So enjoy the 3715 words I have written for you, and review afterwards if you like:3 thanks for being patient with me!


Waking up to the sun shining brightly through his window was not something Kanda was used to doing. However, neither was he used to waking up next to Allen Walker.

Sitting up slowly so as not to disturb the white haired boy's sleep, Kanda sat and let the memories of the previous night wash over him. It had been simple enough, just a confession and then a cuddling session, yet somehow Kanda found complete pride in the fact that he had yet again finished a mission successfully. Allen was now 'his'.

Looking at said boy, Kanda allowed the ghost of the previous night's smile to escape onto his lips. The boy was curled facing Kanda, hands clasping a small amount of his black hair and part of Kanda's shirt. He almost looked like a cat, sleeping contently in the warm sun that shown through the window.

Looking up at the simple clock that rested on his bedside table, Kanda saw that it was well past 10 o'clock.

Not wanting to be the first to break the serene atmosphere, Kanda decided to go for a subtle yet hopefully effective way of waking Allen. Kanda bent over and blew lightly into his Moyashi's ear. 'Just like a cat' Kanda thought, as Allen stirred slightly and let go of Kanda's hair in order to bat at nothing over his right ear, only to slip back into sleep.

Not giving up, Kanda blew harder this time, only to receive the same automatic dismissal from the sleeping exorcist. Deciding that his methods were too subtle, Kanda decicivly took Allen's chin in his hand, and deftly decided on how he was going to wake him.

Bending over, Kanda licked Allen's face from his jaw line up to his forehead, causing the boy's eyes to fly open as Allen jerked away. Of course this motion sent Allen flying off the bed, making Kanda snicker quietly as Allen re-composed himself.

"Wha-… Kanda, you surprised me! What time is it?"

"It's 10:47 in the morning, Moyashi."

"What!" Allen looked at his stomach as if the world were ending. "Why didn't you wake me?"

"Well I tried, but you just wouldn't wake up."

Allen looked up at Kanda and smiled. "Well I was really talking to my stomach, but your excuse works too." Seeing Kanda's confused and slightly worried look, Allen explained. "Geeze, don't make that face. You would think I was going insane the way your face looks. It's just that usually, after not having eaten in a while, my stomach would have awoken me at some un-Godly hour. And seeing as I haven't eaten since yesterday morning because of the horrible train food, I was surprised I didn't wake up earlier."

Kanda's face somewhat relaxed after the explanation… at least it lost the confused look. Kanda looked down upon his Moyashi's face, worried by the lack of food consumed by his Allen. Usually Allen ate more than 10 people combined before dinner. 'Doesn't he need to eat a lot to keep his innocence happy?' Getting off the bed, Kanda surprised Allen again by starting to get undressed.

"Wha--- KANDA! What are you doing?!"

Kanda smirked over at Allen who was still sitting on the floor.

"What do you think, Sprout? I'm going to take a shower and then get dressed so that we can go get breakfast… or you might as well call it lunch, seeing as it's so late." Kanda didn't help the blush that was slowly forming on Allen's face by his next statement, "What did you think Allen, I'm not really into the morning thing. I usually like to wait till it gets dark to do that kinda stuff."

Seeing the almost horrified and nervous look on Allen's face, Kanda let loose a little chuckle, "Just kidding. Get your mind out of the gutter, Bean sprout."

Looking down, Allen felt his blush flare and mumbled that he would go to his own room to get dressed. "I mean… um… you're gonna want to take a shower and get dressed in peace…"

"What, you don't want a show, Moyashi?"

Allen was having a hard time answering that question. Sure he wanted to see Kanda… but that was such an embarrassing thing to say… 'Oh God, I confess to Kanda and now I'm acting like a school child. I wont get through a single day of this."

'Heh, Allen is so easy to embarrass…'

"Oy, Moyashi! Don't implode on me! Stop blushing and I'll meet you in front of the dining hall. Seriously, you are so fun to embarrass!"

Kanda had to yell the last statement, because he had started on his pants and Allen, not being able to stand watching Kanda strip himself anymore, had run from the room at his dismissal.

'Geeze, Kanda was so… different this morning. He didn't have his usual scowl on his face… I guess that's what a little sleep does… and maybe the confession… NO! I can't be the reason he seem so happy today… I just can't…'

Allen was having a hard time admitting that both he and Kanda were positively effected by each other's confessions. Not wanting to make himself seem wonderful, Allen was trying to convince himself that he was not the reason Kanda was so happy. Sure, Allen wanted badly to be the reason Kanda was happy, but it seemed so selfish of him to think that he had been the sole cause of someone else's happiness, especially since that someone held a place very close to Allen's heart.

