Hot Damn 15
Yo. Lately I've been stuck in my house and it's making me depressed. So I though, 'Hey, let's write some fluff.' So today I bring you a chapter of fluff. No, it's not time for the prom yet. But they're getting into their exams. MUHAHAHHAHA. Thank you Kiri-Exorcist92, for taking time to read my fic, even though you are in Summer school right now and depriving yourself of sleep as well. It makes me very happy to find how dedicated you are to my fic. So enjoy the fluff.
WARNING: Fluff. Loads of it. Because I felt like it. Hint of Yullen if you squint and a bit of Lavi/Allen if you look real hard. Motherly Lenalee. Surprise twist at the end because I just had to.
DISCLAIMER: Hoshina Katsura
Fifteen: Are you serious?
Sniff. Sneeze. Cough. Groan.
"Ugh…" Allen moaned as he laid his head onto the counter hoping to ease his throbbing head.
"Ah? Allen, is something wrong?" Lavi asked curiously wincing as he heard the white haired boy cough harshly.
"…I think I have a cold…" The boy said hoarsely rubbing at his eyes.
"WHAT? MY BRIT HAS A COLD?" Lavi cried hysterically starting to pace frantically only to stop when Allen groaned.
"Lavi…please, shut up." The British boy clamped his hands over his ears trying to drown out all noise.
"Right. Sorry." The redhead complied sheepishly.
Allen sighed heavily closing his eyes hoping to get at least a minute of peace. He cringed when the bell above the door jingled.
He didn't have to look up to know it was the one and only Yuu Kanda that had walked in like he did every morning.
Said person looked down at the white haired boy.
"What the fuck, are you dead?" Kanda asked standing in front of the counter.
"Ah! Yuu-pon! Nah, Allen's not dead, he's just sick." Lavi explained patting Allen's back only to have the younger boy erupt a violent cough.
Kanda frowned. "Since the moyashi is out of commission, rabbit you know my order."
"Yes sir!" Lavi drawled giving a salute before bounding off to grab Kanda's order.
In the meantime Kanda just stared down at the pile of limbs called Moyashi.
"If you're so goddamned sick, then go home." The Japanese growled.
The head on the counter nodded in disagreement. "I can't…I have to go to school…exams are coming up."
Kanda just kept frowning. Watching as Allen kept sneezing, coughing, or groaning.
"Here you go Yuu-pon!" Lavi beamed as he handed Kanda his coffee.
The Japanese took the cup and turned to walk out. He heard Lavi ask Allen if he wanted to go home as the door closed behind him.
--
Neither the rabbit nor the moyashi came to school later that day. Kanda figured that Lavi had dragged Allen home. When Lenalee asked where the two were he just simply replied, 'The rabbit's probably at the moyashi's house.'
--
"Why the fuck do I have to go?" Kanda growled annoyed as he begrudgingly followed Lenalee up to Allen's front door.
"Because. You're his friend too." Lenalee stated ringing the door bell.
Kanda snorted. "Yeah, right."
The door opened only to show a disheveled Lavi.
"Oh! Hi guys!" The redhead opened the door and let the two in.
"Hey. How's Allen?" Lenalee asked.
"Ah…well, when I got him home he just had a cold. But then about an hour later it turned into a fever. So I ran around the house trying to find medicine and stuff. It went down a bit but it's still bad." Lavi explained leading the two up the stairs to Allen's room.
"Be warned! His room right now is a mess."
Kanda rolled his eyes. "Just open the fucking door."
Lavi shook his head and entered into the room.
Lenalee gasped at the sight. The garbage can was overflowing with rolled up tissue wads and the floor was littered with them. There were a few articles of clothing strewn along the couch and books and papers were stacked on the desk. Kanda swore he saw two empty bottles of aspirin.
"Shh! He's sleeping." Lavi pointed over at the bed where Allen was under a mass of blankets.
Lenalee walked closer to the bed to see the white haired boy looking a lot paler than he usually was. Placed on his forehead was a wet cloth and on the bedside table were a bunch of medications for colds along with about 5 bottles of Advil or Tylenol.
"Well you seemed to have taken care of him nicely." The Chinese girl praised picking up a bottle of Advil only to find it was empty.
"Yeah. Our little Brit's been coughing and sneezing all day. And every time he woke up he chugged down about half a bottle of aspirin." The redhead plopped down onto the couch ignoring the clothing.
"If you got everything under damned control than I'm leaving. There's no fucking point in me being here." Kanda said as he turned to walk out the door.
"Kanda! Get back here!" Lenalee called as she followed Kanda. She pulled him back into the room by the ear. Lavi laughed at the Japanese's pained expression.
From the bed Allen groaned. Lenalee snapped her attention back to the white haired boy. She bounded back over to the bed to see that Allen had cracked his eyes open.
"Ah! Allen, you're awake!"
"H-huh…? Lenalee?" The white haired boy asked groggily.
The Chinese girl just nodded and smiled. "Yeah, it's me. Kanda's here too."
Allen looked surprised before groaning and reaching for a bottle of Tylenol or Advil.
