IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Guess what? There's two Lavis in the story if you didn't notice that xD
I guess nobody noticed because Lavi first appeared in the prologue. But it's two different Lavis.
I don't know why but I …. kind of wanted to do two Lavis in one story, and same time kinda fucked up because I never told you?
Well the Lavi Kanda knows lives alone and doesn't have an eye patch and nor wears a bandana, he has short red hair and is the love-in-first-sight-strike kinda guy.
While the other Lavi who saved Allen, looks like the Lavi from the series. But he's serious and loyal to his friends, and doesn't go after chicks.
…. Sorry…. m(_ _)m

The rain had been whipping the ground, hitting the rooftops for weeks now.
It was a sad period in the village. At day, it would rain all day long nonstop, but at night, the sky was crystal clear, reviling the sleeping stars behind the thick clouds.
It was a sad time, with winter coming around the corner, and the fields drowning because of the non-stopping water. This was a sad time.
No one would go outside, only if it was necessary to bring food home. Afraid of being wiped away with the raging wind. At night, when it was quiet, no one dared to go outside.
Still, the patrol greeted the night with their guns to 'protect the village from the cursed', just because they failed to find the body. Suspicion had risen among the villagers, fearing someone had been helping the 'cursed'.
The patrol had been given the order to shoot anyone suspicious that walked outside after 9pm to 7am.
The patrol had special uniforms to recognize themselves at night, so they wouldn't shoot down a fellow guard. The uniforms were made after a guard had accidentally shot a fellow guard.
Kanda never took the nightshift, even if everyone wanted the badass piss-off-easily guard on the shift, he never came out at night. Kanda felt really bad for Allen, even though they only met and recently got to know each other, he didn't want to go among the people that wanted Allen dead. He even felt bad because he didn't go visit Allen anymore, because of Almas suspicion and he didn't want to be the suspected in the village, hell did he know what would happen if that happened.
"Kanda." Alma sighed wrapping his arms around Kanda, lifting himself up and softly bit Kandas ear.
"What?" Kanda said with a serious voice.
"Aww, come on, Kanda." Alma huffed "Tell me already why you were late? Why did you lie to me?"
What could Kanda say? That he met the cursed boy and made friends with him?
Kanda had tried avoiding the conversation with Alma many times with asking him if he was hungry or if he wanted to wash up or telling Alma that he was really tired. That couldn't go on forever, what could he say?
"Nothing important really" Kanda sighed, leaning his arm on the table, pressing his chin on the hand.
Alma let go of Kandas ear and huffed "Come on, did you meet some pretty villagers girl or something?"
"Something like that" Kanda answered, he really didn't want to talk about this with Alma.
Alma got the message, but hell did he want to give Kanda to anyone. He had to take action now or never.
"Didn't you say when we were kids that you would marry me?" Alma said, mentally smiling.
"That was when we were kids!" Kanda said, standing up from the bed and turned away to hide his blush.
Alma let his hands go, that were wrapped around Kanda.
"But I took it seriously" Alma grinned and pointed his tongue at Kanda.
Kanda just stood there in silence.
Allen had already healed a couple of months ago, stull having some trouble sitting down or standing up, because his back wasn't completely healed. Bookman had told him to be careful.
He and Lavi had continued their journey and left Allen alone the past couple of weeks. They said they were going to return to the village in a couple of months, so Allen should stay safe and not make much contact with others.
Allen never walked to the village, he was must more safe in the dark forest.
Even though it rained, the trees slowed down the winds so it was somewhat safe to talk around there.
Always sitting a couple of hours on the forest path to wait for Kanda, who never showed up. He even sat outside waiting for Kanda at night.
After the hours long wait, he would walk around to find something to eat in the forest.
Thanks to the rain, there was plenty to eat. Mushrooms, berries…
He walked bare foot in the forest, he would always complain after they got back to the ark how much his feet hurt but, what could you do? Allen never really had comfortable shoes to talk in. And he preferred to walk bare foot, because if he complained even more if he had shoes, they always felt trapped he said.
Allen sat down on the path again today and closed his eyes.
"Raining again huh? Hope the flue won't catch you"
"Oh really you arse!?" Allen grinned.
His grin slowly faded and he hugged his legs hiding his face. "Didn't he promise?"
Allen sat on the path in the cold rain, waiting for Kanda who didn't show up this day either. Allen couldn't blame him, there was one hell of a storm in the village. But still he felt a bit betrayed.
Allen stood up, it took him a while to stand up, because his legs had fallen asleep, they felt really weird after hugging them for hours.
"I think it's about time to find something to eat then"
"I think so too"
Allen inhaled the fresh air with the smell of the forest. He really liked the smell of the forest.
He looked down at his dirty clothes. "I wish they would smell like the forest" he pouted.
Well at least they get a shower. It was too cold to go down to the lake and wash himself up, so he was rather pleased with the rain.
He found some mushrooms and sang himself back into the ark.
Kanda was gazing through the pile of letters they got. He stopped for a second and looked outside the window, still raining huh? It would be nice if he could go out and get some fresh air.
