Ch. 9- Bleeding Love
Wednesday; the second day of the Cultural Festival and the day that Allen's friend will come and visit. This friend of his called him again just this morning and told him to pick him up at the gates later. They haven't been able to see nor talk to each other lately, so Allen became really happy that his friend was the one to ask if he could go to his school.
Allen glanced at the grandfather clock at the living room. "It's already 07:49?! Yu and the others might be at school already."
The white haired teen called for his butler, "Michaelis, may I ask you to start the car and take it out of the garage? If I don't get to school fast, Yu will be mad at me."
"I have already done that a bit earlier, seeing that you will need me to drive you to the Black Order. Now we just have to go, young master." The butler bowed then gestured his hands towards the door.
Allen felt tears swell up in his eyes. He's really thankful for having a very reliable butler. "Thank you." They both hurried to the limousine.
While they were on their way to the school, Allen's phone began ringing. He was shocked to hear this ringtone because he didn't really imagine that this guy would go out of his way just to text or call him. Since before, he would only do that in times that serve a purpose for him, which he considers none. Allen pressed the answer button.
"Yu?"
Then again, Kanda is his boyfriend. The raven haired teen would totally do a lot, or anything to be more precise, just for his beloved beansprout.
"Where are you? Why aren't you at school yet?" the reply came from the other end of the line. Kanda is masking his worry with his usual arrogant tone yet, Allen knows.
"I am on my way now. Michaelis is driving me to school."
"Then what took you so long? You've never been this late before."
"I got a phone call from a close friend so I was not able to get ready quickly for school."
Allen heard Kanda 'Tch' on the other end.
"Just get here fast and safe."
"I will, Yu." Then there was a beeping sound. The call had ended.
"Michaelis," Allen called, flipping his phone shut. "Yu wants us to get there fast, may you speed up the pace?"
"With pleasure, Young Master," the butler answered, stepping onto the pedal.

"Allen!" Lenalee ran up to her white haired friend. "We were worried you ran into some kind of trouble. Why were you so late?"
Lenalee put her hands on her hips, an eyebrow arched at the boy.
"I'm sorry guys," Allen started while rubbing the back of his neck. "A friend of mine called me this morning. We had a long chat and I was not able to tell what time it is."
"Shouldn't he be calling last night, and not this morning? Doesn't he know you have to go to school?" Lavi asked. The redhead does have a point.
"Whoever that is, he's an idiot for not remembering today is Wednesday." Kanda crossed his arms, scowling.
"Let's go before the morning assembly starts, students might already be lined up at the coliseum," Lenalee announced. She pulled Allen's arm and dragged him towards the assembly area. Kanda and Lavi followed behind, it was only two minutes before eight o'clock.
Moments later, the assembly was finished. Just like yesterday, after this, students may enjoy the festival. Four people stayed at the side while students and teachers exit the coliseum. Allen grabbed his bag and gave it to Kanda. "Please take care of this first while I'm gone." Kanda wore the body bag without any complain but he asked, "Hey, where are you going?" His voice still sounding arrogant. "I just have to do something important," Allen replied with a smile.
"I'll be back later." He assured them that it won't take long before he returns. Allen waved a hand at his friends, not informing them where he'll go. But Lavi already had the idea where he's off to.
"Okay, time for me to pick up Tyki at the front gates."
~Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~
"Allen! Long time no see!" The curly haired man quickly pulled the younger boy into a hug.
"Tyki! I haven't heard from you until this morning!" Allen nuzzled into his friend's chest.
"Neither did I." Tyki pulled back a little to observe the boy. "I see you're still as beautiful and not as tall as ever."
Allen blushed, and then he crossed his arms, pouting. "Well excuse me for being short then."
Tyki chuckled, ruffling the younger male's hair. The pout on Allen's face still not fading. "I was just kidding. I didn't really mean it to sound like that." The dark skinned man leaned a little lower until they were at eye level. Allen finally gave up, he smiled at Tyki afterwards.
"Alright then. By the way, Road told me yesterday that she'll hang out with you later," Allen said, placing his fist on top of his palm.
"I know she's always okay but, how'd you get to meet her here?"
"We're the best of friends in class."
