…Or should I say plan?

"Get out of here you fuckin' fags!" Kanda gave the other two a harsh push on the back and they stumbled towards the door but Lavi stopped in the door frame and turned to Kanda with a grin.

"Oi, Yu-chan, you can't throw us out."

"Oh no? Then what am I doing?"

"I dunno but if you continue I might tell Allen-chan here" He made a pause and pointed to the younger boy with his thumb. "'bout that thing you try to keep so secret but accidentally slipped those beautiful lips of yours when you crashed at my place."

It was hard to tell if Kanda was just incredibly angry or plain furious but Allen would bet on the latter. Kanda's eyes seemed even darker when he was mad and they looked like they were burning holes into Lavi who appeared remarkably calm about it with his goofy but confident smile. Kanda twitched and regretted meeting the redhead big-time but even more he regretted sleeping over there.

"You wouldn't dare."

"Oh, you know I would!" Lavi smirked but stayed confident.

Kanda knew what he was capable of and with a growl he turned back into his room, once again not closing the door. Allen stared in astonishment and Lavi just gave him a significant nod before he happily skipped back into the room.

"I knew you loved us, Yu-chan!"

Against his will Allen went back into Kanda's room just in time to see him throw a rag in Lavi's face. "You messed up! You clean!" He hissed forcefully.

Allen smirked inwards and thought that this was exactly what the stupid rabbit deserved. The one eyed teen unwillingly grabbed the rag with a disappointing look in his eye and started cleaning up the liquid from his favorite booze under Kanda's supervision. Kanda didn't trust Lavi when it came to cleaning whatsoever (I mean, just look at his book/paper filled room) so keeping an eye on him was needed and of course he enjoyed seeing others suffer.

¤-x-¤

When Lavi had finally finished the cleaning, both Allen's and Kanda's ears was trying to recover from the sound of Lavi's constant complaining, it was quiet for a short moment though but guess who ruined it.

"Let's have a drinking contest!" Lavi exclaimed through the silence and punched the air with his fist.

Both Allen and Kanda glared at him and it was obvious that neither of them wanted to have a drinking contest much less be there at all.

"Can't we just play a game of poker?" Allen searched his pockets for his deck.

"No man!" Lavi held out his hand to stop the boy's searching. "You'll just win, I dunno how ya do it but you never lose! Never!"

Allen sighed with a small nod while putting back the deck he just found, Lavi was right, Allen never lost when it came to cards. He definitely had to find some people who were willing to play poker with him in the future. Who knew what would happen to his skills if he didn't use them in a while?

"I bet Allen-babe can drink as much as he eats! Hey, that means he beats you, Yu-chan!"

The redhead got yet another death glare from the older teen.

"Tch, like hell he can!" He gave the redhead a glare. "Stop calling me that!"

"Allen, how good can you hold your liquor?"

"Like he can hold any liquor at all." Kanda mumbled loud enough for the other two to hear.

"H-Hey!" Allen protested. "I can drink it's just… I don't like it." He lowered his gaze and refused to look them in the eyes because but he couldn't help but feeling somewhat awkward about the situation. When he was younger his master had forgot a box of liquor filled chocolate and Allen, hungry as always couldn't help but taste them. He found them to be rather delicious and ended up eating the whole box which made his master roar with anger that still sent shivers down his spine.

"You… Don't like it?" Lavi exclaimed surprised with his one eye wider than usual.

"Che, brat!" Teased Kanda and eyed the smaller boy with a smirk.

Allen, who still refused to look at any of them, felt a small blush of embarrassment creep upon his cheeks and he could practically feel how they both looked at him. He shook his head violently and put on a cheeky look on his face as he finally looked up at them, hoping that the blush was gone.

"I'm not a brat just because I don't want to drink and get drunk, BaKanda."

"You're not?" Kanda faked a surprise.

"Oi, oi!" Lavi interrupted them with a goofy smile. "If Allen-chan doesn't wanna drink we shouldn't force him, Yu. But if Allen-chan doesn't wanna drink…" He made a dramatic pause and grinned at Allen. "I won't invite him to my family's annual Halloween buffet." With that announced his grin grew bigger.

