As a way of saying sorry for taking so long on the updates, i decided to publish another chapter on the same day! Woo!
Oh yeah, I'm writing two other one-shots. One is about Allen transforming into a white-wolf and being taken back to the order by Lenalee. The second one is Allen and Lenalee having a fluff moment on a couch in the library at night.
Hope you guys read it when it's out!
Anyway enjoy!
Today was Valentine's Day and Lenalee had no clue how she would approach Allen with her home-made, love-filled chocolates.
"Hmm…" she pondered "this will be hard…" After the usual readying for school, Allen and Lenalee set off to school. She was in deep thought when she heard her name.
"Lenalee?" Allen said.
"…"
"Lenalee" he said a little louder.
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong? You seem a little out of it today"
"Umm…I was just thinking about…"
"About?"
"…"
"…" Allen waited. Lenalee wanted something to pop up and take Allen's attention away because she was too embarrassed to tell him about Valentine's Day and the chocolates in her bag. Lucky for her, a girl appeared and handed Allen a box of chocolates and ran away.
"How does she do it?" Lenalee thought. She had to give Allen her Valentine present sometime today.
"Anyway, what's bothering you?" Allen asked already finished with the box of chocolates.
"Damn it, he won't let this pass by…" Lenalee thought and then said "Nothing, don't worry about it"
"Oh okay"
"Safe!" she thought. They walked to their first class together. The two of them were in the same class every period, and now it's English. Allen and Lenalee walked in to see everyone's desk with Valentine's chocolates except for hers. Allen's had the most. Komui sat in his seat with a bunch of chocolates on his desk.
"Wow nii-san you got chocolates!" Lenalee said, she wondered why her brother, a teacher got chocolates but she didn't.
"Oh these? I confiscated them from your various stalkers…" Komui said eyeing down every male in the class. Lenalee sighed.
"Just give me those…" she snatched the gifts away and put them in her bag. She herself was surprised by how many admirers she had. She looked at Allen's desk to see it flooded with chocolates.
"Maybe I can give it to him now? No wait, nii-san will be looking…But he probably has way too many gifts right now and won't even accept mines…" she thought feeling down. Class flew by and Lenalee looked for an opportunity to give Allen chocolates but found none.
"I have to do it at break time" she thought. The pair sat together on the roots of a large oak tree. Kanda wasn't here because he was sick and Lavi was flirting with his fan club which Allen kindly created for him. This was the perfect time for Lenalee to give the chocolates.
"Lenalee?" Allen said.
"Hmm?" Lenalee looked to her right to see Allen with an eyebrow raised.
"You're spacing out a lot today, are you sure there is nothing you want to tell me?"
"Umm…" Lenalee said her face now really red. She had to do it now. Allen placed a warm hand on her forehead.
"Are you sick? Do you want to go back to Dorm rooms?"
"No, no, no! Just fine!" She waved her hands. Allen's palm remained on her forehead and he wore the I'm-not-convinced look on his face.
"You know, if you're sick I'll go back to the Dorm rooms with you" he said.
"Ehh…really?" she asked. It was true though, she did feel a little sick. Maybe it was because of thinking too hard.
"Yeah sure, I'll go check out with the office right now" Allen said packing his lunch and dragging Lenalee to the office by hand.
"What can I do for you sweetie?" the office lady asked.
"Um, my friend here is sick and I was wondering if we can go back to the Dormitory together" Allen explained.
"Depends, why do you need to go?"
"Oh, I'm in the same room as her and it'll be good for someone to take care of her while she's sick"
"Okay then, just sign here both of you" the office lady said handing them a clipboard with a table on the paper. They signed their names; reason and time on the paper then thanked the office lady and headed back.
"Are you sure you want to come along? I mean, you really need to study, you're top of the class aren't you?" Lenalee asked feeling guilty for being a little sick.
"No it's fine, you're more important to me than grades" Allen replied. Lenalee blushed at the last thing he said and walked along. A gang of older teenagers were at the side of the street. They saw Lenalee and whispered to each other. One of them strolled up towards them and tripped face upwards.
"Ouch!" he lied; his ulterior motive was obviously to see up Lenalee's skirt.
"Oi. What are you doing?" Allen asked seriously, pulling Lenalee behind him. The man picked himself up and looked down on Allen.
"What's with you punk? Is she your girlfriend!" the man asked trying to look as intimidating as possible. The other gang members lined behind him pulling out knives.
"Yes." Allen replied. Lenalee was shocked at what Allen said.
"He thinks of me that way! I am so happy!" Lenalee thought.
"You got balls to mess with us punk! Boys, I think we need to cut him up a bit!" The gang members inched closer to Allen, their knives at the ready. Lenalee wasn't scared one bit though, because she knew that these people were nothing compared to Allen. Even still, she was scared for Allen's safety.
