A/N: Okay, here I am again! Sorry I haven't really posted in a while, and don't expect regular updates, they will be spontaneous. I will try to update at least every two weeks, but please don't kill me if I don't... DX

Anyways, here's chapter two. I had to think a bit as to what I wanted to have happen in it and, again, I'm sorry for any OOCness. I'm terrible at judging if they are in character and is a constant worry that takes up my thoughts when reading this, so I apologize if there happens to be any.

I'm currently in the middle of writing chapter three and have rewrote it so many times I lost count, but (hopefully) I'll be able to figure out what I want to happen. It might end up being really short, so bare with me!

Disclaimer: I don't own -Man or any of its characters.

~CHAPTER TWO~

Allen remained silent for the remainder of dinner, happy that no one came to sit with him. Lavi wasn't here anymore because Lenalee insisted that Lavi see the nurse, even though he didn't sustain any injuries. Allen smiled slightly; it was typical Lenalee.

Then he remembered the fight, the way Kanda's hand felt under his, his voice melting him more with each word he spoke. He blushed slightly at the thought, then quickly tried to shake it away as he started eating faster, if that was even possible. He knew they were going to leave as soon as dinner was done, but he didn't want to risk anybody seeing him as his is now.

It didn't take him long to finish and he brought his dishes up to Jerry, who gladly took them so that he could wash them. He quickly rushed out of the cafeteria, oblivious to the stare Kanda was burning into his back.

Once he was out in the hall, he hurried to his room again. Anybody seeing him in his current state would strike it as being odd and no doubt question him. He absolutely did not want that to happen. Even if he did feel that way about Kanda, there's was no way he would feel the same about him. Every time he saw him, he was always glared at and picked on. How was that a sign of him potentially liking him?

He arrived at his room in a few short minutes and started sorting out his things again to make sure that he wasn't forgetting anything.

After he was sure that he had everything he needed, dinner was over and he went downstairs to wait for the gondola. When he arrived downstairs, he was surprised to see that Kanda was already there. It looks like Allen was a little later than usually because the gondola was already there.

"Oh, sorry, it seems that I'm a bit late…" Allen said, feeling more and more awkward with each passing second.

"Whatever. Let's hurry up and get this mission over with," Kanda said while he boarded the gondola. Allen followed quickly after so he didn't get Kanda even angrier, he would have to spend a couple days with the samurai and he didn't want to make it overly awkward.

He was pulled out of his musings when he felt the gondola start to move. He decided to keep his mouth shut unless he was spoken to first. He looked around the gondola and saw something so peculiar that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"There aren't any finders with us?"

"Weren't you listening?" Kanda said, sounding very annoyed, "They said they were running low and that this mission shouldn't be a difficult mission. We're just gonna have to gather information ourselves."

"Oh, okay," Allen said lamely. This time, he kept quite until they arrived at the train station. He carried his bags with him and Kanda followed suit, heading to the back of the train where their reserved seats were.

The train attendant opened the door and smiled kindly as he took their luggage. Allen took a seat on one side of the cart and Kanda took a seat on the other. Allen tried his hardest not to make eye contact with him, he didn't want to do anything stupid.

After about a half hour, he couldn't take. He looked over a Kanda to find that he had fallen asleep. This was a rare sight. Allen couldn't remember anytime that Kanda had fallen asleep on the train ride to a mission. This struck Allen's curiosity, and he couldn't take his eyes off him. This was his chance to take in the image of the samurai without looking strange.

He was pulled out of his musings when he heard Kanda say something and it made him froze. He wasn't sure if he was waking up, or not. He decided to listen closely.

"….A-Allen….."

Allen's blood ran cold. Did Kanda really just say his name? No, he couldn't have. There's was no way that Kanda was having a dream about him, no way in hell.

But he couldn't get rid of the hope that he had, that Kanda actually was having a dream about him, that he actually did feel the same. He shook his head as if to shake away the feelings and looked out the window. They should be arriving in Monastiraki in about fifteen minutes. 'Should I wake him up? Or would he just get mad at me? Hmm… I think I'll wait a couple minutes more.' Allen thought to himself.

He continued to look out the window, glancing at Kanda every so often. He couldn't stop himself; he wouldn't have another chance to.

When they were about seven minutes away, Allen decided to wake Kanda up. He started by shaking him gently, thinking that that would be enough to wake him up. To his surprise, he was still asleep.

"Hey, Kanda. Wake up. We're almost there," Allen said, slightly loud, yet not too loud.

"….Mmmm…" Was his only response.

"Kanda! Get up!" Allen said, starting to get slightly annoyed. Kanda still didn't get up. Then something mischievous came across Allen's mind.

"Kanda~ what did you want me to do?" Allen said playfully.

"Mmmm…R-Right there…" Kanda said before moaning slightly.

Allen immediately sat back down in his seat and looked out the window, his cheeks painted the darkest shade of red there was. He didn't think that Kanda was actually having a dream about him.

