Allen nodded politely as his hand wrote down everything the two customers at the table order. Once in a while he would glance up when they pause. His hand scribbling effortlessly as he has done this for almost two years now. It became some sort of routine. A routine he hasn't found boring as of yet. After the two customers at the table finished, Allen looked up. "If that is all, I'll be returning in a few minutes."

The two young women smile brightly at him. "We'll be waiting Allen-kun." One of his many regular customers said.

He excused himself and walked inside the café. Making his was around Allen came upon fellow waiters and waitresses. The greet each other with a small jesters then moved on with their duties. He arrived at front counter of the kitchen and placed his order. Jeri the owner of the café and main chef gladly accepted the small piece of paper. Allen in the mean time went to attend to more clients as his order was taken care of.

She was very happy to see the cute waiter making his way to her table. Road became very eager and she smiled at the boy. He stood besides her table and took out his note pad and pen. "Hello, are we ready to order?" Road felt her heart flutter in her chest. The boy with cute white hair was just her type. Her short hair softly sway with the wind as she simply took her time on the waiter.

The girl probably around the same age as him – or younger – kept looking at him and her smile only got wider. Allen could actually see his reflection on her large sunglasses. They were a little to big for her small face he might add. Allen didn't really like customers to stare at him, it made him self-conscious. His bruised eye has healed completely, and Allen didn't think about it anymore until now. He shift on his feet while waiting for any respond.

"Road, please order."

He had totally missed the person sitting on the other side of the round table. Allen then lift his gaze to the man and felt his heart stop beating all together.

I-It can't be.

Fear struck him like lightning and his mind went blank the next second. Goose bumps broke through his skin and Allen commanded his body to move, but he felt paralyze all of a sudden. The man with long wavy dark hair wasn't looking at Allen, he was simply readying the newspaper. Oblivious to the pale looking waiter.

"I'm not sure yet." Road said before letting her eyes scan the menu in her hands. She to missed how the waiter right next to her lost most of his color.

It's not him! Allen look closely, it's not him!

He let his gray orbs take in the full appearance of the reading man. As the seconds went by he felt his body feel less tight and before long he was breathing again. Carefully, Allen averted his eyes from the man and back to the short haired girl. He found that looking at her made it better. He stole a few glances at the other occupant of the table to reassure himself that it wasn't him.

"What's your name?" Road ask the waiter.

Allen turn to the girl and smile even though he knew it was force. "Allen."

Road giggled she really like the young waiter. "Nice to meet you Allen. As you heard my name is Road, Road Kamelot and this grumpy man is my daddy Sheril Kamelot."

I was right. You got worked up for nothing.

At his name being mention, Sheril finally decided to look up and see what made his daughter all happy. Road wasn't so friendly with others out of the blue.

"Nice meting you sir." The waiter with strange yet fascinating hair said.

Sheril gave the young man a good glance before a smile reach his lips. "The pleasure is mine." He got comfortable on his chair as he left the paper he was reading alone and leaned over the table resting his chin on top of his woven fingers.

Even after Allen manage calm his racing heart he just couldn't help but to feel like that man was looking at him. The reason for the unease feeling Allen sense was due to Sheril's eyes. They were an amber color.

"Allen what do you recommend me from the menu?" He was once again safe by Road and the teen quickly look back at the girl.

It's just a coincidences. A lot of people have the same eye color.

He told himself while he spoke with Road. Five minutes later he was writing down Road's and her father's order. He left right after remembering he had other customers. As he began to walk away, Allen let the tranquility settle. There was no need for him to feel afraid.

Road search around and stop once she spotted her waiter, Allen. She grinned completely ignoring her father's observant gaze. Her smile halter when she saw how openly the two girls at the table flirted with Allen.

I wonder if Allen will still like them if their faces got ugly? She picture herself stand up then. Walking towards those girls and picking up the fork along the way before scrapping them on the face down to the bone. She would laugh while they screamed in agony and would stop once there was nothing left on them but a few pieces of dead skin simply dangling in the air.

"What are you thinking honey?" Sheril wonder as he saw his daughter shivering with a certain anticipation.

