Christmas Special~
There was Chaos all over. Everybody was getting ready for the Christmas Party at the Black Order. The Cafeteria was already nicely decorated with flowers and lights and such stuff. It had a cozy atmosphere.
Lenalee, Lavi and Kanda were currently at a table watching how finder and Scientists were freaking out. They were running around like headless chicken, it was kind of sad.
Lenalee sighed as she gazed into her cup of tea. She was kind of nervous too if she was honest with herself. Lavi who heard her turned to her with a concerned grin, while Kanda kept smirking at the people who were tripping over their own foots.
"What´s wrong Lena-Lady? Not in the Christmas spirit? Don´t tell me it´s true!" Lavi asked her with mischievous as he held his chest in fake shock. Lenalee rolled her eyes fondly as Kanda hit Lavi over the head.
"OW! Yu-chan! It´s Christmas don´t be mean, you have to be nice to me!" Lavi whined as he rubbed the spot on his head where Kanda hit him. Kanda only glared at him.
"I am nice enough today. Don´t push it too much, I am sure the Beansprout would like a stewed rabbit for dinner. And don´t call me that!" Kanda hissed at Lavi. Lavi paled and decided to scoot over to get more distance between Kanda and himself.
"Could you please stop it? We will have to clean up more blood later, so don´t cause a scene now." Lenalee scolded halfheartedly. She was not in the best mood right now. It showed on her face. She was frowning at them.
Kanda only turned away with a grunt as Lavi smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry! But what´s wrong? Is it because of later? Don´t worry! I am sure nothing will happen!" Lavi assured Lenalee with confidence. Lenalee´s expression lightened up a bit. She still seemed unsure thought.
"But…why do we have to celebrate Christmas with the Noahs of all people?!" She spat out. Who in their right mind would want to celebrate with the enemy?
Lavi sighed as Kanda scowled. Obviously, he too, wasn´t happy with the situation ether.
"You know why. The Earl stated he would go on a rampage if the Fourteenth wasn´t gonna celebrate Christmas with them. And the Fourteenth stated he wouldn´t celebrate without Allen. So, here we are." Lavi explained with a tried look. Nobody in the whole Order wanted to celebrate with them, but it was either they all celebrate here or they would have to let Allen go to the Noahs and well not even the Inspector was that evil. That Allen and the Fourteenth could disappear from the face of earth like Cross Marian if they liked to may have influenced the decision a bit.
Not to mention nobody wanted to pass the opportunity of Allen beating the living shit out of the Fourteenth. The look on Allen´s face when he heard that was hilarious. The Fourteenth practically said If I have to suffer you suffer too.
Allen only seethed, but that stupid smile was still on his face. It was so frightening that Lavi went and told everybody not to bother Allen for the rest of the day. Even Link left Allen alone. It wasn´t exactly the safest place to be near Allen at that time. Considering that Allen wouldn´t stop smiling and muttering.
"Suffer? Haven´t I suffered enough?! Just wait Neah D. Campbell, I will show you something scarier than the Earl."
Nobody even tried to ask how Allen knew the Fourteenth full real name. Needless to say, a constant smiling Allen was scarier than an angry Noah.
"Knew the Beansprout would be trouble from the start." Kanda muttered with a scowl as he glared at a few Finders that managed to mess up a bit of the already finished decoration. He would not do that fucking shit again with helping. The only reason he helped in the first place was to get his senile Old man of a master of his back.
Lenalee seemed to release something. She looked around with wide eyes. "Now that we are talking about Allen, where is he?" She asked curiously. She was sure he would be one of the first people to enter the Cafeteria. After all he loved food more than anyone else.
Now that caught the attention of Lavi and Kanda immediately, surely Allen wouldn´t try to escape, right? Nah, he had his Watch dog with him.
Just as if Allen heard Lenalee´s question he walked into the Cafeteria with Link trailing behind him. He saw Lavi and Lenalee wave him over and began to walk towards them with Link.
