A week had passed and it went too slow for my liking, but at least I was happy that I could spend it with my friends after school and I was happy that Kanda visited for some time. I wasn't alone anymore and I could finally leave a normal life, but I still had my nightmares, more often now. Sometimes, they seemed very vivid and real, but I always woke up from them, assuring me that they were just dreams. They scared me, at times, I would feel the wounds that I got in the dreams as if I had them on my body. Kanda was still in them, I want to ask him why, but I'm afraid he'll think I'm crazy that I am dreaming of him. I wish I could talk to someone about these dreams, someone hat could comfort me if I started to cry, I tell Timcanpy, but he can't hug me.
I haven't seen the crimson-haired man again, not that I want to, he was creepy. Coming and going in and out my room like that. I sighed and stood up from the bed and head to the bathroom, undressing as I walked towards it, to take a shower. It was Friday and it was going to be an early-release day. Yesterday Kanda told me he was taking me out to the zoo with our friends, I couldn't reject. It has been a long tome since I have been to the zoo and what better than to spend it with friends. I asked Kanda if I could invite a couple of friends. At first he seemed hesitant, I guess he was surprised that I had other friends, but he agreed. I called them last night and they said they were going to meet up with us at the zoo. I can't wait, I hope today goes by faster than the rest of the week.
After getting dried up and dressed, I made my way downstairs to eat some cereal and a sandwich, I know weird combination to eat for breakfast, but I like eating this in the mornings when I have time before going to school. On the weekends, you can say I have a feast, in all three meals of the day. I smiled at the thought of having another one of those feasts for dinner. When I finished eating, I heard a beep from a car outside, I smiled once more knowing Kanda was here to pick me up, he had been doing so all week. I went to the door and slipped on my shoes and grabbed my backpack and keys and walked out locking the door beside me and as I turned around I saw Kanda already in the passenger's door holding it open. I smiled shyly at him, he was such a gentlemen, if he has a girlfriend, I don't doubt that he doesn't since he has such good looks, she was very lucky. Truth be told, I was jealous, but I knew how to hide, I'm an expert in hiding my emotions. I walked over and got in, after he closed it he came to the other getting back in as well.
Our rides were always quiet except for the gentle breeze of the early fall and the soft and gentle music playing in the background. Kanda seemed to love classical music, not that I'm complaining, I have started to like it too. I leaned my head back, closing my eyes, and letting out a relaxing sigh, I loved this feeling of peacefulness and I really liked it that I felt this with Kanda. I felt eyes on me and I turned over to look at the Kanda which he looking at me with those beautiful blue almost black eyes, I could get lost in them. He looked back towards the road after a while of just looking into each other's eyes and I had to look out the window to keep him fro noticing the blush rising in my cheeks. Even though I could hide my feelings, I wasn't a stranger to them and I knew that I had fallen in love with Kanda, even though it had only been a short while since I met him.
I pressed my hot cheek against the cold window, willing the blush to disappear before he looked at me again. I knew Kanda didn't like me like I liked him, I was only a friend in his eyes, but I was okay with that, as long as I could be near him in every chance possible that was given to me. I could see the school building now and I was a bit disappointed that our ride couldn't be longer. As we got closer, I saw Lenalee and Lavi waiting at the front of the doors waiting for us like they always did. Kanda parked and we both got and I grabbed my backpack placing it over my chest and shoulder as we walked up to our waiting friends. Lavi suddenly swung his arm around my shoulders "Good Morning, Moyashi-chan" he said happily and Allen responded by blushing lightly and saying "Ohayō, Lavi-ku." Lavi laughed as a light growl was heard from the direction of Kanda and Lenalee spoke up, "Well lets go inside to the library, while we wait for class to start" she walked in and made her to the library with the boys in tow.
-After School/Kanda's POV-
All of the kids were going wild as the exited the school, it seems they're were all anxious to get at out as Kanda, Lavi, Lenalee, and Allen were. Lenalee and Lavi went to Lavi's car while Kanda and Allen made their way to Kanda's car, they had planned to go to a buffet first to get something to eat. At first their plan was to go to a fast food restaurant, but then they heard the loud growl of Allen's stomach which made their sweat drop and Allen blush deeply in embarrassment. Kanda normally wouldn't have a problem with this, but having to pay to fill their stomach was bothersome to no need. True, he had money from saving it over the years and the good jobs he had worked in, he wasn't anywhere near to poor, but it was just bothersome. As they reached the restaurant it took everything in Allen's control to not jump out of the car, he was so excited to be going to a buffet for the first time to comfort his stomach.
