That Awkward Moment from Cana99:

That awkward moment when your mom takes away your iPod while you're reading a make-out scene between Allen and Kanda. Then later, she asks you why you were reading smut in front of your brother.

Thanks Cana!

Situation

Chapter 51: Conversations

As far as I knew, Golden Corral was on the other side of town from "Babies R Us", so it would supposedly take a half hour, at least. That being said, I was a little tired, and of course with my luck, I had my favorite pillow sitting next to me, looking out the window with the ever-present scowl on his face.

Lavi, Lenalee, and Fou were having a conversation about what happens when you put a blob of sodium in a beaker of water, though I would think the result would be obvious, but that's just me. While they were engaged in their chat, I move to sit in Kanda's lap, my legs perpendicular to his and sticking out over the car seat, and nuzzle my face into his chest kittenishly. His arms wrap around me to keep me from falling and he whispers, "Are you really that tired?"

Whimpering, I nod and close my eyes, "Yeah, just wake me up…later…."

"Okay, Kitten," he murmured before I fell into a light doze.

oO_Oo_oO_Oo

"Allen!"

Immediately awake, I jerk at the loud noise in my ear before snuggling into the heat next to me and whining, "Kanda, stop being mean. I just want to sleep…."

"Hey! I'm Lavi, not Yu!" the obnoxious voice that had awoken me up said before yelping and seeming to run away. My ears pick up a sigh which is followed by, "We're at Golden Corral, Kitten."

Bolting up at the mention of the endless buffet, I jump up and bump into Fou, who giggled, "Calm down! The food won't run away."

"How do you know that? It could if there's Innocence here!" I object, feeling arms wrap around my waist and pulling me to something solid. The owner of the arms whispers in my ear, "So pushy. Do I need to correct that in front of everyone and show them what a little mewler you are?"

Freezing, I stutter, "N-no, I'll b-be good!"

"Yes, you will. Still tempting through," Kanda continues, running his tongue over the shell of my ear and holding me close so I can't escape. Two and a half pairs of eyes burn into me as I shudder, cocking my head to the side, and my boyfriend hungrily attacked my neck, moving a hand so he could fist it in my hair and keep me still. A subtle whine of lust works its way out of my throat as I'm lowered onto a seat, and he crawls over me, possessively planting a hand on my chest and glaring at the small audience we had. Looking mostly at Lenalee, I say, "Go get a table and we'll be out in a sec."

Holding her nose, the pig-tailed girl nodded and dragged Lavi out into the parking lot, Fou following quickly behind them, and Kanda glances back at me, "I thought you liked having an audience."

"Shut up, and kiss me, moron," I demand, bucking my hips upwards against him. Smirking, he leans down and bites my pulse on my neck, massaging my waist beside my baby bump, and I gasp before letting out a high-pitched moan.

Oo_oO_Oo_oO

For the record, we didn't do more than make-out, which seemed to surprise the rabbit who had said that we must have had a great quickie. He scares me sometimes...

"So, what do you think decides a good kisser?" Lenalee asked Fou, who was sitting beside her. Raising an eyebrow, the humanoid replied, "Um, I don't really know since I've never kissed anyone before."

"Liar."

All heads at the table turned to Kanda as he sat with his arms crossed, glaring at his friend. Not sure if I wanted to know how he knew that, I say, "Kandy, I thought you were gay!"

Glancing at me, he rolls his eyes, "I am. I never said I was the one she kissed, but I know that something went on between her and Lenalee's stalker."

A blush bloomed on Fou's cheeks as Lenalee, Lavi, and I echo in unison, "My/Lenalee's stalker? Komui?"

"No, idiots, the one with the ponytail and yellow hair."

"Oh," we say in realization as Fou's complexion darkened. Laughing, I say, "So Fou, what do you think makes a good kisser?"

Seeming uncomfortable, she pokes her salad and mutters, "Lots of tongue, but not controlling."

"Haha, Yu isn't a good kisser!" the rabbit exclaims like he'd just kick five perfect field goals. Glaring at him, I object, "No, he's an awesome kisser!"

Flushing, I shut my mouth and look down as Lenalee says, "Okay, Allen, explain."

"Um, h-he…uh…don't demonstrate!" I warn my boyfriend as I see his smirk out of the corner of my eye. Getting plenty of extra courage, I continue, "Kanda uses lots of tongue and dominates me completely. Oh, and if I make noises he likes, he bites on my ear."

