(I guess I should probably mention that I'm new to writing Fanfiction, but I'm currently writing a lengthy story, so I wouldn't mind feedback. ^-^ Honestly, I'm only really writing this because I've been looking for a fanfiction like this for awhile but haven't found one.)

KANDA'S POV

Kanda, Allen, Lavi, Bookman, Lenalee, and Miranda were all put in the same compartment of the train that they took to get to the order. The majority of the ride was silent and, although it was obvious that everyone wanted to ask the beansprout about the noah's comment, they all stayed completely silent. That is, until Lavi had to open his big mouth.

"Hey, Allen, are you feeling any better?"

Instead of responding, he continued to stare out the window. It was almost as if he was ignoring Lavi, which was strange, for him. Allen was normally selfless and giving - never caring for himself and always putting others before himself.

"Allen~!" When Lavi continued to be ignored, he pouted before grinning evilly and laughing like a child, pulling a sharpie from his pocket and evoking aggravated sighs from his comrades. He's just so bothersome.

As Lavi began drawing on the boy's face, Allen sighed heavily in annoyance before turning around, causing Lavi to accidentally draw a black line across his pale face. Allen twitched at that and whined with panic. Although Lavi paused with shock, he immediately followed up with bubbly laughter and everyone else joined in with nearly stifled giggles. Except Kanda, of course. He was too mature to find such things entertaining.

"Lavi~", Allen cried. "Why would you do that - now I probably look stupid!"

"Well", Lavi began nonchalantly, through his laughter. "You wouldn't talk to me, so I thought it'd be okay to give you a little makeover. It really suits you!" Lavi grinned wide and gave Allen two thumbs up, receiving a glare in return and causing Miranda and Lenalee to burst into laughter, finally unable to contain it, any longer.

The rest of the ride to the order was filled with complete silence, something Kanda couldn't complain about and, instead, took advantage of, pulling out his book and reading in the peace that would normally be chaotic banter.

As soon as they reached the order, Lavi grabbed Allen's wrist and ran to Allen's bedroom. Everyone else went to sleep, not wanting to know what the two were doing. Kanda didn't want to know, either.

Although he would never come forward with it, Kanda actually had a slight crush on the boy - everyone did, really. He's adorable, looks like an angel and, despite the fact that he's so short, he can absolutely carry himself and is admirably independent. When they first met, Kanda didn't like him, though he thought that he was positively gorgeous, and wanted nothing to do with him. His height had tricked Kanda into thinking that he'd be dead within a week, and so he distanced himself whenever the boy made it impossible to do so. Whenever they were alone, he made sure to tease the boy, to keep from getting attached. It didn't help, at all.

The next morning, Allen seemed to be back to normal and everyone could only guess what had gone on, in that bedroom. Kanda was only angry that he hadn't been the one to rehabilitate the beansprout. Well, then again, it's not like he'd tried.

"Kanda", Allen asked. Kanda was sitting in front of a tray of food and Allen was pushing a cart full of many different types of foods, stopping only to question the man with that clueless look of his.

"What?"

"You've been staring at your food and..." Allen rubbed the back of his head and laughed nervously. What an idiot. "A-are you okay?"

"I should be the one asking you that." Kanda slammed his chopsticks onto the table, causing Allen to jump and freeze, looking shocked, worried, and afraid at the same time. "You were thought to be dead for days and, when you finally return, you're acting like a nutjob. Just to top it off, that noah said that you're not really our comrade. Although he may be a noah, I'd be stupid to ignore that." Kanda looked up, then, and glared at Allen. "So. Who are you, really?"

"What're you talking about? I'm Allen Walker." His nervousness seemed to come back and the entire cafeteria was watching and murmuring. Lavi and Lenalee were sitting behind Allen, quietly watching the scene play out.

"Tch, whatever." Kanda stood up and grabbed his tray. "Even if you are a spy, it's none of my business. Just don't cause me any trouble, shortstack."

"The name's Allen!" He suddenly put on a more serious face, obviously annoyed by Kanda's words. "And I'm not a spy - who would I be a spy for? If I were a spy for the noah, they wouldn't be trying to kill me and definitely wouldn't blow my cover!"

"Again, it's none of my business", Kanda said, dumping his food, placing his tray with the other dirty trays, and leaving for his room.

He didn't want to get closer to the beansprout; he'd already been proven their enemy. The only problem with that plan was that he had already gotten attached to the boy. It broke his heart to have to detach himself from Allen, but he'd do whatever he had to do to protect himself. Though, he really hoped that it wasn't true... Kanda is normally very observant, but he never thought Allen had been faking everything. It always seemed to be genuine. Then again, maybe he's just great at faking it.