20 minutes later, Allen came upon Kanda waiting for him in front of the dining hall entrance. "Geeze Bean sprout, what took you so long?" Kanda grabbed Allen's hand as soon as he was within reach and pulled him close, not too close, but close enough to be almost touching.

Allen tried to drop Kanda's hand, but Kanda held tight.

"Kanda! It's bound to be crowded in there! If we walk in together, they'll all know were… together." Whispering the last word, Allen looked down and away from Kanda. He had been so worried about the Order finding out about his feelings for Kanda, and about hurting Kanda because of that, that he was not too sure about marching in, hand-in-hand with Kanda.

'What if something bad happens? Then it'll be all my fault…'

Allen heard Kanda sigh and felt as Kanda's free hand tipped his own chin upward to look him in the eye.

"Allen, do you really think I care about what they think or know? You're mine now, and that's all that matters. Anyone who has a problem with that can go to hell."

Allen chuckled and squeezed Kanda's hand. Kanda had said exactly what Allen needed to hear in order to calm him, and now the familiar scowl was slightly alighting his features, making Allen feel more at home. Even though Allen liked the relaxed look Kanda had graced his features with all morning, he felt that Kanda was being more Kanda-ish if he was scowling.

"Alright then, only if you promise to stay with me."

Snorting, Kanda just pushed one of the large double doors that lead to the dining hall open and escorted Allen in without a word.

At first, no one noticed that anything was different between the two. Kanda still had his air of negativity and Allen was just as radiant and happy as always.

However, Jerry noticed the interlocked hands as he took their orders. The finders noticed the close proximity of the pair as they stood to the side, waiting for their food. And Lavi noticed the small curl at the edges of the cold swordsman's lips, which no one but he could tell were there, as they were talking and arguing as per usual.

Because of this, within seconds of the epiphanies everyone was experiencing all of the dining hall was staring over at Allen and Kanda as they received their food, hands still intertwined. The din from their observers was so loud and jumbled no sense could be made out of any of it.

"Oh. My. GOD! What's this now? What have I been telling you all along, Yuu! The great Lavi knows all-" Lavi was stopped mid sentence by a fierce glare from the now irate swordsman. Having silenced the annoying rabbit, Kanda felt Allen's palm become wet. The poor boy was getting extremely worked up by the many eyes that were upon him.

Turning to the sea of faces, Kanda yelled over the hubbub, "SHUT UP, DAMNIT!" Receiving silence, Kanda continued, "What we do is none of your business, so if I see a single one of you even look at Allen the wrong way, you will find yourself missing multiple vital body parts."

Smirking partly because of the shocked looks on the sea of faces and partly because of the mix of shock and gratefulness on his Moyashi's face, Kanda tugged Allen toward his usual table.

Only just daring to come over so soon after Kanda's ultimatum, Lavi slid up beside the two. Not even bothering to sit down, he smirked at Kanda and said just loud enough for Kanda and Allen to hear before high tailing it out of the dining hall, "Geeze, Yuu, jealous of everyone already? You haven't even been together for a whole day!"

"The fuck?!" Kanda yelled after Lavi, but he was long gone. Turning back to Allen, he was about to comment on the rabbit's stupidity until he became hopelessly lost in the radiant blush that covered Allen's face.

Laughing all the way, Lavi ran to the infirmary. He had meant to visit Tyki the day before, but had been intercepted by the panda and forced to actually do his work as a Bookman for once.

It was easy enough to find Tyki. He had been isolated similarly to how Allen had been, only for a different reason. Tyki was hated by the majority of the exorcists within the Order. Lavi knew that although he had talked to Lenalee and convinced her to give Tyki a chance the day before, he would have no such luck with anyone else. The simple fact that Tyki was still being kept alive was already widely discussed, and always disagreed with. Only the rumor of Allen's support of the ex-Noah kept those who would take action against Tyki in line.

Entering the room, Lavi saw a dejected looking Tyki staring at the blank ceiling as the doctor checked him over. It was apparent that the doctor was not sympathetic towards the injured man, paying no attention to his roughness when he handled the individual wounds and only briefly assessing the healing progress.

However, upon seeing Lavi, both the doctor and Tyki's attitudes changed immediately. Realizing that Lavi was an important member of the Order's community, the doctor changed subtly, handling his patient with more care and doing thorough checkups. Tyki's face, though, was radiant. He smiled so brightly Lavi thought that only Allen's could shine more. He was no longer laying back in bed, but sitting up, and greeted Lavi as if he were greeting an old and cherished friend.

Thrown a little out of sync by the warm welcome, Lavi answered in one syllable words for the first few minutes of their conversation. However, as soon as the confusion and excitement over being treated so kindly wore off, Lavi was more than happy to engage in a lengthy conversation with Tyki.

