Chapter 4: I Hate Awkwardness

Rubble surrounded them, as dust floated in small clouds around the two figures. Two men stood together only being connected through a single blade, being wielded by a bloodied hand; gripping a handle that sprouted several small wings.

The smaller said in a calm voice "Look…carefully at Alma's face" Unknowing why he said it. A soft beeping sound rang in the back of his head.

"Why is he making that face?" He asked as his mind was slowly slipping away, leaving the head aching sound only to grow louder.

"I...have no idea."

The Light faded to a black landscape, only left with the alarm calling him to open his eyes.

Allen woke with a start, and quickly smacked his hand atop the annoying alarm clock. He sat up rubbing his eyes to adjust to the morning sunlight beaming through his window. The boy sighed and smoothed his hand over the left side of his belly expecting to feel a wound.

"Expecting what? It was just a dream is all." He told himself, short after though he felt a weird pang on said side. He looked down and actually lifted his pajama shirt. Found nothing but smooth pale skin.

"Now I'm just being silly." He huffed. "It's just a cramp."

"But who's Alma?"

Allen stood in front of his locker shuffling through his bag to put away his uniform. He smiled down at the long sleeves and glove that completely covered his arm. Lavi had brought him a long-sleeved shirt the second day of school to hide the bandages on his left arm. Allen still couldn't get over how lucky he was to find a nice and awesome friend the first day. A smiled plastered his face as he locked his locker. For some reason he was in a particular good mood when he absolutely hated gym.

The boy was about to walk from his locker when a tan arm blocked his way. Allen new that arm too well.

"What do want Daisya?" He sighed

"Nothing much, just wanted to know if you were still up to going to that movie with me?" He said lamely.

"Daisya, how many times do I have to tell you, I'm not interested. Also what movie? You've been asking me that for two weeks now!"

Allen wasn't sure how long he could put up with being the polite gentleman, and just telling him to get lost. Just as he was about to refuse the guy again, he spotted Lavi passing the lockers.

"Lavi, save me!" He pleaded with his eyes. Thank god Lavi noticed him, and came behind Daisya.

"Hey if you keep dawdlin' we're gunna be marked absent you know." He said with his usual smile.

"Uh, oh, yeah sure. So Allen, think about it okay?" He said hurrying off.

"Look, I'm not going to- oh never mind." Annoyed as he was he let the soccer brained idiot go.

"Should we head out too?" Lavi mentioned.

"Yeah, I guess."

They both set out to the main gym along with the other remaining guys in the locker room. Today they were playing volleyball, another sport Allen isn't fond of, but he'll make due. He knew it was an okay sport, and there wasn't much running involved, but Allen still didn't like it. People tended to get a little competitive, and if you messed up everyone gangs up on you. Well from Allen's perspective, that's what it was like. Then again Allen never did have any good memories from gym. It was always, an excuse to sit out on the bleachers or be forced and have no choice but to participate.

Everyone was on teams now after roll call and having the coach explain the rules. Allen wasn't too happy though. Lavi ended up being on the other side of the net. All well, he'll make due.

It was about a quarter through the game, and Allen was fairing okay. The ball came towards him once or twice but he didn't dare try to get it. Besides the guys that were in sports already were doing pretty well without his help. He just felt like the game was never going to end. He was about to focus on the game again, when he heard the locker room doors slam close.

"Ah, you must be Kanda!" The coach yelled across the gym. Allen whipped around and saw no less Kanda striding over to the coach. He also noticed he was in a P.E. uniform.

"W-why is he here?" Allen stared incredulously at the long haired man trying to figure out why he was in the same class as him all of a sudden.

"Serve!" Someone across the net yelled and before he knew it he was out cold on the floor gushing blood from his nose.

It wasn't long before he woke up a again only to find a single round green eye hovering over him. Suddenly a rushing head ache formed around the area of where he was hit. He winced and noticed little paper plugs sticking out of his nose.

"Coach, he's awake now!" Lavi hollered. "Hey buddy, you comin' to?" Lavi asked, sitting by his feet.

Allen slowly sat up on the bench and proceeded to rub his aching head. "Yeah, but happened?"

"Oh, I think you spaced out for a sec' and got knocked in the head pretty hard by the volleyball." Lavi explained being a little amused.

"Oh yeah." Allen said remembering he was staring at Kanda and next thing he knew he felt a tough ball coming into contact with the side of his head.

"Wait, Kanda?" Allen realized again that Kanda was actually in the same class as him.

"Kanda? Yeah it seems he got an unexpected schedule change…Oh! Is that why you spaced out?" Lavi grinned widely at Allen's surprised look.

"W-well, yeah I was just surprised is all." Allen explained.

"Hmmm?" Lavi hummed, not really believing him.

