Chapter 3: Making new friends
In another part of the Order, Allen was looking for them in the whole place, where could they go? He questioned himself. It's not like this place is that big! At that moment he took a turn and almost hit Kanda since he didn't see him. "Watch out Moyashi! You almost hit me! What are you blind now too?" Kanda said pushing a little Allen but Allen couldn't feel anger for Kanda right now, he needed to find Lavi and Jonathan. "I am sorry Kanda but I am in a hurry, I don't have time for your self-assertion right now!" Allen said with a cocky look on his face. "Stupid Moyashi, you will always be the one that angers me more than anything, the new guy will never take your place" Kanda said looking away remembering the new exorcist and the attention that everyone gave him. Allen saw that he wasn't the only one that was bothered with Jonathan but obviously Kanda wasn't bothered for the same reasons with him. "It seems you don't like Jonathan do you?" Allen said and smirked "You found someone better than you and you cannot stand it?" he continued and smirked even wider when he noticed that anger started to built up in Kanda's face at his words. "I am the best exorcist and I will always be. That guy Jonathan cannot superb me, but I see that you are confused since he is absolutely better than you" Kanda said now smirking too and feeling proud for his comeback.
"Pfft whatever Kanda, I am sure that you two are alike, self-cantered bastards" Allen said and moved his hand around showing that Kanda's words didn't affect him. "So you don't like him either?" Kanda said raising an eyebrow and Allen looked away. Oh great now Kanda knows that I don't like him. Kanda smirked at Allen's reactions which confirmed his thought "You Allen, the sweet polite boy, doesn't like someone? Well except me". Allen just rolled his eyes but Kanda continued his trail of thoughts "Why don't you though? You don't even know him". It was then that Kanda noticed that something was missing, or better someone was missing, Lavi was not there to stop their argument. "Where is that stupid rabbit by the way? He should have been here and try to break us apart". Allen couldn't take it anymore he wanted to attack Kanda and make him shut up already. But just when he was ready to attack Kanda he spotted Lenalee passing them. She was moving so fast that he almost didn't see her out of the corner of his eye. If she is here then where are Jonathan and Lavi? He thought and panicked at the thought that Lavi was alone with Jonathan.
"Lenalee, where are you going?" Allen shout and Lenalee stopped and turned around to face her caller. "I am going to Komui to get the key for Jonathan's bedroom. We forgot to take it with us on the tour" Lenalee said as fast she could and turned around to leave but she was stopped again by Allen "Well then where are Jonathan and Lavi right now?" "I left them in the cafeteria, now excuse me but I have to hurry" she said and before Allen could ask anything else she stormed off. Allen was frozen in his tracks with wide eyes thinking. So they are alone! I must go! His current state though didn't go unnoticed by Kanda who was a bit confused by Allen's behaviour. "Yo Moyashi what is wrong with you?" Kanda said and Allen snapped out of his thoughts and answered "Nothing I will go find Jonathan and Lavi" but before he could leave Kanda mocked him again "Yeah yeah go find your boyfriend before Jonathan seduce him". Allen stopped at Kanda's words and glared at him. Kanda thought he would try to tear him apart with such a look which he never gave him before during their arguments. Then it hit him "But of course, that IS your problem!" Kanda said and grinned evilly at Allen who was still glaring at him "Jealous bean sprout?" "He is not my boyfriend you stupid lanky fool! And of course I am not jealous! Lavi can hang around with anyone he wants" Allen screamed at Kanda blushing a little and left immediately. Kanda frowned stupid moyashi, stupid rabbit, stupid Jonathan! What's his problem? What's their problem? I am the best exorcist, end of story! Kanda thought and continued his path.
Stupid Kanda! Who he thinks he is? He is good though, he almost figured out my...my feeling for Lavi... He called him my boyfriend... Are my feelings so obvious? Oh who cares! Now I must find them!
Meanwhile Jonathan and Lavi were heading towards the rooms to find Jonathan's new bedroom.
"So you are the bookman apprentice?" Jonathan asked casually. "Yep that's me! I will be Bookman when Panda retires. Until then we are here and help out the Order" Lavi said smiling. "Um Panta?" Jonathan asked even though he thought that Lavi meant the Bookman. "Oh yeah sorry, I call Bookman like that, it's funny, he hates it" Lavi answered.
Lavi was enjoying the conversation and Jonathan's company. "So I see that you are quite the womanizer!" Lavi said smiling to Jonathan who raised his head up a little as a sign of proudness "Yeah I like them and they like me". "Oh don't be so moderate! They are melting for you! You even drove insane Lenalee!" Lavi said and giggled. "Yeah ok they are really fond of me! God I thought that that girl would remove my arm!" Jonathan said and remembered his painful experience. Lavi giggled even more "I was trying so hard not to laugh! I feel sorry for you! It's the first time I see her like that!" Jonathan laughed too. He is not that bad, for a Bookman.
"So where are you from?" Lavi asked continuing their conversation. "I am mixed race. I have travelled a lot in my younger years. I have been looking for someone" Jonathan said and a pained looked was fixed on his face that Lavi noticed. "Who were you looking for, if I might ask" Lavi said concerned about the sudden change of Jonathan's mood. Then Jonathan as if reading his mind simply smiled again and removed any trace of pain from his face "Oh no one important!"
"You became an exorcist during your trips?" Lavi continued. "Yes I learnt martial arts throughout my travels and exercised a lot to make this body" Jonathan said still smiling and showing off proudly his well muscled body. Lavi giggled again "Yes I guess that's why girls like you so much". "Yeah I guess, but it's not only that girls are attracted to me" Jonathan said and glanced a look over to Lavi which Lavi couldn't decipher. "Um what do you mean?" Lavi asked confused. "I mean that both men and women like me. Of course, those that are attracted to our gender. I mean I had lovers from both genders before and I am not ashamed of it. I am bi" Jonathan said and waited for Lavi's reaction. Lavi was surprised and his eyes widened a little, he didn't expect Jonathan to be bi, but he didn't mind that he was actually. "Who said that you should be ashamed of it! Good for you! I don't mind!" Lavi said with a wide grin on his face not wanting to make Jonathan think that he was bothered by his sexuality or something. Jonathan smiled and nodded "So what are you?" he continued. "Me? Well I am straight of course! I love the ladies" Lavi said blushing a little and feeling a bit awkward. "So you have never felt attracted to a man?" Jonathan said raising an eyebrow. "No! No of course not. Not that it would be a problem or something, but I am straight" Lavi said stumbling a little to his words and blushing even harder. Why on earth am I blushing? I have never felt attract to a man! Except when I am with Allen... What no! I am straight!
"And what about your weapon?" Lavi said wanting to change the subject. "It was in the family. I inherit it" Jonathan said feeling a bit suspicious in the change of subject. Lavi was really impressed by Jonathan, the young man travelled around the globe, learnt how to fight and became an exorcist, and an excellent one from what he heard from Komui.
By then they had arrived outside of Jonathan's bedroom. "Where is Lenalee, I could swear that she would have been here before we had even arrived" Lavi said and chuckled when he remembered the girl running like a mad man. Then they heard footsteps and turned around expecting to see Lenalee but it was Allen. Allen smiled widely at his discovery and then his smiled fainted when he noticed how close Jonathan and Lavi were standing. "Well I have finally found you!" Allen said and faked a smile.
