"Okay, guys, kiss now!"

Two simultaneous groans echoed throughout the room, along with a chorus of giggles. Allen Walker, a fifteen-year-old sophomore and the youngest male of the group raised one white eyebrow slowly. "Do we have to?" Lavi, who was seventeen, a senior, and the guy he apparently had to kiss, made a noise in the back of his throat.

"I'm hurt, Allen-chan!" The redhead held a hand to his chest and made a sad expression. "But yeeeeeah, you may be cute, but I'm just not into kissing guys. If ya know what I mean!" And in case he didn't, Lavi gave a sultry wink (from what Allen could tell, anyway) and waggled his eyebrows at the curvy female sitting next to him.

"No offense taken, Lavi," Allen assured with a chuckle.

Lenalee whined loudly, clasping her hands together and making the most outrageous puppy-dog eyes Allen had ever seen. "Aww, but you guys have to! It's spin the bottle!"

"No," both males said at the same time, deadpan. "I would rather kiss Kanda," Allen added after another moment of the puppy-dog eyes staring at him.

It was then that all noise seemed to stop. Every girl and every boy in the small hotel room was silent, and so Allen squeaked, "What?"

"You… want to kiss Kanda?" Lenalee couldn't believe her ears. Allen was talking about Yuu Kanda, of course – the tall eighteen-year-old Japanese senior, right? There was no other Kanda that went to their school, of course.

"Eh?" If it was even possible, Allen paled. "No, no, no! you've got it all wrong!" He waved his hands in front of his face frantically, feeling the venomous aura behind him make the hair on the back of his neck prickle. 'I didn't say I wanted to kiss him; I said I would rather kiss him. You see?" He laughed nervously.

"Once again, I'm hurt…" Lavi muttered.

"Am I not good enough for you to want to kiss me, beansprout?"

Allen froze, slowly turning around to face Kanda with a small smile and flat, narrowed eyes. "Why, of course, Kanda. Maybe if you changed your attitude, things would be different."

Many "ooohs" escaped the lips of the other teenagers in the room, and Kanda raised one eyebrow.

Lavi elbowed Lenalee lightly in the side. "Ooh, look, Allen-chan is standing up to Yuu-chan!"

"It's Allen!"

"Call me that again and I'll be sure to stab Mugen up your ass, idiot rabbit."

Allen's silver eyes glinted mischievously. "Are you gay, Kanda?"

"What the fuck are you talking about, stupid beansprout?"

Sensing the murderous atmosphere, Lenalee intervened with a nervous laugh. "Okay, time to get on with the game. Come on, Allen, kiss Kanda."

"What?" Allen exclaimed frantically, looking at Lenalee like she was crazy. "No!"

"You have to kiss someone." Lenalee sighed, exasperated. "You can't kiss me because we all know Komui would find out somehow. You already said no to Lavi, so only Kanda is left. That is, unless you want to kiss a stranger."

Apparently, many of the girls would've liked that.

"Dammit, beansprout, quit being such a pussy. It's just a kiss!" Kanda growled, and before Allen had time to be shocked about his nonchalance, the Japanese man grabbed his tie and yanked him forward.

Their lips connected roughly, and since Allen's eyes were still wide open, he was surprised to find Kanda's own midnight orbs slide shut. After a moment he let his shut, too, and he responded to the lips sliding over his own.

Allen fisted his hands through the other boy's long ponytail, and he couldn't help the small moan that escaped his lips.

Lenalee, Lavi, and all the other teenagers watched, half-horrified, half-shocked, and only slightly turned on (though no one would admit it) as the two boys made out.

"Um… beansprout? Yuu?" Lavi coughed awkwardly, and even the detested names didn't get their attention. "You guys? You can stop now…"

Allen's eyes opened for only a moment though he still slid his tongue across Kanda's, and they flickered to Lavi. Allen winked, closed his eyes again, and tilted his head back to deepen the kiss. Lo and behold, Kanda was a damn great kisser, and like hell Allen was going to stop. He'd just gotten started.
