Auttie: *sigh* well, here we are again.
Star: That we are...
Auttie: So. I'm a widow now. Moyashi is haunting me.
Star: Fine with me. It just means you've been left alone to raise the kids as a single parent.
Auttie: At least I didn't abandon them, unlike a certain bean sprout.
Star: A certain beansprout was stuffed in a bag and thrown into a river by her so called BaKanda
Auttie: ...so you're cheating on me?
Star: I'm a ghost, I can't cheat, and even if I could I wouldn't, murderer.
Auttie: You did it when you were alive. How could you, moyashi?!
Star: WHEN!?
Auttie: I DON'T KNOW! WHEN YOU WERE ALIVE OBVIOUSLY!
Star: If I cheated on you wouldn't you have known before you killed me? You're the one who calls me a horrible liar.
Auttie: Stop trying to lie! Tch. If you weren't a ghost I'd probably kill you myself.
Star: YOU ALREADY DID!
Auttie: Lies!
Star: You're the one lying! I'm the victim, I think I'd know who it was who killed me, especially when it was my own Baka!
Auttie: You're such a liar... moyashi... how could you... I... *clenches fists* just let them read.
Star: I'm dead. What do I have to gain by lying? Fine. You want to do the honors or shall I?
Auttie: What don't you have to gain? You can.
Star: My life for starters. Alright then~ My murderer and I don't own DGM.
Auttie: ... *grabs the salt*
Star: That won't work on me~
Auttie: Just let them read, dumbass.
Star: Look who's talking. Alrighty then, we hope you guys enjoy~

Kanda woke up some time later. He yawned and shifted. It was warm, really, really warm. He groaned and rolled over, trying to free himself of the intense heat. Unfortunately, the edge of the bed was right there and he landed on the icy stone floor. Letting out a shocked noise, he scrambled to get up, only to tangle himself in the blanket he'd dragged with him.
Allen whimpered in protest, reaching blindly for the blanket and the warm body that had been resting against him just seconds ago, his mind still blurry with sleep.
He forced his eyes open, shivering slightly as he tried to adjust to the temperature of the cold room.
"Yuu?" He mumbled tiredly, rubbing sleep from his eyes as his gaze landed on his lover, brow furrowing in confusion at the sight he made, "What are you doing on the floor...?"
Kanda stopped and looked up at the boy, taking in his sleep rumpled hair and drowsy silver eyes, the faintest circles just starting to form beneath the pale pools.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." He said slowly, detangling himself from the blanket and standing. He picked the blanket up and lay down next to the whitette, spreading the blanket back over them. He knew it was time to get up, but since when did he ever give a damn about what other people said?
Though there was something about a mission he was supposed to check out.
Whatever.
"If you say so..." Allen said slowly, a yawn breaking through at the end as he curled up against Kanda's side and rested his head on the elder's shoulder, one arm thrown lazily across his waist, "We should probably be… getting up soon..." He mumbled a few moments later, eyes fluttering closed, already drifting back to sleep.
Kanda hummed and drew lazy shapes into Allen's back, watching in mild amusement as his tired lover settled.
"Yeah. Probably." He replied, turning his head to inhale the whitette's scent. He pressed a kiss to the white locks and hummed appreciatively at the feel of the soft strands.
Allen hummed in contentment, a small smile tugging at his lips as he tilted his head to kiss Kanda's shoulder.
Kanda blinked at him before grabbing his chin and tilting his head up to into a deep kiss. He swept his tongue along his lips, asking for entrance. Allen hummed a moment in thought before allowing his lips to part, eyes closed as he twisted his body to lay a bit more on Kanda's chest, allowing his lover to better angle and deepen the kiss.
Kanda hummed and slipped his tongue inside the moist cavern, savoring the unique taste of his lover. He brushed against Allen's, trying to get him to return the gesture and deepen the kiss farther.
"Wow. Why am I not surprised?"
Kanda jerked back - leaving Allen dazed and mildly confused, mouth still slightly open, a pale flush present in his cheeks - and looked toward the end of the bed where a very unwanted redhead was lying across the mattress. He took a moment to ask himself how the hell he'd gotten there before proceeding to kick him, making him fall of the bed and onto the hard stone floor with an undignified cry.
It was his own fault he was on his legs.
Glaring menacingly, Kanda kissed Allen quickly once more before standing, slipping his clothes on in record time and walking up to the redhead to see what part of him he wanted to maim today.