When they parked and got out of the car, he dragged Kanda to the door, Lavi and Lenalle snickering behind them. When they got in the smell of all the food was too much for Allen, he got in a running position to go the bars of food, but suddenly an arm enclosed around his waist and a strong chest press against his back. He blushed deeply when he looked and saw Kanda's face, "Moyashi, the food isn't going anywhere" He smirked as he saw Allen pout cutely and resisted from kissing those lovely lips then let go when he was Allen wouldn't make a run for it. A waitress came up to them and led them to a booth then asked for what were they were going to drink which they all ordered water. After that, Kanda felt his hair flap behind him and looked towards the direction the air had went and saw Allen getting a plate and filling it up more than it could hold.
He sighed and followed Allen, lightly touching his wrist, "Moyashi, like I said before the food isn't going anywhere" he got another plate and a serving spoon from one of the trays and started putting half of the food Allen had onto the empty plate. "Take these two plates back and you can come again when you finished them" he looked at Allen seeing the place where he had touched his wrist then he looked up when he felt eyes on him and knew Kanda was expecting an answer. He nodded "O-of course Kanda, sorry for rushing" he blushed lightly and looked back down making Kanda smile and ruffle his hair, "It's okay, Moyashi, go back to the table and eat." Allen nodded once more and went back to the table with both plates and Kanda saw Lavi walking towards him "Allen seems a bit more calmed down from the way he was before" he said. Kanda looked towards where Allen went and nodded, "Yeah, before he would have snapped saying he could do whatever he wished to do" Lavi patted his shoulder "Come on lets just get something to eat so we can go to the zoo."
-At The Zoo-
We made our way to the entrance and Allen had been looking all around since we got here, "I wonder what he is thinking about" I thought as Allen smiled brightly when he spotted two familiar figures. He was shocked, to say the least, "How can they be here... And be the friends Moyashi had talked about." Kanda couldn't comprehend it, if they were friends, then that means that they met before, but why hadn't they attacked him or killed him for that matter. Not that he wanted them to kill Allen, but it was strange that they were in a friendly bases when at first Mikk wanted to kill the Moyashi.
Lavi went up to him and whispered in his ear "Are those two the ones I think they are?" I nodded not really paying attention to him then Mikk looked at us. He seemed surprised then he put a fake smile on his face, I felt disgusted and walked over to them. "Is this the friends you invited, Moyashi?" I saw pout adorably, "My name is Allen and yes, these are my friends. Tyki, Rhode, this is Kanda." Tyki and Kanda stared at it each neither of them moving to pretend to greet themselves, suddenly there was a sound of a throat clearing and Lenalee stepped up front. "Hi, I'm Lenalee," she faked a smile and shook Tyki's hand then shook Rhode's. "Come on, lets go buy the tickets" she spoke once more and Allen smiled broadly. "Hai! Lets go get them!" He ran to the ticket booth not noticing the murderous atmosphere and Kanda glared at Tyki before going after the Moyashi.
After they bought there tickets, Allen looked at the map and looked for an animal he wanted to see. After he found it he ran to the section of the kangaroos and had everyone chasing after him. The only one who seemed to be enjoying it was Allen himself and Rhode, since they were racing to get there first. These happened to every animal they went too. Allen and Rhode would choose and animal to go see, then race to the animals. It has been two and a half hours of this and even if they were used to running from there time in the Organization, that was the past they hadn't done such strenuous work since then. Now, Kanda, Lenalee, Lavi, and Tyki were all sitting catching there breath from all the running. Allen and Rhode were still running around looking at the animals.
