He put aside everything that didn't involve work. He let other people deal with their own problems, ignore the many distractions that could have easily distracted him, and the most important he force himself not to think of his sister.
Lenalee.
Komui fought for a good minute before his mind wandered to his sibling. It was really hard not to think of her. Komui was always worring about her. What if some punk was flirting with her while he just sat there thinking. It made him anxious, but his mind told him otherwise then because he knew Lenalee was strong enough to stand her ground. His sister was smart and knew better than to get involve with someone who was no good. He trust Lenalee would never fall in love with someone who wasn't worth her affection, or who might end up breaking her heart.
Stop thinking about Lenalee-chan!
With a sigh, Komui focused on work. He had a lot to do and he was actually ready to set it aside for a nice long nap. No! You still have some very important things to work on. Scanning the papers on his desk, he found countless documents and contracts spread around. He began to separate everything that was finish, the ones that needed a second look and finally the newest ones. After he made three stacks, Komui began to look at the most urgent papers.
The picked up the first one and read through it. Kanda, you went and got your mini-vacation that drove many mad. But at lest he did get everything that was required of him. Signing the paper, he set it to the complete stack.
Eliade is going to Switzerland? Wow, Krory-san won't be happy about this. He gave the document a good look before giving it his signature.
Let's see who we have here. Ah, that's right Midori-chan is also traveling. It's just up north so it wouldn't take her long to return. Giving it the approval, Komui continued.
His eyes took in the contact and he scanned through it. Well this is just to good. Allen-kun you have no idea of how in demand you're becoming. Tiedoll is actually doing a good job at managing him, the man is only looking at the best for the boy.
Paper after paper, Komui saw the important stack becoming less. In an hour or so he would be done and move on with the papers that–
Ding.
His attention soon went to his computer, just as he received an e-mail. Giving the document a last look and signing the sheet, he set it aside. Komui's mind now completely set on the e-mail. He read through it and was speechless for a few seconds before he was typing on the keyboard. This will be a great business alliance. Komui thought as he send the response.
"Come in." He called out hearing the knocks on his office doors.
"Komui are you busy?" Alma stepped inside before casually sitting in front of his boss. He hoped the man could spare him some of his time.
Looking away from computer screen, Komui turn to the brunette male. "No, is something wrong?"
"Well... I was just wondering if you could help me out with something."
Seeing the male model shifting uncomfortable, Komui wonder what had the young man so fidgety. Alma wasn't the nervous or shy type. "I'll do what I can. So what is the problem?"
Sighing, the brunette stopped playing with his jeans. "I wanted to know about a new model that's working here. Can you tell me about him?"
"New model? I'm sorry Alma but you'll have to be more specific. There are a few new models working here."
Alma thought back to the day when he first saw the young male model in the elevator. "He has dark hair... oh and his skin is a paled shade, and he's this tall." The brunette stood and showed Komui the person's height compare to his.
Sitting down, Alma waited for the man to speak. "You just described mostly everyone I know. Something else you can add to his character?"
"Hmm... oh yeah he has these ashy-gray eyes. There big and shiny, makes him look very cute."
Ashy-gray eyes? Now that I think about it, the only new model with those eyes is Allen-kun. What does Alma want with him though? Komui ponder.
"I don't know why he doesn't want his identity to become public, but I think we should respect his privacy and simply go along with what Allen-kun wants. So what should we call him then?"
The man quickly remembered the talk he had with Bak the first time the boy came to them for the job offer. Both men were very intrigued about the reason the young teen wanted to hide who he really was. The young man went as far as to use a wig, Allen really didn't want anyone to know he was modeling. Komui wanted to ask every time he saw the boy, but stop himself from doing so. Bak, Tiedoll and Komui were probably the only ones who knew about Allen's real appearance and the rest just saw him as the model he pose to be.
"I think keeping who he is quiet is a good idea. If Allen-kun later want to show the world who he really is, then that is up to him. Right now he will simply be known as we said earlier-"
"Komui did you remember something?" Alma cut through his thoughts just as he was recalling something Tiedoll had said.
