Allen's time at school was worse ever since those photos got leaked. They were even sent to his professors! At least the professors didn't treat him any differently. They knew what had happened due to Allen having to explain himself and they provided him with more support and resources. Allen was surprised he didn't get treated any differently than he'd initially thought. He was grateful for that. He changed after the incident. He's become quieter and wears more modest clothing.

Allen sighs as he walks to the library with Kanda. Kanda has been a little more protective over his beansprout. He insists to walk with Allen everywhere. Allen likes the nice gesture, but it also makes him feel weak. Though, he does feel safe around the taller male. With his other friends, he just feels happy around them, but with Kanda, he feels different, but he can't put his finger on it. Maybe because he's mean? Who knows.

What he needs right now is someone to hug and cuddle with. He has Mana and his friends to cuddle with. The poor boy has to deal with too much stress. He's on the verge of collapsing. "Wanna ditch for the rest of the day?" Kanda asks. "You seem too eager to ditch your classes. Why?" Allen replies. Kanda sighs."I'm terribly bored, Moyashi," Kanda admits. Allen blushes. "It's Allen, BaKanda!" Allen retorts. Kanda smirks.

They decided to ditch. Not like the professors cared anyway. They just want Allen to take a well-deserved break. "Wanna meet my dad?" Allen asks. "Uh, sure?" Kanda replies with a questioning look. Allen smiles at him and grabs his wrist.

Off the two boys went. Allen was excitedly telling Kanda about his father and sharing random trivia about him. Kanda found it adorable how fond Allen was of his father.

They arrive at Allen's apartment and he unlocks the door. "Dad, I'm home! I brought a friend!" Allen announces. "Oh? And why did you come home early?" Mana says. Allen chuckles. "It's an early day today." Allen lies. Mana knows it's a lie, but doesn't question it.

Allen and Kanda enter the house. Allen shuts and locks the door and the two sit on the couch. "Dad, could you make us some tea?" Allen requests. "Sure!" Mana says happily. He's just glad his son is happy. Mana didn't care if Allen decided to drop out or not, just as long as his son is happy, then he'll support it.

Mana finished making the tea and brought it to the boys. "Ah! I forgot! Uh, dad, this is my friend Kanda, and Kanda, this is my dad!" Allen introduces. Kanda gives Mana a nod. "Awwww, I'm so glad you made another friend~" Mana coos. Allen chuckles and smiles. "Well, it's nice meeting you, Kanda! Please continue to make my son happy." Mana says. Kanda nods. Mana gives him a smile and steps toward the door. "Aw, already going to your second job?" Allen questions. Mana nods. "I'll be back in a few hours," Mana says and leaves.

After Mana leaves, the two boys just chill on the couch and chat. Allen is bothered by one thing though. Why is he so attracted to Kanda? Why does Kanda make him feel so safe? It could be because Kanda is an Alpha, but he's also an Alpha, so it doesn't make sense. Or is Kanda even an Alpha to begin with? "Kanda, are you and Alpha?" Allen asks. Kanda gets startled by this. "Yes, why?" Kanda asks. "W-Well, I don't know. I just feel safer around you than my other friends. They're Betas, so I'm just going to blame it on that." Allen replies. Kanda raises his eyebrow.

A ping of guilt fills Allen after saying that. He loves his friends and they've done so much for him, so it hurts to kind of slander them like that. Seeing the guilt cross Allen's face, Kanda ruffles his hair. "Don't worry too much about this, stupid bean," Kanda says. Allen nods, huffs, and leans on Kanda. He rests his head on Kanda's shoulder. Kanda was startled by it, but after a while, he got used to it.

Kanda wraps his arm around Allen and rests his head on the smaller boy's head. "So, what do you plan on doing today?" Kanda asks. "Hmmm, good point. I might just chill and laze around." Allen replies. "May I chill with you?" Kanda asks. "Don't even ask, just do. I don't mind at all. Lavi and Lenalee literally break into my apartment sometimes." Allen replies with a chuckle. Kanda rolls his eyes.

The two sit down cuddling for a while. Soon enough, they both fall asleep. Once Mana comes back home, he starts silently cooing and taking pictures of the sleeping duo.