"Lavi, why don't you do that to me?!" Lenalee demands, poking her boyfriend on his shoulder as he apologizes for his kissing inabilities.

"Lenalee, you're turn!" Fou piped, grinning evilly.

"Oh fine, I like a guy who can actually use his tongue," Komui's supposedly innocent sister replies. Fou and I add in harmony, "Amen, sister."

Smiling with an underlying wickedness, I say, "Everyone answers this one: What turns you on the most?"

"Flexibility, and a girl who can show it off in all the right ways," Lavi answered first, and everyone eyed Lenalee before turning to Kanda. Huffing, he growls, "Someone very vocal, and likes to dress-up."

The rabbit laughs, "Whoa, I didn't think that Yu was the pervert-type!"

"If you call me that one more time, I swear I'll surgically sew rabbit ears into your skull before decapitating you and throwing your corpse in the Dead Sea to rot," the bluenette threatens, his eyes blazing and heatedly glaring at the petrified redhead.

"Anyway, I like someone in charge, but isn't stuck-up about it," Fou says, glancing at Lenalee.

"Uh, it's really annoying for him to crack jokes during sex, but I have to say I love it," she answered, looking at Lavi as he grins like a kid on Halloween. Smiling, I tap my chin, "Obviously, I love long hair and when he brushes it, but I love it when he lies down on the bed like he wants me to―"

"Shut up or I will make you sleep in my underwear drawer with Ice until the baby's born," Kanda dangerously moves his glare to me as I shrink back. Not catching the idiocy in his question, Lavi asks, "Why would you put ice in your underwear drawer? Wouldn't you have wet boxers for a while?"

Smacking her boyfriend behind the head, Lenalee explains exasperatedly, "For the last time, Ice is the cat! Wait, why is she in your underwear drawer?"

"How the heck should I know? She likes it there," Kanda muttered.

"Well, it's the bottom drawer, too, so maybe it was the easiest to get in," I suggest with a shrug. Glancing at me, Fou asks, "How do you know it's the bottom drawer?"

Smirking, Kanda asks, "Yeah, Kitten, how do you know which one my underwear drawer is?"

"Hey, I got turned into a girl, remember?! I couldn't fit the two gigantic tumors on my chest in a turtleneck, so I was going to wear one of his shirts, and I just started at the bottom on accident!" I explain quickly.

"Accident," Lavi repeats, adding air quotes, and I say, "Yes, accident!"

"Liar, liar, hair on fire," Kanda mocks, causing me to flush angrily as the other three look at him like he'd lost it.

"Shut up, or I pledge abstinence!" I try my best to threaten, but Kanda just gives me an amused look. Giving up, I just pout at him, my bottom lip quivering.

Giggling, Lenalee says, "Just yawn, and he'll be wrapped around your finger."

The glare Kanda gave her was cut off as I open my mouth wide, closing my eyes and making a little kittenish mewl, and when I'm done, Kanda is very noticeably fighting himself mentally, growling something in Japanese under his breath. Though, I'm pretty sure from the way he spat Lenalee's name and then said a word I'm nearly certain means "death", it was a promise of a bloody demise.

"That reminds me," Lenalee said, looking at me. "Allen, what's your ring size?"

Thinking a bit, I barely recall a shopping trip that I had tried on a ring, and I answer, "Seven, why?"

"Crap, same as me. I found some rings that are too big on me, and thought you might be able to wear them. Maybe I'll ask Foxy later," she says, finishing her fruit. Okay, that was random, but she must have made some sort of connection.

Lavi asks, "So are we playing, like, Absolute Truth, or something?"

"I guess. Who's got the next question?" I say, glancing around. Tilting her head, Fou suggests, "Most romantic thing your partner could do for you. I say write a love poem."

Smiling, I say, "That is sweet, though I never thought you'd be the love poem kind of person."

She shrugs, "What about you, Allen. What's the most romantic thing Kanda could do for you?"

Giving it some serious thought, all I can come up with is proposing, but I can't really say that. Kanda's done everything else though! Shaking my head, I say, "He's done everything but propose to me."

"Then, what's your dream proposal?" Lenalee asked. "I'm curious how you'd want that done."

Considering I've thought about it before, I reply, "Well, something with a lot of thought put into it, and I guess I want to be surprised. Maybe he could sing to me then present the ring?"

"I like that. Let's see, I want it to be a surprise, too, but I want it somewhere where a lot of people I know are watching. Except Brother," Lenalee said, grimacing slightly at the last sentence. Nodding, Fou adds, "Same here, but I want it somewhere private and special."

