Okay, slack author right here.

But it wasn't my fault.

Creative Writing, English, History, Maths and Art had me in chains for weeks!

I am now currently free of 3 chains, and have a bit more free time.

This... Is kinda short, but the next chapter shall be slightly comedic, and longer. Hopefully.

I'll start thanking my reviewers here next chapter, and I'll thank everyone right here and now.

Thank you to all of you beautiful reviewers and silent readers!

DISCLAIMER: D. Gray-Man doesn't belong to me, it belongs to the wonderful Katsura Hoshiono-sama.


I had asked Uncle Neah to grab my school bag and some other things from home for me, as I really didn't want to go home, and he understood and left not too long ago, promising a swift return. When he came back, I walked into Lavi's room and changed my clothes and put my school ones into my school bag. Lavi changed his clothes as well, but in his bathroom (I was a little disappointed that he didn't change in front of me), and we headed back out into the lounge room to find Uncle Neah and Grandpa Bookman ready to leave.

"If you two are ready, we're ready to go," Uncle Neah said, walking towards the front door. "Unless you two want some 'alone time' before Lavi's father gets back and we have to leave?" Uncle Neah asked with a sly look on his face. I turned bright red.

"Uncle Neah!" my muffled voice cried through closed hands covering my face. Uncle Neah, Uncle Bookman and Lavi all started laughing.

"Allen, you're just too cute!" Lavi exclaimed and smothered me with hugs. Uncle Neah and Grandpa Bookman chuckled.

"I think Lavi answered for you," Uncle Neah chuckled and walked out the door, Grandpa Bookman following behind. "Oh, and Lavi's father will be home in about an hour and a half to two hours. Just to let you know." Uncle Neah added and shut the door. Lavi got off me and pulled my face up for a deep, passionate kiss.

"It's been too long." Lavi mumbled as he attacked my neck with kisses.

"Lavi, we kissed like, not an hour ago." I replied, shifting my neck so he got more access.

"Exactly. Too long…" Lavi mumbled and bit my neck.

"Ah!" I gasped as Lavi pushed me onto the couch. He attacked my mouth again, poking his tongue against my lips. I opened my mouth and let his tongue in. We were making out for a while, but then it seemed too short when Uncle Neah opened the door and pulled us apart.

"Lavi's father returned sooner than I thought," Uncle Neah began, but stopped when he saw my neck. "And Allen, get that love bite covered. Lavi's father will notice. And both of you clean yourselves up and calm down." Uncle Neah said with a wink and left. We glanced at each other and proceeded with calming ourselves down, fixing up our clothes and I headed off into Lavi's bathroom to apply the concealer he had (I occasionally gave love bites, so Lavi had concealer to hide them from his father) and applied it to my love bite. I fixed myself up in the mirror and walked out with my and Lavi's bag.

"Lavi! You left your bag in your room!" I called out as I reached the end of the hall. Lavi popped up at the beginning of the hallway.

"So that's where I left it, thanks Allen! Anyway, Father, we have to go now. Got an interview for an apartment." Lavi said through sugar cubed teeth as he dragged me out the front door. He quickly ran to his car and started it as soon as I jumped in. We backed out of the driveway and quickly drove away from the house in a tense silence.

"Thank you so much Uncle Neah…" I started.

"It would have been hell if you hadn't warned us. So really, thank you Neah." Lavi finished and grinned back at Uncle Neah, who grinned right back.

"Anything for my nephew and his love." Uncle Neah replied and started asking about the owner of the building.

"He's really nice, married, his brother is gay, so that's why he was so cool with us being together. And he's even letting us buy the apartment cheap if we decorate the building with our art." Lavi replied with a smile. I put more detail into certain parts until Lavi asked me where to go. When we arrived at the building where Bak told us to go, we parked the car, jumped out and knocked on the door.

"Yeah, hang on a minute!" Bak called through the door. We heard crashing noises before the door opened to reveal an exhausted Bak.

