A/n: Well I would like to say this chapter is much longer then my other ones. So I do apologize if my spelling errors got worse. Really, I do. I don't try to purposefully. Well we finish our stupid STAR testing today so I get more time to write but both me and Nellchan might take longer to update our stories cause we are going to Nationals for HOSA and need to get started. Haha For those who don't know what HOSA is go check it out. See if your school has the club and join. :D It's a lot of fun. IMPORTANT—If you are sensitive and cry easily during sad parts I suggest you go get a tissue box. This chapter ends pretty angsty. And don't worry I'm not leaving you with an ultra bad cliffy but it does build the suspense. Please review, I read all of them. Flames or not. I'm just happy people are reading my stories.
P.S. Me and Nellchan came up with this crazy idea to co-write a story. But be warned, it is an OC (that means Kaiyo and Alex are in it) and if you don't like those type of fics, please don't flame us. Haha it's called Anachronism and it's on nellchan0013 profile.
Thank you. I love you guys and we're almost done with the story you guys! Let' just get through the hard parts so we can get onto the happier times!
As Tyki stood outside the familiar wooden door he had gone into so many times, he grimaced. He had breathed in over two packs of cigarettes before hand and he now desperately wanted another one. He knew that Road was watching him from the keyhole in her room, waiting to see if he was actually going to apologize to Lulubell. He made a mental note to fill that keyhole with plaster and change Road's room to the basement.
Tyki Mikk was never known to be a remorseful person.
Charitable, yes. Rich, of course. Handsome, always. Kind, he had his times.
He wasn't necessarily saying that he didn't love Lulubell, but to actually love her—a difficult situation. Removing the gloves from his hands and shoving them into his pocket he readied his hand over the door to knock. He knew how much Lulubell loved it when he was mockingly courteous. The first know was too weak, and the second was a little stronger. He could hear shuffling from the other side and swallowed heavily. She was getting up from her bed. He could practically see through the door at her long hair being pushed from her face, her hands smoothing down her shirt and placing her book to the side. She could be killing someone but was always looked presentable while doing so.
The brass doorknob slowly turned and after what seemed to take an eternity, the door opened.
"What do you want Tyki?" Lulubell's voice was coarse, uncaring. Cold.
"Can I come in?" He beckoned to the door a charming smile on his lips. He knew what he was doing was going to kill her if she ever found out but he was the master of a poker face. Lying was just another one of his skills.
Searching his facial features, Lulubell inhaled deeply and opened the door a little wider. "Come in. This is your house after all."
"Actually, it belongs to the Earl." He corrected, stepping inside. "Are you going to be mad at me forever?" He asked gently, feeling his heart clench painfully, but did not show it. He was going to break her heart. Again.
Wonderful.
Lulubell felt a sneer cross her lips. "Forever? Why, Tyki forever is a long, long time." Her eyes hardened. "It would never be long enough."
"Ouch." Tyki smirked, placing his hand over his heart. "You still know how to hurt a person don't you Lulu?"
"I learned from the best didn't I?" She snapped right back.
"…If I remember correctly, you slapped me." Tyki took a step forward.
"If I remember correctly, you were being an ass." She immediately took a step back.
"That may be true but you losing your cool isn't…natural. Quite frankly it's a little terrifying." He let out a small chuckle and tilted his head to the side.
"Look, if that's what you wanted to say—!"
"I'm sorry." Tyki interrupted which caused a silence to fill the room.
Lulubell was speechless and felt her heart slam into her chest. "What?" She whispered, the wall of emotions crumbling.
"Lulubell, I'm sorry. For the way I treated you. For the things I said. I'm sorry I never noticed." Tyki said the sentence so sincere that he couldn't be sure if he was still lying. She believed him. And he was going to eradicate her on the inside. He knew that. He knew what he was doing but no matter how much he tried to stop the lies from pouring out of his mouth, the stronger and more believable they got. "I still need you."
She was frozen. Lost at words. What could she say?
"You promise?" She murmured, her defense so weak that she couldn't tell what was a lie or not anymore.
Tyki smiled gently and laced his hands into hers. "Promise." He lied, bringing her hands to his lips and placed a tender kiss on them. "I still need your help though. It's no longer to get the red head. Just to separate them."