She let her eyes linger on Allen's back then turn to her father giving him an innocent reply. "Nothing."

After delivering the food to the two young woman, Allen went back to retreat the father and daughter order. He swiftly made his way around avoiding any accidents. "And here are your meals and drinks." Allen lower the food down before stepping back. Satisfy with his work he was ready to attend to the new costumers as they settle down on another one of his tables.

"Allen wait! I forgot to add something." Road stopped the waiter as he was ready to leave.

He turn around and took out his note pad again. "What was it?" Allen motion the girl to speak.

It took Road forever to come up with something. Allen really didn't have the time to simply stand by while other people waited on him. He saw his fellow waiter, Shouji passing by and whisper quietly if he could please attend to the new customers seeing as Allen was having a small problem with his current table.

"Sure thing, Allen-kun." Shouji winked at him but Allen didn't notice.

He thanked his co-worked and turn back to Road and patiently stood waiting. He glance briefly at Shirley to see him eating and viewing the newspaper at the same time. After a long six minute wait Road ended up asking for some ice cream. Allen hiding his small irritation quickly jot the order down and left.

The teen return to Road's table and sat the sweet down before asking if she needed something else. The girl hummed to herself as she thought about it. At the end Allen left gland she didn't want anything else. He went around making sure his clients were happy with their food. The two young girls at the table asked for the check and he gladly comply.

"Thanks Allen-kun, the food was delicious." He nodded and asked them to come again. After the customers left he began to clean up the table and found the tips they had left him. Storing away the money he went back to the other table. Allen stood once again at the table that for some strange reason made him feel odd. He swat that sensation away and focused on the two people.

"I want... I want- what's this?" Road pointed on the picture on the menu.

"Well, that's actually a-"

The two young teens peer at Sheril as the man's phone ringed. He casually took the devices out and answer. Allen not wanting to be rude went back on helping the girl. As the man talked the two continue to look over the menu. Allen knew everything about the meals they served. He could say he had the privilege of tasting everything Jeri has ever made.

"Hold on to that Road, we have to get going." Sheril tucked his phone away and looked over at his daughter. Road pouted not wanting to leave and threw a small tantrum about it, but Sheril won. He asked the waiter for the bill before giving the young man the money.

Allen return with the change only to find that the two customers at the table were gone. He looked around but couldn't spot them. He glance down at the table to see a pink piece of paper.

"Sorry we left without saying anything Allen. Don't worry we'll be back soon. Road."

He read the note and sighed. Wait what about the money? He glance further down at the paper and found another note.

"P.S. Stay with the change and call me."

He simply stared at the number and found himself shaking his head. That girl was so strange to him, but it wasn't the first time he found a piece of paper with someone's number on it. His eyes went back to the money he had as it was a lot for a tip.

I'll ask Jeri-san about this.

"So how was work?" Lavi ask as he and Allen walk towards their first class.

Allen was quiet at first before he spoke. "Good like always, but there was a point that I thought I saw... Mikk."

Lavi's head snap to his best friend and he stop in front of the younger teen. Did Allen just say Mikk? He studied the boy's body language but Allen didn't look out of the ordinary.

"Don't worry, it wasn't him just someone who looked almost like him."

Lavi nodded and was relive about it. He didn't want Allen to see that man ever again. His friend was very happy with his life and didn't want the younger one to have the need to hide from anyone. They enter the class room to see that they were a bit early. The two directed themselves for their seats when they saw a small group of girls laughing and talk among themselves.

"Wonder what they are so happy about?" Lavi said walking in front of Allen.

His silver-gray eyes only gaze at the small group as they got closer to them. He wonder just by his curiosity about it to.

"Lavi-kun, Allen-kun could you come here for a bit?" One of the girls in the group called out.

Lavi more than happy went up to them. "What is it?"

Allen having no option went along with his friend. He stood next to the redhead and was welcome by a group of smiling females.

"Do you think Krory-sama is hotter than Kanda-sama?"

