Life with those two was always unpredictable. One second Kanda would be growling at Allen for doing something, and the next he would be on the floor with a cheerful silverett sitting on his chest laughing.

Allen just wasn't the kind of person to quake in fear because of Kanda's rudeness.

Lavi had figured this out easily.

…..xXx…..

"Yuu!" Lavi yelled as he flung open the door of his best friend's house. "Yuu my love, where are thou?" An irritable sigh from the kitchen answered his question, and skipping in, he saw his beloved Kanda sitting at the large table, a small pale thing across from him.

"Hello!" The girl... boy? chirped and Lavi took that time to study the specimen. White hair of medium length circled the round and childlike face. Big silver eyes stared at him; framed by white eyelashes, so thick they were obviously notable. Small pink lips in a slight pout completed the picture of innocence, or at least it did until the thing tilted its head to one side, revealing a red scar over the left eye. Then Lavi, to put it frank, lost it.

"Yuu! Get back! I vow I will protect you from this retched beast, this son of Satan! Do not fear! Knight Lavi is hither!" With that the gallant red-head pulled out a rather oversized hammer and ran at Allen, wielding the black metal tool with fearsome potency.

But alas, he was soon stopped with a rather cruel punch in the cheek, and he fell to the floor with a resounding crack. Kanda rubbed his fist, a smug smile imprinting into the usually scowling demeanor, as Allen watched with wide eyes.

"Moyashi, this is Baka Usagi. Baka Usagi, this is Moyashi. Moyashi is my bodyguard, now don't try to mess with my property again, or I will do more than hit you, you idiot!" Kanda yelled at the partly unconscious man on the floor, the hammer still in his grasp. But in mere seconds, he was back on his feet, the hammer mysteriously gone to who knows where, and his jaw practically to the ground.

"You have a demon, as a bodyguard?" The red-haired man whined, sticking his lower lip out in a pout. "That is so unfair!"

Allen grumbled and stood up from the chair, a scowl starting to form on his lips. "Who are you calling demon?" He asked, a hurt and upset tone evident in his voice. Lavi glanced back over at the boy.

"Oh, sorry. So, your name is Moyashi?" He asked, smiling reassuringly, but stepped back when the boy's face began to turn red.

"NO! My name is Allen! Bakanda decided to call me that stupid nickname. It makes NO SENSE! I am not that small!" Allen yelled, his face still the color or a ripe tomato, and his hands clenched into small fists. Lavi thought for a second and then shook his head.

"Nope, Allen, you are pretty small if you ask me." The boy let out an outraged shriek and stomped off, rather aware of the smirking Kanda watching him leave.

"So, Kanda, where can I get one of those?" Lavi asked and Kanda sighed.

"Look, I never asked for a devil, Hell I never even asked for a seer or bodyguard or whatever it is. It was all Tiedoll." He let out a mumble, which sounded suspiciously like a jumble of curses, then sat back down at the chestnut table. "It has been hell, living with that annoying thing. All it does is complain, eat and sleep. It acts like an animal, and has the manners of one too." Lavi let out a chuckle, and the distraught Kanda glared at him.

"Sorry, just sounds like you have taken a liking to the boy." Lavi answered knowingly.

"I guess I don't mind him, he does make for entertaining company. I consider it more of a business relationship though, and there is no "like" involved here. I get warned of any incoming dangers, and it gets a full belly. Plus, I bet the beansprout is happy to be away from that bastard, Cross. That man, my god." Kanda let out another sigh and put his head down on the cool wood. "I just am stressed right now, you know. I don't even have the energy to cut you up into little usagi pieces right now. But if you are still here in five seconds, I will have to rethink that." Lavi let out a nervous giggle, and then immediately made a run for the door.

"See you tomorrow!" He called and Kanda groaned rather loudly. This only brought a fond smile to Lavi's lips.

…..xXx…

Almost daily the red-headed rabbit would show up at Kanda's door, usually with his hammer safely tucked away. And almost daily Allen would watch as his face would be smashed in after he tried to embrace Kanda.

Allen soon realized that Lavi also had a rather... eccentric attitude, an affectionate personality too.

Daily Allen's cheeks would be pinched, nose would be grabbed and a full body very awkward hug would occur often. Kanda found the embarrassed blush that would stain Allen's cheeks very entertaining, causing the boy to both growl and leap at the man, or for the white haired boy to stomp off angrily.

Lavi also noticed the small gestures the two always made towards each other. The fighting, the yelling, even the violence seemed more for; dare he say, fun rather than pain. Why, he could go far enough to infer that it may have been Kanda's way of, flirting?

Of course, when that tidbit was suggestion, once in the privacy of the kitchen, it resulted in a bloody nose and a cracked rib. Allen had come running, but neither man would tell him what had transpired. This made the topic of Kanda's sexual preferences almost nonexistent. Allen was under the impression the man was asexual. Judging by his feminine hair, but manly posture, he really didn't seem to suit either the straight or gay bracket.

