Back again ;)
Hope you enjoy this chapter! Allen finds out just what he can do with his fanfiction account. Also, some other people stumble upon something they're not supposed to see...?
Warning, Kanda's a little OOC later on, so please excuse that, if you could. It's hard to keep him out of everything. D:
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own DGM, Apple, or anything outside references in this fanfiction.
It's about 10 in the morning, and Allen's finally woken up after that horrendously long night, and he's hungry.
So after he's changed out of his limp, dirty clothes from the previous day, and has had a good bath, he heads down to the cafeteria, where he orders a huge cart of food, and eats it in about 10 minutes.
He then heads back to his room, still feeling slightly lethargic.
"I remember Komui gave all of us a Macbook... I think mine's still in the box, unopened," Allen says to himself, as he gets a hold on the cupboard handles and swings open the doors. "Uniform, uniform, clothes, pillow, book, uniform, remains of a chicken, and yes, Macbook box!"
He promptly lifts the box from the whole mess in the cupboard, makes a mental note to clear it someday, and sets the box on the floor.
After tearing open the package, he holds up his unused Macbook, and holds it up to the sunlight, marvelling at the texture, the size, the colour, and pretty much everything about it. But he can't help it - technology never fails to amuse him!
Then he turns it on.
And gets startled by the welcome music that plays from it.
"It even welcomes you? What a friendly computer!" Allen holds the smooth surface to his cheek, instantly taking a liking to it.
It takes him about an hour or so to get the whole thing started up, and Allen manages to find out how to connect to the Black Order's broadband. Then he plugs the Macbook into the powerpoint by his bed, just to make sure it doesn't suddenly run out of battery, and he clicks on every icon in the desktop until he finds the one for the internet, which is surprisingly labelled 'Firefox'.
"Firefox?" Allen wonders at the name. "What does Firefox have to do with the Internet?"
Nevertheless, he goes to the Fanfiction website, and logs in to his account.
He sees 12 sections at the side of the page, all with different labels, and decides to click on the first label, which is titled Account.
Out appears 4 subgroups; Settings, Profile, Avatar, and Block Users.
"Boring."
So he moves on.
He proceeds to click on the label below Account, which is Publish, but nothing there seems to appeal to him, and he's decided he's going to write out the whole fanfiction on paper before typing it out, so Publish is of no importance to him. However, he does decide to read the Rules & Guidelines, just for the heck of it, and also because he doesn't want to get into trouble for any unforeseen reason.
Briefly noting the Community Etiquette, he moves down to the Entries Not Allowed, Actions Not Allowed, and General rules, and is surprised to find out that quite a fraction of the fanfictions he's read completely breaks at least one of the rules up there.
Allen dismisses it. "Oh well, there are always the rebels."
Moving on, he decides to skip Private Messaging, because he hasn't found anyone to Private Message, and it's pointless if he went there.
Alerts are also slightly pointless, just that he realises that he can actually alert his favourite stories that are still continuing.
Favouriting's also something new to him, but he doesn't explore too much into that.
After that, none of the categories seem to interest him, except for Beta Reader and DocX.
"Oh, that's cool," Allen notes for Beta Reader, "you can get other people to be your story editors!"
And as for DocX, "Like document Private Messaging. That's cool."
When Allen looks at the clock on his screen, he's surprised that it's been 2 hours since he's unpacked his Macbook, and he proceeds to turn the laptop off and head back down to the cafeteria for another meal.
Lunch is a lively affair, with the usual five at the table, eating together. Kanda usually sits at the table just next to them, prefering to eat - and stone - by himself. By now, everyone's not so daunted by the pile of Allen's food anymore, even if it does occasionally restrict their movement.
"Allen-kun!" Lenalee waves him over to their usual table. "Did you know that Miranda reads fanfiction too?"
"Really?" Allen's surprised, as he's never heard anything about that before. "How come you never told us?"
"It never came up, I guess," the newly discovered reader nervously replies, twirling a lock of hair with her fingers, poking at her food.
"What's the whole big deal about fanfiction, anyway?" Lavi asks, as he tries to catch up with the conversation, and Krory nods along with him.
Lenalee and Allen gape at the other two males, while Miranda doesn't gape, but internally gapes at them anyway.
"Fanfiction is... awesome. You get to choose what you want the characters to do. You get to torture or put the characters into complete bliss. You get to decide. All you have to do is shape the words, and out comes this magnificent story, that everyone wants to read, and everyone loves. It's a win-win situation, see? That's why I like writing fanfiction, and so does Allen here," Lenalee lightly slaps Allen on his arm, "and I'm sure Miranda will soon see the light and start writing too."
"Yeah... What she said."
They all get up to clear their trays/cart, and head their own seperate ways to their rooms.
...or are they really going back to their own rooms?
