It had been a week since Lavi had adopted Allen, and it had turned Allen into nothing but a bundle of nerves. The cat boy had done nothing but worry over little details. Lavi had to wonder if this was the correct choice. But by the end of the week Allen had calmed down. That night when Lavi laid down he found Allen joined him only a few minutes later.
"Lavi?"Allen whispered, causing Lavi to 'hmm'. Allen started"I've been wondering if I could tell you something."Lavi propped himself up on a single elbow.
"Go ahead,"He told Allen,"Shoot."
"Well before you found me I was held by the Earl."Allen ended with a whisper ears folded back, and tail flickering nervously. Lavi's mouth fell open shock over coming him. Why would his innocent Allen be the Earl's. Everyone knew of the Earl's experiments on his 'pets'.
"Well that's...nice?"Lavi had no clue what else to say. When he saw the look on Allen's face he figured that was not the best choice of words.
"Nice?NICE! It was anything but nice it was like living in hell."Allen screamed but ended in a quiet,timid voice.
"I'm sorry that was stupid of me to say."Lavi apologized. With a 'yes it was.' from Allen they fell asleep, the tension still strong in the air.