But, it really wasn't like Allen cared, hell, women annoyed him and men aggravated him. So Allen liked the bliss with Kanda, the relationship-less relationship. The one where Allen would run through the large house with Kanda's Katana in hand while he was chased furiously by a man in a towel.

Or when Allen had snuck into Kanda's room during the night and got up real close to the man, watching him sleep peacefully. Watching that relaxed, handsome, fearsome warrior sleep made Allen feel a sense of inner peace and happiness with his new life, his life with that easily annoyed man. Which the newfound calm was abruptly shattered when Kanda awoke to find all his clothes missing from his large closet, and only a frilly pink dress remaining.

Allen took great pride in his pranks, and in his teasing. He was one of the only people who could make Kanda blow a gasket, and it was bloody hilarious. A tap on the shoulder, a poke in the back, and slight head tilt would make that vein on the man's forehead even more pronounced. Allen's skill at annoying the man was even greater than Lavi's.

So honestly, Lavi was amazed that Allen was still alive, much less perfectly unharmed. Except for the few scratches and bruises, the boy didn't seem to be a victim of Kanda's rage. And this made Lavi truly consider if there was more than met the eye to these two.

Sure, he snooped around a lot, and sure he had never seen a true "moment" between the two. But some of the small gesture they made to each other really seemed to teeter on that edge.

For example, when Lavi would stay the night, secretly of course, he would notice the two always started their mornings off with a walk in Kanda's vast garden. Allen would sniff the roses and skip through the trees while Kanda would just watch him. If Lavi didn't know better he would say Kanda even sported a fond smile. Then Allen would complain about his "poor stomach's" lack of food, and Kanda would sigh and drag him into the house.

That was the other thing. Kanda seemed to grab Allen a lot. Whether it be a tug on his hand, a grasp on his arm, even once it was the sprout over the shoulder; it was still rather unheard of. Kanda was one to hate physical contact, and even with the way he proclaimed his disgust for Allen, he sure didn't become bothered by getting close to the boy.

Lavi of course had exhausted the possibility of them being together, like that. For it was one thing for Kanda to like the appearance of someone, but a totally different thing for the inside to be liked as well. And that small thing took time, much more time than the two had been acquainted.

At first, Lavi had also doubted the "powers" of the boy. Bodyguard, the sprout?

But when Allen, Kanda and Lavi were out scoping the market on a particularly sunny day, the inevitable happened. Kanda was attacked.

But this time, instead of Kanda getting his hands bloody and coming out with collateral damage, Allen had stopped it. Right behind Kanda a man had snuck up, what looked like a large ax over his shoulder, and as he went to swing right at Kanda's head, he was stopped. The man just seemed to fall over. But a closer look revealed a metal box in Allen's hand.

Turns out the sprout had been concealing darts all day, and once again Lavi was speechless, all because of that boy.

And Lavi learned the hard way not to challenge Allen to a game of poker. It had ended with a very upset bunny walking home with only a pair of boxers, not even his headband left. The boxers probably would have been lost too; if Lavi hadn't made a run for it once Allen had turned to shuffle the cards. This assured Lavi that the boy was indeed a child of Satan.

Now Lavi was more than nervous. He had been seeing his grandfather's business partner's daughter for a while now. Her name, Lenalee Lee, and wow was she a beauty.

Black hair with a green undertone shone brightly, reflecting the overhead stars no matter what time of day. And her big eyes, plump lips and button nose made Lavi just blush thinking about his fair maiden. And now it was time to introduce her to his "best friends". She was excited, humming a tune as she stared out the carriage window while Lavi just fiddled with his hands.

Kanda knew Lavi was bringing a date for dinner. Allen knew Lavi was bringing a date for dinner. The two evilest, sneakiest, menacing people on the earth knew that LAVI was bringing a girl that he liked to dinner. This was just asking for a disaster to happen.

Finally the dark castle came in view, and as they pulled to a stop Lavi escorted his lady out of the carriage. She looked up at the castle with wide eyes, and then gave him a reassuring look.

That was until a scream came from the gardens, and out of the hedge rushed a small boy with a shock of white hair and Kanda's hair-tie held over his head triumphantly. After him came a furious Japanese man with long hair streaming behind him, his sword out and pointed at the boy.

Allen set his sight on Lavi and jumped onto the red-head, not noticing the quiet lady standing next to his friend.

"Lavi! Save me! Kanda is going to shop me into little pieces then dump me in the river!" Allen cried, trying to get behind Lavi as Kanda came closer and closer.

But right as his sword was in stabbing distance, a miracle happened. Kanda fell to the ground holding his head and yelling loudly. And standing above him was Lavi's quiet and polite date, a clipboard, the offending weapon, in hand and a frown on her beautiful face.

"What the hell? Kanda?!"
