Comment #1: A thank-you to those who took time to read this, wrote a review, put this on alert and/or favorite.
Comment #2: Sorry for the delay once again. Lately, I found myself to be absorbed in playing Tokimeki Memorial games on my DS, and it's too addicting. Aside from that, break time is over and school is back in session. *sighs*
"Holy mitarashi dango, what am I going to do?" Allie murmured as she paced back and forth on the rooftop, much to Timcampy's amusement. How could she have been so foolish and asked Kanda on a date? Well, it was not so much of a date since she only asked to accompany a brand new cell phone with her; but considering how he labeled it as one, and she did not deny it…
"Who knows?" Timcampy responded helpfully as he slurped on his newfound favorite strawberry milk drink. He could just sit back and drink it hours on end, and not get tired of it. In fact, he had already finished seven cartons of it in the last fifteen minutes, and had found that it was not bad to have fangirls to fund for his favorite drink.
"Tim! You have to help me~" Allie wailed with a pout as she stared at her housemate and childhood friend, who merely raised an eyebrow in response. "What am I going to do if I turn back in the middle of this outing?" she continued frantically.
Timcampy let out a scowl when he noted that he had already finished his eighth drink, and made a move to open his ninth carton. "Isn't that a good thing?" he inquired with a small smirk etching on his expression, and inserted a straw. "If he can't accept it then, you can end the engagement that much sooner," Timcampy stated with a grin, and then added slyly, "Isn't that what you wanted?"
"Yes, but…" Allie trailed off with a frown.
"But?" the platinum blond haired male prompted with a grin still plastered on his visage.
"Never mind…" Allie sighed as she resigned to her fate dejectedly. She still does not know why she had asked Kanda of all people… but she supposed better Kanda than someone she did not know. Then again… she had no idea what made her ask him or where she got the courage to do so.
Lavi merely raised an eyebrow when he noted Kanda walking back into the class with a smirk plastered on his best friend's face. The redhead was further puzzled when Kanda still had that smirk throughout the day, and even resorted to ask what he was smirking about. However, instead of giving a proper answer, Kanda merely smirked even wider in response, if that was possible, and that baffled Lavi more than he would let it show on his expression.
"Seriously, Yuu, you've been smirking all day, and frankly speaking, that's creeping me out," Lavi stated as he walked down the hall with the mentioned person.
Kanda did not say anything in reply as he put his hands in his pocket, and glared at Lavi for interrupting his good mood. Then again, he supposed he could share the good news, and rub it in the rabbit's face. An amused smirk slowly made its way to Kanda's expression at the thought, and he spoke, "Allie asked me out on a date."
"Are you serious!" Lavi openly gaped with his eyes widen in shock, and his jaws slacked.
Kanda let out an uncharacteristic amused chuckle as he walked away from the stunned rabbit, and said, "Like I said, Baka Usagi, Allie is mine."
Allie let out a soft sigh as she ran her hand through her hair while she waited for Kanda. She still does not believe that she had asked Kanda out on a date… it was a spur of the moment thing, and she was distracted by his eyes, as corny as that sounded no matter how she would rephrase it. Allie then resisted the urge to pull her hair, and to scream at the sky that she was turning more and more girly by the day. Seriously, what was wrong with her?
"Haven't I told you that if you keep sighing, happiness is going escape?" an amused voice startled Allie out of her reverie. She immediately took a step back, and nearly sighed in relieved when she noted that it was only Kanda.
'Hold that thought for a minute,' Allie's inner monologue began as her eyes widened in shock for a moment. 'Why in the world am I relieved to know that it's Kanda?' her thought continued as she narrowed her eyes rather suspiciously.
"Are you okay?" Kanda inquired with an eyebrow raised as he watched many emotions flashing on her expression. He could not help but note that it was rather amusing to see her acting this way, especially towards him. Kanda then inwardly shook his head when he realized that he had been acting out of character, especially when Allie is concerned.
The girl in question then snapped her out of monologue and responded, "O-of course! Why wouldn't I be?" as let out a huff with a scowl before she stalked ahead of him.
Kanda merely let out a chuckle when he saw slight red tints on her cheeks, and followed after her. It did not take him long to catch up to her pace, especially considering his long strides; and he momentarily paused to glance at her, silently noting how… cute she looked with the school uniform.
'What the hell am I thinking?' Kanda inwardly twitched at his thought, and quietly concluded that a certain rabbit must have drugged him when he was not looking.
Allie glanced sideways towards Kanda, silently awed by how…good (for the lack of a better term, and because she simply refused to say 'sexy') he looked in his uniform. 'What in the world am I thinking? I'm not turning gay,' she thought as she inwardly shook her head, and cleared her throat to say, "Ne, do you mind if we stop by the CD store first?"
"I don't mind," Kanda responded with a smirk as he put his hands in his pocket, and added, "Are you that anxious to get my newest CD?"
Instead of giving him a proper response, Allie merely smiled slyly in answer before she said, "Actually, I've had Deke's Venus song stuck in my head for a while, plus I especially like the beginning and the middle. So I'm planning to get that one."
Kanda twitched at her reply while he muttered various curses and death threats towards a certain rabbit, who just had to ruin his date with Allie and be mentioned in their conversation. "And why do you like his songs?" he could not help but ask.
"His voice is amazing," Allie answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, and as if she is not making Kanda more jealous than he was previously.
'And mine is not?' Kanda did not bother to inquire her that question, and instead had resorted to scowl at her figure. 'I thought you're my fan,' he nearly blurted that phrase out childishly.
