Pairings: One sided Allen/Lavi but mostly friendship.

Warning: Un-beta.

Summary: It was out there simple as that. There was no way to take back what was reviled, and they were okay with that.


Lavi sat at his computer desk, laughing.

It was almost midnight and he has been on ever since school left out at two forty-five. It was alright though; his grandfather was away on business and wouldn't be back until sometime around next Tuesday. He was the only one who ever used the desktop anyway, and he wasn't too fond of using the laptop. It was horrible for gaming, in his opinion; especially for RPGs. Which Lavi was playing not that long ago.

After Lavi logged out the game, he signed onto his yahoo. He found it was much easier to check his email that way. Instead of pulling up Firefox and signing in the old fashion way, all he had to do was click on the small envelope icon and it was pulled up for him. When Lavi was just about to log off and be done for the day, a chat window popped up.

DestroyerofTime: Hello Lavi!

Lavi smiled a little, it was nice to hear from Allen after so long. Allen was a sophomore at their high school, while he was a senior. Their classes didn't match up very well and the only time they talked was when they were on their way to class, and that was only a short two minutes. They haven't had a real conversation the past few weeks.

SirBooksAlot: Allen~! :D Hello!

DestroyerofTime: How have you been?

After answering with the same "Good, how about you?" and in turn getting the same old "Same," Lavi asked who Allen had liked.

It was something Lavi always wanted to know about the younger teen. From what he can recall, Allen hasn't dated anyone or even mentions so much of a crush on someone, or boy for that matter. It was about a year ago that Allen told Lavi his preference for men, and Lavi surprised Allen by saying okay.

Lavi was really okay with that. Sure, the thought that Allen was homosexual never crossed his mind, but it didn't change that Allen was Allen. The same old white haired bean sprout, just with the added he liked men.

He liked asking Allen this question as it always seems the younger tried everything to avoid answering the question. Allen always came up with silly excuses or just straight out leaving the chat without so much as a simple goodbye; never denying that he indeed liked someone. This only motivated Lavi to keep trying to have Allen spill, much to Allen's displeasure and to his own amusement.

Which is why Lavi was laughing right now, he could just imagine Allen looking all frustrated while trying to think of something to say. Lavi expected Allen to straight out leave again, but sometimes what one expects doesn't always happen.

DestroyerofTime: The person I like is…YOU.

DestroyerofTime is offline.

Lavi just sat there at his desktop looking at the computer screen, staring at what Allen just typed. A small understanding smile graced his face.


It was Monday and the time was the passing period between third and fourth period where Allen had Gym and where Lavi had lunch. The Gym and lunchroom were close, the lunchroom just being up a small flight of stairs to the left of it. Usually Lavi and Allen would be walking together now, talking about what happened over the weekend.

The person I like is…you.

The small sentence still made Lavi smile when he thought of it. Not because he felt the same way about Allen (Lavi was fairly sure that he was straight.), but it was such a small innocent confession with no alternative motive behind it. Dare if he even say it, it was cute. Lavi was sure it must have taken Allen a lot of courage to confess something like that to him, without having the knowledge how Lavi would have acted to it. He respected Allen for doing it.

A small "Umm…Lavi," caught his attention. He knew the voice, it may have sounded small, nervous, and embarrassed but Lavi still knew it was Allen who called him. Lavi turned around and saw Allen standing at least a foot away from him. He saw the younger teen look down back at the floor with a side glance, his cheeks flustered just a little bit before looking back to Lavi's one green eye. Lavi stared back at Allen's grey eyes, and as the white haired boy began to talk the voices and footsteps of everyone else seemed to die out.

"Lavi, I know you don't like me in that sort of way. And I won't delude myself into thinking you do. I don't even think I love you in that sort of way either…as a friend I do. I…I just hope that this doesn't change anything between us." The last part sounded so hopeful and pleading.

Lavi just laughed and gave Allen a one armed hug around the shoulders. Lavi wasn't stupid. He knew that confession was out and there was one way of taking it back either. Ignoring wouldn't have helped; it might have made the situation seem more serious than it really was. He also knew that this was Allen, and Allen would never try to do anything…in that way with Lavi if there was even a slight chance that it would ruin the friendship, in Allen's mind at least.

It was okay. Really, its okay.
