"hmmm...!"ling laid he head on his pillow.

Every morning ling would spend a good half a hour in his room alone grooming him self and head out. The only people who knew what he did in his room during that time were his 2nd eldest dragon gyu who stayed by his side.

"you sure we should be doing this?"joy asked .

"hey ling finally healed from his broken limb ."angle said.

"...but just walking into his room at this time of the morning."joy didn't like her plan.

"his a great friend he wouldn't care."angel pulled out her master key.

Angel was given a master key on her 14th birthday by jerry for emergency uses only with the black order as a return for helping him out in kitchen from time to time. The girls wanted ask ling to fly them down to near by town on one of his dragon. It was the reason why angel was using to the key to surprise ling so early in the morning not knowing he was doing.

"hey ling!"angel swings his door open.

"ANGEL !"ling wasn't happy to see her.

Angel saw ling's face was flushed and his pants were pushed down to his ankles with a towel near by his hands. She had to so pulled joy back out the room very happy she was blind as ling cover him self up with the rest face from embarrassment.

"joy wait here."angel told her.

"alright?"she stood outside ling's door.

Ling dressed in his uniform taking a 20 minute shower and changing his clothes tossing them in the hamper. He stood in his bed room with angel with gyu resting at his feet as they were eye to eye blank faces.

"i am man i have needs."he answered her.

"i know!" she was still blushing.

"why are you still red in the face the face?"he looked to her.

"trying to get the image you handling your self down there out of my head."she had her arms crossed.

"alright i do that in secret of my room to rid my self of my morning erection."he sighed.

"when allen gets his morning erection he take cold showers."that popped into angel's head.

"lucky him."ling pulled his gloves on.

"I'm not telling anyone of your erection secret ."angel said.

"hey no body knows whats lavi's real name like that don't know i pleasure my self."ling lapped his lights off.

Angel knew they were in back in the comfort zone of being friends after angel found a personal secret of ling's. The truth about angel and secret is she never tells anyone once it is told to her for the first time. along with joy she never tell anyone a secret once it was told to her as ling angel exited him room to find her waiting for them .

"have a nice chat?"joy ask.

"yes ."angel said.

"please don't tell anyone."begged ling.

"i would never tell a friend's secret."she smiled at him.

"good."angel agreed.

"taking about friends wouldn't you and allen be in the dining hall by now eating together."ling looked to angel.

"tried waking him ."angel sighed.

Allen had come back from a 2 moth mission that had to do with the escort of princess who was to hand over her 3 cubes innocent . instead a akuma level three dressed as the princess's soon to be finee tried killing them. Allen and arystar didn't get any sleep since the princess kept them on guard 24/7 as she flirted with all the guys in the castle but them. When the akuma was caught and killed by them they got the cubes of innocent off they went to black order with their finder. When allen got to his room that night they returned to the black order he changed in to his night clothes, crawled into bed, and fell a sleep with angel wrapped in his arms.

"joy what is it?"ling looked to her.

"i have a crush on arystar."joy whispered.

"WHAT?"angel looked to her .

"she has a crush on arystar."repeated ling.

"you have a crush on me?"a voice joy knew will rings in her ears.

What the small group of young exorcists didn't know was they had stopped walking while they were talking in front of arystar's room. Joy was pointed to by ling who repeated what she said about having crush on arystar. Who stood outside his door still wearing his night clothes stunned him self the new girl had a huge crush on him. Everyone thought he never got over the death of eliade since he was never seen dating any other females with in out the black order.

"good morning."joy mumbled out to arystar.

"yeah ."ling looked at joy.

"hi."angel waved to him.

"about this crush business?"yawned arystar.

"spill ."ling pushed joy arystar's way.

"i like you ."she looked him over .

"..."he stood there blinking.

"I FORGOT!"angel shouted.

"WHAT?"everyone yelled at her .

"i have to get the stretches removed ."angel remembered .

"I'll come with you."ling walked toward her.

"hey guys!"joy was left alone with arystar.

Arystar on the other hand was staring at joy who was in uniform wearing as her ribbon and purple eye cover as will. He met joy before during the party that allen got drunk at seeing that she was sweet girl with glowing smiled and had great charm to her. He wanted to talk to her more but the pain and memory eliade's face appeared in his mind but joy appeared in his heart. So by force of sheer will on his own drive he left the party before the music even started for dancing. The only thing holding him back from wanting joy as his own was his self not wanting to betray eliade his 1st love.

"they say 1st loves are hard to get over."joy's voice entered his mind.

"eliade was a women to me."he placed his hand over his heart.

"at least i an avenging her name."he smiled.

"will then i will leave you alone then."joy turned to leave.

He hand was then grabbed by his stopping her in her on tracks as the words may i join you were answered with alright I'll wait out here . arystar quickly hurried back in to his room to groom and change into his clothes. Joy was stunned to he did that under hour and half coming out his room with his uniform on looking good as he ever to her own eyes.

In the med-wing...

"here we go!"a lab tech removed the last of angel's stenching.

the stenches that were on angel's wings and spots connecting her wings to her back were removed she was high painkillers. It was time to get them removed she her two week due date had come up.

"you think joy would kill us for leaving her alone."angel held on ling's hands tightly.

"no?"ling was holding back his pain.

"alright."angel smiled.

"the bandaging done miss. freeman you can leave now. "lab tech dismissed her.

"let get something to eat."ling helped angel to her feet.
