A-
Allen smiled gently stand up to help the small group attempting to carry his dishes seeing that he had another 8 minutes he could easily help and eat some more while the others enjoyed there own meals hearing a few on lookers mutter about him being too cocky when really he was just speeding up things while giving the chef time to create the order of love was run by terry who had told them when they walked in that after the text Jerry had contacted his brother listing all their favourites and how to prep the to the point Kanda would also be speechless. The first course had been word for word the first stack he had order at the order by date the pile had been filled with memories even more so when he unearthed the last item, the omelet Jerry and Link snuck in before his hell had begun the same words written on it with and extra message that jerry had demanded the meal so far had the shell shocked young man so close to tears it wasn't funny the fact that it was only the first course had him wondering what would be next.
Returning to his seat as Lenalee grinned playing with her meal, that of a bunny made out of chocolate the fur made from whipped cream and pure strawberries until the cream took on the same colour as Lavi's hair a purple ribbon around its neck was words from a poem her brother wrote for her as a child back in china. The bunny held a caramel rose in its mouth that hid the eye Lavi kept patched and the other eye made threw with green bubblegum piece that had white chocolate dripped on to give the appearance of it being real Lenalee was still taking pictures trying to work up the courage to eat her bunny with a knife the had her brothers name writing in chocolate icing.
"lenalady just eat it, I want to know how I taste and Terry will be upset if it went to waste because he's cooking too good to be eaten." Lavi spoke his girlfriend turning bright red at the added meaning her boyfriend had used the others at the table flinching link staring at his food almost putting down his knife and fork.
"Lavi, we are in a restaurant that is serving brilliant food and there's more on the way, considering we all know how much I eat do you really want to push it with statements like that and risk me loosing my lunch." Allen spoke soft a tinge of a blush on his cheeks.
"what you don't want to know if Kanda likes your taste or don't you like his?"
"how would we know that?" the two gay boys spoke together.
Lenalee biting into the rabbit purring at the taste before hearing the other two boys "you mean you haven't tasted each other? But your in a...?"
"Kissing. That's was it no further then kissing what do you think we've been doing." Allen hissed blushing harder.
"sex." Link stated bluntly while keeping the same hush tones they where using Kanda giving a chocked sound.
"No, we never really had the time. Besides kissing was enough, asides dirty talk and borrowing the others bed if we couldn't get to sleep or if one of us where on missions then the other would nick the bed."
"really Yuu the Adonis is still a virgin?" Alma spoke having long finished his meal the two being interrogated nodding.
"so then what's your definition of your relation ship what do you do." Lenalee spoke still purring as she consumed her bunny as the second round of Allen's food arrived blocking them form sight.
"the most extreme things we've gone was rile the other up and then stop." Allen admitted.
"more like me rile you up and the we get interrupted or too short on time moyashi, like the time on the train."
"what time on the train?" Lavi asked grinning.
"I got you back for that remember the time at the hot spring?" Allen ignored Lavi instead causing Kanda to blush if only for a second.
"ok now you HAVE to tell." Alma spoke nicking some popcorn off the Allen's pile hoping the albino wouldn't kill him.
" Allen wouldn't wake up and we had the finder due to get on the train soon so I teased him till he woke up." Kanda smirked.
"teasing meaning biting and kissing my neck while half moaning out all sort of things he may or may not do to me in the future. Then continue teasing and poking holes at my explanation to the finder."
"he woke up when I told him one day he would wake up with me sucking him off while my fist was in him, then he tells the finder that the tiny amount of Hickeys I left where from mosquitoes and slapped me when I told the finder to be ware of moyashi sized mosquitoes cause if they liked Arren's blood well you've heard the line you are what you eat."
Lavi's jaws dropped Jhonny finishing his food with a gulp.
"I not only throttled bakanda and slapped him so hard the bruise last for a bit, I while throttling him whispered he wished their where moyashi mosquitoes wanting to suck him off." Allen stated calmly.
"the bruise lasted just over to hours."
"of silence."
