-Chp. 5-
"Your fever is gone now Kanda." Lenalee explained, having come in to check up on Kanda. It had been a little over two months since they found out Kanda was pregnant, three since he became pregnant in the first place.
Kanda had been laying in bed for the past fourty-eight hours, suffering with body pains and aches from his body changing. The hormones were changing and and the whole process was taking it's toll on Kanda. He refused to let Lavi see him while it was happening though, he was scared. He didn't want Lavi to see him go through all the pain.
"I know... I'm happy it's all over with, but not happy with a results." the Japanese muttered, rolling over onto his side and feeling a pain in his chest. His breasts had developed, and he hated it. He just couldn't be a simple 36B like Lenalee, he had to be a 36C.
"I brought you a whole new wardrobe... you might need help with the, um, bra though." Lenalee knew of Kanda's concerns and she was unsure about it all. She was afraid to ask, but her and Kanda had become closer. Kanda had gotten his ears and tail back, but he was used to those.
"I hate having them!" Kanda complained, sitting up from the bed with a frown. He only wore a baggy shirt and shorts borrowed from Lenalee. His pants had gotten too big on him, but the shirts still fit.
"It's okay. I'll help, now, off with the shirt." Lenalee said as if it were completely normal, but she did give a joking laugh. Kanda didn't want to expose himself that willingly to her. But he knew she could be trusted.
"This is embarrassing..." Kanda said while sliding the shirt off and placing his hands over his extended chest. He had gotten his curves and hips back also. After Lenalee had showed him how to place the bra on he was all set with getting dressed the rest of the way.
Lenalee helped him choose what to wear, so he ended up wearing black pants and a long sleeve dark red top. Kanda wasn't all to comfortable with his body anymore, his stomach being a nice little bump now.
"You look pretty Kanda. I know you're not used to it all yet, but you really do look good. Better than ever, pregnancy suits you." Lenalee said with a bright smile and a hug. She had been so helpful lately Kanda had to hug her back. "I want to say cute, but you might not like that."
"Thanks Lenalee, you're the only person I can go to when I have, eh, 'womanly' problems now." Kanda spoke with a laugh, she just smiled brightly at him.
"Now, it's no use to keep Lavi worried and waiting." Lenalee spoke while taking Kanda's hand and leading him out the door. "He's been begging me to let him see you, he's really worried." Lenalee continued talking, leading Lavi to Allen's room.
Lavi had been staying with Allen while Kanda went through all the changes. He had no where else to stay and Allen was nice enough to offer.
Lenalee did a short knock before opening the door and poking her head in. She didn't really expect the boys to be awake, but she didn't expect what she saw either. Lavi and Allen were snuggled together on the bed, Lavi's arm over Allen's waist and Allen cuddled against Lavi's chest. Lenalee doubted the guys even noticed but if Kanda saw... shit.
Kanda stood next to Lenalee, looking at Lavia and Allen and taking in the whole entire sight before him. Feeling tears well up in his eyes he forced himself to walk out of the room, leaving the sight behind him as he leaned against the wall just outside of the door. His ears where down against his head, showing the sadness that he felt. Crumpling to the floor, he could hear Lenalee waking them up.
"Allen! Lavi! Get up now!" Lenalee shouted, peeved that Kanda had become so emotional and that the guys had to fix it. Lavi blinked his eyes and looked over to see Allen and immediately freaked out and fell off the bed, waking Allen.
"Moyashi what the hell where you doing cuddled up to my chest?" Lavi shouted, not realizing Lenalee was there. Allen looked just as shocked.
"Why did you have your arm around me?" Allen shouted back, but shut up when he noticed Lenalee's dark aura. Lavi looked behind himself to see her, and she was clearly pissed.
"Obviously you two did not notice it yourselves, but Kanda and I sure saw. I think you two should be ashamed, you made Kanda cry. Lavi, how do you think he feels about this?" Lenalee scolded, her arms crossed over her chest. Lavi quickly shot upright, a look of worry upon his face.
