Well, here's the last chapter, I'm so glad you have all enjoyed it so far.
Anyway, it's just fluff here, so sorry.
I don't own d.gray-man.

Lenalee lay in darkness. She could hear movement and the low murmur of voices around her, but was unable to respond to them. She tried to remember why there was a pain in her side. Was it because…
'Allen,' she finally heard a comprehensive sentence and a recognizable voice through the blackness, 'You really should get to sleep, and you look really tired.'
'I'm fine, Lavi. I'm not leaving until she wakes up; it's my fault she's like this.'
'That's not true, Allen, that wasn't you.'
'Well, it feels like it was me, so I'm not moving.'
The unconscious girl heard Lavi sigh.
'Ok, Allen, suit yourself. I'm going to get some tea; I'll bring you up something later if you'd like.'
'Thanks, Lavi.'
There was the sound of a door closing, and a silence descended upon them. Lenalee desperately wanted to wake up, to see if Allen really was back, but her eyelids felt like lead. She had no choice but to lay asleep. Suddenly, she heard Allen sigh, and speak.
'I'm so sorry, Lenalee. I really am…But I know no amount of apologizing will ever make up for it….'
The girl felt a hand stroke her forehead, brush the hair from her eyes. The touch fully awakened her, and she opened her eyes. At first, everything was kind of blurry, but after a few blinks the white hospital room came into full view. Allen sat on the edge of her bed. He was staring at his lap, a look of pain and guilt on his face. A tear slid down his cheek. Lenalee reached out her arm and wiped it away. Allen looked up in alarm.
'Lenalee!' He gasped, leaning forward, 'You're awake! Are you alright?'
'I'm fine, Allen…But you're not. Why are you crying?'
'Because of what I did. I tried to kill Kanda, and tried to kill you, and then I tried to…I tried to…'
'Force me?'
Allen looked sickened, but frowned and nodded, and went back to staring at his lap. Lenalee pushed herself into sitting position, her side aching slightly and leaned forward and framed Allen's face with her hands. He looked at her, surprised.
'Allen, I love you.'
Allen's eyes widened in shock as the girl gripped his shirt, pulled herself forward and kissed him. He tensed from shock for a moment, and then Lenalee felt him grip her shoulders and push her back.
'How can you love me after what I did to you?'
'Because, Allen, all you did to me there was save me from a Noah. I know you feel guilty, but you shouldn't. '
She pulled herself into Allen's lap and leant her head against his chest, closing her eyes, listening to the soothing beating of his heart. He sighed.
'I still don't know why… How could you trust or forgive me? It may not have been me fully, but it was a part of me, and if my curse is ever lifted again, he'll come back, and….'
He was silenced when Lenalee placed a finger on his lips. He looked down to see her smiling face.
'It's ok, Allen. I know you won't let it happen again. You make me feel safe being with you.'
She sat up straighter and threw her arms around his neck, kissing him. This time, Allen did not hesitate. He was shy at first, but then Lenalee felt his shoulders relax as he held her around her waist. She felt a pressure on her lips, and opened her mouth a little, and felt Allen's tongue enter and rub against her own. They both wrestled for a minute, fighting for dominance, though Allen eventually won and set about exploring the corners of her mouth. After he was done, he pulled away temporarily to come up for air. They both sat there, panting and blushing.
'Um…Lenalee?'
'Yes, Allen?'
'Is your brother going to kill me?'
'Probably.'
'Ok.'
He leaned forward and locked her in another kiss. Unbeknownst to them, the door suddenly opened and Lavi stared at them holding a plate of food, shocked, then grinned and backed out, quietly shutting the door behind him.
'Yay!' A chibi version of him danced in his mind, 'Cute exorcist babies!'