"Alma you do know how important the Privet Policy is in the Black Order don't you?" The young brunette only nodded. "And because of that policy I can't tell you anyone's information without the person's permission. I'm sorry Alma but I can't help you with this."
Fuck, I knew he would say something like that. "I understand Komui, but I just wanted to know his name. I already met him but didn't get his name. I can say we easily formed a good friendly ground. Please just tell me his name and I'll be gone after that."
Komui simply looked ahead of Alma thinking. The brunette was only asking for a name and there wasn't anything wrong with that. Plus, many by this point already knew that basic information, but why didn't Alma know it yet? Busy maybe.
"The model you are asking for is probably Len."
"Len? Just Len?"
Komui nodded. "Yes."
"And he's being manage by Tiedoll isn't he." It was a statement not a question.
The older man was taken aback by that. "How do you know that?"
I got you. "He told me the last time I saw him, Len that is." Alma only heard it from his manager. He said Tiedoll was managing a new model besides Yuu, and the person he described was the same person Alma came asking for.
"Yes, Tiedoll is also his manager. Now if that was all you wanted to know, I would appreciate it if you would take your leave. I have many papers to look after."
Alma wanted to keep asking the man more about this Len, but he knew he couldn't. Though, he did get two important things out of their small talk. He knew the boy's name and he confirmed his other suspicion. If Komui won't say anything else on Len, then there was Tiedoll left. "Alright, thanks Komui. Have a nice day."
The beret wearing man just saw the doors of his office close behind the retrieving model. He had an odd feeling about their conversation. He still wonder why Alma wanted to know about Allen-ken. He picked up his phone and dialed.
"Hello, Komui?"
"Tiedoll, I think you will have Alma after you."
"Alma? Why do you say that." Tiedoll sounded surprise on the other end.
"He just came to my office asking for Allen-kun. I didn't gave him much, but I think he will come to you for some answers. He said he was a friend of Allen-kun but I'm not sure they are."
"Alright, I'll handle him when see him."
With that said, Komui set the phone down and looked around his desk until a blinking light caught his attention. He had received a reply while he spoke with Alma. He quickly opened the e-mail and read the message. After he finished, Komui continued with the rest of the papers that still needed his attention. In a few weeks, the Order would be getting new people.
0o0o0o0o
Where is that man when you need him?
Alma glance left and right for any sign of the frizzy haired man, Tiedoll. It's seem as if the more he tried to find the older man, the less likely he'll find him. For the past half hour Alma felt like he was on a wild goose chase. Talking a deep breath, the brunette looked around at the thirty-first floor. He went from the top floors of the Black Order in search for Tiedoll, and he wasn't even half way of the large building and he was getting tired.
I'll take a small break and then start again. I know he has to be around. Where are Tiedoll's main stops again? Ah, that's right where ever Yuu is, but not anymore since he manages the new model, Len. Strange name but it fits him some–
Whipping his head to the side, Alma saw Tiedoll passing by with Bak. The two were discussing something as the model could tell. Getting up, Alma easy caught up to the two.
"Tiedoll! Hey wait!"
The glasses wearing man stopped and so did the blonde. "Alma?"
"I'll see you later." Bak whispered before he took off somewhere else.
Once the photographer was gone, Alma turn back to the once missing man. He finally found him. "Hi."
A small awkward silence follow behind Alma's greeting. Tiedoll just looked at the younger man waiting for him to continue, but when nothing else came out, Tiedoll began. "Is there anything you wanted? You looked troubled?" You were right Komui.
Seeing an opening Alma took it. "Well yes. I was wondering about that new model you took under your management. Can you tell me a bit about him?"
"May I ask why you want to know about him?"
Alma gave their surrounding a look over before he settle back on the older man. He didn't know how to ask, but he thought he should just be blunt. It would be easier than playing the I'm-so-nervous-please-have-mercy-on-me attitude, which sucked. "I met him the other day and I really like him. Tell me everything about him. What he likes? What he doesn't like? How old is he? Where is he from? You know everything."
This doesn't sound good. "I can't tell you anything. Alma you know perfectly well that a manager can't openly discuss their clients personal life unless it's business related. I'm sorry, but if you what to know about Len-kun then you must ask him directly."