"Of course, I rather like some of your songs," Allie continued with a smile as she looked up to see his expression, and let out a giggle at his scowling feature. "But I like it better when you're voice acting; why must you always voice good-looking characters?"
Kanda gave a small smirk at her second statement, and raised an eyebrow as he voiced, "Some?"
"Well, you know you don't release as much songs as Lavi does," Allie responded as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Don't tell me you're jealous about it."
"Of course not," he immediately responded with a scoff to further emphasize his point, and then added in a low murmur, "Why in the world would I be jealous about that?"
The chestnut haired girl merely hummed in response to indicate that she was listening; but she did not inject any other comments. "Ne, I've been wondering," Allie began as she glanced towards Kanda, and continued when she noted that she had his attention, "Did you choose me to be your fiancée or was the choice already chosen for you?"
"Why?" Kanda asked with an eyebrow raised whilst he inwardly questioned why she wanted to know that.
"Just answer me," Allie retorted as she looked away from his gaze, and then looked back at him as she waited for his reply.
"It was my choice to choose," he answered in an uncharacteristic calmness, and let out a smirk when Allie's eyes widened in surprise. "I have to say you are very unique," Kanda added with a bigger smirk, if that was possible, when he noted her dumbfounded expression.
'Don't tell me he knows about my real gender,' Allie thought with her brows slightly knitted in concentration, and her thoughts continued, 'If he does know then… does that mean he's… gay?'
"We're here," Kanda declared as he unknowingly interrupted Allie's thoughts, and entered into the store.
"It can't be right?" the chestnut haired girl murmured under her breath as she followed Kanda into the store.
"I'm telling you, this song is addicting," Allie commented as she gestured to Deke's Venus, and grabbed a headset that was playing a demo of the song. In one swift movement, she grabbed Kanda's uniform necktie to force him to her level before she quickly placed the headset on his head.
"Listen," she commanded as the corner of lips curled in a sadistic grin when she saw Kanda's scowling expression. Allie nearly melted into a puddle of incoherent mess when she heard a familiar verse from the headset on Kanda's head; but she immediately controlled herself to the best of her abilities. After all, he must not see her in her fangirling state; that would simply be embarrassing.
Juutori no ai no kotoba de kekkou boku ha seiippai
Oh my baby kimochi ga nakereba kiza nante saa ienai mono da yo
"I don't like it," that was the first thing Kanda stated as he took off the headset, and added with a grunt, "There is no way I'm going to listen to Baka Usagi sing."
"Aww, but it was such a good song," Allie pouted as she grabbed a CD from the rack, and then headed to another session, quickly grabbing another CD before her date saw what she grabbed.
"Don't tell me you're his fan," Kanda commented in near disbelief as he inwardly wonder why, of all reasons, Allie is Lavi's fan. Wasn't she his fan?
"Are you, perhaps, jealous?" Allie retorted slyly with a grin as she paid for her purchases, and dragged Kanda out of the store.
"Of course not," Kanda scoffed in retaliation as he put his hands in his pocket, and added, "I'm way better than that rabbit."
"Uh-huh, keep telling yourself that," Allie answered in disbelief with a grin plastered on her expression. "Don't worry~ I'm still your fan."
Kanda did not know if he should be happy about her statement or think that she only said it because she pitied his position. In any case, he was rather glad to know that she still likes him. With that conclusion, he let out a small unnoticeable smile.
"Kanda-kun," a female voice called out from behind the duo.
Allie blinked in confusion as she and Kanda paused in their track before turning around to face the owner of the voice. She let out a twitch of annoyance when she realized that it was a female who called Kanda. She further twitched and scowled when that female gave him a hug, and Kanda did not do anything to push her away.
'Just who is she!' Allie screamed in her mind, and inwardly told herself that she was not jealous in any shape or form.
"How are you doing?" the female asked with what it seemed to be a sweet smile, and continued, "I haven't seen you and Lavi-kun for quite some time now."
"I'm doing well, and Baka Usagi is Baka Usagi," Kanda responded curtly as he finally pulled away from the hug, and added, "Allie, this is Lenalee Lee, my childhood friend. Lenalee, this is Allie Walker, my fiancée."
"Nice to meet you," Lenalee stated with a sweet smile as she extended her hand for a handshake.
"Likewise," Allie responded as she shook hands with the other girl, and then glanced at Kanda and Lenalee before she uttered, "Looks like you two have some catching up to do. I'm going to finish the shopping myself then."
"Wait, Allie," Kanda called out uncharacteristically as he looked at the two females and nearly groaned outwardly at the situation he found himself in. As far as he knew, such things only happened in dramas, and last time he checked, real life was not a drama show.
"It's alright, Kanda-san," Allie smiled sweetly as she adjusted her school bag, and said, "You haven't seen each other in a while. I'll see you at school, and it was nice meeting you, Lee-san."
"But—" Kanda started as he watched his date walking away from him, and made a move to catch up the Allie, when Lenalee held onto his arm.
"She said it's alright, Kanda-kun," Lenalee spoke with a smile, and further added, "Besides, like she said, we haven't seen each other in a while. I have so much to tell you."
Kanda resorted to send a death glare towards Lenalee with a scowl planted on his expression. 'As much as I do not want to believe it, I bet she planned this,' that was the only thought that ran in his mind as he tuned out her chatters, and could not help but feel that it was not alright even though Allie said otherwise minutes earlier.
Comment #3: Song used is Venus by Suzumura Kenichi. Don't own it, etc. etc.
