The Noah's fingers curled around the champagne glass and she timidly placed it to her lips, inhaling the sweet aroma softly. Wine could be extremely calming in situations like these. The glass felt cold against her warm skin and she sighed deeply, shutting her eyes just as the door to the family kitchen slammed open with such force that the table shook.

"I pray that you had a good morning?" Lulubell said nonchantly, already knowing the answer. "Or are you going to throw another fit today Tyki?"

Tyki stopped in his tracks frowning as he eyed the women carefully. "Excuse me?" It was true that he was pissed and was about to start complaining. He had just found out that some fangirl had posted a video of Lavi and the long haired man kissing in a bar. It was disgusting. Totally revolting. An outrage. That was supposed to be him.

"You know what I said Tyki-sama." Lulubell whispered, her gaze still fixed to the glass in her hands, watching as the red wine sloshed inside. "Or must I repeat myself for your sake?"

"What's wrong with you?" He asked.

"Me? What is wrong with me?" She let out a bitter laugh. "Nothing that should concern you. That's all."

"Are you going to be ready by tomorrow night?" Tyki sighed running a hand through his black hair. "We do need you for this one."

"Of course. I'm always there aren't I?"

"That's not entirely true. But get rid of the disgusting video on that accursed website will you? I know you're good at hacking."

"Yes Lord Tyki. Anything else? A gold car? How about a back massage?" Lulubell mused, resting her chin on the palm of her hand.

"Lulubell, if you're on your period—"

"Enough." She snapped at him causing him to go rigid in shock. "You," she began, gesturing to the door with a mere flick of her wrist. "Have work to do if I am correct. I'd hurry. Perhaps you could catch up to the red head before he takes his leave." The last of her words came out almost like acid but her face was still perfectly emotionless.

Tyki felt his lips curl into a sneer and with a flip of his coat he stormed back towards the exit, making sure to slam the door as hard as he could. Who did she think she was? Telling him off like she was his mother or something! He was mad. He had every right to be. And her? Ha! All she ever did was take care of him. Feed him and make sure he didn't overdose…Tyki grit his teeth so hard he thought he might have broken his jaw and with a defiant breath kept walking towards the outside. There was no time to worry about Lulubell now and he was definitely going to go through with the plan

The plan.

A sadistic chuckle escaped his lips as he recalled the Earl's words. There was a reason he was feared greatly. And now, maybe, he could find some peace in this unforgivable world. Pulling his pack of cigarettes from his breast pocket, he placed it to his lips.

Lulubell watched him from the window, feeling a tear escape the corner of her eye, dropping into the glass of wine. The ripples immediately caused an entrancing gaze and Lulubell smiled as Tyki smiled.

A game was about to begin.

Xxx

Lavi's hand stopped as he tried for the thirtieth time to knock on the familiar door. His hair was dripping wet, his clothes were sticking to him and he still smelled heavily like shampoo and alcohol. Swallowing the 'what ifs' going through his mind he timidly outstretched his hand again and knocked on the wooden door. What's the worse that could happen? The wait was almost unbearable and seconds turned into hours but finally he could hear the sound of the locks being unlatched.

Lavi weighed his two options as the door began opening. One, he could pretend he forgot and act totally oblivious to what had happened. But knowing Kanda, he could probably tell. Or there was option two which was look like an awkward idiot and stutter incomprehensible words until he finally said something moderately logical.

You'll never guess which one he chose.

"Oh my god Yu is that a new haircut!? Wow, it looks great! Hehe where'd you get it done?" Lavi let out a hysterical laugh. "You know last time I cut my hair it looked exactly the same except the tips were a little straighter—"

"Usagi…" Kanda groaned, feeling his eye twitch in annoyance.

"—And the lady like totally overcharged me and I was kind of mad but she paid me back with a few drinks. But they were really nasty and they tasted like weeks old vodka—Ya know when you leave a grape in the sun it turns into a raisin? Well that's sorta of the same concept except vodka—!"

Kanda drew back his hand and slapped Lavi across the face. "Better?" He sighed, ready to raise his hand again.

Rubbing his cheek, Lavi nodded grumbling, putting his hands up in a 'whoa betty' gesture. "Ya sorry. Needed that."

"I noticed."

Silence.

"So uh what are you doing?"

"This."

More silence.

"Last night was fun…do you have a hangover Yu?"

"Duh."

The birds began chirping out the window.

A car drove by, the sound of screeching tires.

Some asshole was cursing colorfully in the apartment next door.

"Can I come in?" Lavi asked reluctantly, having to bite his lip as he got an image from his dream. 'I am not going to screw him, I am not going to screw him, I am not going to—'

"Lavi are you going to come in are you going to blush like an idiot?" Kanda scowled, leaning against the door as he held it open for the red head. "Hurry up. I have the heater on and I don't want to add on my bill even more." 'Awkward…Dude, don't look at him or you'll get images, don't look at him or you'll get images—'

"Yu your face is red now…"

Kanda blushed even harder and made a weak attempt of letting out a scowl. "Whatever get in."

Timidly sitting on the couch, Lavi eyed the long haired man nervously and began playing with a piece of string from his scarf. He opened his mouth to say something just as Kanda opened his.

"You first." Lavi murmured.

"No it's fine you can go."

"No, really, you go first Yu."

"Mines not as important."

"Maybe it is. Go."

"Usagi…" Kanda glared threateningly. "Go."

"I forgot what I was going to say…?" Lavi let out a nervous chuckle.

"Liar."

"Well, Jesus Yu! I'm being polite here now and you won't even accept my offer—"

Kanda grabbed a fistful of Lavi's shirt and brought him dangerously close to his face, a snarl escaping his lips. "Go."

Lavi inhaled deeply. "Yu I—"

To be continued! In April! XD

A/n: I'm evil. So, so very evil. Teehee. I wonder what Lavi's going to say? OH well. Lol until next time.
