A/N: This fic was written for my friend Jillybean9223and will probably be the closest I ever come to writing Allen/Lenalee or Lavi/Lenalee. I hope she enjoys it, as it depresses me. Also, a shout out for the Link/Allen drabble collection Poetry In His Thoughts by Oceans in Hand. They are wonderful and I recommend them to anyone who loves this pairing. Also, I seem to be incapable of posting before 4:30 in the morning -_-. I hope you enjoy, if you see any spelling/grammar mistakes, please do tell me!

Lavi watched from the back of the church as the soon-to-be married couple began to exchange their wedding vows. His eye roamed over the sea of crying and happy faces laid out before him to land on one person nestled back in the far right corner. Only his face showed no emotion. The redhead headed over to the corner and the two stood a moment side by side, with not a word or look shared between them.
Finally Lavi said, "So…Link. It's been a while. I didn't expect you to come to Allen and Lenalee's wedding."
Link spared him a sidelong glance, nothing more. "I had some vacation time saved up."
Lavi fully faced the blond man beside him. "Why are you acting so strong?" he asked, completely serious for once. "You don't have to be. He's no longer around to be strong for."
The only sign that the man had heard him was a tightening around his eyes and an extra clench in his fists. His stony gaze never left the alter.
"I know he isn't Bookman, but I must be. If I do fall apart now, I fear I wouldn't be able to get back up." With that Link turned sharply on his heel and left through the side door, long braid cracking like a whip behind him.
Quietly chuckling, Lavi looked back towards the front. His mood instantly sobered upon seeing the new Mrs. Walker kissing her husband amid cheers. He slumped against the wall and sighed.
"I understand what you're saying, Inspector…" A hand came up to wipe away the moisture escaping from his exposed eye. "I know all too well."
