Sooo, three chapters, one day. Wow. Just a heads up, this might not be updated so quickly next time. I'm in first year uni, so I've got exams now. Thanks for those who are following and reviewing, it's a real confidence boost ^_^
This chapter is mostly fluff. I'm actually considering a lemon later on, but I need to find a good transition.
AN - Again, don't own -man. They belong to Katsura Hoshino.
Kanda moves the towel in circles over the mirror, removing any steam left over from his shower. Toweling himself off, he slipped into fresh, clean clothes, tied his hair into his usual ponytail, turned and placed his hand on the doorknob. Pausing for a moment before turning the handle, Kanda inhaled deeply before slowly opening the door, so as not to scare the tiny kitty currently residing in his room. After easing into the room, Kanda took notice of the small white lump rising slowly up and down with even breaths. Stepping closer, it was blatantly obvious to him that the little guy was asleep. Kanda watched him for a moment with a small smile on his lips, thinking, but never saying, how adorable his little pet looked. He would have lingered a moment longer, but a low growl broke the stillness. Kanda's eyes widened momentarily before relaxing. Simple really. The little animal was hungry. Chuckling lightly, Kanda decided it was time for a meal for both of them.
Silently, so as not to disturb him, Kanda slipped from the room and shut the door behind him soundly. Turning on his heels, Kanda strode down the halls of the Order towards the cafeteria, debating what to feed the cat. He honestly didn't know much about them, just what he'd read in stories, but he figured the cat wouldn't object to a piece of fish and a bowl of water. Arriving in the cafeteria, he was met with unusual stares and odd glances. His dark aura sent most of the finders running in the opposite direction, but he figured they had a good reason. It wasn't every day that the infamous Yu Kanda ordered raw salmon.
"Here ya are Hon", came Jerry's voice interrupting his thoughts, "Soba and salmon."
"Thanks." Kanda murmured, taking both plates and heading for the door
"Odd order Hon. What cha' doin' with the fish?" Jerry questioned curiously.
"Nothing." was Kanda's instant reply turning around. Jerry's smirk grew wider; Kanda answered that question a little too quickly "Where's the bean?" Kanda asked, hoping to get off that particular topic. Normally, the white-haired exorcist would be shoveling down seventh helpings of everything.
"Not in I'm afraid." said Jerry with some sorrow in his voice. Kanda smirked. Figures. Allen ate everything, and Jerry loved to cook for the idiot. No Allen, no happy Jerry. "If you see Allen, send him down!" Jerry called after Kanda's retreating back.
"Fine." Kanda called back. Typically he would have told the person to shut up. But then again, this was Jerry. Pissing him off could mean disaster for one's stomach contents. Besides, like he would ever tell the moron that. Lately, all they did was bicker, scrap, bitch, argue, and fight about everything. Sighing, Kanda balanced both dishes on one of his arms and turned the handle of the door with the other.
Allen felt his ears twitch at the sound of a footsteps outside a door. Blinking, Allen glanced around the room. Kanda's room. Allen gulped. For now, he operated under the assumption that Kanda didn't know who his little kitty was, based on the fact that Allen was not currently thrown out of the room by the scruff of his neck. Glancing over the edge of the bed, Allen could tell that it was quite a drop. Not looking for the second fall of the day, Allen paced the bed, looking for anything he could use to lower himself down.
His thoughts were disturbed by the sound of the door opening. Snapping his head up, he was greeted by the sight of Kanda carrying his typical late of Soba, and a plate that smelt oddly of...
Fish!
Allen's mouth instantly salivated. He was starving. Chuckling, Kanda lowered the plate onto the bed and watched as the tiny creature pounced on the meal, wasting no time in devouring it. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, Kanda tucked into his own plate of food, keeping the cat in his peripheral vision as they both ate in comfortable silence.
Finishing his plate first, Allen licked his delicate nose clean of fish. Glancing at the edge of the bed, he noticed Kanda eating his own meal, his legs crossed and his back was facing Allen propped up against the bed frame. Making his way over to Kanda, Allen's nose came up to the top of Kanda's ponytail. Feeling brave and mischievous, Allen placed is front paws on the top of Kanda's head an hoisted himself fully onto the top of Kanda's head. When Allen felt the man below him shift, he felt his heart stop for a moment.
Oh shit - was essentially the first thought in Allen's head. He knew it was a stupid idea, but it was a once in a lifetime chance. He couldn't just pass it up. His fear escalated when the soba bowl was placed on the floor and Allen saw a long-fingered calloused hand reaching up to meet his lithe little body.
"What are you doing?" came tone of voice he did not expect to hear from Kanda. It wasn't the usual demanding and demeaning tone Allen usually got whenever he did something to Kanda. This tone was kind, gentle, and held a smile and a joke. He gently lifted the tiny kitty down into his arms, where he began rubbing Allen's ears and head. Feeling the bravery come back into his body, Allen rolled himself in Kanda's arms, exposing his belly. Snorting in laughter, Kanda complied, moving his fingers over the soft fur of the neko's belly. Allen purred in contentment, it was pure bliss! He had eaten, slept, was getting pampered, and Kanda wasn't yelling insults at him. On the contrary, he was treating him like royalty. Heaven, pure heaven.
"Nice work Allen." Komui mused, walking around his now organized office, courtesy of Allen Walker. Slipping into his chair, Komui propped his feet on the desk and breathed a sigh of relief. Now Reever will get off my back, thought Komui happily, giggling like a school girl. Happy as he was, Komui couldn't help but feel that there was something amiss in his office. Glancing at the clean floor Komui noticed a glimmer. Small, but noticeable. Getting up to look at it, Komui saw what was missing. His prized experiment. Gone.
"Allen!"
Review?