"In class?" Tyki asked, rubbing his chin with his thumb and index finger. "Road's your classmate?"
"And seatmate," Allen added.
"I didn't know. All she ever says when she talks to me is how cute and adorable you are. I'm becoming jealous since you've been much closer to her than me." Tyki smirked a little.
Allen blushed furiously this time. He didn't know if it really was Road who was saying those things about him. "Well she is fond and attached to me," the white haired boy retorted. "Come, I'll introduce you to my best friends and boyfriend."
Tyki, who was ready to go, stopped in his tracks after hearing the last person. "Boyfriend?!" shock obviously present in his tone.
~Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~
"This is Tyki Mikk, a friend of mine whom I've met in a casino when I played poker ther-"
"Wait," Lavi interrupted. "Do you mean the time when you won loads of cash?"
"I always win a lot but, yes," Allen answered his friend first before continuing. "As I was saying, we've known each other for quite a long time now. Mana also knows Tyki because he has worked for his family's company in the past." Allen smiled at his friends after introducing the new person.
"A pleasure to meet you all." He bowed politely. "Now will you introduce yourselves too?"
Lavi was the first to speak. "Name's Lavi Bookman, I'm a senior here and also the Student Council's Treasurer. I'm one heck of a genius if you must know."
Lenalee smiled when it was her turn. "I'm Lenalee Lee, a junior here. I'm the Student Council's Secretary. I serve as the referee here when these boys fight, but I really adore watching them. "
There was total silence afterwards. All faces turned to look at the remaining person who has yet to speak. Kanda just glared, he hated talking to strangers. "Yu?" Allen asked, expecting him to talk.
Kanda sighed. "Che, Yu Kanda, a senior and the SC's Vice President. I'm also Moyashi's boyfriend," he mentioned the last part with a louder and clearer voice.
"Moyashi? Boyfriend?"
Tyki blinked.
"You're his boyfriend?!" the man took a closer look at the other's features. "Got a fucking problem?" Kanda retorted.
Tyki winced visibly. "You may look handsome but your mouth uses such profane words." He turned to look at Allen. "And you're fine with that?"
The boy just shrugged his shoulders a bit then smiled. "It's okay Tyki, I'm already used to it anyway. Yu just doesn't know how to act nice around others." The white haired boy latched onto his lover's arm, giggling.
Tyki rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming right up. "There must be a good reason for you to pick him," he started. "What, he blackmailed you? Threatened you or something? If so, may I punch him right now?"
"You son of a-" Kanda stopped his cursing as a hand had stopped in front of his face. "Tyki! How could you say that? Of course it's because we love each other." Allen tried his best to frown and glare hard, but only ended up looking like a pout. He loves Kanda and he wouldn't let another insult their relationship even if it's a friend of his.
"Okay, I'm sorry..." Tyki averted his gaze somewhere else.
The raven haired teen kept scowling but made no move to protest against the physical contact of his beansprout. Tyki couldn't believe his eyes, of all the people Allen would choose as his lover, why him? Why an ill-mannered person (yet handsome and hot)? The man decided, he wouldn't let some punk take Allen just like that. He would observe the two even if it meant having a whole-day or even three-day off from work.
"Allen," Tyki called, making the said boy turn his attention to him. "You'll be going with your friends right? May I come with you?"
"But Road said-"
"You did promise me you'll tour me around the Black Order, am I correct? I'll just tell her we can hang out tomorrow." Tyki smirked evilly at Kanda.
"Um yes, so... let's go?" Allen turned to look at his other friends. Lavi and Lenalee nodded at him as they smiled.
Kanda and Allen walked ahead of the group since Tyki had requested that his white haired friend tour him around. Lavi sighed, another antagonist has been added to his (love) life. How will he make his move to be closer to Allen if there's this guy over here keeping watch? The redhead decided, he would pause pursuing Allen just for today, or this week if Tyki would still come. He wouldn't wanna be included in the curly haired man's wanted list, unlike Kanda who was probably the first person listed there now.
~Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~
"Are you hungry?" Kanda asked, looking around for familiar food stands. It wasn't hard to find them since almost anywhere you look, there's one. Instead of Allen speaking, his stomach growled in response to the raven haired teen. Their other friends also looked around for a nice stand to buy food.
