I reiterate: No Owny…Although I may own Katsura Hoshino. I can't really recall… so maybe, by extension I could possibly own D. Gray Man and its characters…no….wait….I don't (DAMN!)

Allen's eyes widened at her infuriated tone and looked around at the people staring at them before shushing with his hands. "It's okay Lenalee, he was distraught and I'm over it. Really, I have Kanda now."

"That's no excuse! You're my friend Allen and you are not going to take that!"

"I'm not?"

"No, you are not! We are going to confront Narein and then if he doesn't give us a suitable response, kick his ASS!"

"We are?"

"Of course." was the last thing she stated before promptly marching out of the café and onto the pavement. Forgetting the young boy she left behind his mouth agape and eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"What?"

Chapter 19

"Allen, I need to talk to you."

"I'm kind of busy at the moment, Lenalee"

Allen looked up from the essay he was working on. He was trying to get it done in his lunch period, because he would have no time to do it tonight with his job.

"It is important." she said.

"Fine," Allen slammed his pen down on the table frustrated. "Make it quick."

She frowned at his sour attitude. She wondered briefly what crawled up his ass before snickering to herself. She knew one thing that had been up her friend's ass.

She gathered herself hastily. "You know a couple of months ago, when I was reading out one of my yaoi stories about you and Kanda?"

He scrunched his face up trying to remember. "Vaguely." he said.

"Well do remember the promise you made me; about if I didn't let the others see it?"

Allen thought about it for a bit, before he slammed his head into the table.

"Allen?" Lenalee inquired worriedly.

"I promised to help with the cultural festival didn't I?" he asked

"Yep." she smiled happy that he remembered.

He grimaced at her delighted expression. He really didn't have the time to spare to help her out, with something like this. He had homework, exams to study for, and he still had to work. Not to mention that the circus would be coming soon and he had to help out with that.

"What do you want me to do?" he sighed in resignation, he did promise her that he would help after all.

"Well I was wondering…." This couldn't be good. "Did you find out if it would be possible for you to get the circus to perform at the festival." she gushed out anxiously.

Allen just blinked; Lenalee didn't even give him the opportunity to speak before she rushed on.

"It's just that they are going to be here anyway, and you said you had to help them as well. It would make more money for all of us."

The boy had to admit that those were all good reasons for wanting the circus to join the festival, and he had already told her that he would try to get them to perform. There were two things that worried him about that though. One was that the ring master was not particularly a friend of his; and the second was that Allen really didn't want Kanda to meet with some of the people who worked there (well…one in specific).

"I can try…" he said dubiously.

"That's more than enough." the girl thanked him. She hugged him briefly in excitement before rushing off to go inform her other student council members.

"Fuck," he whispered to himself leaning his forehead on the desk.

"Yes please." he heard from the doorway.

He looked up to see his boyfriend smirking at him. The dark-haired male made his way over to the desk and sat down opposite him.

"Why are you in the library anyway? I thought you would have at least had lunch first." Kanda asked before sniffing and looking away, before admitting; "I was waiting for you."

Allen just kicked playfully him under the table. "I'm sorry, I forgot." he apologised.

Kanda kicked him back in response, only a bit harder. "If you really wanted to finish your homework that badly, you could have just told me. I would have helped."

The white-haired boy sighed. "If you had helped me, I wouldn't understand it as well."

"Well I could have sat here with you."

"You probably would have distracted me."

"….Are you trying to pick a fight with me or what?"

Sighing Allen shut his text book and moved around the side of the table sitting on Kanda's lap.

"No…I guess I'm just feeling a little uptight at the moment." he admitted

He smiled ruefully as Kanda pulled him up further onto his lap, and leant his head against the broad shoulders.

The two of them were content to just sit like that for the rest of lunch. It was lucky for them that the librarian was nowhere to be seen so they could.

Another few weeks passed and Allen was glad to say that everything was just going peachy (he was also happy to be able to use the word peachy in a context that wasn't sarcastic). He had organised for the circus to come and perform at the school. He learnt that if he performed in that he wasn't obliged to participate in his class' own activity. This gave him time to complete his homework during class while they were organising their part of the event. As well as leaving him more time to interact with his friends. That….and he had absolutely no communication at all from Cross, this meant of course no bills for Allen to pick up.

He might have been more worried about the man, if he hadn't have disappeared a number of times before. Knowing Cross like he did, he figured that he was probably holed up somewhere with a bevy of females.

There was still the lingering issue of having his ex-boyfriend around at the same time as his current one. Especially when Narein was probably still harbouring lingering resentment towards him, but Allen could deal with this. Lenalee had seemed much more affected by this story then he did himself, which added to his surprise when she had asked him about getting them to perform. He was glad that she had conferred with him though instead of just going and organising it behind his back.

