I do not own D Gray man
Lavi fastened the last button on Allen's shirt.
"I still can't believe that Panda's clothes don't fit him." He told Lenalee who had her hands on Allen's shoulders. The clothes Lavi had found for him were to big and hung loosely from his body. Allen had on a baggy white dress shirt, the sleeves folded up so that his hands were free. A black belt kept black baggy pants from falling off of the thin boy and even the pants were rolled up around his ankles.
"Well, he is short for his age." Lenalee added, causing both Lavi and herself to think of Allen's old nickname given to him by Kanda.
"Um, Lavi?" Allen asked. Komui had re-introduced Allen to everyone at the order so he was still guessing at names.
"Yes Allen?" Lavi answered tucking in the right side of Allen's shirt.
"Where's Mana?" He asked. Lavi and Lenalee's gaze met. Komui had explained to them that telling Allen about Mana could cause him to be traumatized to it would be best to dodge the subject.
"Um… he is out visiting a friend. He should be back in a few weeks so don't worry about it." He told Allen, leaving the left side of the shirt untucked. He stood up and looked down at the small child. "We should find you some shoes." Lavi said looking up at Lenalee. She nodded and smiled reaching over for Allen's left hand.
Allen quickly pushed his left hand behind his back, unfolding his sleeve enough so that his left hand was covered. He took Lenalee's hand in his right, keeping his left behind his back.
"Maybe we should get you a pair of gloves too." Lavi added
Allen sat down in a chair as Lenalee slipped a pair of shoes on him and tied the laces. Lavi passed him a pair of white gloves, which made him smile as he quickly pulled them on.
"Lenalee, can you help me for while?" Komui called form the doorway. Lenalee nodded before turning back to Lavi.
"You got him?" She asked, receiving a nod. Lenalee smiled and bent down to kiss Allen on the cheek. "Be good for Lavi OK Allen?" She asked him heading for the door. Allen blushed, wiping the invisible kiss from his cheek. Lavi smiled at him.
"So, what do you want to do Allen?" Lavi asked the blushing boy. Allen shrugged and looked out the window at the snow. Lavi followed his gaze and got an idea. "How about we make a snow bunny!" He said happily. Allen looked at Lavi with a puzzled look before being dragged outside.
Lavi smiled down at Allen as snow fell into his burgundy hair. He bent down and began gathering snow into a pile.
"Just make an oval of snow on the ground and find two leaves and a few rocks and," Lavi finished the snow bunny so Allen could inspect it, using the rocks as a nose and eyes and the leaves as ears. "Come on, let's make one together." Lavi said. Allen didn't protest as he squatted down and began making a snow bunny with Lavi. They finished the second bunny and stood back to inspect it. "Well, what do you think" Lavi asked Allen. After a few seconds, Allen walked back up to the bunny and added something that Lavi couldn't see until the child stood back.
"Lavi." Allen said pointing to the snow bunny. Lavi smiled to himself as he saw the new addition to the bunny. Allen had put a dark colored leaf over the rabbit's right eye, just like Lavi's eye patch.
"That's cute Allen" Lavi said patting the boy's head. Allen looked up at him.
"Lavi, why do you wear an eye patch" Allen asked out of the blue. This surprised Lavi because Allen had never asked him this before. "Is your eye missing?" he added. Lavi shook his head.
"The eyes is still there but it's a weird color and I cant see out of it. I cover it up so that other people don't have to look at it." He told Allen. Allen looked down at the white snow bunny.
"Why do you cover you left hand up?' Lavi countered. Allen thought for a while before answering.
"People are afraid of it. They think its gross and hate me for it." He told Lavi. Lavi didn't speak for awhile, he just looked down at Allen.
"Well, you don't have to worry about that here. We don't care what you look like Allen, were your fiends." Lavi reassured him. The two were interrupted by the sound of footsteps in the snow. Lavi and Allen turned to see who was walking toward him and found Bookman, an elderly man who Lavi was apprenticed to.
"Lavi, come along. You have Bookman duties to tend to." He said in an important voice. Allen glared at the man. Ever since Lavi and Lenalee had tried to put Allen in the old mans clothes, they hadn't been on good terms. "Young Walker, is there a problem?" He asked Allen. Allen raised his had to point at Bookman.
"Panda." He said, causing the elderly man to begin yelling. Lavi picked Allen up and walked inside, ignoring the old man following them." Panda. Panda. Panda!" Allen repeated as they walked though HQ's halls. Finally, Lavi found what he was looking for. The three walked into the dinner hall, grabbing everyone's attention but one mans. The man sipped his soba noodles with his eyes closed until Lavi yelled out his name.
"Hey Yu!" he yelled, causing Kanda to glare his way. "I need you to watch Allen." He said setting Allen down in a chair next to him. "Panda is making me go do something and Lenalee is stuck with her brother so you're the only one who is free." Lavi said smiling. "He hasn't eaten anything so he is probably hungry, OK have fun!" Lavi said before Kanda could yell at him. Lavi quickly left, dragging Bookman behind him.
Kanda looked down at the small version of Allen.
"Agitate me and I'll kill you." Kanda said glaring at him.
Well what do you think?
