"Allen! Wait up!" I cried out to my best friend. He turned around a graced me with one of his dazzling smiles. I felt my heart speed up.
"Hello Lenalee. How are you today?" He said in his British accent. His silver eyes sparkled with every word he said.
"I'm excellent, and you Allen? Get into any fights with Kanda today?" I laughed. He stiffened at the mention of the older male.
"That arse won't stop making fun of my height! I swear one day someone's going to cut of his legs and make him short. And that person may or not be me." He huffed in indignation. I let out a laugh.
"Don't let him get to you. If he even talks to you that means he likes you." I reassured. To my surprise.
"Kanda, like me? No, I don't believe that's possible. I can't see him liking anybody. You're the only person he "likes" you must be pretty close." He smiled.
"Yeah, we've been friends for years." I say bashfully.
"I'm glad that we're friends. I haven't had many because of my appearance." He smiled as we continued down the hall together.
"I think it looks really cool on you!It fits you in a way." I said happily.
"I'm sure Kanda would have something else to say about it." He grumbled.
"About what?" A low voice came from behind us sending Allen into the air.
"Dammit, Kanda. You could've given us a warning!" Allen exclaimed.
"Why should I? It's not my fault you're a scardy cat." He came back with a smirk.
"Wha- a scardy cat? I've seen horrors worse than you can imagine! I lived with that horrible Cross for over sixteen years! You learn to be a little jumpy after that, thank you very much." He stated in a matter-of-fact- tone.
"Yeah whatever chicken." He chuckled to my surprise.
"Kanda, are you- are you laughing?" I immediately got my camera out and snapped a picture.
"Hey, what the hell?" He shouted.
"What? If you're laughing then I have to document it. This will make history books." I said happily. Kanda rolled his eyes. I was a bit jealous that after only being here a month but I brushed it off my shoulder.
Allen huffed and continued to the area of group of friends sat at during break. At the table I watched as Lavi blushed as we approached. Weird. Rhode jumoed up excitedly to hug me while Tyki just sat there smoking his cigarette.
"Hey, put that out before you get us all in trouble." I stated firmly. He rolled his eyes before putting out the cancer stick.
"H-hey Leanlee, how's it going?" Lavi muttered.
"It's going good. what's wrong with you? You're being so... meek. And you're never meek." I laughed.
"Ah, that's. I gotta go bye!" He said before dashing off. I looked after him confused.
"Was it something I said?" The whole group aside from Kanda just chuckled to themselves. "What?" I asked.
"Che. Oblivious." Kanda said as he turned on his heels and strolled off.
"Got that right, Kanda." Tyki said running after him.
"Wait up Tyki!" Rhode called as she joined them. I looked over to Allen who was chuckling to himself.
"What's so funny? Why am I oblivious?" I asked my friend.
"You'll know one of these days." He said all knowingly.
"Come on that's not fair!" I whined.
"It wouldn't be right for me to say anything, just wait a little while! I'm sure it'll come out sooner or later.
*1 Week Later*
"I know, I know. I'm gonna tell her tonight at the party." Lavi said in a whisper.
"Tell who what? I love gossip!" I exclaimed happily. Lavi's face took on a look of true terror as he shushed Kanda and Allen.
"Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Right guys?" Allen nodded eagerly and Kanda "Che"d. "Well it was nice speaking with you Lenalee, bye!" He said and then hurried off.
"Is he avoiding me?" I said hurt. Allen waved his arms frantically.
"Surely not! He was just telling us he had to go do something! You just came up at the wrong time."
"Really? Are you sure? He's been acting this way for a while." I felt tears pricking at my eyes at the thought of Lavi not liking me. I couldn't have anyone abandon me again like all of those years ago with Komui and my parents. I someone I loved left me again I don't know what I'd do.
"I promise it's nothing like that. You trust me, right?" He said looking me in the eyes. I gave a small nod before wiping the tears from my eyes.
That night I found myself dancing through the crowd of the party asking around for Kanda and Allen. Finding out Allen liked Kanda made me feel stupid for leaving the two alone. Who am I kidding? Kanda isn't gay!
"Oh, they went upstairs about ten minutes ago." I thank Daisya for the information before heading up the stairs. I felt bad for assuming that my friend would try and take Kanda from me. I mean how could he not know I like Kanda? I'll just clear things up with him. I'm sure he would understand. That is the Allen I know after all.
As I made my way down the hall I heard moans coming from the bedroom. For a second I imagined it was KAnda and I but then pushed the thought out of my head quickly, blushing all the while. Upon passing the next room I heard a familiar voice.
