Ch. 4: The Morning After (Feelings Become Known)
Bak got up, and Allen was still asleep. He decided to take care of himself first since there really wasn't much to be done for Allen right now, so he took a shower. He felt the cold water flow down his body, and he let everything that happened in the past night soak in.
flashback
In the middle of the night, he awoke to Allen shouting in his sleep.
"Bak! Bak! Don't leave me alone! Come back! Come back!"
It gave him this tightening feeling in his stomach, which along with Allen calling out his name in his sleep, made him feel nervous and excited at the same time. It was a little exhilarating.

Allen woke up suddenly, but as soon as he tried sitting up, his head felt like Fou just punched him one hundred times at once, causing him to fall back onto the bed. It was then that he also realized that the room he was in wasn't his.
Bak came into the room just then.
"Bak-san?"
"Are you all right, Allen?"
"My head hurts a lot... I can't get up very well on my own."
Bak helped him sit up, and gave him an aspirin and a glass of water. "Here. It might help you a little bit."
"What happened to me?"
"I honestly don't know. I think it might have had something to do with what you drank yesterday, but I don't exactly know what."
"And what about Tyki and Rabi?"
"While I was in the bathroom, they took off and left you passed out on the table at the restaurant. They were at least kind enough to pay for the food, though. I couldn't ask you where your apartment was, so I had no choice but to bring you back to my place and take care of you."
"Oh... I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
Bak touched Allen's hand. "No, it's all right! It's no trouble and you didn't do anything wrong!"
It clicked in his head. He just touched Allen's hand without even thinking about it. His face got all flushed.
Allen noticed as well, and his cheeks became tinged with pink.
They made eye contact, faces becoming more flushed when... BAM!
Fou slammed the door open, a beer can in hand, face flushed with light drunkenness. "GOOD MORNING, BITCHES!"
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!" both Bak and Allen screamed at the same time.
"So what's goin' on here? Is Bak proposing? Wow, you guys are moving fast..."
"Owww, my head..." Allen said, holding his head in his hand.
"Don't you have work today?" Bak asked after calming down.
"Nope, I'm on vacation for a couple days. And what 'bout you? Don't YOU have work?"
Bak looked at the clock. If he didn't leave NOW, he'd be late. "AAAAAAHHH! I GOTTA GO! SEE YOU, ALLEN!" Bak screamed, running out the door.
"Erm, bye, Bak-san!"
"Sheesh, you're still all polite after having been on a date with him and everything? Just call him 'Bak' next time you see him. I'm pretty sure he'd be thrilled."
"You speak your mind even more when you're inebriated, don't you, Fou?"
"I'm not THAT drunk! This is my first beer of the day! I'm just exhilarated from the rush of alcohol first thing in the morning! Anyways, what really happened here, anyway?"
"Well, I don't remember much. Bak said I passed out, and Tyki and Rabi pretty much skipped out on us at the restaurant but they paid for the food, so Bak had to bring me here and take care of me."
"Passed out, what?"
"Bak figured it had something to do with what I drank, but he didn't know for sure..."
"What did ya drink?"
"Long Island Iced Tea."
Fou whistled.
"What?"
"That's not actually tea, Allen. It's loaded with alcohol. No wonder you passed out!"
"Eh?"
"Hey, accidents happen. You're okay, and Bak is a gentleman, so I wouldn't worry about anything."
Allen didn't really know what to say to that.

"So, delivery boy, did you get it on with your girlfriend last night?" Bak's boss asked.
"Wh-wh-wha--NO! I am a gentleman!"
His boss laughed. "Ah, you can tell me, man-to-man!"
"But I'm telling you, we didn't do ANYTHING!"
"Okay, fine, fine! And will you take off that beret? This is a Chinese restaurant, not French!"
"And I'm only part Chinese and my German genes are more dominant..." Bak muttered to himself.
"That's why you're a delivery boy and not a cook! You suck at cooking anyway!"
"But why should I take off the beret? It's not like no one hasn't seen me wearing it before, anyway, sir."
"Fine, fine!"

Allen felt well enough to sit up and stand, etc., so he went back to his apartment to get cleaned up and ready to go to work.
As he walked to work, however, things didn't go as planned. Someone came up from behind and hit him over the head with something really hard. As he faded into unconsciousness, he heard someone screaming in a high-pitched voice, and a "Rero!"
Allen awoke with a horrible headache, almost as bad as the hangover he had that morning. He REALLY didn't feel like getting up after that blow to the head. His vision came into focus. He was in some dirty old lot with a brick wall around it, and his captor stood in front of him, wearing shiny black shoes, striped thigh high socks, a denim skort, and a white t-shirt with a black heart on it. She held a pink umbrella with a pumpkin head on the end, Rero.
"Rhode, why did you do that? It's not very kind of you to knock people unconscious and drag them to a strange place like this," Allen said to her.
"I had to, Allen. I didn't want you to escape so easily this time," Rhodes replied.
Bak was riding his bicycle back to the restaurant to pick up the next delivery. Along the way, he went through an older part of town where there were a bunch of abandoned buildings when he heard voices. One of them sounded like...
"Allen?" he wondered out loud. He kept listening.
"Rhode, you KNOW I had a restraining order placed against you. Why are you doing this now?"
"I know what you've done, Allen. You betrayed me. You must be punished for betraying me."
"I'm not with you, and I'll NEVER be with you! Don't you understand?!"
Bak heard enough, and pedaled as quickly as he could to save Allen. He burst into the lot, flinging dust into Rhode's face, and yelled, "Allen, get on!"
Allen got up, albeit a little clumsily, and got on, putting his arms around Bak's waist and holding on tightly as Bak pedaled them away from the crazy bitch... because she really scared the shit out of him.
They got several blocks away when they stopped so Bak could rest. Allen continued to cling onto him.
"Allen, are you all right?"
Allen giggled.
"What?" Bak asked.
"Bak-sama, you're my knight in rusty armor!" Allen said in a funny voice.
"Oh, shut-- Wait, did you just call me 'Bak-sama'?" Bak asked, his face turning red for the thousandth time in the past few days. It had been a long time since someone called him that, and to hear it coming from Allen was... well, bringing on the dirty thoughts. His nose was dripping a little blood. Here's what you could hear in Bak's mind: "Bak-samaaaaaa!"
"Bak, are you all right? Your nose is bleeding."
Bak nearly passed out until Allen smacked him over the head.
"OW! What was that for?!"
"I KNOW what you were thinking," Allen said, surrounded by a dark aura.
"Yeeep! I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY!"
"ALLENNNNNNNNN, I AM COMING FOR YOUUUUUUUU!!" Rhode screamed as she came charging after them, waving Rero (who is screaming frantically) around over her head.
"OH SHIT!" they both screamed, and then took off on the crappy bike, like the wind. It wasn't until Bak thought about it being a miracle that the bike hadn't fallen apart yet that the bike decided to lose it's front wheel, however. They both fell off the bicycle, causing Allen to smash Bak into the asphalt, but he only got scratches on his hands from breaking their fall.
It was then that they noticed that Rhode was no longer following them...

Oh jeez, I haven't really been doing much with this lately... because I'm busy! I'll do my best to get more on here, but I cannot guarantee it! I'm moving into an apartment soon, among other things.
I seriously have no clue as to what to do next, so I just ended this chapter with a cliffhanger... T.T+
So... the questions that need answered now are thus:
What happened to Rhode?
Will we see Cross show up sometime?
Is that thing on Bak's hat his hair or a tassel?!
Will there be a smut chapter in the future?!
