The pitter patter of droplets on the ground resounded against the walls, filling my ears. My vision swirled with forgotten images stained in red. The pretty pictures flocked into my heart where they quickly became marred by crimson. I gripped the only piece holding me to reality at the moment. Nothing will ever be the same.
"Damn you Lavi…" I pulled the metal away from my arm and stared. Red slid down my arms in a steady motion, somehow calming my ragged breaths. The black is quickly hidden with the color of red, reminding me of the way it used to be and the ridicule I got every day. I swiped a tear away with the hand holding my friend and brought it back to where I left off.
~*LENALEE'S POV*~
I padded my way down the hall smiling widely. I had a warm bath with Allen, all my work with Komui is over, and all I have left to do is visit Allen before heading to bed. I quickly made my way to Allen's room where the metallic hiss of the door welcomed me. Quietly sneaking in I peeked around. Where was he?
My gaze automatically shifted to the closed bathroom door. Figuring he was just relieving himself I sat on the bed and waited. Time slowly crept forward while the door remained shut. Nervousness filled my heart and spilled over when a small whimper came from behind the closed door. "Allen?"
"Lenalee!" Something inside fell over and a small "shit!" reached my ears.
"Are you okay Allen?" I walked forward and pressed an ear to the door. Inside I heard a thud and multiple swears.
"I'm fine Lenalee, don't worry." Something was definitely wrong. I activated my innocence and with one swift kick the door flung open. Inside I was shocked to find Allen standing in a puddle of blood gripping the sink with his right arm. A small glinting object in his right hand caused me to do a double take and stare at the nine long slashes taking up his arm all the way to his elbow.
"Allen! What the hell!" I ran over and was shocked to see Allen hold the blade to the untouched skin on his arm. His tear filled eyes stared at me with unbelievable confidence.
"Get out!" I grabbed for the blade but he swung his arm behind him, wiping blood across the side of his face. I made a mad dash for his arm and succeeded in effectively smacking it out of his hand, sending it skittering across the stained floor. "Stop it!"
Allen jumped for the blade but I knew exactly where this was going. In a quick motion I hopped on top of him and tried my best to hold a howling Allen down. Blood splashed around us at the impact. "Lenalee! Please!" I shook my head and dug my hands into the tiles on the floor to keep him from sliding forward. "PLEASE!" Tears poured down his face while he continued to slide forward with sudden energy. His shaking hand stretched towards the metal. Tears began filling in my eyes making my vision blurry. I definitely couldn't keep this up for long. Before he could reach it I made a quick decision.
"Sorry Allen." I grabbed his head and smacked the side of it into the flooring. His eyes rolled back into his head immediately. I winced at the sound and crawled off of him. The force was enough to knock him out but not seriously injure him.
Once I was sure he was okay I inspected his slashes. Blood poured profusely from them while the stench filled the air. My heart lit up in rage. I know exactly why Allen did this.
I reached over and took the towel off its hook, tying it to Allen's arm as a makeshift tourniquet. I rolled him over onto his back and wiped the blood from his face. I decided not to move him from his spot in fear of aggravating him further. Instead I took off at exceptional speed down the hallway towards the library. Somebody's going to pay.
My hands curled around the double door's handles and were quickly flung open. A startled rabbit looked up and smiled at me. "Hey Lenalee what's-" A swift smack to his face stopped him dead in his tracks. The sound cracked off his skin and filled the room with thunder. He turned his head from the side and stared at me with shocked eyes into my tear filled ones. "What the hell Lena?"
"You're an asshole! I can't believe you did that!" I got myself ready to slap him again but paused at his worried face. My hand slowly slid down to rest at my side where I curled it into a fist. "You're a fucking asshole."
"Lenalee, what's wrong?" He grabbed my hands and uncurled them from their tight fists.
"Allen cut himself you bastard! He's laying in his bathroom in a puddle of blood because of you! He kissed you! Get over it and stop ignoring him! I can't believe you could be so STUPID!" I watched as the color drained from his face. He quickly stood up and pushed me out of the way. I turned and followed him out the door to Allen's.
~*LAVI'S POV*~
Two sets of footsteps echoed down the hall below the sound of my blood pounding in my ears. I made a mad dash for the nursery to grab tools then took of to what was awaiting me. Please be lying…please by lying…PLEASE!
I pushed through the door and ran to the bathroom to find the white headed boy with his hair stained red. The puddle surrounded him and attacked him full force. My arms encircled him quickly and rushed to the bed with his light body. I slid the towel off and immediately inspected them. Nine gashes stared me in the face. My face paled and I immediately got to work on stitching them up.
During the whole procedure I pushed my emotions down and focused on fixing him up. He had stopped bleeding due to Lenalee's makeshift tourniquet which was great thinking. While I worked she got me up to pace on what had happened.
Once I finished with the final wrapping my barricade crashed and brought on the tears. I bent over Allen and let the tears flow. "I'm so sorry Allen…" My fingers twirled around the crimson strands of hair, reminding me of myself. I quickly frowned. This is all my fault.
A small shift underneath me brought me from my mental punishing. "L…Lavi?" I lifted my head from his chest and looked into his pale eyes. Tears slid down my face and a small smile played itself onto my lips.
"Hi Sprout." I ran my hand through his hair and watched his sad face. He turned his head and refused to look me in the eyes.
"Don't say anything about it." My eyes trailed to his bandaged arm. Small spots of blood became visible from below the white bandages.
"Allen, we need to talk about it." He shook his head and slapped at my hand resting on his shoulder.
"Leave me alone." The hurt in his voice covered the room.
Lenalee, sensing the tension in the air, came over to the bedside and smiled at him. "Hi Allen, how do you feel?"
"Okay…my head really hurts though." His head shifted over to look at her but refused to even acknowledge me.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't know what else to do and I was worried for you…" Lenalee frowned and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"It's okay, thank you Lenalee. I appreciate your quick thinking." She nodded and patted his head affectionately.
"Allen can we talk now?" He sighed and continued to stare away from me. Lenalee smiled at me and went out the door. I slid onto the bed and took a shaky breath.
"Fine…" My heart sped up at his words. This is my one and only chance…
"I'm so sorry for what I did to you Allen…I shouldn't of ignored you and acted like you weren't there. You acted out on how you honestly felt which resulted in a bitch move of mine to leave you like that. I guess I was nervous and thought running away was my best option. Clearly it was the worst thing I could do. I'm sorry…"
His head turned and displayed the tears sliding down his face. "You're an asshole…but I forgive you…this time." I smiled and placed my hand over his left.
"Thank you Allen. Please don't hurt yourself anymore…your arm is perfect." His breath visibly hitched in his throat. A small nod caused my fluttering heart to calm down slightly. "Thank you…" I leaned down and kissed his forehead gently. I watched his eyes flutter slightly before he rolled over away from my gaze.
"Yeah…no problem…I'm going to sleep now." I nodded and rubbed calming circles into his injured face. His eyes eventually slid closed as sleep overtook him leaving me to my thoughts. Time to figure myself out…
