Chapter 15 - What the?
Darkness surrounded me...my vision was useless...
"Where am I?" My voice echoed.
"Allen." I turned to where that voice came from.
"Who-" Another sound came from the opposite direction.
"Allen." A gruff one spoke.
"Where-"
"WHY DID YOU MAKE ME AN AKUMA!" They roared.
"Ma-!" Something pierced my forehead on the left side, I screamed in agony as it scarred a pentagon in that locatinon, trailed down across my eye, curving at my cheeckbone, then outlined the left my face. My voice was much higher in pitch than I last remembered.
"I CURSE YOU ALLEN!"
"No wait! Mana!" Suddenly, my scaley, blood-red arm moved all by itself, changing into a silver claw. "Stop!" I ordered my arm, which didn't respond. "That's Mana! Nooooooo!"
"Allen..." Mana was no longer shouting, he had his usual caring tone once more. "...I love you..."
"MAAANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I went from yelling to screeching as my arm intinctively attacked, and i knew it was too late as I felt it go downwards.
Mana, was dead.
This horrible nightmare of my past again...
I can't let it go...
It will always stay there...
Within me...
*sob*
Allen arose from his lumber groggily, with what he had just witnessed so many times still fresh in his thoughts.
"Damn...*sniff*" Tears streamed from his silver eyes. "...I can't keep crying like this...Mana would think that I've stopped walking...he would hate it more because it's involved him..." His head was embedded between his drawn up knees that he had been embracing with trembling boney arms.
*click*
His head snapped round towards his window.
"Oh bugger, you spotted me..." There's something up with him...another nightmare? Lavi thought as he saw silver streaming from his eyes, disguising his thoughts with a cleverly placed smirk.
"Lavi?" He immedeatly ran to his window and let his boyfriend inside. He was carrying a bag with him, making Allen almost curious what was inside, but his partner's safety came his first priority. "What are you doing?"
"Coming to see you, but of course you're house is locked." His hand slipped, while his other took a strong hold. "Wah!"
"Lavi! Grab my hand!" Allen reached out to him. A huge hand grasped his own. Sensing his warmth, he, with all his might, pulled Lavi through his window.
*One rescue later*
"Eheheh..." Lavi laughed, embrassed, rubbing the back of his head. "I was gonna sneak in 'till you woke up as a surprise."
Erm...Lavi? That's illegal..."
"I wouldn't mind breaking the law if it's for you."
*smack* Lavi felt a cold force to his face.
"Please stop using cleche lines ," (Lol, Lavi just got bitch-slapped by Allen XD) "and also, that means I wouldn't see you for longer if you were locked up." Allen took advantage because Lavi's head was low and bumped his fist on his firery red hair on each word. "."
"Owww, Allen..." He whined, rubbing his head. "Considering the size or you arms, that actually hurt alot..."
"Huh?" Lavi felt an evil aura surrounding Allen.
"N-never mind." He cowered and stood up straight again, towering the white-haired one. Looking away from him, Allen looked at the time.
"Wow, it's quite early." Lavi turned his head in the same direction to Allen's clock.
"Yeah, guess it is."
"...Sooooooooooooo..."
"Yeah?"
"Is everything sorted for tonight since you've come here?"
"Yep!" Lavi reassured. "I won't tell you what's happening, but don't forget, this is Panda we're on about, so he isn't asking for much but that's fine, I'm sure people will appreciate that."
"Alright then." Allen's nervous gaze darted about the room, trying to avoide Lavi's eye.(Somehow in this case, 12, a cookie for who gets it.)
"Sooooooo...what to do before tonight I wonder?"
"Usual?"
"Well, there's just one thing we've forgotten..."
"What's that?" Lavi's mouth twisted upwards into a grin Allen was very familiar with. Somehow, he wished he hadn't asked.
"This." Without warning, Lavi got Allen by his wrist, then pulled him closer, their lips in felt the cheeks of his lover burn with heat as he blushed. As they parted Allen made no comment. "If it's alright with you, could we try and do this more often?" Allen's respone was a simple nod and a stutter.
"Y-yeah."