"What?" Allen questioned.

"Oh, nothing." Lavi said. "Anyway, has your nose stopped bleedin?"

"I think." The white haired boy said. He pulled out one of the bloody plugs and tested if he was still oozing.

"Nope, I think it stopped." Allen said taking out the other.

"Good!" Lavi smile, happy that his friend was okay. "You hit your head pretty hard on the floor there, I was a little worried." Lavi smiled.

"Well, I'm okay now." He reassured his red headed friend.

After that Allen had to sit out the remainder of the hour while Lavi had to go back to playing the game. He sat there pressing the bag of ice the coach had brought over to him and flicked short glances over at Kanda. He stood idly around, a permanent frown was plastered on his face, and looking just completely bored. Allen wondered if he would ever smile. Just a little bit.

A few minutes went by until the coach blew his whistle telling everyone to set their balls on the rack and head into the locker room. The boy felt relieved that it was over and proceeded to head to the locker room. Everyone rushed in after him to hurry and change. Allen just casually and like every day, unlocked his locker and grabbed his uniform out. But just as he was going to undress he caught a curtain someone out of the corner of his eye. Allen froze in the middle of undressing. Just two lockers to his left was no other than Kanda changing.

Allen just stood there with his shirt half on. "W-why am I getting all nervous? There's nothing weird or strange about changing in from of other guys in a locker room, even him." He told himself. Allen shook off his uneasiness and continued with what he was doing. But Allen glanced again over at Kanda again. His eyes widened. There was a weird looking black tattoo over his left peck and just as he quickly looked away, he felt the same pang on his left that was there that morning. He soon felt some weird déjà-vu and dizziness rush through his head also the confusing dream flashed past his memory.

The sound of a metal door slamming shut awoke him from his dream like trance. He watched the broad shoulders and swishing of hair leave the locker area towards the front doors. Allen slumped down on the bench trying to recollect himself and noticed his hands shaking. Lavi soon walked up to him worried he was feeling sick from earlier.

"Hey you sure you're feelin' all right? I could take you to the nurse if you feel sick." Lavi said worried

"No, I just got a little dizzy is all." He said rubbing the back of his neck reassuring him. He really did feel sick though, and his head was spinning like crazy, but he didn't want to trouble Lavi then he already had.

"You positive? Your face is really pale."

Allen laughed nervously. "My face is always pale."

"Hm. True. Alright, if you say so." He said, not convinced at all. "But you better finish getting dressed, the bell is going to ring in a little bit."

"Yeah." Allen finished. He hurried buttoning up his shirt and flipped the peach colored sweater vest on right before the bell rang.

Everyone filed out of the locker room and Lavi and Allen went their separate ways. It was 3rd hour history, one of the subjects he actually enjoyed but made him fall asleep occasionally. The white haired boy entered the classroom and almost fell. There, right in the back of the class room was Kanda sitting at a desk staring out the window.

"W-what in the world is going? Why is he in TWO of my classes?" Allen yelled to himself. The bell was about to ring so he quickly brushed it off and went to his seat. During the entire lecture though, Allen started feeling the unknown pang on his side again. He continuously rubbed it, hoping it would go away.

The British boy got through yet again another hour, but to his surprise, Kanda ended up being in his 4th hour Math class also.

"Really? Are you serious?" Allen wasn't sure how to make of this. Not only did he have a weird pang on his side, but Kanda, of all people just suddenly shows up in three of his classes.

"Bloody stomach! Go away stupid pain!" He thought annoyed. He sat there trying to pay attention to the lesson and ignore the strange feeling.

The lecture ended early and the students had time to chat with others before the bell rang. Allen looked behind and noticed Kanda wasn't really talking to anyone. Well that's understandable; he isn't the friendliest looking guy around. Then again there were also those rumors Lavi told him about. It was very understandable. But Allen made it his goal to be more open and outgoing when he came to America, so he threw away the rumors he heard for a second and picked up his courage to sit and try to talk to him a bit. And the Asian did save him that time. It would be awkward if he never said anything to him again, having him in three of his classes after all.

So Allen went and sat at an empty desk by Kanda, in hopes of trying to start up some small talk.

"Um, hey there! How's…it going?" Allen said, unsure how to talk to start. "Did you get a schedule change or something? We haven't been in the same class before so…" To Allen's surprise he didn't respond. Actually he didn't even glance at him or even bat an eye lid.

"Is he ignoring me?" Allen thought. He started to think the guy was just prick when the bell rang. Allen gave up and decided to try next time. As everyone was rushing out the door Kanda whipped out his iPod and proceeded to scroll through a series of songs on his way to class.

