Eh guys, this isn't too good, I couldn't really formulate my ideas properly and ended up writing something else from what I planned. So.. Hope you liked it.
May seem repetitive, Oh well.
It all happened too quickly, just a few days ago, the funeral had taken place, the funeral for him. Allen Walker, 'Destroyer of Time', the one and only 'Allen Walker'. I sat up on my bed, it's the fourth day, another frigid day. Since he had gone, the whole order was in disorder, chaos. Everyone walks past each other with a simple smile, it was complete silence.
I took of my clothes and changed into my exorcist uniform. Looking at the mirror, I recalled how Allen-kun looked in his uniform. So manly, handsome... I felt the tears gather and well up in my eyes. As I shut my eyes, the tears overflowed from my eyes and it flowed down my cheeks, to my chin. I haven't felt tears for so long. Allen-kun... The name resounded in my mind, as I shrugged my mind off him. Ahhh... The memories refused to be pushed away, and penetrated my defences.
"Lenalee, this is for you. Happy Birthday." Allen-kun smiled sweetly as he stretched out his arms, a small wrapped gift lied in his hands, one tip of the glove was tainted red. He blushed slightly as our hands brushed each others, the faint contact giving both of us a sense of unbelievable ease and enjoyment. The gift was well-wrapped, I wonder what it was. I looked up at Allen-kun, who was sweating nervously.
"Do I open it now?" I asked, it was sometimes rude to open presents in front of the person who gave it. Allen-kun blushed before waving his arms frantically, silently pleading me to open it. I giggled softly as I began to untie the blue ribbon. Just then, a loud noise sounded as Lavi came crashing into the nervous Allen-kun, who was staring at me open the present the whole time.
"So, sneaky aren't you, Allen!" Lavi grinned, while rubbing Allen-kun's head all the while. Allen-kun flushed red, before looking away at a different direction. "Lenalee! Allen went out the whole day yesterday just to buy that! I heard he even got caught in the rain and used his coat to cover it!" Lavi chuckled heartily, patting Allen-kun hard on the back.
Allen-kun avoided my gaze as I could see him trembling, I quickly finished unwrapping the gift, while Lavi's unnerving gaze and his rhythmic tapping of his feet makes it so awkward. The gift was, a wooden block, with carvings on it.
Allen Walker and Lenalee Lee,
Souls bound together.
I hid my face as I blushed. Allen-kun's so sweet to make this for me! After maintaining my composure, I looked up, only to find Lavi and Allen-kun staring at me with eyes of concern, "Ermm.." Allen stuttered, "D-do you like it?" He ruffled his hair and smiled anxiously, awaiting my reply.
"He carved it himself." Lavi whispered in my ears secretly, "And he cut his finger, stupid, right?"
I thought about it for a while, "Thanks Allen-kun, I like it a lot!" I cried, overwhelmed with happiness, I rushed towards him and pulled him into a tight hug. All he did was stand there and blush, and remained that way for a few minutes after I left. Allen-kun's so cute!
Another teardrop flowed from my eyes, I miss him so much...
"Lenalee, I really like you." Allen-kun looked into my eyes, the gentle smile ever-present on his face. "You don't have to reply me now," He shifted slightly, "I'll go defeat the Earl for you, and when I get back, maybe you can reply me then." Allen-kun grinned happily, before standing up and taking his leave.
I should've answered him there and then. I really liked Allen-kun ever since he came to the order. He's so innocent, cute and brave. Caring, and protective, self-sacrificial, and thinks about other's first. I felt the tears welling up now, as I let the tears flow freely down my face, damping my uniform. Who cares about that now.
Allen-kun's always been the best to me. When Lavi teased me, he would stand up against him for me
"Haha! Lenalee doesn't know anything about history!" Lavi mocked me, just because I didn't know what book he was reading! Hmmph! I just couldn't stand that Lavi! Just because I don't know anything about history doesn't mean I'm stupid!
