The rest of the week had gone very slowly for Allen. He was waiting anxiously for the long dragging week to be over. He wanted to see Bak as soon as possible so he could at least get started to look for Lavi. Finally once Wednesday came Allen threw his arms in the air and said "Screw it!" He was sick of waiting he knew he wanted to do this so there was no reason to sit and wait while he could be on a train heading somewhere to look for Lavi. So he decided to go to Bak's office early contradicting to what Lou Fa had told him earlier this week.
"Come in!" Bak yelled from his desk just barley raising his voice to the knock that came from the door.
"Hi, Bak can I talk to you about something?" Allen slowly opened the door and closed it behind himself softly.
"Sure, take a seat." Bak motioned towards the chair in front of his desk while still focusing on the paper before himself.
"Um, I was wondering if you perhaps have records of previous exorcists from the order." Allen said as he sat down in the chair Bak had offered.
"Why?" Bak looked up from his desk paying all of his attention to the exorcist in front of him.
"I want to find Lavi." Allen's voice was slightly shaky and stern.
"If I may ask, what for?" Bak leaned forward on his desk interlocking his fingers and resting his chin on said hands.
"I found something of his mixed up with my things and I think he should get it back. I also have something to tell him I neglected to tell him the day he left." Allen's face painted a slight pink as he spoke the last sentence.
"May I ask what is it you found of his?" Bak leaned back into his chair pulling open a drawer from his desk.
"A diary." Allen said nervously directing his attention to the floor below him keeping his eyes locked dead on.
"A diary? That's interesting." Bak raised an eyebrow digging through the drawer.
"Yeah, and I think he should have it back." Allen hated to lie to Bak but he needed a better excuse to find Lavi then "I found out Lavi might like me and I have to confirm it myself."
"So tell me what's the real reason you want to see him?" Bak pulled out a file from the drawer dropping it on his desk now focusing his attention back on Allen.
"Damn." Allen mentally punched himself for being such a bad liar. Sighing Allen looked at Bak straight in the eyes. "Ok, just don't tell anyone. I've always wanted to tell him I wanted to be more than friends." Allen blushed trying to redirect his eyes from Bak's.
"I see... You are aware that you probably won't be able to find him, right?" Bak's attention was once again back on the file digging through it's content.
"I know that. And I will be willing to give up what I have right now so I can see him." Allen spoke with a serous and stern voice showing his emotions about what he said.
"In that case here." Bak pulled out a stack of paper at least an inch thick. "Since we don't have any sighting of Akuma I will allow you to look for Lavi." Bak then held out the huge stack to Allen motioning for him to take it. Taking the papers Allen had a baffled look on his face. "These are all of the possible places Lavi could be." Bak explained while putting the file back in his desk.
"That's a lot of places." Allen widened his eyes as he flipped through the stack.
Bak nodded his head before he spoke. "I think that he would be somewhere in Europe, more specifically I think you should look around the eastern side. Try to visit all of the small towns and such around that area first." Bak sighed getting up from his desk, stretching out his arms above his head.
"Thanks Bak, I really appreciate your help." Allen smiled as he stood up from his chair as well.
"However, if any Akuma sighting do pop up around your area you are to immediately leave and take care of the Akuma, understood?" Bak walked over to the door and began to open it.
"Understood, thank you very much Bak. If you need anything just tell me." Allen smiled and joined Bak at the door.
"There's one thing, you didn't hear any of this from me. Got it?" Bak grinned awkwardly as they walked out of his office.
"Hear what?" Allen smiled as they walked down the hall both not exactly sure where they were going.
"Exactly." Bak grinned. "Oh yeah, don't forget to take Timcampy with you." Bak hollered and waved off to Allen before he entered the science division. Running towards what Allen presumed to be newbie's that were doing a procedure wrong.
"I sure hope I can find Lavi." Allen whispered to himself before he slowly walked to his room to pack.

"Damn paperwork." Lavi groaned rubbing his temples. "Stupid Gramps leaves for just two months to go to the clan's meeting and I get stuck with all of this." Lavi motioned to the large mountain of paperwork around himself. "I thought it would be nice to get away from the old panda, but no I have to work twice as hard then usual." Lavi raised his voice in obvious irritation.