"I want-"
"Did you just said Len? As in the new cute Len?" Tiedoll and Alma simultaneously looked sideways. A blonde female stood looking at them waiting for either one to speak. "Well answer me." Eliade said impatiently.
"I'm sorry my dear. Yes we were talking about my new client, Len."
Alma saw a rare smile on the female model. Eliade did sexy better than happy. "Really now. Please keep talking I would like to hear about him too."
"Wait you know Len?"
Before Eliade could utter a word, someone else did. "Of course, have you not seen the latest issues being published?" Another blonde woman decided to join in their small group. Klaud Nine, was a sight to be hold. She was tall, beautiful and stunningly attractive. She tossed a magazine she had in hand to the brunette male then turn to the older man. "Well, are you not going to say anything else Tiedoll?"
Tiedoll was rather shook. He knew the attention Allen-kun gathered every time he step inside the Order, but he didn't knew it reach that high. Ever since the day the young man finally debuted as a model, Tiedoll show how much people took notice of him.
Alma fumbled with the story before he finally found what he was looking for. In five pages he saw the male model he was searching for. Finally, Alma had a better look at the boy and the brunette could not deny the young model was a real looker. He's not only cute, but sexy in an innocent way. A way someone would love to corrupt. He's perfect for what I need. With a small smirk, Alma listen as Tiedoll began to tell them about Len and his first arrival at the Order a few weeks ago. But as Tiedoll went on, Alma didn't really get anything personal about the new model. It was all work and new projects Len had.
So not worth the time. Maybe I'll run into him if I just look around. With his mind set, Alma tapped Tiedoll on shoulder. "Forget what I asked."
Tiedoll only saw the brunette walk away until he was no longer in sight. Happy that he didn't let Alma on anything about Allen-kun, he turn back to the talking woman.
"He's so cute. When I fist saw him I wanted to hug him." Eliade said thinking back at the first time she spotted the model.
Nodding Cloud added. "Yes he's something to watch. Young, but in a couple of years he will develop very nicely."
These ladies are not actually acting themselves, I would like to think it doesn't involve Allen-kun at all. Tiedoll only smiled as he stood listening to the two female models.
"Achoo!"
Allen sniff and wrinkled his nose. He was slightly worried that he might be getting the flu. The heater in his apartment finally got fixed after almost two weeks. He was wondering if staying in a cold place for a long time was bad.
"Bless you."
"Thank you, but really Kanda is this actually necessary?" Allen glanced up at the older teen. He didn't want to say it, but the ravenette was actually acting rather childless today.
Kanda looked at his lover as they waited for the elevator to get to their floor. "Yes it is."
"You know, Lavi will find us."
"I doubt the baka knows where we are."
For the past hour since they arrived at the Order, Kanda has done nothing but drag Allen around trying to hide from Lavi. The redhead was very ecstatic to say the lest when they first arrived at the agency.
"I feel giddy, this place is huge!"
"Wow, I can actually recognize a lot of people here."
"Dude is that Shinji Miyu!"
Lavi was really happy and Allen was ready to show the redhead around, but Kanda had other things in mind. Such as getting Lavi distracted for a second before the ravenette all but ditched Lavi behind. Allen only shook his head at the that. Yet Kanda didn't know one thing, and that Allen was secretly messaging Lavi about their location, and the reason the redhead could easily find them. The silver eyed teen didn't want his best friend to end up causing trouble or to get worry about not finding them.
"I feel like we're playing hide-and-go-seek." Allen murmur himself.
Kanda fully turn to his Moyashi and cupped his small face, making him look up. "I know of a better game we could play." The model gazed deeply at the confuse face of his lover.
Slowly Allen felt blood rushing up to his face. He still found himself shy when he would look at Kanda in the eyes. His mind would instantly wander back to the night he shared with the other teen. It was impossible for his mind to stop the images to surface.
"Let me show you." Kanda lowered down and capture his lover in a deep searching kiss. He felt the younger man push him at the beginning before he gave in. He wrapped his arms around his lover, pressing him closer to his body.
