Hey hey! I know it's been a while since I updated this story, but, I love you guys! All of the feedback I'm getting is absolutely amazing!


The rose petal soft skin of the white blonde haired girl's face nuzzled against her lover's arm, trying to make an attempt to cheer the male up, if for only just a fraction.

Lavi read over what he wrote and rubbed his eyes, sleep making them sting just slightly. His body was antsy and all he really wanted to do was curl up in his bed. The author couldn't do it though; he did have a deadline after all. He had put off writing for several days after Allen had waltzed into his life, but he couldn't do that anymore. The red head had to focus. Komui was going to murder him with one of those weird toys he was always designing.

Allen looked over at the frustrated male, his furry ears twitching slightly. "What awe ou whiting, Lafi?"

The crimson haired male looked over his shoulder, "A love story, Kuma."

Allen arched his eyebrow and played with the material of his new jeans. He then laid his head on his knees. "What kind of lofe stowie, fough?"

Lavi scrunched his nose in thought and swung his legs from under the table, making his wheeled chair move slightly. "You know, honestly, I have no idea."

Allen's eyes widened slightly in disbelief. "H-how can ou white somefing wifout knowing what it is about?"

Lavi chuckled softly. "Because, well, I don't pay attention. The story just writes it's self and I'm just the connection of thought to words on paper."

Allen's left ear flicked slightly. "Phat's not paper."

Lavi rolled his eyes. "Laptops are this day and age's paper."

Allen made an awkward huffing noise but let the conversation die. He drew his clothed arms up close to his chest and traced his fingertips over the material of the zip up hoodie he was wearing. It was a solid black with white cuffs and pockets. It was only one of the many things that the red rabbit had purchased for him.

Allen looked over to the hard at work author and a delicate sigh left his lips. Lavi was such a fantastic person. Allen just didn't know how to make everything up to him. From the clothes to the food and even just letting the white haired cub into his home, Lavi hadn't requested anything at all from Allen. It perplexed the bear cub.

A pressure was on the middle of Allen's forehead and the bear jerked away and let his eyes focus. Lavi was standing in front of him with his index finger extended. The red head laughed airily at the bear's sour expression.

"you're thinking too hard, little one. I could see the smoke coming from your ears." Lavi chuckled, now petting at the furry stubs on top of the boy's head.

"Lafi," Allen shifted, now biting at his bottom lip.

A somber expression washed over Lavi's face. "What's bothering you, Allen?"

Allen shifted in his seat, looking around the room. His eyes fell on a black book with aged yellow pages. The words "The Tales of the Brothers Grimm" were embroidered onto the front of the book and down the spine. Lavi had been reading to Allen for a few days, upon the bear cub's request.

Allen wiggled himself free from the love seat and grasped at the leather bound book. He handed it to the author. "Why awe phere no...hybwid faiwytales?"

A lump formed into Lavi's throat as he thumbed at the pages gently. He sat on the couch beside of the baby bear and tried his best to find the right words. "These stories... They were written hundreds of years ago."

Lavi didn't know just how much Allen knew about his own kind. He didn't want to upset the fragile little cub. Hybrids, humans with animal DNA spikes were a relatively new discovery. Nekos and Kuma or Inu were only really becoming something you would see in every day life. Sure, Lavi didn't have a problem with people with animal ears but he knew that a lot of people really did have a big stigma against it.

"Well," Lavi pondered his mind into it's very depths. "Maybe that is because no one has sat down and written any? The stories in this book are over a hundred years old."

Allen looked down at his hands again, his eyes overcast. The bear let his ears drop into his hair and he let a soft sigh shake his frame. "Why...why don't people like hybwids like me?"

The 22 year old sat down and let his own sigh escape his lips. He bit at his bottom lip before petting at Allen's back. "They... They don't understand. They don't really know what to think. People are ignorant and scared."

Allen leaned his head on Lavi's shoulder. He had become increasingly affectionate to the older male now that he was less frightened of everything. The red rabbit gently pet at Allen's ears.

"I wish phere was a hybwid faiwy tale. Maybe people would be wess...scawed." Allen shifted, sitting back up.

A spark lit under the emerald eyed male. He went over to his laptop and completely erased everything he had written. "You know, Allen? That's a great idea. I'll write you the best fairy tale you can imagine."

The cub's eyes widened and his ears perked. The pearl eyed boy wanted to hug the red head so tightly that he would be blue in the face. The boy smiled and nodded happily. "I would weally like phat!"

The red rabbit smiled again, glad that he could make the boy with nothing so happy. He sat back down at his desk, the blank page staring at him. He ran his fingers over the cool keys of the laptop and noticed how the little cub was sitting on the love seat with a soft smile plastered into his features.

Lavi looked at the laptop in front of him and started typing. It was going to take a few exhaustingly long nights with little sleep to make the lead way on the story that he had on the other.

Once upon a time...
