Lavi had stuck around Allen's room for nearly half an hour before the sweet white haired boy coaxed his lover into relaxing and diving into the hundreds of books he knew Lavi wanted to read. Reluctantly though, the red head sulked his way back down to the first floor and into the library, skimming the isles of books until he had a decent pile to lug back to his room.
Back on the third floor though, Allen decided to take a hot shower, the water warm and relaxing against his tense muscles. Allen let out a content sigh as he hopped out of the marble shower and grabbed one of the plush towels set there for his stay. Wrapping the towel around his waist, Allen slowly left the bathroom, almost jumping out of his skin when he saw a shirtless Jonathan sitting on his bed with a look he could recognize from the many times he had seen it from Lavi; predatory.
"D-Did something happen?" Allen almost hoped it had been an akuma attacking or something but no such luck as Jonathan patted the space next to him on the goose-feather stuffed bed for Allen to sit.
Slowly, trying not to show his hesitation too much, Allen moved to sit on the spot and wished he had more than a towel to protect himself from that awful gaze.
"I don't trust that other boy too much. There are only certain people I trust" Allen shivered when he felt a finger run down his arm.
"Oh?" Allen slowly scooted away from the touch.
"I like 'em slim, pale, like me" Jonathan slowly crawled over Allen's lap. "You're quite pretty" the older man whispered next to Allen's ear.
Quite frankly at this point if he had the choice, Allen would rather go toe-to-toe with the Earl. With nothing more than a stick for protection than stay another second near Jonathan.
"T-Thank you but I've got to erm.. go discuss stuff with Lavi…exorcist stuff" without even bothering to change, Allen ran out of the room and down the stairs faster than if Kanda were swinging Mugen for his head.
Lavi looked up from his seventh book when he heard the sudden banging at his door. The visitor, not bothering to wait for him, swung the door open to reveal Allen in nothing but a towel.
"A-Allen.." Lavi blushed as he noticed the perspiration from Allen's shower and short jog clinging to his bangs, the boy's cheeks flushed and towel still clinging to slim hips.
"Lavi.." Allen panted as he walked in and closed the door. Allen pried the book from Lavi's hands and crawled into the ever inviting arms of his lover. "Can I stay down here for a bit?"
"Sure.." Lavi was too content with Allen in his lap and playing with damp silver locks between his fingers like earlier on the train to ask why.
