The early morning air inside the room was freezing and Allen woke up with a sneeze. He groaned at the thought of catching his already caught cold at such a time. Allen pulled his leg back underneath the blanket and tried to forget that it had been dangling off of the couch and above a sleeping Kanda. He noted that this would have to be the worst decision his sleeping body has ever made, he could have lost the limb at any given moment if the samurai had woken before him. Allen rolled to his side and buried his face into the worn cushions of the red couch. Shion mumbled in his sleep and Allen heard the blankets rustle as Nezumi pulled his close. Both exorcists slept poorly, Kanda awake most of the night trying to get comfortable on the cold floor. The other two probably slept like that every night, in each others arms, and Allen couldn't help feel a tad bit jealous. Allen sat up and frowned trying to shake the thoughts from his mind. Now, according to Allen, was not the time to be thinking about how he needed to 'be with someone'. Now was the time to panic about Neah trying to take over his body and become the new earl.
"Moyashi...stop moving around so much, that couch squeaks so much." Kanda stated from the floor. Allen gasped slightly at the sudden noise then sighed when he realized it was only the moody exorcist.
"Sorry, Kanda." Allen replied, not even noticing he was apologizing to him.
"If there isn't a time difference of sorts, someone at the order should be up, try seeing if Timcanpy or that gay little earing of yours can get a signal." Kanda said, standing and stretching. Allen quickly snatched the blankets Kanda had been using and draped them over himself.
"Well I don't know where Tim is so I'll use my 'gay little earing' as you like to call it." Allen replied, grabbing his coat from the floor and retrieving the earring he'd stuck inside the pocket before going to sleep. Allen clipped it to his ear and clicked it on, letting it search for a signal for more han ten minutes. It buzzed and clicked, at each one Allen's frown deepened. The earring buzzed loudly and shocked Allen in the ear, and he immediately yanked it off and threw it to the floor where it sparked until it died.
"What the fuck?!" Allen yelled, holding his reddened ear.
"Are you two always this loud in the morning?" Nezumi asked annoyed, swinging his legs over the side of the bed, yawning.
"Sorry! We were just trying to contact the order and, well, we can't." Allen explained, his voice worried as he tried to think of a way out of this hell hole that was once Japan.
"How did you even get here in the first place?" Nezumi asked, retying his shoulder length hair, stiffling a yawn.
"We can't tell you that." Kanda stated as Allen was about to explain further.
"Nezumi! Why are you guys being so loud?" Shion called from underneath the covers that were brought up to his nose, his eyes peeked out from beneath a woolen blanket.
"Shion, get out of bed will you?"
"Yes, Nezumi." Shion responded, sitting up in bed like an obediant child. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and pulled one of the thinner blankets around his shoulders. Shion shoved his feet lazily into worn slippers and shuffled over to Nezumi's side. Nezumi rolled his eyes at Shion and sighed.
"So you can't contact your head quarters or who ever?" Nezumi asked.
"I can't get through to anyone. The thing won't even work. I don't want to try with Timcanpy, if anything happened to him I don't know what I'd do." Allen replied petting Timcanpy affectionately.
"They can stay here with us, right Nezumi? At least until they can get through to someone on the other end and get help." Shion suggested and Nezumi glared at him. Shion looked up at him with a pout that Shion knew would sway Nezumi's answer.
"I'll give you a week tops." Nezumi replied, still frowning at Shion who smiled and hugged him. Allen thanked them both and thus began the attempt to return to their time, dimension. Where ever they were. Allen just wanted to get home.
