Don't you just hate when your mom insists you get your hair cut and you're dragged into the shop at like 8? Yeah |D

It wasn't ten minutes after the shop opened that Kanda was dragging a still groggy Allen into it. He was set on Allen getting his hair cut; he was tired of seeing Allen as that dirty whore he'd first met. Now he wanted to see Allen as his cute (secret) boyfriend. Allen however, didn't care, and was just following Kanda for the sake of being with him, not to mention Kanda's hand firmly grasping his wrist wasn't much different from holding hands.

Kanda told the hair stylist what he wanted for Allen, shoved the money onto the counter and plopped into a seat. His evil demeanor was back, but Allen was apathetic to it. He knew what Kanda could be like, and he smiled to himself at the thought. He waved to Kanda before he was led back for his hair cut.

Kanda spent his wait on the phone with Cross, talking about the case. Nothing new had been found out and no one had spotted The Earl yet. Kanda cursed under his breath, trying to keep his conversation quiet so the people around him wouldn't hear.

"This is just great," he mumbled.

"You're telling me. Look, just keep an eye peeled, I gotta go," Cross hung up. Kanda then dialed Lavi to see if he could spare ten minutes for a chat.

"Yello~~?" Lavi hummed into the phone.

"Hey," Kanda said.

"EEEEEEE Yu-Chan called me again!" Lavi began jumping up and down.

"Ha ha," Kanda faked.

"Whatcha doin'?" Lavi asked.

"At the hair place."

"D'n't tell me you're cuttin' yer hair!" Lavi squealed in disappointment.

"No I'm not cutting my hair. Just waiting for Allen. He was that kid I told you about."

"Oh?" Lavi was curious now.

"Yeah, I hope you don't mind but he's staying at your house with me. He didn't have anywhere to go and he's kind've hiding out from our suspect."

"OOoo, sound'terrible," Lavi calmed down enough to be serious.

Kanda nodded, "Yeah. Felt bad for him, next thing I know…" He hesitated.

"Yaaaaaw?" Lavi said.

"Next thing I know," Kanda breathed, Lavi was his best friend, he knew, "we're in bed…"

"Eewww you did THAT on m'bed?"

"MY bed," Kanda corrected.

"T'still mine!" Lavi whined, but laughed afterwards, "No really, Yu, m'happy for ya, really I am! C'n't wait t'meet this cutey~"

Kanda blushed, "Wh-what…?"

"He's gotta b'cute if you like'im."

"How would you know what I like?" Kanda growled.

"Coz'm cute. 'nyway, whatcha two doin' after hair cut?" Kanda could hear clacking through the phone.

"Nothing. Going back to your house for lunch."

"Awww no fun. Y'should take'im out!" Lavi mumbled.

"I don't want to announce to the world that the Best Federal Agent in the world isn't straight," Kanda whispered.

"Course you don't, ya aren't, but y'ain't gay neither, Yu."

Kanda shrugged, "Can we chance the subject?"

"Sure! M'having a great time here'n Cali! S'great, you should'ome wit me sometime."

"I hate the beach," Kanda reminded.

"Awww, Yu! But'da hot people! Th'breeze! Th'waves! Ho'can ya not like it?" Lavi was practically begging for him to come in his own way.

"Whatever. What time are you getting back? I'm leaving in 3 days."

"Oh? M'flights n'two days. Be home'y noon hop'fully. But really? Three'ays?"

"Yeah, three days. I was only given enough time to solve this crime, Lavi. I can't stay forever."

"Ya takin' yer catch wit ya?"

"Shut up. I gotta go. My catch is finished, see ya," Kanda hung after hearing Lavi grunt his goodbye.

Kanda stood up and smiled when Allen walked back out. He now had a part down the middle with the long bangs framing his face, but letting the scar stay in plain view. His hair was neat and fluffy instead of messy and pasted his head. Kanda took Allen's wrists again and pulled him over to the side.

"How do I look? I told the lady not to show me," Allen smiled.

"Why?" Kanda asked, a perplexed look on his face.

"I want to be surprised! So how do I look?" Allen asked, super chipper.

"You look cute, just what I was going for," Kanda said, swiping some bangs to the side more. When people did glance up to see them, it looked more like Kanda was just taking care of him, making sure he was ok and not hurt.

"So what are we doing now?" Allen grumbled, holding his stomach.

"Well, I called Lavi and he suggest we go out to eat, if that's what you want."

"I-I'd love to!" Allen kept his voice low. Kanda smiled.

"Then we'll go out to eat. Before I came, Lavi told me about this great restaurant, we'll go there, ok?"

Allen nodded and was happily led out by the arm by his happy lover.

However, Kanda didn't stay happy. The minute he walked out into the hot Nevada heat and the sun was blocked from his face, he was angry again.

"It's been a while since I've seen my sweet Allen," The Earl said, a smug look on his face. "I do hope you're taking care of him, Agent Kanda."

Kanda shoved his phone into Allen's hands and whispered, "Allen, speed dial 9; tell Cross what's going on, and stay here or so help me—" he took off down the street, chasing the runaway suspect.

The Earl was fast, running down the side-walk. He pushed people out of his way and into Kanda's, jumping over various objects and continuing on his way. The whole time a smile of amusement on his face.

