Hello guys! Thank you for being patient!
Once again I do not own D. GrayMan, Katekyo Hitman Reborn! and the characters!
Yaoi Warning! BOY X BOY! FLUFF ALERT!
"It is nice to have you back, Mukuro! These numbers don't just work themselves out! Where have you been by the way?" Rikei grins as everyone was sitting down together at their work table.
"I had some babysitting to do," Mukuro smiles a little from the thought of the boy. "But since he is conscious now, Fo does not need me as frequently as before."
"Then the rumor was true! I heard that we took in a 15-year old boy!" Rohfa exclaims.
"Yes and he is an exorcist from the European Branch," Mukuro looks at her.
"O-Oh, I heard that too..." Rohfa glances away, blushing lightly.
"Anyway! Let's finish our task before lun-" Shifu was interrupted by Sammo running and shouting in a panick with the first aid kit.
"Has anyone seen Walker?!" Sammo pants heavily.
"He is missing again?" Mukuro stands up.
"WAIT-AGAIN?!" Sammo exclaims.
"A-Ah...n-no," Mukuro's eye widen from his mistake and clears his throat. "Ahem...sorry, I meant to say, did you check under his bed? He was there last when Fo told me he was not in his room one time," Mukuro lies easily.
"Under his bed. Got it," Sammo spun around and ran back to the infirmary quickly.
"O-Oi, should we look around for the kid too?" Rikei suggests.
"That is a good idea!" Rohfa smiles.
Shifu sighs, "We were so close to finishing though."
"We can always do it after lunch! Join us, Mukuro!" Rikei winks and the four of them went their way to search for the boy.
Mukuro sighs quietly and walks a little behind the group thinking to himself.
"Muuuukuro!" a voice yelled from behind.
Mukuro and the gang turns around to see Allen and Bak walking towards them. 'Speak of the little devil...he looks well though,' Mukuro smirks to himself.
"Hi Mukuro," Allen walks up to him.
"Hello Allen. I'm happy to see you walking around, but Sammo nearly had a heart attack trying to find you."
Allen smiles sheepishly, "I know...I could hear him trying to look for me, but I just wanted to be by myself for a little while."
Mukuro could hear Rohfa going crazy love-struck behind him.
"I found my soulmate!" Rohfa blushed and Mukuro can literally see hearts flying everywhere.
Allen smiles awkwardly at her and walks over to introduce himself to the group.
"Mukuro," Bak calls to him.
The mist guardian walks over to the Branch Chief, "Yes, Bak?"
"May I have you walk Allen back to the infirmary please?"
"No problem," Mukuro nods to Bak as he slowly walks back to his office. The mist guardian then walks over to the crowd and waits for the group to finish their conversation before he interrupts.
"Eh? Mukuro?" Allen looks up at the guardian.
"I will be taking you back to the infirmary. Are you able to walk?"
"Y-Yes," Allen feels his face get a little hot. Allen knows that he could walk, but he kind of wants to fake fatigue to be carried by Mukuro again. 'Maybe I will do that once we are away from the crowd,' Allen thought to himself not realizing a fever creeping up on him. "All right then, I will be going now. I will see you guys later," the white-haired boy waves good-bye to his new acquaintances and ran after Mukuro who is walking slightly ahead.
"So...are they your coworkers?" Allen tries to make conversation after a couple of minutes of walking together in silence.
Mukuro heard the quiet voice and he slows down his pace to turn to look at Allen, who is looking a little flushed. "Yes, I have only met them a couple of weeks ago, but they seem nice. I think they really like you," Mukuro stares intently at the boy.
"They are very nice, um...I would like to see them again-I MEAN! I want to see YOU again-I MEAN! WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN?" Allen flusters as his bangs cover his eyes.
"..." Mukuro was caught off guard at the remark, 'Chibi-chan is acting a little odd...he rarely raises his voice before.' Mukuro thought thoroughly before he answers, "...Maybe. I am here today, because they are short on people to look after you. I am from the Science Division so I am not usually in the infirmary. Also, the Branch Chief might come to talk to you tomorrow once you feel better."
