"Yeah! Timothy is working eh I mean! Helping his big brother with the café sometimes!" Lavi said, waving his hands up and down with a grin, looking at his friends.
"So this is why timothy has been disappearing! I was starting to get worried" lenalee sighed, while miranda agreed that she was worried for nothing.
"But who is this big brother you're talking about lavi?" Miranda asked, she isn't as nervous as she was a few years ago, no she has grown and learned.
"Its not some strange pedophil guy dont worry! He is pretty nice! He is maybe two years younger than me and yuu-chan" kanda held mugen on his throat and only 'che'ed at this.
lavi squeaked "I thought about going to the café! Who wants to come with me!?" He asked, hiding behind lenalee, grinning in excitement. Lenalee offers a smile at the bunny and agreed on coming with him.
That means that she will drag Kanda in this too. Marie, Miranda and krory couldn't come but will the next time, they promised.
After the trio left the room, they cheered. Okay more like lavi cheered and the other two just watched. Komui allowed them a break!
Let's go!" Exclaimed lavi walking forward to the underground exit they use when they have missions.
With lavi walking forward and chatting with lenalee, kanda sighed.
He was being dragged into this, he could use the time for much more than this. Like training or eating soba.
But the baka usagi wouldn't let him. He scoffed.
"Here we are!" Lavi said pointing at the door in front of them. The café looked nice from the outside, not so shabby or old and not too new.
He opened he door with his friends following. "Hey albino-chan! I got my friends with me!" As he saw the white haired boy, he blinked. "Albino-chan! What happened with your eye?!" He asked suprised.
"Ah lavi.. welcome" he touched his bandaged eye. "Don't worry about it" he said. "Albino-chan! This is serious! You can't just patch your eye up saying it was nothing!"
"Lavi it's really nothing" the teen sighed, tired.
"It has to be something serious! Ah! Is that blood?!" Lavi practically freaked out at the sight of blood.
"Ah... don't worry really I just had a little accident"
"You're bleeding! This can't be just a little accident!"
They both stopped as the girl with short green hair cough to get their attention. "Lavi that's enough, if he doesn't want to tell us then its okay" she turned to the white teen. "I'm sorry, lavi can get really worried if he sees something like this" she gestured to his eye.
The albino just laughed nervously. "I-I see.. ah please come to the counter!" He suddenly remembers that these people are his customers. Soon lavi introduced his friends as lenalee and Kanda.
Kanda is suspicious, not like lavi and wisely, mugen his innocence has been acting strange around the teen. He thought nothing about it at first but it soon proved to be wrong. Mugen is reacting to the teen.
With a slight glance, he noticed the rings around lenalee's feet are shaking slightly and that hummer from the baka usagi is shining slightly.
Did they not notice it? No, they had to notice this. Or they are just ignoring it.
They followed the teen to the counter and Kanda frowned unnoticed. They were in a café. That means no soba.
He could kill someone right now.
"So what can I bring you three?" The teen, moyashi he dubbed, asked.
"Moyashi" he said in a rude manner.
"My name is allen to your information and yes?" Allen had a very hard time not to beat that guy up.
"Green tea. And if you dont have it" he dangerously glared at the teen.
"Yes we have green tea bakanda" he said smiling, kanda felt his eye twitch. At least he wasn't called yu.
Lavi himself had a hard time not to laugh at the insult. It was priceless.
Lenalee just sighed again, but is amused at the scene in front of her. "Do you have chinese candies too?" Lenalee asked unsure. "I surprisingly have!" Answered allen smiling.
"So which Chinese candy do you mean?"
"Do you have Tanghulu?"
"Ah! You mean the candied fruits don't you?" Lenalee nodded, her eyes gleaming. "I indeed have! Do you want the strawberry stick or the one with different fruits? Or both?" Lenalee agreed on both.
"Lavi? The same from last time?" Lavi only nodded with a grin. "You already know me so good albino-chan! I feel honored!" With a smile, he waved them off. "Just sit down and relax, I'll bring the orders soon"
Lavi turned around and stalked to the spot he and Timothy ate last time. He stopped with lenalee as allen called out for Kanda with his nickname. "Please don't destroy my shop with that sword of yours" lavi laughed out loud while lenalee actually tried to stifle her laughter.
Kanda's eye twitched again, he growled. "Shut it moyashi" he hissed in irritation. His hand already on mugen.
Then allen disappeared into the kitchen for lenalee's sweets. The three sat down.
"Spit it out baka usagi, why are we really here" it wasn't a question, it was an order.
Levi's expression went serious at this, surprising his friends slightly. "I'm guessing that allen has innocence" he said.
"Tell me something new" kanda che'ed. "But he doesn't seem to have an object with him" lenalee wondered.
"He could be having it in this café, we just have to find it!" Lavi explained.
Kanda ignored the rest of the conversation, instead he focused on the teen, who came out with the chinese sweets he guessed, and is now preparing his green tea.
It seemed absurd, if he really has an equipment type of innocence wouldn't something happen? Innocence is always uncontrollable before it activated for the first time.
That only means that he already activated it or that he doesn't use an equipment type, but a parasitic type of innocence.
If he really has a parasitic type of innocence, in which body part would the innocence be then?
Such a pain in the ass
Allen soon came and placed their orders down in front of them, if kanda's green tea isn't edible then he is gonna use mugen and slice the moyashi up.
"Are you sure you don't want anything to drink lenalee?" Allen asked a bit worried.
