Hope you like it (: I still think I suck at fight scenes, so sorry if the fighting seemed slightly less descriptive or whatever XD

"I heard Allen and Lenalee were getting along rather well, you know." Said a Finder, his cloak covering most of his face, all Komui wanted to know, was whether it was true, his eye glint evilly, as his mind entertained thoughts and imaginations on a screaming Allen Walker, arm vibrating more than 10,000 times a second.

"You mean the two most famous exorcists?!" The second Finder replied, "I thought they had it going for a long time already!" Komui's jaw dropped low, surely Lenalee didn't agree with this! She wouldn't abandon her brother, would she?

The two Finders continued their gossip, unaware of the octopus-exterminator located right behind the pillar, oblivious to how important this was, in the act of changing Komui's mindset.

I will find out! I frowned in determination, unwilling to step down, for Lenalee's sake, I will find out the truth about Allen and Lenalee! I thought about it for a while, Lenalee probably doesn't know about that octopus Allen, so I'll need some help from my fellow octopus-haters! I grinned evilly, after all, I had just the perfect squad to send out, and I'll prove that Allen is an octopus to Lenalee!

I leaped up in success, "Reever-san, Johnny, Sixty-five, and… Lavi!" I grinned happily, Allen was going down!

My perfect plan came into action when Allen and Lenalee were sent on a confidential mission to Northern Ireland, the protestants and Catholic's riots had ended abruptly, suspicions of Akuma were evident, I could send them on a mission, and spy on them. There would probably be no Noah there, after all. At most, a level 3 or so, but Allen could take on level 3s easily… No worries. What about Lenalee?! She fought with a Level 4 alone, she can do this! I can't doubt my own sister, can I? It'll be approximately 30 chance that there'll be level 3s, anyway.

Best of all… We can all spy on them easily. I gleamed in delight. Lenalee will be delighted, after knowing what I'm doing for her good!

Allen walked towards the cafeteria, it was the meeting area for Allen and Lenalee. "Ah, Lenalee!" Allen smiled, "Good morning." Lenalee looked up, glad that she met Allen this early in the morning, the grumpy morning mood left her instantaneously.

"Good morning, Allen-kun!" Lenalee beamed, "Are you ready to leave?" she inquired, before hearing a loud growl from Allen's stomach. Allen blushed in embarrassment, before ruffling his hair.

"Sorry, Lenalee. We could head out now if you want to." He smiled thoughtfully, before Lenalee shook her head, and pushed Allen onwards, towards the target!

"Jerry, good morning!" Allen cried happily, "I would like a…"

Lenalee was smiling as she shook her head in astonishment while walking towards one of the tables to sit, waiting for Allen. She still couldn't imagine how Allen-kun's stomach could contain such a humongous amount of food. Not long later, Allen arrived, with the same two trays of food, before gobbling them up in break-neck speed. Lenalee just blinked in surprise, before they both cleared the dishes together, Lenalee gratefully helping despite Allen's protests.

"Looks like it's still alright…" I grinned. Allen was bound to do something worthy of my wrath sooner or later. Little did I know, the squad members I chose, were all on Allen's side.

"Lenalee," I tugged at her arm, she was going the wrong direction, "We have to go by train, the ark doesn't have a room opening towards Northern Ireland yet." Lenalee opened her mouth in shock.

"Wow, Allen-kun, it's the first time you chose the right direction!" She grinned, before sticking her tongue out like a child, she looked so cute. I blushed slightly, refusing to entertain thoughts about Lenalee, who was older than me, being cute.

Allen, that's one close move…If you had tugged a little harder… All hell would've broken loose! No, but I must catch him red-handed, so Lenalee has no choice but to watch Nii-san protect her!

I let out an evil chuckle, as squad Octopus follo—stalked the pair till they reached the docks, nothing suspicious so far.

I stretched out my hand to usher Lenalee into the boat, smiling generously. She slid into the boat gracefully, before I stepped into the boat, trying to soften my footsteps as much as possible so the boat didn't sway too much, which would cause discomfort to Lenalee. I signaled to the finder that I could steer, it was Toma, after all. He knew that I liked to maneuver the boat, he turned over towards me and smiled politely through his mask that covered the bottom half of his face.

