CHAPTER FOURTEEN: The Other Side of the Coin

Kanda admits that he normally wouldn't be doing this. The truth was, he'd usually wouldn't want to do something like this,especiallywith a bloke whom he justlovesto refer to as "beansprout" (but most of the time just plain "bean"). Kissing was an invasion of his precious personal space.Kissingwas opening the doors to the world of Kanda Yuu. It was an affectionate gesture that Kanda had long disregarded as something he could live without. And he'd been living without it and anything related to it for so long, until of course, that faithful night when alcohol got the best of him (and Allen). But if alcohol was his excuse then, what was his excuse now?

Allen grunts as he falls onto the couch, Kanda crawling on top of him, their mouths never parting for more than a second. The Japanese let's one of his hands tangle into the white mess we know as Allen's hair, and uses his other hand to ride up the shorter boy's thigh. He squeezes the area closest to the Englishman's behind. The snow-haired one moans shamelessly, wrapping his arms around Kanda, fisting his hands into the fabric on the taller man's back. Kanda removes his hand from Allen's thigh, and sneaks it into his shirt.

Kanda thinks that this is not something that either of them should take too seriously. Maybe he should sit down and talk with the bean... He had to tell him that there should only be two reasons why they're doing this, and the reasons should be as follows: (1) Because Allen wanted to remember what happened that night by recreating the situation, and (2) Because they were horny. In other words, Kanda Yuu was just following a law he'd set for himself, he says "When I'm hungry, I eat, when I'm thirsty, I drink, when I'm horny, I have sex". By following this rule, he of course, eventually becomes, so incredibly saturated. That was what he was doing right now, saturating himself. And though he would never admit it out loud, the bean was an excellent partner for it. He however does not want to dwell on why that is.

"We should stop…" Allen says when they finally part long enough for him to say it. Kanda ignores it at first, and tries to return to their previous activities, but the Englishman lightly pushes him away.

"…There's a party waiting for me upstairs…" the snow-haired one says calmly "…Lenalee would kill me if I miss it"

The Japanese remains silent for a moment. After he heaves a sigh he says "She wouldn't do that…", he busies his hands with removing Allen's shirt "…She supports this"

"Supports?" the Englishman exclaims, whilst raising an eyebrow "This?"

"It's probably what she assumed we were doing…" Kanda ghosts his hands over Allen's bare chest "You didn't honestly think that she knew about the thugs did you? This is what she thought we were doing"

"So this is what she thought we were doing before we got here?" the snow-haired boy's eyes widen, but then immediately snap shut when Kanda kisses the nape of his neck "We should—" he gasps, whimpers a little from the Japanese's caresses "We should really stop"

"But someone down here is all riled up" Kanda says this with annoyance in his tone; he looked the English man in the eyes as he glared, whilst touching the said "someone"to prove his point. Allen hisses. "If we go up there now…" the cobalt blue eyes stare at the snow-haired one furiously "…everyone will know about this, and possibly about the other night…" his already narrowed eyes narrow further "…do I have to remind you that we have a fucking witness?"

"Lavi didn't really know what he—" a gasp "—wit… nessed…" Allen sighs heavily, already feeling a strong temptation not to attend the party at all. Everything that Kanda was doing just made it so hard to resist.

"He might have not right away, but he did after a while…" Kanda furrows his eyebrows "Tsch…That was such a horrible sight to wake up to"

Allen scowls, hating that he was described as both just a thing and a horribleone at that. "I still wonder why on earth we would do that, alcohol doesn't normally have that kind of effect on me" by that he wishedto imply that he hated that he was sleeping with Kanda of all people (even if he actually didn'thate it). BUT, a different message made its way to the taller man (and it was, evidently, the literal one)

"We did it so we could satisfy our—"Kanda grimaces for a moment "—urges" there was disgust in his voice and expression. Allen frowns.

"If you hate doing this so much, then why are you doing it?"