Allen blinked for a moment, unsure as to why he was suddenly alone in bed – again – before the voice fully registered and his blush deepened as he pulled the blanket up, making sure he was covered properly. "L-Lavi!" He cried indignantly, trying to glare at the red-head, but the bright stain in his cheeks ruining the effect, "What the bloody hell are you doing in here? Scratch that; How the hell did you get in here in the first place!?"
His gaze snapped in Kanda's direction, expression settling for an annoyed glare, something telling him that it was his fault.
Kanda grabbed the rabbit's arm, hauling him to his feet and ignoring the other's look.
"The hell are you doing here, Baka Usagi?" He asked, his grip tightening as a devious grin slid across his face, the anger underneath barely hidden from view.
"Well, Yuu-Chan~. I needed to make sure Moyashi-chan was still alive~. Komui, Lenalee, and I were starting to worry, especially after all the screaming last night," Lavi's grin widened and Allen's blush deepened as he flopped back on the bed and tried to cover his face with the blanket, "I came to check, the door was unlocked and you guys seemed to be having 'fun' so I thought I'd join ya."
He took a step back, ready to run in case Mugen came out, but his grin didn't falter.
Kanda narrowed his eyes, grinning wider.
"You? Join us?" He gave a dark laugh and advanced on the redhead. "As if I'd actually let you." He grabbed the red-head's collar, pushing him back a few steps.
"Now. About the other thing. What have I told you about coming into my room? An unlocked door is NOT an invitation, Usagi." He purred, backing him against the wall, before turning his gaze on the form that lay hidden beneath the blanket, "What do you think we should do with him, Moyashi?"
Allen slowly peeked out from under the blanket and looked between the two, his face completely expressionless aside from the deep pink hue that dusted his cheeks, before allowing his gaze to settle on Kanda, "Just throw him out and be done with it. You can skin him alive later, that way you won't make a mess on the floor."
Lavi blinked and looked over at the whitette in horror as a smirk came to Kanda's lips, a low hum vibrating through his throat. Point taken. So he did what he was told, dragging the unwanted red-head towards the door and shoving him out, taking a small shred of satisfaction from the way he stumbled, very nearly falling on his face.
"Don't disappear now." He said as he closed the door behind him. This time making sure it was locked tight. Sighing, he wandered back to the bed before all but flopping over next to Allen.
"Too early for this shit..."
"Don't complain. This was your fault. You're the idiot who didn't lock the bloody door." Allen growled lowly, the blush finally seeming to fade a few shades with the red-head gone.
Kanda growled, glaring at him out of the corner of one eye. "Too early for that too."
He rolled so that he leaned over Allen, glaring down at him. He frowned before leaning down, kissing his neck and grazing his teeth over the point just under his jaw. He hummed and gave a small nip before grazing the skin again.
"Bakanda, no, we have a mission and I need to be able to actually walk!" Allen growled, putting one hand on Kanda's chest and pushing slightly, a silent demand for the elder to get off of him.
Kanda growled in protest before leaning away. He grabbed Allen's hand from his chest and kissed it before grinning and working on his neck again.
"It can wait a moment. And you don't have to walk. I'll carry you." He said, sucking on the flesh. Then he chuckled. "Probably not for very long though."
"Weren't you satisfied last night?" Allen growled tugging at his hands in an attempt to get free, only to let a sigh pass his lips, "Yuu, c'mon now's hardly the time for this, let me go."
"Who said I wasn't satisfied?" Kanda asked, nipping again, but in the end he sighed and gave up. "Tch. Fine."
He stood and fixed his clothes before looking back at Allen who was still lying on the bed, blinking up at the older male. "You were so eager to go and now you're not moving. I don't mind staying, you know."
"I was just wondering since your constant urge to molest me implies that you never are," Allen growled when he got over his shock at the fact that his lover had actually released him, before rolling out of bed, wincing at the familiar soreness that seemed to spread through his lower back, "And you can stay but I'm not." He added with a glare.
Kanda frowned. "Well when you put it that way..." He shrugged, "I guess I just can't get enough of you." He replied honestly. He grabbed Mugen and strapped it to his belt before looking back at Allen, "You almost ready?"
"Yeah," Allen said, frowning slightly as he pulled on his jacket before taking a step towards his lover and putting one hand on the elder's forehead, "Are you feeling alright...?" he asked speculatively.
Kanda frowned at him. "Of course. Why the hell wouldn't I be?" He swatted the hand away before pecking him on the lips and turning toward the door.
"Well, that was a sweet thing to say and since you're never nice much less sweet I was just checking," Allen said with a smile, clinging to his lover's arm as they walked, only to let go as they got into the more populated areas of the order.