After moping for a good ten minutes Lavi relaxed a bit and got back to work. Lavi had tried to take his mind off his paperwork before with attempting to read a diary entry from Allen's diary. However, it seemed to get him worked up after reading an entry; from reading first hand what Allen had gone through it made his life's problems seem petty.
Lavi's 'date' with Olivia was coming up soon. Lavi himself was not looking forward to the 'date', in fact he was dreading it. For he did not like Olivia in any sort of way besides that of a friend. The only person he had ever thought of wanting to be more than just friends was Allen.
"I wonder if he ever liked me back." Lavi asked himself as he walked out of his room and towards the small kitchen within the house.
Pulling out a coffee mug from a cabinet lavi sighed. "He probably didn't, I mean who would love an emotionless Bookman?" Lavi spoke with what seemed to be hatred directed to himself.
Pouring the freshly made coffee out of the pot and into his mug Lavi began to remember the truly good times he had with Allen.
Memories of them both laughing and smiling no strain in their actions. No sarcasm or mocking, nor sneering towards one another. Only grins and chuckles, cackles and smirks, only friendship. Something Lavi had never experienced until he came to the Black Order.
The dark brown coffee began to seep over the sides of the mug Lavi was holding, dripping to the counter before brining the daydreaming redhead to his senses. "Shit..!" Lavi focused his attention on his coffee mug and the coffee now spreading across the counter.
After cleaning his coffee spill up Lavi returned to his room to resume his long line of work he had to compete by the next month.
While he did his paperwork Lavi drifted of into his thoughts once more. This time thinking about what it would be like if he had stayed at the Order.
No matter how many times he thought up the possible outcomes Lavi always ended up seeing himself with none other than Allen Walker, of course as being more than friends.

Allen had nearly missed his train, due to the fact that he forgot Lavi's Journal and had to rush back to his room to retrieve the main thing that was allowing him to leave in the first place. Once Allen had got onto the train and gotten to his compartment he settled down and began to read an entry from Lavi's Journal.
October 23rd, 1887
Dear Journal,
I am proud to announce Allen Walker is not dead! Though on his arrival he went into combat with the Earl. Shortly afterwards we were transported to the 'Ark'. We all ended up fighting very strong and difficult opponents. Me? I was in Road's dream world and was stripped of all emotions as a true Bookman should be. Resulting in the fight between myself and Allen Walker. I am still upset at myself for fighting Allen even though I couldn't control myself I still feel terrible. He didn't fight back, though something Lenalee did tell me that he did was he hugged me. I have never been hugged before. I have wished it for years but, nothing .It may sound weird but I wish I was in my body at that time so I could feel his touch, his warmth, his love.
Lavi Bookman. Jr-
Allen's face turned a light pink after reading the entry. Lavi really thought of him that way? Maybe he did have a chance with Lavi after all.
Allen had soon fallen asleep on the train, rocking back and forth to the rhythm of turns. He would have continued to sleep but the train's loud horn woke him up making him realize he was already at the first stop. Once he had gotten off the train he realized the town itself was at least a mile away. On top of that it was a windy day with what looked like to be rain clouds in the sky. Allen had soon gotten to the town and began to look around for a loud redhead.
"Excuse me?" Allen turned around to see an older woman maybe in her 60's.
"Yes?" Allen politely smiled at the woman while getting bumped by many people who were in a hurry.
"You look lost, do you need some assistance?" The woman asked kindly, she was also being bumped by the busy people in the town.
"Actually I was wondering if you could help me find someone." Allen smiled awkwardly while rubbing the back of his head.
"Yes of course dear. Who is it you wish to find?" She smiled.
"My friend, he has bright red hair, green eyes, an eyepatch on his right eye, and he's very tall. Do you know if anyone in your town could possibly even look like him?" Allen explained Lavi's characteristics with his own body, showing the woman his hair and such when explaining.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know of anyone that even has red hair." The woman frowned sympathetically.
"Oh, ok thanks for your time." Allen waved slightly to the woman before he started to walk back to the train station. He would have searched more but, that town didn't have anything crazy or interesting going on. And that's kind of what Bookman record.
Traveling by train can be pretty boring. Allen definitely would admit to that. He had gone to two different towns today not including the first he went to. Nothing. He had been looking all day, to say he was exhausted was an understatement. His next destination was over six hours away so it gave him plenty of time to sleep. But every time he closed his eyelids all he saw was Lavi.
