Summary: Allen likes opportunities.

Notes/Warnings: un-betaed; the tenth in a series of 104 themes. "Opportunities" is today's theme. Thank you NellaxIval, stoneygeek, Aion Laven Walker, and ChaoticFenris for the reviews on the last two chapters! I know the last few have been short, and I apologize for that. Hopefully the next few will be longer?

Allen knew that Lavi was interested in him. He had learned, from his time with Cross, to recognize when others found him attractive. And sure, he knew how to flirt; he knew how to bring someone home if he chose. He also knew he was a bit young to know this. He chose to pretend to be innocent. He knew nothing of relationships: at least that would be the answer if you asked anyone within the Order about it. Unless you asked Cross—that man had ensured the boy knew how to get what he wanted.

Since Lavi's eyes lingered on him, his touches lasted a split second longer than they should have, and he was constantly making excuses to spend time around Allen; the white haired boy knew that he was, indeed, interested. Allen exploited this. He took every opportunity he could to let Lavi know he knew what he was about. Whether it was the time that Lavi had been training with Kanda and Allen had distracted him with a lollipop, or the time he clung close to Lavi during the midst of battle while they moved on the hammer's handle; Allen snagged the opportunity and dragged it out as far as he could.

It was early in the morning, far earlier than Allen had been down to breakfast before, but Kanda was predictably there. Lenalee was up already, munching on her breakfast. Allen, for once, wasn't all that hungry, but craved something sweet. He ordered a large plate of mitarashi dango and sat with the two. Breakfast was quiet until Lavi entered the scene. He sat next to Lenalee and greeted everyone with way too much energy for someone to have that early. Allen noticed when Lavi's eyes landed on him, but Allen refused to look up. At first he was going to leave Lavi well enough alone, but when the pressure of the redhead's gaze didn't ease, Allen decided it was worth it.

"Want some, Lavi?" Allen tilted a stick at the other, a speck of sauce flicked onto the redhead's fair skin. Lavi blinked. "Oh, sorry." With that, Allen inwardly smirked while placing his other hand on the table. He leaned over his dish carefully and brushed his tongue to Lavi's cheek. Lavi was frozen in shock, as Allen could imagine anyone who witnessed the exchange would be. Allen swiped his tongue over the spot twice to ensure the salty-sweet sauce was all gone, then sat back down and licked his lips.

Lavi blushed, Kanda stared, Lenalee giggled nervously. Ah, yes, he definitely took that opportunity and used it to the fullest extent. He stuck dango in his mouth and chewed as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. He licked his lips, Lenalee and Kanda were back to eating their breakfast while casting glances at the two. Allen looked over at Lavi. The redhead watched him intently, still blushing.