"Ah! Kanda!~" I paused and looked at the door that the sound had just come from. I took a quick peek inside revealing my best friend and my crush in each other's arms butt naked. In a blind rage I threw the door opened.
"You stupid fucking whore! I hate you!" Tears pricked at my eyes as I pushed through the crowd.
"Lenalee, wait!" I heard Allen's voice come from behind me. I didn't want to hear what he had to say.
"No you little bitch! Go back there and fuck someone else's love!" My chest was in immense pain. The betrayal I felt was unbearable. My mind was fuzzy with rage and agony. Once down the stairs I stopped in my tracks by the sound of a yell and a series of thumps. I turned around just in time to see Allen fall from the wooden stair case to the tile floor. I gasp and for just a second dread filled me and I had forgotten what he had just done. I was next to him in an instant wiping his hair from his face. I pulled my hand away when I noticed the blood. When I remembered the events from not even a minute earlier I felt almost glad this had happened to him.
I stood up and walked off. I broke into a run when I heard Kanda's voice.
When outside I could faintly hear Lavi's voice calling me saying he had something to tell me but I just kept running all the way home. I busted through the door earning a gasp from my brother.
"Lenalee what are yo-" MY brother started.
"Move me to the Asia branch." I said out of breath.
"W-why? I'm here now, don't you want to stay with m-"
"I said move me to the Asia branch!" I screamed at him before sprinting to my room. For the rest of the night I cried in my bed ignoring the knocks and pleads coming from the door.
I looked at Lenalee shocked.
"I-I did that to you?" She nodded at me angrily. I felt tears pricking at my eyes. I pulled her into a tight hug. "I'm so sorry! I don't know why I did it but I'm sorry." I cried into her. She seemed shocked by the sudden hug. Eventually she wrapped her arms around me and started sobbing along with me.
"I was so upset." She cried. I stroked her hair. "I have something to tell you..." I looked at her eyeing her guilty expression. "I'm the one Kanda has been cheating on you with." My heart stopped for a moment.
"So this is how you felt back then, huh?" I said my hand resting on my chest that had a tightening sensation. "It's alright. It's not all your fault. I wish you would've told me back then." I stated.
"Me, too." She looked as if she was holding something else back.
"What is it?" I asked. She looked up and put her hand over her belly.
"I haven't told Kanda yet but I'm pregnant." I looked at her shocked. I made a few connections in my head before giving a sad smile. This was what was best for Kanda.
"Lenalee." I started. She looked up at me expectantly, "I have a favor to ask you and I think you're the only person I can ask." She nodded. "I'm going to die very soon." She gaped at me.
"Wh-what do you mean? You're not gonna kill yourself are you?" She exclaimed grabbing my shoulders. I shook my head.
"No, I'm terminally ill." She covered her mouth.
"Oh my goodness. How much longer?" She asked.
"Two weeks." I said simply.
"Wait but that's when the divorce is final. Is that why?" I nodded before she could finish.
"After I die I want you and Kanda to live together and please make him happy. All I want is for him and Kate to be happy. I'm not gonna spend these two weeks hating the two of you. I want all of us to spend time together. Please tell me you'll take care of him after I'm gone." I said tears falling freely.
"I wanted to take Kanda from you but not like this." She mumbled to herself. After a moment she got a determined look on her face. "I'll do it." I smiled at her.
"Be sure to treat Kate like she's your own. She's never had a mother before. Hers abandoned her." We spent the next hour discussing Kanda. I told her all of his likes and dislikes and practically everything I knew about he and Kate. I had finally settled everything I needed to settle besides making it past Kate's birthday and her exams. We bid each other farewell and both felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off of our shoulders. Though it upset me that I was giving up Kanda to the other woman I kept in mind that at one point in time the other woman had been my best friend.
I suddenly remembered something. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number that I had just acquired.
"Hello?" She asked confused.
"What ever happened with Lavi?" I asked.
"What do you mean? We haven't spoken since the night of the party. Why?" She said bewildered.
"Wait, you mean you still haven't figured it out?" I let out a little laugh.
"Figured what out?" She asked.
"Nothing. You'll figure it out someday." She huffed and we said goodbye for the second time that night. I let my eyes drift to the sky as I walked home. I wonder what it'll be like up there?
AN: And let the flames begin. Yes I know the last scene is a little unrealistic but this is my story and my take on what Allen would do so BAM! HAha I still love you guys if you flame me though. No hard feelings, I've prepared myself!