"moyashi you took a nap after nearly breaking my jaw of course it was quite you scared the finder worse then when I glared at her the next day. She actual thought and told me that she believed me to be the Nice one." Kanda sighed causing Allen to grin leaning side way's into Kanda for a second while the the others had time to calm themselves down at the tough love their friends seemed to have.
"What's the hot spring incident?" Alma asked.
" we finished a mission and moyashi got lost and found a hot spring so we decided why not th train wasn't until another day if not longer." Kanda spoke ending it quickly.
Allen giving a devious smile "I pushed him in to the water to make him agree that we need to relax and clean up then I helped him under water washed his hair and plated it into a low hanging tree branch went around out of Mugen's reach striped off so my clothes wouldn't be ruined carefully placed them somewhere safe while staying in Kanda's sight line climbed in and slowly striped him off under water while giving him a fully body massage while keeping away from sexual zones.
Starting while under water at his feet and moving up I barely got to his upper calf and I could hear him moaning while I was underwater once I had finished, I used to nearby herbs to make some massage soap oil that I was taught on one of my odd jobs scrubbed him completely clean. Rewashed his hair and used his drowned clothes to tie him up and so the could dry moved all the way to the other side and enjoyed my bath. The water wasn't too deep when I stood in it it barely covered my hip and Kanda's side had rock formation that he was sitting on. So it came to cover his arms."
"you got him into water with out him killing you I'm impressed."
"I'm not that bad Alma and it was a hot spring." Kanda muttered a faint blush on his face.
"there's something your not saying." Link grinned noticing Kanda trying to change subject.
"when the moyashi was done washing he returned every bit of dirty talk I had used on me gave me a hug then used me as a ladder to get out then slowly the the steam evaporate the water on him while checking to see if my clothing was dry before finally starting to get dressed yanking me half out and dressing me while keeping me pined and unable to fucking kiss him, he then ditched me to find my shoes and changed the hotel rooms so we were no longer sharing and spent the return trip talking to the finder after coming to my room in the morning asking if I had seen his under wear naked before saying 'Oh that's right I left it on the floor near the finders side of the room Oppies'." Kanda hissed dark red.
"that wasn't intentional that last part I searched my side of the room an couldn't find the clothes I had left out so I thought maybe Kanda stole it then recalled that I tripped on where I had my clothes when I went for a moonlight stroll and that the clothing went on to the finders side I found them in the end kicked under the bed." Allen spoke finishing the final plate with another five minutes left just as Lenalee was nearly finished her bunny before yelping unable to continue.
The group turned following her sight down underneath the rabbit cause Allen to blush as hard as Lenalee was as she had been eat it had rolled onto its side the underneath holding to nougat filled Easter eggs attacked to a extra long picnic the chocolate had been scraped off slightly so whipped cream could be inserted and a thin gelatin tip kept all but two drops of cream in from the new angle the chocolate on the gum eye gave the bunny a overly horny smirk as Lenalee tried desperately to remain calm smack Lavi's head into the table when her boyfriend finally spoke.
"damn how does ether of those two know what my dick looks like that's bunny is a true scaled down model OW!" the red head yelped as he was kicked from all directions and his girlfriends hand wound into his hair and slammed him down into the cool metal table.
"you know it's a good thing your brothers not hear Lena and that your didn't take any photos of it from here their would be a missile strike…" Jhonny finally said as Lenalee used the knife with her brothers name finally (she had been borrowing some of Allen cutlery to castrate it and chop it into tiny bits before ordering her boyfriend to eat it or she'd dump him watching the boy meekly eat the joke.
"most defiantly…." Allen muttered his own dark blush still remaining mildly wondering what she saw in the idiot. As a few bowls of ice cream and mistrashi dango where handed to their table Allen and Lavi completely licking clean the plates just as the bell finally went. The rest of the room groaning and poking at the dango unable to eat thus all but Allen's small table had to pay for there meal.
"shall we get some more food now? I was hoping to visit Catherine mother today." Allen grinned watching supposed world champions go green at the thought of More food.
"I suppose, is that where this lot of cash going?" link sighed.