Yes, Lavi was glad to see Tyki was looking fine. What was going to happen to him now? Lavi was sorry he couldn't stick around yesterday to save the ex-Noah from Komui's insane experiments.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Actually, besides you and Allen, Komui has been the only one to treat me like a fellow human being in this place. Ha, it's so funny to say that."

Seeing the confused look on Lavi's face, Tyki elaborated. "Noah are not human. From the moment we become a Noah, our humanity is lost. However, it would seem that Komui has found that I am as human as you are. It is amazing to think about really. All this time we had been fed lies of how we were not human, how we could never be human again, yet now I am human and may have always remained human. 'Only became a super-human, similar to exorcists' was how Komui put it."

Lavi waited patiently for Tyki to finish explaining. In truth, although the topic was fascinating and normally could have kept Lavi busy for hours, Tyki had avoided Lavi's origional question.

"But Tyki, now that you've lost your powers and are 'normal' for all intensive purposes, what are you going to do now? There was a lot of talk yesterday, and a lot of it wasn't sounding too hospitable."

Realizing he had probably said the wrong thing, Lavi watched as Tyki's features became a little more sad. However the older man laughed the statement off.

"Actually, that was mostly what Komui and I discussed yesterday after you and Allen left. See, Lavi, I know how many here want nothing more than to see me dead. That was made apparent yesterday when I arrived. However, Komui does not think any would agree with letting me go, even though they would abhor the thought of keeping me here."

There was a long pause in which Lavi did not think Tyki would continue, however before Lavi could prod him on, Tyki picked up the topic again.

"Komui has decided that unless the Commander's or General's disagree, that I am to remain here. At first we had no clue what was going to be my job here, because I need to work in order to earn room and. I told him of my cooking skills, however he says it will take a long time before many would eat the food I had made. We mulled over the different possibilities for hours. Literally, we could only find a few that would be suitable, but none in which I would be trusted. However, the one that seems to appeal most would be a simple job, in which no one would need depend on me at all"

Looking down, slightly embarrassed, the ex-Noah cleared his throat and whispered, "Komui thinks I would cause the least amount of trouble as a gardener."

Lavi almost laughed. Tyki looked a little downhearted at the idea, for what reason Lavi couldn't figure out. For all the depths of his knowledge, Lavi couldn't figure out why in the world the job of a gardener would be in the least bit saddening.

"Umm… is that a bad thing?" Lavi finally asked after having sat in silence for the last five minutes.

Tyki looked up and smiled slightly bashfully, "No, it's not a bad thing. It's just that… after being someone so important, always traveling and doing things no matter what they consisted of, becoming a gardener is the opposite of what I would have ever considered becoming after forsaking my Noah abilities. I may have fantasized about becoming a business man, or a politician, but never a gardener. However, the idea does appeal to me. It would be interesting to actually do some normal work for once in my now normalized state."

Lavi nodded and seemed to understand. "You really are a good choice for the Bookman-to-be, Lavi. You are such a good listener…"

The heart that Lavi was not supposed to have tightened at that statement. He didn't want to not love. He didn't want to be the perfect Bookman he had always aspired to be if it meant he couldn't be with Tyki. Yet the path was already set, and Lavi could do nothing but walk upon it.

Careful to cover the almost physical pain he felt, Lavi laughed and took the 'compliment' as it was meant to be taken, and then quickly moving to a different topic of conversation.

For the past week, Lavi had visited him ever day. Somehow, he always came when the doctor decided to check up on Tyki. The first few days, the doctor had tried to come at unpredictable times so that Lavi would not be there. However Lavi would almost immediately appear as soon as the checkup began.

Smiling to himself as he took his medications for the third time that day, Tyki again thanked every possible holy being for making Lavi become his friend. When Tyki was sad, the bunny boy seemed to be telepathically alerted, and would come to talk the ex-Noah out of depression. A few times, Lavi had been accompanied by the few others who accepted Tyki in the Order. Allen and his new boyfriend, Kanda (who had come grudgingly), had come a few times to check on Tyki's progress.

Allen always treated Tyki like a friend, although he was nowhere near as friendly as Lavi was. This was possibly because of the jealous Japanese man who was now attached to Allen by the hand. According to Lavi, they went everywhere together.

Kanda at least treated Tyki better than he had on their first meeting within headquarters. Tyki got the impression from Lavi that if Kanda completely disliked the ex-Noah, the glares would have a lot more power behind them and the 'che's would come much more often during a conversation. Actually, Kanda treated both Lavi and Tyki exactly the same and seeing that Lavi was supposed to be Kanda's best friend, Tyki felt pretty good about Kanda's attitude. While it might not be friendship, it was not dislike either.

