One Month
Chapter Two: The Better Alternative
May 2nd, Friday
Kanda and Lenalee laid naked in the latter's bed. Lenalee let out seductive hum. "Kanda, what do you say for round two?" She said, with lust clouded eyes. He was staring off into space with a solemn look on his face. She waved a hand in front of it. She smirked then started licking down his abdomen getting closer to Kanda's covered member. Just before she moved the sheets out of the way for better access Kanda rose from the bed and stared putting his clothes back on. "W-where are you going?"
"Home." He replied shortly. Lenalee watched him with at a loss for words.
"Why? What do you have there? Everything you need is right here." She grabbed onto his sleeve, and he just shrugged her off.
"Look I don't know why you've been so clingy lately. If its going to be like this all of the time, then I don't want you. Plus, whether I'm divorcing Allen or not, I still have a daughter at home."
"Don't say that! We're in love, I'm just.. I'm just jealous of your husband right now. You've been getting closer and leaving me out. I don't know what to do." Her eyes watered a bit and she tried to hide it from him. He sat down closer to her.
"Lenalee, I love you. Just bare with this for one month. The way you are handling the situation is not the right way, for now the conditions of the divorce are to act normal. That is all I am doing-acting. There is no need to fuss okay?" He commented, looking straight into her eyes the entire time as he spoke. He may have slipped a little white lie in there somewhere. She smiled at him wiping the tears from her face.
"Alright Kanda. I love you, too." With that, he left her home.
Am I just acting?
*At Home*
Kanda walked in the door silently to find the dining room light on with Allen pacing the floor, with a worried expression on his face. "What are you doing?" He asked. Allen looked up and quickly ran over, relief gracing his features.
"Oh thank God." He threw his arms around his neck. "Where have you been?"
"Out. Our conditions never said I couldn't go out, right?" He replied, avoiding the question's true answer. Suddenly, Allen froze and backed away from him.
"You- You smell nice Kanda... Well I'm going to bed. Try to be home before one in the morning next time, okay?" He smiled at his husband and made his way down to the bedroom.
"Shit." Kanda mumbled under his breath as he made his way to the shower and washed the scent of Lenalee off of his body.
I'm so stupid. Allen's probably in there, crying himself to sleep. He made his way out of the shower whilst drying himself off. He walked into the room and got dressed, watching the lump on the bed all the while he did so. He felt sincerely guilty for his night time activities now. "Moyashi?" No response, "Allen?" He tried. Said boy turned around and uncovered his face.
"Yes, Kanda?" He replied.
"You alright?"Is he alright? of course he isn't alright, stupid! Kanda didn't know what else to say.
"Can I ask you a question, Kanda?" Allen said quietly after a few moments of silence.
"Sure, Moyashi." The man sent a weak glare towards the black haired male.
"Pretend its eight ears later and you found out Katlyn's boyfriend was cheating on her and hurt her really bad, what would you do?" As smart as Kanda is; he didn't connect the situations at hand.
"I would beat the shit out of him." He said, "But hopefully we won't have to worry about boyfriends because she will not have one until she's forty." Allen smiled a little at his protectiveness over her.
"Then why?" He asked looking down at his pillow.
"Why what?" Kanda asked, extremely confused at this point.
"Why are you cheating on me? You only have to wait a month yet your still doing it!" Allen started crying softly. Kanda stood there, in his pajamas, at loss for words. He hated seeing his Moyashi cry like this, but he knew he could do nothing to stop it. He crawled in the bed and pulled the cover over him. "Well, are you going to answer me?" He sat up, tears streaming down his face. "Kanda where did we go wrong? I still love you with all of my heart, what did I do? I-I'll change if that's what you want!" Kanda sat up and pulled and pulled him into his arms. At first he resisted, but he soon caved in and sobbed openly into Kanda's chest.
"I don't know, Allen." he said, inaudibly to the other. *
The Next Day*
May 3rd, Saturday
Allen woke up curled into Kanda's arms. It was nice and warm. He noticed that the older male was sitting upright and had his head leaning uncomfortably on the head frame of the bed. "Kanda." Allen whispered. "Hey, wake up." He shook the back haired man but he still didn't wake up.
How long did I keep him awake?
He look over at the clock.
9:30 am
Allen pulled himself out of his arms and put him down in a more comfortable position. He kissed the top of Kanda's head and made his way to Katlyn's room. She was sprawled across her bed, well half off her bed anyways. He giggled quietly at his daughter. Allen then made his way into the kitchen and pulled out the pancake mix and bacon. "Good breakfast for a busy day." He hummed quietly to himself as he prepared the meal. Thirty minutes later Katlyn stumbled through the door way in her spongebob pajamas. Her hair was messily tied into a high ponytail. "Morning sunshine."
"Morning Papa." She sniffed the air and was suddenly wide awake. "Pancakes?!" He giggled as he turned completely around balancing three plates in his two hands.