Allen let his hands ran up until they locked behind the ravenette's neck. How was Kanda able to always raise this heat from within him? Allen wasn't like this before, but every time he was hold by Kanda or kissed, this sudden need over took him. Just as Allen felt the air of his lungs become less, he felt something brush against his hip. He broke away from Kanda, and glance down before he turn to look at the older teen on the face shock for what he found.
"It's what you do to me." Kanda only pressed his excitement against his lover. The reaction of his Moyashi would always be to his enjoyment.
"B-Bakanda you pervert." Allen finally snapped out of it and was able to free himself from the ravenette's hold.
Kanda only watched his lover scurry further to a corner. "Moyashi-"
Ding.
Ah, save. Allen quickly stepped out of the machine and he found himself taking a deep breath, calming his fast beating heart. "So where are we going?" He follow the older model as they were on their tenth stop at trying to hide from Lavi, well Kanda was. Allen stayed a step behind the other male, and quickly message Lavi before he pocket his phone. Just as they were walking around, Allen stopped some one familiar.
"Hey Tiedoll-san."
The three people talking looked back, and in coming was the person they were discussing. The two blonde woman smiled excitedly at the smiling Len, and next to him the not so happy looking Kanda. "Len-kun, Yuu-kun I'm so happy you can join us." Tiedoll eagerly beckon them to get closer.
Len-kun? Kanda question as he glanced down at his lover. The younger teen kept smiling unfazed by the name.
"Tiedoll-san, I was-"
Before anyone knew it – or could react – Allen was pull forward into a tight and breathless hug. The young teen only felt his face come in contact with something very soft, warm and the sweet scent of perfume hit him.
"Eliade!" Klaud snapped as she saw the blonde hug the cute boy to herself. The older blonde quickly tugged the young man until he was free.
"Hey! Give him back!" Eliade shouted with indignation as she watch Len being press securely to Klaud's large chest.
In the mean time, one Kanda Yuu went from stunned to livid as he watch his lover being woman-handle by the two blondes. He felt his every nerve tensing and his entire being roared with anger. His possessiveness made its self known, and the only thing holding him back from lashing out was something his Moyashi told him some time back.
"Please just promise me you won't do anything without thinking about it."
"Stop... pulling him Klaud!" Eliade manage to keep Len in her arms and turn away from the other woman, pressing the slightly struggling boy to her chest. "Shh. I got you know."
Klaud scuff and rounded Eliade. "You have a boyfriend my dear, what are you doing touching another man?" Klaud took Len back, as Eliade look startle by her words.
Tiedoll, who saw everything since the start was baffle. What were these two thinking Allen-kun was? A barbie doll to fight over for? Sighing, the man finally took notice of the deadly air on the other side of the women. His Yuu-kun was seething with anger. His eyes alone spoke of death, a painful one at that. Then it happen, his son turn to Tiedoll demanding the man do something. His Yuu was hanging from a very thin thread. Nodding, Tiedoll turn back to the bickering woman and the teen who was still struggling to get free, but he wasn't being forceful to being with. What could it do?
"P-Please..." Was all Tiedoll heard from Allen-kun before he got tugged back to the woman's chest.
"Let him go Eliade you have Aristar!"
"So, you have a bunch of men and you don't see me whining about it!"
"But I'm not the one in a long committed relationship like you!" Klaud manage to tug Len back into her arms.
Allen then found himself being tugged from both ends of his arms. The two blondes had him in a tug-of-war game. He wasn't really paying attention for he was trying to breathe, he was almost suffocated and his brain felt mussy.
"Let him go!"
"No! You let him go you have a boyfriend!"
"I said-"
"Oh my he's bleeding!" Tiedoll pointed out, half yelling his lungs out. The women arguing over the boy stopped, and looked at the young model who was bleeding from the nose. Poor Len looked lost and not at all well.
Seeing his Moyashi hurt, Kanda had it. He stepped forward and took hold of the younger male. He glared at the two woman who looked ready to yell at Kanda for taking him way. The two were luck to be woman or they would had the beating of their life.
"Help him clean up and take him to the nurse if necessary." Tiedoll called out as he saw his Yuu-kun leading a dizzy Allen-kun away.
"Wow, I didn't think something like that would happen." Eliade said moments later.
