In the previous chapter
The boy quickly jumped to Allen and hugged him tightly. Burying his face on Allen's shoulder, he sobbed there silently like a kid, still trembling with fear. Allen's heart skipped a beat because of the sudden action and hugged back the little boy subconsciously.
Lost (chapter 7) Yullen
Seeing this, Kanda glared at Allen fiercely. "Mo-ya-shi," Kanda called Allen putting stress in every syllable of his nickname. "When did I ever allow you to hug anyone but me?" Kanda asked coldly but strongly.
Allen took one step back (still hugging the boy), fearing that Kanda would cut the two of them into pieces. He looked at Kanda nervously. "B-BaKanda, that's because you just scared the hell out of him," he explained fast, not even asking Kanda what's so bad about hugging a kid.
Hearing the unwanted answer of his bean sprout, Kanda drew his Mugen and pointed it on the boy's head.
Allen took steps back again. "W-Wait Kanda, I'll talk to him," he said nervously.
Kanda put back a calm face and withdrew his Mugen. He looked at his bean sprout and waited for what he will say.
Allen let out a sigh and looked down at the boy. "Little me," he called the shounen, rubbing the back of his head gently. "Don't cry, it's okay," Allen comforted the boy despite seeing his lover glaring at him intensely already.
The shorter boy looked up at Allen unsurely. "Onii-san…" he whispered. Allen's heart skipped a beat again. The boy stopped crying already but his tears were still there. "You look just like me," he said as he pulled away from the hug.
Kanda walked beside Allen and looked at the little boy angrily. The boy took one-step back before hearing the Japanese man's voice. "Of course, you fucking bean sprout II. You're imitating my bean sprout after all," Kanda said claiming that Allen is his.
Allen looked at Kanda, annoyed at what he had heard. "BaKanda, we're not bean sprouts," he pouted.
"Tch," Kanda looked at Allen. "Behind me, Moyashi," Kanda said seriously.
Seeing Kanda's serious face, Allen walked behind Kanda. It was like Kanda was protecting him from something dangerous which literally is not.
Once Allen was behind him, Kanda looked at the boy seriously. "Who are you?" Kanda asked the boy with a very deep voice.
The boy straightened his body quickly. "I'm… I'm Nathan Spade, nice to meet you," he introduced himself as he bowed his head.
"Moyashi-chan!" Lavi called loudly.
Hearing the voice of Lavi, Nathan turned around quickly. He looked at where the voice came from and saw the red-haired guy. He tried to run but before he could even take a step, Lavi hugged him tightly. He pushed Lavi away, or at least, he tried to. He can't free himself from Lavi's hug.
"Moyashi-chan, why are you resisting? We should make Yuu jealous." Lavi said to the boy. "Now, now. Calm, Moyashi-chan," he said wrapping his arms around Nathan's slim waist, lifting the boy lightly as he does it because the shounen is too short for him.
The boy stopped resisting and blushed darkly at the situation. He rested his shaking hands on Lavi's chest and looked at it nervously (he didn't know where to look so he just looked at his hands).
Kanda just looked at the two of them, confused. Allen peep behind Kanda, wanting to see what was happening. He clutched Kanda's coat from behind and moved his head a little to the right so he could see the two. "Kanda, does Lavi know him?" Allen asked Kanda in a whisper.
"Idiot bean sprout," Kanda whispered back to Allen, not really answering his lover's question. Allen pouted cutely as a response.
Lavi looked down on Nathan. "Moyashi-chan, have you gotten shorter?" he asked Nathan.
Nathan shook his head as an answer.
"Ok," Lavi answered with a smile. "Now, hug me back and let's piss Yuu," he demanded cheerfully.
Kanda frowned angrily at Lavi. He's already jealous because of what the little boy did to Allen. "Baka Usagi," Kanda called Lavi, making the rabbit look at him. "If you want to make me feel jealous, hug the right bean sprout," he told Lavi, smirking.
"BaKanda, I told you already, I'm not a bean sprout," Allen said, still standing behind Kanda, though his head can be seen because he's still looking at what was going on.
Lavi looked at Allen confusedly, then on the boy he's currently hugging. He looked at Allen again then back to Nathan. Nathan was blushing darkly. "Ehhh?" Lavi pushed the boy away making him sit on the floor.
"Oww," Nathan hissed painfully. He has been receiving too much pain today. His bleeding wrists are proof.