The young boy's grey eyes grew big in shock as he stared at his grinning friend. Lavi, if possible, grinned even more at this and nodded firmly to assure Allen that what he said was true. Allen looked like a kicked puppy, he had really looked forward to that buffet and now, if he didn't drink it wasn't going to happen. Devastating.

"B-But, Lavi!" He whined.

"No 'buts'!" A strict redhead interrupted, now looking serious instead of grinning evilly.

"Seems like you have no choice, Bean sprout." Stated the long, black-haired teen viciously.

"Uuh…!" Allen complained loudly. If he wanted that buffet he knew he had to give up. With a sigh he looked up at Lavi. "Alright! Let's do this."

"Yaay!" Lavi cheered and raised his arms happily in the air.

"Che." Kanda tried his best to hide how much he actually looked forward to the competition and he hid it pretty well, neither Allen nor Lavi noticed at least.

¤-x-¤

"Drink 'til you drop, that's the only rule." The one eyed teen stated, without waiting for any agreement he began to line up the bottles of booze in front of the other two but he left one bottle for himself. "I'll take this one while watchin' you guys drink as much as you can of that." He made a gesture to the lined up bottles.

"Perfect." Kanda smirked and reached for one of them.

"Alright." Allen did the same but was still not sure if it was such a good idea.

So the contest was at its beginning and everything went smoothly according to Lavi, the mastermind behind all this. He hadn't worked out this idea for nothing, there was actually a meaning behind it. Lately he had these thoughts that his two best friends liked each other in a deeper way so here he was getting them drunk and maybe make them spill some secrets.

"Ready, set…GO!" Lavi shouted.

The participants glared deadly at each other before taking their bottles to their lips and devour its content.

"I'm so going to win this!" Allen closed his grey eyes as he was almost done with the first bottle.

"There's no way in hell I'm letting the bean sprout win this!" Kanda shook the bangs out of his eyes and with a smirk he slammed the bottle to the floor. "Done!"

Lavi was surprised the bottle didn't break. "Drink 'til ya drop! 'Til ya drop!" He handed his friend another one.

"Done!" The white-haired boy received another bottle from Lavi and began drinking it too.

Allen had to admit that it wasn't as bad as he thought and he would take every opportunity he could to beat that overconfident, smirking bastard even the next day's hangover was worth it. Not only that, Lavi had also promised him that they would find out Kanda's weakness so Allen could have some fun teasing in the future too.

As the two contestants got more and more dragged into the vicious competition and all their thoughts were on winning it, all that could be heard was Lavi's cheering in the background and the clinking of empty bottles while the sky turned darker and darker. Speaking of dark, Lavi's mind contained pretty dark thoughts as well; he could easily stay sober with his single bottle of beer while watching his friends get more and more drunk, soon he would get his chance to find out about their true feelings for each other and they wouldn't remember a thing tomorrow, he smirked and finished his beer.

¤-x-¤

After a few more bottles gone empty Lavi's patience started to run out as neither of the other two seemed drunk enough to spill any secrets. He couldn't let this ruin his plan and it seemed as if the Gods were on his side because just as he started working on a plan B Allen began to look like he was half unconscious, his eyes was only half open and he couldn't really control his movements. When the grey-eyed boy was going to put down his finished liquor bottle he accidentally knocked down some of the others.

"Finally!" Lavi thought happily.

Even Kanda noticed that the boy wasn't his usual controlling self; he smiled inwards knowing that the competition soon was over with him as the winner. Kanda was indeed drunk as well but he could hide it better than anyone but he usually had to spend the coming day locked up in his room to get over the incredible headache he always got.

"L-Lavi, hit me with," Allen giggled stupidly "another one!" He could barely hold himself from laughter.

Kanda couldn't believe his ears. The fucking idiot acted like a drunk, giggling idiot who had had too much sugar in his coffee.

"Allen's lost it." The redhead stated but handed him another bottle hoping it would lower the sound of his increasing giggle.

"Tch." The long-haired teen took another gulp of his liquor.

"Ah!" Allen's half-closed, grey eyes suddenly grew wide as he put away his bottle clumsily. "What are you doing? Come here." He giggled and crawled towards Kanda.

