"I-" Lavi stuttered. "I-I can't help it, it's natural to me. I can't let go of such a big part of my past." Lavi fell to his knees, Allen could see a glittery liquid fall from his eyes.
"If you don't let go of the past, you can build yourself a future, Lavi." Allen said bending done, and putting his hand on his shoulder.
"I d-don't have a f-future. I-I never have…" Lavi stuttered, the tears had stopped by then. And Lavi was getting ready to get up, but Allen stopped him… again.
"Lavi, you can talk to me, I just want you to know, you can trust me." Allen said, letting Lavi go.
"I don't need to trust anybody…" Lavi muttered as he walked away.
Allen still, just stood there. He was Lavi grab onto the little girls left hand, and then Lika grabbed onto her right. Allen paid them one last glance, and then he realized… 'crap, I'm going to bleed out soon, I shouldn't have left it alone for so long…' Allen thought, as he tried to make the 2 mile long walk back to his house, in the beating sun.
He was waking in about the same way that Lavi had. He was really starting to feel light and fuzzy. He wasn't losing his consciousness yet. He was just losing too much blood too quickly, his body was going into shock.
(A/N You can die if your body goes into shock. If you know about rabbits, yeah its basically the same thing..)
"Man, I guess I really might not make it to my house, but, maybe I can make it to the hospital near here…" Allen said aloud when he heard,
"Oh, whats this, boy?" A tall black figure stood behind him.
"Tyki…" Allen tried to put a full sentence together, but failed miserably.
"It seems like your in a bit of a… predicament, huh boy?" Tyki asked menacingly.
"Please just let me be.." Allen said warily.
"Oh, why me, I must deeply apologize, but I can't let my enemy go, no, you won't die, but I'll make sure you want to die…" Tyki said, and that was the last thing Allen heard.
Warning: Lavi's pov
Lavi had just gotten back to the abandoned children's home, that he and his makeshift family had.
They had one wall phone that was kindly donated to them a few years back in case of emergencies. Obviously, there wouldn't be anyone's girlfriends calling, and Lavi and Lika made sure none of the girls got close to any guys. But…
Ring Ring Ring Ring…
Everyone paused. Why wa the phone ringing?
"Is everyone here?!" Lavi and Lika were yelling. Everyone was there. So, Lavi went to the phone and answered.
"Hello?" Lavi answered warily.
"Hello, this is the Noah's Ark hospital." The woman on the other side answered.
"Yes, and is there something wrong?" Lavi asked very angrily.
He could hear the woman choke up. "We were told by the police station that you were under the care of Allen walker? Is that correct?" The woman asked.
"Uh, yeah?" Lavi said questioningly. Wait, why did he care? Why is his heart beating so fast? Was he… worried? No…
"He was just put under critical care, and we would like a… Lavi to sign some papers for him." The woman answered.
"Okay, bye." Lavi quickly hung up the phone and let for the hospital.
When he got there, he was attached by a lady, presumably the one on the phone.
"I'm here to sign the papers." Lavi said, a bit uncomfortable.
"Okay, but first, please go see him… I-its believed he's not going to live. He is a friend of mine, please go s-see him f-f-for me…" The lady said. She was wearing a nurse outfit and was holding a clipboard. She had long greenish hair and it was put up in pigtails.
"Will do…" Lavi answered. What could have been so bad that it could kill him? Lavi thought. Then he realized. He had stabbed him through the shoulder… was it his fault he was on the verge of death? It couldn't be… he wouldn't be able to live with himself if it was… wait what?
He finally reached the room and was given solemn looks from all around him.
He could hear a very slow yet steady beep from the heart monitor on Allen's right. When he actually saw Allen, he froze.
It wasn't his fault he was going to die. Allen would have looked better if he were hit by a bus 3 times… he looked horrible, yet so… peaceful in his sleep.
He had 3 large gashes on his head. His left arm had been horribly mangled and burned, Lavi was surprised it was still there. There were more huge gashes on his bare chest, the stab Lavi gave him looked like a paper cut compared to them. Every inch of his body was black and blue, save for his face. His face was left alone. It seemed like he had a few broken bones. He was in abrace for broken ribs, and braces for a few broken fingers. It looked like his foot had been shattered too. A few of his cuts were still bleeding profusely.
"Damn, someone really did a number on ya didn't they 'oh great Angel'… heh Angel? I wonder what kind of angelic act you were doing to get yourself this badly hurt… saving a bird from a tree that was 100 feet up? No, you'd die if you fell from that. Got hit by a truck saving a kid? Nah, it's unlikely that you would survive that either with how small you are. Maybe you were assassinated? Funny, that could do this to you, but I highly doubt someone who's so loved by everyone as you are, could be hated enough to have someone want to do this to you…" Lavi said to the limp body.
True enough, he didn't feel anything towards this boy besides being grateful, he also felt bad because he couldn't repay him. And also, someone as young as him, someone as precious as him, someone as rare as him, was going to die. If he really genuinely wants to help people, if he were to die. This world really will be screwed. We need people like him more than ever, and yet, this beautiful light may go out in merely seconds. He will g out quietly like a camellia blossom. People may never be aware that a pure white light like him existed in the first place… what a pitiful existence…
"mmm" Lavi herd the figure on the bed mumble.
"Hey, bean sprout, you alive over there?" Lavi asked coldly.
"Lavi…?" Allens voice was raspy. It sounded like someone had ripped out his vocal cords and put rocks down his throat to replace it. It sounded horrible.