"Come in… Sorry for the mess, we're slowly moving into the apartment building and packing stuff." Bak chuckled and opened the door and we walked in. Bak was right; it was a mess. Boxes everywhere, items scattered in large groups on every available surface and packing tape rolls everywhere.

We walked into the dining room and found the dinner already on the table. Bak instructed us to sit and help ourselves. Once everyone was happy and had food, the conversations started.

"Bak, this is my Uncle Neah." I said and pointed to Uncle Neah.

"Pleasure to meet my nephew's landlords." Uncle Neah said with a grin and shook Bak's hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Neah." Bak answered.

"This is my grandfather, Bookman." Lavi said and pointed to Grandpa Bookman.

"It's nice to meet you." Grandpa Bookman said and shook Bak's hand.

"Nice to meet you too, and this is my wife, Fou." Bak said with a smile and got a hit to the head.

"I can introduce myself Baka-Bak," Fou growled and looked back up at us with a smile, "I'm Fou, Bak's wife. It's a pleasure to meet you all." Fou said and proceeded with eating her food.

"It's nice to meet you." we all said at once and began eating. Naturally, I cleared the table after everyone else finished eating.

"Wow… You eat quite a bit, don't you Allen?" Bak said in wonder.

"Yeah, I do. I don't even know why myself, haha." I chuckled and wiped my mouth with a napkin. Lavi pulled me into him and kissed my cheek.

"That's one of the things I love about Allen most: his eating habit." Lavi grinned as I blushed.

"L-Lavi!" I whispered and looked away. Lavi grinned and pressed his forehead to my temple.

"Aww!" everyone at the table cooed. I blushed harder and buried my face into Lavi's shoulder.

"Shtopfh eet…" (Stop it) I said into Lavi's shoulder.

"Haha, sorry Allen." Lavi apologised and ruffled my hair. I lifted my head from Lavi's shoulder and looked at my barren plate. I took a gulp of water from my glass and looked up. Everyone was smiling and talking.

"Say, when are we able to move into the apartment?" Lavi asked.

"Well, you can move in as soon as you please. I'll give you the keys tonight, if you wish." Bak replied. Lavi grinned.

"Would it be okay if we stayed the night there?" Lavi asked.

"That would be fine. Would you like the keys now and go to your apartment? I could chat with Neah and Bookman about the apartment while you're gone?" Bak asked.

"That sounds wonderful, thank you so much." Lavi grinned. Bak stood up, walked into a room beyond the kitchen and returned a couple minutes later with a set of keys.

"Okay, here is the card to get in the building, these two red ones are for the front door and the deadlock, this key ring of smaller silver keys are for the windows, this green one is for the sliding glass door, these pink keys are for the other rooms, and these bone like keys are the skeleton keys. I'll give you guys the money to get the main keys duplicated, but other than that, congratulations on your new home boys." Bak smiled and handed Lavi the card and keychain. Lavi thanked Bak and we said goodbye to everyone.

Once we arrived at our apartment, walked into the building with our luggage in hand and got in the elevator. We did everything in complete silence, content with the silence around us. We didn't need to talk to convey anything, it was fine the way it was.

"Allen, this has to be the best day of my life at this moment. I love you." Lavi said just before he unlocked the door. I blushed. He… hasn't said that yet. He said it with so much ease… I have been thinking about telling Lavi the same thing, just not so soo-

Lavi broke my confused train of thought with a chaste kiss.

"It's alright, you don't have to say anything just yet. But I'll be waiting." Lavi whispered with a soft smile and unlocked the door.

I swear… I saw a small flicker of sadness in his eyes…


HE ADMITTED IT. OML.

But Allen didn't reply /shot by Laven fans/

It'll come soon.

I'm thinking of making this story only 10 chapters, but we'll see.

Next time my pandas.

Review, it fuels my happiness.
