On the boat ride back to Paris, Allen didn't sleep. He was unable to, and spent the night reading, or staring out the window. When Lavi woke up to get a midnight snack, he saw the light was still on and decided to go ask if he was ok.
'Hey, Allen,' he smiled, wheeling himself out towards him. 'Can't sleep?'
Allen shook his head. Lavi paused, he knew why Allen was so down, but also knew it wasn't a good thing to go without sleep before a suicide mission. He decided to make Allen think of something else.
'Say, how are things going with Lenalee?'
Allen's face went almost as red as Lavi's hair. He turned to the redhead, an alarmed look on his face.
'How did you know?! We weren't going to tell anyone! Oh god, did Jamie tell you? I'm gonna kill him!'
Allen stood up and started to march towards the bedroom, but Lavi grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him back onto the couch.
'Uh, Allen? I didn't know you were dating Lenalee, I just wanted to annoy you.'
Allen blinked in surprise and sighed in relief. Then he realized what had just happened and his eyes widened. He leapt forward and grabbed Lavi's shirt color, shaking him violently.
'LAVI! I BEG OF YOU! DON'T TELL KOMUI! DON'T TELL ANYONE! IF YOU DO-!'
Lavi chuckled, clasped Allen's hands and wrenched them off his shirt. He grinned.
'Don't worry, I wont say a word….On one condition.'
Allen looked at Lavi's mischievous face suspiciously. He could tell it was going to be bad.
'What's the condition?'
'You have to answer this question truthfully,' Lavi leant forward, pausing for dramatic effect. He then whispered in Allen's ear; 'Have you guys had sex yet?'
Allen's eyes widened, his face going bright red and jaw dropping. Lavi sat back grinning, triumphant, taking the boys silence as a yes.
'How d-did y-y-y-you kno-know?' Allen asked, looking pained.
'I have a perverted sixth sense. Comes in handy. Anyway, how long has this been going on for?'
Allen went an even brighter shade of red so Lavi rephrased his question.
'I meant how long have you been dating?'
'I dunno….About a year….'
'A year? That's quite a long time to go for without telling anyone.'
'Well, if we told anyone we thought Komui would find out and kill me. Jamie knows, but that was an accident he found out.'
Lavi nodded as he listened. The way Allen had been acting around Lenalee lately was starting to make sense. He had always thought Allen and Lenalee secretly loved each other, but he was surprised by all this.
'Well, you're gonna have to tell Komui sooner or later, especially if you wanna get married when you're older.'
At the "M" word, Allen looked like he'd been slapped in the face. Lavi shrugged and Allen sighed sadly.
'I know…. But I'll hold off on it until…until I get back. If I get back, that is.'
Lavi could sense the hopelessness in Allen's voice and got a painful reminder of what they were doing. They were going to a place to fight a group of Noah's and destroy them. They were most likely going to be outnumbered, as Komui was still trying to track down other exorcists (he had lost contact with most of them after the orders attack), and they were probably going to die.

Kanda lay in his room on his bed, unable to sleep. He listened to the thump of the waves hitting the boat. Normally such a sound was enough to lull him to sleep, but for the last few nights he had been unable to sleep at all. Out in the lounge room, he could hear Beansprout and Eyepatch talking, and in the next room, Jamie was tossing and turning, muttering something about an emu, whatever that was. Turing onto his side, he reached inside his shirt and pulled out his half of the necklace, staring at it. Clara was a Noah, the enemy, and had tried to kill an exorcist, proving she was evil, but he was still unable to stem his feelings. Though he hated to admit it, he was still in love with her.
'Idiot,' Said a voice in his head, 'She's a Noah! She probably never had feelings for you; she was probably hiding her identity.'
Kanda groaned in exasperation and crushed his pillow over his head, feeling conflicted. Before Clara had come along, everything had been black and white, hate the enemy and kill them, cope with allies and fight on their side, but now…He wasn't sure of anyone's place anymore, including his own.

Yeah, pretty pointless chapter but unfortunately I have run out of ideas. Suggestions are encouraged, and please review.
