-Allen's P.O.V-

I was sitting for only a brief moment of quiet, a smile adorned my face as time seem to tick by slower then normal. No one except me appeared happy, all with various troubled expressions.

"Ne? Is everything alright?" My words fell on deaf ears.

While waiting I felt my smile slowly fall off as anxiety gnawed as my innards. A worn smile found it's way on to Lenalee's face as she was the next to speak.

"Allen...We have...come to an agreement...?" She appeared unsure of herself.

"Yes? What is it?" I asked slowly as to re-a sure I was listening to her words.

"We think that maybe...you should..." My attention was drawn to Lavi's voice as he was the next to speak," Break up with Kai..."

-Third Person P.O.V-

The room was cursed with a heavy silence that sewed shut the mouth of the black order members before Allen's quiet voice pricked the minds of the fellows in the room.

"...Are...Are you serious?" The hesitance ask broke the hearts of many in the room.

Yet the watchdog Link seemed unfazed," As the supervisor said, Allen..."

Yet again a silence set itself upon the group as an awaited reply was yet to come. Allen's head had fallen to look at his knees before a slightly audible chuckle escaped his mouth.

Allen's head remained low as his voice, icy and apathetic, carried across the room," Ne...? Don't you think you guys are...overstepping your bounds?"

It wasn't pleasant to hear Allen like this; Livid. You see when Allen was truly angry he never yelled, he never screamed, he never fought. He was civil, he was proper, he was...detached.

Everyone just assumed they had seen Allen truly angry. They assumed that they knew everything about Allen, who wouldn't? It felt as though you could read him like an open book. Everyone knows what they say about assumptions though...

Allen was one who held many masks, the mask of Red, the mask of mana, the mask of the naive disciple, and of course the perfect hero. With his masks Allen loved many things, he loved having a home, he loved feeling needed, he loved Jerry's cooking, he
loved poker, but Allen valued something ten times more then that: Survival. That was his ultimate goal after all "Always keep walking." Was Mana's way of telling him to survive.

This was the case for a very long time...Until Neah appeared... To be honest Allen first believed Neah was a personification of a need for a person to love him, but that wasn't the case. Neah understood Allen in a way Allen had never been understood before,
as a human and as a child. Neah knew everything about Allen, he understood his sorrows, his ideas, his fear, his joy! Neah loved Allen, and Allen loved Neah, that is why Allen is angry.

Lavi cautiously stepped forward," I know you care for Kai, Allen but we think it might be better if you two broke apart your relationship...We just want what is best for you."

A deep chuckle ringing with anger left Allen as his face drew itself up to stare at Lavi," Oh? And why do you get to decide that?"

Lavi gulped and inched backwards before Lenalee stood up boldly," We're your friends Allen!"

"I see..." Allen's voice sunk into the room as he stared at her. To Lenalee it felt as though she was being evaluating down to her own soul, she attempted to match his gaze but his blank expression left her knees shaking. What scared the black order members
the most was the way Allen's left arm had been slowly turning into it's pale white innocents forum and was slowly engulfing Allen's body, as if trying to calm Allen down.

Crown clown's tendrils slowly wrapped around his arms and back yet Allen's mask and crown were perched slightly behind Allen's left shoulder. The empty hood seemed to convey a message none of the room members could understand. Allen's innocents was not
activated, it was there by it's own sense of disturbance within it's master.

-Neah's P.O.V.-

I felt something wrong. Horribly wrong.

Allen was angry.

My emotions and Allen's balance each other. It allowed us to keep our calm in most situations but if we were pushed to our limits both Allen and I would share the same emotions. I needed to calm him down but I could already feel the anger rushing through
the blood of this fake body.

I heard my teacup drop to the ground and shatter as the scientist humans around me jumped, startled at the sudden noise.

"H-Hey? Are you okay?" A human with large round glasses asked.

"I need to do something." I was doing everything in my power not to drown in my overwhelming rage.

I turned and began to walk out before I felt a small tug on my arm," Wait!"

I don't quite know what I must have looked like to make the human drop my arm and fall back on to it's arse but that is exactly what happened. Turning quickly I rushed out of the room and quickly made my way to the door of the room in which Allen was
livid.

It took all my will power to calmly knock on the door and yell "My tea is done."

I heard Allen's voice telling me I could enter, the calm tone spiked with venom. I entered only to see crown clown trying it's best to calm Allen down, best they could. The woman was collapsed on the floor, from no physical injury, thankfully. Even if
I hated the order, and all the humans within it, Allen would feel incredibly guilty for harming his friends in a fit of anger.

"Allen..." I spoke softly as I felt a small piece of Allen's anger diminishing. It brought me pleasure that my pure presence could calm Allen, even if only slightly.

I took several slow steps before speeding up and hugging Allen. We sunk slowly onto our knees as I felt Allen's face bury itself into the crook of my neck. Crown Clown appeared relieved as I held on.

I heard my own voice quietly, yet loud enough to resonate with in the room," I do not know what happened but I am right here Allen..."

I felt him slowly ease up before letting himself wrap his arms around me. He was still angry but it was becoming more manageable. I sighed in relief. I knew that the humans must have done something to make Allen this upset but I could not focus on that,
if I allowed my own anger to dwell inside of me it would surely spark Allen's own.

I shifted more of Allen's weight onto my own and began a slow rock. I could feel a wave of exhaustion hit Allen as I began to quietly hum. I was humming a small song that I had written for Allen as a child, I called it 'Once Upon a December'.

It had barely broke his consciousness as a child but now it meant more to him. The music swirled around the quiet room enveloping the member in it's soft embrace. I smiled as I closed my eyes.

The tension in the room was lost as I felt Allen drift into the land of sleep, hugging me ever so closely. I felt my skin tingle as the hot anger was replaced by the cool comfortable calm.

I finished the song and the sound of nothing rang throughout the room. I focus solely on Allen as to not get enraged when speaking to the order humans, I had had enough of the negative emotion for today.

I ran my fingers through his white tresses and watched him closely. Until a quiet voice reminded me of where I was.

"Thank you for calming him down, Smith." It was the elder bookman.

"Mmm.." i hummed in a reply," What made him this upset anyways?"

I was met with silence and awkward shifting, it told me all I needed to know," So it WAS you after all...Alright."

I wasn't surprised anymore. I gently picked up Allen and layer him on the couch," Well...I'm not surprised."

I turned to face all the humans, my time was almost up.

"I'll come back to see Allen soon. Tell him goodbye for me." A simple message as I walked out. No one attempted to stop me.

The day ended full of disappointment.


Well...this chapter took longer then expected. It was rather complex to think up and write but I hope this will be satisfactory!

I don't really have a set plan on where to go so if anyone wants to suggest an idea in the comments,I'm open!

I did have a rather hectic week if you're not wondering. I got told that I had two days to prepare to teach two classes with 2 other people, I had a poetry slam, and I had multiple test.

Ugh high school! I'm sure you can relate ?