"Nope that to pay for the green gills here I doubt the brought and money thinking they could beat the timer Terry's a gourmet chef ever dish is over 98 dollars due to the festival its reduced down to 73 dollars which means the twelve hundred all but one hundred can pay for them so Terry wont go out of business." Allen smiled kindly once again showing his natural generosity towards this town.
Th walk as pretty quick the shop smelt warm as the inside look like the witch from Hansel and Gretle's witches House everything looked edible the small bell ringing as a nine year old boy wearing a shirt with a big cupcake with the words 'cute enough to eat' came into the room shyly.
"Mommmie customers!"
"I'm coming Aaron." A kind gentle voice echoed out as the slightly rounded woman came out before seeing Allen. "Oh my look how you've grown, come here and let me hug you sweetie don't worry I've got enough to make your staff last a good few years, and don't fret I've made a stash for each of you slightly smaller ones. Seeing I doubt you all have Allen and my owns metabolism. Lets see now where did I oh yes I put it over." The woman spoke hugging Allen before looking around for something her son and Allen both rolling there eyes with a knowing grin the woman moving a if to pick something up just out of sight when the attention was set on then a small sugary komepto explosion took place behind the the small star candy hanging mid air the exploding caused as bags of hand amge candy was shot from specialised candy from the basement into the shop.
"that never gets old." The woman laughed her son and Allen both trying to to laugh with her, Lavi and Jhonny where on the floor Link and Kanda both having swung around as if to kill an akuma while Alma had jumped into Lenalee's arms who in turn jumped an was currently swing from the lights Alma still in her arms, Kanda turning around looking at Lavi's trapped position and opening snorting in laughter, the said position being Jhonny had landed in had Lavi doing the splits bent so far under himself that his face was trapped between his own and Jhonny's pants the scientist yanked away only to find that the clip for the zipper of his pants was caught in Lavi's bandanna setting the laughter off from all of them.
"thank you m'boy for looking after my family." A tall man spoke from the door way Allen bowing.
"its not a big deal sir I just did what had to be done." Allen spoke softly the man smiling.
"Aaron this is your name sake the young boy who saved you mother from nasties." The man continued the little boy looking at Allen for a second then grinning.
"Its nice to meet you." came the very polite manners the child attempting to copy Allen's boy and tripping over his own feet Allen managing to catch him before he fell. The older man moving over to letting his wife and son that the boy.
"I've waited for this day…"
"why? If you don mind me asking?"
"that friend of yours saved my wife my son he did so much for this small community and ye was gone before any one could thank or truly repay him, he's my sons idol even more so when one of the other local kids mentioned something one day when my son was upset over his leg… the doctors where able to save him but the chemicals did effect my child his legs slightly deformed and he has problems with his balance due to it, yet one of the other older kids turn around to him and said that it was ok because Allen had a red arm and he still was a kind gentle angel of god just like Aaron.
That happen after an out of town-er teased him over it the kid who cheer my son up told me that he noticed it while Allen was helping in the bakery a few blocks away." The man murmured watching Allen smile as the boy and his mother played slightly "the chemicals and the way she passed out while Allen was rushing her effect her mind some days she's forgets she s not as young as she was but we've all coped its one of the reason Catherine works despite her age so that when I'm not work we can still have plenty of money my daughter and I alternate work days when I work she doesn't so there one of us to watch over them."
"you know Allen been threw a rough patch lately it was really an accident that led us to coming here but its been good. Five years ago some people hurt him they told us he had died and practically tortured him he got away only a few months ago yet being here is just like hen we were together its nice to see him smile again after so long, after hearing what he went threw we feared we might never see that bright smile again…." Lenalee smiled the man nodding making them each promise to watch over Allen just in time for the woman to turn back to the dolling out all of the food.
"Allen Allen look what daddy got me!" Aaron giggled tugging Allen over to a piano the older boy smiling as the younger sat down pressing keys at random.
"Very good hmm lets see how about we play something together ok now if I press the little keys can you press the big ones?" Allen smiled the little boy nodding frantically beaming with joy as the began.