Lavi looked at the boy and inspected him a little. The boy really looks like Allen. Lavi sat in front of the boy and got his handkerchief. He tore it into two pieces and held the boy's wrists up.
Nathan looked at him fearfully.
"It's fine, don't be afraid of me," Lavi said looking at the boy. "There's no doubt Yuu did this to you," he stated surely, wrapping each piece of his handkerchief on the boy's wrists.
Kanda looked at Lavi intensely. "Baka Usagi," Kanda was ready to maim the rabbit in front of him but Allen hugged him from behind stopping him from doing so.
"Yuu, I'll ask Komui about this guy," Lavi told Kanda.
"We'll go too," Kanda said to Lavi, though he's still irritated at what Lavi just said.
Lavi stood up and held the boy's hand. He dragged the shounen. The bean sprout and the samurai followed them as well.
"Moyashi," Kanda called Allen in a whisper.
"It's Allen, baKanda, and why?" Allen asked irritated.
"I'll punish you later, bean sprout," Kanda said seriously.
Allen gulped nervously and stopped walking. He was stunned because of what Kanda just said.
Seeing the bean sprout's reaction, Kanda smirked and dragged the Moyashi.

Kanda sat beside Allen and Allen sat beside Lavi. Lavi sat beside Nathan and Nathan sat on the sofa, feeling uncomfortable at the situation. (Did you get it?)
"He is the new exorcist I told you yesterday. I told you he will arrive today," Komui told Lavi.
"R-Really?" Lavi asked.
"Yes. For the next Bookman, you're pretty oblivious," Komui sighed.
'That's because I was thinking of a solution to Yuu's problem, I wasn't paying attention at what you were saying yesterday,' Lavi thought.
Komui looked at Kanda. "And Kanda, why did you hurt him?" he asked raising a brow.
Kanda looked at Komui then looked away immediately before answering. "I thought he was an akuma," he answered.
Hearing the answer of the samurai, Komui sighed for one last time. "Gomen, Nathan-kun," he apologized looking at the boy.
"It's okay, Komui-san," Nathan replied, bowing his head, blushing lightly.
"So, who is he?" Allen asked Komui.
Komui cleared his throat first before answering. "He is Nathan Spade, 14-years old. He had been in hell so I'd appreciate if you'll be kind to him. Aside from you, Allen, Nathan is a pupil of General Cross," he informed them seriously.
"S-Shisho?" Allen asked wide-eyed.
"Yes," Komui answered.
Allen jumped to Nathan and gripped his shoulders tightly. He looked at Nathan worriedly. "It must have been tough on you, kid! I, myself, experienced so many hardships because of him," Allen started his drama.
Nathan looked at Allen, confused.
"You've been in something worse than hell. What did he do to you? How many debts do you have now? How do you make money?" Allen asked continuously. "I play cards to make money, I'm good at it," he informed Nathan, giving him his evil smile.
"Uhn," Nathan tried to free himself from Allen's gripped. Allen became a demon suddenly and he's scared.
"Want to play with me?" Allen asked with his evil smile, moving his face closer to Nathan's.
"Eh…" Nathan was sinking himself to the sofa. Allen is just too evil for him.
"Moyashi-chan, you're scaring him," Lavi said to Allen.
"Allen," Komui called him.
But Allen ignored the two. He looked at Nathan evilly. "Play with me, Natha—mmmph" Allen tried to speak but a palm covered his mouth preventing him from saying a word.
"Baka Moyashi, no one is asking you," Kanda said dragging Allen away from Nathan with his right hand on Allen's mouth and his left wrapped around Allen's waist.
Nathan sighed in relief when Allen was dragged away from him.
Allen turned around and looked at Kanda, "But," he looked at Kanda's eyes and blushed unexpectedly.
"If he's an exorcist, why was he so scared of me?" Lavi asked Komui (he can't hold back his curiosity; he's a bookman, after all). "He was running away from me every time I call him," he pouted.
"That," Komui thought of a reason, but failed to think of anything. "I don't know," Komui answered.
Nathan looked up at Lavi with his big eyes. "That's because, Lavi-san," he tugged Lavi's sleeve making the rabbit look at him directly. "I thought Master owes you a huge amount of money, that's why you were chasing me," he explained with a light shade of pink on his cheeks. "I thought you wanted me to pay Master's debts," he said looking away with a sad face.