"Thanks Allen." Lavi pulled Allen into a hug. Allen didn't mind, he loved it when he was shown affection, epecally by Lavi, but never, not once, let it go to his head, or even thought about bragging about it. He only embraced himself in the sensation, letting his insincts take over which were demanding that he stayed in the red-head's heat. Allen thought that he should try to do something to repay his affection...but what exactly? He looked at anything he could of missed, but only came with out one conclusion.
He had never kissed Lavi.
Well, except that one time when they were in the gym and whenn they first went out, Allen had never done that again, he had always let Lavi take the first move, which, to Allen, didn't seem fair. Lavi...would you be suspicious if I did something for a change?
"Allen?"
"Eh?"
"Oh good you're still here."
"Well, it's not like I went somewhere." Allen smirked at his clever comment.
"Ha ha well done there smarty pants."
"So...well...for a change, instead of Mario Kart, have you got something else in mind?"
"Dunno really."
"'cause I have Super Mario Bros."
"Do you have every single Mario game?"
"Yes, yes I do." (If you don't know where that reference came from, I'll wonder...)
"Well, I don't see why not, since we're standing around doing nothing."
"We're also lucky Master isn't home."
"I suppose we are lucky." As they turned to the door Allen's previous question returned.
"Oh yeah!"
"'Oh yeah!' What?"
"What's in the bag?" Allen pointed to what Lavi was holding.
"Oh this?" Lavi held it up. "It's just a couple of things for tonight."
"Okay then." That said, they decended downstairs, again arriving in Allen's plain living room, which, on normal circumstances, would be the first thing one saw as they entered Allen's house, but because a certain rabbit decided to clamber through Allen's bedroom window, that proved not to be the case.
"I'll set it up this time, you get the controllers." As asked, Allen got two remotesm, handing Lavi the first player. As soon as the Nintendo Wii was set up, they, in unision, jumped onto their favourite sofa, filled with memories of there times together. They started a new game. Since Lavi had first controller he played as Mario, while Allen played as Luigi (for reasons concerning their height difference). *Insert Mario theme*They started, as most games would, at the very first level and found out two very intresting things:
1) Allen was very good at playing Super Mario Bros.
2) Lavi was terrible at playing Super Mario Bros.
A depressing aura surrounded said Rabbit, his head drooping gloomily.
"I never though that...I'd be worst than you at this game." Allen only chuckled evily with an darkly innocent smile. He acted sympathy, but inside, he was only adding to his pleasures, roaring in laughter.
"There, there, Lavi." He patted Lavi's red, hair that went in all directions. Mission complete at beating Lavi at something. Pushing those thoughts to one side, Allen noticed how soft Lavi's hair was as this was the first time he'd was actually able to reach his head (heh, lol, poor Allen for your shortness). His heart expanded in an uneven rhythm, and as it grew larger with each beat, its edges pounded against the inside of his skin on his chest.
"Do you have something for my hair?" With that, Allen's hand quickly retreated.
"W-well..." He didn't want to say this but since they were going out... "I like your hair, it's really soft..." Thin snakes slithered swiftly around his waist. "Wh-"
"Thanks Allen. That's the first time you've said something about me." Their faces were almost too close. "It's usually me who says everything about you." His lips pecked Allen's forehead.
"Oh look, it's loaded." Returning to their game before Lavi suspected something, they worked perfectly as a team despite Lavi constantly falling off ledges.
"Whoops," He would say. "I forgot to jump."
"It helps when you remember to."
"Indeed it does."
Surprisingly, they managed to reach World 3 in under an hour without too many deaths, and Allen could've sworn that Lavi was budging closer to him with each passing level...until Lavi was towering over him. Without warning, Allen felt himself leave the sofa. He squirmed has a rose higher, then landed heavily between Lavi's legs, with said red-head's chin resting in his snow-white hair. "La-" Turning his head, he met Lavi's eye, a little bit too close for comfort, immedeatly making blood rush to his face. He could feel Lavi's heat emitting from him on the outsides of his legs and all up his back, provoking him to shiver pleasently as he escaped from coldness.
"Sorry Allen, I didn't know you weren't fond of being picked up."
"No it's-it's alright."
"Then...is this okay?" Allen sensed Lavi's warmth slide up his torso. A white turf nodded in agreement. Higher his boney fingers went, revealing Allen's pale skin that would of been hidden by his shirt. He flinched at the new-found heat. His hand had crawled so far up Allen's shirt, that his fingers were able to fiddle on Allen's chin, twisting his neck so that Allen would face Lavi. A kiss! He shut his eyes and waited for the touch of soft lips to meet his own.
