That night, Allen slept with tear-stained cheeks.

He couldn't sleep. Another month? A WHOLE OTHER MONTH?!"

True, Allen might have just been melodramatic….but his heart felt like it was ripped
from his chest.

He had met his Prince Charming only for him to ride back into the horizon without
him.

Allen couldn't sleep AT ALL. He got up and put a cloak on over his kimono.

Hopefully no one would catch him sneaking out. He just wanted to see the
moonlight. It might lull him to sleep.

Allen slowly slid the front doors open, walking into the rolling lush garden of the
Miyabita Okiya.

-----

Kanda had been wandering all night. He didn't know what to do with himself. He
couldn't stop thinking about how he won't be able to meet that…that captivating
boy for another month.

It was…hard to believe and set into his mind. He always took walks to clear his
thoughts.

-----

Allen sighed and gazed into the full moon. It was sure lovely. Too bad he won't be
seeing it for a while…

He'd be too busy entertaining guests.

His kimono gracefully followed behind him in the soft night air. It caressed his face
and made him feel so safe…

-----

Kanda walked along the paved pathway. It was cold, but he didn't mind. He'd
been through worse.

Like that annoying Lavi. Kanda scowled. That idiot.

-----

Allen sighed and whispered aloud, "Why does the moon have more freedom than I
do?"

Tears filled his eyes. He couldn't take it.

His life was always controlled by people around him…

He hadn't chosen this path. He was set on it and expected to walk.

-----

Kanda paused for a second to look at the pale moon. It was graceful in all its glory.

It reminded him of a certain pair of eyes…

-----

A single tear rolled down the pale face of Allen Walker.

It wasn't fair…it just wasn't fair…he missed his parents.

Whom-he had never met before. But they must've at least been nice people right?

Nice people who gave him away…

-----

Kanda stared coldly at the grass when he heard familiar rustling.

-----

Allen gasped softly and paused…had he heard something?

-----

The two looked up in moderate surprise.

"K-Kanda-sama…"

A kiss from the prince.
