Couple

Their first kiss was, no matter how you looked at it, not magical or beautiful or romantic by any means. They'd been glaring at each other angrily, bodies wired and tense, ready to pounce. And then they had, it was just a different sort of pouncing than they'd originally thought. It wasn't like one of those kisses were you weren't quite sure who started it, they both most definitely lunged at each other at exactly the same time.

Their teeth had clacked into each other painfully, their noses bumping, their rhythm off, and their hands fumbling and clumsy, frantically trying to rip the other's clothes off without stopping in their attempt to suck the other's face off. It had been hot and urgent and they didn't actually end up having sex all the way. Of all things they ended up dry humping. When they woke up Allen had to hide in the bathroom until Kanda's father, Tiedoll, went away to work or something. Allen had had to wash the inside of his pants with wet toilet paper while Kanda made up excuses for the hickey on his neck in the other room. Close call, that was.

They hadn't had any dramatic confessions of everlasting love afterwards either. They just acted completely casual, as if the fact that they were suddenly… an item wasn't weird or unusual or sudden at all. They didn't talk about it all, just acted as if they had always been together like that. They didn't shout out to the heavens that they were an item either, they kept acting like always and the only reason their closest friends even knew was because Lenalee had walked in on them doing it in some random broom closet and had immediately told Lavi.

They weren't lovey dovey or anything like that either, just because they were an item now. They still fought just as much as before, if not more. They still disagreed and fought and when they made up they didn't have serious talks or kiss each other dramatically, they would just go and do something like watch a movie to cement the fact that they weren't mad at each any more at the moment, when it was a good day they just had angry sex.

There was absolutely nothing romantic or beautiful and magical about their relationship. If it weren't for the fact that they were fucking, that they would die and kill for each other in a heartbeat, that they slept in the same bed whenever Kanda's dad was out of town, then there wouldn't be a reason to think that they were a couple, just tight knit best friends that fought a lot.

But they were a couple.

And maybe it was because of the fact that they didn't ape after melodramatic people on soap operas, maybe because they were different from the other couples, maybe because they did nothing couples should and did everything they shouldn't, but whatever it was that they were doing it made them different. They never broke up. They never even had a serious argument (nickname and food related arguments did not count as serious arguments). They got frustrated and mad at each other, they hurt each other's feelings and they occasionally punched the other. But they never hated each other. They always, always loved each other deep down.

Even if their first kiss wasn't magical, even if if their romance wasn't actually romantic, even if their relationship wasn't beautiful, even if they fought and argued and never did things couples were supposed to do, they still loved each other. They still loved each other with all they were and they did it truly.

They may not be magical or beautiful or romantic but in their eyes they were the best damn couple out there.
