[A/N] Good news in the next one I learn what the shift button is.
High School. Yullen. Lavi. Based off of fanart of Kanda with glasses. [A/N]
long fingers pushed at black frames, sliding the glasses up higher on the bridge of his nose. a sigh escaped his lips as his hand moved around the back of his head and pull his long ebony hair over one shoulder and he leaned back in his chair, cobalt eyes focused on the open textbook in front of him on the school desk. his black uniform blazer was folded over the back of his chair, the long sleeves of his black shirt pushed up to his elbows.
"earth to allen."
the boy blinked, large silver eyes focusing on the person in front of him. messy vibrant red let free from it's headband, white medical eyepatch, and a large always-teasing grin. "what were we talking about, lavi?" allen looked sheepish, being caught spacing out.
lavi "tsk'd" the boy, his arms slung over the back of the chair he'd pulled in front of allen's desk. "i was helping you with this," he jabbed his finger down at the history text book in between them. allen had requested his friend's help for the exam later that week. it wasn't that he didn't understand anything, he just got a few events switched up in his head; nothing too drastic. lavi just happened to be an expert at all things history, the perfect person to ask. the only problem was that allen kept getting… "but it seems your attention lies elsewhere, hm, allen?"
"i… well…" the boy bowed his head, eyes trained on the history book, cheeks dusted with a tinge of pink.
the ginger shrugged. "no big deal, we all got our strong attractions."
"it's not attraction!" allen defended, sounding horrified by the very idea of it. attracted to that? please. he'd rather have an attraction to the nerdy assistant science teacher johnny. not that he did. that would just be… strange. really, really strange.
"allen." lavi leaned forward, resting his arms on the edge of the desk. "you were gazing at him. not even staring, it was gazing." he smiled, looking over at the one they were talking about for a moment before returning his attention to allen. "almost longingly."
"i do not gaze longingly at anyone." the snowy-haired boy's voice went flat, unamused.
"i beg to differ."
"you saw wrong."
lavi sighed, leaning back against his chair once more. "it's not like i can blame you." he admitted. "yuu is all sorts of pretty for a man, if you go for it."he looked over at his best friend, silently reading by the windows.
it wasn't particularly surprising to the ginger, allen's seeming attraction to the dark-haired teenager. with the way they bickered all the time there had to be something hidden under all that.
though, perhaps kanda's was a geniune annoyance. pity, now he kind of felt bad for allen.
"i do not "go for it", lavi." allen hissed quietly, hoping kanda couldn't hear them. he wasn't all that far away after all — though, if he had heard he probably would have started something by now. with his temper every comment about him pissed him off.
"fine, fine." lavi shook his head at the boy. "are you going to go into town with lenalee and i today?"
allen shook his head, an apologetic smile on his lips. "no, i'm going to stay in the dorms and work on the math."
—-
"shit." he held the textbook above his head, eyebrows knit together and he tried to decipher the problems layed out before him. it wasn't that math was hard for him, he could do algebra and all that.. but once you got past algebra you lost allen walker. lost him with no hope of finding him.
he groaned, letting the text book rest on his face with a huff. he'd have to wait for lavi to return from the day trip. now he regretting staying behind, there was no point in him being in the dorms if he couldn't do his homework without the help of his ginger friend.
"if you're trying to commit suicide, a pillow might be more effective."
allen jumped, an undignified squeak leaving his mouth as he sat up, book falling into his lap.
kanda stood next to the other bed in the room, holding his blazer over his shoulder in one hand, and text book in the other. he stare down at the snowy-haired boy with one eyebrow raised, classes still perched on his face.
allen frowned, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed and dumping the math book over the edge. he didn't need it anymore. "i wasn't trying to kill myself, though i'm sure you're displeased to hear that."
the dark-haired teen shrugged, placing his text book on his side the long desk on the wall between their beds. "i don't give a shit what you do." he said boredly as he crossed the room to his closet to hang up his blazer. "i'm not the one "gazing" at people during free time in class."
"i was not "gazing" damnit!" the boy snapped defensively. so kanda had heard. well, that was embarassing. maybe he should think up suicide.
kanda scoffed, shoving his hands in the pockets of his pants as he approached allen. "i thought you were supposed to be doing math."
"i don't quite understand it." allen frowned, lips forming a pout as he glared down at the rejected math book. "i have to ask lavi when he gets back from the day trip with lenalee."
the older teen leaned down, picking up the math book and flipping through it, scanning the pages quickly.
"do you know how to do any of it?" the snowy-haired boy sounded almost hopeful, he really didn't want missing out on a town trip to go to waste because he couldn't figure out some goddamned math problems.
kanda dropped the math book, "like hell i do." he muttered.
"hmph." allen grimaced. "you know, those glasses make you look smart."
the dark-haired teen cocked an eyebrow, moving in front of the other, letting on knee rest on the bed and he leaned over allen. "that so?" he asked, bowing his head until they were inches apart.
the snowy-haired boy gulped, not used to being so close to the older teen. what brought this on? kanda normally hated being so close… he reached up, fingers brushing the black frames of the glasses as he nodded.
"too bad you're dumb as shit."