If Kanda could look scared he would but as the unemotional samurai he is he didn't show any sign of it instead he gave Lavi a questioning look but all he got from him was a huge smile. The situation was kind of awkward for the long-haired samurai and he scooted over to get away from the crawling boy.

Unlike Kanda Lavi was pleased by Allen's sudden actions. Finally the redhead would get the answers he so desperately wanted. But what he didn't expect was that the boy crawled past Kanda and picked up a little mouse.

"Hey there, Tim! What are you doing here?"

Lavi's jaw dropped. "Timcanpy?"

"Filthy rat." Kanda muttered and let out a small sigh of relief and went back to his booze.

Allen giggled happily and petted his beloved, yellow mouse. "I'll take you home." He gave the mouse a little kiss as carefully got up and wobbled out of the room.

The redhead watched him leave before leaning closer to Kanda. "What was that all 'bout?"

"The hell should I know?" He put down his bottle. "Like you said; he's lost it. I'm just glad the rat is gone." He took another gulp.

"You're not referring to Allen-babe as the rat are ya?" Lavi slightly smirked.

"Che."

At that time Allen stumbled back in but he managed to keep he balance.

"Hey, Allen! Do you like Kanda?" Lavi couldn't take it anymore, he just had to ask.

"What?" Kanda gave the redhead the most furious death glare he could pull off.

Lavi ignored him and stared with his one eye fixed at the nervous Allen.

"K-Kanda?" His cheeks got redder and it wasn't only because of the booze.

Lavi looked hopeful but Kanda just looked like he was going to throw up any minute.

"No, I don't like him…" Allen's giggling attitude was as good as gone and he held his face low, hiding the blush behind his snow-white hair as he slowly wobbled back to his place on the floor by the bed. Once again he refused to look at them because of embarrassment. It was partly true that he didn't like Kanda it was actually more than that; he had a crush on him but when Kanda had just ignored him except when it came to death threats, Allen's feelings for him became unbalanced and then there was Lavi, who was always nice to him. It made Allen unsure of whom he really liked and he made the decision of just staying friends with both of them no matter how hard it was.

¤-x-¤

"Oi, Allen!" Lavi nudged him in the ribs but got no response. He gave Kanda a puzzled look before nudging Allen again. "Allen-babe?"

"Guess I won." Came Kanda's voice from behind Lavi. "The kid's out."

"You're right." The redhead leaned back against the wall with his hands behind his head and left the sleeping boy alone.

Kanda put away his half-full bottle of liquor as he saw no more reason in drinking it when the competition was over and didn't want a hangover worse than needed. He covered his face with his left hand and closed his dark eyes, he sighed as he felt the headache coming. He blamed the stupid rabbit and idiot bean sprout for tricking him into drinking too much.

While the dark-haired teen cursed his friends the redhead was glancing at the snoozing boy. His visible green eye had never seen the boy in that way before, when he was sleeping he appeared so peaceful almost… cute? Lavi got up and crawled a little closer to get a better look. He looked pale against his white hair except of the small blush that still tainted his cheeks. The redhead sighed and smiled to himself before taking a firm grip around the younger boy to lift him up on Kanda's bed, after all he couldn't just leave him sleeping like that he would get an aching back and maybe even a cold.

The owner of the bed looked up when he heard the creaking sound of someone laying down on it.

"Oi, what are you doing?" He was too tired to sound mad.

"Placing Allen-chan on your bed." Lavi replied matter-of-factly. "I can't let him sleep like tha-"

He was cut off by Kanda. "I can see what you're doing but why? Take him to his own bed."

"Neither of us can carry him that far in this condition. Face it: we're too drunk and we could drop him."

"Tch." He looked away annoyed knowing that the stupid rabbit had a point. What he didn't know was that Lavi only had one beer that night which actually made it easy for him to carry Allen pretty much anywhere.

Lavi stroke some hair from Allen's sleeping eyes and confirmed that the boy was cute. Maybe he could steal a little kiss from Sleeping Beauty? He leaned in closer until he could feel the steady breathings touching his face. Suddenly he heard the familiar sound of Mugen being unsheated and froze in his actions.

"What are you doing to the bean sprout?" Hissed Kanda like he'd never been tired.