I steered the boat all the way out, before taking a short walk towards the train station, and waited for the train. Throughout the whole boat ride, I couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfortable, as if someone was watching me from the back. I shrugged it off as a bad day, before helping Lenalee off the boat.

I offered to help her carry her briefcases, stretching out my arm politely and smiling, she hesitated for a while, had I angered her? My hand twitched slightly, as I looked at her, confused. What was it she wanted? "Allen-kun," she started, "Even though I said you weren't as polite as before, you need not act like such a gentleman in front of me, you know?" She giggled joyfully, as she nudged me playfully.

I could feel the warmth in my cheeks as I replied, "Well, I hope you can accept my offer to help, anyway." Smiling casually, she returned the smile and placed her briefcases in my hands. The last time I carried her briefcase, it was when she left them at the gate, and I had apologized to her, as she reprimanded me. I shook the head out of my mind, only to find Lenalee staring at me with curiosity now. I tousled my hair slightly, smiling innocently.

"What's wrong?" Lenalee asked, frowning a little bit now. The train 'choo-choo'ed to a stop, as the doors swung open and passengers alighted hastily.

"We better get going, Allen." Oh, how much gratitude I felt towards Toma, saving me out of the tight spot. I had requested that he stopped addressing me as Walker-sama, or Walker-san, and Lenalee refused to let him call me Allen-kun. Either way, 'Allen' was just fine, too.

I smiled a silent 'thank you' at Toma before heading into the train, placing our belongs on the overhead compartments, I sat down beside Toma, facing Lenalee.

Hehehe… Allen better watch out. His hands almost grasped hers during the 'briefcase moment'. Somehow, one way or another, I always managed to create specific names for whatever I want to, on the spot. I chuckled evilly once again, as we took our place a few seats away, yet having a clear diagonal view of Allen and Lenalee. I looked at Squad Octopus, admiring the perfection of it. EH?! Where did Kanda come from?! It's alright, 1 more fighter to accompany Lavi in helping me to fend off the octopus!

Wait… Don't tell me… I drugged Kanda's food too?!

Lenalee fell asleep so quickly, she looks like an angel when she's sleeping, I thought. Toma left a little while ago to entertain his cards, while I was unable to sleep at the moment. Gazing at the angel sitting opposite me, the train jerked slightly, as I gripped the window pane and sunk my feet into the ground, although it was impossible, to stop myself from falling, or hitting into anything. Lenalee however, didn't budge, a few strands of her hair slid from her right side, hiding her right eye, and coming close to her mouth, which was open, breathing in, and out, and in, and out, so peacefully. I smiled in comfort, just looking at her like that made me feel a strange sense of warmth and contentment. My arm moved on it's own as I leaned forward and used my index finger to move her hair away, tucking her fringe at the side once again, her eyes shot open.

Just then, my arms shot back, as my elbow hit the back of the seat hard, my arm stung in pain, as the blow landed nicely on my nerve. I felt my arm go numb, as it felt so hot, I blushed furiously as I forgot the pain and remembered her waking up. "E-eh… Sorry. Well, y-your hair was g-going into your mouth and…" I stuttered, unable to talk in proper sentences.

"It's okay, Allen-kun." She just smiled sweetly before attempting to fall asleep again. I sighed in relief, Lenalee's so understanding not to pursue the topic. Looking out of the windows, all I saw was mountains, mountains, and mountains. This boredom was killing, as my eyelids began to close…

I FELL ASLEEP!! NO!! When I woke up, everyone else was asleep, so it didn't matter, it seems Allen is asleep too! So, he didn't do anything to my precious Lenalee! I smiled happily, Nii-san will keep you safe!

"Allen, wake up." Toma poked me slightly, as I shot up, looking around frantically before realizing we had arrived in Northern Ireland. I looked across my seat, Lenalee was already awake, giggling at my reaction, probably. I blushed in frustration and smiled.

