Disclaimer: I don't recall suddenly owning D. Gray Man these past few days…
Allen and Lavi made it to their English class on time. If Allen had thought Lavi talked a lot in class, he talked an earful in those few minutes they had been walking together. It wasn't much of a bad thing though. Usually people who talked a lot annoyed Allen but Lavi was pretty interesting and smart. Lavi introduced Allen to the English teacher whose name was Miranda. Allen found it strange that Lavi called teachers by their first names. Miranda didn't seem to mind.
Ms. Lotto was very kind to Allen. She let him sit next to Lavi since they already knew each other. Another girl walked in and sat next to Lavi. Allen couldn't help but notice she had pretty long hair. It was tied in two ponytails. The girl noticed him and smiled warmly.
"Hi there. My name's Lenalee. Are you Lavi's new friend?" I guess they're dating…
"Hello Lenalee. I'm Allen."
"Are you going to eat lunch with us after this class?"
"Um… If you don't mind…" Wouldn't she rather be alone with Lavi?
"Of course I don't! Why would I?" She seemed confused at this.
"I don't want to intrude on you two."
"Wait you think we're…"
Lavi and Lenalee looked at each other for a few seconds. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds. Allen wondered if he said something wrong. The two juniors laughed and laughed…. And laughed. They laughed so hard many of their classmates turned around to see what was going on.
"He thinks we… wow… no. just no." Lenalee tried saying between tears of laughter.
"There's nothing wrong with me, Lena." Lavi said slightly offended but still laughing.
"Sure there isn't. Besides being a playboy and breaking the hearts of dozens of girls, you're totally worth the effort… Not."
"Hey I didn't mean to upset them. It just happens. Besides, I wouldn't go for you anyways either."
"And why not?"
"Well for one, Komui would slaughter me. Besides, you're like a little sister to me, Lena."
"Aw, that's sweet."
It wasn't the first time Lavi and Lenalee had to reassure people they weren't dating. Between Lavi's fan girls and Komui, it was a miracle they could keep their friendship intact. They had been best friends since childhood and only wanted the best for each other; however, their love was only platonic. Lavi put his arm around Allen's shoulder. Allen was busy trying to recall who Komui was until Lavi interrupted him. Allen stepped away from Lavi who chose to ignore this.
"See, we want you around us. The more the merrier. You can even meet Yu."
"I can meet me?"
"No, Yu."
"Who?"
Lenalee laughed at the two boy's conversation. "His first name is Yu, But don't call him that or he'll get pissed. He's a bit of a grumpy head but I'm sure you guys will get along."
Ms. Lotto passed some papers around to the whole class. As the group turned their attention back to the class, the classroom got pretty quiet. Luckily, Allen understood most of the work on their assignment. He was able to finish quickly and let his mind wander. Komui… Why does that name sound familiar. I feel like I'm missing something important here. Yu. Grumpy. Does not like to be called by his first name. Why does that sound familiar?
He was interrupted from his thoughts by a crumpled up paper ball on his desk. He opened it up to find a short message in slightly crappy handwriting.
Hey ;) Thinking about me?
Allen blushed and looked over at Lavi questioningly. Lavi smirked. Allen wrote something neatly and passed it back to Lavi.
You wish.
Lavi laughed to himself. Lenalee looked at them and shushed them. Lavi passed the note back.
Maybe, short stack.
Allen wrote something down, ignoring the implied flirt, and threw the paper ball a bit forcefully at Lavi's head.
It's Allen.
Lavi laughed at the note. Ms. Lotto noticed this and told them to be quiet. There was only a few minutes left of class. Lenalee turned to them and smirked.
"Stop flirting"
Allen couldn't help but blush. We weren't flirting. Allen ripped a piece of paper and wrote a message before passing it to Lenalee. Lavi looked at Allen with hurt eyes.
"How dare you leave me out of this conversation?" Lavi failed at keeping the serious tone in his voice.
"You're such a drama queen." Allen said laughing.
Meanwhile Lenalee looked at her note. Allen had asked who Komui was and if he worked here. Realization struck. Komui had been complaining about a transfer student who was under Cross' care. Komui had been worried that the student would be a womanizer like Cross and try to seduce his precious Lenalee. They did share a class after all. He had a history of getting in fights and failing most of his classes. The transfer student never showed up.
Komui wasn't surprised. It was included in the report that Allen frequently skipped out on school. It was also included that Allen failed math for only showing up for three days. Maybe they shouldn't have scheduled it as his first class. Little did they know, Allen had forgotten and Anita had been late to get him to school.
Lenalee couldn't believe adorable little Allen was the infamous delinquent transfer student Komui had been so worried about. It was hard to imagine Allen in a fight. How was Allen a freshman in their junior class when he had failed most of his classes? She wrote down a quick reply to Allen and passed it back.
I'll tell you at lunch.
The plot thickens… Not really.
