Summary: Lavi is in his room thinking to himself about all that has happened. Does he have feelings for Kanda?


Chapter 2: Obsession

Lavi paced around the room back and forth, mumbling to himself. "Shit on a shingle. I can't believe I did that to him!" Lavi stopped his pacing and looked up. "Although…kissing him felt kind of….right."

"What are you mumbling about?"

Lavi screamed and jumped onto the giant stacks of newspaper in the tiny room. Lavi realized that he voice came from Bookman, an old man who found Lavi as a little boy and raised him as his own.

"G-Geez gramps! D-Don't scare me like that!!" Lavi exclaimed as he caught his breath.

"Don't mutter under your breath. It makes you look insane."

"Shut up Panda."

With that remark, Bookman kicked the side of Lavi's face, sending him flying into another pile of newspapers. Lavi sat up while gasping for air. "What the hell!?" Bookman looked at Lavi with a semi-concerned look on his face.

"What's wrong with you? You seem angry and confused."

Lavi looked at Bookman, then turned his head, afraid to tell Bookman what he had recently done to Kanda. For if he did tell him, Bookman would shun like the rest of the world and be ashamed of him. Lavi did not want to risk losing his father figure. Lavi looked back at Bookman with a smile on his face. "Nothing's wrong old man!" Lavi stood and dusted himself off. "I'm going to go to the library." With that, Lavi left the room.

~Hours later~

"Lavi, wake up! Lavi!" A gentle hand shook Lavi's shoulder as he slept. "Oh, for heaven's sake!" A fist came down hard onto Lavi's head. Lavi awoke suddenly. He sat up quickly and looked around with his uncovered left eye half open. "Lavi." Lavi looked straight ahead only to see his god friend Allen Walker. Lavi smiled, still half asleep. "Hey Allen." Lavi raised his arms and stretched. "What's up?" Allen pointed towards the hall with his thumb. "Komui wants to see you."

"Oh, a mission, right?"

"It seems so."

Lavi stood and left the library, leaving the mess he made, as always. Lavi put his hand over his mouth, covering his yawn as he headed towards the Science Department, where Komui's office was. Lavi opened the doors to the Science Department and headed towards Komui's office. As he approached the doors, he sighed. At least I can get away from Yu and think all of this over by myself. Lavi set his hand on the doorknob and slowly opened the door. Once it was opened, he poked his head inside. He looked around the room, and what he saw in it, made his eye widen.