Carrying the briefcases, I quickened my footsteps to catch up with Lenalee and Toma, who were having a very entertaining conversation, smiling happily and laughing. "What were you two talking about?" I asked, maybe I wasn't as funny as Toma. Sighing deeply within myself, I kept my smile plastered on my face, while the two of them looked at me in an awkward manner.

"Allen-kun, Toma-san says that you were mumbling in your sleep!" She giggled, before laughing uncontrollably. I stole a glance at Toma, who nodded slightly before turning my attention back at Lenalee. "He said you were mumbling names and things you shouldn't be mumbling! Imagining Allen-kun mumbling in his sleep!" She continued laughing as I tilted my eyebrows, not recalling anything at all.

While Lenalee went to the washroom, Toma silently walked over to me, "You really shouldn't be calling her name when you're asleep." I couldn't even smile, my mouth opened wide in shock as I gaped at Toma.

"You mean… Lenalee?" I questioned, not believing him.

"Yes, and please, not when she's just opposite you. You should be glad she wasn't awake to listen to your rants about protecting her and sorts." His grin grew wider, I could see them through his mask. I felt myself flush as I put a finger over my mouth, hoping Toma wasn't the sort who would blackmail… If Komui saw that…

"Let's go!" Lenalee came back, her hands slightly damp as I drew out a piece of tissue from my free hand and offered it to her. She gladly accepted it, smiling gratefully. We headed off towards the empty streets, which looked really deserted. I looked at Toma and Lenalee with concern, Lenalee felt the same way, but Toma didn't seem surprised.

Noticing our discomfort, he kindly explained it to us, "Well, apparently the Catholics do not leave their houses due to the riots, and this is a rather deserted area, it'll be different once we enter the actual city." He stated bluntly.

We continued walking along, I didn't really noticed the route, I was stealing glances at Lenalee, who looked so pretty in her short hair, I enjoyed looking at her. All of a sudden, my eye activated, as Lenalee and I immediately activated our innocence.

"My, my… A huge catch!" A purple level 3 said, mocking us. Beside him stood around 20 other level 3s, and in front of all of them, a golden Akuma, seemingly level 3, but had the most sense of leadership among them. It point at me, and around 10 level 3s stepped up, and faced me, while the others were left to Lenalee.

Oh my, I never expected this. It's alright! My plan is working, Allen and Lenalee can handle level 3s with no problem! I grinned, surely Allen was stronger than this.

I struggled to keep up with 10 level 3s at one go, sneaking glances at Lenalee, she was handling the Akuma's well, as she moved faster than Allen, allowing her to seemingly bounce on the Akumas, she already took 1 down.

"Pay attention, boy!" one shouted, before I could react, a foot swung against my cheek as I went flying to the right, not able to dodge while flying, the others took this opportunity and attacked me.

"Clown Belt!" The white bands shot outwards, impaling an Akuma, as Crowned Clown's crown was worn, I was lucky I only got slashed in the arm slightly. Warm blood flowed out from the gaping wound, it didn't hurt much. I learnt not to look at Lenalee for no good reason anymore.

The Akuma's started charging at me, trying to surround me, yet unable to, as I rushed over towards the purple Akuma, slashing at it with my huge sword, he sidestepped it, only to meet with my boot, this level of fighting was alright.

I had better end this fast, as I was getting exhausted, there were only about 6 more Akumas left on my side. Just last through a bit more, all of them made vital mistakes which led to me destroying them. I had an idea, as I tried to lure them near me, I looked over towards Lenalee, yet watching the Akumas from the edge of my eyes. Thinking I was distracted, they charged towards me, "Clown Belt!" I cried, as I impaled the last of the level 3s. I smiled in satisfaction, level 3s certainly weren't strong enough for me or Lenalee.

Looking over towards her fight, she was fending off two level 3s, as she waltz in the air, smashing their heads and kicking their joints, I couldn't help but notice her beauty even in fighting. My thoughts suddenly turned towards the golden Akuma who was missing, I scanned the area, had he retreated? I found it, a hole in the ground, the most possible target it would go after was…

I jumped up as instinct, as the ground below me exploded, a sharp spear piercing upwards, I slashed through it, as it faded away, like mist. Oh crap.