"Get back" Allen nudged Lenalee to move further away from the scene. She did as she was told. The gang member swung his knife at Allen only to get a fist in his face. The gang member flew to the right and lay on the ground unconscious.
"R-Run! He's a monster!" the remaining three ran away.
"Let's go Lenalee" Allen smiled stretching out his hand. Lenalee took it and tangled her fingers with Allen's.
"Eh…Listen…about what I said before…um…I…eh …" Allen stuttered.
"Don't worry about it!" she replied gleefully holding Allen's hands a little tighter. Lenalee stopped in her tracks looking at the floor.
"What's wrong Lenalee?" Allen asked. It seems that Lenalee really was getting sick. She collapsed to her knees with her hands around her stomach.
"It hurts…" she said. Allen ran to her side and placed a supportive arm around her shoulders.
"Can you bear with it until we get there?" Allen asked. Lenalee responded with a shake of the head. Allen hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. He then placed his right hand under her knees and lifted her up. Even though she was sick, Lenalee still had a red face.
"Eh…Allen?" she stammered.
"Hmm?" he continued walking towards the Dormitory.
"You don't have to do this you know, I can walk"
"No way! I'm going to carry you the whole way, you're too sick". And true to his word, Allen carried her the whole way to the Dormitory. He placed they key in the keyhole and opened the door. He then placed Lenalee on her bed and covered her with blankets.
"Be right back!" he said running out the door. Moments later he returned with a wooden bucket with what seemed to be hot water and a small towel. He sat down on Lenalee's bed and dipped the towel in the hot water. He then soaked out the excess water and placed the towel on her forehead.
"Thanks Allen-kun" she said with her eyes closed.
"Sleep for a bit, I'll get you something to eat" Allen said caressing her arm. He headed out the door and into the kitchen. He picked up a bowl and made soup with various vegetables lying around hoping it would help her. When he returned, he saw Lenalee sleeping lightly. He placed the soup on her bedside table and whispered "I have soup for you, drink it and hopefully you'll get better".
"Thank you" She reached her shaky hand to the soup but Allen stopped her.
"On second thoughts…" he took of her towel and lifted her into a sitting position with her leaning on the wall behind her, cushioned by her pillow. Allen sat on her bed with the soup in his hands. He lifted the spoon with the soup in it and the bowl under just in case it spills and moved it towards Lenalee's mouth.
"You know, you don't have to do this…" she flushed.
"I want to do this" he said moving the spoon into her mouth.
"Mm. This is good! Where did you learn to cook?"
"My guardian" he said even though Cross was actually his master. After the soup was finished Allen told Lenalee to get some rest. He closed the curtains as it was still mid-day to block out the light.
"Sleep well" he whispered and walked out of the room closing the door behind him. He sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. Allen lay on the couch getting ready for a mid-day movie. An advertisement was on so he decided he'd close his eyes for a bit. Before he knew it he was asleep. Allen had a dream about Mana. Again. But it didn't bother him that much because he promised Mana and Lenalee that he'd stay strong. He opened his eyes and absorbed the surroundings.
"That's right…I fell asleep" he mumbled. He looked at the clock to check the time "five o'clock…"
He opened the door to see Lenalee halfway through putting on her night shirt. They stared at each other for a moment. Allen blushed and turned away quickly.
I didn't see anything!" he stammered as Lenalee giggled.
"It's alright" she replied "Want to watch a movie?"
"Sure". They sat down on the couch. Lenalee cuddled up next to him as she put on a movie about Valentine's Day. This felt all too familiar for Allen. Halfway through the movie, Allen noticed that Lenalee was shivering and her toes were curled up. He looked to his left and saw a thin fluffy bed sheet. He picked it up and wrapped it around them, bringing them even closer to one another.
"?" Lenalee looked up at Allen with a questioning look.
"You're obviously shivering" he said as he hugged her closer.
"This is the best Valentine's Day ever" she thought "That's right! The chocolates!" Fortunately her bag was right next to her at the leg of the couch. She reached her hand in and pulled out the box of chocolates. With her hand still inside her bag, she checked if the chocolates were still in good condition. They were just the way she left them. She pulled out the box and put it on Allen's lap.
"Hmm?" Allen looked at Lenalee his arm still around her.
"Um…happy Valentine's Day Allen" she said.
"Wow! Thanks!" he exclaimed and ate one "Wow, these taste great!"
"Ehh really?"
"Mhm" he nodded.
"Thanks!"
"I have a gift for you too" Allen said.
"What is it?" Lenalee asked curiously. Allen pulled her closer and kissed her on the lips.
"Happy Valentine's Day Lenalee"
"T-Thanks" she blushed. The pair resumed their movie but this time they were a lot warmer than before. Allen told Lenalee to sit on his lap and that she did. He wrapped his arms around her waist and his head on her shoulder and they watched the movie together.
"Definitely the best Valentine's Day ever" Lenalee thought.