"Where is he?" he quickly asked Lenalee, needing an asnwer. She just pointed outside of the door and Lavi went out. Lenalee shut the door and proceeded with yelling at Allen.
"Yu..." Lavi whispered slightly, watching his love's shoulders quiver as his face was hidden by his hands. Kanda was crying, and Lavi knew it was his fault. He didn't even notice Kanda's new body shape, he just wanted the tears to stop.
Sinking down to his knees his pulled Kanda into a hug. Stroking his head between the ears like always. Kanda clinged to him and continued to cry softly, waiting for the tears to stop before he would speak.
"I know it was accidental... it just hurt to see you like that with someone else." Kanda said sadly, still holding onto Lavi. Lavi had moved so that he was leaning against the wall with Kanda in his lap. Kanda's black tail was wrapped around Lavi's arm that was around his waist.
"I still have to say sorry, I was shocked too. I love you." Lavi said gently, giving Kanda a kiss on the forehead. Kanda blushed lightly and looked up at Lavi. "How are you feeling now?" the red head asked.
"Better, if you didn't notice the changes." Kanda spoke softly, resting his head back upon Lavi's chest and listening to his heartbeat.
"Yeah, I did. You know this reminds me of old times... except now I have two other people to worry about." Lavi said while moving his hand down and placing it on Kanda's stomach. Kanda placed his hand over Lavi's and purred in the back of his throat lightly, licking Lavi's cheek. Lavi was shocked and Kanda saw that.
"Eh... impulse?" Kanda offered as an apology, not sure why he did it to begin with. Lavi just laughed a licked his cheek back. They both quickly shot away from each other when they heard Lenalee's "Awww".
"You both are too adorable!" Lenalee said with a laugh, her pigtails bouncing. Lavi and Kanda stood up, and that's when Allen and Lavi really saw the changes in Kanda.
"Strike!" Lavi shouted his normal phrase.
"Wow." Allen gaped, checking Kanda out before Lavi noticed and sent a glare his way.
"Che." Kanda said, crossing his arms over his newly developed chest and flushing slightly. Lenalee just laughed after being used to Kanda for so long. Everyone else was going to have some trouble with getting used to it. That, and having someone more pretty than Lenalee around.
"So..." Lavi started off awkwardly, not sure of what to say at all. Kanda laughed a bit at him and walked over to take his hand.
"I could always go for a walk..." Kanda offered slightly, not sure exactly what to do. He wasn't hungry, he wasn't tired, and he wasn't going to train being pregnant and all. Swishing his tail around he waited for a response from anyone.
"Okay, but we should grab you a jacket first. I don't want you catching a cold." Lavi said with a grin, placing his arm over Kanda's shoulders.
"O-okay..." Kanda said, suddenly embarrassed about Lavi's show of affection. He forgot about Allen and Lenalee as he was lead away by Lavi.
-Break-
As Lavi and Kanda were walking past Komui's office, he decided to poke his head out.
"Ah, Lavi. Just the person I was looking for." Komui said, a remotely sinister look glinting behind his glasses. Lavi and Kanda stopped and looked at him. "I have a mission for you Lavi." Komui said with a chuckle, holding out the folder with all the information in it.
"What about me?" Kanda asked curiously, hoping Lavi didn't have to leave him. It would sadden him to great lengths.
"You can't expect me to send a person of your health on a mission. Now now, run along. Lavi, you look over those papers. Bye for now." Komui smiled before disappearing behind the now closed door. Kanda immediately latched onto Lavi's arm, turning them around to go back to their room.
"We're looking at this now." Kanda said, voice emitting some of the worry he felt. Lavi let himself be dragged, currently worrying himself over what the mission would be. No way was he going to leave Kanda alone for a long time.
-Kanda's POV-
"One month! Are you kidding me?" I shouted out, pissed at what I had just been read. Lavi had to go on a one month long mission, trying to find some innocence. What's worse is that he was sent with Lenalee, my other line of hope when I didn't have Lavi. This couldn't be worse. Wait, yes it could. He has to leave the day after tomorrow.