"Hey Yu, what about that one?" Lavi pointed at a hot dog stand. In Allen's eyes, any place would be nice to buy food for his starving tummy. Kanda nodded once and gently pulled his beansprout towards the stand.
"I'll treat you guys," Tyki announced to them as he began pulling out cash from his thick wallet. And was that Allen's picture posted there? Tyki had purposely shown the white haired boy's cute picture to Kanda, making the teen glare at him and grit his teeth.
"Woah, really? Thanks!" Lavi happily accepted.
"Are you sure its fine? We can buy our own you know?" Lenalee asked, it wasn't her attitude to just let others pay for her own expense.
"Nonsense, friends of Allen are also friends of mine, even if it includes that one over there. " Tyki pointed at the oldest of the teens.
"Don't include us. I'll pay for our food," Kanda said sternly. Tyki twitched at him. What's with this guy? I'm paying already and he's still being so stubborn, Tyki thought.
The curly haired man bought a hot dog sandwich for each of them, while Kanda bought a foot long hot dog for Allen and him. The five people sat at the nearby benches. They all began eating while the lovers ate on the ends of their sandwich.
A while later, Tyki glanced at Allen and the creature who were almost done eating. Yes, almost done because their lips are just centimeters apart because the foot long hot dog is decreasing in its length. The tanned man thought he had to act fast before their lips would touch. He quickly got a knife from the hot dog stand and cut the foot long in half, surprising the two who were eating it.
"What the fuck? Why the hell did you do that for?" Kanda stood up, anger rising up rapidly.
"I wouldn't want my precious Allen to have germs," Tyki answered coolly.
Kanda was about ready to strike when Allen tugged at his sleeve to stop. "Tyki please, there is nothing wrong about it."
"Nothing wrong? You're about to kiss." The man kept his voice low while Lavi and Lenalee is watching the scene before them.
"Um, he's my boyfriend. Is it not natural for that to be okay? And besides, we're just eating," Allen replied, eating the last part of his foot long afterwards.
Tyki glared hard on the smirking teen beside Allen.
"One more complain or interruption from you and I'll totally send you back to where you came from," Kanda threatened, a dangerous aura emitting from him.
"Yu, don't say things like that to Tyki. He is still one of my important friends," Allen gazed at his lover. It was Tyki's turn to smirk, and Kanda's turn to glare.
"Che, he's more like your annoying friend," he muttered.
Lavi and Lenalee felt like it was time to stop this and go somewhere fun. They looked at each other and nodded their heads. Lavi clapped his hands twice to call their attention. "Okay guys, why don't we head to the booths our schoolmates have prepared?" Lavi suggested, ending the argument from before.
"How about the Horror booth?" Lenalee suggested next. "I heard that the seniors are the one who organized this one."
"Then let's go!" Allen exclaimed excitedly, pulling both the hands of Kanda and Tyki dragging them to their destination. Then, he stopped walking and turned to look at Lavi from behind.
"Where's the horror booth again?" Allen asked, a silly smile on his face. Kanda sighed at him. "Idiot Beansprout." Allen just pouted.
Tyki and the other two chuckled, feeling that their friend is hopeless when it comes to directions. "Well excuse me for my bad sense of direction but I just wanted to get there fast."
"The way you're going, you're only making us farther from the booth," Lavi informed.
Allen's eyes widened after hearing him. "Why did you not tell me earlier?"
"I thought you would've realized it sooner or later." The redhead shrugged.
~Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~ Laven~Yullen~
"This really is scary," Lavi commented, looking everywhere. Cobwebs were hanging around, only dim lights could be seen that are from the candles, black curtains covering the sides, ghouls and ghosts just waiting for them to arrive before they scare them. A mysterious thing suddenly popped up and he hit it out of shock. "But not enough to scare me."
Allen looked around too, he clutched Kanda's arm tightly as they walked through the large classroom which was used for the horror booth. Tyki kept his look on the raven haired teen, watching him if he tries anything suspicious. Kanda ignored the man and stayed close to his beansprout, calming him. Lenalee showed no terrified reaction instead, she just kept on smiling.
Lavi was confused. "Geez Lenalee, you're a girl aren't you? How come you're not scared? Just look at Allen! He's like a lost child just walking around here," Lavi said to the short haired girl beside him.