"When the sun goes down and the lights burn out then its time for you to shine, Brighter then a shooting star so shine no matter where you are fill the darkest night with a brilliant light cause its time for you to Shine, brighter then a shooting star so shine no matter where you are, Tonight." Allen started to sing gently carefully using small sight of hand so the the kid definitely wouldn't miss a key smiling at the utter concentration on the child's face as the little one started to sing with him when they where done the little one smiled.
"how did you know about my stars?"
Allen blinked.
The boys mother murmuring to Allen softly "he was born with his leg slight paralysed with a red colour around his knee is a ring of stars we always told that it was due to him being a heaven sent star to light up our world he swears it glows at night and I'm inclined to believe him."
Instantly Allen nodded gently tugging off his glove the boy gasping point at the green gem in Allen's hand.
"Mommy a star like mine!"
Allen looked over to the boys dad the pair leaving the room with Kanda followed Lavi taking the chance to distract the little Aaron.
"ok Allen tell me."
"its sort-of of like a rare metal that shows up from time to time but a few people are born with it, its not going to harm him but I could but him in a danger."
"where you hurt due to this stuff?"
"yes your wife said she knew my dad mana? He was related to a side of a mini war over it his half brothers on a side that destroys it which in cases like your son and myself could kill us if its just his leg he should be ok if it was destroyed but then he wouldn't have a leg the side that wasn't it destroyed made these robot like things that wont stop at taking his leg they would probably kill you all. The other side the one I'm no longer side on wishes to use it making the users into weapons and sending them around the world to kill the robots as if were mercenaries. I was attacked by both sides due to mana being related to people on the destroy it side."
"what is there we can do to protecting him."
"there are methods… but only one I think is safe... the first would be to have him stay here or go to cross which are out of the question to dangerous another would to remove the metal which if its only in his leg means he wont be able to use it…"
"which is the one your thinking of?"
"one of the thing's I found out is that there are ways to turn it off but if he ever leaves town he'll be defenceless. This towns protected but out side here he'll need it and there no way for you to fight on his behalf the side that will use him as a living weapon is the Vatican the other that will kill him is the Earl Adam millennium…"
"what do you mean weapon? What can I expect if it stays on."
"each one is different but I can show you my arms… its worse if the its in a person as it turn them into a weapon on the if it was in an object I would be able to remove it and not worry but before the Vatican attacked me they threaten to close a orphanage because a four year old orphan had one like your son it was a gem that was forced into his head. I don't want a life of war for your son. Not like I've had… please don't freak when I turn it on. As a warning all but two in the group with me have a form of this stuff but I'm the only one with it in me, Kanda here's sword is made of it, Lavi the red heads hammer it changes sizes, Lenalee the girl is attacked to her legs the anklets, and Alma the one that talking to your wife he's bracelets this metal ends up often in random objects and causes odd things to happen. I know a woman who owns a clock that stopped an entire town because she had a bad day and accidentally said she wanted the next to never come it eventually fixed the problem but its an example of an object." Allen spoke activating his arm the long metallic claws and white cape swirling around him the man trying to concentrate on a decision.
"how would it effect him if it was turned off."
"so long as you keep up physiotherapy he should be able to continue to use his leg, the Vatican wont be able to find him however the Earl would still kill him to destroy it. I'm sorry, in town Terry, and Tina both have connections to neutrals they can help you if you need anything."
"how will you turn it off." The man spoke calmly Allen pulling off the hat the man barely shifting. "Allen I know you would do nothing to harm my family I trusted you to protect my daughter while I was too far to help her and my wife."
"what the earl did to me means I now am a cat… I'll turn into that and do it I wont harm him nor will it hurt it will no longer glow it will be in a coma it might wake up from it but it shouldn't wake any time soon, by the time it asks he should be around his tweenies if not older. But I can promise you it will never hurt him nor your family it not to blame its only fault is that two insane factions want it." Allen murmured before shifting the adult petting him.
The man nodded petting the small cat for before the entered, Lenalee's eyes widening before smiling pointing the kitten out to the small child watching Allen dart around playfully trying to keep the kid relaxed while the parents and link spoke softly focusing on distracting the kid and not being strangled by the mall child. Kanda standing watching as the 'adults' that being the boys parents, Jhonny and Link spoke about security messages and ideas on keeping the boy in the dark with out ever fearing anything in the world.