"W-Will you be busy tomorrow?" Allen asks while looking a little redder.
"Not really...are you all right, Allen?"
"Huh? Ah, I'm fine," Allen tries to smile, but it faltered as he fell against the stone wall. Mukuro noticed him quickly and caught the boy before he hit his head on the concrete floor.
"Allen...you are burning up," Mukuro said as he place his hand over Allen's forehead.
"H-huh? I-I feel a little warm..." Allen mumbles as his feels his eyelids getting heavier by the moment.
"I need to get you back soon," Mukuro whispers as he carries Allen bridal-style back to the infirmary quickly.
It took a couple of days before Allen's fever broke. He woke up late afternoon to strands of blue hair by his bedside. "Mm?" Allen slowly looks over to see Mukuro has fallen asleep with his head resting on his arms on the bed. 'It's Mukuro...why is he here?' Allen slowly shifts his body to face Mukuro. 'Oh yeah...I fainted...so much for pretending to faint and I fainted for real...' Allen mentally face-palmed himself. He looks over to Mukuro more, feels the urge to caress his cheek. 'He's so pretty...' Allen hesitantly reached down to hold some of Mukuro's hair between his fingers. 'It feels so silky...I do not mind waking up to this face every day...WHAT THE HECK AM I THINKING!' Allen blushes in embarrassment and looks away from Mukuro.
"Mm..." Mukuro moans quietly.
Allen immediately turns his head away to pretend to sleep, hoping that Mukuro does not notice him blushing.
Mukuro slowly gets up from his position and gently places his palm over Allen's forehead. "Still a little warm, but a lot better," Mukuro whispers to himself. The mist guardian then gets up to tuck Allen in a little more and leaves for the night.
After Allen hears footsteps fade into the distance, he slowly brought his hand up to rest over his forehead. '...I might really like him...' he thought as he blushes more.
Mukuro has been visiting Allen once every week. 'Maybe it is out of interest or curiosity, but I find myself walking to his room without me realizing it,' Mukuro thought. 'This could be dangerous.'
And yet, Mukuro did not stop himself from making his way to the infirmary at that moment. 'The boy is interesting...he has such a unique scar on the left side of his face. For some reason, I am attracted to him,' Mukuro shook his head slightly to rid his thoughts.
Allen was reading a book while sitting up on his bed when he heard quiet footsteps getting closer. He place his book on the side table as he knew exactly who is heading his way.
"Hi Mukuro," Allen greets when the long-haired beauty was in view.
"How are you feeling today, Allen?"
"I am actually feeling much better, Sammo was just here to change my bandages and most of my wounds have healed."
"That is good to hear. I also thought that Sammo approved of you to walk around and do some light exercise now. I am surprise to still see you bedridden here for last couple of days."
"Well...if I were to go out, I would miss the opportunity to see you..." Allen looks down at his hands clutching on to the blankets.
"..." Mukuro's eye widen at the reply. 'This chibi-chan does not beat around the bush...very cute,' Mukuro thought. "How about this? Since you are feeling better, do not hesitate to come find me once you are done training," Mukuro smirks as he writes down his room number on a bottom of a newspaper and tore it off to give it to the boy. "I am a couple of rooms down from the dinning hall, you can't miss it."
"Thank you!" Allen smiles happily.
'This is similar to giving someone my number, huh...crap, after I just told myself to stop picking up younger men...but he's so cute...' Mukuro turned away in silence to pour himself and Allen some tea. The mist guardian then slowly held out the cup of tea for the boy to take.
As Allen was about to lift the teacup from the saucer, Mukuro leans in very close to Allen's face. "Thank yo-" Allen blushed lightly as he felt Mukuro's breath against his ear.
"Be careful. It's hot," Mukuro teased with a breathy voice.
Allen shudders at the sensation, "A-aah..." He quickly retreated his hand to cover his mouth. "M-Mukuro! Don't do that!"
"I'm sorry, you were just very adorable..."
Allen glares with a deep blush on his cheeks, "P-Please give me a warning next time."