Kanda´s face turned sour as he glared at Lenalee. "Great, you just had to provoke it." He growled annoyed. Lenalee only shot him a warning look.
Allen and Link sat down at the table after greeting them.
"They still aren´t here?" Allen sighed as he looked around. The Chaos was slowly disappearing and clearing up. Lavi and Lenalee only shook their heads. "No, but they would have to come in any minute now." Lenalee informed him with a slight smile. Allen smiled back even if it seemed a bit forced.
"Great, what´s next my Master comes here?" Allen muttered under his breath with sarcasm. The door opened and General Cross walked in, he went straight to Jerry to get himself wine.
It was silence at the table.
"I swear if any of you try to pull that shit with the old man I will personally gut you." Kanda growled out in a warning as he put his hand, where normally Mugen would be. They had to leave all the weapons in their rooms.
The others were only silent.
"Walker, I think it would be wise-." Link began to talk only to be interrupted by their special Guests arrival.
"ALLLEEENNNN~!" Road cried out happily as she jumped at him. Allen almost fell off the bench. It didn´t help that his face was slowly turning blue.
"Road! Come back here to Daddy~!" Sheril cried out dramatically as he stretched out his arms. Tyki only shook his head.
"Road! Let the poor boy go!" Tyki called out as he sighed. This was going to be a long night.
Road only loosened her hold on Allen but didn´t let completely go. She struck her tongue out at Tyki.
"R-Road…where is the Earl and Neah?" Allen asked her nicely with a smile, not only had he been dragged into this, no he also had to babysit Neah, so that nothing happened.
Road smiled at him with affectionate eyes and hummed. "They are already here talking to that Brother of the girly Exorcist." She informed him happily as she snuggled up to him. Lenalee huffed lightly and looked away with narrowed eyes. Kanda was outright glaring at Road while Lavi looked like he wanted to frown.
Allen only nodded and tensed up when he saw the other Noahs walk over to take a seat at their table. He felt Link move near him to get ready to step in if things go out of hand and Allen shot him a smile.
"Hello Exorcists!" Devitto cried out with a grin as Jasdero was stuffing himself full with food.
Wisley only sighed at the two and moved to sit down on the other side of Road. Tyki shot him a glare and sat down a bit further. Wisley only grinned as Sheril sat down next to Tyki whining about his precious daughter not needing him anymore and suspicious boys, trying to hug Tyki.
Tyki kind of looked like he wanted to shot himself right then and there. Even the Exorcists felt kind of bad for him.
"Walker, As I tried to tell you, I think it would be best if you-." Link was interrupted again, only this time by the arrival of the Earl and Neah. He felt kind of irritated now as he scowled at them. People nowadays were so rude!
"Get away from me, you Fatass!" Neah hissed at the Earl who sniffed at the insult. Why was Neah always so mean to him? Was it puberty?
The people in the room were silence as Neah´s eyes scanned the room till they landed on Allen. He instantly smiled and skipped over. The people in his way parted like the red sea in fright of the mentally messed up Noah.
"Allen~! Dear Nephew come over and give your uncle a hug!" Neah cheered as he hugged Allen from behind, but not before sending Road a glare. Road glared back and sparks seemed to fly of the two.
"Get your hands off!" Neah growled at her in warning. He did not like that his sister was smothering his Nephew. Why hadn´t Marian done anything? He saw him getting drunk in a corner! Useless man!
Road´s glare turned into a smug smile. She pressed herself against Allen´s arm. "Why should I? He likes it!" She retorted back. Allen just looked disturbed.
Neah´s glare deepened. "He does not!"
"He does!"
"No, he doesn´t! Now shut up and move your underdeveloped body of off him!"
"Watch it, you corpse, or I will mess up your head more than it already is!"
"You can´t fuck something up that wasn´t normal to begin with, thanks to my dear family! You dwarf!"
"You killed us, you girly Piano-Fetishist!"
"You deserved it! Not my fault if you couldn´t get the hints from the last Christmas we had!"
"You decorated our fucking Christmas tree with Grenades, you moron!"