"tell him it was like a night light, he's big enough on that it doesn't need to light the night for him but if he ever gets really scared or lost and needs something to light his way then it will light up once more and to trust it to lead him home." Kanda spoke calmly.
Butting into their plans while Allen submitted with Lenalee's help to laying in the boys lap the girl insuring her friend wasn't crushed while giving Allen the chance to ask the innocence into rest the high power crystal rolling its eyes submitting willing Alma nearly panicking when three seconds latter Allen flopped sideways out cold the boys parents carefully masking their fear from their son by saying it was past kitty's bed time and that they had to go now and catch up to Allen who left earlier and was very sorry he couldn't stay good bye.
"Allen are you ok?" Lavi muttered leaning towards the kitten in Kanda's arms.
"nnnngh…." Was the nuclear reply the teen seeming to be struggling trapped in a half awake state which put them on alert.
The group moving to spilt again this time Lenalee and Kanda watching over Allen while link moved their accommodation and the rest where sent to get the pet supplies Allen had tried to loophole out of, the two old friends moving to the lake, Allen had mentioned the lotuses where amazing to view as the sun began to fall the isolated area quiet and peaceful despite the still present hustle and bustle of the town this area wasn't off limits but was left untouched a raw beauty, Allen was curled up half awake purring softly as Kanda petted him gently as Lenalee coaxed her friend into a soft chat wanting to know everything that had been happening without her knowledge.
The peace magic but fleeting as a soft voice came out from the surrounding areas softly looking around in fear.
"Allen?" the soft voice of road came the two exorcists tensing as the short girl step forward hands raised in truce. "I'm alone, is he ok? Allen I mean?"
"he's slowly getting better what's wrong road? What are they planning." Neah spoke road sitting down nearby but still far enough back.
"Adams stepping up, theirs plans to attack Vatican city and the order at the same time but first he needs Allen, all Noah have been ordered to locate Allen and recapture him, this time however we've planed more efficiently, Lulubell's distracting Tyki where going to lead him into a trap, Neah you need to get him to the order I know Allen's scared but he's safer their right now. Jasdevi are working on a method to protect Allen once he makes it into the order but were running out of time, one option is to send Lulubell in her cat form, make out their both cats that can sense and akuma and destroy them despite no visible innocence. That way she can keep others away even more so know that we know the truth of Allen's family."
"you found it then, I was wondering how long it would take you Road… send Lullu I can watch over them both from a distance so long as she stays in cat form and wont harm any innocence we should be able together things working." Neah nodded gently ghosting over to his niece hugging her gently Kanda nodding.
"I'll send general Cross the message and get the new order into gear, so long as the moyashi's safe I couldn't care less who came near him got it."
"most defiantly lotus boy, I WAS there with Allen threw that trip of yours, hows Alma I've been watching you both for a bit trying to steer you closer to Allen I'm glad my plan worked." Road smiled as Allen shifted falling more into a peaceful sleep.
"and so we have a truce for the safety of those we love. A united front wanting this war to end for Allen's sake and the sake of our family and friends." Lenalee grinned holding a hand out to road the girl shaking it with a propose.
"forget changing locations where leaving town asap." Kanda spoke waltzing in and grabbing his own bag along with Allen's slinging them over his shoulder.
"what" why" "but Yuu" "Explain yourself"
"Road just gave us a heads up the Noah family's not far behind under order to kidnap Allen back to the earl before launching an attack on the order and Vatican city, Road and all but Tyki are on our side for Allen's sake, were to return to the order at once Lulubell will be joining treat her as a pet, I'm to pass both her and Allen off as adorable cats I've adopted Lulu's going to pose as Allen's mother she's just going to stay silent and protect him." Lenalee spoke quickly her hush urgent whisper sending them all off re-grabbing everything and fleeing Allen still asleep in Kanda's pocket while the group half raced the sunset behind them as they returned back into the war, Alma and Jhonny moving to inform cross as Link went straight to the Vatican hoping to speak with a friend who owed him their life wanting to warn them.