Allen's ears perked up at the mention of a certain model. He look around the table the girls shared and found four magazines out and open. He saw Kanda's picture right there laying on the hard surface. He hasn't seen the ravenette for the past two weeks and honest with himself, Allen could say that he misses the model. They talked on the phone but it wasn't the same. Even when Kanda got touchy with him, Allen still prefers to see the ravenette in person. Kanda after all is his boyfriend to say the least. What else should he call the older male? His girlfriend?

No Kanda isn't a girl. Well if he loosen his hair, add some make-up and threw in a skirt maybe- No! Allen that's not right!

He quickly got that image out of his head. What would Kanda say if he ever found out what Allen just thought? He doesn't want to know.

"Oh so this is what has you lovelies all pump up and what not." They all nodded at Lavi. "Alright let me be the judge of this little debate you girls are having. Even when I'm not into men." Lavi picked up a magazine and looked at the two men in question.

On the right side of the story was Kanda. The ravenette gaze – glared – right back at Lavi. Does Yuu-chan ever smile? He gave the long haired male a good look before turning his attention to the other model.

Wow, this dude is even paler than Allen.

His eyes landed on his friend who glanced around the room. After he was done scrutinizing the men, Lavi sat the magazine down. "What do you think Al? Kanda or Krory?"

Allen looked back at the redhead and frown one eyebrow. "I don't know." He wasn't going to say anything. One wrong word and Lavi might easily pick up on his secret.

"Oh come on Allen-kun, please just pick one." His eyes went back to the girls who put him in this predicament. He didn't know what to say. Was it smart of him to answer the question? All of their eyes were on him, and at the end he answer feeling pressured.

"Krory-san."

A couple of girls clapped and cheered while others simple looked down defeated. Allen didn't know what was the matter with them and decided to take his seat.

"Well there you have it Allen has spoken." Lavi commented lastly before going after the white haired teen.

"I thought you would have chosen Kanda." The older teen mention as he sat dawn.

"Why would I choose Kanda?" Allen looked through his bag pretending to search for something.

Lavi shrugged. "Because he's your friend."

"Hm."

He kept his eyes on Allen but didn't say anything further. Lavi briefly wonder if something happened between the model and his friend. Did Kanda actually made a move? Nah. He was certain that his friend would have told him if something like that happen.

I'm gland Lavi didn't push it, Allen thought. He felt bad for choosing the other model over the ravenette. He didn't understand why but he simply did. He knew that if he had picked Kanda, Lavi would have ask endless question about why the long haired male. Once something spiked the redhead's curiosity there was nothing that stopped it until Lavi knew everything.

Right now was not the time for Allen to come clean about his relationship with Kanda. He still needed time before he sat down with his friends and talk about the subject. He actually prefer Kanda to be present with them. It would make the talk less awkward, he slightly thought. He mentally sighed and ponder on how that day might be.

0o0o0o0o

Inserting the key to the lock, Allen pushed the door after it click open. He looked down at the floor when he felt something hit the back of the door. Pushing the wooden frame Allen enter and caught sight of his mail on the ground.

That's odd.

He lower down and picked the large amount of letters he had received. After he gather them all he rose and went into the living room. He took a seat on a couch and sat the letters down on the coffee table. The teen undid his tie around his neck before taking his vest off and placing it down. His eyes went back to the envelopes and took the first one he touched. His eyebrows crunched at the name of the person who sent him the letter. It was from his Master. Allen wonder why Cross sent him mail. The last time he received something from the man was when Timcanpy ended up on his front door. He kept contact with his guardian with a call every four or three months. He hasn't call the man yet, but didn't really thought that not contacting his Master would bring him a letter.

Setting that aside, he open the letter and began to read. Each word that he came across with made his eyes grow and his heart to pick up speed. At the end Allen was left gaping at the letter.

"Bloody hell."

He couldn't believe it. God he couldn't believe it. The letter – of which was less than a paragraph – informed him that Cross Marian, his Master slash guardian decided to take off to retravel the world.

This only meant one thing to Allen. One thing by the name of: Debt.