I sprinted over to Lenalee, who had just finished off the last few Akumas, to my horror, I could see the spearhead from the ground, as time froze slightly, I lunged at her and pushed her with as much force as possible, to get away from the blow, I twirled my body sideways at the last minute, as the spearhead sliced through my back, an agonizing pain filled me, as I moaned slightly. "Edge End!" I shouted, destroying the last Akuma, who hadn't been able to dodge after he speared me. Sorry. It whispered, before fading into dust. I felt my vision blurring slightly, as Lenalee appeared into my sight.

"Lenalee, are you alright?" I asked, hoping she didn't get hurt from fighting off the large number of level 3s. Lenalee smiled benevolently, nodding lightly, while crying all the while. She leaned over me, mumbling words I couldn't hear, I held her hand in mine, just then, a shadowy figure dawned upon me… The Octopus Terminator.

I cringed in horror, afraid he would torture me for doing something wrong, when I dared open my eyes again, Lavi, Reever, Johnny, 65 and Kanda were all staring down at me. How did reinforcements arrive so quickly? They were all mumbling, yet I didn't understand, as I fell unconscious, Lenalee's hand still in mine.

Back at headquarters

Well, at least he protected my precious Lenalee!

No! I shouldn't be thinking of such things, he was on the verge of dying!

But he's an octopus!

He was willing to give out his life for Lenalee so easily!

I didn't know which voice to listen to, to kill, or not to kill… I snuck a peek into the room, Allen still lay still on the bed, Lenalee sat beside the bed, fast asleep. Allen's eyes blinked open, as he rubbed his teary eyes with his hands, Lenalee felt the movement and woke up immediately, and intertwined her hands with Allen's.

I felt like crying out in terror and bursting into the room, but something told me I couldn't. No, I shouldn't. Allen looked up with grateful eyes, smiling pleasantly, "Lenalee, you weren't hurt, were you?"

First thing he asked, was about Lenalee. It was like this all the time, from the Rewinding Town, after the Ark, as long as he woke up, Allen would ask about Lenalee the first. He really cared for her…

No! Not that octopus!

Lenalee laughed heartily, "Of course I'm fine, you idiot!" She removed her hand from his and patted his head playfully. Allen blushed.

Another sign, embarrassment, Allen feels flustered around Lenalee easily, at least that means he won't make fun of Lenalee, and will watch his words around Lenalee.

No!! I can't let Lenalee have a person like Allen!

The silence stood, yet it wasn't an awkward silence, something more pleasant. They both sat down, looking at each other, smiling at each other.

I hadn't seen Lenalee smile so happily like when she's around Allen. That boy was special in her eyes…

B-but!! But… He's Allen!! And… She's Lenalee, MY Lenalee!!

Allen broke the silence, "So… sorry to make you worry, Lenalee." He grinned slightly and ruffled his hair. Lenalee just smiled at him, not replying in words. She lifted her hand and tidied her hair slightly.

"Allen-kun… Don't ever do that again." She said, with worry and concern lacing her words.

Allen laughed slightly, "Okay, I won't risk my life like that next time." She relaxed her shoulders, as she sighed in relief, Allen continued, "But I'm sorry," She tensed up once more, "Sorry if I can't bear to see you get hurt." Allen smiled sweetly, and Lenalee didn't know how to reply. To be happy, or angry, or scared?

I could tell from their actions, they both liked each other a lot. The way he looked at her wasn't similar to the other males, whose eyes shot at her body, to her legs, then up to her face when she speaks. He looks deep into her eyes, into her soul, and vice versa.

But…

No buts! There is only one exception I can make for Lenalee: Allen Walker. If he lets her down… He'll receive what he deserves, I grinned.

Maybe next time, I shouldn't just believe what I hear, I've got to see it for myself.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! STUPID SUPERVISOR! DON'T DISTURB MY PATIENTS!" The infirmary nurse screamed at top-pitch, sending Allen and Lenalee into a fray of panic.

Especially Allen.

I tried to add in a little humour, tell me what you all think. Review, yea! . Anyway.. My birthday's coming soon D

You can ask me what present I want. XD hint hint