"You guessed it." He winked at her. "Well I'm going to go wake your Daddy up." He started down the hall.
"Daddy's home?!" She said excitedly.
"Yes. So be a big girl and finish your food. Then I want you to go get your swimsuit on okay?" He continued walking after she nodded in agreement. Allen made his way into the bedroom. Upon arrival he couldn't contain his laughter. There lay Kanda laying halfway off the bed just like Katlyn. Allen walked over to his sleeping form. "Kanda, wake up." Allen said crouching down next to the bed. He brushed the hair out of Kanda's face. "Come on, we've got a busy day ahead of us, you can't sleep all day." He planted a kiss on his forehead. Kanda awoke and then groaned, pulling Allen onto the bed. "K-kanda!" Allen squeaked, blushing.
"Mnmwhat?" He mumbled sleepily.
"Can you please get up?" At that he opened his eyes slowly.
"Moyashi, why are you on top of me? It's too early in the morning for that." He let out a yawn. Allen held in his laughs. "Sorry, I'll try not to be sucked in by your gorgeous body this early in the morning next time."
"Yeah, that's a god idea.." Kanda then fell back onto the bed.
"Nope! Mister you're getting up right now! We have pancakes and bacon on the table and you need to get dressed. We're going to the lake today, remember?" Allen said as he dragged him back up. He lifted his dead weight off the bed.
"Don't wanna." He said tiredly.
"Would you really let Katlyn down like that? She's already in her swim suit and everything." At that, Kanda walked over to the dresser and pulled out midnight blue shorts. He stripped completely and put them on. Meanwhile Allen stood in the corner blushing madly. He then mumbled something about 'no modesty' and changed into his own green shorts facing the other way. Kanda let out a sleepy chuckle. He walked up behind Allen and scooped him up in his arms, earning a surprised scream. "You scared me."
Kanda just smirked. He noticed that Allen was easier to carry today. Allen leaned into his hold. They made their way into the dining room to see Katlyn finishing up her last piece of bacon.
"Papa, you're not a princess today!" She pouted.
"And why not dear?" Allen asked from his position in Kanda's arms.
"Silly Papa, princesses don't wear swim shorts!" Kanda chuckled at her reasoning while he let Allen down.
"I guess you're right, that means you're the princess today! Kanda?" Kanda, understanding, lifted Katlyn high into the air. The two male sat down for breakfast while the eight year old tried to fix the straps on her purple one piece. Ten minutes later Allen was in Kanda's arms again as they headed towards the door. Letting him down at the door way, Allen hopped out of Kanda's arms and ran to the driver's side.
"I'm driving!" He stated cheerfully and Kanda threw him the keys. They all piled into the car for another family trip.
"At the Lake*
Kanda sighed contentedly. There was only two other families there and it was peacefully quiet, with only the sound of his family splashing in the water. He sat in the grass meditating while Allen and Katlyn played in the water. He loved the lake. It was so much better than the beach. He didn't know why Lenalee had always insisted on going to the busiest parts of he beach; it irritated him to no end to hear a bunch of people yelling. He was glad that Allen and Katlyn knew that the lake was the better alternative. It was suddenly very quiet. He opened his eyes to see that no one was in the water. The only people in sight was the other families.
"Katlyn? Moyashi?" He called out. No response. He stood up worried. "Allen, Katlyn?! Where are you guys?" He started frantically looking out on the water when suddenly his felt a ton of water being poured over his head. He turned around to see Katlyn holding a bucket and laughing while Allen was rolling on the ground. "That wasn't funny! You guys had me worried!" He said.
"S-sorry Daddy!" She said in between laughs. "It was Papa's idea." Katlyn pointed a finger at said man. Kanda gave him a scolding look. He stood up and walked over to the taller male.
"I'm sorry, Kanda." He said, still laughing so hard that his lungs were beginning to hurt. "We were only playing a practical joke-" He was interrupted by a fit of coughs. They got harder and harder.
"Hey Moyashi, you alright?" A hint of worry made its way into Kanda's voice. He laid a hand on Allen's back.
"I'm.. fine." He then covered his mouth wile coughing. They slowed down a bit and finally subsided.
"Did you choke or what?" Kanda asked, worry now evident in his voice. Allen kept his hand over his mouth because he felt the warm liquid seeping out of his mouth.
"I accidentally bit the inside of my mouth. How bad is it?" He lied. He removed his hand and Kanda and Katlyn gasped a the blood running out of Allen's mouth.
"Moyashi this looks like old blood. Are you okay?" He said wiping the blood from Allen's mouth with a towel.
"Yeah, I just bit my cheek is all. You're imagining things. I need to sit down." Saying that he sat down. "You two go play in the water okay?" Hesitantly, Kanda nodded and led Katlyn out to the lake. Allen just stared at them with a sad expression. "I'm sorry." He whispered as he watched them swim around.
