Chapter 7

Over the next few days, Lavi and Kanda become closer than ever. The concert in Paris was pushed back for technical reasons, most of which Poe would refuse to explain. She vaguely said something was wrong with the set and walked off quickly, hiding her smirk until she was far out of sight of the two. (1 for those who want to know)

So, in the extra time, Lavi help Kanda learn a few new songs on the piano. Kanda had showed an interest and who better to teach then a pro? Of course, this was also more of Poe's meddling, but I won't get into that. Thus, Lavi and Kanda spent more time together then one would think.

Well, one day, Lavi randomly decided that he wanted to go on a tour of Paris again with Kanda. Well, it wasn't ALL random. Kukuku…. Poe had elicited to Kanda's wanting to take a tour but not wanting to do it alone…. Kukuku……

Well, Kanda agreed to the tour, saying that it sounded like fun! ._. Yeah…. Needless to say that Lavi was happy about this beyond all belief. He wanted to spend at least one day with his crush in the city of lights/love.

Oh and what a day it was. Wake up at around 9, head to La Petite Cuisine for brunch at around 10, then off to a tour of the palace of Versailles from about 11 to about 3. Then, at Lavi's request, a 'romantic' horse and carriage ride through Paris till about 5. Then, once again at Lavi's begging, they took a quick tour on foot through 'The Da Vinci Code', don't ask, it'll take too long to explain. So that brings us to about 7 o'clock. They went to dinner at the Moulin Rouge and then to the main event! (2)

So, this brings us to about 9 o'clock, 9:30-ish. Paris was lit up and beautiful, and our two 'lovers' were sitting in front of the Eiffel Tower, relaxing after an exhausting twelve hour day. And, really, how could you blame them? Even if it weren't an exhausting day, wouldn't you want to sit on the grass and gaze at the lit up city of lights too???

Lavi looked over at Kanda, who was looking straight ahead in awe. Lavi blushed slightly, glad that Kanda couldn't see him. Here he was, in the city of lights at night with his crush. Could things get any better!?! Lavi's mind figured that that would be a resounding YES if Kanda liked him back.

"Hey, Yuu?" Lavi asked before he could stop himself. Kanda looked over at his with a small smile.

"What is it?" Kanda asked, his voice a little softer than usual.

"Well…. Ummm…" lie, truth, lie, truth, lie, truth?! Truth!! "Are you happy here?"

"Well… it's better than being at home alone, that's for sure," Kanda said with a small chuckle. "But, yeah, I am…"

"Are you happy… with me?" Lavi asked, gently putting his hand on top of Kanda's. and to his surprise, the Japanese didn't pull away.

"Yeah…" Kanda said, a small smile still gracing his features.

Neither knew who moved first, but did it really matter? They slowly moved closer to each other the world around them fading away until it was just them. In a matter of seconds, their lips connected. Fireworks. That it how either would have described it. Fireworks going off in their heads. Of course, that could also be from the fireworks going off from the Moulin Rouge, but that is not important right now. Kanda pulled Lavi closer, slipping one hand around the rabbit's waist while the other went up to the base of his neck, tilting his held slightly to deepen the kiss. Lavi's arms automatically snaked around Kanda's neck, fingers tangling in the long raven locks.

"COME ON, LET'S SEE A LITTLE TONGUE!"

Kanda and Lai both jumped apart at the scream and saw what the poor rabbit REALLY did not want at that moment. Almost every newspaper, tabloid, and magazine journalists in Paris were there, snapping pictures like there was no tomorrow. Said rabbit turned as red as his hair as Kanda dragged him away from the spot, hopping into the nearest trolley with the distraught pop star.

"And the two young lovers dash away from the scene!" one of the journalists said into her recorder, watching the trolley leave.

"My life is over…" Lavi said, his head in his hands as he took a seat in the empty trolley. "My reputation is going to go down the drain."

"No it won't," Kanda said, pulling Lavi into a hug as he sat down next to him. "As long as those dopes keep thinking I'm a girl, everything will be okay."

"No it won't!!" Lavi said, looking up at Kanda as if he had twenty heads. "Those idiots like to gossip!!! Who KNOWS what they'll write!! And what if Allen sees one of the articles!! He's going to recognize you! I don't want to die!!!!!"

"I won't let anyone hurt you, Lavi," Kanda said in a 'don't fuck with me' voice. "I promise. I'll deal with Allen and we'll leave Poe to deal with the press, okay?"

"Okay…" Lavi said, snuggling into Kanda's warm embrace as the trolley headed for home.

(1) Poe's meddling was to purposely make something go wrong on the stage so that the show would have to be delayed. She's evil like that.

(2)The 'main event' is going to see the Eifel Tower.
