A/N: I just decided to post this side story since my family and I were talking about this during dinner. It was a sad topic of conversation, but it made me think of Kanda and Allen. Who would Allen pick? Just so you know, this has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STORY. :D I had to get that out of the way. Read the bottom AN for info on this story.

We were laying on the bed with the soft sound of classical music surrounding us. I intertwined our hands and wondered how perfectly they fit together, no matter how cliché that sounded.

"Allen." I looked up to see Kanda staring at me.

"Yeah?" My voice was quiet. There was no need to raise our voices when we were only a few inches away from each other.

"Let's say Mana was alive right now. If we were both going to die and you could only save one of us, who would you save?" I stopped playing with our hands and let them drop onto the bed. I looked at him confusedly and my lips pulled down into a frown.

"Why are you asking this?"

"Sorry, it was a bad question. I shouldn't have asked that, it's not right to put you on the spot like that." Kanda shook his head and looked a bit guilty. "It kind of slipped out of my mouth." This time I shook my head.

"No, it's ok. Just tell me why. Are you competing for my love or something?" I almost laughed about Kanda being jealous, but instead I just gave a small smile. He obviously caught the humour in my eyes though, since his own eyes turned a bit hard and he glared at me.

"It's not what you think." He sighed and looked at the wall behind me, then focused back on my eyes. "I was just curious. Curious about your answer." He blinked and I thought about it.

"Well, I love both of you. Mana was my foster father, he was seriously my entire life before I met you and came here. He took care of me and raised me into what I've become now." I laughed at my own corny-ness but continued. "But you, you helped me, took care of me, and saved me. Plus," I considered not saying the next part but I knew it was important. "even though I hate to say it, you're probably one of the best boyfriends anyone could wish for. Except for the killing part, that's pretty scary." I shuddered and he glared at me again, slapping me upside the head. I yelped in pain and rubbed the sore spot.

"That was," Kanda fumbled a bit with his words. "nice of you." He finally sounded out, his eyes finally softening. I smiled at him and squeezed out intertwined hands.

It looked like he was about to say something but held it back. That's when I realized I still hadn't answered the question. He was trying to be nice and not ask such an obtrusive question.

"Um...who would I save." I tapped my chin thoughtfully and he looked at me with watchful eyes.

"You don't have to answer."

"No, I will." My voice was final and I decided to give him the truth. No hard feelings. It's just the truth.

"Well." I went over my options again.

Mana was my father, an amazing one too. So kind, nice, and always helped me during rough times. Kanda is my boyfriend. He saved me, cares for me, loves me even. What can I say? I love both.

"I guess...the person I would pick," I paused for extra emphasis.

"Hurry up and answer the damn question, moyashi!" He gave me an annoyed growl.

"The person I pick is-."