"So what did you want to do?" Kanda asked from the couch.

Allen smiled as he plonked himself down next to his boyfriend. This was one of the only free nights he had had in a while; and he was spending it at Kanda's house alone with him. All of his time lately had been spent either at work or organising the events with Lenalee.

"Let's just watch television for a while, yeah?"

Kanda smirked. Yeah right. "What's on?" he asked sling one arm over Allen's shoulder.

"What time is it?" he asked before grabbing out his mobile and taking a look. "It's just past four thirty." he stated.

"What the point in asking if your just going to look yourself." the dark-haired teen huffed giving the other boy a playful squeeze to the shoulder.

"To annoy you." was his only response.

"There's nothing on this early in the afternoon…that is unless…"

"Unless what?" Allen asked curious.

Kanda adopted a serious face. "I could turn you on…"

"What?" Allen turned to face him confused.

"I could turn you on." he repeated before moving a hand down to grasp at the front of Allen's pants. He smirked all the while fondling the other.

Rolling his eyes trying not to laugh. "And how exactly do you propose to do that? By turning the knobs?" he asked derisively.

Kanda's expression turned devilish. He lowered his body down, pushing Allen's own back to lie on the couch. His hand still placed on the other boy's crotch, he squeezed gently making the organ start to pulse with desire.

"I don't think it would feel very good to twist this knob." the husky voice said. Accentuating his words with a harsh rub.

Allen's eyes fluttered from the feeling. He raised his hands up to grab at long hair, pulling on it gently. Kanda leaned in at this hint to plant a firm kiss on supple lips. Just as their tongues were meeting, there was a loud rap at the door.

"Fuck!" Kanda complained leaning his forehead on Allen's. "Should we leave it be?" he asked.

"Better not." he groaned. "It might be important."

Slowly they both rose from the slightly dented ouch and adjusted their clothes. Ensuring that both Kanda and he were looking appropriate to answer the door, Allen grinned up at his boyfriend. Planting on last lingering kiss onto his lips he laughed light-heartedly. He was glad that they had this time together, even if it had been interrupted.

Kanda walked up to the door craning his neck to look back over his shoulder and smile charmingly. Opening the door he turned his attention to the front of his house.

"Can I help you?"

/

"I was told that I could find one, Allen Walker at this address. Is that correct?"

Kanda regarded the man in front of him suspiciously. He had an official look about him which Kanda found that he did not appreciate at all. Who in their right mind wore a tweed suit? A large part of his disdain for the man however could most likely be attributed to the fact that he had just interrupted an intimate moment; rather than his clothing choices or 'aura'.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Yu… who's at the door?" Allen called out before the man could get his answer.

"That's a good question" Kanda said to the stranger quietly.

"Would that person be Mr. Walker at all?" the man asked, moving forward to make his way past Kanda who was standing in the doorway.

As soon as he brushed up against the boys arm he was grabbed by the throat by a single hand. The man was slammed up again the doorframe and Kanda glared.

"I did not give you permission to enter my house." He snarled. "And you have not answered my questions. Now, WHO ARE YOU?"

"Yu?" Allen called out sounding anxious; he stood up from the couch and made his way over hoping to hear the conversation.

"Stay where you are." Kanda called out as gently as he could under the circumstances.

The face of the would be intruder was starting to turn a red shade by now and he had his arms up in surrender.

"Kanda let him go." Allen demanded disapprovingly. "You have to stop attacking people; you're going to get in trouble."

"Che," Kanda grunted, grudgingly releasing his captive and pulling Allen into his side protectively.

Rubbing his neck the man moved backwards out of the line of fire. His hands still raised, he spoke slowly as if Kanda was a frightened animal he had backed into a corner.

"I am a police officer. I need to talk to Allen Walker in regards to an attack perpetrated on him by a fellow student."

The arm around Allen's waist tightened leading him to look up at Kanda face. It was turned down in a deep frown.

"That happened months ago." he snarled. "Why are you coming only now?"

Sighing the police office lowered his hands and gestured towards the door.

"Can we just go in and sit down and have a civil conversation?" he asked.

Kanda opened his mouth to refuse, however he was cut off by Allen elbowing him in the ribs.

"Of course you can." Allen consented. "I didn't catch your name sorry…"

Grasping his hand firmly the man gave him a friendly smile. "Its Howard Link."

Letting the officers hand go Allen returned it to its rightful place, in Kanda's, and used it to pull him along into the kitchen.

"Be nice…" he murmured under his breath, sure that Kanda could hear him. "Just follow us yeah?" he instructed his guest.

As the may their way to the table and sat down Allen ignored the angry rambling of his boyfriend. He smiled as Howard sat down opposite of them and pulled out a folded piece of paper from his jacket pocket. He slipped it onto the table and pushed it towards the pair.

