Hey guys! I actually split the last chapter in two… so the dramatic character reveal is in this part! Hope you like it! The last chapter actually wasn't too bad…
Warning: Dramatic character reveal (for real this time)
Acknowledgements: A big thanks to my lovely reviewers Origami Lotus, Colorici74 and kh07gl! I can honestly say I wasn't expecting any reviews for the first chapter… and within ten hours, no less! A big thankies to you guys, and virtual muffins! Or cupcakes. Whichever you prefer. Though my dog might have eaten the muffins… he does love them.
Colorici74: Thank you! I think it was pretty good, but I was tired when I wrote it, so I though there would be more mistakes… guess not. Laven is my all-time favorite pairing, because I think it's just adorable. I like Yullen and Yuvi too, but Laven definitely takes the cake. (Even if the cake is a lie… I'm such a nerd.) That's why I chose it for this particular story… I wanted it to be so fluffy that you guys would drown in the fluff. Here's that update you asked for. :3
Origami Lotus: Thanks. I think it was good… considering I was falling asleep and all. The plot bunnies wouldn't leave me alone, so I wrote it.
kh07gl: Thanks! Here's the next chapter!
I have enabled anonymous reviews! Please review if you're reading, it makes me happy and encourages me to write! On with the story!
. :Allen POV: .
When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was that my limbs felt heavy, almost as though they were made of lead. I groaned, and I heard the 'whoosh' of someone walking to the side of the bed. Wait, bed? The last thing I remember was… Oh right. I passed out. Guess I'm in the nurse's office.
"Allen! Are you okay? Does your head feel alright? You passed out and Kanda had to carry you here! Too bad I'm – Ouch! My dear sweet Lenalee, why do you wound me so?" I opened my eyes and turned my head just in time to see Lenalee elbow Komui in the ribs.
"Put a sock in it brother. Allen, are you okay? We were all worried when you collapsed. Even Kanda. He's outside pacing right now. Even if he seems tough, he's really just a softie." She gave me a warm smile. I blinked and looked at the clock. 3rd period. I missed my P.E. class. That's a good thing. But I'm missing geometry… My favorite class…
I sit up, only to have Lenalee freak out and try to get me to lie back down. Kanda must have heard Komui from outside, so he walks around to the other side of my bed and sits in a conveniently placed chair. "Baka Moyashi." He says, but his voice is lacking it's usual venom. I guess he really was worried about me. That's a first.
"Kanda! He just woke up! Don't be so rude!" Lenalee scolds. I sigh and swing my legs over the bed, experimentally standing up and finding the blurriness gone. And the floor is still there, that's a good sign. Lenalee grabs my shoulder and steers me back to the bed.
I stare at it for a few seconds then look at her. "Lenalee, I'm alright. Really. I feel fine now, though I do have a slight headache. But I'm fine, I sware." I give her an encouraging smile. She looks unconvinced, but her hand drops from my shoulder nonetheless.
I turn to Komui. "Can I go back to class now?" I ask. He rubs his chin, looking deep in thought. He eventually nods, and I grab my backpack which someone so kindly placed next to my bed. I wave goodbye to everyone and walk to Mr. Mikk's room.
Geometry is completely, and utterly, boring. Our teacher, Tyki Mikk, is boring. Well, that's a lie. (Like aforementioned cake…) He's crazy. Maybe that's not the correct term… eccentric, maybe? That seems right. I'm not quite sure how he came to acquire a job at the Black Order Academy with his level of capability, but I'm glad he did. It just means that this class is easy. His unhealthy obsession with the number five makes it easy to complete the homework and class work… considering that's the answer to every question.
My gaze shifts from the blackboard which is quickly filling up with five's to out the window. I see a flash of red, and I quickly stand up to see what it was. It could have been him! It could have been Lavi! I think. Mr. Mikk clears his throat. "Is everything alright, Mr. Walker?" He asks.
I search frantically for an excuse, but my brain is a jumble of thoughts and memories. "Not feeling well…" I mutter, and his expression goes from amused to concern. "Do you want someone to escort you to the nurse's office?" I shake my head and he looks confused. "Are you sure?" He asks. I nod my head and make my way to the door. "You can come back and grab your things whenever you like!" He calls as I shut the door.
I walk towards the infirmary, but then veer left towards a door leading outside. I run to the approximate area where I saw the flash, but whatever it was is long gone. I sigh and make my way to the nurse's office, looking defeated.
When I arrive, the head nurse approaches me. "I got a call from Mr. Mikk a few minutes ago saying you'd be here. What took you so long?" She demanded. I fumbled for an excuse. "Uh… I had to go to the bathroom… But I feel better now… I think the cold water did some good." I gave her a shaky smile and she grunted. "Alright then. I'll be sending you back if you don't need anything." I nodded and fled as fast as my legs would carry me.
The rest of class was uneventful. Before I knew it, it was lunchtime. When I got to the cafeteria, Lenalee waved me over to our table. "Did you hear? Komui decided that school should be let off early today. Something about needing his beauty sleep…?" She turned to Kanda with the last words and he nodded. She looked back and gave me a wicked grin that terrified me. I definitely did not want to see that look again. "Apparently, our class is getting an exchange student!" Her smile morphed into a kind one. "Isn't that great?"
I nodded absently, but my gaze was fixed on a redhead that was standing in the crowd. Lenalee must have followed my gaze, because she made a noise of confusion. "I guess that must be him. We don't have anyone with hair that bright." He disappeared in the throng of people and I slowly looked back at my food. I noticed the smirk Kanda was trying to hide by stuffing his face with soba. "What's so funny, BaKanda?" I growl.
His smirk only widened and he shook his head. I glared at him, but eventually gave up and started eating my food. At least I only had one more class. That was health, with Ms. Lulubell.
Everyone was chattering about the new kid. I caught little snippets of conversation, but nothing really stood out. Mostly just people debating on whether he was a boy or girl, and what he looked like. I guess no one else saw him in the cafeteria, though that isn't surprising. Lots of people have strange colored or styled hair. Like Road Camelot, who has spiky blue hair. Or Kanda, or Lenalee, or even me. I'm the only one with white hair, surprisingly.
Lulubell walks in, and the class is immediately silent. She has a bit of a… reputation for being the strictest teacher in the entire school. Looks can be deceiving. Not that I care, of course. It's a well known fact around the school that I'm gay. It gets kind of creepy when random girls come up to you and ask if you know what yaoi is… that gets a bit awkward.
My train of thought is derailed when Lulubell clears her throat. Mimi, the student teacher, bounces up and down happily in her seat. Lulubell sighs and starts speaking. "As you all know, we have an exchange student. If any of you are rude to him, the entire class will be getting detention. Have I made myself clear?"
"Yes Ms. Lulubell." Everyone says in unison. See what I mean about strict? She claps her hands and the doors open, revealing the redhead from earlier. My heart stops. He gives a toothy grin and introduces himself. "My name's Lavi Bookman Jr. and it's nice to meet'cha." Lulubell points at me. "You will be sitting next to Allen Walker."
Looks like I was right about the week being interesting.
And there's chapter two. I hope you guys like it! Please review! If you do, you get virtual muffins or cupcakes! :D