"Kufufu," Mukuro chuckles as he holds out the tea again.
Allen pouts at the tea for a moment before extending his hand to take the cup from the saucer and brings it to his lips. "I am sorry if I have offended you," Mukuro slowly sits on the bed and adjusts himself to face the boy.
"...I'm not really...'offended'...but you tease me a lot and I don't know what to think of it," Allen sighs to himself. "I forgive you though," the boy smiles up at the guardian. "Oh! I forgot to tell you! Fo found the remains of my Innocence! Bak said that if I am able to activate my Innocence back to my arm, I would be able to join my comrades at the front lines again!"
"That is very good to hear. I did not realize that your whole arm was an Innocence."
"Yes, my Innocence is a parasite type, so it takes the form of my left arm. It has been a hassle dealing with that arm since birth..."
"Ah..." Mukuro pauses as he thought about his next question carefully. "Did you receive that scar since birth as well?"
"No...not the scar...I received the scar from Mana...he was my father..."
"I see...is he also the reason why your hair is this color?" Mukuro reaches out and caresses the ends of Allen's hair.
"Yes..." Allen stares intently at Mukuro, taking in the subtle way his eye softens and his lips relaxes. "It was mainly my fault...I was young and lonely...I missed him terribly and I did something horrible to him."
They sat in silence for a couple of moments before Mukuro brought his hand up to Allen's head and ruffles his hair making his ends fly everywhere. "H-hey, stop that," Allen giggles softly as he playfully leans away from Mukuro's touch. The mist guardian stops suddenly and slides his hand down to Allen's cheek, caressing gently it with his thumb.
Allen had to stop himself from leaning into the mist guardian's hand. Allen looks up at Mukuro curiously because something has been bothering him since the beginning, "Um...if you don't mind me asking...why are you wearing an eye patch?"
"...that is very direct of you," Mukuro smirks as he withdraws his hand and Allen immediately miss their warmth.
"Sorry! Did that come off as rude? I did not mean it to!"
Mukuro chuckles a little, "Don't worry, I'm kidding...well, kind of."
"I am sorry! My curiosity got the better of me...I just want to know more about you..."
Mukuro stares at Allen with a serious expression, "I see...are you perhaps...interested in me?"
"Eh? AH! I-I! I mean!...I don't know if you swing that way! Um! I-I mean! I-I am not sure m-myself," Allen stutters.
Mukuro chuckles a little from Allen's embarrassment, "I'm teasing."
"You are mean, Mukuro," Allen pouts as he stares at him, unable to stop himself from displaying a disappointed expression.
'Oh my...the brat is such a cutie...' Mukuro thought. "I am sorry, you were just very adorable...sorry for teasing you so much." Mukuro leans forward to caress Allen's head.
"Mmph," Allen looks away with a blush.
Mukuro smiles at the stubborn pout, wanting to kiss it away but he held himself back and clears his throat, "I went through Six Paths of Hades and I have obtained an unique eye."
"Unique?" Allen turns towards Mukuro.
The mist guardian reaches up to remove his eye patch and he slowly opens his right eye to reveal a bright red eye with a number six in the middle.
Allen stares at him intently taking in Mukuro's heterochromia eyes. "...You are very pretty," Allen said unconsciously as he smiles dreamily at Mukuro.
Mukuro's eyes widen in surprise as they stare down at the white-haired boy. No one have ever said that to him after seeing his odd eye, so for once he is very surprised and a faint blush has formed on his cheeks.
After a couple of moments of staring at each other, Allen has realized what he just said and blushed deeply, "U-um, I see...your eye is very unique indeed. A-are you able to see out of it?"
"A-Ah...yes, it acts like a normal eye," Mukuro tries to compose himself after being thrown off guard.
"That's very cool, so what does it do?"
"It creates illusions. I am an illusionist back in my world."
"Your world?" Allen tilts his head to the side, not comprehending the situation.
"Ah, I forgot to mention...I am not from your world. I was transported here by a bizarre device and I have no means of getting home."