"This case has so far been held up by the judicial system…." he started "Mainly because of who Connor's father is."

Allen and Kanda shared a look. Neither of them had a clue what this guy was talking about. Seeing the uncomprehending looks the two were sharing the officer sighed. They really hadn't been informed of the situation had they.

"The man in question happens to be a generous donator to the hospital, as well as a number of other charitable foundations. This is a problem however the main issue is that he is the police commissioner, and he has a very influential family."

Although the pair didn't comprehend the entire significance of what this meant, they knew enough to make them angry and worried.

"That shouldn't have anything to do with the case" Kanda forced out trying to remain civil.

"Unfortunately I'm afraid it does." Howard said "Many of the police fear that if his son is punished they might lose their jobs."

"That's ridiculous!" Allen said sounding horrified.

"But true…" was the response he got.

"I am trying my best to get all the evidence I can but I won't be sure of the results until near the end of the case I'm sure."

Allen nodded unsurely and reclaimed the hand he had released when the reached the table. The older teen squeezed it reassuringly.

Glancing at the two of them, Howard sighed and once again pushed the letter closer to them.

"This will be the date of the official court date, and unless I get anything new in regards to evidence ill just have to work with what I've got. Usually we'd set a date after all the evidence had been compiled. However everyone seems to be pushing it to an earlier date, there's not much I can do about it"

The two students nodded in understanding. Together they rose from the table and saw the man out.

"I'll be in contact with you soon, and in case you need to contact me; the number is on the piece of paper as well."

Reaching the door Kanda pulled it open, anxious to get the man to leave. Shaking Allen's hand once more the man pulled out a card and handed it to him.

"This is the name of a good lawyer, you should go see him. He already as the case details, and he is unbiased."

"Thanks Howard" Allen said quietly, hugging Kanda close to him once more.

"Call me Link."

The door closed behind him.

"This sucks" Allen said as they were both lying on the couch once more.

Kanda just rubbed his arm lovingly. He was also angry and upset but he didn't want to make the situation worse then it already was, so he kept his silence.

"I've been thinking…" Allen started before he fell silent.

"What?" Kanda prompted.

"I don't think I should say actually." Allen said snuggling into Kanda's chest.

"You can't not say it now."

"Its just that…don't you think that my life sucks?" Allen looked worriedly at his boyfriend to see what his reaction would be. He could just hope that he wouldn't take it as an offence. He was relieved to see that the dark-haired boy was nodding his head up and down thoughtfully.

"I can see that." Kanda agreed slowly. "But you are a happy person by nature." he looked straight into Allen's eyes as he continued. "and you should stay that way, that's the person I love."

Now Allen could admit to himself that he was not the most masculine boy out there. At this moment though he couldn't think about how much what Kanda just said wanted to make him squeal. Then melt into a huge pile of goo which Kanda could then partake of and be impressed by his full-bodied, yet light floral taste and aroma. All he could think about was how Kanda's deep voice, pronouncing his love, made him so… horny.

While all of this was being processed by Allen, Kanda was left with a silent boyfriend. He peered down at him, noting the blank stare he was given, and becoming a bit worried poked his nose. He had to restrain the chuckle attempting to leap from him when Allen's face twitched in a manner reminiscent of a small rabbit. When Allen seemed to snap out of his stupor, Kanda was not quite sure whether he should remain worried for the boy or not. This was because as soon as Allen responded to his prodding a giant smirk slid across his face. Whenever this expression had appeared on the white-haired boys face previously it had almost always meant trouble for whoever it was aimed at. With the exclusion of only two isolated events where the quirking of his eyebrows and widening of the lips meant something completely opposite. Kanda prayed to God that this was one of those times.

"Moyashi?" he spoke quietly unsure of the boys mood.

He was promptly enlightened when a hand slipped down to grasp at the front of his trousers and rub.

"I love you as well, Bakanda…." Allen said plainly before leaning up to whisper in his lover's ear. "..but I think that we were interrupted before and I never got a chance to finish."

Kanda almost groaned at the combination of Allen's words, the feeling of his breath caressing his ear, and the hand at his front. Until Allen continued speaking, after which he did groan. He couldn't recall in detail the exact words but to his best knowledge it went like this;

"All through that meeting I was just hoping you'd kick Link out. Bend me over the table. Fuck me dry. Then fill me with cum while I screamed out your name."

Of course it was a lot more explicit then that but Kanda figured since he was about to enact all of these things on his partner he needn't remember.

Rei; "Back again XD"

Kanda; "Took you long enough"

Rei; "Get off my tits!"

Allen; "…you just wanted to say 'get off my tits' didn't you?"

Rei; "…maybe…U_U"