The most unexpected company he had, however, was when Lavi brought Lenalee to see Tyki.

He had been so surprised when the girl who had distrusted him greatly on their first meeting came over to his bed and asked for forgiveness.

"Tyki, look whose come to visit you!"

Looking over, Tyki held his blank expression, however his eyes showed the fear he felt. Everyone knew that the fury of an angry woman was much worse than that of a man's, and Lenalee had shown upon their first meeting as equals that she hated the ex-Noah. Fearing the worst, Tyki watched in horror as the girl got closer and closer with a determined look upon her features.

"I'm sorry, Tyki! I was very rude a few days ago, and would beg you to forgive me."

All Tyki could do in his confused state was stare in awe and ask plainly, "What?"

The girl looked up at Tyki with a sad look upon her once determined face. "I was in the wrong, Tyki. I judged you before I came to know you. You cannot blame me for hating the Noah who killed my friends, but you aren't that Noah anymore. You're one of us now, and if I must beg for your forgiveness, then I will."

Stunned, Tyki immediately forgave her. "There is noting to be forgiven… Lenalee, was it? You had every right to hate and fear me. No one could have known anything other than that a Noah had just breached the entrance to the Order."

Smiling now, with relief plainly painted across her face, Lenalee was now relaxed and began a lengthy conversation that lasted long past supper, causing Tyki to almost forget to take his medication, if it had not been for Lavi who reminded him.

However, today Lavi had come alone. He had confided in Tyki that he was tired of doing nothing. Tyki was secretly elated to hear that Lavi could not wait for Tyki to be let out from his bed. However, even with the enhanced-healing pills, Tyki would be bedridden for the next three days.

'What is this? I feel so happy, just thinking that I will be able to spend time with Lavi. I can spend just as much time with Allen, Kanda and Lenalee, but it makes me infinitely more happy to find I will be able to spend time with Lavi. What is this feeling in my chest?'

Tyki had zoned out as the doctor was checking up on him, and by the time Lavi's voice penetrated his thoughts, the checkup had been long done.

"Did you hear me Tyki?"

Getting a vague shake of the older man's head, Lavi sighed and repeated himself.

"I said I have good news. Since Allen is a general, Kanda is homicidal at times, and Komui is sheltering of Lenalee, I have been assigned as your guide until people here get used to you!"

'There it goes again! That strange tight feeling in the left side of my chest. I wonder, did my heart get hurt when I fought Allen, and wouldn't they have found it by now?'

"That's wonderful! But why do I need a guide?"

Lavi looked at Tyki and shook his head, "Cummon, Tyki, use your head. You should know better than anyone that most people don't quite agree with the idea of you sticking around. A guide would be there to make sure no one causes any 'accidents' to occur and send you back to the infirmary… or worse the morgue."

Tapping the side of his nose playfully, Tyki showed he understood. How could he have forgotten so easily that he was hated here. It must have been the protective air about Lavi that lulled him into the sense of security.

"So, what will we be doing while I have a faithful dog running about my heals and keeping me in check… or maybe I should say faithful rabbit!"

Tyki felt his heart tighten again as he saw Lavi pout at his joking remark. 'Ah! What is this in my chest! It doesn't necessarily feel bad, but it is almost a sad feeling'

"More like I'm the dog following the curious cat! You're probably going to want a grand tour of this place when you get out, and who better to ask questions of than the infamous Lavi!"

As they continued battering each other back and forth through their words, Tyki laughed quietly to himself. 'Ha, I've heard about this. So this is what if feels like. Not as nice as what everyone chalks it up to be, is it? Huh, love is such a strange feeling for someone like me…'


Ahhh! I made Tyki talk a lot… I kinda use my characters to explain things when I am lazy… sorry!

Also! Is Bean Sprout two words or one? And if it is two, is it Bean sprout or Bean Sprout?

And my idea of Kanda is that once he knows something can work, he won't hold back. And now that he knows his relationship is going to work, he is not going to be a closet lover… he's gonna shout his rainbow pride!… well not really, but he wont be keeping quiet, even if he stays a stuck up bastard while still acting like a proper boyfriend.

Tyki is a cat, sly curious and just begging for attention, while Lavi is a bunny, oh so cute and you know the saying 'breed like rabbits' only Lavi cant have any little kittens or bunny babies… T.T I love thinking of this pair as animals… sorry for not advancing their relationship much, but hey you cant do much when you're sick in bed! It would just be frustrating in more ways than one for Tyki and Lavi to know of eachother's feelings while Tyki was still bedridden… sorry for talking so much!
