Allen and Kanda's 'conversation' had actually been an argument between the two. First came the verbal bashing, then came the violence. Kanda had Allen's arms pinned over his head as he had his leg in between Allen's. The two were glaring at one another. Cross stood at the door, arms crossed and a nasty glare shooting towards Kanda. "Oi, girly man, I suggest you unhand my charge." He seemed to growl. Kanda immediately scowled, but let go of Allen.
"Che, who the hell are you?" Kanda asked, staring at him. Allen simply face palmed. Cross looked at him.
"Me? That's none of your-"
"His name is Cross Marian. He's my uh...guardian." Allen cut in, making Cross frown at him. Kanda looked at Allen in surprise. Without any other words, Allen stood from the couch, and grabbed the tea pot, pouring the drink into the third cup Kanda had seen. Meanwhile, Cross entered the apartment, taking off his shoes, and walking past Allen, grabbing the cup in his hands, and going into his room. Allen then came back over to Kanda, looking around nervously.
"Che, are you going to explain Moyashi?" Kanda grumbled. The whittete looked at him.
"Are you sure you want me to?" He asked, tone flat. He really hated talking about Cross sometimes. Kanda just gave a nod. Allen sighed. "For starters, he's not actually my real father. I never actually met my real one. Anyways, Cross is a little uh...tough, but he's a horrible human being to an extent so can we please just stop talking about this." Allen finished quickly, not wanting to talk about the red haired man anymore. Kanda couldn't help his smirk as he chuckled.
Kanda soon learned that Cross had made Allen pay his debts, and left on monthly travels for work, usually leaving Allen all alone to fend for himself. When he heard that, he couldn't help but feel himself get a bit angry. "Che, talk about being responsible." He grumbled. This made Allen smile a bit.

Somewhere along during their tutoring lesson, Cross suddenly started to laugh. Both Allen and Kanda sweat dropped at this, and it appeared Cross was on the phone with someone. Allen growled in frustration, making Kanda look at him. They continued for a few minutes, and Cross was still talking obnoxiously. "Hold on a minute." Allen stated, putting down the pen in his hand, and stood from his spot on the couch, before walking to Cross's room, his eyebrow twitching.
Kanda watched in slight amusement as he did this. Allen suddenly slammed Cross's door open. "Idiot Master, I'm trying to teach Kanda, could you please lower it!" He exclaimed angrily. Cross looked at him.
"Then go somewhere else idiot apprentice!" He shot back. Allen growled at him, getting more frustrated by the minute.
"We don't have anywhere else to go, so please, just be quieter!" Allen sighed, before closing the door, and walking back over to Kanda. Said teen smirked slightly, enjoying seeing Allen like this. Allen sighed, sitting down next to him again. "Sorry about that, Cross is drunk, and when he's drunk he's incredibly stupid." Allen said. Kanda just nodded, not showing any real interest. Allen sighed again, picking up his pen. "Now, where were we?"
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Kanda had learned that his accusations of Allen were completely wrong. Allen didn't have a really nice place to live, or any real parent he could ask for help. He was all alone. Just like Kanda. The two were held responsible for their own lives and education.
Walking to school that morning was different for once. Allen had joined Lenalee and Lavi in their walk, and they met up with Kanda half way. Kanda couldn't help looking at Allen from time to time, noticing different things about the teen. "Hey, did you hear about the party that guy Madarao is hosting?" Lavi asked curiously. Allen and Lenalee shook their heads. Kanda just scoffed. Lavi grinned. "I've got four invitations, so let's go to it! I heard it was gonna be really crazy." Lavi stated. Allen and Lenalee looked at one another.
"I don't know Lavi...if it's Madarao throwing the party, I don't think I want to go..." Lenalee trailed off. Lavi chuckled.
"Nothing to worry about Lena-Lady! Your knight in shining armor shall guard you all night long!" He chuckled. Hearing this, Lenalee laughed a little, blushing slightly as she nodded. Lavi looked to Allen. "Allen, what about you?" He asked. Allen shrugged.
"I don't think I'll have any plans for a while, so why not." He said. Lavi fist pumped the air, seeming excited. He knew that if Allen was going to go, so would Kanda. Eventually they got to school, and Kanda walked off. The entire time Kanda was around, Allen felt his heart pounding furiously every time he and the male made eye contact. Lenalee seemed to notice how nervous Allen looked.
"Allen? Are you alright?" She asked softly. Lavi looked over at the two. Allen looked at them.
"Could I ask you both something, and promise you won't tell anyone?" He asked in response. The two nodded. Allen took a breath. "I think I'm sick or something. Every time I see Kanda's stupid face my heart starts beating really fast, and I feel my face heating up. I think I have a fever or something, because this is not normal." Allen rambled. Lenalee and Lavi looked at one another, Lavi smirking.
"Allen-chan, you're in love!" Lavi exclaimed happily. Allen's eyes went wide.
"WHAT?!"