Kanda then got the idea, why not go outside at night? He knew where the patrol would be at night, so he could easily slip through.
When the night came crawled upon the village, clearing the sky, reviling the stars hidden behind the clouds. Kanda went outside after he finally gotten Alma to sleep.
He inhaled the air, the air wasn't that good smelling. He looked around and slowly but safely he walked down to the forest.
He was surprised to see Allen asleep on the path. "What the hell?"
Kanda sneaked to the sleeping beauty lying on the path and sat next to him. As he sat down, the boy opened his eyes.
"Wow, you really know when somebody's around huh" Kanda grinned.
"Neah told me" Allen answered and massaged his eyes with his fists.
"So you really came" Allen gave Kanda a small smile and sat up slowly and hugged his legs. "After so many weeks of waiting"
"Your back isn't healed completely yet?" Kanda said, Allen just shook his head, but told him it's ok. "You waited for me for weeks?"
"When I could move again I came out and sat here every day and night waiting for you" Allen grinned.
"What about the annoying red head and that old man?" Kanda said surprised.
"Left a couple of weeks ago, around when I could start moving again."
Kanda stood up and offered his hand to help Allen. Allen gladly took the hand and stood up.
"So where do you want to go?" Kanda asked "I got all night"
"What today? Tonight?" Allen looked shocked at Kanda. Kanda just smiled "You waited so many weeks so why not"
They walked together down the forest, they had come in to an agreement that the village was too dangerous to go to right now, so they walked down to the lake.
They came to the lake and sat down on a small cliff around the small beach.
The moon was full and the stars were shining. They had an awkward silence, but to break the silence Allen started to sing.
[Georgy & The Hawk – Boats and Birds]
If you'll be my star, I'll be your sky.
You can hide underneath me and come out at night.
When I turn jet black, and you show off your light.
I live to let you shine. I live to let you shine.
But you can star rocket away from me, and never come back if you find and another galaxy.
Far from here, with more room to fly.
Just leave me your star dust to remember you by.
If you'll be my boat, I'll be your sea.
The depth of pure blue just to provoke curiosity.
Ebbing and flowing, and pushed by a braze.
I live to make you free. I live to make you free.
But you can set sail to the west, if you want to.
And pass the horizon, till I can't even see you.
Far from here, where the beaches are wide.
Just leave me your wake to remember you by…
Allen got more silent at the last sentence.
Kanda was amazed and looked at Allen with awe.
"So you can sing other songs than that other …one" Kanda said, he was unsure what to call the song, when it obviously wasn't called the "Witches praying".
Allen just pointed his finger at Kanda. Kanda opened his mouth to a 'O', when he realized that Allen was singing about Kanda. Allen blushed.
Kanda pushed Allen down and gave him a rough kiss.
"I'm going to sleep" Allen heard in his head, Neah was talking.
Allen was surprised when Kanda forced his tongue through Allens lips, searching for Allens tongue.
Allen didn't know what to do. Allen felt the chills that went through his head through the spine, he even felt the chills, like trapped butterflies in his stomatch. Allen accepted the kiss, and wrapped around his arms around Kanda. Kandas tongue finally found Allens tongue, and they danced together.
The kiss was rough, just pure pleasure, comfort and a small amount of love was shown through that kiss.
Kanda stopped and whispered to Allen "I will leave you my star for you to remember me by."
And then they continued the kiss.
From afar you could see two silhouettes kissing each other, under the watch of the full moon that reflected on the lakes surface.
White clouds hid the moon, and soon small snowflakes started to fall.
A snowflake landed on Allens nose and caused him to give off a small sneeze. Kanda withdrew and chuckled. "Cute"
Allen just blushed "What had happened just now" he thought.
Kanda sat up and sat beside Allen and took the small snowflake with his fingers.
"Matches your beautiful hair" Kanda said silently.
Allen sat up and looked at his hair that fell and hid his gray eyes, he just looked at it, he really hated his white hair. Kanda noticed this and leaned towards Allen and kissed his snow white hair.
"I didn't lie, it's beautiful." Kanda said.
Kanda stood up after a while and offered his hand. Allen took it again and stood up as well.
Kanda told Allen it was best for him to go home now, so Alma wouldn't notice that he was gone, nor that the patrol would have noticed that he had disappeared. Allen nodded and Allen walked together through the forest.
Allen opened the gate and walked in to the Ark, and Kanda continued his walk through the village, and came home safely.
Trapped in an hourglass, filled with sand.
Only three people stand next to the hourglass, noticing it's full.
One of them walked to the hourglass and noticed a silhouette hidden in the sand.
He caressed the glass, and that formed a crack.
Sand started pouring outside from the crack. But the crack was yet small and the sand couldn't rush out as fast as it wanted.
But yet, the person outside.
Ok… this is the first time I wrote something like that… yea… slow start chapter.
One of the reasons why I haven't updated… I turned 18 (25.12) and my relatives and family and friends wanted to drag me around so I never really had the time to sit down in front of my computer and write.
Hopefully you liked the chapter. I'm still nervous as hell how you'll react when you read the chapter. But yea…. hopefully you like it.
