A/N: Yay, fluff! (This is the second part of the flashback)This was inspired by trying to detangle a wig because my Kanda apparently fails at storing his hair correctly.

It had been more than a month since the incident. After that, Kanda and Allen had only seen each other in passing, but they were about to be forcibly thrown together.

It was supposed to be a quick in and out mission, and there really was no way they could protest. At that point Kanda was about eighty percent sure that it had only been his imagination. Allen on the other hand knew it was real, and was trying to pretend that the rejection hadn't hurt him. Plus, Komui was giving them that infuriating smile that meant he was up to something.

The relatively short train ride seemed to stretch on forever. Kanda was trying not to stare at the Moyashi and failing, pissing himself off in the process. Allen was trying to pretend that he didn't exist. He didn't think he could take Kanda yelling at him, not when he was already so close to tears. (If they hadn't been stuck together it would've been different. He would've fought right back and then hid in his room.) There wasn't even a finder with them to help ease the tension.

They were attacked in the forest, by way more akuma then they had been expecting. Together Allen and Kanda had managed to destroy all twelve of them, but they got pretty roughed up in the process. Kanda (who had been watching Allen's back) was the one with actual injuries (Moyashi got off with some superficial scratches) but those were easily taken care of.

In the end, it was Kanda's hair that suffered the most damage. It was badly tangled from his fall into the underbrush and there were little burrs and twigs caught up in the once fine tresses. Though he had never considered himself vain, the samurai couldn't help but want to fix it.

Allen moved to help, carefully picking burrs out of a section that Kanda couldn't see. A second later he froze, realizing his mistake, Kanda merely snarled at him to hurry up.

It was quite an awkward situation to be in.

Allen gingerly ran his hands through Kanda's long silky hair, trying not to pull. He'd never been this close to the other before without one of them being seriously injured, well aside from… he tried not to think about it.

Kanda turned to glare at him, Allen jumped and stammered an apology getting back to the task at hand.

The Moyashi was afraid of him, that was all Kanda needed to know to be sure that his "daydream" had been all too real. It had been the drugs fault! ... But if he was being honest with himself he knew that he hadn't tried to fight it, so in a way he was responsible.

Dammit.

Kanda cleared his throat. Allen paused warily.

"Moyashi, I won't do it again."

It was as close to an apology as he could manage.

Allen sighed, "You won't?"

That was one hell of a weird response so Kanda turned to look at him. He didn't know why but he could help but add, "Not unless you want me to."

Allen blushed.

At the time Kanda had pretended not to notice but he pounced later, making the train ride back to headquarters much more interesting.

For awhile Allen hadn't known quite what they were. It was true that Kanda would sit across from him (mostly silently) during mealtimes and that when they were in the same place they ended up in bed together more often than not.

Still, it wasn't like Kanda was the romantic type and growing up with Cross had taught Allen that sex and love rarely had anything to do with each other.

Allen was heading towards the cafeteria when he saw Kanda and Lenalee walking together. He tried to pretend that he wasn't jealous, that he didn't care that Kanda didn't have issues with talking to her. He felt gross, Lenalee had never done anything to him but he was wishing terrible things on her.

He ran to catch up with them.

Allen thought he had schooled his face to his normal cheerful expression, but there was still something in his eyes.

Lenalee looked at him concerned. "Allen what's wrong?"

"Um…" his eyes darted between the two of them, lingering longer on Kanda, "It's nothing I'm just hungry." He clutched his stomach for added effect.

Kanda wasn't fooled. He rolled his eyes and uncrossed his arms.

The Moyashi looked at him inquisitively.

"Hurry up before I change my mind."

Allen's face brightened, he ran over and buried his face in Kanda's chest, blushing.

The samurai wrapped one arm around the boy's back and patted his head awkwardly while Lenalee cooed.

"Are you guys dating?"

He nodded.

"Awwwwww!" She beamed at them.

Kanda glared at her.

Allen peaked up at him, "Um, can we get food now?"

A/N: I'll be doing more flashbacks later, or I'm at least planning on it.
