Hello everyone~! Thank you once more for sticking with me so far! I hope I won't disappoint you. Though I'm not sure with this chapter, I myself don't like it very much :P
Also there have been requests that I make this a Yullen or an Arekan (not both) so I'm not sure how to continue with that.. I know picturing Kanda as uke is really hard and when I do it he'll probably be waaaay out of character, but I can't picture Allen as being completely submissive either, seeing as they're 'rivals'. So I figured I'll make both of them be the bottom sometimes. Please give me your opinion on this and maybe some ideas?
Well, hope you enjoy!
Open your eyes – Chapter 6 Kisses
Kanda laid his lips on Allen's once more, not giving up, when suddenly Allen sat up coughing water out of his longs. He rolled to his stomach and was coughing and retching to get all that water out of his system. All the while Kanda stroked soothing circles on Allen's back.
"you okay?" Kanda asked. He received a slight nod from the boy. He then stood up and took his coat off. He placed it over the boy and went to the finder. Allen was surprised, but he let it be. He was to woozy to make a big deal out of it.
After Kanda looked the finder over, he went to the lake, made a cup of his hands and filled it with water. He then went back to the finder and let the water fall on his face. The finder sprang awake Shocked and hyper alert. He only had a little scratch, he just fainted from fear. Kanda gave him a good scolding for it. Telling him he should grow a pair if he wanted to be a finder.
"oi, moyashi? Can you walk? Let's continue looking for the Innocence."
"Yes. Let's continue." Allen said stiffly. He then struggled to get up, getting a bit dizzy on the way, but when he was up all the way there appeared to be nothing wrong with boy anymore. Allen looked himself over, he seemed mostly intact. A few bruises and scratches here and there. Not to mention the big bulge on his forehead, but he'd live. 'I lost my gloves though'
"Kanda, Seeing as all the Akuma showed up at this place, I assume the Innocence should be near here just like we thought." Allen concluded.
"I thought so too. Lets split up and search the area some more. I'll go this way" Kanda said as he turned around and went into the direction of the forest.
Allen went the exact opposite direction. Leading him back towards the flower beds. 'those flowers are really pitiful' Allen thought as he passed the Tsuwabuki plants once more. Allen started thinking were could the Innocence be? It had come into contact with a lot of people so definitely not somewhere secluded. "Sai-san, how quickly did the infection affect the people since coming into contact with this place?". Allen asked the finder.
"Well it differs really, but most people said that they felt 'itchy' after being here for only an hour."
"mhh.. One of the thing most people do when they come here is swimming. It's only been less than half an hour since I entered the water.. Not enough time for the infection to start.. I'll have to wait more to see if I am infected.. But then Kanda and Sai touched the water as well, so we won't know for sure if it's because of the water.. another dead end.." Allen mumbled to himself. 'Let's leave the water for last, it's to vast to search for innocence..' he thought.
"Sai let's think. What would most people here have touched?" Allen's gaze went towards a bog tree "Maybe that big tree is giving of something through the air? Let's go see" Allen walked towards the tree with Sai following behind him.
"If we think like that sir, it could be anything."
"You're right Sai-san. But we have to start somewhere. Now let's see. This tree doesn't look special, I don't feel anything from it either. It's not here, this is just an ordinary tree." Just then Kanda came back from the forest. He walked over to Allen. "Kanda! Did you find anything?" Allen asked.
"No nothing but trees there moyashi."
"My name is Allen, Bakanda!" Allen said back. "I tried to look for things that most people would've come into contact with. But I'm drawing a blank here, it would be too much to search every blade of grass or every drop of water and w-" Allen stopped suddenly.
"and we what? Moyashi?"
"How silly of us. It's obvious where the innocence is" Allen said while looking over Kanda's shoulder. Towards to Tsuwabuki plants. "If your entire family was on the brink of extinction, and you had the power of god shoved in your hands. Would you not try to save what's left of your family?" Allen said as he walked towards the plants. The three searched the flowerbeds when Kanda came across a flower that was already full grown in size, but for some reason the flower petals were still closed.
"Moyashi, here" Kanda delicately opened the flower and sure enough, the Innocence was securely in it. Kanda took it and put it in his inner pocket. "Innocence recovered" He announced.
