AN: The reviews are great. I thank everyone who read and reviewed. Anyways here's another more angsty romance type feel of a drabble. I gave Allen a little back bone too. I mean he needs some authority in this relationship! Oh and the little ([R][O][A][D][x][A][L][L][E][N]) is a time shift.

"Are you getting soft on me, Allen?" said a sickly sweet voice. It came from a petite girl that was sitting casually on a desk swinging her feet in a childlike motion. She had spiky blue hair and shining misty blue eyes as she peered at the boy in front of her.

"Do I appear that way?" He asked, tipping his head sideways in a small motion before letting out a long breathe. His silver hair slightly shaded his gray orbed eyes as he stared at her right back. He wiped his emotions from his face.

"Well it would be most unfortunate if my greatest toy actually had a conscience" said the girl. She hoped off the desk and walked so that she stood in front of him. She flashed him a vicious smile before pouting slightly, "Kill the whole family, that's an order" she added raising her eyebrow at him as if to challenge him into objecting.

Allen didn't react. He knew she would only get twisted pleasure in seeing him flinch at the newly decided order. Watching him squirm was her new favorite past time. One he deeply loathed. Seeing as she got no reaction from him she pursed her lips and tried again.

"Is that too easy for you? Oh I know lets have some fun" The girl said smiling and pacing in front of him. Allen could almost see the gears turning in her head. He didn't know what to expect. She was always a mystery to him. "You know what I'll give you a break, how about you carve the whole family with some intricate designs, then send them here alive and I'll kill them, sound good?".

Allen couldn't help it. He flinched and saw the smirk that slowly formed on the girls face. Just imagining running his blade over their skin and hearing their screams was enough to make him do exactly what the ruthless girl wanted him to do. He had bent to her will and gave her the perfect reaction to satisfy her craving. He watched her slide gracefully so that she stood directly in front of him.

With one small pale hand she pressed lightly against his stomach. She then slowly slid down and under the fabric of his shirt. While slowly sliding her hand upward she revealed the pale skin of his stomach. She leaned down so that her lips pressed right above the hemline of his jeans. Allen stiffened at the truly sadistic way she showed affection to him.

"What's wrong, Allen? Are you going to disobey my orders?" The girl asked her words were punctual as her lips moved ghostly over his skin. The hand that was holding up his shirt slowly curled and pressed her sharp nails into his skin painfully.

"No, Road" He said through clenched teeth. His knuckles were turning white at the fierce clench of them. Like she had said before, he was her 'greatest toy', easily manipulated, a guilty murderer and his wavering reactions to loyalty.

"Good" Road said. She took a step away from Allen; slowly like a predator she circled him till she stood behind him. Slowly she grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door in a wide sweeping motion, "Now get it done".

Allen slowly straightened his shirt before turning around and swiftly taking his leave.

"I don't have them in my possession" A voice said from the door behind Allen. Allen slowly turned around to see Road standing casually in the doorway. Her stance was languid but poised as she slowly took steps forward and with the heel of her foot kicked the door behind her.

"Just gathering information, I haven't started yet" Allen replied coolly. He took a step to the side and let Road glide slowly past him. Her shoes hardly clicked against the wood surface.

"You mean stalling?" Road asked as she fluidly turned around to look at him. A look of slight disapproval adorned her face. Allen stiffened under her scrutinizing gaze. His eyes flickered away from her face, "I hope I don't have to put a time limit on this" She added with a sigh.

"No I'll get it done" Allen muttered. His lips were turned down in a slight frown as he looked back at Road.

"Don't look so sad, Allen" Road said walking over to him. She grabbed the two sides of his leather jacket and pulled, slightly straightening them. She ran her hand down the two halves and smoothed them out, "Your doing me a great service" She added still holding his jacket.

"Should I go now?" Allen asked. His voice was a whisper as it traveled to Road's ears. He grabbed her hands and pried them open. Road slowly slid her hands back to her side, "They think you've been playing favorites".

"It might come to a surprise, Allen" Road said, she draped her arms over his shoulder and leaned in. She stretched upward to place her face in the crook of his neck. She breathed in deeply, "but you are my favorite" She whispered taking step back away from him.

Allen let out the breath he had been holding before walking out the door.

"Very sloppy, Allen" Road said as she slowly shifted through the photographs in her hand. When she looked at certain photos she pursued her lips in distaste, "Those designs aren't very pretty and you wasted so much time".

Allen said nothing. He only smiled slowly at her.

"Very masochistic, Allen, do you like your punishments?" Road asked, placing the photographs on the desk. She walked slowly, lethally, to behind the desk. She opened the door and pulled out a small red Swiss knife. She twirled it in her palm slowly as she walked back over to Allen.

"Not as much as you like giving them" He replied. Slowly as if on queue he slid of his leather jacket and swung it over a chair. Then he sat himself down on the same chair with a plop.

Allen could see the surprise in Road's eyes when she saw him willingly sit down instead of the usual "arguments" they'd have before hand. Allen thought he had just seen the hesitant flash in her eyes but it was gone as soon as it appeared. Instead it was replaced with a confused and slightly angry stare.

"It's no fun if you smile at the pain" Road said with a twisted pout on her face. She put her finger to her lips almost in a thinking manner. Then she shrugged, "You are definitely hard to figure out" she added.

Allen got up from his seat and drifted over to Road. He towered over her with a nonchalant attitude. He leaned down so that his lips lightly grazed against her ear. He placed one hand on her shoulder before saying, "That's why I'm your favorite".

AN: The best kind of Road is the sadistic one. I really appreciate the reviews and suggestions they help me sort out ideas and give me completely new ones. I personaly have no idea what I'm going to do for 'G' so suggestions are highly... suggested. A little helpful hint in picking words... I wanted to write a more Romance fluff for letter 'G' and break away from some of this angst. So give me some words with that mind set. Thank you! Review Review Review! My goal is to reach up to 20 reviews!!!!
