'this has got to be a dream…there's no way… he's so…'

Allen's mind raced with thoughts but he was soon distracted by the sensation of a warm hand running through his hair and the cold alley wall on his back. Lavi pressed his body against Allen's as he deepened the kiss, encouraging allen to take some control. Allen could feel Lavi's hand at his waist and his other slide down his face to cup his cheek.

Allen started to feel something in his stomach, an ache? A tickle? No…it was more like, sheer pleasure. He finally responded to Lavi's signals by moving his arms around his neck and entangling his hands in his fiery hair, pressing his head closer so he could deepen the kiss even more.

Allen's heart leapt as he felt Lavi's tongue brush against his lips. He could admit it, he was new at all of this. He's never kissed someone on the cheek, let alone the mouth.

Allen opened his mouth hesitantly and jumped when he felt lavi's tongue move into his mouth. The feeling that Lavi was causing made allen give a soft moan, he legs shaking and barely keeping him up. Allen made no move as he let Lavi do as he wished, the feeling was amazing, but soon everything stopped and lavi pulled back from him. He gave a soft giggle as allen tried to follow his lips to continue the kiss.

Allen looked at him curiously as lavi gave his signature smirk.

"Allen, you're shaking…" he gave a small laugh and cupped allen's face "you don't have to rush for me ."

Allen, expecting another kiss closed his eyes and moved forward, but his eyes shot open as he felt Lavi's lips on his neck, placing small butterfly kisses here and there. Allen tilted his head to the side to give Lavi more room as a loud gasp escaped his lips. Allen's hands gripped Lavi's hair tight as Lavi nipped his skin and caused a small welt to appear. Lavi quickly eased the pain by smoothing over the skin with his tongue.

Allen threw his head back as lavi's name escaped his lips. But before allen could encourage lavi anymore with his soft noises, the familiar buzzing sound of his eye activating stopped any more sounds from escaping him. allen could feel the blood lust emanating from the akuma like it was the one on top of him instead of Lavi. Allen pushed lavi away a little and lavi saw that his eye had been activated…

"damn, why now of all tim…"

"WELL WASN'T THAT ABSOLUTELY DISCUSTING!"

Allen and lavi jumped apart, allen activating his arm while lavi pulled out his hammer and held it ready next to him. Further down in the dark ally, hidden by the shadows, an akuma was sitting, watching them without attacking. This akuma was a Level 2, machine form. It looked like a snake, poised to strike with a face that resembled that of a woman's. It spoke in a feminine tone which caused a sense of innocence among its obviously devious figure.

"and here when I thought I had you humans figured out," the akuma sneered "I see two males making out!! HA! Exorcists…the army of God? Don't make me laugh!"

Allen jumped at the akuma, determined to end its existence quickly and get back with lavi, but the akuma dove towards allen and punched him into the ground which shattered at the strength.

"Allen!!!" lavi called as he sprinted to where his comrade was. Allen was partly covered in rubble, but a simple hit like that wasn't enough to take away his consciousness. Allen looked towards their target. The akuma had been able to fly high in the air, in other words, out of his range.

"Don't worry moyashi, it's all mine." Lavi swung his hammer above his head, the seals appearing when commanded.

"Heaven seal!! Violent Thunder!"

As Lavi hit the ground with his hammer, clouds began to form quickly form over their heads, and, what seemed like a split second, lightning shot out from the clouds heading straight for the akuma.

With surprising speed, the akuma slithered through the air as the metallic body avoided the direct attack which crashed with a loud explosion to the ground. The akuma streaked toward the ground with such speed that it almost became invisible, swiftly grabbing allen in a tight metallic grip. The akuma swung its massive tail at Lavi but Lavi was able to avoid it by putting his hammer between him and the deadly attack. The defensive move was enough to save lavi from instant death, but he was sent flying into a building, its foundation collapsing around him.

"Lavi!!!!" allen called as he struggled to get out of the akuma's strong grip. All the strength that he had to fight seemed to drain out of him as he watched the building crumble to ruins on top of his friend, his love.

"oh no!" laughed the akuma "looks like I may have hurt your little boyfriend. Maybe if I'm lucky," the akuma got close to whisper into allen's ear "I killed him"

This thought seemed to wrack allen's body the most. He felt his spine tingle, his limbs go numb, and his heart ache, like something was ripped from it and thrown into the fire.