After a couple of minutes, he remembered that they were almost there. He had to wake Kanda up so they wouldn't miss their stop.

"Kanda! Get up now. We're almost there!" Allen said, louder than last time. Kanda still didn't wake up and Allen was getting really annoyed.

"Get up before we miss our damn stop!" Allen said as he kicked his shin. This woke Kanda up with a jolt.

"What was that all about? Ever think of waking someone up like a normal person?" Kanda asked as he held his shin.

"I tried, you wouldn't wake up. Also, you talk in your sleep," Allen said, a slight blush coming across his face as he looked back out the window. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Kanda's eyes widen slightly before they went back to normal size and he turned his gaze away from Allen, clearly flustered no matter how hard he tried to cover it up. Allen had to contain a smile at his reaction, yet it still surprised him that Kanda would have a dream like….that about him.

Allen was about to ask further when the train came to a screeching stop and the doors opened. Allen got up quickly and went to get his luggage as Kanda followed behind him.

They got off the train and went to find an inn to stay the night at. After searching a little bit, they found a hotel about six miles from Monastiraki, the place they'll be searching for information. It was called Hotel Nafpaktos, and, to their luck, had two rooms left. They happened to be on the same floor and not too terribly far away from each other.

Allen quickly went his room to unpack his stuff. He had packed an abundance of clothes, he never knew how long a mission would last and he didn't want to wear his Black Order uniform all the time. After unpacking everything, he decided to change into more comfortable clothing. He pulled out a red, short-sleeve shirt and a pair of dark jeans.

Once dressed, he walked over to Kanda's room. He wasn't sure what he was going to say, but he was more than curious about what his dream was about. He had ideas, but no guarantees.

Just as he was about o knock on the door, Kanda opened it, his eyes widening a little in surprise for a split second before being covering it up with anger. He was wearing a white button-up shirt that went to his elbows with a pair of brown pants.

"What the hell are you doing here, Moyashi?" Kanda said without making eye contact.

"W-well…" Allen started out, but then realized how lame he sounded and immediately got bolder so he didn't stutter. "I want to ask you a question."

"Okay, ask me," Kanda said, sounding slightly confused.

"In the hallway?" Allen asked, raising an eyebrow. He did want a little privacy for quite a few people were roaming the hallways.

"Where else?" Kanda said, sounding slightly irritated, "Can't you ask me here?"

"I guess I cou-"

Before Allen could finish, his eye was set off. He immediately became alert.

"An akuma's here." He said, still trying to pinpoint the exact area.

"Fuck." Kanda went back inside his room to grab Mugen, his precious katana. When he came back, they were off immediately.

"Where is it?" Kanda asked hurriedly.

"Right around…here," Allen said before stopping. No more than two seconds later did an akuma burst through the wall they were facing. It wasn't very strong, but had to be dealt with immediately.

Allen activated his arm and made it into a gun, aiming it at the akuma. Kanda already had his sword drawn and was attacking the akuma.

"Kanda, hold the akuma in place!" Allen yelled, still trying to aim at the fast moving akuma.

"Why would I help you?" Kanda said, moving fast as he tried to attack the akuma again.

"Because the more we work together, the faster we can defeat the akuma and get the overall mission over with," Allen practically yelled, getting more and more irritated with Kanda's reluctance. Can't he see that people could die if this akuma wasn't killed immediately?

"…Whatever." Kanda moved slightly faster as he moved in front of the akuma and dug Mugen into it, stopping it in it's place. "What're you waiting for? Fire!" Kanda yelled as he was pushed back slightly.

Allen immediately started firing, trying to keep the shots aimed toward the akuma face to destroy it quickly. In no less than ten seconds, the akuma was defeated and the spirit held within it was free to rest in peace.

Kanda shivered a bit as he put Mugen back in its sheath, "I can never get used to seeing an akuma's spirit."

"It took awhile for me, as well. It's not a thing that someone can get used to in such a short amount of time," Allen said as he deactivated his arm. He looked around to see if there was anybody around that could be potentially injured. He didn't see anybody, thankfully.

"Looks like we got to it before it hurt anybody," Allen said, clearly relieved. He checked around the rummage just to make sure. As he was looking, his eye caught something familiar. He picked it up and saw that it was his Black Order crest and then saw that it was his uniform. What was it doing here? Then it hit him. The attack was awfully close to Kanda's room and was in the direction of his room. He looked around a bit more to find more of his clothes. As he was looking through his stuff, Kanda came up behind.

"What're you doing?" he asked, sounding a little confused.

"U-Uh, how should I say this…" Allen said, mostly to himself.

"C'mon, spit it out already!" Kanda said impatiently.

"It looks like I don't have a room to sleep in tonight…" Allen responded awkwardly. Kanda just stared back at him in disbelief.

A/N: Okay, so... How did I do? I didn't do TOO bad, did I? Remember that I love any and all criticism, even if it's to tell me how bad it is... -_- Anyways, I hope to update again soon as soon as I can figure out what's going to happen next. See ya next chapter! Remember to tell me what you think!