Lavi speaks through his panting "I... I can't believe... they have so much energy... after two hours of running around like that." Kanda just nodds, catching his breath and straightening up not wanting to show anymore weakness and looks at Tyki and takes the chance that Allen isn't here to speak to him. "How do you become Allen's friend?" Tyki looked at Kanda uncaringly and shrugged "I kidnapped him." Kanda stood up immediately and was tugged down by Lavi "Why did you kidnapped him?" Lavi asked. Tyki shrugged once more and looked at Rhode, "I did it for Rhode, but my plan didn't work out like I wanted it to." he sighed and looked down. "What was your plan?" Lenalee asked, and he looked a bit sadly at her. "Rhode doesn't remember anything either, I took Allen because she always seemed interested in him and I thought if they hanged out together she would remeber."
Lenalee nodded in understanding and looked towards Allen and Rhode coming towards them with ice cream cones and talking amiably. "Maybe it will be good for them both." Kanda turned to look at Lenalee like she had grown horns. "What do you mean, Lenalee-chan" Lavi said looking curiously at her. "Well, Allen-kun doesn't remember and neither does Rhode, so if they are together, there is a chance that they will both remember." Kanda crosses his arms as she says this and thinks "Well, she is right, but Allen has us, that's all he needs." he is pulled out of his thoughts as he hears a big splash and a far too familiar yell and a girl laughing. When he looks up he sees Allen in the penguins' pool and a girl leaning over it laughing and trying to pull him out. He frowns and walks over and stands beside the girl extending his arm which reached the Moyashi more than the girl's.
Allen looked at the pale hand in front of him and his gaze traveled up his arm until he saw that beautiful face that was Kanda. A blush tainted his cheeks and looked away as he grabbed his hand and was pulled out of the pool. "You okay, Moyashi-chan?" Lavi asked as he came towards us taking off his sweater. I nod, "Yeah, you don't have to give me your sweater, Lavi-senpai." Lavi grins and wraps the sweater around his shoulders, "Nonsense, Moyashi-chan. We are friends aren't we, besides you are wet, we don't want you to get sick." I smile at him for his kind words and he ruffles my wet hair and I notice Kanda-senpai tense behind me, but only for a bit. It may have just been my imagination. "I will take Moyashi home" he says as he grabs my arm and stumble behind him as he starts walking and I don't even have the chance to ask why we were leaving before I am in front of the passenger's door.
"Why did you do that for?!" I said pouting at him and crossing my arms. He didn't look at me as he opened the door, "Get in the damn car, Moyashi." I pouted more and stood my ground, "Not until you answer me." Suddenly I felt warm lips on mine and I was too dazed and surprised to answer, but before I could get it through my head that is was Kanda's lips in mine, I was pushed into the car. I moved my hand to my lips not noticing Kanda had into the car until he voice broke through my dazed head, "Put your belt on, Moyashi." I nodded and put it on, not having much brain cells to argue. The ride was quiet and the atmosphere felt heavy. "I bet he regretted kissing me, he doesn't like me like that, he just wanted to shut me up." I sighed and turned my face away feeling tears form in my eyes.
The car stopped and I quickly unbuckled my belt and opened the door, but before I could get out I felt a tug that pulled me back and turned around just to feel those same warm lips on mine again. This time I wasn't as surprised, I blushed a bit, but kissed him back closing my eyes. Kanda was taken aback, he didn't expect Allen to kiss him back, but he was more than happy as he returned the kiss. After a while he pulled back and kissed Allen forehead, "I need to go," he said as he brushed Allen's hair back, "I'll come visit you tonight" Allen smiled and nodded, "See you, Kanda-senpai" He got out of the car and waved bye as Kanda drived out of the driveway then he walked inside his house smiling as he made his way to the bathroom for a shower.
-Rooftop of the School-
Kanda walked into the roof of the school where everyone was waiting for him. "What took you so long Yuu-chan?" Lavi asked as he threw his arm around Kanda's shoulders. "Don't call me that, Baka Usagi," he said as his eyebrow twitched and he unsheathed Mugen. "Calm down Kanda, we don't have time for this." The red-haired man standing beside Komui said as he lit up a cigarette. Kanda frowned and sheathed Mugen once more, "Tell us how Allen has been" Komui said looking at Kanda expectedly. His frown turned into a scowl and crossed his arms "Allen still remembers nothing, but it seems, coincidently, he found a way to get his memory back without him knowing or the solution found him." Komui looked perplexed by this and looked at the three teens "What do you mean, Kanda-kun" Kanda sighed and sat down on the ground crossing his legs and closed his eyes, "It seems we aren't the only ones that revived, in other words, the Noah also revived." Komui seemed momentarily schocked at the news, "How can this be, they were against the principles of God and yet they are alive?!"