Klaud only fixed her hair as the last five minutes didn't occur. "Why are you surprise, my girls always give men nosebleed." The older blonde motion to her bosoms sounding quite proud.
"Psh whatever, Len was bleeding because of me." The shorter blonde fire back.
"Yeah, keep dreaming sweetie."
Tiedoll sweat-dropped, these two should never be in the same room, and specially not when Allen-kun was around. It wouldn't end up good. He turn back to where his son had left and really hoped the teen was alright.
0o0o0o0o
Allen splashed cold water on to his face. He completely ignored the angry and watchful Kanda who stood to the side. Allen only wanting to get the blood wash off from his face, and at the same time not think about what just happened outside. In his life, Allen had never been fought over for so violently. It scared him at a point when he couldn't breathe. Serious though, he really thought he was going to pass out. You didn't faint, no better yet you had a nosebleed. Now thinking about it passing out would have been much better, less bloody and all.
"You enjoy what happened didn't you?"
Allen stopped rubbing his face, before he turn away from Kanda and reached for a paper towel. "No why would I?" He asked while drying his face.
"So the nosebleed had nothing to do with the enjoyment of it?"
He could hear the sarcasm in the question. "No, I think I hit one of their chest bone which caused the nosebleed." Allen knew that wasn't true. He might be dating Kanda, but that doesn't mean his male instincts have died. No those instincts haven't died at all. Allen always found woman attractive, hell he thought he was going to be marry to one at a certain point. What happened with the two women was just a natural response from his brain Allen concluded. And to be honest, Allen had never been pressed up to a woman's chest before, so yes blame him for getting a nosebleed.
But still, who I love is this Bakanda out of everyone else. Even when he's at his most jealous. It's rather nice seeing it, maybe he does feel the same way-
Allen was spun around so quickly, he just saw a blur before he was facing the ravenette. "Stop thinking about it."
Blinking his eyes at the older teen, Allen smiled softly at the upset Kanda. "I wasn't. I was thinking about you and how cute you are when you're jealous."
Kanda only stare at his lover. Was the boy really thinking about him and not about the two blondes? Not about what they did to his– Cute?
Scuffing Kanda looked away. "I'm not cute."
Allen found this childless side of Kanda endearing. "You know, I love seeing you like this."
Love.
The older male turn back to his lover again. The word slipped from his Moyashi effortlessly, softly and genuinely. "You love me?" Say it and everything else won't matter to me anymore.
Allen found himself swallowing dry. This wasn't where he wanted their conversation to go, and he wasn't about to confess his heart to Kanda in the man's restroom. No! He instead stepped up to the older teen not trusting himself with words.
Kanda easily held his lover as the boy looked up and they locked eyes. He was ready to hear the Moyashi's undying love confession. He was surprise to find his lover kissing him instead, but Kanda couldn't complain either.
This might not be the right time to tell you but...
"Kanda, I-"
Just as his Moyashi was ready to say anything the door to the restroom opened with a loud thud.
"Dudes this place is awesome!" Lavi only got the chance to see Allen jumped away from Kanda as if the model burned him. The redhead tilted his head to the side and smiled. "What were you two doing?"
This moment was why Kanda didn't what to bring the annoying redhead to the Order. Kanda probably just missed out on the confession he was dying to hear. Baka usagi!
"Lavi there you are, I was about to tell Kanda to look for you." Allen felt a pair of eyes on his back and decided not to turn back. He was actually glad Lavi interrupted, he almost said it.
The emerald eyed teen just wrapped an arm around his best friend, enjoying the anger that rolled from Kanda as waves. "I'm here Al, don't miss me too much. I simply got distracted by something out there and when I looked around you guys were gone." His teasing eyes landed on Kanda and lifted an eyebrow at the model. The other man simply yanked the smaller teen away from Lavi. The redhead pouted before pulling Allen back.
"Baka-"
"Okay then, I don't want to be caught in between this again." Allen wiggled out of Lavi's hold and went back to retrieve his wing. He didn't like the idea of another tug-of-war game. He put on the ebony wig back on his head and placed it securely.
"I must say, you look really good with dark hair Al, ever thinking about coloring it permanently?"
