Barbie.kim: So guys, thanks for reviewing! There were so many choices in this competition, but I think I'm gonna stick with my first choice! Hope you like it! Review, please!
Allen was practically jumping with glee. A prize that could be anything you wanted?! It was too good to be true! Maybe he could ask for a never ending source of food and sweets, or maybe he could get enough money to pay off his idiot guardian's Cross's debts! Just thinking about it about it made his eyes glassy and his mouth drool in a sloppy grin.
Kanda watched Allen carefully, sneaking glances at him now and then, while the albino was off in his own wonderland. They were waiting after class for Komui to debrief them as to what the competition was about. Meanwhile, the Moyashi was jumping all over the classroom. Kanda wanted to deny it but he couldn't help but feel warm whenever he looked at the white-haired boy. And the strange reaction he had when Lavi had asked if the Japanese liked the Moyashi…It was definitely pointing to the obvious choice, but Kanda wasn't ready to admit that yet. It would be a major blow to his pride, so instead he remained grumbling while staring discreetly at the boy.
The door slammed, making both the boys jump. Komui was there, his glasses shining and a cup of steaming coffee in his hand. "Well. Let's get started then shall we?"
Kanda che'ed and closed his eyes, not caring about what the competition was about. Instead, he imagined the Moyashi's face, with the perpetual grin, the silver eyes crinkled in a smile, the pale skin, the white hair, and the lips that made you want to just crush yours against their-…No, Kanda thought, It's better to keep my eyes open.
Komui started talking. "So, you two will be the pair of Class 3A. There are 3 parts to the competition and each of them are concerned about different aspects of cooperation. Now then, your first competition will be the….Three-Legged Race! A classic, no?"
Allen smiled and Kanda smirked. That was all? This was going to be too easy.
Komui raised a finger. "Ah, but there'll also be a little twist to this." Allen and Kanda suddenly frowned. When Komui says there'll be a little twist… That usually meant something that could bring total destruction to the lives involved!
"W-what do you mean a little twist, Komui? asked Allen hesitantly.
Komui cackled, which brought shivers down the boy's spines. "I mean, you guys will be going through a three-legged race….Obstacle Course!"
And he swiped his arm down a board covered with a large piece of paper. Drawn on it was an intricate maze filled with drawings of mountains and swamps and alligators. And the length of the course was…30 miles.
"What the hell. Is that?" asked Kanda.
"Why, my dear Kanda, that is your obstacle course. Finished usually in a course of three or four days. For the more slow people, it could take as long as a week. But, I'm sure you two can manage, right?"
He was answered with two murderous glares. A trickle of sweat ran down Komui's cheek.
"Um, it'll be…fun?"
Kanda and Allen roared, jumping at Komui. However, both of them fell short and landed face first into the floor.
"What the..fuck!" yelled Kanda. He had noticed the clamp that had chained Kanda's left foot and Allen's right foot together. Lavi was grinning behind them, having been unnoticed by the two to have put the secure on them. Now both the red head and Komui were chuckling.
"You'll be wearing that until the day of the competition. I want to win this, and I will go by any means to get it."
"What-?!"
"B-but, Komui, why would you want to win this so badly?"
"Because, Allen, if you win, then the teacher can get a month's worth of vacation with pay. And I'll bring my dear Lenalee with me too."
"You bastard! How are we going to sleep at our homes if we have this-this thing on us?!"
"That's what I'm here for." Said Lavi.
The two boys turned around. Lavi smiled. "You two will be staying over at my house for the next two days."
Kanda growled. "What-"
"the hell, you bloody fuckin' arses?!"
They all froze. Allen was breathing heavily, still angry even after the outburst. That was the day they all found out Allen was not as innocent as they thought.
"Let's go over here."
"No, Moyashi! I don't want to sit with those idiots!"
"Why should you care?!"
"Because, baka usagi, we're chained together and I don't want to listen to their idiotic chatter!"
Kanda and Allen were arguing in the middle of the cafeteria, debating as to where they should eat. So far, it had been fifteen minutes and they still hadn't decided as to where they should go. Lavi and Lenalee were standing a few feet away, their feet sore because they were waiting for the decision that the stubborn pair would make.
"Why the hell was I even paired up to you anyway?!"
"Because, Bakanda, you agreed to be the pair, so you really can't blame me!"
"Fuck this!"
Kanda started rattling the clamp on their leg, trying to break it off. Unsheathing his Mugen, he prepared to slash the stubborn metal when he was hit on the back of the head with a shoe. It was Lenalee's of course.
"Let's just go eat at that empty table over there, okay?" Her voice was sweet, but there was an icy undertone and the boys shivered.
"o-okay…"
"Che."
As they were eating, Kanda noticed that, although the Moyashi was still swallowing his regular two tons of food, there was a pout on his face.
"What's eating you now, Moyashi?"
"…Nothing"
Kanda rolled his eyes, while Lenalee and Lavi secretly watched the upcoming battle.
"I know there's something wrong, baka, so just go on and tell me."
Allen glanced at the raven haired boy, and then averted his eyes again. Kanda noticed he was blushing. What's so embarrassing?,Kanda thought He smiled. It would be fun to find out what it was.
"Come on, you can tell me." Kanda leaned under to look up into the Moyashi's face. Allen flushed even deeper, but Kanda was enjoying the silver eyes too much to notice. Meanwhile, Lavi was smiling slyly and Lenalee was putting her attention to something else, giving the pair some privacy.
"Why don't you say?" But Kanda wasn't exactly so curious anymore. Instead, he was only focusing on the closing distance between himself and Allen's lips. Allen gulped, getting redder and redder with each inch. "U-um, I'll tell you, so you can stop-"
It was too late though. Kanda had lost all sense of self-control and was completely entranced with Allen. Lavi's grin got higher. Allen's eyes widened and he squeaked, "eek!", and fell off the table seat, bringing Kanda down with him.
The Japanese rubbed his head, growling, "What the hell?", while Lavi scowled in disappointment.
"u-um." Allen tried to scramble away, but only succeeded in falling down over and over again as he and Kanda were still chained together. As Kanda slowly came to the realization of what he did, a light pink came over his cheeks. He desperately tried to cover it up. "Baka Usagi… I-I wasn't going to do anything. I just wanted to scare you into spilling your secret. Nothing else."
He knew it sounded very flimsy, but, surprisingly, Allen seemed to buy it. He's gullible too, huh? Kanda thought. But, unfortunately, Lavi was still grinning and staring at Kanda with knowing eyes.
Crap. Now he's gonna think there's something between me and the Moyashi… Kanda vowed to never lose control again, but inside, he knew it was too late to persuade Lavi from thinking anything else. Lenalee jumped up, glad that the sexual tension was all over and saying, "Let's go now, shall we?"
Kanda sighed, not caring anymore, and lent a hand to Allen, saying, "Here, Moyashi. Come on."
Allen blushed a little, but accepted the offer. And Kanda knew that although Allen was the most popular boy of the school, the most accomplished, being number 1 and student body president, and he himself was one of the stupidest on the exams and the worst of the loners, he liked him.
Kanda sighed again. This was not going to go well.
Yeeeeaaahhh….I'm not sure about this. Really hard to write at the end. But I thought it was good overall. So please tell me what you think and review please! PLEEEASSSEE REVIEW!
