A/N: Just a couple quick things: 1) I changed the title slightly because this new one makes more sense, I think. And 2) I'm not sure if the Polish phrases in this chapter are completely correct since I pulled them from memory.

The awkward tension in the train compartment was nearly tangible enough to cut through with Kanda's Mugen. The cause was rather simple; Allen, Kanda, Lavi, and I were put on this same mission. The Finder was very lucky that I had advised him to get his own compartment.

'We've only been traveling for 6 minutes…and we have another two and a half hours to go,' I sobbed, shifting a little in discomfort. Though I was surprised that I wasn't in a foul mood from being in close proximity to Kanda after those incidents last week, I had to do something or I was going to suffocate.

I cleared my throat to get their attention. "So uh…how are we gonna go about killing Komui when we get back?"

If anything, it seemed to make the miasma of anxiety thicken. No one laughed at my lame attempt at lightening the mood, not that it was very funny in the first place. But I couldn't give up just yet.

And why the hell was Lavi being so quiet? Usually he would be ricocheting off the walls with excitement and teasing Kanda and poor Allen.

Taking a quick glance at him, I saw that he was looking out the window with a pensive expression. 'What could he possibly be thinking of?' I wondered. 'Oh whatever, I have got to get out of here.'

"Um…I'm going to…uh…explore the train! Yeah, that's it! Explore the train," I chuckled nervously, getting up and slowly backing up towards the door. Truthfully, I was planning on finding the Finder and staying with him for the remainder of the trip, not that the others needed to know that. I turned to open it when no one reacted and jumped in surprise when someone grabbed my wrist.

"I'll come with you," Lavi explained when he met my curious gaze, standing up as well. He still seemed a little sullen, though his sudden action caused the other occupants of the compartment to snap out of their trance.

"Think of it as our second date~!" He cheered, suddenly all happy and smiley. Lavi was really bipolar at times.

"Whoa, wait! You two are dating?" Allen nearly fell of his seat next to Kanda in shock. Kanda, however, was giving both Lavi and I a nasty glare, ignoring Allen completely. I guessed that it was for causing a ruckus.

"Nie! I-" I tried to explain, flailing my arms around at the misunderstanding. [1] I didn't really know why I was so flustered about it. But I know that this was NOT how I wanted to lighten the mood.

"Of course, moyashi. Kasia's so cu~te!" Lavi squealed, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me to him. Allen was too shocked to yell at Lavi for calling him 'moyashi'.

"Lavi! Don't confuse the poor boy! No, Allen, we aren't dating. Lavi just keeps saying that. I don't know why, though," I said, dispelling any doubts that could have formed in Allen's head as I smacked Lavi upside his head.

"Awww. What are you talking about? Aren't we heading to Paris? You know, the city of love~" He wiggled his eyebrows and made kissy faces.

"Jesteś idiotą," I said, pulling out of his grasp and back towards the door. [2]

He replied with the cliché, "But I'm you're idiot." It surprised me for a moment that he understood me before I remembered that Lavi knew Polish as well.

I slid open the door and stepped into the walkway. "Are you coming with me or not?" I asked scornfully, looking back into the compartment.

Lavi gave Kanda a taunting smirk, swinging his arm around your shoulders. The evil aura that had been surrounding Kanda the entire trip so far flared, making me worry about the safety of the white-haired boy we were leaving behind.

"Um, Lavi? Maybe we should-"

Lavi, seeming to know what I was going to ask, quickly shut the door before I could invite Allen to come with us.

"Let's go! Go! Go!"

'Oh no. Not again.' I panicked as we trudged off to explore.

Two hours later, I was pleasantly surprised to admit that the 'date' wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Unlike that time a week ago, which Lavi referred to as our 'first date', he was very mild-mannered. He kept me entertain with random, yet interesting, trivia from his vast compilation of knowledge. He even conversed with me in my native language, which proved to be very refreshing.

When we had roughly thirty minutes left for the train ride, he decided it would best to return to the compartment. I, however, dreaded returning to the uncomfortable atmosphere. I planned on walking him back, checking to make sure Allen was okay, and then going back to my original plan of finding the Finder, whose name I really should find out.

As we arrived outside of the compartment, I didn't hear anything, which unnerved me and made me worry that leaving Allen with Kanda really was a bad idea.

Without warning, Lavi spun me around and slammed my back into the wall next to the door, causing a loud, metallic bang to resound in the hall. Before I could yell at him for the abrupt action, his lips were pressed harshly against mine.

I didn't move. Instead, I had a very delayed realization that Lavi had stolen my first kiss. And on Valentine's Day of all days.

I was so struck by that thought that I hadn't realized he pulled away and was walking back into the compartment as if nothing happened.

As I came back to my senses, I looked frantically around the hallway. Luckily, no one was in the hall and other passengers didn't seem to hear the noise and look. But then I remembered that I was outside our compartment and took a quick glance at the window.

Allen was gawking in my direction, doubts of my prior explanation flitting rapidly through his mind. And Kanda…

'Oh no! His evil cloud of doom just grew tenfold! And he's unsheathing Mugen! I didn't even do anything to him!' Filled with fear, embarrassment, and exhaustion at the thought having to explain this to the other two Exorcists, I ran off in the direction I remembered the Finder had gone.
