….
She heard the rhythmic beeping as she slowly came to. It was a familiar sound and one she often heard in the infirmary… was that where she was? Allen opened her eyes and was greeted by the plain white ceiling.
It definitely was the infirmary as she gazed about her. The place never seemed to change, only the traffic that flowed through. Allen sighed and stared at the IV attached to her arm.
Then she heard creaking in the chair next to her. Allen glanced around and saw Kanda sitting quietly with mugen resting against his shoulder. His eyes were closed but she wasn't sure if he was sleeping.
Allen felt a smile tug at her lips; it was nice to know that he was there. It made the infirmary a lot less lonely when someone else was around.
'Aren't you going to say something?' Allen almost had a heart attack as Kanda opened his eyes and stared at her with those deep blue eyes.
'Should I say something?' Allen recovered and asked as Kanda smirked.
'You would usually apologize by now about something ridiculous,' yep, it was the same old Kanda. Allen sighed and tried to look for a clock but there didn't seem to be one.
'How long was I out?'
'Since last night, don't worry you haven't missed out on breakfast,' Kanda seemed to tease, which was totally out of his character. Allen frowned, wondering if he just failed at insulting her.
'You really know how to make people feel better,' Allen said sarcastically but Kanda just snorted as the door opened behind them.
'It's good to see you're awake Allen,' Allen recognized the matron instantly. Her face, despite looking a little intimidating was soft and friendly.
'Thank you matron,' Allen said with a smile as the woman stared at the clipboard in her hands.
'You had low blood pressure when you came in last night but I'll need a blood sample to make sure everything's all right,' Allen nodded and held out her right arm while the matron took out a needle and drew up some blood.
'I suggest that you go and get something to eat Allen and come see me again this afternoon,' Allen nodded as she got out of bed and put on a robe sitting beside the bed.
'Let's go Kanda,' Allen said to the motionless samurai still sitting beside her bed. He grunted but followed her out into the large hallway. The only sounds they heard were their footsteps and the dull murmuring of the science department several blocks away.
The cafeteria, thankfully, wasn't too far from the infirmary so the walk wasn't too long and as soon as she stepped into the busy dining hall a pair of arms wrapped around her.
'Allen, are you okay?' Allen registered the dark green hair and knew that it was Lenalee holding onto her.
'The matron said I was fine, Lenalee,' Allen reassured her as she managed to wriggle out of her friend's arms.
'Moyashi-chan~' She then dodged under Lavi's outspread arms slightly annoyed that he had to say that horrid nickname of hers. Unfortunately for him, Kanda had been standing behind her and the samurai easily whacked the redhead with his katana.
'You're both so mean…' Lavi grimace as Allen poked her tongue out at him childishly and ordered her food.
She sat down in front of Lenalee and Lavi who seemed to have gotten into some sort of conversation. Allen shrugged and devoured through her food within minutes, feeling oddly satisfied as she put down her fork.
'A glutton like always,' she caught Kanda's snide comment as he sat down beside her with his usual soba. She couldn't help but snicker at him.
'Comes with being a parasitic Kanda,' Allen knew Kanda was just being playful. In his own way, showing that he was glad she was her usual self. It was times like this that Allen couldn't help but treasure.
Being surrounded by friends and maybe something a little more with Kanda.
Her thoughts stopped when she caught onto the suspicious stares of Lavi and Lenalee.
'What?' She asked bewildered by her friends' reaction.
'It's nothing but I never thought I'd see you and Kanda on friendlier terms,' Lenalee said looking pretty amused as Allen hid her embarrassment with a scowl.
'I don't see why it's so important,' Kanda growled as Lavi threw back his head and laughed. That goofy grin of his was starting to annoy Allen.
'Something's going on between you two, right?'
'Mind your own fucking business baka usagi!' Allen glanced elsewhere as Kanda went to lacerate Lavi with his mugen. Lenalee seemed to gaze off towards where the two disappeared.
'Well I guess something's don't change,' Allen nodded in agreement and began collecting the empty dishes.
….
Allen walked back to the infirmary knowing that the matron wanted to check up on her progress from this morning. She entered the large room lined with beds and went about searching for the matron.
After about fifteen minutes, Allen had searched the entire room and still couldn't find her. She sighed before spotting a nurse carrying sheets.
'Do you know where the matron is?' Allen asked as the nurse paused and looked at her.
'I heard she went down to Komui's office,'
Why go to Komui's office? Allen frowned but thanked the nurse anyway as she headed towards the head supervisor's room. She didn't know what was going on, but this just couldn't be good.