The Japanese's eyes widen slightly and he leans down to kiss the Englishman's lips briefly. Smirking against the shorter boys lips he says "Because you told me to". He sits up (quite strategically even, causing Allen to make a decidedly embarrassing sound), "Here's one of my mottos in life bean…" he pauses, checks if the one beneath him is in the condition to listen, and upon seeing the Englishman's eyes open slightly to look at him he says "When I'm hungry, I eat, when I'm thirsty, I drink, when I'm horny, I have sex"

"That's… quite a selfish motto…" Allen comments, trying to retain some of the dignity in his voice despite his state

"Tsch… As if your request was any different" Kanda retorts.

Allen does not reply, and they do not go up to join everyone else in the party.

…………………….

"Does changing really take that long?" Lavi asks Lenalee, and the Chinese girl is utterly confused by the sudden question, until the doorman adds "Because I think Yuu and Allen are officiallyyet another hour late"

Lenalee mentally slaps herself for only realizing this now."How could they not attend my party!" she exclaims, loud enough for only Lavi and her to hear. Her tone is more curious than it is angry.

"Maybe this is a good thing…" the doorman reasons "…maybe they're doing that"

Lenalee blinks once, alcohol was slowing down her reasoning big time, "What exactly are you—" she stops, and her expression brightens "OH" she exclaims "GOODNESS… They're doing THAT" she takes a swig of another cocktail "WONDERFUL!" she motions for a refill

Lavi fills her glass and fill his own up as well "You think anyone's noticed the "birthday boy" ain't here?"

"Even if they did they would have forgotten by now" the Chinese girl grins, and motions for a toast

The doorman has the toast with her, and they finish their drinks in one gulp "Blame it on the alcohol" he says

…………………..

Allen reaches for his little alarm clock whilst keeping the lower parts of himself under the covers (as to, of course, not reveal his naked self). At first, the time he sees does not register into his head and he blinks slowly (tiredly) as he stares at the contraption, trying to absorb what the time it displayed could mean for him. As his mind slowly process the clock given information, whatever hangover he had from a few hours "well spent" disappears, and his eyes widen. He of course, exclaims the two words he just loves to say in these situations "Oh SHIT".

A muffled grunt can be heard from Allen's left, and the shuffling of sheets can be heard. Allen, with his eyes still wide, looks over to his side and sees Kanda sitting up slowly, scratching the back of his head. "What is it bean?" the Japanese asks, and for just a little while, Allen stares at the tattoo on the other man's bare chest. But he then decides, that there are more important things to worry about at the moment.

"We are SO fucking late" the snow-haired boy says plainly "Two HOURS late"

"Are you including how late we were BEFORE we had a good romp or—"

"YES I'm including that" he pauses "…but that's not the point" Allen opts to stand up. "We better get our asses up there" he says. "It's a miracle no one has come looking for us". "Well…"Allen thinks "…at least not that we know of…" Of course he knew that no one would even dare walk in on them, what with the sounds they were making…

"If they're not looking for us, then we don't need to go" Kanda says matter-of-factly. He yawns a moment after.

"Well if you're not going, that's fine…" Allen sighs "…But would you at least stop sitting around naked on my bed?"

"It's not like I'm sitting around naked for funbean"

"Actually…" the Englishman raises his right index finger into the air "…you ARE"

(Original A/N:Is the rating this T still ok? I'm not entirely sure, please tell me if it isn't. I'll change the entire rating of the story if so (because I feel like a scene like that was necessary). ANYWAY, hooray,the storm that was supposed to hit avoided my country's capital! (instead, it chose to antagonize the region where all our rice plantations are... :( poor farmers… D: will we have a rice shortage againbecause of this? I hope not). WEEELLLL, ANYHOW… actually, I still have two weeks of finals ahead of me… And since this will probably be my only free night in these weeks to come… I took advantage of it. Patched this chapter up. And viola. UPDATE :) please tell me if I missed anything in my attempt to self-edit. Hope you enjoyed this chapter (and hope I didn't corrupt any young minds D:)).

A/N after update: It's amazing what half a year does to a person, I now think I might have over reacted about this chapter. It's not like I blatantly said some of the important parts… Or you know, I might be wrong, and I was right to think about whether or not my rating was still appropriate, ANYWAY.
