It was slowly becoming more apparent as he worked closer and closer to waking up that it was far too hot. Way too hot for comfort. But that didn't make sense. Shouldn't it have been cold? The farthest back that he could think back to was just before he passed out and landed in the snow. Snow should be cold. Not hot. And snow certainly shouldn't have been this odd feeling and holding him down and certainly should not be breathing right into his neck. Wait. Breathing. Cracking his eyes open, Allen grew aware of the situation he was in and the 'snow' that was making things so hot.
Red hair was what tipped him off to what was breathing on his neck. Lavi was there, arms wrapped around his torso and hands close to his chest, almost so close that it would be considered groping. Well, actually it was. He felt the other twitch in his sleep and the bookman's hands flexed slightly on his chest, sending a shiver through him at the feeling. His head was at Allen's neck, his soft breathing blowing against his skin. Then he grew aware of whom he was on top of. While Lavi was resting partially on Allen, Allen was resting his head on Kanda's chest. In his line of sight, the white haired male could see the raven locks of the other.
Why were they there? How did he get here? Where was even 'here'? So many questions that Allen did not have an answer for. But there was one really important question. "Why are we naked…" It came out mumbled at first. That got barely a reaction. "Why am I naked…." A little bit of a shift was felt by the two bodies. "Why are you both naked…" Heads lifted with a minor groan and yawn. "What did ya say Allen?" Lavi said while suppressing his yawn. "Why the hell are we naked and in a bed together!" Allen said loudly, effectively waking the others up fully. "Damn it Moyashi, could you be any louder and more stupid? We aren't completely naked." Kanda pointed out, Allen sitting up off him and having Lavi move. "Fine then, why are we close to being naked?!" The white haired male rephrased his question. "Body heat is the best when trying to warm up. Unless you wanted to get hypothermia, this was the best course of action." Lavi explained in place of their other companion.
That certainly explained a lot but nonetheless did not make Allen happy. He remembered why he had been out in the snow, why he had left the order. So without another word, he left the bed and searched out his clothes. Having been soaked from the snow, by now they were dry and wearable. "Where do you think you are going?" Kanda said as he got up as well, dressing in his own garb. Lavi watched silently, eyes drifting from Allen to Kanda and then over to Timcanpy. Nature was calling so the redhead had to dismiss himself momentarily to use the bathroom that was just through the door in the room. "Leaving. Why would you even care where I go? Oh that's right, Komui is making you and Lavi keep watch on the order's little burden." He said with bitterness to his tone. "Not true!" Yelled the bookman from behind the bathroom door.
As Allen tried to leave, something caught hold of him and threw him back onto the bed. Kanda pinned him down using his body weight against the all too skinny boy. "Do you think if we didn't care that we wouldn't be out in the snow looking for you and then trying to warm you back up? We could have very well just left you there in the snow but we didn't." Although Kanda's tone was harsh and stern at first, there was an undertone that was slowly emerging. "We care about you Moyashi… more than you realize." It was said so lowly, and in such a way that it made Allen turn light red, a shiver running through him at the tone. Everything was silent, with the two of them just staring at one another, neither breaking eye contact until the sound of water running and the bathroom door opening broke them apart. Lavi scanned over them, looking closely at the body language between them before the two pulled apart. Jealousy flashed within his chest at the sight of them but was gone swiftly enough as he went and dressed himself. "We are heading back to the order and that is that." Kanda said, catching a lingering look from both of them. Allen didn't protest again, mind filled with other matters. After prepping, they left, Allen situated between Lavi and Kanda as they marched back to the order.
Komui was not happy in the least bit when they returned. He scolded Allen for running off but then apologized for what he heard. It was all a misunderstanding. But things still felt tense. Lenalee tracked Allen down in the order and assaulted him with an embrace, having been so worried for the other. It made the white haired exorcist a little uneasy with how everyone was acting. He figured they would have been a bit madder with him. But they weren't and he supposed that he should take it as a good thing. After all that and a meal, Allen was back into his room. Lavi and Kanda were taking turns in keeping an eye on him, to make sure that he would not be leaving again. Without even realizing it, Allen had fallen asleep for a while. Lavi must have left for a while and Kanda was nowhere to be found when he woke up, covered in sweat and his heart pounding in his chest. His dream had been horrid. Whatever was making him ill, it was eating his body, making him fall apart as if he had been a monster held together by tearing stitches. It frightened him. Allen left his bedroom, and stumbled along through the halls, just trying to find someone, anyone to try and calm his heart. What he found was Kanda.
All but falling against a wall at the sight of the other, he called out to him. Kanda dashed over, helping hold Allen up. His legs felt like jelly, like they would give out if the other was not pinning him up on the wall. Allen babbled, words stumbling past his lips as he explained his dream. He felt helpless, useless, felt like he was dying.
Then things changed. There against the wall in the darken hall that was only lit by the moonlight that was casted in through a window, Kanda pressed the white haired exorcist into the wall, arms holding him up and lips pressed up against lips, silencing the babbling one.
Blargh, don't hate me for being such a horrible updater! I had a ton of computer issues and the entire summer I had spent with my father and did not have access to a computer. I had started writing out this chapter a while before but completely lost it somewhere on my old computer. So that means that I had to start from scratch. Hopefully it came out well haha.
Left a little bit of a cliff hanger. Things will get a whooooole lot better from this point. :3 I probably will do a few more chapters, make some delicious moments and all that. I have to figure out where I was going with this whole story. haha Don't worry, I shall not abandon this!
Like before I am sort of out of my groove of writing so if there are any mess ups, please let me know. I love helpful information.
Feel free to send me a message. I have a tumblr now so if anyone wants that link, just ask.
So that is about it for now. I shall try to upload again by friday or sometime next week. But you all know how I am with updating. I'll try though! Just for you guys!
Love SakamotoBlossom
Added: ARGH My word changed Lavi to Lava. I fixed it now. Thank you sweet sonia for pointing that out to me ^^