"Not really, but who knows."
Stepping out from the restroom, and walking further in the large place, Allen looked around to see a lot and he means a lot of people watching them. He was in the middle trying to hide between the two much taller men. He didn't like being watch. "What time is it Kanda?" He remembered that had to be with Bak soon.
"Almost three why-"
"Three! Fudge, I forgot I need to pick Fō up from practice."
The couple only watch as Lavi search for his mobile in his pocket. Once the redhead made sure he didn't get any calls from the petite girl, he turn to his friends. "I have to go. I'll call you later Al, bye Yuu-chan."
They saw Lavi practically speed walk to the elevator where he disappeared. Kanda frown, the redhead will never stop calling him by that ridicules name, he wasn't surprise. "Fudge?" The ravenette echo looking at his Moyashi.
Allen shrugged. "Lavi's grandfather doesn't like him to cuss and he finds ways to be creative."
"Why did he looked so worry?" Not that Kanda cared or anything.
Allen lead the way whilst speaking to the model. "Mm, you haven't noticed it Kanda?" The older male just glanced at him telling Allen to just say it. "Lavi is in love with Fō." Kanda stopped walking and Allen chuckled, a confused Kanda was priceless.
"What?"
Nodding the teen continue. "It's true, Lavi is in love with Fō. They both are actually, but the two are just too stubborn to say it."
Kanda soon found himself looking at the closed doors of the elevator. It sounded complicated for the redhead and the girl. Lavi was a loud mouth annoying baka and Fō, well she was quiet and short-tempered. But through the many differences from the two, Kanda could see the redhead and the girl together. Just now, Lavi's worry showed him how much the redhead cared for the girl.
"Let's go find Bak-san."
The ravenette stepped in after his lover in the cab. He gazed down at his Moyashi before kissing him on the lips. He slightly wonder if he could have ever been near the teen and not have the chance to hold him.
At the end Kanda couldn't see himself not holding his Moyashi.
Good luck... Baka.
She instantly took noticed of the redhead who stepped in the room. She kept her back to him and focused on what was happening in front of her. However as she watched on, Fō couldn't stop her mind from drifting back to the newly arrival. Why did he came? He isn't suppose to act the moment she said something. He should always tell her 'no' when she asked for anything. He should say that he was busy and couldn't take her anywhere. Friends weren't always there for insignificant things.
Lavi you idiot.
Why couldn't he open his eyes and see the time he was wasting on her. Fō wasn't going to say anything on what she knew about the redhead. Lips seal, for as long as it will take Lavi to notice his mistake.
"The both of us know he isn't the type to be confuse about anything. He always knows what he's doing, where he's going and especially what he wants. He isn't wrong."
She brushed away the thought. Allen didn't know what he was talking about. The boy had a few problems back then when he said that sentence to her. Lavi was wrong and she's right. Fō is willing to prove that Lavi was confused in just a couple of days.
And it will work.
She ignored the tightness in her chest, it was only a sign of victory trying to rip its way out. As soon as Lavi can really open his eyes, Fō will smiled triumphantly because she is right.
0o0o0o0o
He stood to the side watching them. Everyone in the room didn't get distracted as he stepped inside. All the students in the martial-arts class continue as if Lavi never enter the large training room. The first person his eyes search for was the girl with tangerine mane. Lavi instantly spotted her, as he always did. To the redhead, Fō always stood up even from the largest crowd.
Lavi simply watched her as she sat a few feet away from two men practicing their skills with each other. As captain the petite girl simply observed, and only got involved when their teacher asked her to help him with demonstrations. Mostly of the time, the female captain would judge the fighting unless someone had the courage enough to ask for a fight. Lavi had witness many of the few practices Fō really got involved.
He did sneak around to see Fō when she was training only because he felt an urge to see her. He felt like a total stalker at the beginning, but soon he simply waved the feeling away. Was it really bad to watch someone you care for in secrecy? The redhead sometimes wanted to punch himself on the face for not having the guts and just tell the girl about his feeling. Most of the time he would simply stay way, saying he would soon move on from this unrequited love.
