You people do make me laugh! I love how you all think different things but I will say ONE of you were very close indeed. I am very impressed with your observation skills \(^.^)/

So here's the newest chapter, I hope you enjoy it and please make sure to leave a review!

"Do you wanna raisin?"

"Why would I wanna raisin-"

"-Then how about a date?"

There was a snort and the table shock as if someone was hitting it.

"Do you know cpr?"

"Please, just stop it"

"'Cause you took my breath away"

The table was hit again and the vibrations hit against Allen's head. He pulled his crossed arms over his head a bit tighter.

"Did it hurt?"

"Not as much as you're gonna when I get my hands on you..."

"I mean, when you feel out of heaven?"

Allen rolled his eyes, not that anyone was going to see it; he still felt it was necessary.

"Is there an airport nearby-"

"Not that I know off-"

"Or is that my heart just taking off?"

Allen could feel it, one more chat-up and a certain someone was going to snap. Not that he could blame him.

"Are you Jewish? "

"Obviously we're not L-"

"-'cause you're Israeli hot. "

Lavi's laugh hovered above their table in the canteen and when Allen finally raised his head from his hands he saw what he thought he would- Lenalee was slowly shaking her head at their friend's antics; Kanda was pinching the bridge of his nose in a futile attempt to contain his irritation and Lavi, well, he had his head thrown back-mid laugh- and his left hand was smacking the table's surface. Allen visibly rolled his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey! You can't do that!" Allen's eyes focused on Lavi's finger which was a couple centimetres from his nose "You can only roll your eyes if you've been sat at the table for more than a month!" Lenalee's hand met the back of Lavi's head.

"Shut up you, he can do whatever he wants, besides it's been six weeks actually." She smiled at Allen and he felt his face warm at the unfamiliar action. She turned fully to face him from her seat across the table "So Al, how come we've never seen you in the canteen at this time before? I mean, we all have a study, so how come we've never seen you?"

Allen felt two pairs of eyes look at him, but he knew all three of them where listening. He noticed that Kanda's biro had stilled so he felt it was safe to assume he was also listening; His hand subconsciously rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well… usually, I'm in the library-"He was interupted by a soft scoff from next to him alongside a mumbled 'nerd'; Allen grit his teeth as he smiled "-or I'm walking around the Art department" he finished with an awkward side kick at Kanda's shins.

"Why didn't you sit in the canteen?" Allen watched as her eyebrows furrowed and he subtly looked over his shoulder.

"That's why" Allen discretely pointed at the table on the other side of the canteen. He smacked his palm on his forehead as the three of them staired in the direction of the group pointedly. How did they not notice Allen's subtlety?

"Tch stupid Mikk"

"Oh Allen…"

"We could take 'em!"

"No, no you couldn't Lavi. And please, please don't try too."

Allen watched as they all re-faced him, each having a different look on their face- angered, upset and reassuring. He decided to quickly change the subject, but first he wanted to find out the answer to something that had been bothering him since they had 'saved' him

"That English lesson-"He started, watching as the three faces gave him their full attention "Why did you do what you did?"

"That was rather vague." Kanda felt Lenalee's hand meet to back of his head, much like Lavi had moments before, and he swore under his breath

"-And that was rather rude, Yuu" Lavi's head shot forward as Kanda's hand met the same spot Lenalee's had, but with much more force. Lavi rubbed at the spot sheepishly

"Boys stop fighting!" Said 'boys' looked at her, each with a look of disbelief

"How can you say that when you just-"

"We felt you needed saving-"Lenalee said interrupting Lavi, they quickly realised she was answering the previous question. "You were all flustered-"

"I was not flustered- I was trying to think of a witty comment!"

"Flustered" Kanda said in agreement

"Definitely flustered" Lavi chipped in

"Whatever" Allen said sinking in his chair a bit

"So we saved you!" She smiled and visibly kicked Kanda, giving him a pointed look; it was obvious she wanted him to join the conversation

"-And if she helped you, she obviously needed my help, so I stood up too- Alright?" He looked at her; she smiled; he clicked his tongue and scribbled on his notebook some more

"And I helped because I'm an enforcer of justice, protecting the weak from the evil assholes of this college!"

"Or you didn't want to look like a coward so you stood up too" Kanda added without looking up from his notebook.

"Oh yeah, and you really only helped him because Lenalee kicked you, didn't you" Lavi said with a dose of sarcasm Allen didn't even know he had. Whatever he said seemed to imply caused Kanda to cringe

"Lavi…"Lenalee's voice was laced with an interest Allen felt himself also feel. He didn't know what was happening but Lavi seemed to have mentioned some taboo that Kanda would have rather forgotten.

"What'd you say Red. Go on, one more time." Allen gulped. Half of him wanted Lavi to sit down and shut up, the other wanted to know what was going on, and in order for that to happen, he need Lavi to repeat himself. Lavi smirked and Allen decided it looked better on Kanda, Lavi was more of a smile person; not smirk.

"What, they can't know?" He and Kanda seemed to look at the others, back at each other, and then they just stared. Allen looked at Lenalee but she just shrugged and pulled her phone out. Allen looked back and forth between the two of them and jumped when his phone vibrated in his pocked. He leant to the left to grab his phone from his back pocket; brushing agains't Kanda, he felt the heat seep through his shirt. Kanda was ridiculously warm. He looked at his phone

[They've known each other the longest… I met them at secondary school, maybe it's a psychic old friend thing? ^^; xx]

He looked back up at Lenalee and she shrugged in response to his raised eyebrow, they both jumped as Kanda let out a sigh

"Alright, alright. Jeez. I was picked on when I was younger alright." He crossed his arms over his chest defensively and leant back in his chair; not making eye contact with any of them. Allen and Lenalee exchanged looks and turned to face Lavi who nodded at them both, his face a void of emotion.

"Seriously? You… Bad ass Kanda Yuu, take no shit from no-one, bullied?" Allen almost laughed if the situation didn't call for it. He never thought he'd hear Lenalee speak like that "Why?"

Kanda visibly bit the inside of his cheeks and closed his eyes, trying to block them out. Unfortunately for him, Lavi was there to answer the question.

"He looked like a girl-"

"No I didn't!"

"And one of the bully' fancied him-" He added, smiling as he slammed his palm down on the table's surface in amusement again

"NO. He didn't."

"And when he found out he was a guy, they tore the shit outta him!"

"Argh! You're wrong. He-he…" Kanda seemed to run into a mental block so he opted to sit there and ignore they all existed. Allen didn't know what he was meant to do, laugh or… well he just wanted to laugh really. And with a look at Lenalee, he guessed she did too.

"So I'm guessing, he say some of his cute girlishness from his younger self in you, my tiny friend, and decided to save you. Isn't he actually a nice guy under all those layers and layers of Kanda-ness

"Tch. Whatever."

"Aww Kanda! Why didn't you say so earlier?" Lenalee cooed, and watching Kanda cringe, that was the exact reason why he didn't say so earlier. Allen felt laughter bubble in his chest and he smiled as it left his mouth. Kanda and Lavi had gotten into another fake 'argument' which was quickly becoming playfully 'violent' and Lenalee was trying to stop them with even more violence. Bless 'em
