Well, third chapter's up. Do feel free to give me some opposite words as suggestions, yea! (: And anyone of you has piano scores for the musician's melody? Although i have made my own, i can't memorise the whole song yet. x
Recap:
As the drilling started, my arms went numb, eyes went black. The worst thing was, I couldn't fall unconscious, the pain was unbearable. My arms felt as if they were tearing apart. I was sweating, screaming for help. To no avail. I should've known. I am the saviour, no one saves the saviour. Just then, a green blur whizzed past me. The drillings stopped, as I fell into unconsciousness. "Lenalee, I need a saviour." I moaned, that was the last I could say.
I was thinking of going to find Allen, to stare at his eyes deeply enough to know how he's feeling. However, it would be so time-wasting if I went around finding him. I thought about it for a while, he was called to Nii-san's office a while ago… Wait… That's dangerous for him. What was he there for again? Leisure. I'm so sorry, Allen-kun, I took so long to find out. Immediately, I activated my dark boots, the new innocence was far more comfortable than the previous ones when inactivated, the bracelets was always cool, reminding me to keep my feelings calm wherever, whenever.
I sped over to Nii-san's office, deactivating my innocence, I reached out and tugged at the handle—locked. This implied only one thing. Allen-kun's in very, very, extremely, terribly, horrible trouble. I needed to save him, I want to look into his EYE!!
Hastily running over towards the secret entrance Nii-san only tells me and Reever-san about, slamming the block to open the secret door. What I saw made me horrified. Allen was bound towards the main entrance door, with leather straps that trapped him. Nii-san was holding two enormous metal drills, spinning and grinding heavily. No wonder he wanted sound-proof doors. Allen-kun's head hung low. Obviously after enduring a harsh punish, though for what, I had no idea. Suddenly, brother once again starts his drilling, although Allen-kun's arm was uninjured, he still drilled into his arms, as if it was the last time he was going to get to torture anyone else. I could see the evil glint in his eyes, filled with pleasure. It kind of disgusted me, doing such a thing to my Allen-kun, Destroyer of Time, and the most important exorcist in the Black Order. Did I just say 'my' Allen-kun? It didn't matter now, Nii-san's doing something so wrong, I'm going to punish him. "Lenalee!!" Allen-kun screamed in pain. He thought about me till the end.. How touching.
"Innocence, activate!" I charged in, aiming a kick directly at Nii-san's head. He really deserved a beating now, and he was going to get it.
As my boot smashed into Nii-san's face, I tilted my head slightly to look into Allen-kun's eyes, it was filled with sorrow, a slight murmur from his mouths as I sped past, "Lenalee, I need a saviour." He really looked less happy than the normal Allen-kun I've always seen him as.
"Lenalee-chan!!" Nii-san shouted, enraged as I was, I couldn't leave Allen-kun alone there.
"What are you doing, nii-san? What have you done to Allen-kun?" I said firmly, in a calm voice, filled with rage, yet calm and steady. My brother knows me well enough to tell I'm angry.
"Well.. You see.. Err.. He was taking advantage of you, Lenalee!" he was raising his voice at me. He was right to cherish his life, of course.
"In what way was he taking advantage of me, nii-san?" I questioned, almost to the point of interrogation. I planted a smile on my face, as fake as possible, to show him how angry I was. I felt like ripping his head out, walking towards him while my smile laid on my face, unmoving.
"Well.. eh.. He touched you when you were sleeping! That octopus Allen Walker! I'll go kill him once more, all for you, my precious Lenalee!!" he was about to grab his drills when my feet met his face, sending his head flying backwards. He was now lying on the floor, facing upwards with his arms spread out. A bite of blood trickled from his nose, did I go too far?
"Sorry, Lenalee. I should've known he liked you some time sooner." Nii-san was mumbling while he was on the verge of unconsciousness. As he used his last bit of strength to click a bright green button on a remote control, the straps on the door let loose, and Allen-kun fell flat onto the overwhelming heaps of paper.
"Allen-kun!" I cried, before rushing over and tending to him, I could feel the slight vibration of his arms, both numb from the 'punishment'. Looking at Nii-san in his battered state, I felt a lot better. Smirking to myself, I carried Allen-kun in my arms and headed towards his room.
I flinched as I felt myself being carried somewhere, who was carrying me? Whoever it was, it was warm, I could feel the vibration in my arms, numb and stinging. I felt my hair all messy, I wonder how embarrassing it would be if Lenalee saw me this beaten up. Surely I wouldn't give her a good impression of a manly, saviour that's supposed to be strong. Just then, I remembered I was still being carried, I looked up, only to find myself in Lenalee's arms! Blushing furiously, I'm glad she wasn't looking at me, but was focusing on the route. Being so close to Lenalee was still very weird for me. I was supposed to be the one to protect her, and now it was the other way around.
It was expected though, I can't go up against Komui-san. Either way, I shouldn't have touched Lenalee while she's asleep, I sighed guiltily to myself. How I wish she loved me like how I loved her.