He loved her and he knew. He preferred labeling it as a crush, it made it better to bare with. A crush, would mostly like be forgotten. Love, now that was hard to move on from. Lavi still couldn't really pinpoint at what time he finally crossed that line when he simply just liked Fō. Was it the first time when the girl really smiled at him? Or when Lavi made her laugh so much she shed a few tears? Maybe it was actually on the day when Fō really opened up to him about her life, Lavi had seen her so vulnerable and sensitivity that he thought that it wasn't Fō at all.
Lost in his memories, Lavi didn't even felt fifteen minutes gone by as he was thinking of Fō, who was walking right up to him. He didn't hear the girl speak the first time, until he left a slap on the arm.
"If you want to sleep go home."
Shaking himself and rubbing his arm, Lavi grinned. "Sorry, I was just thinking that you are the smallest thing in the room."
"I would kick your ass if I wasn't looking after everyone until Yamato-sensai returns from an errand. Class will be over as soon as he gets back."
It was all Fō told him before she turn around, and walked back to the rest of the group. Lavi watched her like a hawk and what he saw right after didn't set well with him. From where Lavi stood, he saw the majority of the boys look at the petite girl passed by. At lest pretend like you aren't watching her you idiots. Lavi glared at them all. He didn't appreciate the ogling Fō was getting. Either the girl was really good at ignoring the gazes or she was really that oblivious. Lavi went with the latter, mostly to calm the sudden stir in his stomach.
"Practice is dismiss." At last old Yamato returned and everyone headed for the locker rooms. Lavi decided to step out and wait for Fō there.
0o0o0o0o
"Ready?"
Fō stepped out from the girl's locker room looking as if she never was actually training. The girl looked flawless even when she was in the room for five minutes. Lavi nodded finding everyday harder to simply see the female as only a friend. They began to make their way out, the long corridor empty. It was Saturday after all and only clubs and other groups came to campus.
"When is your grandpa coming back?" Fō asked not wanting the silence to continue. For once she wanted to hear Lavi speak, his silence made her nervous.
Lavi eyes easily landed on the girl. "I don't really know, in a few weeks maybe."
"And what are you doing to keep yourself busy now that you don't have to go often to the publishing building?"
The redhead soon began to tell the girl of the many things he was planing to do with his free time. He of course, left out the fact that he was spending most of his time at the agency with Allen. "I think I should throw a part the day we get out for summer break. What do you think? Many people will surely come, guys you might like to meet." Lavi smiled, but deep down he didn't want Fō to be with anyone else but him.
The girl went silent, and looked thoughtful about something. "I will tell you something but don't laugh." Lavi only have her a nod and was really curious about what Fō would say. "I... I got asked out on a date and I said yes."
Suddenly Lavi felt like he couldn't breathe. His chest felt tight. It hurts. What's this painfully discomfort in my chest?
Turning around, Fō found Lavi standing there staring off into space. She frown at his stoic way. "Hey, you okay?"
Fō was going out on a date? With someone Lavi didn't know about. She was going out with someone else. She doesn't see Lavi at all. "Ah, sorry I-I was... thinking about h-how good that is." For the first time, Lavi couldn't see her in the face. It hurt to do so.
For some reason she didn't believe him. The sudden avoidance of eyes told her the redhead was not well. This is not how he should be reacting. Fō saw the twitching of his hands before they turn into fists. "Lavi-"
"Let's go, I need to drop you off at your house." He walked pass her wanting to create as much distance as possible. He heard her walking right behind him, and Lavi didn't bother to look back.
"Hey! Wait what's the hurry?"
Was she really asking him? Lavi didn't answer and continue to walk, the faster they got to the car the better. He would drive her home and not see her until Monday or longer if he could find the opportunity.
"Lavi!"
He didn't pay attention to her calls, maybe he can tune her out for the first time. The redhead ignored her voice as she yelled at him to stop, and refuse to take notice of his name on her lips. He always loved listening to her before, but now he didn't want to anymore.
"Stop why are you ignoring me?"
That's it.
Lavi stopped abruptly and Fō slammed into his back which caused her to stumble back. After she balanced herself, the girl face the taller man. "What's with you?"
