He did not know what happened. After the fight, things had been sort of blur to him. One moment, Allen had been feeling alright and then the next, he felt like his body had just shut down. As if someone had turn off a light switch, his vision had gone dark and he had tumbled down onto the snow. He felt light, feeling like he wasn't touching anything, just floating.

When his eyes had opened back up, he found himself not looking at the broken walls of the abandoned town he was in previously. Instead, he was looking up at a white tiled ceiling. Looking dazed, he peered around, coming to realization that it was the infirmary of Black Order. "How did I… get back here?" He muttered out, sitting up. His body felt stiff and weakened.

He didn't call out for anyone, instead, Allen moved his legs over the side of the cot, moving himself to stand up. He walked a few steps, before his legs just gave out. He yelped out of surprise, catching himself on a small table in the room. The noise he made alerted the nurse there as well as Lenalee, who had been with her. "Allen! Your awake!" She cried, rushing right over to her friend.

"Lenalee? What is going on? How did I get back here?" He asked. The black haired girl looked at him. "You don't remember? You passed out on the mission. Lavi and Kanda brought you back." Allen looked a bit stunned. "Allen, you have been asleep for three days straight. We tried to wake you up, but you were like a rock, just out cold." Allen couldn't believe it. He had slept for three days! Three days!

Seeing that Allen was still on the floor, the nurse and Lenalee helped lift him to stand and helped him back to the cot. He wouldn't be able to go anywhere for a while, the nurse had said. Not until they could figure out what was wrong with him. It was Komui's orders.

For a week, he was tested for almost every possible thing. They knew the parasitic innocence took a toll on its user, but they had no idea how much of a toll it would take. So far, they had gathered that whatever was making him so weak, had to do with his innocence. After a while, Allen claimed he was better and he appeared to be as well. The white haired exorcist's appetite was back and he seemed to have a bit more energy. So he was allowed out of the infirmary to go back to his own room and get back to missions.

Even though he was free to do what he wanted again, Allen could tell he was still being watched. Kanda and Lavi were around him more often. He could feel their eyes on him. And Lenalee and the others weren't any better. Insisting on helping him. Allen felt annoyed. He was feeling fine yet everyone was still making a fuss about it. It was bothering him to no end.

Wanting to release some frustrations, he tried to find someone to train a little with. Finding no one surprisingly, Allen went on his own to the training room. With his innocence activated in there, Allen trained, going after imaginary Akuma. It didn't take long until something started to happen. His innocence turned back on its own. Looking his arm curiously, Allen was overwhelmed with vertigo, falling right to the ground. He started to cough, feeling light there was something in his lungs. He coughed and hacked away, on his side. In between the coughs, he called out as best as he could. "H-help!" He shouted. "Someone!" On the ground near by, Allen saw something. No doubt now, he knew something was wrong. On the ground, what was on the ground, were speckles of red. Blood. Allen couldn't deny something was wrong now. There was serious proof right there.

Allen was kept in the infirmary, more test being run on him. His skin looked paler than normal, if possible. While his body was looking bad, his mind was even worse. Allen was breaking. His arm refused to activate and any smile on his face was always forced, fake to the core. Allen was trying to stay strong. Lenalee would nearly break into tears everytime she saw him in the infirmary, seeing how bad he was looking. Soon she just stopped going to see him. While the others went on missions, he was left behind, often on his own in that room. Allen felt lonely and hopeless.

No one was telling him much about what was wrong with him. And that made him scared. Often, tears would be shed and he would sob at night. He felt alone, that no one was there for him.

When Lavi and Kanda came back from a mission, the first thing on their mind was to go visit Allen. He had been able to leave the infirmary again and was in his room when the two went to find him. He looked completely depressed, yet tried to look happy when Kanda and Lavi stood at his door. "Hey Allen. How ya holdin' up?" Lavi asked stupidly. Kanda looked closely at him. "Oh… I'm fine…" The white haired exorcist said. "Moyashi, don't lie to us." Kanda said, causing Lavi to snap his head to him. "Hey! Don't be mean to-" He was cut off by sobs. Allen had in an instance, been reduced to tears. He fell to his knees, the two going right over to his sides. "I'm useless! I can't do anything! My innocence won't work! I can't go on missions! I am completely useless now!" He cried. He was in pain.

While he cried, Allen could feel arms just wrap around him, trying to sooth his tears away. Lavi and Kanda both held him close. He would expect this from Lavi possibly, but to be comforted by Kanda? He was caught off guard a bit. "It hurts… I'm all alone…" He said into someone's shirt. "Its alright Moyashi… we're here now." Kanda said. His sobs turned to mere sniffles and the soon, his breathing was even. He was leaned against Kanda, breathing softly as he had exhausted himself with crying. The black-haired exorcist lifted him up, feeling how light he was. He put him on the bed, Lavi staying on Allen's right, while he stayed on Allen's left. Looking at the other asleep, tear marks on his now peaceful looking face, the two couldn't leave his side. They wanted to keep Allen from fully breaking.


Pretty short again... oh well.

Got a bit distracted. my chest hurts a little. Meh D:

Grahhhhh, Kanda is sooooo out of character. At least in my opinion.

I dunno... I kinda like it when really tough stubborn ass guys turn into softies. Its kinda cute.

Some constructive criticism is welcome. Tell me if you like this. I'll try to update chapters at least on mondays or wednesdays.