"Allen-kun, are you alright?" she asked, a look of concern on her face. I shouldn't have let her worry, the punishment was deserved, though. I did something so… So indecent, hugging her when she didn't know. If I wanted to hug her, I should hug her if she allows it…
"I'm fine, Lenalee, you can put me down now." I smiled gratefully, looking into her eyes. She suddenly stopped walking forward. Did I just say something wrong? Oh my, this didn't feel good. Fortunately, I felt her lowering my legs onto the ground. Holding her shoulder for support, I had a hard time standing. Walking unsteadily over towards the nearest bench, I felt my knees buckle and I fell hard onto the bench. "Oof!" Ahh.. that hurt a bit.
"Allen-kun, you aren't alright!" Lenalee said, a harsh tone in her voice. Avoiding her gaze, I motioned for her to sit beside me.
For a moment, I didn't feel any movement, maybe she didn't want to sit beside me. I should've known better than to have offered that. Just when I was about to apologise, she sat down beside me, still silent, though. "Lenalee, are you angry?" I asked. I didn't like to see her angry, it made me feel guilty. I managed to finally look at her. Her head hung down, starting at the floor, her fringe still managed to cover her eyes. No matter what, she looked beautiful, her short hair started to grow a bit more. I liked her with her short hair, I think she looks prettier this way. The way her ears appeared from underneath her hair made her look slightly… cute.
"So, Allen…" She said in a sweet voice, still avoiding my gaze. She didn't complete her sentence. Maybe she was really angry at me for some reason. The most rational thing to do now was… apologise.
"I'm sorry, Lenalee. I shouldn't have made Komui-san angry…" I said, obvious guilt in my voice. She had to save me from her brother just because I did something wrong. I did something so selfish.
"It's not your fault, Allen-kun." She looked up and stared at me. I flushed, and looked away to avoid her gaze. "Nii-san was irrational." No he wasn't.
"No, he wasn't, Lenalee. He did that for a reason." I had to tell her what I did that night, I can't keep it a secret any longer. If she and her brother got angry at each other just because of me… I couldn't stand that. "That night, when you were sleeping in the train when we were coming back from Czechoslovakia, well…" Should I tell her? Of course I should. I was blushing furiously now. Trembling slightly, not only from the numbness in my arms, but due to nervousness.
"Yes, Allen-kun?" Lenalee questioned. I still didn't dare look at her.
"I hugged you, pulled you in closer and made you rest your head on my shoulder." I said. She was going to be angry for sure. The last time Lavi touched her for no good reason, she sent a kick flying in his face, breaking his nose. I slowly tilted my head up, and found her violet, gleaming pearly eyes staring into my gray eyes. She was slightly troubled, I could tell.
"I'm really sorry, Lenalee. Please forgive me." I tried to get her forgiveness. I wonder if she would forgive me… I noticed her cheeks turned slightly pink. Was she blushing?
"I wasn't asleep, you know?" What?! What the heck? I blushed frantically.
"Y-you weren't?" I turned my head away, avoiding her stare. She was looking into my eyes, I could feel her prodding at my soul, trying to learn all my secrets. I didn't like that feeling, Lenalee worrying over me.
"Nope, I wasn't. I liked it, Allen-kun." She suddenly reached out her hands and held my face, trying to turn it so I could face her. I resisted a little but she gradually applied more strength. My hands were still too numb to resist. I closed my eyes and let her hand guide my head to face her.
I felt her hands release my head, relaxing slightly, I suddenly found myself, eyes closes, in a tight hug with Lenalee. I immediately tensed up. What was happening?! This is bad, right after a close encounter with death. I haven't learnt my lesson! But Lenalee was awake, there was no lesson to be learnt. I smiled at myself for being such a genius to find that out.
I pulled Allen-kun into a hug. He still refused to let me look into his eye. I wanted to know his sorrow, to share his burden, to see if he loved me. He closed his eye as I tilted his head to face me. Why doesn't he just let me look into his eyes? Looking at his face, I could still feel his heart thumping so quickly and hard, I felt it when I held his face. Poor Allen-kun, always the innocent boy. I felt something rise up from within me, a warmth, sweet, sensation. Something like a fragrance. I pulled him into a tight hug, feeling him tense up all of a sudden. I looked at him, his eyes were still closed.
Suddenly, I felt him hug me back. "Lenalee, I've been wanting to tell you for a long time." I could feel him shivering slightly, how cute.
"I love you."
Lavi has always pointed it out that I have feelings for Lenalee. Maybe I should just tell her, I find it so hard not knowing how she feels about me. It's about time, too. I love her. I relaxed slightly and hugged her back, "Lenalee, I've been wanting to tell you for a long time." I was very nervous, my spine was about to drop out.
"I love you." There. I did it. I couldn't breathe another breath. I waited patiently for her answer.
"I love you too, Allen-kun." Lenalee said that. Did she just say that?!
I confessed to him! I finally did bring myself to tell him. As I hugged him even tighter, I realized something. Who cares about the eyes, I can look into his heart.
Sorry for the large amounts of lines at the end. I'm rushing this . Goodnight everyone. R.R Please! . Do let me know whether I'm too long-winded or not. And give me some words to write about! .
