Summary: Lavi finds that Allen is unbreakable.

Notes/Warnings: un-betaed; the fifth in a series of 104 themes. "Unbreakable" is today's theme.

At first it started out with just a few sayings to make Allen depressed: Lavi wasn't sure why he did this. But Allen still showed up with a smile and he still found strength from an unknown source. Lavi knew that Allen would never break under such measly pressure.

Then Lavi decided to turn his world upside down. Sure, Lavi was straight, but that didn't mean he couldn't do this just to bring Allen to his knees. When he first broached the idea to the younger boy he did it with a shove into a nearby wall accompanied by a bruising kiss. The white-haired boy took it without question, but wandered off afterwards without that god forsaken smile on his lips. That was a step forward in Lavi's plans. He left the hallway with a grin.

Of course not even four days later and Allen had ventured back to his side, acting as if nothing had happened. Lenalee was appeased by this, as she had noticed the distance growing between the once inseparable pair. Lavi walked with Allen towards the library when a hand found his. He jumped, but grinned and closed his hand around the other. Yes, he had him now.

A few weeks down the line and Allen finally leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. Lenalee was shocked; Kanda stared then stalked off, clearly irritated at the disruption in his daily routine. Allen blushed, but smiled at Lavi. Lavi grinned wolfishly. Later, Panda-jiijii scolded him for being involved with anyone from the order. With a vicious kick his mentor told him that they should leave. Komui settled him down; they stayed at the Order. Lavi knew he had to plan this more deviously.

Two more months down the line and Allen pulled him into an alcove near the library and completely ravished him. Lavi couldn't say he didn't appreciate it, but he had been thinking about Lenalee the entire time. Allen didn't notice.

Slowly, their relationship grew deeper by Allen's standards. Lavi was still detached, still thinking of Lenalee whenever Allen and he did anything. Lavi always topped. Allen found he didn't mind, though.

Allen ordered dinner from Jerry, turned his room into a romantic getaway. They'd been having sex for a long time; Lavi didn't understand this situation. He ate anyway. Allen smiled and instigated conversations that many couples held usually. Lavi was uninterested. Allen finally stood up and moved over to Lavi. Arms circled around his shoulders from the back. Lavi stopped eating momentarily. Whispered words were spoken.

"I love you, Lavi."

Lavi made no expression; he said nothing in response. He didn't care. He took another bite of food. Allen watched pensively.

"I know you don't love me, but I do love you."

This forced Lavi to excuse himself. It shook him to the core—did Allen know what Lavi was doing? Lavi avoided him for a week before anything changed. Kanda slammed Mugen into the wall beside his head. Lavi stopped, turned. Kanda glowered at him.

"If you hurt the beansprout, I'll kill you."

They held each other's gaze for a heavy moment.

"Play your game wisely, rabbit."

With a flourish, Kanda spun and sheathed Mugen. He stalked off. Kanda knew. Lavi knew that Kanda knew. Allen opened the door down the hallway. He met Lavi's eyes. Lavi turned away. Allen caught up to him later.

"You know I won't break."

Lenalee was curious; Kanda stared at the white haired boy. Allen didn't look up, Lavi watched him for a moment, took a forkful of his lunch.

"I know."

Silence reigned.
