Chapter Two-Bittersweet

"Good Morning students! We just want to remind all of you that the big festival is tomorrow, make sure you have everything prepared and ready for this joyous time!"

Allen slammed his locker in frustration, pulling his mid-length hair into a pony tail.

"We get it already, you don't need to repeat yourself…" he mumbled, rolling the sleeves of his 'too big' sweater up to his elbows.

Allen wasn't just mad, no, he was pissed. With the whole festival coming, the choir teachers decided that he would be forced to dress up, as they put it 'punk' Santa, Why'll everyone else got to carol to the guest.

"Oh, well when we first thought of Santa Claus, we automatically thought of you Allen! This way at least, you won't have to wear a white wig…oh, that came out wrong. What I mean to say is, you look the most like Santa Claus…oh, my words just aren't coming out right…"

Allen silently walked inside his Spanish classroom, sitting his binder down and laying his head on the desk. He still had about twenty minutes till the bell officially rang, but he wasn't in the mood to hang out right now.

A couple of days ago, while Allen was waiting to walk home with Kanda, he noticed how a couple of cheerleaders were hanging off of him, not even trying to hold themselves back. At first Kanda was rude and shoving them off, Allen noted happily, but when his gaze passed over him he instantly acted like nothing was wrong.

Allen kicked his van against the floor.

"Allen…I know you're a depressed kid and stuff, but right now you look like you wanna hang yourself."

Allen peered through his bangs to see Lavi and Lenalee standing in front of him, both of them looking at him with worry.

"What do you guys want?"

Lenalee waved for him to follow them. When they got into the hallway, Allen sat down, pulling his knees to his chest.

"Al, what's wrong?" Lavi said, sitting next to him.

"…everything."

They both looked at him and pulled him into a loving hug, not even caring if people noticed them.

"…Did I miss something? What, am I not told anymore about these emo moments between us?"

Allen looked up into the face of Kanda, seeing a very little shine of worry in eyes.

Allen put on a fake smile and jumped up. "What Kanda? I was just being over dramatic, nothing to worry about."

"Don't give me that face!" he said at Kanda who was raising a perfect eyebrow.

"Che."

Kanda sat down casually on the opposite side of Allen, staying in contact with his heel on Allen's knee.

They sat there for a couple of minutes, watching Allen and Kanda nudge each other for awhile till Lavi spoke up.

"What are you guys doing tomorrow for the festival?" he asked, giving them a cheerful smile. "All us Band kids have to dress up as elves and follow around some dope being forced to dress up as Santa."

Allen thumped his head against the wall with a hard crack. "I'm going to kill you Lavi…"

Lavi looked offended. "Why?"

Allen slowly turned his face towards him and gave him a bitter glare.

"That dope, Lavi…" he said sarcastically. "Is me!"

They all stared at him as if he had grown to heads, Kanda cocked a smirk and a little rumble came from his chest.

Lenalee looked at him with wide eyes. "Really? Awww you're going to be adorable!"

Allen hit his head again, harder that time.

"I Think he'll make a wonderful Santa…"Kanda said, smiling mischievously

They all got up when the bell for their day began, Lenalee and Lavi waving goodbye and going into their Latin class.

"What are you planning Yuu?" Allen asked, getting into his face.

Kanda snorted and patted his head. "Nothing."

Allen, I know how you love sweets so here is a sweet for a very sweet person! Hey-Don't give me that look! You know the one where you squint your eyes and pucker your lips in annoyance! Have fun eating all of these candy canes, I bet you can finish them all off in about half an hour! And don't throw them away either, I spent a whole twenty bucks on these for you!

P.S. Don't be depressed, it's Christmas!

From: Your fake-adopted sister

First off, don't complain about all the candy you're getting, you deserve it Allen. Second, don't inhale these; we don't want you choking like the last time now do we? Unlike Lavi who complains about everything, I don't care what you do with my Candy Canes as long as you eat at least one. I know there your favorites… don't lie, we all know the truth! You've always loved sweet things, such as peppermints, so think before you act…

P.S. I love you!

P.P.S…I don't know, it felt like it needed something though…

To: Allen Walker (Aka. Moyashi)

From: Kanda

Don't go thinking I actually care if you got any sweets, I don't. The stupid retard of a bunny is forcing me to do this. Well, since I'm pretty sure you have no other friends outside of us, Ill actually write to you. Moyashi, I know something's wrong, you're stupid drunk-ass of a guardian told me. Don't act like everything's okay with your fake-ass smile; it annoys the hell out of me. Now that I'm thinking about it, why do you even like these things? There way to sweet, rot your teeth and always the same flavor. Well…I guess I should know since you've always liked things like this since we were little. To me…these things just taste bitter. Really Moyashi, why do you like something so…normal? It's not a Christmas present, but I guess as a favor for bandaging my sprained ankle I'll get you some of those Choclate eggs you like from Germany, the ones Mana would always give us? I'll admit…those are actually a sweet I can deal with. By the way Allen….

Allen crumpled in a heap on the floor by the front a gate, taking deep breathes to stop himself from having an attack. He didn't notice when a group of kids gathered around him, screaming for help from the faculty. He didn't notice when a familiar young tanned man picked him up as if he weighed nothing. He didn't notice the red-head running with him to get him help. He didn't notice how they had grabbed his big bag of sweets. No…nothing mattered at that moment…only what was written on the paper, held tight in his hands. He did notice, however, how when they went to put the candy canes in his backpack he thought he might throw up at how they all reminded him of what just happened. He would never see them as sweets again…no, they would forever taste bitter in his mouth.

…I've become engaged. Teidoll has engaged me to your cousin Road Kamelot…we will be married as soon as they deem acceptable….I'm...