Kanda looked at him funny, taking one step ahead, "Are you okay? Not hallucinating or anything?"
"'Sweet' he says," Kanda snorted under his breath.
"Aside from the pain in my back, that's your fault by the way, I'm just fine," Allen said, smile hardening just almost imperceptibly.
"I'll give you a pain somewhere else if you don't hurry up, Moyashi."
'We'll see how sweet he thinks I am now.'
"I'm right behind you, Bakanda," Allen replied with a roll of his eyes, giving Kanda's sleeve a slight tug to prove it.
Kanda grunted and continued walking down the hall to Komui's office. "Why do I have a feeling this is gonna be a long mission...? Long and tedious..."
"Maybe because you always think their long and tedious?" Allen supplied with a smirk.
Kanda sighed and opened the door, not bothering to knock. He walked in and growled in annoyance.
"Asleep. Why the fuck am I not surprised?!" He snapped, stomping over. He stooped low next to the Asian man. He was about to feed the usual line when something better popped into his mind.
"Have you heard yet? Lavi's courting Lenalee. I heard he's going to take her away from here. Something about a honeymoon in Jamaica." He stepped back and waited for the timer. It took less than a second for the room to be filled with the echo of, "LAVI YOU'RE DEAD!"
Kanda grinned. "Takes the blood off my hands. Though I'm kind of sad I can't kill him myself," he sighed mournfully, sitting beside his lover.
Allen blinked, giving Kanda a sweet smile, ignoring the supervisor and slowly pulling his hands from his ears while he waited for him to calm down. "I thought you were gonna skin him alive for interrupting us earlier."
"I'm still going to. I just won't kill him. But if he dies from that, well, collateral damage."
'Though I will be tempted to lessen his chances of survival...'
He walked over and sat beside his lover. Crossing his legs, he folded his arms and fell silent, watching the crazy scientist flip out for a bit before realizing what had happened and finally calming down to some extent. Kanda leaned toward Allen, keeping his eyes ahead.
"I thought he was supposed to be a genius?"
"I'm pretty sure that was a misconception. Most geniuses would know to wait till the anesthesia kicked in," Allen said with a shudder looking off to the side, expression strained.
Kanda nodded absently, remembering the few times he'd faced the same horrors, he had little doubt his young lover was remembering.
"Crazy bastard."
"Language, Bakanda," Allen mumbled, although he had to agree.
"Tch. My language is fine. You can understand me." Kanda sighed and turned back to the man in front of them, as the Sister Complex finally retook his seat turning is full attention on them.
"Good morning, you two~! Did you have a nice LACK OF sleep last night~?" He asked, a devious glint in his eyes as he looked between the two lovers with a knowing smile
Kanda blinked at him, a frown tugging at his tightly pressed lips. 'Don't kill him... Don't kill him..."
Allen felt his face heat up and quickly averted his gaze once more, subconsciously scratching his cheek as he spoke, "Uhh... I do-don't know what you're talking about," He said with a nervous laugh, knowing full well how horrible he was at lying when it came to matters such as these, and hoping against hope he'd buy it.
"Of course not~" Komui said knowingly, "Now! Mission details~! How does everyone feel about snow?"
Kanda "Tch'd" and said nothing. A mission was a mission. Allen looked at him from the corner of his eye in interest.
"Well, no matter how you feel about it, you're going to go anyway so don't answer. You're going to Switzerland. You'll be staying the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz while investigating a series of ghost stories that have been getting more popular.
"Apparently, when the story is heard, it must be retold before nightfall else the person who heard will go missing. Finders followed tracks up the mountain but storms always prevent them from getting very far. Your job is to investigate and find the people as well as see if Innocence may be involved. You'll hear the stories more once you get there. People are too scared to not retell them. Good luck. Have fun and try not to get too distracted~!"
Kanda leaned once more to Allen. "Can I kill him?"
'At least he asked this time...' Allen thought with a sigh, "As tempting as it is to let you Lenalee's scary when she's angry and I'd rather not incur her wrath by saying yes."
Kanda thought for a moment before grunting in agreement. "Sure. Let's go with that."
Allen laughed quietly before standing and nodding to Komui, "Alright Komui, I guess we'll be going now then," He said with a smile before turning to the door, barely glancing back to see if Kanda was following.
Kanda sighed and followed Allen, not even sparing a glance to the crazy scientist.
