I tugged on Kanda's sleeve, not how to break the news that my Guardian, if you can call him that, was back in town. My gut twisted with discomfort as Kanda looked down at me.
"What's up Bean Sprout?" Kanda's dark eyes glinted in the afternoon sun, stealing my resolve for the moment. I lost the ability to speak for the time being, instead of answering I kept walking until I bumped shoulders with Lavi, leaving a very confused and probably mad Kanda behind. Lenalee was off looking at the seals swim while Lavi watched her. He started with a jolt, looking around making sure no one saw that he was watching Lenalee.
"Don't worry my lips are sealed." I zipped my lips for emphasis. Lavi rubbed the back of his neck, grinning.
"Yeah, I think I need some fresh air over here." Lavi went a little ways from me and I tried to follow when someone, a very angry someone, bumped into me.
"Bean Sprout," Kanda growled, sending the air on my arms standing straight up. His voice vibrated through my body. I shivered despite the warm sun hitting me.
"Yeah?" I asked, looking anywhere but Kanda. He glared at me before grabbing my upper arm and dragging me away from Lavi.
I didn't try to resist much to my surprise and Kanda's too. He pulled me next to the duck pond that was further down from the seals. Lavi looked on in wonder, but didn't try to stop Kanda. Little baby ducklings passed by my feet and hopped in the water. It was adorable. I didn't have much time to continue looking at the ducks when Kanda turned me towards him, his face close to mine, invading my personal space. "You've been acting weird ever since you got that text earlier. Tell me what's going on or I push you in the pond." Kanda threatened. His threat lost some of the sting with how his eyes softened for just a moment. It struck like lightening that Kanda really wanted to know what was wrong. He didn't want to throw me in the pond. Well then again he might want to. My heart skittered to a stop before slamming against my ribs again.
I inhaled deeply, knowing I'd never get away with a lie, not with Kanda. I twisted my hands together suddenly finding my shoes very fascinating. A finger gently lifted my chin. "You can tell me Bean Sprout."
"Don't call me that." I mumbled automatically.
"What else am I supposed to call you?" Kanda nuzzled his nose with mine. Warm breath cascaded over my cheeks. I tried to pull away not wanting people see, but Kanda got a tight grip on my arm.
I paused, letting his presence calm my racing heart. It wasn't such a good idea, since he makes my heart race no matter what. "You can actually call me by my name."
"I might if you tell what's going." Kanda pulled away. I felt the loss of his warmth greatly. I shook off the odd feeling of suddenly needing him closer.
I kicked a rock in the pond, startling the ducks and fish. They scattered while I winced. "My Guardian, Cross is back in town."
"And that's bad because?"
I opened my mouth when Lenalee and Lavi appeared on either side of me. "What's going on over here?" Lavi asked, smile splitting his face.
"Cross is back in town." I delivered the news without buckling under the pressure of Cross being back.
Lavi's smile faded, his shoulders slumped, and he ran a hand over his face. "You've got to be kidding me?"
"Afraid not." I pulled out my phone, showing him the text.
"This is so not cool."
"Maybe it won't be that bad this time Allen." Lenalee tried to remedy the situation by being up beat even though she looked deflated. Even her pig-tails seemed to droop.
"Is it really that bad?" Kanda asked. Brow furrowed, nose wrinkled in confusion.
Lavi answered before I could. "Yes. You have to let Allen stay with you for a few days while Cross is here."
"No." Kanda didn't even have to think about it. I rubbed my hand over my heart, knowing that it was slowly breaking with Kanda sudden dismissal. It's not like I expected him to put me up, but having him reject the idea so quickly hurt me more than I'd like to admit.
"Okay then you can stay over at my house." Lavi offered without batting an eyelash. That certainly got Kanda's attention.
"Excuse me?" Kanda seethed. Crimson bloomed on his cheeks like a deadly flower.
Lavi shrugged, grabbing the back of my shirt, pulling me closer to his side. "You'll have to ride with me. We can drive to your house and get your things. I'm sure Cross won't mind. He never has." Lavi deliberately ignored Kanda's question. Kanda looked like he was ready to explode.
"Now, now let's get going before it gets too late." Lenalee hooked her arm with mine and led the way back to the parking lot. "You okay?" She whispered when we had put some distance between Kanda and Lavi who were quietly arguing.
"Ah, well you know." I leaned closer to Lenalee, not caring if Kanda could see. Let him. I'm too tired to care.
"No I don't. Tell me."
Lenalee's hair brushed my cheek. It smelled like flowers or something like them. I bathed in her warm aura. Wanting to feel better about Kanda's blatant rejection. It's not like I thought I was going to be staying with him or Lavi. I actually thought I might stay around while Cross was there. I don't dislike like him, it's just he can be... a little overwhelming. All the time. On second thought staying at Lavi's might be the best idea I've heard all day.
"Kanda's saying no hurt. More than I thought it would."
"Oh, Allen." Lenalee stopped walking. She gathered me in her arms, hugging me tight. Kanda appeared in my vision. I closed my eyes, blocking out the coldness in his eyes and hugged Lenalee back.
"Bean Sprout, you're staying with me," Kanda said through clenched teeth. Lenalee released me, patted my arm, and went over to Lavi, who was smirking.