"Don't worry Allen-kun, I'm not really thirsty"
"How about a glass water?"
Lenalee gave up, allen really is stubborn just like a little kid, she giggled. "Fine a glass water is okay" nodding allen went to the kitchen again.
Kanda noticed, the moyashi has been wearing these suspicious gloves too.
Bringing the glass water to lenalady, he sat down as well. "May I?" He asked. "Of course!" Lavi responded, eating his French cake.
"Hey Allen-kun did you make the tanghulu?" Lenalee asked as she ate a fruit from the candied stick. Allen nodded. "Really?" she blinket surprised. "Yeah I can do many sweets from different countries!"
"Where did you learn it from?"
"Before I opened the café, I traveled from country to country, the people there happily showed and helped me learn how to make these" and I had to run away afterwards because they were adept collectors who were after master, he added in his mind darkly.
"Ehhh traveling around huh? I've been traveling around too with panda-jiji" lavi took a bite from his cake.
"Panda-jiji?"
"Ah lavi nicknamed bookman panda since he does look like one" lenalee giggles again. "So lavi is the bookman's apprentice?" Lavi nodded. "Yeah! He always tortures me with history!" He whined making allen chuckle. "Well isn't it a bookman's duty to record history? So if course you need to study and know everything about it"
"Wait.. how do you know the duty of a bookman?" Lavi asked, he is curious but only these who are involved into the war know what a bookman does.
"Mhm. I once knew a bookman, he was very smart and knew everything. He had long Auburn hair with these thick and big glasses on, he looked ridiculous with these" and beside the fact that I am actually him, he added again in his mind.
"Really? But what do you mean with was?" Allen gripped his pants. "He... he died" lenalee's eyes widened, so do kanda's and lavi's.
"How? How did he die allen?" Lavi asked. Allen shook his head. "I don't know how, but i know he is" since I saw and felt how he died, I was him and now I am in this body...
"I'm.. we're sorry Allen-kun" lenalee took Allen's hands squeezing them softly. Allen shook his head again. "Its okay lenalee, I didn't even meant to tell anyone about this" he sweat dropped and then stood up. "The last customers just went, I'll be right back" they nodded, kanda just che'ed again.
Allen...
Don't worry neah, it was a good choice to change the body.. the former one you knew was weak, it would'nt have managed the noah awakening
That's right... the allen back then, officially died in an akuma attack, only two people know how he really dead
You and master...
You shouldn't let these exorcists wait, the girly face is suspicious enough and with bookman's apprentice and a noah hot on our tails isn't really better allen only nodded at this, and left the kitchen with a wet cloth for the tables.
"I will be starting to clean up, you guys can still sit there If you want" allen smiled at them.
"Wait Allen-kun! Me and lavi want to help, can we?" Lenalee asked as gentle as she could. Remembering the conversation she and lavi had as allen went to the kitchen again.
"Umm... sure but only if you want! I don't want to force you two!" Lenalee and lavi only laughed. "Yes we want to help" winked lavi. "So are we allowed to enter the holy ground of the maker of sweets?" Lavi asked referring to the kitchen. Allen grinned. "But of course! You may see my holy ground, you oh so holy people" he answered.
Lavi whistled and with lenalee they disappeared into the kitchen.
They looked around the kitchen, searching for anything innocence alike. "Lenalady, any luck?"
"No lavi, on this side are only bake supplies" she heard lavi opening the fridge.
"Look! The holy cakes are here in!" He grinned as lenalee face-palmed. "Not now lavi!" She hissed.
They didn't find anything innocence alike, so they just took wet cloth pieces and went out again.
"Took yer two long enough" allen shook his head. "Was it so amazing on my holy ground?" Lavi only blinked.
"Hmm? Did I say something wrong?" Asked allen.
"No no just wondering, yer?" Lavi had a teasing smile. Allen shrugged. "Looks like my accent slipped, oops" he laughed nervously, scratching his neck.
"Accent? Allen what nationality do you belong to?"
"I'm actually a brit, full blood english. Funny isn't it?"
"I actually already thought you were from such a nation, you're way too formal, no wonder! You're a brit!" Allen just laughed. "Not all Brits are formal, lavi"
Lavi just stuck his tongue out, making allen even laugh more.
Outside of the shop, allen closed the door and locked it. "Finish!"
"Good work allen" lavi said, playfully hitting Allen's shoulder. Allen laughed.
"I hope you three come ofter from now on, I really enjoyed your company" he smiled sheepishly.
"Awww moyashi-chan enjoyed my presence! Unlike a certain someone" kanda shot him a glare in which lavi made hide behind allen, which is funny because lavi is taller than him.
"Aw yuu-chan! Don't glare at me! That's mean!" Lavi whined.
"Shut up baka usagi! And don't call me by my first name!" He pointed his katana at allen. "Out of the way moyashi!" As allen did so, with a grin, lavi cried out and runned away with a furious Kanda hot on his tail.
"You should better keep a good eye on them" chuckled allen, looking at lenalee. "I will make sure to visit you often allen-kun! See you soon!" She waved and run after the two boys.
Allen sighed. "What a trouble some trio"
Says you said neah in his mind with a smirk. Oh shut it between us, you were the former destruction, I'm just continuing your work allen chuckled again as neah pouted.
Let's go home I'm tired allen turned into a corner, looking out to see if someone is watching him. He opened the ark gate and stepped through it.
A trouble some day but it was indeed still funny.