"Long. Tedious. Mission." He grumbled. He didn't mean to sound like he was complaining. A mission was a mission and it had to get done.
But then again, Switzerland was supposed to be a place for romance.
Kanda snorted at the ridiculousness and stupidity of the thought.
Romantic. Right.
His version of romance was saying the Moyashi's name when it was just the two of them. Granted, it wasn't ALL the time. Still...
He shook his head. He was probably thinking this way because of the very little sleep. Maybe he could make up for it by frisking his lover some more on the way...
"It'll be fun," Allen said, grinning over his shoulder at his lover.
It really had been too long since he and Kanda had been sent on a mission together, and the fact that it was to Switzerland only added to his excitement. That was one place he hadn't visited during his travels with Cross, but he'd heard a few things about it from Lenalee and a few finders, and it had been one place he'd wanted to visit for quite some time.
"Fun indeed," Kanda murmured, watching him go.
.
.
.
.
It didn't take him long to pack. He waited for Allen, leaning against the stone wall outside the boy's room, tapping his finger on his arm, only looking up when the door opened and his young lover stepped out.
"Ready to go?" The whitette asked happily.
Kanda pushed of the wall. "Took you long enough."
He looked closely at him. "Pack warm?" He didn't wait for his answer as he began leading the way down the hall to the underground waterway.
"It didn't take that long," Allen said with a roll of his eyes, before his smile returned and he started walking after his lover, "Yes, I trust that you did as well?"
"Naturally. Been there before." Kanda said. He paused above the stairs. Shrugging, he descended and put one foot inside the boat to steady it. "In." He commanded, looking back at Allen.
"Really? What's it like?" Allen asked as he stepped into the boat and took a seat, staring at Kanda expectantly, "I've heard bits and pieces from Lenalee and a few finders but nothing too detailed."
"Cold. Snowy. Cold." Kanda said, stepping in completely. He grabbed the paddle and cast them off. "Hope you're good at skiing. It's one of the few ways up and down the mountain. Fastest too. And if a storm sets in, we don't want to be up there."
"That's not what I meant, Kanda," Allen sighed with a roll of his eyes, his excitement waning slightly at his lover's lack of enthusiasm, although he knew he shouldn't have been surprised.
Kanda looked at him with a frown. "What else could you mean?"
Allen sighed once more and turned on his seat, staring ahead with his back to Kanda, "Just forget I asked you." He smirked at his lover over his shoulder, "Shouldn't be too hard for Yuu."
Kanda glared holes into his hand before plunking on the head with the paddle. "I guess you can say it's nice. If you're into that sort of thing." Kanda muttered with another frown, lowering the paddle back to the water.
"OW! Yuu, that hurt," Allen half yelled rubbing his head before pouting at the older male dramatically. Leaning back in his seat so that his back was resting against Kanda, he looked up at his lover, the smallest smirk still present on his lips, "You're a real pain in the neck sometimes, ya know that?"
Kanda snorted. "Apparently that's not the only place I'm a pain in."
He pressed his food against Allen's backside with a smirk before taking one hand off the paddle and threading it through Allen's snowy locks.
Allen jumped slightly, glaring halfheartedly at the elder before letting it soften into a smile once more, leaning into Kanda's touch. "You're lucky I love you..." He said, allowing his eyes to drift closed slowly beginning to doze off to the steady sound of his lover's breathing and the soft sloshing of the oar gliding through the water.
"Agreed." Kanda muttered before returning to pushing them along. It wasn't long before they finally reached the end, and he stepped out partially, the boat against the dock.
Allen blinked open his eyes at the sound of the boat hitting the dock. He stood and stretched before grabbing his suitcase and stepping out. "Well, that took a lot less time than I expected."
Kanda raised his eyebrow and stepped out of the boat after grabbing his luggage. "It wasn't any shorter than it usually is."
Shrugging, he put his free hand between Allen's shoulder blades and ushered him toward the town in the direction of the train station.
Allen stumbled a bit, giving his lover an annoyed look over his shoulder as he quickened his stride in an attempt to keep from falling forward," I can walk on my own ya know."
"Then get moving. I don't want to miss the train because your short legs couldn't move fast enough." Kanda said back, taking up his place at the younger's side, but leaving his hand resting lightly on the cloth of his coat.
"My legs aren't short, they just aren't as long as yours, BaKanda," Allen huffed in annoyance.
"Then make them grow, Moyashi." Kanda said. Long. Tedious. Mission...
He sighed. 'At least I have a moyashi to entertain me...'