"You don't want him anymore?"
"Why would I…" Tyki sighed and then he knew that the next words were so painful that he felt his own heart clench on how selfish he was being. To the women who had stuck with him through everything. Beautiful Lulubell. "When I have you with me forever to love?"
Lies. It was all lies. The poker face nearly slipped through his expression as he fought to hide his own unbearable pain at the thought of her heart breaking again. He didn't know anymore. He was so torn. Did he love her? Did he want to spend the rest of his life with her? Tyki pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind, letting her hand slip out of his grasp. Along with the rest of his heart.
Lulubell nodded, the softness of his lips still lingering on her mind. "Alright."
Xxx
"Yu did you call the guys yet or not?" Lavi called through the bedroom door to the kitchen.
"Yes I did. I'm not as irresponsible as you are Usagi."
"Hey! I take that to great offense! Jeez I thought me making love to you would ease you up!"
"Shut up!" Kanda barked angrily, slamming the door open. "You're one to talk. You are still childish and immature."
The red head shrugged as he slipped one of his lover's shirts on. "Hey, you fell in love with me didn't you? Now shut up and get dressed. I borrowed a friend's car just to drive us to the bachelor party. We don't want to look poor when we kidnap Allen, do we?" He grinned happily.
"Lenalee is going to kill us. You are aware of that, yes? I mean, we are literally kidnapping Moyashi just to get him to go to his bachelor party."
"So…?"
"Right." Kanda nodded, a small smile spreading on his lips. Lavi's happiness could be contagious.
"Got the rope?" Lavi asked.
Kanda flexed a rope that was in his grasp. "Yep."
"Special vodka?"
He pulled a bottle from the bag hanging around his shoulder. "Yep."
"Car keys?"
"Yep." He dangled a BMW key from his finger.
"Strippers card?"
Looking ashamed and disgusted, Kanda pulled it from his pocket. "Tragically."
Lavi smiled brightly. "Great. Let's go. I'm driving."
"God have mercy on the people driving tonight." Kanda chuckled as he shoved everything into the bag and walked towards the door. Imitating a gentleman, Lavi held the door open for him, bowing lightly.
"Beauties first." He smiled the childish way of his that made his lover blush lightly.
"Why thank you." Kanda mocked right back and Lavi pulled him by his neck for a breathtaking kiss.
When they had finally finished their business, the two departed towards the car and began there hunt for there main guest.
Kidnapping Allen had been fairly easy then the two of them had expected. The white haired boy had been walking home after all with Lenalee and all they had to do was park, muffle, tie, drag, throw, and then drive off.
Simple.
Easy peasy.
"YOU BETTER BRING HIM BACK SAFTELY!!!!" Lenalee screamed after them, trying not to smile. Men were so stupid and predictable.
Lavi chuckled and bumped fists with Kanda. "Told you she'd be ok with it Yu."
"What the hell you guys?" Allen scowled, freeing himself from the ropes. "Was that necessary!?"
"Shut up Moyashi. We just did you a favor. Not to mention. I know Lenalee's throwing her bachelorette party tonight. You do not want to be in a room with freaking Miranda Lotto and a bunch of Chippendale stripper guys."
"I need to go back!" Allen moaned in agony, reaching for the door but Lavi just grinned and locked all the doors while he made a sharp turn at the corner of the street.
"Allen, me and Kanda can either tie you up again and force you to go or you can behave and get drunk like real men do. Sounds savvy?"
Kanda raised an eyebrow. "Savvy?"
"Shut up Yu."
"I wanna go back! I don't like drinking!" Allen screamed in frustration. Both Kanda and Lavi looked at him through the rearview mirror in complete horror.
"Yu, go in the back and check his pants if he's a man." Lavi frowned, being completely sincere.
"Ew no. I don't need to check to know." Kanda snorted shaking his head.
"Poor Lenalee."
"She will find out on her wedding day that she's committed to a woman."
"How tragic Yu."
"A pity."
"That's a waste of flesh."
"And he can beat us at poker. We've been reduced to trash Lavi."
"I think I'm going to go shoot myself. How about you?"
"Yep, suicide. Only way out."
"I agree. And all because he didn't want to drink."
"Lenalee should marry me." Lavi sighed.
