Confession: Part 2

Lenalee has to be around her somewhere; she always delivers coffee to the people here. Allen was running around the Headquarters, looking everywhere for Lenalee.

I just really hope that Komui isn't with her… Well, as the saying goes, speak of the devil and he shall appear. As Allen rounded a corner, he ran headlong into the Head himself. In addition to knocking Komui over, he also sent a tray of coffee mugs flying, spilling the contents all over poor Komui. Allen just kept running, just shouting:

"Sorry Komui!" This was because that was all he had the guts to do, face it, he's had a decent bit of Komui induced trauma. Allen wasn't even caring to look behind him to see if he was following him. The scientist was shouting though.

"Allen Walker, get back here!" Allen didn't even hear him; because one; he had rounded another corner, and two; he was too focused on finding Lenalee.

I just want to tell her how I feel. Well, Lady Luck must have been in a romantic mood today, since Lenalee had turned the same corner and the two crashed into each other.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Lenalee!"

"No, it's alright Allen, I wasn't paying attention." Both of them were blushing brilliant crimson. The slightly awkward and tangible silence came in right on cue. A quick thought then hit Allen.

"Um, don't you have to deliver coffee to your brother and-"

"No, not today. Komui gave me the day off." Allen was surprised, as well as happy for Lenalee.

"Really?" She smiled, sort of a sad smile.

"Yes, but I'm going to be back to helping out tomorrow." He wasn't as happy about hearing that.

She's always working, never taking a moment for herself. She deserves better then this.

"Is something wrong Allen?" Allen's face turned red in embarrassment.

"N-no! Nothing's wrong Lenalee." The silence intruded again.

Come on, I can say it, I can say it…

"Um, Lenalee, can I tell you something?" The Chinese exorcist nodded.

"Of course, you can tell me anything." Allen tried to bring up the courage, but that shred of courage was torn away as he heard Komui shouting for him, as well as various swearwords.

"Er, can I tell you somewhere else?" Somewhere where Komui isn't lurking? He added silently in his head. Lenalee blushed a little more, her crimson face turning burgundy.

"Sure, I know a good place." Grabbing Allen's one hand, she began pulling him in the direction of which she came. A few turns later, and the two exorcists found themselves in a desolate corridor, a dark, lifeless hall with no one around to bother them.

"So, what is it you wanted to tell me?" Allen could hear his heart beating loudly in his chest, almost drowning out all other sounds for him.

Just tell her, I can do this, I can do this! Allen inhaled quickly, trying to calm himself before possibly making a huge mistake. He kept his hand on Lenalee's, not wanting to let go of it.

"Lenalee, I feel…different around you. I can't really explain it." Lenalee put her other hand over Allen's, her soft grasp different then any other he had felt.

"Is it a good feeling?" Allen's face took on a pink tint; he was almost too embarrassed to answer her.

"Yes…I feel whole around you. If I'm not around you, I feel empty, almost dead. Lenalee, I think I love-" He never got a chance to finish since she had placed her lips on his, a first kiss for both of them. He was faintly aware of her arms wrapping themselves around his neck, and her fingers working their way into his hair. He was enjoying the feel of her slim form pressed up against him, and her soft lips against his. He had never felt this feeling before, the ecstasy of being alone with your other. All Allen knew was that this feeling was the greatest feeling of his life.

Drakon: Why did I do this? Oh yeah, because I was listening to too much sap. Oh yeah, forgot to disclaim last chapter. I obviously don't own D. Gray-man, because there aren't cute moments in it like this...excuse me while I go barf.
