Author's Notes: Eleven days has passed since I posted the first chapter of my first ever Yullen story. But before I deliver this fresh-from-the-oven second chapter to you, I would like to address some of the reviews for general information. :)

First, I use inverted commas or single quotation marks because I'm trying to follow the British English rules. I hope you guys don't mind. :D

Second, about Allen being not familiar with the word 'moyashi', I've actually given it a thought before if it would be awkward to write that since they're in Japan and they speak Nihongo, but then I thought I wanted to show everyone that he's despite being already nearly proficient in the language, he's only been in Japan for such a short time, like months. So even if he has encountered the term before, since Allen doesn't eat it on a daily basis, he has probably forgotten that bean sprout in Nihongo is 'moyashi', his precious nickname. 3

Here's the second chapter mates! Saa... douzo!

Thankfully for Allen, time had flown fast and now it was already lunch. The moment the teacher had left the room, Allen had quickly left as well in order to get the school cafeteria while it still wasn't too crowded. He was now squeezed in a long queue of starving students waiting to be attended to.

'Ah Allen dear~!'

'Hello! Jeryy-san.' said Allen cheerfully to the eccentric looking chef of the school cafeteria.

'You're still cute as always Allen-chan! So, what are you going to have today?' Jeryy said while pinching Allen's cheek.

'Actually, I'm just getting a melon bread.'

Jeryy's outburst of disapproval of Allen's lunch was heard all over the cafeteria, making every student pause to turn and look for the commotion. Now the whole school knew that Allen would die of starvation because his lunch only consisted of melon bread, and that Jeryy was doting on him.

'Oh! He's only gettin' a melon bread? I heard he's got monstrous appetite!'

'Eh? Who are you talking about, Lavi?', Lenalee asked as she followed Lavi's gaze, 'Are you talking about Walker-kun?'

Lavi nodded, eyes still locked on the white-haired freshman.

'You know, something actually-'

'Uwah! Yuu-chan, you didn't even wait for me! That's cruel!' Lavi yelled indignantly and slumped on the chair beside Lenalee and opposite of Yu, who had already started with his meal.

Yu slowly looked up from his meal to snarl at Lavi, 'Shut it, Baka Usagi!' and quickly returned to eat his tonkatsu in peace.

Lavi just shrugged and turned back to Lenalee instead.

'You were saying?'

Lenalee rolled her eyes and sighed. She was already daintily opening her bentou.

'I think you have a short-attention span Lavi. Anyway as I was saying,' Lenalee said in a slightly higher pitch preventing Lavi from cutting her off again when she saw he was about to interrupt her, 'something actually happened earlier in our class involving Walker-kun.'

Lavi enthusiastically started with his mapo tofu meal while eagerly waiting for Lenalee to continue with her story.

'Aha. What happened to the boy?'

'Well, the guy in our class Matsumoto, your kouhai in basketball club, poured juice all over him this morning. I threatened the whole class to stop bullying Walker-kun or else I'll report them to the principal, but he said to cut it out and to not make enemies with my classmates just because of him.' Lenalee sighed.

'That Matsumoto's always a rude little shit! He thinks he's all high and mighty but he can't even properly execute a lay up to save his life.' Lavi snarled.

Lenalee only sadly looked at him and huffed. She took a small bite on her tamagoyaki and slowly chewed, contemplating.

On the corner of his eyes though, Lavi saw Yu sneakily gazing at Walker who was making his way out of the cafeteria, which was intriguing because Yu never really showed interest in anything he and Lenalee chatted about, or in rumours. He snickered.

'What is it?' Lenalee asked, snapping out of her trance.

'Nothing don't mind me.' Lavi continued to snicker which earned him bewildered stares (in Yu's case, a bewildered scowl) from his meal-time mates so he quickly cut it out and cleared his throat. 'Back to the topic. I don't understand why's he getting bullied. He seems such a nice kid to me. Too polite.'

'He's a real gentleman, like a prince in fairy tales. It started during his first day here. Classes have long since started so everyone had already formed their own little cliques. Matsumoto and his friends attempted to make a small talk with Walker-kun during break but then they got too interested in his gloved hands. Walker-kun politely brushed off the topic but the idiots wouldn't give it a rest.' said Lenalee. She momentarily stopped to drink water and chew her food properly.

'I assume the three idiots did something to offend the little guy.' said Lavi with a grim smirk. He was starting to attack his bowl like the food had personally offended him. Then he saw Yu grimaced at him; he immediately stopped.

'Indeed. They sneaked up on Walker-kun and forcibly removed the gloves on his hands.' said Lenalee. She looked around them first before she continued her narration with much lower voice, 'It was then when the whole class saw his left arm. Those guys obviously have the same brain as with a chicken and so they pestered him about it and well, Walker-kun must've probably snapped by then because next thing we knew he was already insulting them in English but I couldn't really understand since he has a thick British accent and he spoke too quickly. But by the sound of it they weren't at all the pleasant.'

Lavi gaped at Lenalee and laughed. 'Wow! That must've been quite a scene, eh? Wish I was there.' he said. Then he turned to Yu who was also keenly listening to Lenalee, his hand holding the chopsticks in midair.

'What?' he snarled at Lavi when he noticed he was openly being stared at.

'You're also interested in that Walker kid, I see. You rarely care about stories like this, Yu.' Lavi answered cheerfully, taking a spoonful of his meal.

'Fuck off.' Yu retorted rolling his eyes but did not deny what Lavi had accused him of.

'So what happened after that, Lenalady? I still don't quite understand how the rumours started.'

