Day 7.

Rewards

"So, wait. Why are you not going to touch me for the remainder of the night?" I asked Lavi slowly, looking at him with questioning eyes. I didn't actually get why he would not touch me, hence my asking.

"You're badly hurt, Allen. Every time I touch you, you wince slightly, I ask if you're okay, you say yes. And you aren't, Allen. You really aren't. You're so bruised and beaten from your last mission that it isn't even funny. I just honestly don't get why you can't agree that you're hurt," Lavi ranted on and on about how I was not fine. "You just look so frail, and I don't want a broken Allen."

I crossed my arms, and was about to speak in protest, but Lavi put one of his fingers against my lips. "Allen, I don't want to hear a protest. Now, come lay down with me. I'll stay with you, especially since you can barely walk. If you need anything, and I mean anything, you can ask me." He walked over to where I was sitting and picked me up, then carried me over to the bed, put me down and then he flopped down next to me. "Now, Allen, I want you to relax, okay?" I tried to listen to what he was saying, but come to think of it, I was a bit tired. Within a couple minutes, I was drifting off into sleep.

Between my weird dreams, I woke up a few times, only to see that it was not yet time to wake up, and ended up falling back asleep again, Lavi either sleeping, making sure I was alright, fixing the blankets, which for some reason seemed like a hard thing to do when he did it, or whispered sweet things into my ear. All of these things, to me, were calming, and put me back to sleep. Except once.

Once, when I woke up, I couldn't fall back asleep. Lavi was sleeping, and so I watched him with a blush on my face. He was mumbling in his sleep. I didn't know what he was talking about, but that was fine with me. It's not like I didn't trust him or something. I actually don't know what was bothering me, but I felt like something was wrong, and I couldn't figure out what. After about a half hour of staring at him, I frowned. I still couldn't figure out what was wrong. Maybe it was because I was so used to cuddling against him? So used to feeling his warmth and hearing the soothing rhythm of his heartbeat, and I certainly couldn't do that if I couldn't even touch him.

And that, that was what got me thinking. He said he wouldn't touch me. He never said that I couldn't touch him. I curled my arms around him slowly, as if I were a snake that was trying to kill it's prey... except less violent. Probably less deadly, too. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at me. "Couldn't resist, huh?" He asked, and I blushed and shook my head lightly. He smiled down at me, and I finally fell back asleep.

When I woke up, and felt no warmth, I sadly noted that Lavi was not in bed with me anymore. Lavi walked in, as if on cue, and smiled at me. "Allen, sweetheart, how was your sleep? How are you feeling? Are you hung--" and my stomach rumbled, also as if on cue. I wasn't quite sure why he was so worried about me. 'I'm not... that pathetic, am I?' I shook my head; no, it couldn't be that. Then the thought came to my head. Maybe he was expecting some sort of... reward? 'I don't think Lavi's one to manipulate me like that... but, how am I supposed to know? I'm not him.' I continued in my head, then I smiled. I was about to find out.

I got out of bed slowly, then walked over and went to kiss Lavi on the cheek. "I'm fine, but let me get changed before I eat... Why don't you go wait in the kitchen? I'll be in after I get dressed and then I'll make you breakfast," I said, and smiled. I knew one of the few things that he couldn't resist was my cooking. He ran off to the kitchen, and I went to my dresser and pulled out the frilliest dress I could find. I had many dresses, as I always loved them, and I was hoping that one day they would come in handy. And this was the perfect time.

When I went into the kitchen, I could tell Lavi liked it by the buldge in his pants. I smiled at him, and his eyes widened slightly. "A-Allen, w-why are you in a dress?" Ah, I'm going to have to say that I loved the answer to that question much more than the answers to the other questions he could've asked.

I grabbed a few eggs and some bacon and layed them on the counter. Next, I got out two pans and cracked the eggs into one and put the bacon in the other. "Well, it's simple. Last night you were such a good boy, and I figured you deserved a reward. You were so kind, and carefull not to harm me. I figured it was something worthy of a reward like this, so..." I just trailed off and smiled at him, not sure what else to say.

His face turned slightly red and a smile appeared, then, he stood up and walked over to me, planting a soft kiss on my lips. "Well, I was surprised to see you walk out here in a dress, but I think I like the reward that you gave me, Allen. Yes, yes I do."

"And I like giving it to you." And that was that.

So much to say, so much to say~ First off, I'm sorry I took so long to write this. Writer's block has just been a pain in the ass. I'm sorry, guys. I am. Next, I'd like to say that there is a reference to my sister's ('s) fic, Shades. IT'S DA BOMB, ALMOST LIKE MARY-J, MICK, AXEL AND LANE, YO. Next, I'd like to say that I had this done a HALF HOUR AGO, but was being a jerk and so I had to rewrite most of it. Which is why the ending is so sucky, I always do worse when I rewrite things. Also, I'm going to try to update some more before school starts, (knowing that I'll have at least one fic up; the first chapter to Mary-J's birthday fic.) but I don't know if I can. D: Writer's block hates me! So just tell me what you want me to update next! :'D ALSO! I hope you're looking forward to the awesome that shall be one of my other new stories, along with the cowritten stories that Mary-J and I (and for one of them, Mick) came up with. Last, but certainly not least, Megan is such a sweetheart and I love her. ;w; MARY-J, IF YOU FOUND ANY MISTAKES, FEEL FREE TO TELL ME/HELP ME FIX THEM. :'D
