Ch. 5- Closer

Classes have ended successfully. They don't have anymore work to do besides observe the other students perform theirs. Allen was grateful for having to be reviewed by Lavi and Kanda about Social Studies on their way home yesterday. It was the right choice to walk with his friends rather than take a ride in their limo. Because of it, he was able to get another perfect score in their quiz. Even if he's an ace in all of his subjects, he might get low scores when he gets sick, or forget about what they've learned about.

After that time yesterday where Allen was watched over by his two guardians, the two older males became overprotective of the younger one, though Kanda would never admit it. Lavi constantly checked on Allen's temperature and condition whenever they would meet while Kanda always eyed the teen from head to toe for any sudden changes in him. The white haired boy would quickly notice this and then tell both of his friends to stop treating him like a brat or some old guy.

"Well you are an old man." Kanda smirked and then took some locks of the boy's white hair between his fingers. "Just look at this."

Allen swatted his hands away and made a pout afterwards. "It's not like I wanted it to be white from the start! I just got these trait ever since I was born."

Lavi swung an arm on Allen's shoulder and joined in the argument. "Yeah, Yu! Allen didn't mean to have these kinds of attribute." He trailed a finger down the smaller boy's left arm and then pinched his left cheek where Allen's scar was to put more emphasis.

"But you're still an old m-" Allen hit Kanda on the head with his very very thick math book before he could even finish his insult.

"What the fuck?!" The raven haired teen glared angrily as he caught the other's wrist in midair. Allen just returned the same stern look the taller male has on his face.

"Boys, can't you walk home without getting yourselves killed by each other?" Lenalee asked as she turned around and faced the pair having a glaring match.

"He started it!" Allen exclaimed and pointed a finger accusingly on Kanda. "You and your childish acts!" Kanda retorted back at him.

"Lenalee… just leave them be. It's their own way of showing their friendship," Lavi explained and put a hand on the girl's shoulder while showing a hopeless expression.

"What?!" The two shouted in unison then continued with their previous fight. Neither one backing down. "See? I told you."

"But Lavi, how come you're not acting all jealous? Shouldn't you be getting in between their fight?"

Lavi let out a small chuckle followed by a smile. "I'm just letting Yu have some time with Allen. Because sooner or later, I'll make him mine already."

Lenalee didn't know what to think of the redhead. Whether he's loving and generous, or creepy and weird. Either of them, she really wanted to know who Allen will pick between these two hot guys. People would often wonder how come she isn't dating any of her three cute and handsome friends. Simple; she'd rather watch Lavi and Kanda's progress in their relationship with Allen, rather than wanting their love

Lenalee wanted to cheer for them, but she can't decide whose side she'll take. It'll really be unfair if she gets to help one of them, while the other doesn't. Besides, whoever she may side with will truly be lucky. Since Allen trusts Lenalee with almost all of his secrets, the Chinese girl knows a lot about the boy that most people would not.

Lavi kept walking while his hands were behind his head. He was whistling all the way through, not minding the loud noises in front of Lenalee and him. Right now, they're heading to Allen's home for a sleepover. Believe it or not, but Kanda went with them. And it's always been that way for a long time now. It's like a common practice for the gang to stay over at Allen's, atleast twice or thrice a month during Fridays or whenever they aren't busy or have no classes. And today was one of those times.

When they arrived, the gates were already opened and Michaelis was just at the side, waiting for them. As soon as the group spotted him, he bowed and led them inside then, he closed the gates again. Mana had always expected them to come and so, he had asked Michaelis to prepare for their rooms. It wasn't hard to find vacant ones since the house was so spacious.

Besides that, they didn't need to bring extra clothes, because they already have a bunch of them here, still piled up in a closet. Each of them replaced their shoes with slippers which were handed to them by the butler. After slipping the footwear on, they continued going inside.

"Your house really is huge, Allen," Lenalee commented as she put her bag down on the couch, and then wandered off to look at the new pictures decorating the walls.

"I feel like I haven't been here for ages," Lavi said as flopped down beside the girl's bag.

Kanda crossed his arms and sat down on the couch, but far away from the rabbit. "Tch. Nothing seems to change though."

As soon as the group was inside the living room, Timcanpy came running down from the stairs towards them. Allen was prepared for the upcoming assault. The large dog barked and then leaped at his master. For a couple of minutes, the white haired boy was still able to hold his pet in his arms, but as moments passed, his legs gave in and they both landed on the floor. His friends watched in amusement as the dog licked Allen's face mercilessly. The boy giggled when he felt being tickled by the sensation. Lavi stared jealously at the dog while Kanda scowled. They were both thinking the same thing; I wish I was that (damn) dog instead.