"Don't make fun of Lenalee!" Allen-kun said harshly, frowning fiercely and glared at Lavi. I haven't seen Allen-kun like that unless he's fighting.
Lavi cowered in fear as the intimidating Allen-kun looked towards me kindly and smiled sweetly, "Just ignore that rabbit." He said, before holding my hand and pulled me off to read more books. I smiled happily before giving Lavi a huge grin, he's probably too shaken to make fun of me next time! Stupid rabbit!
I chuckled at the memory, if only Allen-kun was still here. The tears paused for a while, before continuing it's flow. Just then, the door shook slightly as I heard a light knock, "Coming!" I cried, before rubbing the tears away and went to open the door.
Lavi stood there, along with Kanda beside him. Lavi smiled softly, "Hey, would you like to come and..." He shifted slightly, "Cool down a little?"
I immediately nodded, this was exactly what I needed. "Give me a second." I said, before rushing over to get my coat, before looking back once more at the ring that stood bravely on the table, outstanding. I took it too, and wore it on my fourth finger. I love Allen-kun.
I went back to the door, Lavi and Kanda didn't seem so shocked to see the ring, Lavi just smiled and bobbed his head in personal apprehension. We walked side by side as the three of us headed towards the cafeteria.
"I miss him so much." Lavi said, his head bent low, as his hands hid inside his pocket, afraid to show themselves. I nodded silently, while Kanda continued walking. "I remember everything.." Lavi said, his voice breaking as he tried to control his emotions.
"I can't forget anything!" I cried out, as I held my left hand in front of myself and looked into the ring, Allen-kun..
"I really miss that moyashi too..." Kanda said, to my surprise. I saw a tear flow down his cheeks, for the first time.
Everyone we saw had red rings around their eyes from the crying, everyone was as bothered as that, everyone missed him.
We entered the cafeteria, Jerry hollered me over, while I signalled to Lavi and Kanda to go take a seat first. I walked over towards Jerry, who had tears flowing out from his shades, "Lenalee, Allen," he sobbed, "H-he.. h-he wanted to make this for you." He finished, before walking over to the fridge, and taking out a small cake, with chocolate frostings and a card beside it.
I held up the card and read it silently.
Dear Lenalee, if you have this card, it probably means I'm... Okay, it feels weird to write this, but I'm probably dead.
However, Lenalee, please don't worry about me. Master once told me, "The dead's a distraction to the living. Concentrate on life, live through the dead. Live for the dead."
I have no idea why I suddenly feel like telling you this, but...
I love you, Lenalee, and I promise, to protect you, forever and ever. No matter where I am.
Love, the only Allen.
I cried out freely, before bowing deeply to Jerry-san, and I brought the cake over to Kanda and Lavi. I read them the message from the small card. Lavi cried out happily, "That's just like Allen!" Before sighing deeply.
I nodded softly, what an awkward atmosphere. The whole cafeteria was crowded, yet there was no noise.
"I agree with General Cross." Kanda suddenly said, startling Lavi and I, "He's right. The dead's a burden to the living."
I frowned, "How can you say that?" I choked slightly.
"How can you say that about Allen-kun!" I shouted, this was no way to treat Allen-kun! Even if... even if he's gone!
Kanda stared at me icily, "It's alright if you dream for the dead to ressurect, I know not to be distracted. The living should concentrate on life." Kanda smirked.
I growled harshly, "Allen-kun will be back to protect me, wherever, whenever. " I closed my eyes, "He said so himself. Someone like Allen-kun,"
"Can never be a distraction!" I said, no one should be looking down on Allen-kun like that! Damn that Kanda!
Lavi just looked at the both of us in confusion, "Eh.. We shouldn't really be argu-"
"SHUT UP, LAVI!" Kanda and I shouted at the same time, while Lavi just sighed before deciding not to say anything.