He let the paper fall from his grasp. Staring at nothing, Allen was left alone with his rushing thoughts. How could the man decide that he got tired of living with Anita? The lovely woman gave Cross everything the man could ever ask for. Allen had hoped his Master would finally settle down with Anita and begin a family. Sadly that was asking for the impossible. Cross would never settle down with anyone it's just wishful thinking to consider it.

If his memory recalled correctly, Cross had said that if he ever got bored in China, he was going to arrive in Japan and live with Allen. He hadn't mind that because he could keep a good tab on the man, but apparently the older redhead had completely forgotten about that shallow promise.

He quickly picked up the fallen letter to see the date. My god! He mentally yelled. Cross had sent the letter about a month and a half ago from Egypt.

Allen let the paper fall again and was afraid to look down at the small mount of mail on the coffee table. He was sure that all of those letters were his downfall. He found the courage at last and took the envelopes one by one. Reading the address of the senders, Allen was left feeling sadder and sadder. Cross has a gift, a gift of accumulating debts all around he went. And Allen cursed the man's gift. At the eleventh letter Allen stopped. There was no more reasons to keep going, he got the memo. He pinched the bridge of his nose to stop an up coming headache.

After he calmed for a bit, Allen began to open the letters and see how much money he owes to unknown people. He took out his cellphone and used the calculator before he began to add up the numbers.

God, have mercy on my soul.

He stare at the large numbers after he added everything up. How in the world was he to pay for all of this? Allen fell back on the couch and stare up at the ceiling. The young teen let his brain find a solution for his current problem. After a along and tortures ten minutes, he had one choice. His only option was to take all the money he has saved up in his account and pay the people Cross's indebted to. The sooner Allen paid the less likely someone will show up at his front door.

But if I pay, then something happens and I need that money what will I do?

He rubbed at his face with both hands, Allen wasn't sure what to do at this point. Something that was very clear to him though was not to tell his friends anything about this mess. No, it's his problem and he will solve it.

Allen stood from the couch and made for the kitchen. Taking a glass from the cupboard he filled it with water and chug it down. He sat the glass down and sighed loudly. Backing away Allen rest his back against the refrigerator. His eyes trace the tiles of the floor before he lift his gaze and simply stare at the toaster. His mind was empty for a full minute until something under the toaster caught his attention.

He pulled away from his spot and walked towards the other side of his kitchen. Once in front of the toaster machine he slowly reached out and slide the small card from underneath the electronic.

T.B.O.M.A. What was this again?

Turning the small square card around Allen saw a name. Komui Lee.

"… you have what it takes to be a successful male model."

"You never know, one day you might actually change your views."

He slowly remember two conversations he had with Mr. Lee a while back, but could this actually help him?

No think about something else, you might have another option. Allen can only hope.


Turning a corner Alma found the hallway quiet. He didn't bother to think why the hall was empty of people. Not a lot of the residents of the B.O would wonder on this hall. He stopped in front of two dark wooden doors. With little effort he push open the doors and stepped in. Looking around the largest lounge room in the B.O building Alma close the doors behind him.

He skimmed around and spot it as empty as the hallway. Alma knew this lounge room practically belong to the Kanda Yuu. The raven model had claimed it for himself, but he still allowed people brave enough to enter and occupy it when needed. Alma was one of those brave ones along with Lenalee, Tiedoll, Komui and Bak. As his eyes gaze around he notice something out of place.

A canopy couch was rearrange. The furniture was facing away from Alma to an open window. The white drapes flowing with the wind, and Alma found himself walking towards the couch. He stood behind it and peer down to see the most beautiful man.

Yuu.

The ravenette lay on his back, a hand folded on his belly and the other on his side. His face was nothing like the usual frown, Yuu was relaxed as he could ever be. Keeping his gaze on his once lover, Alma rounded the couch and stop once he stood in front of the sleeping model. He kept his eyes on the love of his life and lower down to Yuu. His heart thundered with glee, yet it mixed with hurt. Yuu would not look at him again. The fearless model has a new lover.

