The Past

The past is something that's a part of me.

It's keeping me alive.

I know that I shouldn't look back, but I do, I see the lies.

The past includes the future. Its weird I know but true.

The past is something I hold dear, but what is it to you?

Allen's Point of View

I was sitting at work writing again. When I think of something to write I just have to write it down. Once its on paper, I usually forget it. I don't even know how I came up with that poem just now.

I guess it was because I was thinking about Kanda. The tattoo he had gotten must have meant something to him. I wanted to ask him about it but I was afraid. Afraid he would leave me if he knew where I worked.

I was afraid of being alone. I heard the door open and I looked up from my notebook. "Hey Fou." I said smiling. "Hey Doll. What's wrong?" I sighed. She was one of the one's that could see through my mask.

"Kanda. He came in and got a tattoo of a Lotus flower. I don't know what it means." Fou nodded. "I think you should just tell him where you work. I think he'll understand." I sighed and rested my head on the desk.

"I have and idea! Just a second." Fou said, looking around and then grabbing my cell phone. "Fou! What are you doing?!" I said, scrambling to grab my phone. She smiled wickedly at me and showed me the phone.

She had pulled up Kanda's phone number. I tried to grab the phone from her but she dodged me. "I'll fire you if you touch me!" She yelled, and I stopped short. She smiled at me and put the phone to her ear.

Here's the conversation between them…(Bold is Kanda and Italic is Fou.)

"Hello?"

"Hi I'm Allen's boss Fou."

"Okay. What do you want? Did something happen?" Kanda sounded slightly panicked.

"Oh no he's fine. Sorta. Anyways. Would you come to his work? He's a bit afraid that you'll leave him if you know where he works." There was a pause.

"Alright. Where do I go?"

"Where you got your tattoo."

Then she hung up. I glared at her. "What the heck do you mean by "Come to his work." I said, grabbing my phone and closing it. "Oh nothing. He'll be here in fifth-teen or less." She said, smiling and walking away.

"Crap, Crap, crap I hate my life." I thought to myself as I sat back down at the desk. 15 minutes later...

I had my head in my hands when I heard the door open. I groaned and looked up, seeing a handsome man with long hair.
"Hey Kanda." I said, looking down.

"Allen. Why did you think I would leave you?" I gulped. "I guess I'm just afraid you would leave me alone. I'm not even sure why." He smiled at me and came closer, wrapping his arms around me.

"You don't need to worry about me leaving. I promise to always be with you, whether here in person or in your heart." He said, kissing me gently.

"Awww. You guys are so cute!" I blushed and buried my head in Kanda's shoulder. "Hi you must be Allen's boyfriend Kanda. His descriptions didn't do you justice." Fou said smiling at Kanda.

Kanda smirked at me and said "So you talk about me?" I stuck my tounge out at him. "Whatever. Kanda this is my boss Fou and Fou this is my boyfriend Kanda." They shook hands and Fou smiled.

"I told you so Allen." Then she walked away. "What was that about?" Kanda said, turning towards me. "Oh nothing. So now that you're here do you want to stay a little bit? I'm almost out of work."

He nodded and pulled up a chair. "So you were the one who gave me my tattoo?" He asked, smirking. "Yes. I've been meaning to ask about it, Why did you get a Lotus flower?"

His expression changed slightly. "I...made a promise to my little sister Natalie." I brightened. "You have a sister?!" He smiled sadly at me. "No. She died of Cancer a few years ago."

"She was about 12 years old when she died. I was about 15. She said this to me. "Hey big brother? Will you keep my Lotus flower alive somehow? Remember me okay?" Then she smiled and closed her eyes. That was the last time I saw my parents."

He looked so sad. I smiled softly at him and wrapped my arms around him. "I understand. I got a tattoo for my foster father Mana." He smiled at me and kissed me gently. "Where is it?"

I smirked at him. "I guess you'll have to find out later.

Later at Kanda's House...

"So its later." I said backing Kanda into a wall. "True." He said, leaning down and kissing me. He picked me up bridal style and laid me down on the couch, kissing up my neck and across my jaw.

I fisted my hands in his hair, pulling him closer to me. I slipped my hands under his shirt, running my hands across his stomach. Kanda pulled back and smirked at me. "Someone's eager."

To answer that I reached up and pulled his shirt over his head. "Shut up and kiss me." I smashed my mouth to his, flipping us over so I was on top. I leaned sown and kissed across his new tattoo.

Just to be mean, I flicked my tounge across it. He groaned and grabbed my waist. "Mmmmh that new tattoo makes you look hot." I said as I kissed sown his stomach.

Then I was being flipped over and Kanda was tugging my shirt over my head. "My turn." He growled, kissing down my chest. The scars on my chest had almost disappeared, but they would still remind me of my past.

Then there was a banging on the front door. "Yuuuuu-channnn! Are you home?! I'm coming in!" Kanda growled. I smiled evilly. "Let him see us. Who cares?" Kanda smirked at me and leaned down, tracing my tattoo with his tounge.

Lavi's Point of View...

"Yuuuu-channnn! Are you home?! I'm coming in!" I heard a growl and smiled. Then I walked in. What I saw will never be unseen. I felt my nose start to gush blood. Then I passed out...

Allen's Point of View...

"I suppose we have to clean up." I said, looking down at Lavi's bleeding face. "Che whatever." Kanda said, crossing his arms over his bare chest...

Tattoo's

Tattoos mean something.

Something good or something bad.

Tattoos give you attitude, sometimes make you sad.

Tattoos are just memories, all spelled out in ink.

Hey guys! How's the chapter? What is Allen's tattoo? I think this chapter is one of my favorites. :) Review!