He didn't know what to do suddenly, he only faced down. Lavi then saw her sneakers come into his vision. Don't look up.
"Hey what's wrong?" Fō carefully try to find Lavi's eyes. The way he was acting was so not the redhead she knew. Well it's not like she knew him really well, but still this change in his mood was off. Lavi stayed quiet and Fō soon found herself irritated, she wasn't the type of person who had enough patience.
Before Lavi knew it, he got shoved against the wall, his back hitting the hard surface. His head snapped up looking directly at Fō. He was shock at the strength the girl had over him.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" Fō gazed up at the redhead disapproving the male's behavior. She only saw Lavi biting his lower lips and looking everywhere but her. Her hands on his chest only pushed Lavi further on the wall. She wasn't letting him go until he spoke.
Don't you talk! Stay quiet, she will let you go soon. If you do anything now it will be over. No longer friends, do you want-
"Lavi!"
Don't look at her!
"Hey say something!"
If you do she will hate you!
"Lavi you better-"
He kissed her then.
Fō was stun for a few seconds before she stared at him wide-eyed. Lavi was kissing her and holding her at the same time. She felt his long arms around her, the warmth of his body difficult to ignore. His lips molding with hers in a way she never thought possible.
He's confused! He's confused! He's confused! He's- I'm confused! And something inside of her snapped.
With a hard shove, Lavi let her go. He was startle for what he did the second they broke apart. He couldn't believe it, and before any words could be formed on his lips, he got punched on the face. Hard. Time stopped as Lavi touched his wound cheek. So that is her answer huh? He saw it coming a mile away. With the shred of dignity he had left, Lavi faced her.
Fō was so angry, no she was furious. She was shaking, hands tight into balls. Her cheeks a shade of ruby. "You idiot!"
What follow after her loud statement was surreal. Fō launched forwards, gripped the front of Lavi's shirt, pulled him down and kissed him. She kissed him! For a moment Lavi didn't know what was happening before he felt the reality of it. Fō, his unrequited love was kissing him. Almost two years of only watching her from the side and he never thought this would happen, but when he felt that it was really happening, he quickly took hold of her.
He kissed her with everything he had. For all those times he wanted to kiss her and was not allowed or to afraid to make a move. Lavi felt her return the affection, and that only made him embrace her tightly. Maybe she'll return to her senses. He thought, but at that second he didn't care. All that matter to him was the opportunity he was experiencing at the moment. Slowly their once heated kiss turn into soft pecks. Lavi tried to breathe as he rested his forehead against the smaller one. He found himself unable to look away from her beautifully eyes. Where he found no rejection like he feared.
"I... know." Fō said breathless.
Lavi stared at her. "Know what?"
The girl smiled and Lavi felt is heart beat a bit faster. "You like me."
The blush adoring her cheeks turn darker and Lavi chuckled. "Was I really that predictable?" Fō nodded and Lavi have her a soft kiss unable to stop. He would tell her later on that he was actually in lover with her. Right now with what they had, was more than what he could ask for.
She slowly pulled away from him and straight up. "We should go." She was shy then, even when Fō tried to not look like she was.
Lavi reached out and patted her on the head gently before touching her cheek, turning her to look at him in the eyes. "You are mine now and won't be going out with anyone but me right?"
She wanted to look away, but Fō found that she couldn't it. She nodded as she watch Lavi smile, a smile that wasn't the annoying grin of his, but a smile that made her happy. Her heart beating loud in her chest and she knew this feeling she always felt for Lavi wasn't simply friendly, but deeper.
Ignorance took me as far as it could.
On that warm afternoon, Lavi took her small hand into his. He gazed at the person who at a certain time felt so far away from his reach. He led her out, ready for what tomorrow would bring them. She looked up and his green eyes met her. Fō wasn't really sure how she would handle this new relationship, but she was willing to try. Life wasn't easy and she liked it just as it was. She had Lavi now, he could be the one to fill that void in her heart. He squeezed her hand softly before pulling Fō to his side. Her small frame fitting perfectly with his. She glanced up at him and Lavi got rewarded with her warm and lovely smile.
"That hurt you know."
And she laughed, warming him that much deeper. Love really was a mystery.