His smile quickly vanished from his lips and Alma can't help but to feel bitter about the situation. One of his hands rose up and direct its way to the soft face of Yuu. The ravenette doesn't respond to the touch. Have the two done it already? He wondered to himself then. Alma can only imagine how demanding Yuu would be in bed. The ravenette most definitely would be the one to dominate his partner, and how his needs wouldn't be so easy to be sated.

Shifting closer, Alma let his inner desires take control of his actions and move closer to the long haired male. Maybe he could tempt Yuu, tempt him into something the two could find pleasure in.

The cool breeze brushed against his skin. Kanda open his eyes and simply stared at the light blue sky. He observed the endless clouds passing by, very single white puffy cloud having a different shape. He can feel the green lush grass underneath him, the smell of earth surround him. Kanda kept is eyes ahead and watch the endless sky.

The landscape around him made for a good resting place. The shade provided by the large oak tree on top of the hill shield him from the suns rays. As he enjoyed the serenity, Kanda felt as if something is missing. He wonder what that something could be?

Moyashi.

Ah, his lover was missing. The younger male would make this picture of peace be complete. Where is his Moyashi? He thought.

The clouds above him remind the model of his lover's hair. They look soft just how the locks of his Moyashi's are. He settle comfortable in his spot and ponder deeply of his lover. His eyes open again when he felt something strange. He glance down to see a mop of white appear. Soon enough Kanda found his little lover. The boy slowly crawled over him until he's straddling Kanda's waist. A smile bloomed on his Moyashi's face and Kanda can't help but to smile back.

"Yuu."

Kanda is stun to hear his first name come out of the younger male's lips. The white haired teen lowers down until they are only an inch away. Kanda doesn't move and simply let the younger teen kiss him. On contact he cup his Moyashi's face with both hands. The boy is kissing him shamelessly and he's surprise at how bold his always wary lover is acting.

Seconds pass until his lover is asking for more and Kanda gave the younger one what he was asking for. As they kiss, Kanda can't help but feel a nagging feeling. He ignored the sensation and instead focus on his lover. Their kiss turn heated and passionate before long.

The feeling of guilt emerged once more from within him, and Kanda just doesn't understand why kissing his lover is making him feel like if it were wrong. His eyes can see his lover's face clearly, but then the background of his landscape began to become a blur. Still kissing his Moyashi he glances over the boy's shoulder and found no longer the cloudy shy.

What he's seeing is nothing, but a bitch black color.

A jolt shoot through him, and Kanda came out from his once lovely dream. He blinked the sleep from his eyes only to find someone's face on his. He saw dark hair from the corner of his eye and Kanda doesn't waste time as shoved the stranger off. The ravenette quickly sat up from the couch and wiped his mouth with a hand.

"The fuck!" He glared down at the brunette model who's on the other side of the furniture holding his chest.

"What the fuck Alma!" Kanda was enrage the next heart beat and doesn't hide the fact that he's pissed. Every fiber in his body screamed at him to beat the brunette male for pulling this stupid stunt.

Alma on the other hand can't talk for his mind is still fuzzy. Yuu had completely knock the air out of him, by simply kissing him with such demand.

"Yuu-"

"Shut up! Tell me why did you kiss me?" The brunette simply stared at him before Alma reached out with a hand. Batting away the unwanted affection, Kanda sttod up from the couch.

"But Yuu, you responded to my kiss!" Alma to his on his feet and faced the angry ravenette. Why was the long haired male suddenly acting so hostile. They just kissed like they never had before. Why was Yuu so mean to him?

Kanda couldn't help but to let out a dark chuckle. "Do you want to know why I responded to your kiss?"

Alma doesn't like the way Yuu is acting suddenly. Why is the ravenette smirking as if something funny just happened? Alma never the less nodded.

"I responded because I thought I was kissing someone else."

That felt like a kick to the gut. Alma's eyes widen as he stared in shocked at his ex-lover. He thought that I was someone else. Like his lover. He felt jealousy rush through him afterwards. Whoever Yuu's lover is got to receive a lot of the ravenette's passionate moments. While Alma got none.

Kanda decided to get out of the lounge room, his peaceful resting disturbed. He doesn't find any reason to be in the lounge room or the whole building at that. He turn on his heel leaving with a small satisfaction for ruining the brunette's hopes. What would he have to do to make Alma see that he doesn't want the brunette model as a lover again.

