\.Scenarios: I - And We Are./
::xoxox::
Couples, family, and friends glided across the ballroom floor together in unison. Of the many parties, Kanda's attendance at this certain ball was vital, as many important people would be there, and establishing a link with them especially wouldn't hurt. That was Allen's job, he would. However, it pissed him off to see the merry couples dance around so reasonlessly happy. The women were dull and were the type who agreed and giggled at everything you say. Infuriating. The men all flocked to the pretty women and were all the same as well. Embarassing. He'd much rather spend his free time with Allen. He was honestly and truly kind. He lies about his own happiness, but Kanda accepts this--he both loves and hates it. (It's lovely, anyway.) His smiles are bright, even when forced, while his real smiles are mostly reserved for him. He's the only one who can amuse him, with his cute mistakes, embarrassed smiles, and adorable pouts. Even his bad traits were lovable; he was a little selfish (and yet very selfless), he was an evil (yet so good), a conniving little, cheating, gluttoning, did I mention evil--anyway, there was nothing about him not to (both) love (and hate).
Allen of course, loved people. He preferred just the company of the Japanese man, but the people were nice to him. He complemented many of the women with their pretty gowns, and made small talk with them and their spouses, forcing Kanda along with him. Any time he refused to talk, Allen would make up embarrasing lies about him. "BaKanda doesn't flush the toilet. BaKanda likes to lovingly stroke his own hair."
Another man and his wife greeted Kanda. They were dressed extravagantly, not unlike all the rest. The well-tailored suits and blossoming gowns were indeed beautiful, but the people were not. Most were not ugly by any means; just dull. "Greetings again, Sir Kanda. I hope you remember me!" the lady curtsied slightly. The man bowed a little.
Kanda nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
The woman spoke gracefully. "Oh, and who is this beautiful young, umm... lad?"
Allen twitched, a little irritated at her slight pause before determining his gender. Kanda smirked evily, noticing this. "Uhm... It's nice to meet you sir and ma'am. I'm Allen Walker," he replied.
"Oh my, I've always wanted to meet you. You really are as the rumours say--absolutely gorgeous...! Why, you and Sir Kanda seem very close. Out of curiosity, what's your relationship?" the woman asked cheerfully, clinging lightly to her loving husband, who seemed interested as well.
Allen wasn't sure how to respond. He flushed lightly, but he looked at Kanda and then back to them. He never thought too deeply about how Kanda thought of him.
Kanda answered boredly, "he's... my adopted brother."
"Ah, I see!" the man said. However, the woman had seemed a bit disappointed.
Allen stayed quiet after that, but he couldn't stop thinking about it. Kanda seemed to love him indeed, but there are so many different kinds of love. It made his mind spin and wander with sadness, confusion, and uncertainty. Kanda noticed this, of course.
"Oi, listen up moyashi," Kanda said after abruptly stopping while they were walking in the castle gardens, making Allen bump into his back. The taller man turned around.
"It's Allen, you retard..." Allen replied.
"Shut up. And I'm gonna make this very clear." Kanda paused, leaning in closer. "I have never, and never will, see you as.. as a 'brother'. Understood?" Kanda said sternly, unafraid to look into his eyes.
Allen was a bit taken back, but after a slight pause, he replied in a small voice, filled with happiness, "Mhmm, understood."
Kanda turned around, and started walking once again. Allen hid his heated face with his scarf, and from the cold. He was in a daze of bliss.
Later, they made themselves a pot of hot cocoa. Allen thoughtfully used a dark chocolate and peppermint mix for Kanda, since he wasn't too fond of sweet foods. Allen himself had hot white chocolate. Allen burnt his tongue a few times, causing Kanda to call him a loser and snicker at him. They read a Japanese mystery novel together (Allen understood a bit of Japanese, he insisted he'd learn) under blankets next to the fireplace, falling asleep together.
Author's Note: D8 Uwaaaa, sorry for the long-time no update. XD This here is a scene from their childhood. Sorry but it lacks humour. = u=" And... Uh... I hope it's alright. I've had this little interlude for a while. The next chapter is finished. :3 Hmm... When is it best to upload it...?
