When Day Meets Night Chapter 3
Kanda POV
He felt his muscles loosen then tighten, loosen, tighten,
"Jeeze Yu chan how long are you gonna take!!"
A vein on Kandas temple twitched, he ignored the annoying red head, he returned to his workout.
"Yuuuuuu!!!"
Kanda swung round and almost chopped Lavis head off with Mugen, he gave a warning glare and returned to ignoring the boy who was now sitting quiet on the floor of the gym room picking at the carpet. After half an hour he had finished his cool down and was heading for the showers, he stopped as a bottle of water was thrust in front of him,
"Gotta keep hydrated Yu chan, don't wanna get a nasty headache",
"Che, I already have one in the form of a very annoying red head, now move so I can shower" Lavi backed off and looked sad, at this Kanda snatched the bottle and murmured a 'Thank you'. Lavi heard this and bounded out the door to his class, which he was late to and Kanda was also late in arriving to his practical art class. The teacher told him sternly the disadvantages of being late to class, collected his supplies and sat at his table with Allen. Allen of course was well aware pf Kanda since he had entered the room and smelt the fresh smell coming from Kanda, he pinched himself, which didn't hurt but old habits die-hard.
"So" Kanda looked up from his work at the sound of Allen's voice, "Why were you late for class", he had a cross between a smirk and a smile on face which Kanda identified as cute and mentally slapped himself for think that, 'men are not cute!', 'Well this one is" a voice in his head retorted which he hushed quickly,
"I was training, I'm eh here on a scholarship for my sword skills, I'm in the fencing club."
"Hm, that's interesting, you know my brother is in the fencing club too, Tiki, as well as a few other clubs as well", Allen smiled warmly at Kanda,
"Are you in any clubs Walker san?"
"Allen"
"What?"
Allen smiled again, looked back down to his painting and said, "You can call me Allen." He looked up and answered, "And yes I'm in the music club, I play piano as well as some others I have picked up."
"Not the art club then?" Kanda was looking at his sketch, a miniscule blush set on his cheeks.
"No, but I am part of the Library club, mostly for the books than the company though."
Kanda nodded, "Lavis in that club, his Granddad is the Librarian here."
Allen tilted his head to the side and replied, "You red headed friend? Yes he's ehm, lively." He chuckled at his choice of words.
"Pain n the ass too" Kanda scowled,
"But he's your friend so he's has to have some redeeming features to him."
Kanda suddenly noticed the way Allen spoke, like he was from the 18 hundreds or something but slightly modernised, but he replied
"He does I guess, sometimes."
Allen laughed, people turned to stare,
"Well sometimes is better than nothing, I guess", he smiled right at Kanda. He felt his face heat up and looked down.
"I'll have to apologies to Lavi when I see him next" Allen said absentmindedly, "For what?"
"Well for the way my brother acted towards him, and for stealing you away this lunch time, but I think Tiki has plans for him."
Kanda raised an eyebrow, he decided he didn't want to know.
"You have no objections then?"
"To what?"
"Having lunch with me," Allen leaned over the table slightly and picked up a pencil, eyes never leaving Kandas.
"….not really" said Kanda quietly, Allen simply smiled as he worked a pattern into his paint with the pencil.
They walked towards the lunch hall talking about their art assignments and what not and Allen had barely sat down with Kanda when Tiki came over and interrupted them,
"Allen we need to go home, now" Allen raised a silver eyebrow,
"What's wrong Tiki?"
"Louis phoned, Rhode had an" he looked sideways at kanda "accident, Louis needs us at home."
Allen stood up and looked at Kanda and smiled sadly, "Sorry, take a rain cheque?",
Kanda Scowled slightly at Tiki and nodded, "See you tomorrow I guess."
With that Allen and Tiki were walking quickly from the hall, just the Lavi sat down across from Kanda in the seat Allen had just vacated,
"Sup Yu?"
"Nothing." He poked as his soba noodles the started to eat. Lavi stared at him,
"Yeah, you know that Tiki guy?"
"Not really"
"Well anyway, he's like Allen chans Bro or something yeah?"
Kanda nodded, his mouth full of noodles,
"Great you can ask Al chan what his brother like eh likes you know coz you're all chummy with him!"
"Why would I do that?"
"Because! Sides Tiki seems to like me, in a sort of perverted way and he's kinda hot too I guess."
Kanda banged his head off the table and sighed.
"Thanks Yu chan!"
"Don't call me that you baka!"
Meanwhile, Tiki and Allen had made it back home and found Rhode having a fit,
"It's a strong one this time, stronger than any she's had before" Louis looked at Rhode sadly, ""Help her Tiki, Allen".
Tiki set to work putting a calming mood around Rhode as she had her visions, and Allen knelt beside her and looked to see what she was seeing.
"Shit!"
"What!?!" chorused Louis, Sophie, Tiki and Linali.
"They're coming" Allen looked wide eyed at his family.
"Shit…"
"No they CANT!!!"
"Louis! What are we going to do!"
Louis, clenched his fists and some bones cracked, the answer he gave was so simple, but chilled them to their bones,
"Prepare."