"That's horrible, isn't it?" Allen reaches out and held onto Mukuro's arm. "Do you miss your home? If there is anything for me to do to help you, please let me know! Do Bak and the other's know?"
Mukuro took note of Allen's hand on his arm and slowly lean forward to place his hands on the bed on both sides of Allen's hips. Allen did not even notice that his own hand slid up to rest on Mukuro's shoulder. "Only Bak and Fo know," Mukuro whispers lowly.
"I see...thank you for telling me. But I am serious though, if there is anything that I can do to help you, please let me know!" Allen smiles, totally oblivious of the situation.
"I will," Mukuro smiles back and leans in to rest his forehead on Allen's.
Allen's eyes were as wide as plates as he NOW noticed their position. He blushed heavily, but his mind could not stop another curious question that left his lips, "Um...if you don't mind me asking another question...how old are you?"
The mist guardian leans back and stares into Allen's silver eyes. "Old. I am old," Mukuro answers flatly.
"But how old?!" Allen questions.
"Old enough that I have second thoughts about my actions towards you," Mukuro retreats back, but Allen wraps his arm around Mukuro neck and hugs him close.
"No. You do not get to escape," Allen said stubbornly.
"Allen. Let me go," Mukuro said firmly.
"No. Not until you answer my question."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Mukuro heaves a long sigh, "...I'm 25."
"See! Was that so hard?" Allen giggles as he gently lets go of Mukuro but adjusts his hand to linger against Mukuro's shoulder. "I see, we are only 10 years apart...I thought you were much older."
"Excuse me? Older?" Mukuro looks down at the white-haired boy offended.
"What? I thought you were 30 or something!" Allen laughs.
The mist guardian tries to pull away from the boy in irritation, but Allen moves his arm around Mukuro's neck again to bring himself against Mukuro. He carefully tucks his head under Mukuro's chin and snuggles against the broad muscular chest.
"..."
"..."
"So...you said something about getting second thoughts?" Allen smiles after a couple of minutes of cuddling in Mukuro's warmth.
"No comment," the older man replies passively.
"You are considered an adult at my age in this world."
"That's ridiculous, you barely started puberty," Mukuro rolls his eyes.
Allen leans back and looks up at Mukuro, "Just so you know, I am already aware of stuff like kissing and sex from my stupid master."
"You had sex with your master?" Mukuro quirks an eyebrow.
"NO! Definitely not!" Allen vehemently shook his head. "It is the fact that my master is very popular with females, no matter where we traveled. I have accidentally walked in once or twice on his flings before..." Allen twitches from the scarring memory.
Mukuro slides his hand to the back of Allen's neck and guides the boy to rest his head against his chest again. "All right, I understand. Relax, don't think about it anymore," Mukuro caresses his hair.
"Mm.." Allen nuzzles his cheek against Mukuro's chest, taking in the smell of faint lavender. The boy then slowly leans back to bring his hand up cup Mukuro's cheek and stare deeply into those eyes, "I have another question."
"You are pretty talkative today."
"It is probably because I want to learn everything about you."
A small smile tugged at Mukuro's lips and he looks down at this gorgeous boy, "Very well, what is your question?"
"Y-You wouldn't happen to be...seeing anyone at the moment, are you?" Allen looks away briefly in embarrassment.
"Kufufu, fortunately no. I am not dating anyone currently."
"Then...you would not be mad if I do...this," Allen leans up and presses his lips against Mukuro's. The kiss was a quick peck of the lips, but Allen's face was burning and his head was spinning from adrenaline.
Mukuro gently tilts Allen's face up again and held his chin in place to press his lips against the boy's in a longer kiss. "M-mm," Allen moans and pulls Mukuro down onto the bed with him. Mukuro adjusts himself to hold himself up with his forearms and knees, so that he would not crush the poor boy underneath him. Allen caresses Mukuro's hair and back while enjoying the kiss.
After a couple of moments, they part but they stared intently into each other's eyes. Allen sighs contently as Mukuro places a light kiss on the boy's forehead. Allen blushes lightly and said, "I want to go see my innocence. May I have you come with me?"