"If you got the guts, let's see how he protects you from me." Kanda smirked, drawing out his fist. "I'll never lose to a moyashi."
Allen-kun dashed over and stood in front of me, facing the Akuma, he panted heavily, before looking back at me and smiling courageously, "I'll protect you."
And he defeated the Akuma.
"Allen-kun..."
"I'll protect you," he grinned, while the sword protruded from his stomach, before he lashed out his claw and slashed the Akuma's face into two. Then he fell down unconsciously, smiling amidst his wounds.
"He will never..."
"I'll protect you, Lenalee."
"Ever..."
"Millenium Earl!!" Allen howled, before rushing over towards the Earl, and fought him desperately. Losing in the battle against Allen-kun, the Earl shot a huge ball of energy, cackling loudly in the air. Allen-kun looked over at me, as I tried to lift myself off the ground, to no avail. It was over, I was going to die. I shut my eyes in cruel anticipation before realising nothing was coming. Allen-kun took the blow, his stomach suffered major burns while he panted heavily, now the Earl had the upper hand.
"Allen-kun!!" I screamed, was he alright?! What if that injured him too much?!
He looked back at me with gentle eyes, "I'm fine, Lenalee. I'll protect you no matter what."
"Break a promise!"
Kanda pulled back his arm, fist clenched tightly, a small grin escaped his lips as he gave his usual 'Che'. If he really hit me, what would happen? Would it hurt? Where's he going to hit me?
Somehow, the courage from before left me, I felt frail and weak. Would Allen-kun really come and save me? I shrugged off those thoughts, Allen-kun will definitely come. I saw the fist approaching, as I bit my teeth tightly together, awaiting the pain. Kanda was smirking evilly, as if he's always wanted to punch me.
"Don't touch her." A familiar voice boomed throughout the cafeteria, as a silver mask swirled in the air in front of me. Kanda glared icily, Allen-kun protected me! I cried out in joy, hoping Allen-kun was back.
We could share more memories together, and we could go to the nearby park once again, and we could sit on the bench, watching the butterflies, and Allen-kun will tell me, "You're more beautiful than the butterfly, Lenalee." And smile his trademark smile.
Most of all, I'll be able to give him an answer.
My hopes were shattered, as the mask disappeared once again, not leaving behind a single trace of evidence he had ever been there. Yet, everyone in the cafeteria heard the voice and recognized it, it was his voice. The voice of Allen Walker, first and last of the elite exorcists. The only one that could ever reach that place...
The looks on everyone's faces made me feel damp and cold, all the eyes were filled with sorrow, as they recalled Allen Walker. "Kanda, you lose." I said, glaring at him. "Allen-kun can never be a distraction from life."
"Whatever." Kanda said, before standing up and walking away silently, in defeat. Lavi still sat there like a rabbit, unable to do anything.
"I guess he was really serious about it, huh." Lavi said, smiling slightly. "I knew it since I first saw him. He's always thinking about you, concentrating on making you happy."
"Say no more, Lavi. I know, I know." I sighed, I missed him. "But he's still concentrating on protecting me now, and he wants me to be happy."
"My life's center is Allen-kun, but it's too late..." Lavi looked up with concern. "It's too late to concentrate on him now, when he's gone."
Lavi put a hand on my shoulder, before smiling heartily and taking his leave. Ahh.. I miss his smile...
Wait, am I not concentrating on him now? All this time, I've been thinking about Allen-kun. Maybe... I still can concentrate on Allen-kun, and promise him, we'll be together in heaven. Just then, I thought about Kanda, how distressed he must be that Allen-kun blocked his punch.
I giggled to myself, before muttering, "Now, who's distracting me from what I'm concentrating on?" I stood up walked back to my room.
Eh, sorry guys. I know the ending sucked. I didn't really know how to end it. Oh well. I couldn't bear to make Allen die, though :( Waaaa
Suzuka's good, so is Kimi no Iru Machi. :D
