Chapter 25: Big Sister Complex
Lenalee did not approve.
When Lavi had come out into the open and announced quite loudly that he was together with Allen, Lenalee's overprotective genes (she inherited that from her brother) came flaring into liveliness. No one was supposed to touch Allen, no one was worthy to stand alongside Allen, heck, no one should speak with Allen!
In Lenalee's eyes, Allen was her precious little brother; innocent and naive to the cruel, harsh world outside. Although she had borne witness to Allen's innate ability and strength as an exorcist, his angelic image remained permanent in Lenalee's mind. Acting a lot like Komui, she never allowed anyone to think about Allen the wrong way. Especially if that anyone was zeroed in on the hyperactive bunny with an insatiable libido!
Okay, maaaaybe she was exaggerating. You cannot blame her! She had heard about Lavi's complicated flings and one-night stands all too many times, giving her a vivid image of the perfect playboy that had no regards whatsoever on the subject of 'romance' and 'loyalty'. Because of that, Lenalee had more than once tried to dissuade Allen's decision about the surprise relationship.
"Lenalee, I think you worry too much! Lavi's a good man!" Allen had all but comforted the restless Chinese, but Lenalee was far from reassured. Who knows what that monster would do to her precious Allen!
From that day onwards, Lenalee tried her best to separate the doomed couple before Lavi could break Allen's already-fragile heart. She tried stealing Allen away from Lavi at every chance she gets, she made Lavi go on countless of missions that was 'coincidentally' located far FAR away from the headquarters.. Hell, she even moved Allen's bedroom to the opposite wing from Lavi's own! Steadfast with determination, Lenalee protected Allen's pure chastity with vigilance and confidence.
Alas, all her efforts were in sad vain. For every wedge she forced between the two men, the couple would miraculously find themselves together again as if drawn by the red string of fate. Time after time, Lenalee could only watch as Allen's silvery eyes lovingly gaze only at Lavi, while Lavi's own good eye would scan the surroundings protectively. Slowly, yet surely, Lenalee could see changes in both of them; Allen grew kinder (if that was even possible, with his overly large heart!) and mature, whilst Lavi reigned himself in and deny the childishness instinct whenever the situation called for serious attempts.
But, Lenalee still would not approve.
It could be some coy to put her guard down, make her comfortable and relaxed. And before she knew it, Lavi could be snatching Allen and kidnap him to another unknown country far away and change their names so that they wouldn't find them and God knows what the evil Lavi would do to the poorly deprived Allen! Lenalee was all ready to rip her hair off when her imagination ran free on high.
As she walked alongside the two lovebirds inside the cafeteria, murmurs and glares were shot to the both men. Lenalee scoffed at them as she pulled her two friends away. There were others that didn't approve of their relationship as well, and they resorted to dirty and low tricks to break them apart. Lenalee prided herself to at least be open-minded towards their relationship before disapproving the bond, but it would seem that some people just didn't reach that level of maturity yet. With unashamed sneers and outright insults, the people of Black Order shouted their discontent.
"You don't deserve to be with Allen!"
"Worthless scum!"
"So much for being the future Bookman!"
"How could Allen do something like this?!"
Lenalee felt guilty as she watched the couple being bombarded by the crowd. Allen was near tears, but stood his ground beside his lover like he was meant to be there all along. Her little angel was silently crying underneath his silver bangs, and that was all it took to make Lenalee see dark red. She was about to retort and come to Allen's defense when Lavi did the job for her.
Growling angrily, he pulled Allen into a mashing-kissing competition. The crowd went from rampaging riot to pin-drop silence as Lavi continued his passionate kiss to Allen like nobody's business. Allen's arms held Lavi's shirt tightly as he tiled his head to further the kiss, and Lavi obliged the wordless request.
After a long period of hot make out, Lavi released the now-gasping Allen and he covered his younger lover from the shock view of the crowd. Making that same animalistic growl and glaring at them using the 'Kanda-Style', he spoke with deep conviction and left no doubts,
"Allen is mine! If you have a problem with me, come fight me! But make a remark about Allen again, I'll rip you to shreds and feed your carcasses to the Akumas outside!"
Without buying any food or speaking another word, Lavi pulled Allen out of the quiet cafeteria and led him to his bedroom for some needed intimate comfort. Lenalee stood rooted to the same spot, reveling on the aghast look on the spectators faces. Smiling inwardly to herself, she ordered the right amount of food for 2 full grown men and exited with high shoulders and even higher spirits.
Lenalee still did not approve of their relationship.
But her opinion may vary...