Kanda's glare made Lavi immediately smirk. "Of course, she'll never compare to you my sweetie honey bunch you!"
"SHUT UP!" Allen barked, slumping in his seat in defeat. "I will do whatever you guys want me too but please, please for the love of GOD, just shut up!"
Lavi and Kanda slapped a high five.
Allen sulked and then perked up as they parked the car. "I smell food."
Lavi made a face. "Duh. What? You think we'd let you die from intoxication without having anything to throw up tomorrow? Puh-leaze." But before the white haired boy could respond he was already following the aroma of dumplings.
Kanda snorted at his lover. "You sound like a teenage hormonal girl."
"Really? I thought I sounded like you, Yu." Lavi laughed aloud as he dodged Kanda's fist. "Chill out, you know I'm just messing with you. Now c'mon, grab Moyashi before he shoves his face full of food."
Pushing their way into the bar's crowded doors Kanda's blue eyes immediately found Allen's white hair bobbing in the crowd. The farther he pushed his way into the crowd; girls seemed to latch onto him from every angle. It was infuriating. "Moyashi!" He scowled and suddenly found himself getting pushed into the dance floor and into a young women.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Kanda!" Kaiyo grinned, balancing a tray of vodka in her hand. "You made us quite rich you know that? Be happy Alex doesn't have her camera right now."
Kanda glared. "This is a no-women-party. How'd you get in here?"
She pointed to her short hair tucked with a ponytail and grinned. "We snuck in for drinks. Watch out if you see Alex on the stripper pole. She has like, a negative tolerance." She laughed aloud. "I can make some money for myself if I sell pictures of her to guys."
Kanda fought back a smirk, taking a step back to return looking for Allen. "Dude, give her hell. I'll find a way to get back at you later. "
"Always." Kaiyo smiled before walking off into the crowd, handing drinks to the already drunk men.
Kanda let out a sigh of relief as he spotted Allen with Lavi and walked over in their direction.
Meanwhile…
Miranda Lotto hiccupped, her drink sloshing in her hand. "Raise you hand if your maaaannnn went to the bachelor party tonight?' She slurred, laughing maniacally. Both Komui and Miranda raised there hands groggily.
Lenalee raised an eyebrow. Did Miranda know that she had only gotten apple cider? Or maybe the male strippers were scaring her. Or maybe it was the fact that her older brother was at an all girl's party—even though he belonged there—and was going hysterical. Taking a sip of her drink she grinned.
"Mary, calm down. You'll spill on the floor. And no more Apple Cider of you. Even though it is not alcohol your happiness might make the baby…jump."
Miranda snorted. "Who's Mary? Oh…is that my new nickname?! Isn't that adorable Komui? Kroy-kins will looooooovvvvveeeee it!"
Komui nodded enthusiastically and fell backwards in his chair from laughing so hard. He was so wasted it was sad. And funny. Lenalee smiled inwardly at the thought of Reever coming in and seeing his boyfriend in such a state. But he was at the "bachelor" party.
"Alright you guys, what do you want to do? The strippers are getting boring and there no where as near as gorgeous as Allen." She sighed contemptly, her cheeks flushing a light pink.
Miranda suddenly leaned very close to the both of them and smiled maniacally. "Let's dance."
Komui cheered. "I'll get the songs!"
Lenalee laughed gently. "Tonight is to us girls…and of course my brother."
Back to the Bachelor Party…
"Who knew Allen could play poker while still being totally wasted…" Lavi whistled with a goofy grin on his face as Cross, Reever, Kroy, and Kanda were groaning in defeat as the white haired boy took all their money.
Allen laughed happily and shoved the money into his pockets, taking a long swing of his drink. "I win! Ha! Now where did that bartender go again…?" He walked—well tried to—towards the counter and ordered more drinks on the house.
Kroy lip curled back as he sneered and threw the rest of his cards down onto the table along with Reever. "Damn it…Another beer please!"
Kroy had a much darker side to him when he drank, which Kanda found extremely amusing. He could only imagine what Miranda was like. The long haired man grabbed his drink off the table and sighed deeply. He was now left without any money.
"Mm what are you thinking off Yu?" Lavi murmured huskily as he wrapped his arms around his lover's waist, leaving a trail of kisses down his pale neck. "How's that zero tolerance of yours?"
