tender smile and a tender look at him.
Kanda's face blush a little to this. He didn't know why, but every time she broke their distance with soft words, he always felt a huge embarrassment. His heart start to beat faster and the sweat on his forehead never helped. He couldn't resist looking at her in the corner of his eye.
- Che. Whatever.
- Jery is a mess because of you. – She report whit a certainly sadness – He don't have strength not even to make me a cupcake.
- Good, it means you don't eat that crap and I sleep without listen your sugar sickness.
- Don't be so bad! You should ask him apologies.
- You just want your cupcake.
- Don't be such a moron (puppy face). I can be without my cupcake, but you goanna be without your loved soba.
Now "that's" brought him to the cruel reality. If Jery was the only one who knew make decent soba and no one could replace him and if he was down and because he was down he couldn't cook, that means he's off, and if he's off that means others cooking and others cooking means disgusting food, and disgusting food means no soba! And Jery's off was usually pretty long. Now kanda's insides were in conflict.
- Kanda, are you alright? Your face is purple!
- I'm fine (sick mode).
- So you goanna ask him apologies (hopeful face)?
He clean his throat before face the world's injustice, and with a very indignity face and a very small whisper e said:
- Later... – The world was really unfair: Jery was the one who wanted to kill him with a mountain of mayonnaise and he was the one who have to humiliate himself for a small plate of food like a dog. It was so damn obvious than he was the victim and not Jery! Was because of small things like this than the world never grow up.
- What? I didn't understand?
- I said... later... – With a very low voice yet.
- What? Talk louder.
- I said later! – This time he said it in his normal voice.
- Good! But you don't need to feel so in ignited! – Then she closed her eyes laying next to him in a tired move and whisper. – So proud is my Kanda...
HER KANDA! This time he did blushed very, very hard. His heart was racing in a stupid way. Where did she want get with that? She was seeing too much "Romeo and Juliet" movies. Thinking well, he catch her last week watching "My fair Lady" Maybe she was imagining or dreaming with those scenes too much. He took a mental note to listen her sleep talk again when she hugs him during the night while sleeping .
Flashback:
It was midnight already, and Kanda was going to his room after a long extra training. But when he gets to the lounge rooms he saw a tv light. Strange: who at those hours of the night could be watching tv? Maybe general Tiedoll: he used to see movies until morning sometimes, studying the landscapes while eating cookies and hot milk – disgusting scene by the way. Kanda was curious to see who it was, but the fear of Tiedoll invite him to spend some time with "his father" was invading his mind. But he didn't had fear of anything so he would see who it was.
While directing himself to the door, he start listening a song. Was a kind of those songs who come in musical theatres. Was when he saw Lenalee watching My Fair Lady like a total obsessive fan while eating cookies. The only light was coming from the tv. She was singing along with the characters:
Words!
Words! Words! I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day through;
First from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?
Don't talk of stars Burning above; If you're in love,
Show me! Tell me no dreams
Filled with desire. If you're on fire,
Show me! Here we are together in the middle of the night!
Don't talk of spring! Just hold me tight!
Anyone who's ever been in love'll tell you that
This is no time for a chat! Haven't your lips
Longed for my touch? Don't say how much,
Show me! Show me! Don't talk of love lasting through time.
Make me no undying vow. Show me now!
Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme!
Don't waste my time, Show me!
Don't talk of June, Don't talk of fall!
Don't talk at all! Show me!
Never do I ever want to hear another word.
There isn't one I haven't heard.
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream;
Say one more word and I'll scream!
Haven't your arms Hungered for mine?
Please don't "expl'ine," Show me! Show me!
Don't wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow,
Show me now!
- Lena… - He clean his troat louder for she could hear. – He blushed a little for the lyrics. Why in heaven and hell she would know those lyrics so well.
- Kanda! what... what... – She was blushing so hard than not even the darkness could hide it. She immediately turn off the tv. – What are you doing here?... – She was absolute nervous, shaking from it.
- Shouldn't be me asking you that! - He was a little nervous too. For some reason, those lyrics call his attention. – What are you doing up at this hour?
- You see... I couldn't sleep, so I go looking for you, but you weren't in your room, so was when I saw you training. I didn't want to disturb you, so I went see a movie while waiting for you. – She start laughing nervously.
- A movie... I see... – He was doing a very weird face. – Let's go then, before gets more lately. – He didn't even think on the fact that she wanted to sleep with him again. He was still occupied with the song reveal.
Before they reach the room, Lenalee asked him behind him:
- Kanda?
- Hum?
- For how much time you were in the lounge room before I note your presence?
- I was finished to get there. Don't worry, I'll pretend than I never saw anything. - The last part he thought to himself.
Later that night:
Kanda was still awake thinking on the song. She was too young to sing those songs. Suddenly, Lenalee hugged him tightly from the back with a singsong voice, and a very childish smile:
- Show me now, Kanda...Show me... – She was in sleep talk mode again.
Kanda was in a shock state. His eyes wide open. When he turn to her side to wake her up, their lips almost meet, with his move. Only half of an inch was dividing them. She was still sleeping – thanks God – but Kanda didn't sleep for the next three nights. The images of those soft pink lips didn't want to get out of his head while the same screaming: she's just a kid, she's just a kid. Don't have that kind of thoughts kanda, she's just a kid.
End of the flashback.
Kanda sigh deeply to his thoughts. Maybe Lenalee was only starting a pre- teenage fase. Then he finally looked to Lenalee finding her staring at him.
- Did you finally wake up of you dream world, sleeping beauty?
- I wasn't dreaming and don't EVER call me that!
- Alright, but whatever you're thinking, was making you a very happy timid face.