Then, anger hit allen like a speeding train. Why was God so cruel to him? Finally, he has something important to him and he finally has it all to himself, and its ripped away from him.

His eyes grew red, his left arm pulsed with the searing hatred that he didn't think was possible in any human. Allen's body grew hot, too hot for the akuma to hold as he let out a yelp and released allen from his clutch.

Allen landed gracefully on the ground only to jump high into the air, a murderous intent towards the akuma pulsing in his veins. Seeing allen coming, the akuma flew high into the air and out of the mad exorcist's reach.

Allen stalked the ground like a wild animal, trying to figure out any way to get to his prey. He looked up again, the akuma was nervous, looking at allen's every movement. Perhaps the akuma could sense how much allen loathed him now.

Allen continued to look at the akuma, when suddenly, dark, ominous clouds began to form over its head. The akuma didn't seem to notice as his fear of allen attacking him held his full attention. Allen could hear rubble moving, groans of pain, and then the voice that he longed to hear. The anger slowly ebbed away from his core.

"HEAVEN SEAL! VIOLENT THUN-"

"niko! To me!"

The akuma vanished before the deadly lightning struck. The akuma reappeared at the end of the alleyway, next to a very feminine figure. The lighting's bright strike barely revealed the figure, but allen could see a pair of piercing blue eyes through the darkness.

"I thought I told you not to fight them yet. You'll ruin everything for master."

"I'm sorry my lady!!! I'm so so so sorry."

"no matter" she glanced towards allen and then glanced towards the crumbled building where a red-head was trying to uncover himself. "hmm, why did you have to damage the cute one… oh well, let's go."

"yes ma'am" in a quick flash, both figures were gone.

Allen ripped his gaze away from the alleyway entrance and turned towards his struggling friend. Lavi was bleeding, badly, and it looked like he had broken some bones. Lavi continued to push large pieces of rubble off of his bruised body, his life saving hammer still in hand.

Allen used his arm to move the large pieces of rubble that were slowly crushing Lavi's limbs. His legs looking particularly abused struggled to move as Lavi attempted to rise. As he began to get up, Lavi's legs gave out on him and he began to fall, only to be supported by Allen who took most of Lavi's body weight. Lavi sighed, grateful that allen was there to help him.

"Aw, thanks allen. Don't know what I'd do if you weren't here."

Lavi grinned and giggled softly to himself, happy that both of them were okay, but soon stopped when he heard an almost silent sob coming from the smaller boy.

"allen?"

Lavi looked at allen who had his head bent down, obviously trying to avoid having lavi see his face. Lavi used his one good arm and reached towards allen's chin, turning it to face his own. Allen had tears streaming down his face, his eyebrows knitted together in despair. His eyes were glassy and bubbly with emotion.

"La-Lav-i…" allen barely mumbled the word through his sobs. His body wracked in shivers "I thought…I thought I lost you!!"

With that last word, allen's legs also gave out causing both him and lavi to fall to their knees. Allen covered his face with his hands as he desperately tried to cover his face from lavi's piercing stare and wipe away the tears that were streaming down his face.

Lavi gazed at Allen with full admiration. Seeing allen now, he was fully reminded how old allen was. The scene in front of him looked like a small child crying over a toy he had lost, trying to be an adult about it but incapable of stopping tears from falling. His vision began to get fuzzy but he continued to look at allen. Lavi raised his hand to cup his comrade's cheek. Allen dropped both his hands from his face when he felt the warmth of his partner's hand. Lavi's thumb wiped away the stray tears that continued to fall and he moved closer to allen, love evident in his eyes.

"Don't worry allen," lavi breathed shallowly as his vision began to go black "I promise I will never disappear…"

Lavi kissed allen softly but all his energy seemed to be drained out of him as his vision completely blacked out and his body went limp. Lavi fell from allen's lips to land in his lap, like a small child who fell asleep on his mother.

Allen looked down at Lavi, brushing stray hairs out of his face and brushing his fingers softly against his blood stained face. He couldn't describe the feelings he had for the older teen. But allen continued to star at lavi, even when one final single tear fell from his cheek and landed on lavi's lips.
