Autumn

The winds of autumn had arrived accompanied by warm shades of leaves flowing throw it. The aromas of pumpkin and candle-lit flames flowed through the halls of the Order as Lenalee inhaled them. She sighed as she walked out the door for fresh air, wondering how time has passed. It felt as though summer had just arrived, and here she was, the winds of autumn welcoming her.

The chill breeze had been enough to make her shiver. She griped her sweater, and headed towards a tree that had been filled with ripe apples.

Kanda walked down the road filled with leaves crunching as he walked upon them in his boots. Specks of leaves had managed to get tangled in his hair thanks to the winds that carried them. He silently watched the scene in front of him, warm shades of red, orange, and yellow. Not a hint of green minus the few spots of grass that had yet to get covered by the falling leaves.

The weather itself had changed; it was getting a lot cooler. He himself preferred the weather change, never being one to be fond of warm weather. His golem on the other hand hadn't enjoyed it very much, as he found his way into Kanda's coat.

Sighing, he continued his journey to the Order, while watching the leaves of the once clothed trees fall one-by-one, managing to make the trees look naked without their clothes that had kept them from trembling in the autumn winds. And a shiver rushed by him as he witnessed the leaves falling down one-by-one.

Lenalee giggled as the felt the chilly winds with the multicolored leaves flowing along with them brushed across her long locks of hair, tangling in it. She took a seat under the tree; it was yet another refuge for her when she wanted to think, to be alone, and to relax. It wasn't like she had been running away from anything, it was the exact opposite. The reason for her being under the gigantic trees was for the view. From her window the view had been amazing, and now being face to face with the tree, it was remarkable.

"You're losing your leaves slower than all the other trees…" she picked at the prettiest leave that she could find. It was a beautiful shade of red mixed with yellow and orange but mostly red. The ruby red apples that had been reflecting her image had been tempting to pick. She restrained herself, knowing that if she picked one, it would ruin the beauty of the tree and its treasures.

"What are you doing?" She turned as soon as she heard the unmistakable voice that had belonged to none other than Kanda.

She was in surprise to see him ahead of the schedule he had received. "You're here so early!" she quickly stood from her seated posture, smiling.

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Why would it be?"

"Well, you said it as if…never mind." He attempted to dismiss a conversation he honestly didn't want to get into. He found himself staring at the apples on the tree.

"They're beautiful, aren't they?" Lenalee quickly averted her eyes from the apples, and looked at the sky. She hadn't meant to say that out loud. It wasn't like Kanda wanted to start a conversation.

He nodded in return, and picked one. He turned the bright red substance that he had in his hand 360◦, looking at it and back and Lenalee, "Here". She turned to face him once again, only now confused. His hand had extended towards her, offering the ruby red apple.

"Um…thank you. But why are you giving me one?" she held the treasure in her palms, and although she was confused, smiling.

As soon as he saw her smile, he felt his face burn. Quickly turning away from her with arms crossed, he snapped back at her, "It wasn't like you could reach for it anyway, stupid girl." He walked away after saying so, leaving Lenalee alone with the tree.

She watched him walk away from the autumn light, and walk into the Order. She smiled once more as she realized that the apple she had been given was the most beautiful of all, and it was handpicked by Kanda Yuu himself.

A/N- Autumn's really pretty. Not my favorite season, but that's besides the point. ha ha