"Here." Lavi had walked over by now and held out a couple pills and a glass of water. Allen took them both graciously and swallowed them.
"Sorry for troubling you Lavi…" The British boy apologized as he fell back onto the bed with a soft thud.
"Nah, it's okay. What're friends for?" Lavi waved it off grinning down at his friend.
"But…what if you get sick too?"
"Don't worry about it. It takes at least a chain of 6 people to spread a cold." The redhead replied nonchalantly.
"Besides, he's stupid. He can't get the cold." Kanda pitched in from his new perch on the couch.
"Yuu! Don't be mean." Lavi pouted throwing a look at the Japanese.
Kanda just shrugged it off.
"Get some sleep." Lenalee said motherly as she replaced the damp cloth that was on Allen's forehead.
The white haired boy whispered thanks and dozed off once more.
"Okay, well I'm going to go make Allen something to eat when he wakes up again." The Chinese girl announced after she made sure Allen had fallen deep asleep.
"Ah, I'll come with you!" Lavi said happily. "Yuu! Look after the Brit while we're gone!"
Before Kanda could complain the two had shut the door behind them.
"Fucking hell." The Japanese growled annoyed.
He stood up and moved across the room to sit on the chair that was left beside the bed.
He stared at the boy sleeping on the bed and furrowed his brows.
"Damn…" He thought.
"Aww! Isn't he cute? He looks so defenseless sleeping like that!" The voice inside his head squealed in delight.
"You did not just say that about the moyashi." Kanda said slightly disgusted.
"Oh but I did my dear Yuu." The voice cackled.
"Shut the fuck up." Kanda growled growing impatient with the never ceasing voice.
"But you know I'm right! He looks just so adorable!" The voice gushed.
"Fucking Christ." Kanda muttered trying to stop the twitch in his eye.
He looked down at the white haired boy when a small groan emitted from the sleeping figure.
Allen's face was flushed and his brows were furrowed like he was upset.
To Kanda's much chagrin he felt his face heat up the slightest bit.
"Damned moyashi." The Japanese growled.
To his own surprise his hand automatically reached out and gave a pat to Allen's head. The boy instantly relaxed, his brows no longer furrowed. Kanda cursed whatever force possessed him to do that. Withdrawing his hand he blamed God.
"I'm going insane." Kanda grumbled leaning back in his seat not noticing the quietest click that emitted from the door.
--
"Oh my God! Did you see that?" Lenalee shrieked excitedly as she reached the bottom of the stairs.
"I-I can't believe it! Yuu showed physical signs of affection!" Lavi blurted still shocked at what he had seen.
"I know! Isn't it great?" The Chinese girl gushed swooning happily.
"B-but Yuu! H-he! And then the thing with the hand and the patting!" The redhead babbled.
"I KNOW!" Lenalee kept squealing in happiness.
--
A couple hours later
"We're back!" Lavi announced suddenly bursting into the room.
Lenalee followed close behind with a tray of soup.
"Kanda, did Allen wake up…?" The Chinese girl trailed off. Lavi stopped in place looking at the seat where Kanda was.
The Japanese had fallen asleep on the chair with his head tilted down slightly. It was a rare sight to see considering Kanda never fell asleep where people could easily see him.
The redhead slowly smirked pulling out a marker from his back pocket where he always stashed it and crept up to the sleeping Japanese, taking off the lid as he did.
"Lavi! Don't!" Lenalee called quietly.
"Don't worry!" Lavi replied not looking back. When he came close to Kanda he held up the marker.
"Don't even think about it rabbit." Kanda growled without lifting an eyelid.
Lavi, surprised with the sudden warning dropped the marker and stepped back taking a defensive position.
"Ah, Yuu…you're awake." The redhead said sheepishly.
The Japanese rolled his eyes getting up off the chair.
"Since you two decided to come back, I'm going home." Kanda said irritably making a beeline towards the door.
"Okay. See you!" Lenalee waved smiling as she took Kanda's former seat.
--
-A couple days later: Friday-
"Wait, so run that by me again?" Allen asked for the umpteenth time.
"Kanda gave you a pat on the head when you were sleeping." Lavi replied with a laugh. He'd gotten over his shock and was giddy like a school girl.
"Do you mean Yuu Kanda? As in tall, long hair, grumpy, half assed bastard who hates my guts? That Kanda?" The white haired boy asked for reassurance.
"Who the fuck are you calling half assed, moyashi?" Kanda growled as he walked up to the two.
"Of course, who else would I be describing to a T than you, straight cut fringe." The white haired boy stated with a polite smile.
"Go burn in hell." Kanda retorted twitching. Lavi just doubled over in laughter.

Later that night
Allen sat in his chair staring at a piece of paper in his hand that was trembling.
Stupid apprentice,
I'll be returning back 'home' soon. You better have not messed up the place.
Cross Marian.
There was a crudely drawn doodle of Cross himself next to his name.
"…WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE COMING HOME!?" Allen shouted to no one in particular. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
Ironically earlier that day Kanda had told him to go burn in hell. Well, Allen wasn't going to have to 'go' to hell. It was going to come to him.