I continue, "Maybe a mix? Like a few close friends, but I think that I would save the special place for the honeymoon or wedding."

"Right, I never thought about that! Err, Allen, what would you wear?" Lenalee asked, and I think that at this point, the boys were very uncomfortable. Not that I blame them, but I don't ever expect Kanda to propose to me. Having a baby and living together is good enough for me, and I have the agate charm necklace he got me, so I don't need more. Laughing, I say, "I don't know! I can't rock a suit and tie like Timberlake, so I guess I'll dress like a girl and wear a fluffy dress."

"Nice simile," Fou giggled.

"I try, but maybe I could go with a button-up without the suit?" I ask, taking a sip of my water. Lenalee continued, "But if you're a guy, will you have a matron or maid of honor and bridesmaids?"

"I don't know or care if I'm a dude, you will be my maid of honor, and Fou and Foxy will be my bridesmaids. Poor Kanda, I guess he'll have Marie as his best man and Lavi as a groomsman," I laugh, imagining the disaster that would be.

Laughing, Fou adds, "And are you going to dance with Cross since you don't have a mom?"

"He isn't invited. I'll dance with General Nine or the Head Nurse if I must," I say darkly. From the part of the table we had been ignoring, Kanda suggests, "You could dance with Lila."

"Lila? Who's that?" Lenalee questioned, glancing at the bluenette as he falls silent again.

"Lila Evers is a woman I know from the animal shelter. She'd definitely be old enough to pose as a mom, because she's got an eleven-year-old anyways, and she'd be invited. Good idea, Kanda," I say, wondering why he was paying this much attention.

Fou nods, "And Kanda can dance with Tiedoll?"

"Heck no, and don't suggest it again. Ever," Kanda growled, glaring at the humanoid.

Shaking her head, Lenalee asks, "Then who will you dance with?"

"No one," he answers curtly, and I tease, "Only because you can't dance."

My best friend laughs, "Your one to talk Mr. Two Left Feet."

"I never said I could. Ah, but I wouldn't mind it if Nezumi came here from wherever No.6 is and teach me to," I sigh, my eyes probably filled with stars.

"Have you ever noticed how much NezuShi and Yullen look alike?" Lenalee asked, and I thought about it. Nodding, I say, "That's actually kind of creepy how similar we are to NezuShi."

Fou adds, "I just hated how that anime ended."

"I know right! I cried first then got mad at Nezumi and last I started cussing him out with every word I knew," I laughed, followed by the other two girls.

"Very true, I think the author should get sued or something," Lenalee says.

oO_Oo_oO_Oo

"So did you like going out?" I ask over the sound of the water pouring from the showerhead onto my hair. Hands massage my head with shampoo as I step out from under the water and a deep voice mutters, "It was okay, I guess."

Staring down at the white bottom of the tub, I ask, "Just okay? I had a great time."

"That's because you were talking to your friends about getting married," Kanda says, sticking me back under the water unexpectedly, and I cough slightly as water runs in my mouth.

"So? You could have joined in!"

"Guys don't talk about getting married. It bores most."

"Hey!"

"You are the exception, but I don't act gay if you hadn't noticed."

"Yeah, I know that, or else I wouldn't be pregnant," I huff, finally getting to mess with Kanda's hair, and I smother it in perfumed shampoo, breathing in the sweet smell of Moonlight Mist. He doesn't reply, and I continue, "I'm sorry, Kanda, if I made you uncomfortable talking about getting married. It's not like I expect you to propose, and it doesn't bother me. We already live together, and we're going to have a baby in a month, so it's just something girls, and I, do. It's like talking about clothes or why we think our boyfriends are sexy. Besides, I feel like you giving me the agate necklace was really special, so I don't need a ring."

At this point, his hair had been shampooed and conditioned, and he turned around and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling us closer together, "Don't feel sorry. It didn't bother me the least."

One of his hands go to my necklace, holding the tan, swirled stone tenderly, "Originally, I gave you this as a promise that I wouldn't leave you, so if you want, you can think of it as a ring."

"I love you so much, Kanda," I say for no particular reason, leaning against him with my cheek resting on his chest.

"I'm glad you're such a moyashi or else we wouldn't be able to stand like this," he says, kissing my crown slowly.

Author Note: Sorry about the late update, but I didn't wait longer than a week! Did I ever mention how much I love you guys when you review? If not, then I do, and please, Please, PLEASE R/R!