I felt tears prickle my eyes and drip down my cheek, damn mood swings. I crouched down and rested on my knees, focusing on calming down.
"Hey, it's all right. Don't cry, please." Lavi spoke gently, getting up from the bed and walking over to wrap me in a hug. I leaned into him and my tears stopped, lucky for me.
"I'll miss you... and Lenalee, she's my only other hope and both of you will be gone." I mumbled into his shirt, basking in his scent. He always smelled like cinnamon with a hint of chocolate, and I loved it.
"Oh... that's right. Now who is going to help you out?" Lavi asked himself more than he asked me. I instantly came to one conclusion, and I knew I didn't like it. I was sure Lavi had also realized who. We both spoke it at the same time.
"Allen."
-Break-
They day for Lavi and Lenalee to leave had finally arrived. I wasn't really coping with it well, having to live with Allen for the next month pissed me off. But what is the worst is that Lavi is leaving me... Oh boy...
-Normal POV-
"Kanda! You have to let go!" Lenalee shouted at the asian who was currently clutching to Lavi's leg in a last attempt the make him stay. Lavi would take a step and drag Kanda, gently, being careful of the baby.
"No!" Kanda shouted, shaking his head an clinging tighter to Lavi's leg. With a shout the redhead toppled over onto his back, Kanda hopping up to hold him down. Lavi wanted to struggle but he didn't want Kanda getting hurt.
"Kanda, get off of him." Allen said, also being in the whole 'tussle' Kanda had stirred up. Kanda refused to listen so Allen reached out the grab Kanda near the hips and pull him off. It happened to be a bad move on the teenagers part.
Having an unknown feral instinct kick in, Kanda felt as if his babies life was endangered. Spinning off of Lavi and out of Allen's reach, he pounced upon the teen, biting the first thing closest in reach. It happened to be Allen's forearm, his human one.
The teen let out a shout pulling his now bleeding arm away from the bite. Kanda wasn't sure how to react, but he knew he was pulled back by his hair and placed in a tight hold.
"Kanda, snap out of it!" Lavi shouted, not angry, but scared of what was happening with his lover. Kanda shook his head and blinked his eyes, finally regaining his bearings.
He looked down at Allen, who was sitting up by now. Lenalee was fussing over his new wound and checking on it. Lavi was holding him back.
"I..." Kanda whispered out before spinning in Lavi's grasp and burying his face into Lavi's chest, crying once again. Allen's face softened as he watched the scene, already forgiving Kanda. Pushing Lenalee away, he asked Lavi to let go of Kanda just by showing his emotions. Lavi nodded and pushed Kanda away slightly, getting him to look at Allen.
Looking down just a bit, Kanda wiped the tears from his dark blue eyes and sniffled slightly. Allen just gave a soft smile and hugged Kanda shortly before letting his arms drop.
"It's okay Kanda, that was my fault." Allen consoled, making Kanda calm down. He really got over emotional about things.
"Okay..." Kanda said with another sniffle, turning back to hug Lavi. "I'll miss you La-kun. I love you." Kanda said sadly, giving the redhead a lick on the cheek. Lenalee giggled in the background and Allen adverted his eyes.
"I'll miss you too Yu-chan. I love you so much." Lavi said, pulling Kanda in for a tighter embrace before letting go.
"Ready to go?" Lenalee asked with a smile, watching as Lavi nodded his head yes.
Allen and Kanda stood back and watched them leave, a few more tears clouding his vision. Lavi choose that moment to dart back by Kanda's side once more.
"Take this for me, just so you have something of mine in case anything happens on this mission." Lavi spoke while slipping his black, aqua designed bandanna off of his head and handed it to Kanda. Leaning in for one more quick kiss, he ran to catch up with Lenalee.
Looking down at the accessory in his hand Kanda felt more tears fall and land on the soft material. "Baka usagi..." Kanda whispered to himself, gripping onto it tighter.