"Isn't as strange as it sounds, they were Noah after all and Noah have reincarnated many times before." Cross said as he smoked his cigarette. A short silence passed through them as they ponders this then Komui spoke up again. "We will allow Allen-kun to be friends with the Noah, but you three will be supervising them" Lavi nodded, while Kanda just che'd at what Komui ordered them and Lenalee spoke up. "I said this a while ago when we found out the Noah were alive and still hold true to what I said." Koumi looked at her "What is it, Lenalee-chan?" she leaned back against the wall and looked at her brother. "Tyki told us that Rhode did not remember anything fro the time we were fighting against them and he wanted to use Allen as a method so she could remember, but seeing as how Allen doesn't remember either, his plan failed." Komui nodded understanding what she said, "In other words they need of us, it's good, they won't think of making any sudden moves and if Tyki is lying we have them outnumbered anyways."
Kanda stood straight from his perch against the wall, "If that's all, I better be goin." Lavi immediately closed in on him like the dumb bunny he was, "Where are you going chan?" Kanda eyebrow twitched at the use of his name, "Che, last I remembered, I didn't need to tell you were I was going and stop calling me by my name before you wake up without a head." Lavi stepped back and lifted his hands in defeat watching as Kanda stormed out the roof mumbling to himself about nosy idiot rabbits. Lavi and Lenalee looked at each other then shrugged it off and decided to go home, Lenalee going with her brother and the rest going their separate ways.
A while later, Kanda was back at Allen's home and saw that all the lights were off, but a faint glow could be seen through the front window. He walked up to the door and knocked. No answer. He knocked once more and still no answer. He started to worry slightly and placed his hand on the knob and turned it. The knob turned easily in his hand the door opened to reveal a sleeping Moyashi on the couch with the tv on. "Baka Moyashi, he's lucky no one came in." Kanda murmured to himself as he walked in and locked the door behind him. He walked over to Allen and looked at him sleeping and took advantage of the moment to let a small smile rest on his lips. His hand made his way to Allen's cheek caressing the soft skin making Allen stir a little and move towards the warm hand touching his cheek. After a while of observing the Moyashi he decided to take him to his room before he caught a cold here. He turned off the tv and quietly walked in front of the small boy and slowly picked him making his head rest against Kanda's chest.
Allen felt slight movement and opened his eyes a bit to see himself enveloped in darkness and feel smooth cloth against his cheek. He then felt himself being lowered down onto what he noticed was his bed. He looked to find Kanda's eyes looking down at him. "Sorry, did I wake you?" Allen looked dumbfoundedly at Kanda, "H-how did you get in?" Kanda tried to keep from che'ing in annoyance, "You lift your door unlocked," he said as he let go of Allen and made his way to leave, but a hand stopped him. When he turned back to look at Allen he saw him blushing and looking everywhere except at him. He smirked thinking how cute the Moyashi was, "M-May you stay, K-kanda?" His smirked widened and he slipped out of his shoes, "Move over then" he almost chuckled as he saw Allen's blush deepen and move over. He laid down beside the boy feel nervousness leak out of him, "Calm down, its not I'm going to do anything to you." he chuckled lightly and Allen spoke. "M-may I lay on your shoulder?" Kanda smiled at this happy it was dark and nodded, "Sure, suit yourself" There was a slight fidgeting before he felt Allen's head on his shoulder and he instinctively wrapped his arms around the boys shoulders."
He felt Allen tense a little before slowing relaxing and closing his eyes. "Thank you for staying Kanda-kun" the silver-haired boy said as he slowly snuggles into Kanda. Kanda pressed his cheek against the other boy's head and closed his eyes as well, "No problem" he said as he used his free hand to pull the blanket over them. "Will you be here in the morning Kanda?" he heard the young boy say quietly, almost a whisper, as sleep started to take over him. Kanda didn't answer immediately, but when he did he knew Allen had fallen asleep, "I'll be here forever, Moyashi." He kissed the boy's head lightly then pressed him closer to his chest as sleep took over him as well, but not before murmuring good night to the sleeping boy.
