NOTES :D : TWO DOWN, NINETY EIGHT TO GO! This is LOVE. I have no idea where I was going with it when I started on it, but I like the part with the cake! ENJOY!



There was no room for love. Love was a ridiculous emotion that made the crazy nights spent beneath satin sheets complicated. Because love was a two way street, and there was the problem. There were three of them. Love was unconditionally spending the rest of your life with that one person who made you happier than you had never been before. One person, not two.

And falling in love meant that somebody was going to be left out, alone. The only question was who? Who was going to be that one?

Laying beneath silky, crimson sheets in between Kanda and Tyki, Lavi tried to figure what would happen if love really did get involved in whatever mess he had found himself in. But maybe love had always been there. It was a strange thought, to think that three people could be in love. It was illogical, it was absurd. Except that was the basis of everything that happened between the three.

Because Kanda and Lavi were best friends, and Lavi had just met Tyki in a club one night. Everybody had expected Kanda and Lavi to fall in love. Their friends had joked about it for as long as they could remember. But they weren't in love, were they?

No. Of course not. But maybe they were slightly. After all, there had to be some kind of love there for them to be as close as they were, both emotionally and physically. They had kissed before, many times. In fact, they had kissed just that night, and gone further than that. Except Tyki had been there too, hadn't he?

Lavi didn't love Tyki, and he was pretty sure Kanda didn't love anybody. Only that wasn't true because Lavi did love Tyki to an extent, and Kanda might have liked them both. Sometimes the redhead wasn't sure where anybody stood with Kanda, himself included. So maybe there was love.

But that was a problem! Because love was two people. One person loving another person! And it confused Lavi to no end because he couldn't see it. He couldn't see how three people could be in love! They couldn't be in love. That was absurd! Three people didn't equate to love.

It was just good times and trying to survive the crazy, fucked-up thing they all found themselves in called life. Where had it even started?

The first time they had done anything that pushed the limits had been at Lavi's birthday. The party had died down for the most part. Allen had left to run errands for Cross (he dare not say no to the man, lest he be smacked to death on the spot). Daisya had to leave to get ready for a soccer match his university had the next day. Fou had managed to her hands on Lenalee, and nobody was sure where they ended up when they left the apartment. And all this left just Tyki, Lavi and Kanda alone in their apartment, slightly buzzed with a massive cake that was missing the left corner.

The party should have ended there, but it didn't. In fact, it had just started.

"I'm hungry," Lavi said, pulling a piece of the cake with his bare fingers and slipping it between his lips, a dab of frosting resting all too temptingly on his lower lip. And both of the others were quick to notice. But Tyki, being much less stubborn than Kanda, made the first move.

A seductive smirk pasted to his lips, the Portuguese male leaned towards the redhead. "You seem have to something right here…" His voice trailed off as he drew closer and ran his tongue along Lavi's lower lip, before drawing the other in for a birthday kiss. Except Lavi was a playful boy at heart, and he couldn't resist shoving just a bite of cake against the other's lips as they pulled away.

His emerald eye was slightly glassed over. He leaned back in the chair, fingers clutching the white collar of the older male's shirt. "You know, you have something on your lips too."

"Do I really now?"

Lavi nodded, a playful smirk pasted to his lips. He pressed his lips against Tyki's once more, arms snaking around the other's neck. The position wasn't entirely comfortable, but neither really cared. The only one who cared was Kanda, who coughed in disapproval. Or was it jealousy?

"Awww," the redhead's words slurred as he grinned over at his long time best friend, "Does Yuu-chan feel left out?"

"Don't call me th---" There was cake being shoved towards his face, and drunk or not, that just wasn't going to happen. He reached up to swat at Lavi's hand which was getting uncomfortably close. Only when he did this, he swatted the hand downwards, and the cake bit landed on his neck. The smirk on Lavi's face grew. The redhead smirked, very thankful that it was his birthday, and leaned closer to Kanda, kissing down Kanda's neck and nibbling at the bit of cake when he got to it.

But, of course, Kanda wasn't going to get all the attention. Oh no, Tyki wouldn't allow that. And things escalated from there until cake just wasn't working anymore. The eating area was a mess the next morning, and Lavi was pretty sure there was cake frosting dried to parts of his skin. But it didn't matter because he definitely considered his birthday to be the best he had ever had.

Things hadn't gotten better after that. In fact, they had gotten worse. The sex didn't stop. It wasn't daily, but it happened all the same. Not to mention, they way they all seemed to be closer in general terms. Even Kanda seemed a bit closer, if that were possible.

So maybe there wasn't love, and maybe there was. Maybe it just wasn't the typical type. Because maybe there could be love between three people. And even if it wasn't love, it was okay for now. Because they needed each other. At least for now. It made things easier for now. So whether or not there was love, Lavi didn't care.

All that mattered they had each other, and that was some kind of love, right?

That in mind, the redhead slid further under the covers, pulling the covers over everybody, just because, and falling back sleep, content enough for now.