All day, the white haired boy was feeling that pain on his side. He tried drinking some water at lunch and even thought it was just gas. And no matter how much he rubbed, the feeling wouldn't go away. He was sure his side was nice and red from all the friction. Plus that same dream kept coming to mind.

Allen sighed for the billionth time that day.

"Head still sore?" Lavi figured. It was already after school and they were walking home. Apparently the library was closed.

"No, it's just, the side of my stomach has been aching."

"You should eat more vitamins." Lavi concluded, as if he some high class doctor.

Allen chuckled. "I don't think that's the case Lavi."

Suddenly Lavi let out a random gasp. "Ohh! Look who it is!" He exclaimed.

It was yet again Kanda, walking in front of them a few meters away. "Let's go say hi!"

"Wait! Lavi!" Before he could stop him his red headed friend went bouncing up to the disgruntled male.

"YO! What's up?" Lavi said stopping the other in his tracks. Kanda didn't say anything but gave the bunny boy a stern glare.

"Lavi, don't just run off like that!" Allen said coming up from behind. Lavi quickly grabbed Allen by the shoulders and shoved him in front of the glaring man.

"This is Allen Walker! The guy you saved yesterday!" There was a pause.

"…So?" Kanda finally replied with a deep voice.

"So I just wanted to thank you for saving the little guy. If it wasn't for you he'd be ground meant!" Lavi laughed throwing an arm around the long haired man's neck. "Neh, what do you say you stick around with us, I'm sure Allen could use the protection!" He laughed again.

"Um, Lavi…" Allen tried to warn. He wasn't sure Lavi could sense the dangerous aura Kanda was emitting from him. Kanda quickly grabbed the blabbing rabbit by the collar and pushing him off, sending him toppling to the ground.

"Don't fucking touch me." He growled. Lavi sat up meeting his eye with fierce glaring ones.

"Well, see you later Allen!" Lavi said running away as fast as he could for his life.

And so Allen was left there awkwardly with Kanda. He wasn't sure what to say so he stood there, staring dumbly at the sidewalk. Kanda didn't feel the need to say anything more so he continued walking like he was before the bouncing idiot troubled him. He walked about four feet but stopped.

"You walk this way don't you?"

Allen jumped a bit. "Eh? Ah…yeah" He said unsure at what he was getting at.

"Then quit idling around and come on." The annoyed man said but mumbling the last part.

"Um, sure" Allen agreed a little surprised it was okay to walk with him. The white haired boy timidly walked a step or two behind the long haired male for about two blocks when he came to the street he had to turn down to the apartment complex. He stopped to look at Kanda to motion that he was turning; Kanda glanced at him understanding and kept on walking. But without thinking Allen uttered.

"Will you be at school tomorrow?"

Kanda gave him a quick look.

"Maybe" He said and kept on walking.

Allen went on walking too, satisfied with his answer. Though, as Allen was on his way he felt a strange happiness bloom inside him and his steps had a slight skip. A sweet smile curled on his face. He didn't know why, but he felt awfully cheerful on the way home, and the rest of the night, he didn't once feel that unknown pain.

It was the next day and gym class had just started. Like Allen expected Kanda was there too. Upon seeing Kanda too Lavi was close to glomping him until Kanda almost pummeled him into the wall. Allen tried his best to him.

They were playing volleyball once again but put into different teams; Allen was on Kanda's side and Lavi was on the other.

"Don't get in my way." Kanda said.

"Oh I wouldn't dream of it." Allen said sarcastically.

Through the progression of the game Kanda didn't hesitate to go after the ball when it came his way. He nailed it over the net with ease and the others didn't dare to get too close. Allen wondered why he was so much more energetic than yesterday, and then he realized why when he spiked the ball and hit Lavi square in the face. Allen laughed at Kanda's satisfied look and Lavi's whining.

"Coach~! Yuu is bulling me!" Lavi whined loudly.

"Don't fucking call me that!" Kanda yelled and proceeded to strangle Lavi with his collar. Allen on the other hand couldn't stop laughing at their antics.

"And what are you laughing at?" Kanda glared at Allen. He wasn't fazed at all but started giggling instead.

It was like that the rest of the period and Lavi having a bruised nose in the end. Two more periods had passed and Allen was disappointed that he didn't get a chance to converse with the black haired boy, but as he predicted, he found Kanda reaching the school gates afterschool.

"Kanda" The boy yelled to get his attention.

Said person slowly turned around to greet to smaller boy.

"Hey, you want to hang around with Lavi and me for a bit?"

"Why?" he simply asked.

"Why? Well, to hang out and all. That's why.

"Tch, no thanks" He grunted and left the pouting British boy behind.

Allen was sure that he would accept. They spent enough time in P.E. to know each other. Allen shrugged. He figured he would get him next time.
