Chapter 2
Lenalee had led Allen outside the Black Order, to a small closed off area of grass.
"I didn't know this was here…" Allen gasped as he sat down on a bench, looking up at the clear sky full of stars. He didn't seem to know much about the order
"This is… where I come to think.. I found it years ago.. no one comes here" Lenalee said quietly sitting next to him
Allen looked at his friend, she was looking up at the stars also, he beauty magnified by the moonlight
"You come here alone…" he muttered, glancing away embarassed
Lenalee blinked and looked at him "yeah, but it's ok…"
Allen frowned worriedly
"Whats wrong?" Lenalee asked
Allen blushed "…it's.. nothing…"
Lenalee tilted her head causing Allen to blush more
"… it's just… i… I don't want you to.. feel alone…"
Lenalee looked at him, smiling
"… you have everyone at the Black Order… and… you have …me…" he continued, looking away, knowing that if he looked at her, his emotions would overwhelm him.
Lenalee's eyes widened
"…and Lavi and Kanda and everyone!" Allan said quickly, realising what he said
Lenalee smiled weakily, a little disappointed "..i know… thankyou Allen"
Allen mentially kicked himself, he seem'd to have made matters worst
Lenalee shook her head and pulled out a little tin from her pocket
"Here Allen, heres the cookies I got for you" she smiled
Allen blinked "..all for me?"
Lenalee opened the tin and took out a biscuit
"Here…"
Allen shyfully took abite of the biscuit in Lenalee's hand…..and his mind exploaded. It was the best cookie he had ever had.
"That… really good!" he beamed
"I'm glad!" Lenalee replied offering the tin.
Allen happily ate the contents quickly whilst Lenalee glanced up at the stars in thought
When Allen had finished, he looked at the girl next to him. In the moonlight, Allen couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was… and she was here… with him, content with his presence
"Allen…. Please don't ever leave us"
Allen blinked twice "What… makes you think I'm going to leave?"
Lenalee shook her head "Nevermind…"
Confused, he raised his hand to her face, making her look at him
"What do you mean?" he asked concerned
Lenalee blushed at the contact "it's going to sound crazy…"
Allen frowned
"…but I had a nightmare… afew nights in a row…"
"About what?" Allen asked
No response
"Lenalee.." Allen said softly
Lenalee looked at him, tears in her eyes, unable to control her emotions "Everyone was dead… everyone in the order was dead… the finders, the science department, all the exorcists, my brother… you… I was left alone…."
Allen's heart skipped a beat. Not only for the crying girl in front of her, but for the fact that she had had the same dream as him…
"Lenalee…i.." he began
"- I don't want to be alone again! i… don't think I could handle it!" she cried, tears spilling down her cheeks
Allen looked at the girl, usually thinking about how strong she was, about how she tried to hide her emotions and it hit him…. She may be a powerful exorcist…but she was also a girl…
Without thinking, Allen leaned foreward and hugged Lenalee. She froze, shocked, tears still trickling down her face
"Lenalee…." Allen began "I promise you, I won't ever leave you alone"
Lenalee relaxed in Allen's arms, she pressed her forehead against his shoulder, crying sliently
"It's ok to cry" he whispered, holding her tight
"…Allen..i.." Lenalee cried
Minutes passed before Lenalee had calmed down
"Are you ok now?" Allen asked, pulling back out of the hug and looking at Lenalee
Tears were still rolling down her cheeks but she nodded
Allen wiped her tears with his thumb, leaving his hand on the side of her face, tenderly
"I'm sorry Allen" Lenalee said glancing away embarrassed. She had never cried like that.
Allen grinned "it's ok… I don't want you to be upset…I care about you"
He blushed immediately after saying it
Lenalee blinked, a little taken aback.
Shyly she leant sidewards into Allen, leaning on his shoulder
"Thankyou….i.. care about you too" she replied, looking down and blushing
Allen gulped. He was nervous, what should he do? Did he move? Or should he say something.
In the end, he simply put his hand around her, bravely hugging her close.
They sat there together for awhile, both content with each others company, neither of them wanting to move.
Allen raised his free arm, his gloved cursed arm, and stared at it… unaware that Lenalee was watching him.
She put her own hand on top of his innocence and smiled. Allen jerked slightly
"Lenalee…?" he muttered
Lenalee just smiled, accepting Allen for who he is, cursed arm and more.
Tears swelled up in his eyes, he quickly blinked them back
"Allen…. This arm was one of the things that brought you here…" she said bravely "and for that I'm grateful…"
Pain shot through Allens chest, this girl accepted him for what he was, only Mana had ever done that
"I'm… lucky" he smiled at her
She tilted her head in confusion
"I always thought..that even though I have friends.. I was always alone.." he replied looking at her, this beautiful strong women, who had accepted him
"Allen?" Lenalee whispered
Allen leant foreward and placed a soft, tender kiss on Lenalee's temple lovingly.
Lenalee blushed madly as Allen put his own forehead against her's
"I don't want us to ever be apart" he muttered to himself, gazing bravely into Lenalee's eyes, their nose's almost touching
Lenalee smiled in return "we wont"
Allen closed the small gap between them, capturing Lenalee's lips with his own, softly.
"..never…"
