Happy Birthday to dearest Mizu1411, i know its a little too late. :x
The two exorcists with plasters on their noses had their lunch in silence.
It was driving the Finder crazy.
"Uhh…Allen sama…Kanda sama…can I do anything for you?" the Finder tried to break the silence.
"No need…thank you," Allen smiled and resumed eating.
The couple had been that way since the Finder came back after asking the villagers for some clues about the innocence.
He sighed and excused himself as he walked out of the restaurant to find more clues, deciding that the exorcists were weird people indeed.
Allen was eating his food quietly, which was rare as he usually ate with much gusto.
He was having troubles on his mind…mainly about Kanda.
What did he feel about him? He wasn't sure now…he used to hate him…
Well…did he hate him now? Hmmm…not really…
Then…did he like him…? …Maybe…
He had found out about how Kanda was a cat lover and how he wasn't really that bad at all…maybe he do like Kanda…
But what about the wild beating of his heart when he looked into his eyes?
He didn't know what caused it yet…
Love? Allen choked on his food. No…maybe not there yet…but he was quite sure that he liked Kanda now…althought he wasn't sure if it was good or bad.
Kanda slurped on his soba glancing at Allen every now and then.
'Adorable' Kanda smacked himself mentally.
'Cute' Kanda wanted to check if he had mental illnesses.
But those were the words that came to him whenever he saw the cute, adorable moyashi right in front of him eating away.
Kanda admitted it…he knew he liked the moyashi…but then his thoughts wondered on… He heard that when you fell in love with someone our heart would beat faster when you saw the person, you will be drawn to the person and so on…so…did he love Allen Walker…?
Maybe…just maybe….but did Allen even like him?
Allen would probably laugh if he ever told Allen he loved or even liked him…
He looked away and found himself looking at a cat.
'Why not give it a try?'
Kanda quickly shut that thought out, there was no way he would do that.
'Are you afraid Yuu Kanda?'
Kanda could swear he was going mental hearing voices in his head…
'Why are you turning into a coward?'
Kanda sighed…and wondered if he should tell Allen…or if it would be fine to remain the relationship as it was.
'This might be the only chance you can get alone with him…'
Kanda knew the voice was right… after this mission…it might be a while before they went on another mission together…
He decided it wouldn't hurt to give it a try…
"Allen…" Kanda paused as Allen looked up from his food, "Do…do you like me?"
Allen's eyes widened…
Kanda regretted asking almost immediately, "Never mind…forget about that that…now hurry up and-"
"I do…" Allen said, his voice nearing a whisper.
"Wha…?" Kanda was shocked that he actually got a reply…and it wasn't always that he got shocked.
"What about you Kanda…" Allen looked up at Kanda, determined to make things clear today, right now.
"Do you like me?"
Kanda looked into those gray depths again. He felt excited, he felt nervous, he felt like running down the street without his clothes on, he felt happy…
"Yes, I do…"
Laughter, which seemed to come from a little girl, was heard as Allen spun around.
The girl, which had begged from Allen they had met near the inn, was sitting on a table beside them.
She was sitting at the place where the cat had been…the same cat that ate Timcanpy…Kanda realized.
And with the two exorcists staring at her, she smiled back and glowed a bright green, turning into a form of a cat.
"Che, where did she go moyashi?" Kanda asked as they looked around for the cat.
"There!" Allen pointed at the cat, which had darted swiftly around the corner into a rice field.
"Where is it now?" Kanda cried in exasperation. He should have known the innocence was the cat…and how he was hearing weird voices in his head.
"Eh…Kanda…I think we have another problem…"Allen tapped Kanda's shoulder as Kanda spun around.
There was a swarm of wasps flying towards them.
Kanda took out Mugen and began swinging it towards the hornets, the hornets seem to back away a little.
"You just made them angry Kanda…" Allen stated as the hornets came rushing towards them.
"Che…"Kanda cursed as he grabbed Allen's hand and began to run, he had enough of animals.
Unfortunately, Allen's short legs chose the wrong time to trip over.
"Go, Kanda, hurry up," Allen urged Kanda to run, "I'll be right behind- Eh?"
Allen found himself hoisted upon Kanda's shoulder as they started running again.
"Che, I don't want to spend more time taking care of you after you get stung by them," Kanda explained to Allen as he ran onwards.
