Chapter Four

"Allen-ku~un!" I was nearly tackled by two crying women. We had just finished eating lunch and I was talking with my fellow exorcists to 'catch on' like Lenalee had said, though it was not a surprise that Kanda had not said a word but it was not the case for a certain Bookman Jr who had kept silent the whole while and as far from me as possible. Lenalee had even asked him if he was alright which he only responded with a shrug and a laugh. Then, Mairie-san and Kelly-san had come rushing in, startling everyone, and taken me into a suffocating hold. I could see in the corner of my eye shishou's eyebrow twitching which nearly made me smirk. "Allen-kun, why didn't you tell us that you were going back? Don't leave us!" Kelly-san pleaded.

"Er... well, it's not that I have a choice anyway," I managed to say from the suffocating embrace of both women, "It's not like I'll never come to see everyone if I come here again." I flashed my brightest smile to reassure them.

"Well, then," Mairie-san said while the both of them let go of me, "If you promise to visit us again, then we'll let you go..."

"You don't have a say in all this," I suddenly heard, making me jump. Master had stood up from his place on the window sill and was walking towards us. The other exorcists were all starring at us with curious eyes. In moral circumstances, women would usually be drooling over shishou while he was flirting with them. But since we had gotten together, he had stopped all of that. Instead the others were seeing women (Kelly-san and Mairie-san) clinging to me and master glaring at them. So they were certainly confused about it all...

"Cross Marian!" Both women exclaimed with venom n their voice. Then, he three of them engaged themselves into a glaring contest, leaving me to sweat drop in the corner...

After everything had calmed down, Mairie-san and Kelly-san had stayed with us until the restaurant closed, much to my master's dismay. They got along pretty well with the other exorcists too. Then, it was finally time for all of us to retire to our bedrooms. Miranda and Lenalee shared a room while Bookman and Lavi shared another. Marie and Choaji had a room together while Marshall Tiedoll and Kanda had a room each. I wished my goodnight to everyone and quickly hurried to my own room behi9nd shishou.

No sooner had I closed the door behind me than I was literally attacked by master as he started kissing my neck from behind me, with his hands around my waist. I let him continue willingly, placing my hands on his and closing my eyes. Moments later, he suddenly swirled me around and kissed me fully on the lips. I kissed him back.

The kiss was not rushed, but instead it was gentle and full on love. His hold tightened around my waist when we had to part we were both panting heavily while starring into each other's eyes. I wanted to drown myself into his brown eye as it was so captivating behind his glasses.

Moments later, master buried his face in between my neck and shoulder, holding me even tighter than before. I felt him take a deep breath and then sighing, making me shiver from the sensation.

"This is our last free night together," I suddenly heard him say, making me tense. I already knew that as we were going back to the Order, it would be difficult for us to spend time together without it seeming suspicious. But I really did not want to think about it.

"I don't want to go back," I said quietly, "I want to stay with you." He looked backed into my eyes, before kissing me softly on the forehead.

"I want to stay with you too," he mumbled. He took me by the hand and dragged me towards the bed on which he sat on, with his back against the headboard, making me sit comfortably on his lap, facing each other. "We can at least make the better of this night," he said with a smirk I knew oh-so well.

I laid comfortably on the bed, nuzzling into master's bare chest, with my hand around his waist and his around my shoulder. We had been silent for some time now but it was not awkward but instead, relaxing. I wanted so much not to go to the Order as we would not be having this kind of moment together, that I wanted to cry.

"Master...?" I called quietly. He hummed, indicating that he was listening and that I could continue. "I want to spend more time with you than usual, at headquarters. Can we?" I stared up at him, waiting for his answer.

"I don't care about what those idiots of the Order think about it," he stated. He the kissed me on the forehead and added, "We'll spend as much time together as possible, either they like it or not." I giggled, giving him a peck on the cheek and nuzzling closer to him.

