"Oh! I completely forgot!" Allen exclaimed standing abruptly, grabbing his bag that he'd thrown across the room when he entered. he sat back down next to Kanda and began pulling out the contents.
"I brought you some books, just like I promised." Allen smiled, stacking them up on his lap, tossing the empty bag to the side. Kanda grabbed the first book from the stack and leafed through it.
"These are some of my favorites. I hope you like them like I do." Allen said as Kanda leafed through a second book.
"These are all new, why not give me the shitty old ones?" Kanda asked as he removed his finger from the sticky residue the price tag left.
"Well, I don't own any of them...I just rent them from the library. That's why it took so long to get these for you, I saved up a bit for them." Allen explained
"You bought them for me? Why?" Kanda questioned and Allen just smiled.
"Because I could, so just drop it okay?"
"Thank you." Kanda mumbled, taking the small pile in his hands. Allen smiled and stood once again. Kanda stood as well, grabbing his katana as he did so, hooking it in place.
"Let's go for a walk." Allen suggested. Kanda nodded and Allen retrieved the silver bracelets from a desk drawer. After putting on the proper on, and putting the other on Kanda, the pair left the cell and headed down the hospital like hallways.
"So, do you want to just wander the halls or go outside." Allen asked, breaking the silence that filled the air between them.
"Wander the halls, I don't want to see that damn usagi again." Kanda stated scowling.
"Alright. Hey, these handcuff bracelet things, don't you think 100ft is a bit extreme?" Allen asked, twirling the cuff around his small wrist.
"No, not really. Not compared to the size of this god forsaken place. 100ft is a small amount of space if you size this facility to a normal prison, at one of those places, we'd have 10 maybe 15 feet between up." Kanda commented and Allen nodded slowly taking the information in.
"How long have you been here?" Allen asked, noticing Kanda was in, what seemed to be rare, question answering mood.
"About a year and a half ago. Until then I was at a lower security prison with a bunch of other people my age." Kanda stated and Allen once again nodded, taking in the information.
"Heeeeyy, person! Look it's Yuuuuu!" Lavi's voice echoed down the hall, followed by Toby telling him his name was Toby, once again. Lavi sprinted down the long hallway aiming to collide with Kanda, who side-stepped in the last seconds, stuck out an arm and waited. Lavi, being the simple-minded child he is, managed to run straight into Kanda's hand, effectively hitting himself in the face.
"Ow! Yuu! That hurt!" Lavi yelled.
"I've told you countless times not to call me that!" Kanda growled and Lavi giggled walking in circles around Toby, who just stood there and sighed in union with Allen.
"Kanda, why don't you calm down a bit." Allen suggested, pulling Kanda away from Lavi.
"Yeah, Yuu! Let's go get some food!" Lavi exclaimed grabbing Kanda's hand and pulling him towards the lunchroom. Allen ran after the pair, with Toby not far behind.
"Kanda~ Hun! It's been forever, what can I get for you?" Jerry asked leaning halfway out of the kitchen window to hug Kanda.
"I'll take my usual soba." Kanda replied removing the chef from his person. Jerry smiled took the other's orders and went to prepare the meals. Kanda sighed and leaned against the walls, closing his eyes deep in thought.
"Kanda?" Allen said standing before him, looking up at him with curious eyes.
"What?" Kanda sighed, looking down at Allen.
"What ya thinking about?" Allen asked with a smile. Kanda looked away from the silver eyes that gazed at him and said a quick reply before leaving to collect his order. Allen frowned and followed kanda to grab his own order.
"Are you sure you can eat all this, cutie?" Jerry asked as he handed over Allen's array of food.
"Yes! Thank you." Allen smiled piling the trays onto his arms and making his way across the lunch room to join Kanda. It was strange, but he felt at home in the facility. But he hated the prison itself, he didn't quite understand what he was thinking, but he sort of liked coming here. It was a strange notion that Allen knew to keep to himself.
Allen laid his meal before him as he sat down next to Kanda, immediately beginning to shovel food into his mouth. Kanda put down his chopsticks and stared at Allen.
"What?" Allen asked through a mouthful of food, making the word sound like a jumble of M's and odd sounding T's.
"Dude! How are you eating all that?!" Lavi asked,reaching for one of Allen's onion rings. Allen went to stab Lavi's hand with his fork and Lavi quickly drew his hand back.
"I dunno, just hungry." Allen replied with a shrug, eating once more.
"You're so weird!" Lavi said, taking a donut and skewing it with a lone chopstick, then eating it off the stick. Kanda gave him a questioning look as Lavi ate it.
"Says the hyper ginger with multiple personalities that just skewered a donut with one of my chopsticks." Kanda said grabbing a fork from the cup of utensils and finished eating. Allen finished his meal, stacked the plates up and followed Kanda to drop them back off. With a huge smile, Allen followed Kanda back to his cell.