Allen finally got up from his position and then dusted his clothes. He ruffled the golden dog's head and told him to entertain their guests. Timcanpy obediently followed and went to Lavi and Kanda who were sitting on the couch. As soon as he neared them, he sat and barked at the two. Lavi was the first to talk to the dog.

"I'll just go and get your clothes guys," Allen informed them then put his things down. "Will you come too Lenalee?"

"Yeah," she turned around and made to follow the younger teen. At this, Allen's butler came near them and bowed afterwards.

"Young Master, why not let me get it for you instead?" Michaelis asked.

"It's okay, you've done enough in preparing their rooms. This is nothing hard to do anyways."

Allen smiled and then led Lenalee to a hallway. When they've stopped in front of the right room, Allen held the doorknob and then twisted it open. Good thing Michaelis hadn't closed this door yet. When they've entered, the room somehow looked like a storage room but it was so clean that it was hard to think it that way. On the right corner was a huge a wardrobe. Allen came near it while Lenalee gazed around, guessing if this really was a storage room.

"This is a storage room," Allen answered clearly like he just read the girl's mind while he was searching through the clothes.

"It really is? Then why is it so…" Lenalee trailed off still staring everywhere. "Neat?" Allen finished for her.

"Both Mana and Michaelis can't stand unclean places. And so they always keep the house tidy with the maids."

"Oh, so that's why." Lenalee approached the closet as well. "Let me help you with that."

Lenalee took some of the clothes and hanged it on her shoulder. She recognized a blouse to be hers along with a skirt. Who else would it belong to? When she glanced back at Allen, she wondered why the boy had stopped so suddenly. Then she realized what the younger one was holding in his hands. Allen stretched the garment a little and then looked at Lenalee.

"Who do you suppose owns this?" Allen asked as he tried to stop blushing while holding a pair of boxers. The piece of clothing was colored with black designed with streaks of blue. Lenalee was also blushing since she was a girl, but how come Allen too? After seeing the colors of the said garment, the two had already someone in mind.

"Kanda," they both said in unison. The underwear was definitely owned by him since he likes dark colors so much.

Allen tossed the pair of boxers on his shoulder along with shirts and pants. Allen continued his search in case he found even nicer clothes better than the first. He was browsing the wardrobe when he caught eye of a garment hanging by the hook. He took it and noticed it to be another pair of boxers. Allen blushed furiously once again. If before was black with blue streaks, this one was red with green ones. No doubt about it, this is…

"Lavi's…" Lenalee looked over.

Allen closed the closet as soon as he was done while trying to forget about the boxers. Lenalee was already waiting outside the door for Allen. Once he stepped out, he called for Michaelis to tell Lenalee where her room is so she can change her uniform. The white haired boy went to the living room then tossed Lavi and Kanda's clothes at them.

"Hey! My favorite boxers!" Lavi happily exclaimed as he hugged the piece of clothing close to his chest. "I thought I've lost it somewhere in my room."

Kanda showed no expression, just a stern look plastered on his face as he got up. "Where's my room?"

"Just ask Michaelis, he'd know where it is," Allen sat down at Kanda's previous seat and played with his dog afterwards. Kanda left to change his clothes. The white haired boy continued to have fun with Timcanpy's paws then he noticed Lavi still sitting beside him, observing his every action.

"Um… aren't you going to change yet?" Allen asked in wonder.

"But I wanna change with you, Allen~" Lavi whined like a child while the other showed his evil smile.

"Do you want another slap?" Allen threatened dangerously.

"I wouldn't mind as long as it's from you." The redhead winked in return.

"Masochistic idiot…" Lavi laughed at this and then got up to go to his room.

"I was just kidding? But seriously, if you'd let me, I would really wanna see you naked in front of m- Ow!!! That hurt like hell!" Lavi rubbed the sore spot on his head after being hit with the smaller boy's extremely heavy bag. What the heck does he put in it anyway? During Fridays, their subjects weren't that many, so how come it's as heavy as a large rock?

"That's for thinking about perverted things involving me," Allen huffed and pouted at the redhead.

"I was just joking alright?" Lavi started walking towards the hallway. "But then again, groping your cute ass wouldn't be such a bad idea."

Lavi ducked for another hit aimed at him. This time, it was Allen's slipper thrown in the air. The older teen laughed as he escaped the beansprout's wrath. Allen sighed helplessly. It was no use getting rid of the stupid rabbit. He's just too persistent to put to stop so easily.

~Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~

After changing his own clothes, he went to check on his friends if they were done dressing. He passed by Lenalee and her clothes still fitted her. Lavi was also done, he opened the door the moment he heard Allen call his name. When Allen asked Lavi if his outfit still suited him, the redhead made several sexy poses and attempted to seduce the younger boy.