Lenalee looked at Lavi and Yu solemnly before she proceeded, 'Well, the class must've been surprised that Walker-kun would actually dare to retaliate since he's a transferee and a complete foreigner with peculiar looks. Matsumoto spread the rumour that he's a cursed kid because of his left arm and made childish pranks around him to make it seem like Walker-kun's a harbringer of bad luck. Others insult him now just to join the bandwagon. You know how much of a simpleton most of the students these days are.' she finished, slightly fuming.

'Whoa! Whoah! Lenalady calm down. You're practically livid.' said Lavi as he stared at Lenalee gulp down her water quite unlady-likely.

'Hn. So that kid doesn't take his bullying quietly with a happy face.' said Yu nonchalantly, finishing his last ebi tempura in a bite.

'No, I don't think so. He's being a gentleman most of the time and endures most of the mockery but when push comes to shove, he knows how to bite.' said Lenalee chuckling.

'I think he's pretty fun, that Walker kid. I'd be friends with him in a heart beat.' said Lavi.

Lenalee nodded as her reply. Yu only sipped his carton of tea. Lavi then continued to ravish his meal in silence, his thoughts filled with a certain white-haired student with peculiar looks.

'Hah!' Allen sighed at his melon bread, feeling downhearted that he would only eat a single piece of bread for lunch when he had a living monster residing in his stomach. He reached the vending machine outside of the school building then he rummaged in his pocket for some yen.

'Strawberry milk? Tea? Which one should I buy?' said Allen pondering in front of the vending machine of drinks.

Allen had inserted yen coins into the slot when arm draped around his shoulders, he caught a whiff of disgusting cinnamon scent, and the person pressed the button for coffee. Instantly, he felt his own body tremble from anger when he faced the person who bent to get the can of coffee and drank it in few gulps.

'Thanks for the treat, freak.'

Bloody fucker.

'Oh, what a pleasant surprise, Matsumoto, Hayakawa, Abe,' Allen said sweetly, his voice sounded sickening even to him, 'but then I wonder why am I not surprised?'

'You might want to keep your mouth shut, Akuma, or you'd find my fist shoved in your mouth!'Matsumoto threatened in a nasty growl.

'Oh dear, I certainly do not want that. The only thing I want in my mouth right now is my melon bread, thank you very much. Now, I'll leave you alone once I got my money back.' Allen said. His voice had gone colder, but his lips were still stretched in a smile, 'So please return it to me.'

'Oooh!' Matsumoto taunted, his lackeys snickered stupidly, 'Now I'm scared-'

'MATSU-CHAN!' someone from behind them called in a singsong voice, then suddenly, a tall (probably a senior) student, sporting a messy, bright crimson red hair arrived at the scene, slumped his body weight on Matsumoto and pulled him in a one-sided hug.

'Bookman...' Matsumoto greeted, sounding completely disheartened, 'senpai. Yo.'

The other two, Abe and Hayakawa, Allen observed from the corner of his eyes, took a few steps back seemingly wanting to blend with the wall. He wanted to laugh gleefully. The idiots resembled a cat being cornered by a huge, growling dog.

'What're ya doin' here eh?' the red-haired senpai asked in Osaka accent, tugging Matsumoto closer to him.

'Nothing. Nothing in particular senpai.' said Matsumoto in a strained voice. He was trying to wriggle out of the senpai's 'hug'.

'Hmm. Is that so?' said the senpai. Then he spotted the coffee can in Matsumoto's hand, 'Oy, I also want a drink.'

'Eh?'

'Give me ¥150 already. I'm thirsty, hm.' the senpai said with a hint of menace.

Allen wondered if he was also in danger.

'B-but...'

'Cough up the money already or it's 10 laps for you at the school grounds.'

'I-I understand.' Matsumoto said fumbling on his wallet for the coins,'Here, Bookman-senpai.'

'"Good boy."' the senpai said, pleased. 'Now, scram!'

And the three little idiots flew away like they caught fire on their butts. Allen blinked several times before he slowly turned to the senpai looking at him grinning.

'Yo!' the senpai greeted.

Allen uncertainly bowed his head in reply.

'So those guys were bullying you?' the senpai asked while inserting the money he got from Matsumoto earlier into the slot.

'A little bit. But it was nothing I couldn't handle.' Allen replied meekly. He saw the him press the button for strawberry milk before he chanced a glance at the senpai's eyes; they were green, he perceived.

'Hmm...' was the senpai's only respond. He was busy rummaging his pocket. Then he inserted another ¥150 into the slot and bought mixed juice.

Is he going to drink both?

Allen's question to himself was answered by the senpai when he offered the strawberry juice to of his brows raised in question.

'Take it. Consider it a gift or something.' the senpai said as he winked, 'I'm Lavi Bookman by the way. Lavi's fine. Everybody calls me that.' Lavi introduced. His eyes were twinkling.

Allen reluctantly but graciously took the offered drink and bowed his head.

'Thank you very much.' he said, feeling self-conscious. He could feel his stare at him, 'Oh, I'm-'

'Oh! This is bad! I gotta get goin'! Yu might strangle me to death for making him wait for so long.' Lavi said hurriedly. Then he started to run for the door, 'See ya later Allen-chan!'

And he was gone as quickly as he came.

Allen-chan? Do I look like a girl? Allen scratched his head feeling confused when he suddenly realized something:

'Didn't he just return my money to me?' he asked himself incredulously and loudly, gaping at the strawberry milk in his hand.

Allen looked back at the door where Lavi had disappeared into and back at drink. He then happily punched in the straw and sipped the drink in content. He vaguely wondered why it was twice as delicious today than usual as he went back inside the school building with a light spring on his every step.

I'll thank him properly when I see him next time. That Lavi-senpai.