"What did you expect?! I am the Noah of Destruction!"
Allen only sighed as he facepalmed. The others just stared at the duo with freaked out expressions. Even the other Noah´s were a bit uneasy.
The Earl finally moved between them and pried them of off Allen. He waved a finger like a mother scolding her children.
"Now, now~! It´s Christmas, so don´t be mean to each other~!" The Earl said halfheartedly with a grin. Road and Neah only turned back to Allen, completely ignoring the Earl who started crying. Wisley sighed and comforted him.
"There, there Earl." Wisley rubbed his back while he cried.
"They are all so mean~! Where did my raising go wrong~?" He sobbed.
"Hm, how about the time were I killed our family, or you killed me, or-" Neah began to list of with a dark grin, watching as the Earl sobbed harder. Allen hit him over the head.
"Behave or else." Allen had that scary smile of his on his face again. Lavi leaned down to whispered to Lenalee. "He´s at that level again, Lenalee! This is worse…constant smiling." Lavi whimpered as he gazed at Allen and Neah.
Lenalee only nodded with a wry smile.
Neah finally settled down and Kanda smirked.
"Whipped." Kanda muttered with amusement. The others broke out laughing as Neah glared at Kanda. Even Link´s lips twitched. Allen rolled his eyes and sighed, wondering why he had to endure this.
"It can´t get any worse…" He muttered under his breath, just as he said that the rest of the Black Order began filling the Cafeteria. Under the people who walked in were Komui, Bak Chang, a few people from the Asian Branche and Inspector Levillie.
The whole table grimaced at the last person with exception of Link. Kanda kicked Allen under the table and gave him a glare, while Allen winced and scowled.
"Beansprout one more time and I swear you are dead." Kanda hissed at him quietly. Allen huffed and glared at the Inspector, who seemed to walk over.
"LENALEEEE~! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Komui cried while hugging his sister, who only blushed in embarrassment. She didn´t kick him of her, because it was Christmas.
Road smirked as she let go of Allen´s arm to look into a purse she brought along. She took out a mistletoe and turned back to Allen only to see Neah smirking at her.
"No way, devil sister of mine~." He purred out as he watched in dark humor how Road glared at him. She put it back into her purse and did the only thing someone as old as her would do. She pouted.
Everybody at the table looked confused. Tyki was the first one to break up the silence.
"Where´s the boy?" Tyki inquired as he lit up a Cigarette. The others looked at Neah who only shrugged with a smile. He pointed behind him to a corner.
"He´s with Mama Marian~!" He cheerfully announced. Everyone who heard the nickname started chocking or laughing.
"Hahahaha! How is it going Mama Marian?" Winter roared with laughter as Cross glared at Neah and threw a bottle of wine after him. "Shut it Retard! I swear if you get drunk I am not stopping Fatty from sitting on you or crushing you with his love!" Cross growled out a warning. Neah paled and nodded all the while making gagging noises.
"You don´t joke about such things, Marian! Allen help me!" Neah whined as he walked over to the two. Cross only rolled his eyes as he turned to Allen.
"See what you did? Now the Retard walks ove-. …Hey…what´s got you so angry?" Cross asked uneasy. Allen who sat on the opposite of him had a dark aura around him. Neah who saw it immediately turned around again and walked back to the table.
The others stared at him in confusion. "Fourteenth, why are you coming back?" Link asked wary. Who could blame him? That guy gave even the Noah family the creeps.
Neah only smiled a strained smile. "No reason. I thought you enjoyed my Company!" He joked as he took a seat again. He mentally prayed for Cross and his safety.
"Wha-?" Jasdevi began only to be cut off by a yell. They all looked over only to see Cross crouching behind a table and an angry Allen yelling at him.
"CALM D-!" Cross retorted but ducked as another flying object went over his head.
"I should calm down?! You-You Asshole! I have to pay for the shit you destroy!" Allen hissed at him with a glare. The others at the table who remembered the last Halloween paled and began to slip away.
CRASH!