The next day, we all ate breakfast early and then left for headquarters. We arrived three days later. Lavi had not even said a word to me but I often caught him starring at me from the corner of my eyes, especially when I was with Shishou.

Upon arriving at headquarters, I was given back my old room and Master, one of the General's of course. At night, I could not sleep alone in my room and would always sneak to Master's when everyone would be asleep. On the first night, I had found master sitting on a couch in his room, facing the door, as if he had been waiting for me. Since then, I always went to his room to sleep.

Those at headquarters became a bit suspicious as I would always be in master's room if I had no mission. It was unexpected for them all as before being with shishou, I had always been complaining about him and now I was always in his company willingly.

Lenalee had asked me what could have happened the whole time I had been in Russia as on the day I had left, I had seemed down and now I was clearly happier than before. I had simply shrugged it off as I did not care about what they all thought as long as I had master. But maybe I should have.

On that day, I had gone to master's room again. I was sitting on the couch, reading a book, with master laying beside me with his head on my lap. Tim was resting on master's stomach. It was all peaceful. I knew shishou was getting quite bored. So it was not a surprise when he got off me and started kissing me. I kissed back of course, my book left forgotten and we somehow changed position on the couch so that I was laying under master with my hands around his neck and my fingers intertwined into his soft red hair. I could hear Timcanpy fluttering nearby. Master's left hand slipped under my shirt and he let his right hand rest on my waist.

Suddenly, I heard the door being jerked open and several gasps. Master and I quickly parted and separated ourselves from each other half-heartedly. I sat up and looked towards the door fearfully. My heart beat increasedwhen I sawnKomui, Lenalee, Krory, Miranda, Reever, Bookman and Lavi, starring at us wide-eyed, escept for Bookman who was as expressionless as always.i did not know what to do or say. So I stayed quiet, resting my hands on my lap, waiting for the inevitable.

"Allen-kun...?" Komui started unsure, "what was that just now?" I could see master taking a cigarette out and lighting it from the corner of my eyes and started smoking. He might seem calm, but I knew better.

"What does it seem to you, Komui?" Master asked before taking a sip of his death stick. I had always tried to make him stop but it had all been in vain...

"So it was true..." Komui stated more to himself, "A finder has reported that he has seen you two doing some intimate acts in a deserted hallway two days ago. We were positive that it was not true but now we have the proof. You do know that those working for the Order serve God and if the word goes to the Vatican we'll all be in deep trouble. Well, personally I have nothing against homosexuality but this is pedophilia and it's inacceptable."
Allen is already legal," master stated, surprising everyone by using my first name, "He is sixteen now."

"Yes, but there is too many years of difference between you two that we cannot allow it. I am sorry but we are forced to separate the both of you. Allen-kun will be under the acre of General Tiedoll from now on. And you will not be allowed to see each other."

I felt my heart skip a beat. My eyes widened from shock and I could feel my hands trembling on my lap. No way! He could not be serious. Everything around me became silent, though I was sure that master was yelling at Komui as I could see him from the corner of my eyes, but I could not hear any sound. The only thing I could hear was the beating sound if my heart which had increased.

Two weeks... It had been two weeks since master and I had gotten separated. He had done his best so that we could get back together, but it had all been in vain. I had tried to sneak off to his room several times, but I always got caught. Why was it that everything around me wanted my unhappiness? For once I was happy again, they had to take everything away from me...

The General Tiedoll had started training me instead of master. He was a nice man but still, he was not my lover. It had pained me to be under someone else's care but still I did not lose hope. One day, we would be able to be together again.

Everyone at headquarters had been informed of everything. That was why I was not able to see master as each time I tried, someone would see me and prevent me to.

I had started hating this so-called 'home'. How could a place where I was not even allowed to see my most important person be considered my home? It was true that I had my friends and all, but I did not have master. Sometimes I would catch Lenalee looking at me with an apologetic glint in her eyes. She knew how I was feeling.