Lavi widened his eyes but not fully, and then smiled at the boy. "Do I look like someone who bullies cute kids?" Lavi said flirtingly, cupping the boy's cheek.
"H-Huh?" Nathan looked at Lavi and blushed darkly at the said words. "I-I'm not a kid, and I'm not cute," he pouted, not looking away from Lavi.
Cute. Makes me wanna kiss him. Lavi thought.
"Good afternoon, Walker," Leverier greeted drawing all the attention to him. "Have you told Kanda what I want you to tell him?" he asked directly.
Allen turned to look at Leverier, surprised. "Not yet, I forgot," he answered smiling.
"I'd appreciate it if you will tell him sooner, 14th," the inspector said walking away.
Silence filled the room 'til Nathan broke it, unaware of what was going on.
Nathan looked at Allen before saying a word. "Onii-san, you're Allen Walker?" Nathan asked out of the blue.
Allen looked at the boy and answered, "Yes, why?" he asked smiling.
Nathan hugged Allen suddenly.
Allen was surprised at the action and looked down at the boy. "O-Oi," Allen called.
"G-Gomen, Onii-san, but Master told me to hug you as soon as I see you or else, he'll give me more debts," Nathan explained.
"S-Shisho did?" Allen asked puzzled.
"Yes, he told me to hug his idiot pupil. He told me that his idiot pupil's name is Allen Walker," Nathan answered innocently, still hugging Allen.
"Eh?" Allen reacted at the said words. He was ready to say another word but he felt Kanda's dark aura spreading, stopping him from uttering a word.
"Mo-ya-shi," Kanda called angrily.
Allen turned his head still hugging the boy and looked at Kanda nervously. "Gomen, Kanda, it's just-," Allen wasn't able to finish his words as Kanda walked out of the room and slammed the door strongly behind him.
"Yuu is jealous," Lavi commented maliciously.
Allen closed his eyes tightly when he heard the loud 'bam' of the door. He sighed but smiled in his mind knowing that Kanda is jealous—which proves Kanda's love for him. "Nathan-kun," Allen looked down on the boy as he cupped Nathan's cheeks with both his hands, making the boy look up at him. "I have to go, we'll talk later, or maybe tomorrow, I guess, I'll talk to you soon," he said with a smile.
The boy pulled away and smiled back at Allen. "O-Ok," he answered.
Allen ran out of the room quickly and followed Kanda.
"Kanda!" Allen shouted once he saw Kanda.
Kanda didn't stop nor looked at the boy. He continued walking angrily, spreading his dark aura widely. Baka Moyashi, he already knew I got jealous, yet he still did it. Damn.
Allen ran faster and reached Kanda. He grabbed the man's wrist stopping Kanda from walking. "Kanda…" he called the Japanese man making Kanda look at him.
"What is it, Moyashi?" Kanda asked looking at Allen fiercely.
"Nathan hugged me bec-," he tried to explain but Kanda walked away fast. "Oi, Kanda, listen to me," Allen said, not letting go of Kanda's wrist.
Kanda ignored Allen and opened a door. He walked inside and Allen followed as well.
Allen looked at Kanda nervously before deciding to speak. "Listen to me, Kanda," Allen said pleadingly.
Kanda freed his wrist from Allen's grip and sat on his bed. "I'm listening," Kanda said, closing his eyes, still irritated.
Allen sighed before opening his mouth to explain. "He hugged me because Shisho told him to. He's just scared to have more debts," Allen explained.
"That wasn't necessary. He hugged you already," Kanda said, not accepting the bean sprout's explanation.
"He hugged me. I tried to push him away the second time he did it but my hands wouldn't move," Allen explained again.
"Being unable to move isn't a good reason, Moyashi," Kanda said opening his eyes. "I won't forgive you," he said intensely.
Allen twitched at the said words. "B-But Kanda, I really couldn't…" Allen didn't know what to say anymore knowing that anything he'll utter won't be accepted by the Samurai.
"Couldn't what?" Kanda asked waiting for another word Allen will say.
Allen ran to Kanda and hugged him tightly. He straddled the Japanese man's lap and rested his head on Kanda's shoulder.
Kanda was surprised at the action but he kept his cool, "I'm still mad at you, Moyashi," he informed Allen.
Allen hugged Kanda tighter not knowing what to do. "I know, that's why I'm sorry, I'm really sorry," he apologized sincerely.
Kanda let out a sigh. "I'll forgive you once you receive you punishment."