"Oh…" Allen fought down a blush as he tried to focus on the current situation, "Um…Kanda, I think they are closing in…"
"Hnn…"
Even without Allen's warning, Kanda could roughly estimate how close the wasps were to them having felt one of them sting him from behind.
"Kanda! In the rice field water!" Allen cried as he winced having gotten sting by one of the hornets.
Kanda hesitated as he plunged into the murky water and lay as still as he could.
It was lucky for them that the water was deep enough to cover both of them.
The buzzing of the wasps gradually died down as Allen and Kanda lay still in the water for another moment.
Allen raised his head out of the water, there were no signs of any hornets any more.
He sighed in relief.
It was already near evening as the two exorcists clambered out of the murky water and stumbled out into of the field.
"Moyashi…"Kanda squeezed the water out of his sleeves.
"What?" Allen asked with exhaustion clearly shown in his voice.
"Your neck is becoming swollen…" Kanda leant forward to look at Allen's neck.
"I- I got sting there I guess…" Allen had to fight another blush down again as he felt Kanda breathe against his neck.
"Hnn…let's get back…you sure are a moyashi to get yourself stung." Kanda allowed himself to grin a little as Allen began shouting back how his name was Allen and all.
He decided it was one of the things he liked about him.
Kanda walked towards Allen with a medicine kind of cream.
"Uhh…what's that Kanda?" Allen asked as he pointed towards the cream.
"Its for bee stings…I got it from the Finder…" Kanda said as he sat down behind Allen.
"Oh…where is he anyway?" Allen asked.
"He went to get us some dinner of course…you can't survive a day without food…" Kanda grinned again as Allen pouted.
He was starting to notice every one of his actions, Allen noticed as he fought down another blush. What was up with him? Blushing every time he thought about HIM.
"Oi, Moyashi, take off your clothes,"
Allen blushed a bright red as he banged his head against the floor.
"C-che, I mean take off your clothes so I can treat your neck you moyashi…I can't do that with your wet clothes on…and stop blushing!" Kanda who noticed what his words had meant previously was also blushing a tomato red.
"O-okay…" Allen tried to remain calm as he slipped his exorcist coat off and take off his shirt.
Kanda composed himself and walked towards Allen and pulled the sting out.
He felt Allen tensed as he did that and he proceed to applying the cream.
He noticed how fair his skin was, and how soft it was.
Allen, feeling nervous about the current situation he was in, decided to break the silence.
"K-kanda…didn't you get stung too?
"Hnn…?" Kanda asked as if he had just snapped out of a daze.
"The hornets were so close to us…you must have been stung once at least…"
Kanda froze, "So what if I had been stung?"
"Well, since you helped me with mine, I'll help you with yours," Allen stated bluntly as he put on his clothes again, "I don't want to owe you anything."
"…I can do it myself…"
Allen frowned, "It's not like you have anything to hide right? You took off your clothes to treat your injuries last time too…"
"I just don't want to this time okay?"
"Are you hiding something?"
"Che, moyashi you sure are like a nanny at times."
"Just let me see it won't you…" Allen was visibly upset.
Kanda gave in, "Fine….but you musn't laugh…"
"Umm…okay…" Allen wondered why getting stung would make him laugh in the first place.
"Okay…" Kanda muttered under his breath, "the hornet stung me on my butt…"
Allen froze.
Kanda turned red in the face.
Allen used a pillow to muffle his laughter while Kanda clenched his fist.
Mugen was pointed directly at Allen now, "If you tell anyone…ANYONE. About this, I'll skewer you alive…" Allen choked back on his laughter and nodded.
Kanda slumped to the ground and shot up again just as his bottom touched the floor, he cursed the damn hornet and its sting.
"Take off your pants then Kanda…" Allen said as he picked up the cream.
"What?" Kanda looked in disbelief.
"You don't have eyes at the back of your head to look at the butt do you? So, I help you with it, and then I won't owe you anything either," Allen answered as he fought a blush down and wondered why he wanted to help Kanda in the first place.
"F-fine…" Kanda had all sorts of notions running through his mind as he tried to shut them out.
But he really felt glad that the moyashi actually wanted to help him…it gave him a sort of light feeling.
Allen tried to be as gentle as possible and focused on the task as he pulled the sting out of Kanda's butt.
However, both exorcists couldn't help but blush a deep red as Allen applied the cream onto Kanda's bottom.
A girl's laughter was heard in a distant.
She seemed to be fading away as though her existence was not really stable.
She knew her time was running out.
Okay...my one-shot has officially become a four-shot (?).
