Chapter 20

Wahhh…

It was pouring rain, the clouds were gray and angry looking and the wind was blowing violently in every direction as Lavi, Allen, and Bookman were driving to the airport.

Okay, not really but it should have been. It was sunny and unseasonably warm, a day that makes you want to go the park with your boyfriend. The leaves were changing colors from an emerald green, like Lavi's eye, to ruby red, like Lavi's hair, vivid orange, like Lavi's scarf, and exceptionally yellow, like Lavi's pencils he uses in math.

Allen slumped back in his seat with a sigh. Why does everything have to remind him of Lavi as he's going to see Lavi off for four months? Allen looked out the window and to the sun.

"Damn you, you bastard," Allen though to the sun, "How dare you shine on a day like today?"

Allen just glared at the star in the sky, wishing it would just explode.

Lavi wrapped his arm around the small boy's shoulders.

"Hey," Lavi said softly, hoping Allen would look at him.

Allen reluctantly looked away from the sun, thinking profanities at the sun, to lock eyes with that emerald eye that made his stomach do somersaults.

Lavi smiled and leaned his forehead against Allen's.

"I love you, Allen," Lavi whispered softly.

Allen closed his eyes, fighting back tears.

"Don't you love me?" Lavi asked jokingly, his Cheshire Cat smile pulling at his lips. He knew the answer to that question but desperately wanted to hear the answer from those soft pink lips.

"I-I love you too," Allen replied, his lips trembling. He had to be strong in front of Lavi. He didn't want Lavi to feel guilty. He had this trip planned way before he met Allen.

"Allen," Lavi purred, "Don't cry or you'll make me cry." Lavi nuzzled Allen's neck softly before kissing his cheek softly.

Allen just looked down, praying to every god he knew of, hoping Lavi wouldn't see the single tear that ran down his round cheek.

"Fox-trot, (My friend told me that in the military, you're not really allowed to cuss so they'll say Whisky Tango Fox-trot for WTF. It made me giggle so I though I would share with meh babes !)" Allen though as Lavi brushed the tear away, a single tear rolling down from his single eye.

Allen hated himself for making Lavi cry just because he was weak. He closed his eyes and though of last night.

~~~~~~ Last Night…~~~~~~

Allen and Lavi laid curled up against one another, Allen's head on Lavi's chest with Lavi's arms wrapped tightly around Allen's body. Both had their eyes closed and breathed softly, savoring this last night together.

Allen looked up at Lavi. Lavi's features were blurred by the moonlight but Allen could still his handsome face as if it was broad daylight.

"Lavi?" Allen whispered.

"Hmmm?" Lavi hummed, one eye brow raising and a smile coming to his lips.

"I want you," Allen said, bluntly.

This caused Lavi to sit up and look down at the small figure.

"No, Allen," Lavi said, serious.

"But, Lavi, I want to show you I love you before you leave," Allen said as he straddled Lavi's lap and wrapping his pale arms around Lavi's well tanned neck.

"Allen," Lavi began but was cut off by Allen's mouth crashing against his.

Lavi kissed Allen for a little before Allen pressed his weight against Lavi in an attempt to make him lay down.

"Allen!" Lavi said, unwrapping Allen's arms from around his neck, "No."

Allen just froze.

"Allen, I love you, you know that," Lavi begun, running his hand tiredly through his unruly hair, "I love you very, very much and I want you too but not like this. Not the night before I leave you for four months. You're not a hit-it-and-quit-it to me. You are so much more," Lavi paused to look Allen in the eyes, "This is super cheesy but it fits, I want our first time together to be special, and special isn't before I leave for a long period of time. Understand?"

Allen nodded, realizing the depth of Lavi's devoting to him.

Lavi rested his head against Allen's forehead.

"I love you, Lavi," Allen said.

Lavi smiled and wrapped his arms around Allen, "I love you too, Bean Sprout. Now, let's go to bed."

Allen let the nickname go, just this once, and laid down with Lavi.

Whoa, Allen wanting to bump uglies and Lavi putting a stop to it ? Naughty, naughty. (*giggled and blushed the entire time writing that part*)