"Tch, usagi," Kanda magically appears from Lavi's right, "Don't you wonder what Lenalee writes?"
"Yuu~! You were listening!"
"Don't call me by my first name. And answer, usagi."
"Well, to be honest, I'm actually very interested to what the likes of her might write. But I don't know her fanfiction account username, so it's not use..."
"Or," Krory magically appears from Lavi's left, "We could do something really... evil?"
The redhead spins around to look at the other two, and as his plan shapes in his head, his face shapes into an evil grin.
"Hell yeah~."
The threesome then abruptly stop in their path, and knowing that Lenalee's preoccupied in Komui's office, sneakily head to her room; as sneakily as they can, anyway.
Lavi proves to be excellent at lock-picking, and so they enter without much worry. He scans the room, snatches the Macbook on the desk, and hugs it to his chest, as they close the door and flee from the scene of crime.
Since Lavi shares his room with Bookman and can't really do illegal stuff in there, they decide to go to Krory's room, because the thought of going to Kanda's room frightens them, a little.
Krory pries open the screen from the keyboard, and they stare at it, waiting for it to do something.
"Press the 'on' button, idiot!" Kanda hisses, and the vampire scrambles to find and press it.
A weird noise emanates from it.
"OH GREAT LENALEE'S ONTO US!" Lavi cries, before Kanda thunks his head hard with the handle of Mugen.
"It's the welcome tone, baka usagi."
"Ohhh!"
The screen lights up, and they find themselves staring at two random dudes in the middle of a heated make-out session, Lenalee's desktop wallpaper.
"SHIT ON A SHINGLE!" Everyone covers their eyes at the explicitly gay scene, and Lavi hastily clicks on the Internet icon, where Google blocks out the unpleasant sight.
Krory closes his eyes, and opens them again. "You know, I think I know what Lenalee writes now."
"Well, we've already gotten so far!" Lavi's adamant, despite the eye-tainting photo they've just seen. "Might as well find out what Lenalee writes now."
They head to the fanfiction website, where Lenalee's account automatically signs in.
"Let's go to... Publish, then Manage Stories. Probably her stories will be there."
Krory and Kanda watch as Lavi gets where he's just said, and look in delight at the number of stories there are that she's written - the more the merrier to blackmail!
But when Kanda scans the summaries of the stories, he turns pale.
"Eh, Yuu-chan, what're you so scared about?" Lavi turns to the person on his left, and notices the deathly colour of his face.
The other two hear Kanda muttering "Bad idea, bad idea...", when they can't find anything too abnormal in the summaries. It's just about love, and although all the names in the summaries appear to be boy names, it's not like she put a warning for explicit sex, or anything.
Then Krory spots a common word in each summary.
"What's 'yaoi'?"
Kanda mutters some more. "Yaoi, and the rating set to M for mature, and her wallpaper... Not a good idea..."
"Eh, Yuu, speak up!" Lavi pokes the man-girl, and accidentally clicks on one of the stories. But when he scans the story that now appears on the screen, and his face turns into a sheet of paper, and runs out of the room, screaming like a little girl.
The other two read the story, just out of curious human/vampire nature, and their reaction's the same as Lavi's.
"MOYASHIIII~!" Lavi barges into Allen's room, and promptly barfs onto the stone floor.
Before Allen can react, two other figures (later identified as Kanda and Krory) stumble in, and follow the hammer-wielding dude's example to spew out their lunch on the floor. But since Krory doesn't exactly eat normal food, he coughs out blood, and starts rolling on the floor.
"Ehhh?" The owner of the room is taken aback at the sight, and promptly calls the cleaners to come clear the huge, stinky mess.
"Allen-kun, -cough- don't -cough- trust -cough- Lenalee! -cough-" Krory manages to say, as he's sprawled on the floor like a carpet.
Before Allen can question that statement, Kanda gets to his senses to elaborate.
"She explained the definition of lemons, didn't she?"
All Allen can do is nod.
"She writes lemons." Kanda simply says, as calmly as he can, after one has seen an M-rated fanfiction for the first time, about their own gender. As if to prove his being sane again, he adds, "Che."
THEN Allen remembers a lemon that he very accidentally clicked on and read, and pukes out his lunch too, which is this whole, huge pile of liquidified food, right on his bed.
DUN DUN DUNNNNN ALLEN KNOWS THE TRUTH! LEGASP!
Anyway, hopefully this chapter wasn't too short - I tried to write it as fast as I could, but I had ever so many things to do. Meanwhile, please do review if you liked it, and tell me what I can include in the next chapter!
I've had people ask me to incorporate pairings in this fic, like LenaleeXAllen or Yullen or Laven and stuff like that, so I'll be making the official pairing AllXAllen, with Allen liking none, of course. However, not to worry, because the pairings will only be turning out crack, so this fanfic is NOT going to turn out into romance.
Stay tuned! :)
