A/N: After a brief consultation with Joe and George I have reached a decision. (Joe liked the idea and George hated it but we managed to reach a consensus.) So, here we go:
"Hey, Lavi?"
"Yes, Allen?"
"Um, would you like to help me get revenge on Kanda?"
"I thought you'd never ask!"
The two of them set about thinking up strategies that would punish Kanda while at the same time wining him over. Various ideas were posed, from blackmail to cat-ears but they all seemed a little flat or unnecessarily complicated. In the end it was Lenalee (who had come to collect them for a mission) who came up with a feasible plan.
The boys were resistant at first but it was the best plan. Jealousy is a great motivator and would expose Kanda's true feelings (and give Lavi something else to bug him about).

Fate was on the Moyashi's side. He was being sent on a mission with Kanda and Lavi.
Allen forgot all about the plan until an hour into their train ride. He had been too busy pretending to read the book that Lavi had lent him and trying to ignore the fact that Kanda was sitting directly across from him.

Lavi who had not forgotten, casually stretched out his arms, sliding one across Allen's shoulders… and leaving it there. Stage one complete. (Well he had glomped Allen in the supervisor's office but that was mainly run of the mill Lavi behavior.)
Allen was starting to have serious second thoughts about going through with this. It was kind of akward and the whole plan could easily blow up in their faces.

Never in his life had Kanda been so pissed at the stupid rabbit. Lavi was a grade A nuisance . During mission briefing the bastard had dared to hug his Moyashi, and then he had the gall to sit on the couch between them.
The Usagi's assholeness had carried over onto the train. The spot next to Allen was his dammit! Now, oh, Kanda truly wanted to hack the smug bastard into tiny little pieces. The only thing that stopped him was the thought of Allen's reaction.
And what the fuck had gotten into Allen anyway? The Moyashi hadn't spoken to him, or yelled at him either. In fact, he seemed determined to ignore him all together.

Lavi had just had a brilliant idea! He bent down a little and whispered it into Allen's ear, trying not to laugh as the vein on Yu's forehead started to throb.
Allen squirmed a little at the intensity of Kanda's gaze but he decided to play along anyway. It was tolerable and unlikely to get them killed (or so he hoped).
And so it came to be that about half an hour later, Allen 'drifted off' against the redhead's shoulder. Lavi, for his part, merely patted the boy's head and cooed, "Aww! Yu, look he's sleeping!"

What the fuck? Kanda glowered at Lavi willing the bastard's head to explode.
The junior bookman smiled cheekily and gave him a one shouldered shrug.
The trained pulled into the station just as Kanda was about to go for his throat (with Mugen of course).

The jostling woke Allen (who had truly fallen asleep at some point). He pouted and rubbed heavy lidded eyes before looking between the older boys with confusion.

Later while scoping out the area, Kanda stopped at the inn and reserved two rooms.
To be continued…
A/N: So hopefully that was acceptable for everyone. I moved the more flirtatious stuff to another (upcoming) Yullen fic, which will basically consist of Kanda walking in on Allen and Lavi in (deliberately) awkward situations. (Basically Allen doesn't believe that Kanda likes him, so Lavi sets out to prove it).
Reviews are made of love. (And if you have any ideas for 'awkward situations' I want to hear about them! ( It just can't be full on Laven because it'd make George cry))
