"I hate this!" Allen declared as he fell backwards onto the bed. Allen sighed and picked up a pillow. He began tossing it into the air and catching it. Kanda smiled and snatched it midair.
"Well, you'll have to get used to being a vampire. The first thing I guess, is getting used to sleeping during the day. So, that means shut up and go to sleep."
"Okay...sheesh." Allen rolled over and pulled the blanket up over his head. The bed next to his squeaked and Allen peeked out from under the covers.
"Oh...your sleeping over there?" Allen asked and Kanda rolled over to face him.
"Huh? Why wouldn't I?"
"Nevermind!" Allen squeaked and pulled the blankets up to his nose. Kanda chuckled.
"What are you doing?" Allen asked as Kanda lifted his blanket and laid beside him. Kanda wrapped his arms around Allen and smiled.
"You sounded like you wanted to share." Kanda smiled. Allen muttered something Kanda couldn't hear, and Kanda kissed the top of his head gently.
Allen stared at the keypad of the flip phone he'd just bought at the gas station. He punched in the familiar number and put the phone to his ear. It rang three times before someone picked up.
"Hello?" The person on the other end asked, sounding tired. Allen gulped.
"Lavi? It's me, Allen."
"Allen! Where are you? Are you alright? Why didn't you tell me you were leaving? I was worried sick!" Lavi asked, rambling off question after question.
"Lavi, we need to talk, it's important. I can't say over the phone. Can you come this weekend?"
"Yeah, yeah. Where are you exactly?" Lavi asked after a moment. Allen rattled off the place he wanted to meet.
"Come after sundown, alright? I can't go out in the sunlight." Allen commented and Lavi laughed.
"What are you a vampire?!" Lavi laughed and Allen nervously laughed.
"I'll see you then." Allen said and flipped the phone closed.
"Ready to go find something to eat?" Kanda asked. Allen nodded and pulled on his hoodie.
The week passed quickly for Allen as he adapted to his new lifestyle. He still hesitated to kill someone, but no longer needed Kanda's help to do so. The sun had finally set for the night and Allen awaited the knock on their door. Allen sat cross-legged on his bed flipping open and closed his phone.
The window opened and Allen jumped. Kanda climbed into the room with a woman slumped over his shoulder. She appeared to be unconscious. Allen frowned as Kanda tossed her onto the other bed.
"Kanda...I'm expecting a friend in a few minutes. Did you seriously just bring an unconscious woman here?" Allen asked. Kanda shrugged and sat next to the woman.
"You've got to eat, Allen. We can share her then stuff her in the closet until this friend leaves."
"Arg, fine. I get to go first, then you drag her to the bathroom and finish her alright?" Allen said moving the the other bed. Kanda nodded and Allen pulled the woman bit into her flesh and drank the blood greedily. Allen closed his eyes as he drank. The blood was disqusting but Allen tried to stomach as much as he could.
Allen removed his fangs and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He smiled and handed her over to Kanda. A knock was heard on the door, and Allen ushered Kanda into the bathroom.
Allen swung open the door and was greeted with a large hug from Lavi.
"Hey, Lavi. Long time no see." Allen smiled as Lavi released him.
"Yeah. What do you think you're doing?! Just leaving me like that." Lavi demanded.
"I had to get out, and I was offered the chance. I'm so sorry. But that's not what I have to talk to you about."
"Hey, Moyashi. That chick was nasty how did you stomach it?" Kanda asked closing the bathroom door.
"Kanda! If you didn't like her then go find someone else. You're the one who grabbed her, not me. I was here waiting for Lavi." Allen defended, then closed his mouth quickly.
"Allen, who is that and what are you talking about?" A very confused Lavi asked.
"Lavi, this is Kanda, Kanda, Lavi. Kanda is being a dick because he thought the chick he grabbed was nasty, which in truth she was, and he should just go find someone else." Allen explained.
"Uh...what?"
"I'm a vampire, got a problem with it? No? Okay good, because the moyashi has been one for a little over two weeks. No, it wasn't me who did it so don't get all angry at me or some shit. And with that, I'm off." Kanda declared. He kissed Allen on his way to the door and Allen swatted him away.
"So, you're a vampire?" Lavi asked and Allen nodded. "You don't sparkle, right?"
"No I don't sparkle! And if I did, I would pour holy water on myself and then go for a stroll in the morning!" Allen laughed.
"Is that what you wanted to talk about?" Lavi asked
"Partially. I know what happened to Lenalee." Allen stated and Lavi looked at the floor.
"Oh yeah? What happened, everyone was told animal attacks." Lavi commented.
"It was a vampire. More specifically, it was Kanda." Allen stated as he sat down heavily on the bed. The room was silent for a few minutes as Lavi processed the information.
"So, that guy that just kissed you and left, killed my ex-girlfriend? Your best friend! You just run away with him. Did you forget that minor detail?" Lavi yelled and Allen sat silently taking the expected reaction.
"I just found out! I had no idea alright! Up until two weeks ago, I thought he was just the guy who helped me leave that ass hole Cross.I was so pissed, Lavi that I just left okay, and that was the worst decision on my life. I ended up being turned into a vampire because I left the inn that day." Allen retorted, standing to defend himself.
"I just can't believe you would stick around with him after he did such a thing." Lavi commented. Allen didn't say a word, not sure why he had even stayed in the first place. It was a good enough reason to leave, yet he stayed and Allen wasn't sure why.
