Kanda watched as two guards dragged Lavi in, and plopped him in the seat of front of the plexi-glass window, it would be his first time seeing Lavi since he left two years ago after the incident. Kanda picked up the phone and stared at Lavi's emerald eyes waiting on him to pick the receiving end.

"I don't see why you even bother to pick that thing up Kanda, they're gonna hear us either way." Lavi said matter of factly and Kanda, now slightly embarrassed, hung the phone and regained his normal stoic composure.

The silence between the two thickened before Lavi spoke up again, "Well I know you didn't come here to stare at my pretty face, Yuu. So go ahead and ask."

"Why'd you do it Lavi?" Kanda questioned, edging forward a little on the small counter in front of the glass.

"Because I had to." Lavi replied shortly.

Kanda shook his head, "No, that's not good enough for me. You're sitting behind bars for something you didn't do, for something that—"

"That should be blamed entirely on him?" Lavi cut in. "Did you really want him in here?"

"No." Kanda said losing a fight from his voice.

"Then what, Kanda, you wanna trade places with me?" Lavi paused and looked into Kanda's eyes and as dark and as controlled as they were he could see straight Kanda like an opened book. "You feel guilty, don't cha?"

"No!" Kanda said getting defensive, "I just feel like the wrong person is behind these bars."

"That's guilt Kanda, but tell me one thing, what would you or him being in jail change?"

Lavi watched Kanda as he clenched his teeth and remained silent, "That's right Kanda, it changes nothing." Lavi motioned to guards and they came and unchained him from the chair.

As Kanda watched him leave he stood up himself, "Hey! Can you at least tell me one thing?"

The guards stopped tugging at Lavi long enough for him to answer, "What?"

"Where is he? " Kanda asked, and then added quietly, "I miss him."

"You've only been gone two years Kanda things haven't changed; he's at the last place you left him." Lavi responded and disappeared behind the steel door.
