Lenalee opened the door leaving space for Allen to enter.

"Here it is. This is m- our dorm room." Lenalee said welcoming Allen inside "it's not much but-"

"Wow its nice" Allen stated looking around the room. There were two bedrooms straight ahead and a bathroom to the left with the lounge in the centre-right with a TV and a luxurious sofa facing it. There was a kitchen next to the bathroom accompanied by a dining table.

"How did you afford all of this?" Allen asked surprised.

"Ni-san payed for all of this" Lenalee said scratching the back of her head, "C'mon I'll show you to your room" she gestured.

Allen followed her to the guest room on the right of her bedroom. There was a bed tucked up in the corner of the room near a large window. Outside the window was a small balcony with a view that reached the horizon.

"Well I better cook something, see you in an hour or so" she smiled and left the room. Allen gazed around then followed after her. He watched a red-faced Lenalee cook, often helping when he was needed. Lenalee and Allen carried the pots of food to the dining table. "Ehh, I think I cooked a little too much, it'll be a waste if we can't finish this" Lenalee said placing the food on the table. "No worries, I have a big appetite" Allen smiled gratefully. The sat opposite to each other "Itadakimasu" they said in unison before eating. Awkward silence filled the air while they ate, both of them thinking of a topic to talk about.

"Wow, this is delicious" Allen said breaking the silence.

"Thanks, I learned how to cook from my brother" she said amazed at how much and how fast Allen could eat. "So how was your first day at school?"

"Terrible with all those annoying bullies, but a lot better after I met you" he said softly looking at his food with rose-red cheeks.

"T-thanks" she stuttered with her face matching the colour of Allen's. They were silent until the food was all finished. "Wow, guess you really do have a big appetite" she giggled. Allen loved that sound. It made him extremely happy inside when he heard Lenalee laugh. "Well its lights out at 10:30 so there is still 3 and a half hours left, what do you want to do?" she added.

"Hmm" Allen pondered for a while then said "how about we watch a movie for a while?"

"Okay"

Lenalee took out a chest from next to the TV. She opened it revealing a never-ending pile of movies.

"My brother bought me all this as well, I don't really watch many movies"

"Wow, quite a collection Lenalee…"

"So what do you want to watch?"

"Mm, I don't really mind, whatever suits you"

"Then do you want to watch a horror movie?"

"Sure".

She picked up a movie and placed the disk in the DVD player under her TV. They collapsed onto the sofa and played the movie. Lenalee placed her knees up onto to the sofa relaxing for the long movie. They watched as their expressions changed every scene. At one point the tension was so much that Lenalee couldn't help but cuddle up and hug Allen. "She looks so cute when she's scared" Allen thought looking at her, "Wait, stop thinking things like this, you're on a mission, you have to focus on finding the innocence user".

"Kyaaa" Lenalee screamed now shaking while hugging Allen's left arm. Her head was resting against his shoulder. After the scene was over Lenalee realised the situation she was in and turned her head towards Allen who just simply smiled back at her. She quickly let go of his arm and backed away blushing "Ahh sorry, I was a little scared"

"Don't worry about it" Allen chuckled.

After more frightening scenes and Lenalee hugging Allen's arm still scared out of her mind, the movie was over. They both got up stretching their arms above them.

"That was a scary movie" Allen said arms behind his head.

"S-Sure was" Lenalee stated glancing back on forth expecting a knife to come out of the darkness and stab her. She turned back to Allen's direction to find out that he was missing.

"Eh…A-Allen-kun?" she said frightened. She looked in every direction but couldn't see him. Just then a hand shot out of the closet behind her and pulled her in.

"Kyaaa!" she screamed.

"I am going to tear out your limbs" a deep voice stated from the shadows of the small closet.

"Allen-kun where are you!" she said now with tears in her eyes.

"Right here Lenalee" a cheerful voice came from the attacker's direction.

"You've been taken in as well!"

"No silly I pulled you into the closet" he laughed.

"Why would you do that!" Lenalee shouted with tears still rolling down her cheeks. "I was so scared!" She was now crouching on the floor of the small dark closet. A hand reached out and gently brushed away the tears on her cheeks. Allen placed his right hand on Lenalee's cheek and said "I am so sorry Lenalee, I hope you can forgive me" Even in the darkness she knew he was smiling because she could feel the radiance of it warming her. By now Allen was crouched down in front of her face-to-face.

"Of course I forgive you" Lenalee said hugging him. He returned the embrace then whispered in her ear "We should go to sleep now". Lenalee nodded as Allen stood up and turned the door handle.

Click

Allen turned the handle again.

Click

He then turned to face Lenalee; she could see the expression of pure horror on his face even in the dark as he said softly "We're locked in…"
