A/N: The first chapter of "Reever Sucks At Poker" is up now if you're interested.
A/N 2: I know it's a little confusing, but Kanda will end up a seme.
Utter pandemonium erupted.
Reever and Allen grabbed Kanda, trying to keep him from slaughtering Lavi, while Komui chuckled in amusement.
Kanda quickly quieted when he realized that the Moyashi was almost flush against him, arms wrapped around his waist (while Reever was holding his arms).
****
Lavi watched the emotions flit across Yu's face with great amusement and curiosity; first anger, then shock, followed by embarrassment and morbid fascination.
As soon as the killing intent had lessened Reever has released Kanda's arms, but Allen was lost in his own little world.
"Moyashi, you can let go now," Kanda said with a wry sort of gruffness.
"Huh? Oh! Sorry!" Allen blushed and reluctantly disentangled himself.
****
Allen was pouting, but only on the inside. He wished he could've held on for a little longer. Kanda was warm and he smelled nice, plus his hair had been tickling his cheek and it was even softer than it looked.
And for once, he hadn't been on the receiving end on the death threat, which was a small miracle.
****
It took some work, but Lavi convinced everyone to stay and play. How? Well he offered a cash prize, and they all agreed to stop at underwear.
Allen wanted the money, and he wanted to see Kanda (mostly naked).
Reever and the supervisor had their own reasons for staying and poor Kanda didn't know about Allen's poker skills, so he decided to stay as well.
****
Lavi flashed a mischievous grin and started dealing the cards.
"You aren't playing?"
"Nope, someone has to deal."
They were playing the half-and-half way (That is every hand two people lose, the other two are spared, and the dealer handles the winnings. It's a lot more fair and fun that way).
The first hand went predictably, Kanda lost Mugen and Reever lost his tie while Allen and (surprisingly) Komui stayed fully clothed.
*****
By the 4th hand Kanda had lost his shirt, Reever had just given up his vest, Komui was removing his supervisor's jacket, and Allen … was untouched of course.
In the 6th hand Kanda had to give up his hair tie.
*****
Allen couldn't stop staring.
Yeah he'd seen Kanda shirtless before, but this time there was no blood or injury involved. The mark on his chest was fascinating.
Somehow, the was the samurai's hair spilled down around him, a soft waterfall in contrast with his stark face, made him seem even more manly.
Allen was getting a little warm, so he willingly 'gave up' his jacket in the next round.
*****
The stupid rabbit was right, Moyashi was a baby panda, an evil and sexy baby panda.
Kanda should have been embarrassed by his lack of poker skills, but it was sort of nice to spend time with Allen in a non-annoying capacity (not that he'd ever admit it).
Though Kanda was a bit upset that he was half naked and that damned, infuriating Moyashi was still clothed.
It was getting rather warm and Kanda found his gaze drawn to the damp hair clinging to the nape of Allen's neck.
It had only a little while since the move, so of course random deserted rooms weren't equipped with things like climate control. Normally the stone walls would keep a room relatively cool, but five people can warm up a tiny room quickly, especially if four of the five are busy drooling.
*****
Komui was surprisingly good at poker; he'd only lost his shirt. Reever, on the other hand was surprisingly bad, but he'd started with more clothing than the rest of them, so he wasn't fairing too badly.
Kanda noticed the predatory looks that Komui was sending Reever. He wondered why he'd never noticed it before, and actually found himself sympathizing with Komui's pain (if only a tiny bit). He shook himself trying to get rid of that eerie feeling.
****
The game continued on, until Kanda, Reever and Komui were left in just their pants (and presumably underwear).
Allen on the other hand was fully clothed (minus the jacket).
Lavi who had been monitoring the atmosphere, declared that the next hand would be the last, after all, at least one person was going to be 80 to 90% naked.
The hand was dealt and, wouldn't you know it, Kanda and Reever lost.
****
Reever dropped his pants, exposing his blue boxers, and quickly pulled them back up.
****
Kanda stood up and turned around, he took off his pants, praying that no one saw his straining erection. They didn't, Lavi was laughing too hard, Komui wasn't even looking his way, and Reever had his own embarrassment to deal with.
Allen's jaw had dropped open and he was desperately trying to refrain from drooling. He'd imagined Kanda wholly or partially naked before (hell, he might be adorable but he was still a teenage boy) but he'd never factored black silk boxers into the equation. The way they clung to Kanda's ass was… damn.
Unfortunately the samurai glanced over his shoulder and saw the was that Allen was staring at him.
"Moyashi! What the fuck are you looking at?"
Allen gulped. Crap he'd been caught! He was just lucky that Mugen was out of reach.
It was time to get out of there. He fled the scene.
Kanda pulled his pants up, grabbed his clothes (and Mugen) and went after him.
*****
Some poor finder was treated to seeing a sweaty Allen being pursued by a half naked, un-ponytailed Kanda, who was attempting to get dressed and storm down the hallway at the same time.
Clearly they'd had a lover's spat, or something. Man, the others weren't going to believe this!
*****
It took a while but Kanda finally managed to corner Allen.
"Moyashi, I asked you a question. What the fuck were you staring at?"
Allen was trying to avoid staring at Kanda's chest (the shirt was back on, but had been left unbuttoned). He swallowed hard.
The bob of Allen's Adam's apple did Kanda in. He growled and pinned the younger boy against a wall.
A/N: One more chapter to go! Any suggestions would be helpful. I've never written a Yullen lemon before. Joe and George would be more than happy to test any ideas (if you're curious, their profiles are on my profile).
A/N 2: Like I said, you don't need to read the other story, but it helps give a better idea of what's going on, so please give it a try (and I'll section off the lemon so that you can skip it if you want to, but it won't be until the 3rd chapter anyway).
