When Day Meets Night.
Chapter Two.
The wind whipped past his face, though to him it felt as if it was only a very gentle breeze. He sighed, how could his world have taken this turn? Just one human who is more captivating than anything he had ever seen in his life and now he was lowered to the level of 'human' infatuation, the dark haired boy would not leave his mind, he sighed again irritably. How could this happen, he looked about himself, Tiki was running a few feet behind him smiling, eyes shut. 'He's probably thinking about the red haired boy again' Allen looked ahead of him to where Linali was running with Road on her back, not even the small girl could slow down Linali, he huffed out a breath, not that he needed to. Allen went so far into his thoughts he just clipped a tree with his left arm, though no damage came to Allen the tree lost a sizeable chunk and groaned as if in protest of its sudden mutilation.
"Ever heard the saying 'It a tree falls in the forest and there is no one alive around does it make a sound?'" he heard Tiki ask.
"Tiki-nii I think it didn't have the 'there is no-one alive' part in it", replied Road staring back at Tiki with her small smirk,
"Ah yes, I stand corrected Road."
"Plus if we weren't here we'd probably still hear it you know", Linali stated.
"And the fact there is no 'living' person here either" Road added in a bored voice. Tiki laughed at the comment and they ran in silence once again. Allen once again became lost in his thoughts…
-Flashback-
Allen had just set out his sketches and the equipment he would need for today for is art project when for the second time that day he was assaulted by that dizzying scent and once again his jaw tightened and he became rigid in his seat, he knew that the only free seat in the class was next to him, he cursed so low under his breath a dog would have trouble hearing it. The he heard that voice,
"Eh, h-hey, this is the only seat left and I was wondering if you minded me sitting here?"
Allen looked up and met those dark eyes once again then quickly looked away, eh would have been blushing if he could have,
"Of course, it is the only seat left isn't it?"
Kanda mind slapped himself and sat down, Allen looked at the boy again and saw he felt uncomfortable, and then as if acting on his old human instincts he said,
"I'm Allen Walker, it's a pleasure to make you acquaintance "
Allen Looked Kanda full in the eyes and smiled.
Kanda was taken a back, Allen's pale eyes were like silver fire and his smile though small had a genuine appearance to it, this was all foreign to Kanda who had never had anyone act this way to him this way before, he shook his head when he realised he was staring.
"Kanda Yuu", he stuttered out.
"You name sounds Japanese, am I right?" Allen's eyes were no longer burning, but bored into Kanda and he felt as if Allen could see more than he was letting on.
"Yeah, I-I just transferred here from Tokyo."
"You English is very good, may I call you Kanda?"
"Eh-yeah, if you want. English was one of my better subjects."
"Along with Literature and art?"
Kanda who had no words left simply nodded, the teacher chose that time to come over to explain to Kanda what his assignment for this semester was. For the rest of the hour the two sat in a slightly more comfortable silence, which was broken when they were told it was time to leave, Kanda then spoke before he had thought,
"I guess I'll see you around the university? Maybe you could show me around sometime", 'Gah maybe you could show me around sometime, smooth kanda!'
As Kanda was mentally thrashing himself Allen surprised him out of it by saying,
"Yes, we wouldn't want you getting lost would we." He smiled dazzling Kanda. They walked along the corridor until they came across Tiki who had by the looks of it cornered Lavi and seemed to be harassing him,
"Tiki please don't chat up the other students, its not very nice experience for them."
At that point Lavi ran for cover behind Kanda who
"Che'd".
As Allen and Tiki walked off Tiki called out,
"See you later bunny boy!" and smiled a smile that would put any demon to shame, Allen saw Lavi shiver behind Kanda,
"Dear god Tiki, you have to control yourself"
"I could say the same about you Allen, what did you do to that boy, he was staring at you as if-"
Tiki was cut off when Allen started to run, he sighed and chased after him.
-End of Flashback-
They had reached home and all went their separate ways, Linali and Road went to watch T.V., Tiki went off to the library and Allen found himself outside a very familiar door.
"Yes Allen?"
Allen opened the door and went inside and sat opposite the bespectacled man behind it, he hesitated then he spoke,
"Louis, I need to ask you something."
"Of course Allen, you already know I will answer to the best of my abilities."
The blonde Man behind the desk smiled at his eldest 'son' and put down his book.
"Well, th-theres this person, at the university, em and well they're human but, eh, but they're scent its like drug for me, I've only just met them and well I'm confused, I feel as if I want to get closer but I know that to keep them safe should stay away but I don't know what to do or what's happening to me."
Louis looked at his son thinking how to answer his question when, he suddenly smiled,
"Allen dearest, why are you so afraid to ask for help?" Allen felt a pair of arms hug his shoulders and looked up into the face of his 'mother', Sophie, Louis mate or wife if it's easier to understand. Allen dropped his head and felt the arms leave him,
"Allen", he looked up, "What you have just described to me is exactly how I felt when I met your mother, when Linali found Road and what Tiki came to me with last year about a boy from his class."
Allen sat there, confused,
"So what does it mean?"
"That persons blood sings to you, you've found one of the few people on earth who is enough for you my dear." Sophie smiled at him. She tilted her head when he had no response. Louis intervened,
"Allen, you've found your mate."
Allen became a statue of shock and confusion, his mate, this boy, seriously. Then a thought hit him,
"Wait you know that Tikis ma- well he's a boy too and you don't mind?"
Sophie smiled at her son again, she walked round the desk and laid her hand on Louis shoulder and he put his hand over hers.
"I know we each have come from our own times each Allen and in your fathers, yours and mine, homosexuality was frowned on, we cannot deny it now in this day and age and heaven forbid we would deny you something that may make you truly happy Allen, boy or girl."
Louis carried on for her,
"Look at how happy Linali and Road are together, when Linali first joined us she was so withdrawn, as if there were no reason for her to exist, but then by chance she finds this child who shows no fear of her, we could not be so callous as to put her back into that darkness over such a little matter of gender."
"So Allen tell me who this lucky human is to have caught your special eye."
He hesitated, this time only over how much he actually knew about this boy,
"His name is Kanda Yuu…"
"Japanese I see."
"Yeah, erm well he seems to be around 19 or 20", His parents nodded encouraging him, "He's in both of my classes and he stares at me a lot, its quite disconcerting."
After about 45 minutes of his parents giving him pointers and telling him "Its normal" every few minutes Allen wandered to his room. He shut the door quietly and looked around his light spacious room, at the shelves full of books, paper, sketches, music and other nick-knacks and then to his large deep sofa that was cluttered with his art supplies. He walked over to the couch and settled down, picked up his pad and a pencil and started to draw. The pencil scratching over the paper was a sound that Allen found comforting, he sat there drawing the perfect lines and plains of a boys face, he did not notice till the hair he was drawing went past the boys shoulder did he acknowledge he was drawing Kanda, he stopped and stared at the picture. He was interrupted from his staring contest with the picture when there was a knock at the door and Roads head popped round the door
"Allen-nii were going hunting now are you coming?"
"Yes Road, I'll meet you outside."
Road disappeared, he set down the pad, giving it one last look and headed for the door, cracking his knuckles as he went getting ready for what ever was thrown at him next,
'I hope I can handle it all' he thought to himself, staring at the starry night sky and the crescent moon.
Somewhere in the midst of New York in an apartment a tall dark eyed, dark haired boy stared at the same crescent moon, comparing it to Allen Walker, it didn't turn out too well for the moon.
TTFN people!!
