Foster Hell 10

AN: hello again my wonderful readers~ ^^ Nella is back and although she isn't feeling so hot, she keeps writing! Gah, I hate the dentist... I had to go yesterday and my mouth hurts really badly, so I decided to write a little to take my mind off the pain... ^^; enjoy!

Disclaimer: I DUN OWN D. GREY MAN. I only use the characters in amusing ways to satisfy my own selfish need for yaoi~ :)

"Sleep well Allen, I'll see you in a few hours~" Lavi quickly made his retreat, leaving a blushing Allen behind him in the pink room.

----

"What the hell was that about?" Allen muttered to himself, his pale cheeks burning as he lay down. Lavi didn't... like him... not like that anyway... though he did go to awfully long lengths to help Allen out of a tough spot, and he had been relentless about getting Allen to open up to him... and he had just kissed him, on the forehead sure but... it had almost felt like his lips had rested on Allen's forehead for just a little longer than necessary... almost like Lavi had been trying to speak through such sweet contact. Allen sighed and rolled over, dismissing the thought as he began to fall asleep again.

"As if he would like me back anyway..." Allen mumbled sadly as the gentle embrace of sleep overcame him.

----

"Yuu-Chan..." Lavi whimpered pitifully as he picked himself up from the floor of Kanda's bedroom, "You didn't have to punch me you know..."

"Yeah well next time you're telling me about how you kissed someone, don't fucking demonstrate!" Kanda roared, rubbing his forehead in disgust.

"But Yuu..."

"Fuck off! Gah, I thought you weren't going to start a relationship with the damn moyashi, why this all of a sudden?" Kanda growled, glaring down at Lavi as he sat up and grinned.

"Well, just because I am not planning on pursuing him doesn't mean I can't indulge myself in a little bit of love does it?"

"So you have no problem with leading him on?" Lavi blinked, looking thoughtful as he considered Kanda's words.

"I don't think a kiss to the forehead would be considered leading him on... besides, if he makes a move, I may or may not consider not following my own intent and maybe dating him."

"... Fuck you and your double negatives." Kanda scoffed as Lavi laughed.

"Well, if your tiny samurinja brain didn't understand, I basically said, if Allen makes the first move I might just end up dating him~"

"And you think that dating your so called brother is normal?"

"Well one I've known him for like, three weeks so its not like we've got this deep brotherly bond. We didn't grow up together so it's not like it would be if I was to date you," Lavi dodged a flying pair of scissors, courtesy of Kanda Yuu before continuing, "And I'm moving out soon anyway, so we won't be living together for much longer."

"Whatever rabbit, but if you fuck up a relationship with him, you've just about fucked yourself over for life. No way Koumi will be happy with his foster sons humping each other in his house, and coming home for Christmas will be awkward as hell. Who would want to visit with an Ex during the holidays?"

"Well, that's why I'm going to let Allen make the first move. I don't want to pressure him into anything. Even if it doesn't work out with us dating, I can stay friends with Allen, he's a good guy. He wouldn't let something like that ruin family gatherings and neither would I."

"Whatever, I don't care. Just don't fucking do anything... Yaoi in front of me. I swear to god I will kill you if you do." Kanda cracked his knuckles threateningly as Lavi smiled sheepishly, scooting backwards a little.

"Right... I'll keep that in mind Yuu-Chan..."

"Che, don't call me by my first name asshole."

"Yeah, yeah I know. Oh geez, I better go get some food for Allen! See you later Yuu~" Lavi jumped up and left the room with a wave as Kanda rolled his eyes, picking up the motorcycle repair manual he had been reading.

----

"Oooh Allen~ I've brought my offering to the beast~ can I keep my first born child now?" Lavi sing songed as he pushed open the door to Allen's bedroom, "Oh, he's still sleeping..." Lavi smiled, setting the tray heaped with food down on the desk near the window. Allen's face was serene as he slept, the feather soft bangs falling delicately in his eyes and he breathed softly. The angelic image was ruined though, but the now fading bruises that adorned his slender neck. Just seeing those marks pissed Lavi off all over again and he wanted to go smack Tyki around some more for touching Allen, even though Allen wouldn't have approved.

With a sigh, Lavi pulled up the desk chair and plopped down in front of Allen, leaning forward so one elbow rested on the bed while his other hand twirled Allen's soft white locks around a finger.

"Geez you're cute Allen, did you know that?" Lavi giggled at the sleeping teen, who snored lightly in response. Lavi turned away from Allen, reaching for the glass of water he had brought, his leg bumped against the bedside table, knocking the small pile of books on top of it over.

"Oh bugger..." the redhead grumbled, bending over to pick up the dropped items.

"Hello! What's this?" as a plain leather bound notebook found its way into Lavi's grasp and he peaked inside, grinning as he saw Allen's neat handwriting filling the pages.

"Aha, jackpot! And I wasn't even looking for his journal... just proves how awesome I am I guess..." Lavi grinned, opening to the most recent pages and skimming over them.