"Yeah, you got into trouble so they called me, I guess we're even for the police thing." Lavi stated.
"Yeah… I-I guess s-so…." Allen started to lose consciousness.
"Hey! If you die, I'll personally kill you! I still haven't repaid you, and I don't like being in debt!" Lavi yelled.
"Heh, you won't get rid of me that easily Lavi… can you do me a favor real quick?" Allen asked.
"Yeah, and it'll take off one of my debts to you." Lavi stated
"That's fine, but I need you to turn away, and close the curtain for me." Allen requested.
Lavi did so without any questions. About 3 minutes later, Allen asked him to open it up again.
Allen had a bottle of meds in his hand, a water bottle on the table, and a gel type thing in next to it.
"I had another request, as strange as it might seem. I need you to rub this on the large gashes on my head and… my legs… hurry, I don't think I can't hold up much longer…" Allen asked pulling the gel up to Lavi, who took it and did as he was asked.
Lavi felt disgusted rubbing this gel stuff into deep gashes, it didn't help that Allen had a pained face the whole time.
"Thank you, please wait a minute, I have one ore request of you, just give me a second. Close the curtain and turn away like before, I'll call you." Allen asked when Lavi was done. Lavi did as he was asked.
It was actually about 7 minutes before Allen said, "Okay, come back for my final request please." Lavi opened the curtains and his eyes turned wide.
Allen was out of bed, full dressed and had a big smile, like he wasn't, no like he isn't on the verge of death. 'I don't care' Lavi told himself as he waited for Allen's last request.
"You mind dropping me off at the house, oh yeah, we have to go through the window too." Allen asked with an even bigger smile.
Lavi had been playing the ' just go along with it' card, but now, he thought this was just pure idiocy. "Wait… window? Look I don't care how depressed you are or shit like that. But you can die by yourself, you can jump out the window on your own time, got it?" He asked, really it kind of hurt to tell him that. 'I shouldn't be feeling like this… I guess he's made my feelings resurface, it's just remorse for saying that I don't care if someone I know dies… nothing more'
Allen gave Lavi a bewildered look. "Die? No, we won't die from the fall, maybe a few cuts or scrapes, but, we won't die from it. I just want to get out of this place, and they won't let you out the front door with a patient still in recovery." Allen stated.
Now it was Lavi's turn to look bewildered. "Okay, I see your reasoning, but, why don't we just sneak out? It's a lot less risky."
"No, this is easiest. I don't feel like sneaking around. I'm tired and I just want to go home. I haven't fed my cat today either. And I don't want him to eat me bird either." Allen said with a sheepish smile.
"Okay, lez' get outta here kid." Lavi said picking Allen up as they prepared to jump out the window, of the sixth floor, of a twelve floor building.
"Okay, lets go," Allen said, looking down to ground below. He had definitely jumped from higher places, this was nothing.
When they jumped, Allen switched it so, he would be below Lavi, so Lavi wouldn't be hurt when they hit the ground.
"Why'd ya switch us, it could've been dangerous. You should leave jumping off buildings to the pros. Kids like you don't need to be doin' dangerous things like that anyway." Lavi stated.
"I'm 18 just like you are, and I've lived under the same roof as Cross Marian. I've had plenty of experience jumping of big things…" Allen stated with a slight pinkish tint in his cheeks from being called a kid.
"Yeah, and for my last debt to you, I'm gonna walk ya home, and make sure you're safe." Lavi said.
"Okay, thank you, Lavi. My house is about the same way as you go from the police station." Allen stated, as he and Lavi started down the 2 mile road that was ahead of them.
A few minutes in, Lavi started a conversation. "Hey, what happened to you? You were pretty banged up. Do you your injuries hurt?" He asked.
"They don't hurt. And nothing happened, I was just being clumsy is all." Allen said putting on the smile he had practiced perfecting.
"Not the clumsiest person in the world could do that to themselves." Lavi stated plainly.
"What about the clumsiest person from another planet?" Allen asked.
"Are you serious? Lil' bud, if you turn out to be some human, then I have one question. What color roses do you want at your funral?" Lavi said, hopefully joking. No, he wasn't joking.
"No, no I'm very much human." Allen said.
"Okays but who did that to you? Are you still not gonna tell me? If not, then I have nothing more to do with you, considering we're almost at your house." Lavi said.
"Nah, we'll be done here when you drop me off around the corner."
Crash~
"Hey, didn't that come from your house?" Lavi asked, noticing the crash.
"Uh, yeah, so, you wanna lend me a hand with getting my bird out of my cat's mouth?" Allen said with a sheepish smile.
"I guess," Lavi said, running to Allen's house, Allen following after.
"Cross! Let go f Timcanpy!" Allen yelled, earning a bewildered look from Lavi.
"Cross?" Lavi asked, looking at the Siberian cat. With the golden bird, was that a… phoenix?
"Yeah, It was Cross's girlfriend's cat, she names him Cross. He dropped him on me. I already had Tim from when Cross dated a park ranger." Allen stated.
"Oh, that explains things." Lavi said, grabbing the cat and prying the bird out of his mouth.
Needless to say, both animals were fine. Allen and Lavi weren't so lucky…
"I guess I'll go now." A slobber covered Lavi said to a scratched up Allen, who was holding a tranquilized cat.
"Yeah, bye." Said wet whitette answered, a they waved bye.
Allen decided he was ready to sleep. So he did. Without taking a shower, gross.