He waited...
and waited...
but it never came.
Confused, he opened his eyes to find he was still in facing Lavi.
"Lavi?"
"I...know this is a selfish thing to say but..." His eye shut for a brief second. "I've always wanted all of you to myself and I'm sure on that. But what I'm not sure is, what do you think of me?"
That was one thing Allen wasn't expecting.
How can he say that? After everything we've done together? Accidently staying at each others overnight because we wore ourselves out, sleeping in the same bed, kssing, staying with each other for more than a day. There's just no way! He turned to that his whole body was opposite Lavi's.
"Wh-what are you saying?" Allen, who was half-mad half-worried, grabbed the collar of Lavi's shirt to yell straight in his face. "I've never complained about anything at all about us! So what makes you think that I don't feel the same way back?"
"It's just that-"
"If I didn't would I do this?" He never did let Lavi finished his sentence. Forcefully, but relaxing, Allen pressed his lips to Lavi's slightly parted ones, pouring all his emotions with one action that seems simple, but difficult for one to bring themselves to accomplish. Surprised at first, now relaxed, said rabbit returned Allen's kiss as 'thanks' for returning his feelings, glad that all his doubts were all washed away by the one he loved: Allen Walker.
He was so into the moment that he had almost forgot his plans for tonight.
"Ummm, Allen? What time is it?"
"Oh sorry." He retreived his phone from his back pocket. "About half 6."
"The party starts at 7."
"Oh, okay, then you wanna get ready for it then."
"If you wouldn't mind." Allen got off Lavi and he let said red-head grab his things. He just caught a glance what was inside: clothes.
"You brought your outfit with you?"
"Well, I wanted you to be the first to see what I was wearing."
"Then I guess all I can do is let you change here and I'll show you mine."
"Thanks." And with that note, he acended upstairs to change. He saved their game and turned off the Wii.
Allen was all excited. He couldn't wait to see Lavi's outfit. He was thinking of all things he would hope to see Lavi wearing, them in mind, he thought of how most of them were tight clothing (;D). He glued his eyes to the bottom of the stairs, so he could see Lavi as soon as he came downstairs. What'll be?
*Thud*
He's coming down now.
*Thud* *Thud* Thud*
So close...
*Thud* "I'm back!" Allen was gobsmacked, his jaw fell to the floor.
This was exactly what he was hoping for: Tight skinny jeans, laced trainers, and a red T-Shirt saying 'Run Red Rabbit' in large white writing that just ended at his lether belt. "Allen?"
"Yeah?"
"You're staring."
"Wah!" He paniced like a headless chicken.
"Calm down. it's your turn to change now."
"'Kay." As he went upstairs Lavi thought: So cute.
Almost instantly he returned that was pretty quick. But just like Allen, he had the same reaction.
"Oh. My. God."
"Huh?" Allen wore a gray T-Shirt along with the same tightness in his light black jeans that ended at the top of his purely black trainers, then finished with a gray cardigan, making the coulour go from white at the top (his hair), to black at the bottom.
"That," he pointed "suits you."
"While I was upstairs, I found Tim." Said Golem flew behind him. "I wondered where he was." He turned back to Lavi. "Shall we go?"
"Y-yeah." he managed to snap out of it. "Let's go." Locking as they left,they set off to Lavi's. While on their way, they spotted many familiar vehicles out his house: A black Yamaha Fz6 Fazer 600 belonging to Krowry (Or 'Crow-chan' to someone) which glistened in the moon's reflected light; a Dark Blue (much like the colour of its owner's hair) Pearl Metallic Ford F150 XLT SuperCrew 4X4 which was Kanda's the urge to reck his car is just tempting; a flowery dark green bicycle which belonged to Lenalee somehow, it's either Lenalee was trying to do a bit for the environment, or this involves Komui...; Miranda's red Wrangler Jeep (somehow, it just seemed to suit her, who cared wether or not it wasn't the lastest car?). Many others came after that, but they were almost running late, so they didn't have much time to continue finding out whose cars was whose.
They walked in,
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLEN!"
and Allen just became confused.
"What the?"