People were thrown in front of him, but Kanda didn't care. His years in basketball paid off as he half pushed and half jumped over them to continue on his running. He was angry; he was going to kill The Earl if that's what it took to stop this bastard.

When The Earl took a sharp turn, Kanda followed, gaining distance quickly. He'd never been the best sports person, but when it came down to it, he could run for miles at top speed if it meant The Earl would finally get the death penalty, the only punishment he deserved.

His hopes were brought to a whole new level when he saw Cross dash across the street into an alley parallel to the one that The Earl was turning into. Kanda smirked as he picked up his speed, gaining more distance. Once in the alley way, The Earl was forced to slow down when he realized Cross was blocking his path, gun in his hand.

BOOM! Kanda tackled the man to the ground. He sat in his back and pulled his hands into a tight binding using his hands. Cross tossed him handcuffs and he cuffed him.

"You're under fucking arrest you fucking bastard," Kanda sneered, jabbing his hand into a pressure point, causing his arm to go limp.

"Kanda!" Cross shouted. Kanda jumped up to his feet and pulled The Earl with him.

"I'll do what I want," He slammed The Earl into the wall, pushing him in as hard as he could. "You're going to jail, and I'll make sure you get that damn death penalty, got it? And if you EVER mess with Allen again, I swear I'll kill you myself!"

The Earl chuckled, "You're so hilarious, Agent Kanda. What makes you think I want that dirty bitch back?"

Kanda slammed him into the bricks again.

"Kanda!" Cross shouted, pushing Kanda away. He stumbled backwards and tried to catch his footing. Cross apprehended The Earl and started to leave the alley as he called someone on his phone.

"Sorry," Kanda mumbled.

"Just calm down, go get some food or something," Cross suggested.

"Allen!" Kanda suddenly remembered he'd left Allen standing at the hair place. Not that he was worried or anything, no he was terrified. He pushed his way out of the alley and took off running in the direction he came.

He was relieved to see Allen sitting on the ground leaning against the wall. It'd taken him forever to convince Allen to wear some of Lavi's old clothes. Kanda used the rest of his strength and stamina to run up to Allen and lift him off the ground.

"AH!" Allen gasped, shocked at the sudden lifting.

"We're going to lunch now," he said, walking over to the dark Mazda and setting Allen in the passenger's seat, just like a doll.

Allen smiled and kept that smile until Kanda scooted into the driver's seat.

After the lunch, the two went to the movies together just to see some random movie and spend some time in the back kissing. They both thoroughly enjoyed it, very glad that it didn't go any farther than that as well. Once home, they turned on an actual movie that they would watch. Curling up on the couch, Kanda hit the play button and the Netflix movie shot into action. Allen nuzzled closer, asking with his adorable smile for Kanda to hold him tightly. He wouldn't tell him out loud, but he wasn't a big fan of horror movies like Kanda. He was scared, but rejoiced when Kanda wrapped his arm around him.

Not 30 minutes into the movie was Allen hiding his eyes from the TV. He didn't want to watch, but he wouldn't tell Kanda and he wouldn't give him any signs that he was scared. Those mismatched hands just hid his silver eyes and that was it. He was trying to think of some excuse to go upstairs for even just a minute, and he had the perfect one.

"K-kanda?" he tugged on Kanda's dress shirt.

"Hm?" Kanda mumbled, focused on the TV.

"Can I go get changed into some comfortable?"

Kanda nodded and released the boy so he could escape to the upstairs. Once he was changed back into a long dress shirt and his boxers, he rejoined Kanda ten minutes later. Kanda hadn't seemed to realize he was gone, but responded when Allen tugged on his arm. After allowing Allen to snuggle back down, he immediately was frightened.

He threw his hands up to hide his eyes, not wanting to see what was happening. Kanda wouldn't have noticed, being the observant person he is, but his eyes travelled down to Allen when he started shaking.

"Hey," Kanda said, straightening up and hitting pause on the remote, "Hey, Moyashi, what's wrong?" He gripped Allen's shaking shoulders.

Allen looked up from his hands, ashamed he'd let himself be found out, "N-nothing…wh-why'd you s-stop the movie…?" His pretending that he cared wasn't at all convincing.

"You're shaking," The federal agent observed, holding Allen tighter.

"I-I'm s-sorry!" Allen threw up his hands. Obviously he'd taken the tighter holding as anger and not a way to stop the shaking.

Kanda took a hold of his hands and kissed them both once, "Don't be sorry, sweetheart. If you were scared, you should've just told me. I would've stopped the movie a long time ago."

"B-But…y-you were enjoying it…" Allen gripped Kanda's shirt as he buried his face in it.

"Yeah, but I won't enjoy it knowing my poor baby is scared," Kanda rubbed his back soothingly.

"Wh-what…?" Allen looked up.

"You're scared, so I won't enjoy it anymore knowing that I scared you," Kanda reworded.

Allen smiled and hugged Kanda. He kept his face just far enough way that Kanda could kiss him if he chose. Kanda took that invitation and kissed the smaller boy, holding him tightly in his arms.

Allen hoped that this could be this way forever, but Kanda knew better than that. When the clock hit midnight, he'd have 2 days left.

I always love the *watch the scary movie so i can snuggle close to you* scene |D it's so cute.