Does Kanda have to make love with his lover in front of Alma in order for the brunette to understand that they are completely and without a doubt over? As far as Kanda knew he's already taken. He belonged to a Moyashi. To his Moyashi. Thinking of his lover made him feel as if Kanda just cheated on the younger teen. Was kissing someone without meaning to counted as cheating?

No!

Kanda Yuu was not a cheater, it didn't matter on what it was. He may be a lot of things, but a cheater never. He stepped on the hallway and glance both ways before he turned for the right. Kanda simply wanted to see his lover, the absent of the younger male did crazy things to his mind. For example the boy would appear in his every dreams. Look what that got him in, he ended up kissing another person.

Fuck.

He just couldn't keep doing this to himself. Kanda didn't even what to know what he might actually end up doing next he kept all of his sexual frustration bottle up. The ravenete really had to do something and fast. Sighing, he completely ignored the girl who just passed him by. He had a lot in his mind and stopping for a chat wasn't on top of his list. Seeing a certain someone was.

Moyashi.

She heard a low sob, her head peaked inside the room and found Alma sitting all alone in what is Kanda's lounge room. Worry, Lenalee approached the shaking form. "Alma." Lenalee softly touched his shoulder. The brunette tensed before he relax. "What's wrong?"

The male model only shook his head not wanting Lenalee to see his face. The amethyst eyed girl frown before she took a seat next to Alma. "Please talk to me, I saw Kanda leaving. Did he do something to you?" Lenalee was certain the ravenette and Alma gotten into another fight. This wasn't something new, but it still made Lenalee worry for both.

"Yuu, h-he doesn't want me anymore-" Alma broke into another sob while gathering himself into a small ball.

Oh Alma. Lenalee gather the hurting male into her embrace and slowly rocked him. "Alma, don't cry. You and I knew that Kanda is in a relationship already. Please stop hurting yourself by clinging on to him. It's over Alma, for the two of you. I know what I'm telling you because I'm in the same situation."

Hearing the girl sound so sad, Alma lift his gaze to her. She was smiling at him, but Alma can see something is not right with Lenalee.

"What do you mean by the same situation?"

Lenalee only pulled the brunette to her, blocking his view from her face. "Remember that guy with the redhair?" She pause and continue when Alma remembered. "Well, I think that he's already with someone. I saw him last time while I was shopping and finally decided to talk to him. We were talking when his girlfriend called on the phone and right after he left."

Alma released himself away from her hug and stared at the long haired girl. Lenalee looked down at her lap instead. "How can you be sure it was his girlfriend? It could have been anyone."

Keeping her head down Lenalee answer. "Alma, he left me, Lenalee Lee standing alone in the middle of the department store to rush out after a girl called him. He looked really worry as he took off."

Well, this just turn from beings his drama to Lenalee's drama. Everything always had to be taken away from him. Even when the spotlight was on him. "Lenalee, look sometimes we have to fight for what we want. If stepping over others to gain what we want then so be it. It's called life."

Her eyes shoot up to him. Where did all this came from? Alma was crying a minute ago and now he's the one giving out advise.

"I don't understand."

Sighing loudly Alma tugged Lenalee to his chest. "Lena, if you really like that guy then fight for him. So what if he has a girlfriend. You could still make him see that you're much better. Nothing will come at you by simply standing around and waiting. If you want him then go get him. Because sweetheart, no one else will for you."

Lenalee only let Alma's words sink deep before she found herself agreeing. If she really wanted Lavi then she would have to fight for him. After all Lavi never really said that he was dating anyone.

I will fight for Lavi.

Alma stroke her hair while smiling to himself. How easy was it for him to find a way to make himself feel better. His fake tears came as a great help when he had thought that Yuu was coming back. Instead he got a troubling girl. The brunette simply couldn't let the chance of having some fun slide from his hands now could he. All there was left to do is for Alma to sit back and watch Lenalee's new adventure unfold in front of his watchful eyes.