"Don't get horny now Lavi. We're still in public." Kanda scoffed although his cheeks had turned pink. "Looks like Moyashi is enjoying the party though."
Lavi grabbed Kanda's face in his hands, his eyes sparked with amusement. "I don't care about anyone but you."
There lips met furiously and Lavi smirked as Kanda had to lean the chair back for support. The red head was about to intertwine his hands through his lover's hair when a ripple of pain tore through his stomach which caused him to wince, a sharp intake of breath escaping his breath.
"Usagi? Hey, Lavi! You ok?" Kanda had grabbed Lavi by the shoulder's to keep him steady. Looking around he swore. "Look, I don't want you drinking anymore. Go get some water or something."
'How many drinks have I had…?' Lavi frowned as he swept through his memory bank but nodded stiffly. The pain was gone but he now desperately needed to throw up. "I got to go to the bathroom." He muttered.
"Want me to go?" Kanda asked genuine concern in his eyes.
"No, no I'm fine." Lavi waved him off and started his way to the bathroom. The lights were blinding him and he found it increasingly hard to walk. How many drinks? There was one that he got from the bartender. One from Kanda and another from Cross. Three drinks. Impossible. There was no way he could get intoxicated by so little drinks. He stumbled into the bathroom, his vision wavering as he grabbed the sink with both hands. Maybe he really did drink more but was too drunk to realize it. But even then, Kanda would have scolded him for that right?
"Well don't you look like shit." Tyki sighed as he came up from behind Lavi, a smile crossing his lips. He waved a little vial in his hand. "I must say, Lulu did a wonderful job of drugging your drink. You look like you are going to pass out at any time Bookman."
Lavi couldn't hear a word he had said and stumbled back, the pain doubling in his stomach. To Tyki, he must have just looked drunk. Lavi leaned against the wall, covering his eyes with his hand and rubbed at them wearily. 'Where the hell am I? I'm hallucinating? That's it—this is a hallucination.'
He didn't understand when he suddenly was pulled into a fierce kiss or when a pair of hands slammed him into the wall. Everything in his body and mind was focused on the pain growing in his stomach and he wanted to just fall asleep. Tyki's lips were moving against his hungrily and still hadn't realized what was going on.
Everything had gone quiet in his mind and the thing that broke him out of his stupor was the sound of approaching footsteps.
The door opened and that was all it took for Lavi to feel everything inside him click. He was kissing Tyki and Kanda had just walked through the door. Kanda stood there. There were not words and no sounds could be heard. A single word was uttered from his lover's mouth—the one that he had kissed so much, tendery or lustfully. The lips that he craved for before he had confessed is feelings. The lips that would always make him smile despite the harshness they could bear….
"Lavi?" Kanda whispered, but there was so much emotion in that single word that made up for everything else. With a shake of his head Kanda snarled, turning around and already making his way to the bar's exit.
The red head stood there horrified as he replayed the scene over and over again in his mind. He had to get Kanda. He ha to find Kanda. He had to apologize, kiss, and just touch him before he got the wrong idea.
"Kanda! Wait, hold on!" Lavi screamed at him and suddenly doubled over, his body slamming into the floor. Everything around him was beginning to fade into black and all he could think about was the throbbing. Too much pain.
Tyki frowned. "Oi, you're heart isn't literally broken so get up."
Lulubell suddenly stormed into the bathroom, her eyes blazing furiously. "What have you done?" She screamed, bending down beside Lavi as she checked his pulse. The red head was totally out cold. "Call the hospital you idiot! You overdosed him!"
Tyki blinked. "Actually," He smirked "You did. I wasn't the one who put the drug in his drink."
Lulubell was struggling to keep her breath. "Shut the fuck up Tyki! Do you hear me! His boyfriend left the bar looking like he was dead! Now call that fucking ambulance or so help me God, I will fucking murder you!" She turned her attention back to Lavi and bit her lip. She knew Lavi wasn't going to last much longer.
And it was all her fault.
The Portuguese Noah didn't speak another word and dialed 911. "Yes, I need an ambulance immediately at the bar…" His words drifted off into the air as the next few seconds were chaotic.
They were all in for a hell of a night.