Kanda froze. Lenalee could talk while sleeping, but if he dream while awake, then things could not end very well, especially if Komui discover about it.
- Kanda? Do you feel this?
- This what?
- This drops. Oh my God, I think than is starting to rain! Is better we get out of here quick. – She got up in a jump.
Kanda looked up, and dark clouds were actually coming quickly. Suddenly a strong thunderstorm began, and start raining like was no tomorrow. In a minute the green grass was got covered with mud, the sky was dark and the trees were swinging abruptly. Lenalee started to run on the Order direction (they were in the middle of the down gardens, so they needed to walk a good time until reach the tower). Yet Kanda just walked normally like it was nothing,
- Kanda what're you doing? Do you want to get sick or what? Walk faster!
- I'm not going to walk faster because of a small innocent rain!
- Do you call THIS innocent? You goanna catch a cold!
- No I will not! Something like this it doesn't affect me! I'm strong enough trough this!
- Not be such a moron! Is raining like hell, and it's cold, walk faster!
- I already said no! I'm not goanna change my habits because you're afraid to get wet!
Lenalee made an angry cute cookie face, and walked back to Kanda, who was some good meters far from her. When she reached him, she just walked by his side along with is rhythm.
- Fine! If you want to catch a cold, I will catch one too!
- Che! Whatever! – He didn't understand why she always acted with him like it was with her. If he wanted to catch a cold, it was his problem, not hers (he didn't want to catch a cold, but he was strong enough to get the rain, at least, was what his pride said to him). But alright, if she wanted to play the dumb girl, she played. She could be so childish sometimes.
When they finally reached the tower, they were all wet. She was shaking from the cold, but he was acting like nothing happen. They went to their rooms to change clothes after listen a reprimand from Matron. Then a few seconds after he finished changing a nock in his door come out. It was Lenalee.
- Did you finish changing already?
- Yes, why? – He was in a rude mode by now.
- Come with me then. – She grab him by his wrist and take him away from his room.
- What? Wait! Where are you taking me?
- To drink a tea, of course. Is the least you can do four health.
- I already said than I'm fine! I'm not going to get sick!
- Whatever. I don't want to listen your stubbornness. I'm worried about you, and if you don't care about your health, I do. And much.
Silence come after that small confession. Both looked away from each other and start walking to the kitchen. She didn't get off of his wrist, but he didn't reply either.
- Do you think what you goanna say to him?
- Say what to who?
- To Jery, of course! You said than you goanna ask him apologies.
- I said that?
- Don't even try to escape, Kanda! You said you ask!
- Really? I really don't remember anything! (escape mode)
- Kanda!Jery is the only one who know how to do good tea, and if you don't ask him apologies, he will not make it!
- I don't even said I wanted a tea. You the only one who is pushing me for it.
Lenalee grab him by his arm abruptly, and after a long way of "wait", "I don't will ask" and "get of me", they finally reach the kitchen. Jery was still crying like a girl in a dark corner of the kitchen, with his hands covering his face.
- Is he still crying? The issue happen 11 hours ago already!
- You're wanted what? You hurt is fillings deeply.
- Yeah, of course! And were mines when he put that murdering plate full of mayonnaise of in front of me?
- He just wanted you to experiment new things!
- Well, If I would eat that "new thing", I was singing along with the angels, and playing harp with white wings on my back by now.
- Harp and white wings don't suit you, kanda, for not to say than your sing voice is horrible. You scare the poor little angels with it. And after what you did to him, I doubt a little than the angels let you in on heaven.
- Thanks for share the "angelic" vision you have of me.
- You welcome. Now come. She grab him once more by the arm, and run in Jery's dirction. – Jery?
- ... Hum?... I'm sorry, Lena-chan, but your cupcake goanna stay for other day. I'm sorry...
- I don't come about that. I come because Kanda have something to say to you, it isn't it, Kanda?
- Hum... – He was in a rude mode again.
- So... say it... – Lenalee whispered in is ear.
- ...
- Kanda?
- ...
- Kanda, say it or it will be no soba for the next week.
- I wanted to ask you apologies for denied your new murde... your new full of mayonnaise dish. – The soba vision brought him back to the cruel reality.
- Really! – Jery was surprise by his action.
- Hum...
- So, do you forgive him?
- Of course I forgive you! – Jery got up like one of those surprise boxes, and hug Kanda tightly.
- Hey! What's this! Get off of me! Leave me! What's the meaning of this! Get off!
- You're so cute Kanda-kun! Was so sweet of you to come here to ask me apologies. Oh dear... You're really a little candy!
- Don't dare to call me that again! How dare you! Get off!
Lenalee could stop herself to laugh. She was laughing so much, than she even fall on the bare floor.
- Hey! Don't laugh Lenalee! Take out of here, now! Get off Jery, what do you thing I am?
- You're the most handsome cute little thing I ever saw!
Lenalee calm herself and push jery's sleeve.
- What is it sweetheart?
- Can you make us a tea? It start raining outside, and we catch some of it.
- Of course I can! I will make it with all my heart! – He get off of Kanda after pet him twice, with a very happy big smile on his face!
- Hey, don't pet me!
- It was that difficult? A single apologies can change a person lifestyle.
- Whatever... I'm going out of here now.
- Wait! You have to drink the tea first! Or do you want to get a cold? If you don't stay by yourself I force you to.
- "Show me"... – Lenalee face got red like that night.
Silence remained between them like they were statues for a long time.
- You said you've finished getting there! Don't tell me than you saw... OH MY GOD! Kanda! – She was really embarrassed, exploding for it.
- Che. As I said... I'm not going to get any cold anyway...