"Retard! Come over here and calm your Idiot of a Nephew down!" Cross roared as he dodged another object. Neah snorted and shook his head.
"No way in hell! I don´t have a death wish!" Neah called back as he tried to back away.
Allen was still throwing things at Cross. It wasn´t his fault that he was extremely emotional on Christmas. That was probably the reason Link wanted to suggest staying in his room.
"H-HIIIII! WATCH IT!" Jasdero and Devitto cried out as a knife sailed through the air almost hitting them. The others looked for cover.
"Now, Now Allen-kun~! That´s not nic-!" The Earl was cut off by a flying table that hit him in the face. The other Noahs looked at him in horror, with the exception of Neah who cheered his Nephew on.
"E-EARL!" The twins cried out together with Sheril. "Nice throw!" Neah sung with mischievous eyes. Road tried to hit him with a knife.
"WALKER! STOP IT THIS INSTAN-!" Levillier roared at Allen who just kicked him in his face with an "Out of the way!" roar. Levillier fell to the ground and Link went over to check on him.
"Somebody stop him!" a voice yelled. The Finders were trying to get out of the Cafeteria as fast as they chould.
"Who?! The Noahs? Or the Exorcists?!" Somebody answered.
There was a lot of Chaos going on. And fighting.
Lenalee watched in horror as all the preparation from earlier got smashed or destroyed. She grew angrier till she finally had enough her patience running out.
She remembered what General Cross told them a few days ago. He said to not even think of saying something like Happy Birthday to Allen. He looked serious too, so nobody even dared to try to protest.
She took a deep breath and yelled of the top of her lungs.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLEN WALKER!"
The whole room got silence at once.
She watched how everyone looked over to Allen to see his reaction. Cross was already glaring at her. And Neah looked like he wanted to murder her but was torn between going to comfort Allen or slaughtering her. She shivered as she panted for breath.
They all watched in horror how Allen´s eyes watered.
"B-Beansprout?! You aren´t …crying are you?" Kanda asked with a blank face. Allen only slowly shook his head.
"Oh my god! We made Walker cry!" somebody cried out.
"We are going to die!" another yelled.
Lavi, Road, Neah and Tyki rushed over to Allen who sniffed.
"B-Boy how about we play a round of cards?!" Tyki tried his luck to cheer Allen up.
"Allen! Come on! How about we are getting us something to eat?" Road suggested with a smile her eyes worried.
"Hey Al, please stop crying. You are making me feel guilty! I will try to get that Watchdog of yours of your back for a few hours for a week and pour some alcohol into Yu-chan´s drinks if it makes you feel better!" Lavi rambled with a strained grin. He was so going to die.
"THE HELL YOU WILL!" Kanda yelled at him with a glare. Lavi just shivered. Link shot him a look that promised trouble for him.
Neah just went forward and hugged Allen, while rubbing his back. Whispering sweet nothings into his ear as Allen cried silently.
The others were surprised at the gentle action from the Noah of Destruction.
"A-llen~! Cheer up! You now if not, I will single handy slaughter everyone in this room!" Neah warned him with a grin.
"THAT`S HOW YOU CHEER SOMEONE UP?!" Was the thought of most of the people in the room.
But to the surprise of the people in the room Allen merely chuckled. They all sighed in relief.
"Could we please now Celebrate together? I have enough of this shit." Allen muttered as he walked over and sat down. The others nodded.
The rest of the evening was somewhat peaceful. Well, as peaceful as something with the Noahs and Exorcists could get.
Though both parties won´t admit it, they enjoyed celebrating Christmas together. Nobody said anything when on the next day there was something writing on the wall in blood.
The message said.
Make my Nephew cry again and not even the Earl himself could help you~! With love Neah!
Needless to say it was frightening enough that Allen calmly walked pass it like it happened every year. The whole Order made sure to upgrade their security system and were careful not to mention anything that could make Allen upset in the next few days. Even Link left him alone and Kanda didn´t even bother to open his mouth. Especially after Cross kept making comments that made them paranoid. But if you could ignore that ….
It was a great Christmas.