Confusion jolted through me. "Huh?" I narrowed my eyes at Kanda, trying to gage if he was joking. I should know better, Kanda never jokes.
"Well maybe I don't want to stay with you. I never said I wanted to stay with you." I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Then don't. I don't care what you do." Kanda turned around marched away from me. I felt a smile tug at my lips. I almost laughed, but covered it up with a cough. Kanda really doesn't know how to say what he wants.
Knowing that he wanted me stay calmed my troubled heart. I went to stand with Lavi and Lenalee, waiting patiently for Kanda to cool off. "What on earth did you say to him that made him change his mind?" I asked Lavi.
His smirk grew into a grin. "Oh, nothing really. Just that if you stayed with me that gave me ample opportunity to try and take advantage of you."
I blushed, not sure if I should be thankful or not. "You didn't?"
"Oh, you better believe I did. And I might've gone into detail about what I planned to do if I got my hands on you. He didn't let me get very far. I thought he was going to blow a fuse the longer he listened." Lavi watched Kanda walked toward us, hands shoved in his front pockets.
I turned to Lenalee who shooed me away. "Go tell him you'll being staying with him before Lavi gets a hold of him again."
"Got it." I was about to go to Kanda when I turned back to Lavi. "What exactly did you tell him you'd do to me?"
Lavi shook his and tisked. He covered my ears with his hands. "Earmuffs for you. If Kanda can't handle dirty talk then you can't either. Definitely not for virgin ears." I knocked his hands away, heat rising to my cheeks.
"No wonder he was so pissed." I mumbled when I went to Kanda. Lenalee was smiling, shaking her head at Lavi's plan. One of these days he's going to cause my heart to stop. I just know it's going to happen.
Kanda was leaning against a tree, shade protecting him from the heat of the sun. I noticed his eyes leisurely travel up and down my body. My heart sped up a bit. What did Lavi tell him? On second thought I don't want to know. My mind can paint a picture on its own just fine. If Kanda's thinking what I'm thinking then I might be in trouble. If I stay with him for a few days I don't know how long I can keep my hands off him. He's very hard to resist.
"Hey." I stood right next to him. I watched Lavi take Lenalee in the gift shop from the looks of it she wanted a stuffed giraffe. Kanda stayed silent, moving pebbles beneath his shoes. "So if the offers still on the table I'd like to stay with you."
"Fine." Kanda's response was rough and had a growl to it, but made my body tremble with anticipation. Kanda pushed away from the tree. I followed his example, taking a deep breath. I'm going to be staying Kanda. I broke out in a nervous sweat. I think I might be sick. My feelings were all jumbled. I wanted to stay with Kanda then again I didn't want to stay with Kanda. This is practically a dream come true. Now that it's here I don't know what to do. I tripped over a rock, bracing my body for the impact of the ground. Before my body was introduced to the ground Kanda's arms were around. He pulled me against his chest which was warm and wonderful. My legs turned to jelly while he held me. "Be careful Bean Sprout." Kanda let me go just as quickly as he caught me.
I lagged behind him trying to catch my breath. Yeah this might be really hard. I can barely handle him catching me when I fall, how can I stay with him for days? I shook my head. There's nothing that can stop me from doing it. Unless, Cross tries to. I let that thought fall from my mind. Cross may suck sometimes...most of the time, but he wouldn't do that.
I caught up to Lenalee, Lavi, and Kanda at the exit. Lenalee was holding a stuff giraffe close to her chest. Lavi's face was bright red, eyes dancing with laughter. Lenalee was happy and so was he. "Everyone ready to go?" Lavi bounced around us.
"Let's just go." Kanda's bad mood was still around. Not that I was complaining. I was staying with him. I'll take him with a bad mood or a good one although I'd prefer the good mood. I'm not sure if I've seen him a good mood. A slightly less bad mood, but never really a good mood.
"Okay then you two we'll see Monday." Lavi waved going to his car.
Lenalee embraced and whispered in my ear. "Have fun okay? He really does want you with him."
"I will. But Lavi painted some pictures that aren't going anywhere soon."
"Tell me about it. I almost had to cover my ears." Lenalee pulled away and covered her ears. I laughed, not able to fight it off. "See you later."
"Bye, Lenalee, Lavi." I got in Kanda's truck, stomach filling up with butterflies.
We drove in silence. Kanda's mood not improving, he didn't feel as cold as he did earlier. I watched the landscape pass by in a blur and before I knew it we were at my house. No sign of Cross's car in sight. I let out a sigh of relief. "I'll grab a bag really quick."
"I'll come with you."
"You don't have...that sounds good."
I got out of his truck, Kanda on my heels, waiting for me to open the door. I opened it to find Cross staring down at me, hat covering his eyes. They glinted with emotions that I couldn't begin to identify. "Oh!" I squeaked. My body went numb with shock. Kanda put a hand on the small of back waking me from my daze.
"And who's this?" Cross asked, tone revealing nothing. I stood there shell shocked not knowing what to say or do while Kanda rubbed soothing circle's on my back. My brain shut off while we all stared at each other. Wow! I didn't think Cross would be waiting for me right at the door. Silence enveloped the room while he waited for my reply.
Yay! Chapter 10 is done XD
