Allen glumly stared at the Lotus in Kanda's room. He and Kanda were curled upon the bed, and Allen just stared… at the lotus, which had only one petal left. He realized that Kanda had about a month to live, let alone a week, if he went on one of those dangerous missions again. He sighed heavily, but closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Don't you wish to save him? The voice asked.

Allen stirred somewhat, and opened his eyes. A pale light was in front of him.

That voice… Mana?

It's me, Allen.

Why are you offering to save him? Allen asked the figure, not believing it.

Because, you love him, don't you? Then, if you do, this is a way to prove that you love him. Mana said.

--

Do you accept what you must do, Allen? Mana asked the boy, who was panting somewhat, clutching his chest.

Yes, Mana, I will make sure of it. Allen said, getting up, as his dream faded.

He woke up, to the smell of green tea, that special scent he was going to miss if Kanda passed away, but he wouldn't, Allen would make sure.

"Kanda, Wake up!" Allen crowed, poking the man in the cheek. The man only stirred, grumbling, "Stopit!" and rolled over, and, apparently, Allen was in his arms, so when Kanda rolled over, Allen rolled over, too.

"Mmf! Can't… breathe… Kanda!!" Allen exclaimed, as he was almost 'smothered' by the man.

--

For the hundredth time, Allen sighed. It was a week, and he overheard Komui talking on the phone with the Finder Kanda had left with for the mission. It went something like this.

"He's going to die?" Komui asked, as Allen heard that through the door.

From the phone, the other voice said, "Yeah, I heard about his Lotus, and since he's only got a petal left, and from his injuries, I think that this was going to be the last battle he's going to fight."

Allen left, then, bolting for his lover's room. He panted, somewhat, watching the lotus's last petal waver.

--

When Kanda returned, he was in fine health, but he was really glum.

"Kanda," Allen said, as he and Kanda were in his room, eyeing the lotus. He saw the last petal waver, about to fall. Kanda sat on the bed, as Allen was standing.

"Yes, Moyashi?" Kanda asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I love you, you know that? And if either of us dies, will you promise not to turn me, or if you die, I won't turn you into an Akuma, okay?" Allen asked, smiling.

Kanda raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, Moyashi? I'm not dead yet."

Allen shook his head sadly, he had his poker face smashed on his face, but he was crying. "K-K-Kan..Da…" He said; he could feel his body growing cold.

"Yes, Moyashi?" The man asked, annoyed.

"Kiss… me… ple…ase?" Allen asked, in his broken voice. He was shaking, trying to ignore the inevitable coldness.

Kanda got up, and he embraced Allen. His eyes widened in shock. "Moyashi, why is your body so cold?"

Allen smiled up at Kanda, before closing the gap between their lips. Allen closed his eyes, and he smiled against the kiss.

When they broke apart, Kanda let the boy stand, but the said boy just fell forward, like a limp rag doll.

"O-Oi, Moyashi?" Kanda caught the boy, and then looked up at the lotus, but he paled.

The last petal had fallen during their kiss, and he looked down at his hands.

"S-Shouldn't I be dead? What… Moyashi!!" He exclaimed, as he shook the boy in his arms.

"Moyashi!! Moyashi!!" He was crying, now, because the once 'Angelic' boy was now… dead. The boy had given his life up for Kanda, because he had loved him that much, and the Destroyer of Time wanted his own lover to live, instead of him.

K-Kanda… Allen's voice rang in Kanda's mind, as Kanda looked up.

Put your hand… on my heart… He said, and Kanda obeyed.

As he did, a bright light engulfed him, and when he looked down, he had a mask clamped in his hand.

"Crown… Clown…" He whispered.

I may… be dead… but, please, take this with you, and make sure, that you don't turn me into an Akuma… Allen said, and Kanda felt warmth on his lips, before it faded away.

--

Kanda looked up at the Akuma, its leering eyes boring into him. It was a level three.

He grinned, invocating Mugen. He would fight for Allen, and he would defeat the Earl in Allen's place.

But there was something different about Mugen. When he invocated it a mask settled over his face, just like Crown Clown did for Allen.

When he destroyed the Akuma, he smiled up at the sky.

"So you're still here for me, Allen." He said quietly, looking towards the Heavens.

The wind blew, the sweet scent of lavender that made Kanda miss the boy, and, along with the wind, came a sentence.

I love you, Yu-Anata.