Hmmm, I'm kinda hungry... I wonder if Koumi will have anything in the kitchen that is edible... I don't want to accidentally eat something weird again.

"Blah, blah, blah..." Lavi muttered, skipping through to the next page for more interesting reading material.

Damn Tyki, the bastard! I have every right to keep things like how my father died to myself! I don't need pity, I don't want it and I will not stand getting it. How the hell did he even find out? I mean, I heard through the grapevine that he is part of the super rich Noah family, but to have found out about Mana he would have had to hire a private detective or something! I mean, I lived all the way on the other side of the country and it was normal for that time of year for there to have been a car accident on that stretch of highway...

"Ah Allen, if you would have said something..." Lavi sighed, shaking his head before skimming to the page that was apparently written a few hours ago.

Lavi kissed me. I mean, it wasn't on the mouth... but... it was still lip-to-skin contact so it has to count for something right? I wonder if he likes me back... but... nothing good ever really happens to me so I really shouldn't get my hopes up too high...

Lavi blinked, reread the passage, slapped himself a few times, reread the passage again, rubbed his eye and reread the passage again before grinning stupidly.

"Oh my freaking Jesus! He likes me too?!" Lavi's eye snapped up as Allen mumbled something and started to wake. With a panicked half squeak, Lavi stuffed the notebook back into place and turned back to Allen as his sliver eyes slid open, fogged up by sleep.

"Mmm, I smell food..." the redhead laughed as Allen sat up groggily and looked around his room.

"Lavi...?"

"How did you sleep Allen?" Lavi asked, handing the still half asleep boy some dango.

"Good..." Allen yawned, stuffing the food into his mouth and chewing the poor dumpling almost violently.

"Ah, that's good, how does your neck feel?" a gentle finger prodded the abused flesh and Allen winced, pushing Lavi's hand away with an uncomfortable look on his face.

"Still sore, but not as bad..."

"That's good, everyone will be glad to hear that you are recovering..." Allen smiled and nodded, blushing lightly as Lavi ruffled his hair affectionately, "But like they say, you can never keep a good bean down- OW!" Allen's fist connected with Lavi's jaw and the redhead was knocked off the chair, and into the nightstand, sending the books he had just picked up tumbling to the floor again.

"That wasn't very nice Allen..."

"You deserved it, idiot Lavi." Allen huffed, flicking his bangs out of his eyes as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed.

"Why, because I called you a bean?" Lavi grinned as Allen kneeled down beside him and started picking up the books.

"Yes! Don't call me that, my name is Allen damn it!" one of the hard cover books was thrown and it hit Lavi in the face with a loud thump.

"Ow! Alright, alright, Allen! Geez, take a chill pill will yah?" Allen replaced the books to their rightful positions and took a seat on his bed as Lavi pulled himself back onto the chair, grumbling good naturedly as he rubbed his nose. They stared at each other for a moment, both wanting to say something but unsure of how to start.

"Umm, Lavi?" Allen broke the silence uneasily.

"Yes?"

"I... umm, I wanted to thank you... for trying so hard... I must have been a real prick about keeping things to myself huh?"

"Yeah you were, but don't worry about it, because I know first hand how it is. Reliving bad memories by talking about them isn't fun, so it takes a little extra prodding to get them out, but... don't you feel better now?" Allen smiled sadly and nodded.

"Yeah, I still appreciate how hard you tried to help me out. It... Means a lot to me." Allen blushed lightly, hoping he didn't sound like a girl, and looked at his hands to hide the pink in his cheeks. A warm hand covered his own and Allen peaked up at Lavi through his bangs, slight confusion reflecting in his sliver eyes.

"I'm happy to help you out Allen. I'm just glad that everything is alright now." Allen smiled shyly, the blush on his cheeks intensifying a little as he nodded.

"Yeah... everything is great..."

'Aside from the fact I'm practically in love with you.'

"Lavi, he'll kill me if I do that. And I am not putting that on."

"Oh come on Allen, it's just a prank, and you wont be leaving the house so there is no harm, its not like anyone will see you except me and Yuu-Chan."

"No!"

"I'll give you $20."

"No."

"$40?"

"No."

"$50?"

"No."

"$150?"

"N- $150, really? You have that much?"

"Of course! So you'll do it?"

"Give me half of the money first, then I'll do it."

"Damn Allen, okay, here..." Lavi pulled out his wallet and handed Allen the money before shoving the costume into his arms.

"There. Change." Allen sighed and began pulling on the ridiculous outfit.

--

"K-Kanda?" the Japanese teen bristled at the sound of Allen's voice, spinning around to glare at the poor boy.

"What do you-" Kanda stopped mid sentence as he took in Allen's appearance.

He was blushing madly, and wearing a teeny tiny maid costume, complete with frills and an apron.

"H-how may I s-s-service you m-master?" he stuttered out, before turning and running for his life as Kanda's enraged roar echoed through the house.

--OMAKE END—
