It's almost Christmas, which means Allen's birthday is coming up soon, I want to write a fic right on Allen's birthday, and I hope it came out fine. Thankfully, holiday break is here, so I think I can write a decent one...I hope.

Theme: Glasses
Allen had been having some problems with his eyes for a while now, his visions was limited after an Akuma had hit him right in the eyes, everything looked so blurry, he had trouble trying to read any papers that Link had gave him, he had to squint very hard to make out the letters.
This was very frustrating, he wouldn't fight the Akuma with this vision.
He decided to go to Komui to confront about this, it could possibly kill him at this rate.
"Your vision?" Komui repeated, pushing his glasses up.
Allen nodded "It was very blurry and I have to squint very hard to see it."
"Why didn't you tell us sooner, Allen-kun? This is a very serious problem, if you go out with that vision, then you won't even fight well with a level 1."
He winced "Sorry.
"Putting that aside, you'll first be sent to the infirmary to see the head nurse. She will take the measurement of your vision and go downtown to buy glasses, I will assign an exorcist to assist you with."
"But I have Link with me! I don't want to bother anyone else." he protested.
"Link may be an excellent fighter, but he can't eliminate Akuma. It's for safety measure, Allen-kun." Komui said.

Of all exorcist availabe, it has to be that arsehole.
"Why do I have to go with you, baka moyashi?" Kanda glared at him.
"Because Komui asked you, but no one actually ordered you to come with me, BaKanda." Allen said, a smirk blooming on his face "Seems like the prideful exorcist had not carefully listening to someone's words and thought it as a command, how laughable."
And then there's Mugen, ready to cut him to pieces.
'Fifth time in fifteen minutes.' Link sighed, writing it down onto his notebook 'Nothing will stop them from fighting, huh?'
"Why are we even going to town, did you lose something?" Kanda said.
"No." Allen glared at him "Apparently, I have to go to a glasses store to buy a pair of glasses."
Now the taller exorcist looked alarmed.
"For you? But your vision is normal." he said.
"It used to be, but now it looks kinda blurry." he replied, squinting at the paper which he could identify as 20/50.
Kanda snatched the paper and read it, then he looked back at the white-haired man.
"How?" he demanded.
"An Akuma hit me in the eyes, but the eye that can see the Akuma is in perfect vision, so I don't have to worry about that." he managed a small smile "At least that eye isn't damaged."
Kanda glared at him "That's nothing to be proud of, baka moyashi!"
"It's Allen!"
This time, much to Link's surprise, he just 'che'ed and stomped away, with Allen quickly but carefully following against him. Link followed them while mentally noting that information in his head.
'So a curse never weakens no matter what, huh?' he thought.

There were so many glasses, but almost none of them fitted Allen's 'moyashi look', as Kanda had kindly put it. Some of them were too big, too round, too small, hell, even some are too sharp. Even if they found the right lens for him, squared but a bit round at the corners, they still have to find the right frames for it. It felt like they were back to square one to Kanda.
"I look silly." Allen commented, frowning at the mirror which showed the glasses.
"Then pick something else." he said.
"It's hard, you know." the white-haired boy sighed while taking them off "I'm not picking it because I look fancy in it, I pick it because I want to see how far the range the glasses can help me look."
Kanda 'tch'ed and glanced at the window, people were walking around and talking and giggling like they were high on drugs. It usually only annoyed him only the slightest, but today, the annoyance just increased tenfold.
He didn't want to admit it, but the moyashi looked cute in those glasses.
Those glasses might looked silly on him, but they also made him looked cute. They made him looked more innocent, younger and brighter, it was the opposite look of someone who always looked sad, old and dark when he was fighting the Akuma.
Kanda wanted to protect that look, he's sick and tired of everyone's defeated look when they realized the war wasn't coming to an end, even if they got the Destroyer of Time and the 14th Noah.
"You look perfect!"
He looked back and was quite surprised when a pair of glasses looked rather well with the moyashi.
"These are our new designs, called the modern frames, it's not easily breakable than the old glasses." the man said.
He was right, the glasses fit the moyashi quite nicely, instead of those thin frames, it seemed to be made out of plastic, and they fit his lens, too.
And he looked cuter.
Allen turned to him "How do I look?"
"Why are you asking me?" Kanda said.
"Because I want to know if I still have that moyashi look or not." he said, looking at him fully "So how do I look, Kanda?"
Well fuck it.
"You look cute." he said before leaving the shop.
It shocked Allen, and it shocked Link too, to hear the prideful and pissy exorcist to utter the word 'cute'. Allen flushed and quickly paid for the glasses (using the Order's money, of course, he would never use the money he saves, never, even if it meant paying for his master's debts) before chasing after the man.
Link, who recovered the shock, quickly followed after them with Timcanpy.
"You saw it, right?" he said quietly.
"Grah!" the golem said.
"Good, it will be a good thing to use for the future." the blond-haired man smirked.
No one will ever know that, only both of them saw it.
Kanda's face with a barely hint of flush on his cheeks.
Link and Timcanpy are the best duo when it comes to blackmail, and Link is getting devious, probably because of Allen's influence.
You don't know how annoying it is when you have to put a space between the D and the Gray in the name, it honestly frustrates me.
Alright, pick a theme, any theme:
1/ The End
2/ Pretty
Until next time.