"I'll take that as a yes," Allen answered and slammed the door shut in front of the redhead, earning a pitiful yelp inside the room.

The only one left now is Kanda. What's taking him so long? Allen thought to himself. He knocked several times on his door but no answer came. He knocked once again, this time with a loud beat, still, no response. "KANDA!"

After Allen shouted the raven haired teen's name, the door slowly opened and revealed a half-naked Yu Kanda. The smaller boy quickly covered his eyes while trying to stop blushing. Kanda blinked and then asked a simple "What?"

"Y-Your clothes Kanda…Your c-clothes…" Allen stuttered as he pointed a finger at the said man's bare chest while still shielding his eyes from this so-called 'sin'.

"What about it?"

"Put some on you idiot!" Allen shouted then turned around.

"That's the damn problem here. I can't fucking put them on."

"H-How come?" Allen tried his best not to seem embarassed but miserably failed.

"They don't fit me anymore."

"Oh, so that's why." Allen turned around and had completely forgotten about the 'half-naked issue'. He grabbed the shirt that Kanda was holding and observed it. Indeed, it was small for the taller man's size. But this could suit Allen somehow.

"Wait here," he instructed then quickly ran back to the room where the wardrobe was found, Kanda's previous clothing in hand.

A couple of minutes later, Allen came back with a new shirt. This one would definitely fit him because when he tried wearing it, it was quite large for him. "Put this on." He handed the older teen his clothes with a smile which the other accepted without a word. When Kanda was putting his arm in the armhole, Allen remembered why he was so embarassed to even look at the taller male in front of him. His smile quickly faded and then he covered his (innocent) eyes once again. Kanda noticed this as soon as he was finished putting his new clothing on. The beansprout's acting weird again.

"Oi, quit gawking at me will you?"

"What!? I'm not even looking at you!" Allen tried to defend himself.

"Really? Then why're you peaking through here?" Kanda inserted a finger between Allen's slightly parted ones making the smaller boy gasp and close his eyes.

Allen felt his chin being lifted up slowly. When he opened his eyes once more, a pair of black orbs was staring at him. Kanda pushed him towards the wall, and had leaned to get a closer contact between them. Allen wanted to run because he knew what would happen next if he can't get out of this situation.

But with each passing thought he made, the shorter the distance their lips were. His mind tried to tell him to escape but his body wouldn't even budge. It's like Kanda kept control over him with his mere stare. Allen shut his eyes closed, as if anticipating for the other's next move.

He started counting one to ten, yet nothing happened. He waited a little longer still, no warm feeling on his lips. He opened his eyes once more to look at the taller man's own. Allen stared at him confused and questioning. Why aren't you doing anything?

"Are you not going to kiss me?"

"I wouldn't without your permission."

"You're such a gentleman," Allen said sarcastically. "Then why did you do that last time?"

"To prove to you that I'm damn serious about you."

Allen just continued to stare at the other's handsome features. Kanda didn't seem to mind though.

"Well, do you want me to?" the raven haired teen asked.

"I… don't know," Allen answered hesitantly while Kanda showed his infamous smirk.

"Your face says it all; that you've been dying to get a taste of me again."

"Hey! Don't be so full of yourse-" Kanda silenced him with his lips pressed against the moyashi's.

He slipped his tongue between Allen's parted lips and into his wet and warm mouth when the boy was too shocked to even respond. He pulled the younger one's head closer to him to deepen their kiss. Allen's tongue constantly brushed against the other's. The feeling wasn't new but he felt really good because of it. He wanted more. He needed more.

Kanda began sucking on the smaller boy's lower lip. After enjoying the taste, he made his way down Allen's slender neck. The seductive part he yearned to kiss mercilessly before. He nipped and bit lightly on the pale flesh earning a low moan from the other. He made gentle kisses from his neck to his shoulder blades. Allen clutched tightly on the sleeve of Kanda's shirt.

They stayed that way for a while then Allen felt something furry on his leg. The fuzzy feeling moved and encircled them, he knew Kanda also felt it because the older teen became slow in his moves. Neither of them put their attention on it until a bark sounded from below. Kanda paused and looked down the same as Allen.

"Timcanpy! How long have you been here!?" The dog ran away when he was seen, Allen panicked a little.

"It doesn't matter. He can't talk anyway." Kanda said as he fixed himself.

"But what if he showed what we were doing to the others?"

"What, like some kind of charades or something?" Kanda looked at him disbelievingly while Allen sighed and let his thoughts go.

"That dog's gotta pay for interrupting," Kanda snarled angrily and cracked his knuckles.

~Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~

Tim just has to interrupt ne?

Oh, don't worry about him. He won't get beaten up by Kanda. Allen-chan's there to the rescue!

Sorry for the typos and somewhat short length.

Once again, please review~