"I've watched too many horror films, things like this only surprises me when objects suddenly pop out."
And thus, a ghost started crawling towards them, its hand reaching out to grab their foot. The white haired boy almost shrieked like a girl due to surprise and/or horror. Kanda glared hard on the form. They noticed how the ghost stopped what it was previously doing. Then they continued walking, Lenalee, not noticing the ghost's hand still reached out, stepped on it and earned a yelp from the form. The ghost quickly retreated.
"Oops, sorry." The girl blinked at the darkness that surrounded them afterwards.
Tyki pulled out a cigarette along with his lighter. When Allen caught sight of this, he quickly scolded him, "Tyki!" Allen put his hands on his hips. "Did I not tell you not to smoke anymore? And it is also prohibited to smoke within school grounds."
"Well I did stop when you told me before, but since I didn't get to talk to you, I might've forgotten about that." Tyki put the cigarette in his mouth and prepared to light it, only to be stopped by a very strong arm.
"The Moyashi said no so don't." Kanda kept a firm hold on the taller man. For a moment, Tyki and Kanda were locked in each other's glare. Then the older man broke it off.
"I'll just use this as our light then."
As soon as he lighted it, they noticed that a coffin was placed just beside them. Lavi, being curious as always, knocked on it three times. When nothing happened, he knocked on it again. This time, with a continuous beat.
"Nothing seems to be in it," the redhead said, his hands behind his head. When the group started walking away, they heard a creaking noise from somewhere.
"What was that?" Allen asked Kanda, still clinging close to him. Tyki had turned his lighter off so that it won't distract the other students in the horror booth. The room was like a maze so they still haven't met up with other people.
"Tch, probably just another stupid ghost trying to crawl here," Kanda replied looking at the back.
Then another creaking sound was heard. This time, it was much louder and it was finally clear where it came from. When Lavi turned around to glance at the coffin, he saw that there was a lighted candle, illuminating the large case beside it.
"Hey guys look!" He pointed towards the coffin. "Its open!" he exclaimed happily. "I wonder what got out!"
Lenalee and Lavi checked it out while Tyki looked around, trying to find anything that might've been from the large case. Allen wanted to go with them but he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He thought it was Kanda because it felt big and somewhat cold as him.
"Yu, we could hold hands instead if you... would... like..."
"Allen," the raven haired teen whispered. "What's wrong?"
Kanda noticed that the younger boy was looking at his hands. One was in his pocket while the other was encircling Allen's hand. "What?"
"I-If your hands are both there... then whose is this?" Allen pointed to the hand laid on top of his shoulder without looking, afraid of what he'll see next.
The older male gazed at where he's pointing and realized that another creature had come to scare them, a zombie looking one. "Don't look," Kanda warned Allen. "Let's just continue walking," he made his voice louder to alert the others. He didn't want Allen to know that a zombie has been beside him all this time.
"Wow Allen! Look at your companion!" Lavi pointed somewhere near him. Kanda wanted to drag a hand down his face exasperatedly. I'm really gonna kill this damn rabbit later. And just as Allen was told, he looked at his so called 'companion' because curiosity also got the better of him. The younger boy fainted after seeing the hideous looking zombie. Lenalee wondered who did the make up for the creatures here because they weren't wearing masks and it looked so real.
Before Allen could fall on the ground Tyki had grabbed the boy and lifted him into his arms. Kanda was surprised, though he did not show it, of the speed the man has. The place where Tyki and the others were quite far away from them, how did he not even notice him approaching? He felt jealous that someone else had saved and carried his moyashi instead of him. But he'll let it off, this was an emergency anyway.
"Sorry if I got to him first. Its just my instincts," Tyki faced Kanda, his tone sounding mellow. "We should bring him to the infirmary first." Tyki walked back to the path they came from since its the nearest exit, and a student was there guarding. The zombie bowed in apology then left.
The three followed shortly after, remaining quiet. Kanda caught Tyki kissing the still unconscious Allen on the forehead. His hands curled into a fist, he still had control over himself though. Kanda didn't speak but he had been thinking about Tyki. Who the hell is that Tyki Mikk? I'm not gonna let him get in between us anymore.