"Great. Let's head back to town and contact Komui-san." Allen said as they began the trek back to town. The Finder had gone ahead to see when their train would leave, while Allen and Kanda headed towards the inn. When they were passing the busy streets there was suddenly a ball rolling up to Allen's feet. Allen picked it up an looked around him, there was a boy staring at him as if he'd just seen a monster, his gaze went from his ball, to Allen's hand, to his hair and ended on Allen's face, no doubt looking at the pentacle just above his brow. 'I forgot to cover my hand!' Allen thought.
Kanda was about to say something when he noticed Allen wasn't walking next to him anymore. He turned around and saw Allen with a little boy.
"Give me my ball back you freak!" The boy yelled at Allen. Kanda looked at Allen. Allen had that same smile on his face as he slowly walked to the boy to give him the ball back. But when Allen took one step forwards the boy took one backwards. Kanda's gaze remained on Allen. The boy still had a smile on his face but there was something else beneath it as well. Allen kneeled down and gently rolled the ball back over the ground towards the boy. The boy picked it up and sprinted away after yelling "freak" once more to Allen. Kanda looked around. A lot of people where staring at Allen now. Allen pulled his hood over his head and buried his hands in his pockets before continuing walking back to the inn. "sorry for the wait Kanda" Allen said with a smile.
"che, whatever" He answered as they continued.
They had arrived at the inn about five minutes later. The village wasn't very large so crossing it wouldn't take much time. Kanda went to the innkeeper, to announce they had returned and that they required food. The innkeeper told them he would bring it up in about five minutes. Allen had been standing behind Kanda, not saying anything. 'Che, whatever' Kanda thought.
After they were done talking to the innkeeper, Kanda and Allen headed towards the second floor. As they were ascending the stairs, Kanda suddenly heard a hard rumbling finishing with a loud 'thud'. As he looked backwards, hand already on Mugen's hilt, He saw it was no Akuma. No. the moyashi had fallen down the stairs. 'God.. Baka moyashi.' "Oi moyashi, learn how to walk, you idiot." Kanda said. He then wanted to continue climbing the stairs, when he noticed Allen didn't respond. 'Che. Knocked himself unconscious.. how lame.' Kanda went down the stairs and picked the boy up. He then realized however, that the boy was hot, very hot. As in, he had a fever. "God, that idiot!" Kanda yelled as he brought Allen to their room and laid the boy on the bed. He took the boys shoes and coat off, and laid the covers over him. He then went to the bathroom to get a wet towel and put it on the boys forehead.
With the finer still gone, Kanda figured he should just start dressing Allen's wounds. After thoroughly cleaning and bandaging his wounds. Kanda went to take a shower to wash of all the blood from his now healed wounds. While he was in the bathroom still, he heard the door to their room open. He figured it was the finder. After he was clothed again, he emerged from the bathroom looking completely refreshed.
"Ah, Kanda-dono. I see Walker-dono has contracted a fever. Shall I go get some medicine from downstairs?" The finder asked. After getting an affirmative nod from Kanda, the finder went off again.
Kanda went to Allen's side to re-wet the towel on Allen's forehead. Just then the boy started to stir awake. "ah Kanda?" Allen asked tiredly.
"Che. Stupid moyashi. You had to go and get sick again huh.." Kanda mumbled to him.
"Sorry Kanda. Even after all the trouble you went through to save me" Allen giggled, the fever making his mind a bit foggy. Then suddenly Kanda felt something yank his hair downwards, bring his cheek in contact with Allen's lips. "Thank you Kanda, for saving me" Kanda blushed as he threw himself back. He looked at the boy and found he had fallen asleep. "Che.."
Soon afterwards, the finder returned with the medicine. He also informed Kanda that the next train would leave tomorrow morning at 7am. Kanda then realized he had forgotten to call Komui, and went to do so. After informing Komui. Kanda settled in his bed. Unable to sleep, memories of his moyashi surfaced again. A hand ghosted his cheek as he remembered the tingling sensation of Allen's lips. Then he realized. He had used CPR on the boy. He had kissed him. Kanda's face became as red as a tomato. He looked over at the sleeping boy and went over to him. He sat on the side of the bed, staring at the boys face. He put a hand on his forehead to feel the fever had lowered. He looked at the boy some more, before leaning down and placing a soft gentle kiss on the boys lips.
Please remember to review! I'm open to ideas as long as they fit in the story! :)
Thank you for reading!