"Hmph, you're so mean, Kanda," Allen muttered before taking off towards the station, not even glancing back to see if Kanda was following.
Kanda clucked his tongue and easily caught up.
"Don't be a girl, Moyashi." He said. He walked up to the ticked booth and gave the information for the Order and got them a private compartment.
"You're the one who looks like a girl, not me," Allen said with a sly smirk when his lover returned to his side.
Kanda glared and smacked him upside the head as he passed, moving to get on the train as the whistle began to blow.
"Hurry up, Moyashi. I'm not going to catch the next train if you miss this one."
"You're such a jerk…" Allen muttered under his breath as he rubbed his head, wincing slightly before following his lover onto the train.
Kanda smirked. "You're only now realizing that?"
He led them to their compartment and settled in for the long ride across half the country. He watched Allen with narrowed eyes, humming with no distinct emotion to be seen upon his figure.
"Nope, I realized it the night we met." Allen chirped, quickly putting his bag in the luggage rack overhead, and settling into the seat across from Kanda, a small smile on his lips as he stared out the window at the passing landscape.
Kanda blinked and smirked before reaching over and sliding the lock closed as the train began to move. He stood before moving in front of Allen and leaning down.
"Now that we have that settled..."
Allen looked up, watching his lover with a questioning look before tilting his head curiously as Kanda settled in front of him, a slight pout coming to his lips as he failed to grasp whatever Kanda was getting at.
Kanda simply leaned forward, a devious glint in his eyes, before pecking his lover on the lips. He hand settled under his chin, tilting it up and placing another "gentle" kiss there. Leaning away, he sat back down and stared out the window.
Allen blinked in confusion at the sudden retreat. He shrugged it off a moment later, turning his gaze out the window as well.
Kanda watched Allen in the reflection and returned back to looking out the window with a mutter of "baka moyashi"
"What'd I do?" Allen grumbled, just catching the accursed nickname 'nickname'.
Kanda smirked. "Nothing, baka Moyashi."
It was going to be a long ride.

Auttie: *offers moyashi popcorn*
Star: *Takes some* So~ Looks like that's chapter one of five down. Bet you're happy.
Auttie: *twitch* shut up…
Star: And why would I do a thing like that~?
Auttie: Because this is me asking nicely.
Star: Really? Cause last I check that wasn't your style.
Auttie: I can adjust that just as easily if you're complaining.
Star: Why would I complain? *Smirks* I think it's just adorable~
Auttie: *glaaaare* and just what do you mean by that?!
Star: Just that you're so cute when you try new things~ *Pinches cheek*
Auttie: *slaps hands away and flips table* I AM NOT CUTE!
Star: *Smiles sweetly* But of course you are~ Where do you think our children get it from?
Auttie: *pause* our children… cute? Pffft! N-not even! Our children are demons, demons I tell you!
Star: Technically only our demon's a little demon.
Auttie: That doesn't mean the rest aren't just as bad.
Star: Yes it does. Just look at how well the kitten was cooperating not too long ago.
Auttie: The kitten always cooperates with me so I don't know what you're talking about.
Star: And it's been oddly cooperative with me lately as well. So not all of our children are evil little demons.
Auttie: Uh-huh. Riiight. Anyway, what did everyone think of the chapter?
Star: Well it's true... Yeah, we'd really like to know so~ I think you guys know the drill ^_^
Auttie: SO yeah. You should click the blue button and write things. You know, like words. So we can read them. These words. Right, moyashi~?
Star: Sounds about right though you could have just said Review, BaKanda.
Auttie: And then you wonder why I call you a baka. How could I have been more clear than that to say I was referring to the argument we just had when you asked what I was reading?
Star: You couldn't have been. I was just ignoring your sass. And at least it's not in my name, Ba-kan-da.
Auttie: Ignoring my sass is impossible. You hear me? Impossible. Anyway, I think they get the point of the review.
Star: Since when does the word impossible mean anything to your moyashi? Well, here's hoping.
Auttie: Since now for this situation. Mhm.
Star: Really? Cause I think I'm doing a pretty good job of it.
Auttie: You poor thing.
Star: Says the Baka.
Auttie: Well, you are saying it.
Star: No I'm not. You are.
Auttie: But you were the one speaking.
Star: …I'm pretty sure our readers have better things to do than watch us argue the night away.
Auttie: Which, just FYI to all of you, is very possible and I'm pretty sure has happened once or twice. Or more.
Star: More. Much more. So, to save you all from that trauma, Bye for now~
Auttie: AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN, YOU GHOULS~!
