At the dining table, things were quieter than expected. Until Allen finally spoke up, "Mr. Tyki, who were those people?"
"That was my brother and his daughter." Tyki answered the white-haired kitten.
"I don't like them." Kanda stated.
"Why?" Allen asked.
"That girl was being nosey." Kanda huffed.
"What's wrong with that? She was just curious." Allen muttered.
'Yeah, and she was giving you a fangirl look…' Kanda sighed, "I just don't like her."
"Jealous much?" Lavi mumbled.
"What was that usagi?" Kanda growled.
"Don't go starting any fights now." Tyki sighed. Kanda muttered under his breath and left the table. "K-Kanda?" Allen mewled.
"Back off moyashi." Kanda glared at the kitten, before he ran upstairs.
"He's in a really bad mood it seems." Lavi groaned.
"D-Does this mean Kanda doesn't like me anymore?" Allen sniffled and his ears drooped.
"No, he's just grumpy Allen. He still likes you, I promise." Lavi patted the kitten on the head.
"Should I go talk to him?" Tyki suggested.
"No, let him have some alone time. Anyway…Allen, is there anything you'd like to do?" Lavi asked.
The whitenette shook his head, "Not without Kanda."
"Don't you want to do anything by yourself?" Lavi sighed.
"Well…there is one thing…" Allen's ears perked up a bit.
"And what would that be?" Tyki questioned.
"Kanda's birthday is in four days, and I want to make him something!" Allen exclaimed.
"Really now? Well is there anything specific you want to make him?" Lavi asked.
"Hmm…I don't know." Allen pouted.
"Well what does Kanda like?"
"Um, he told me that he used to like watching his old master practice sword fighting…oh, and he likes lotus flowers." Allen swished his tail as he continued to think.
"Um, we can't really do anything along those lines…" Tyki scratched at the back of his head.
"…I guess I don't know a lot about him." Allen gave up and pouted.
"Well that's ok." Lavi stated.
"No it's not! Kanda supposed to be closest thing I have to a family; and I don't even know anything about him!" Allen whimpered.
"Calm down Allen, it's not that bad… You know, I got an idea." Lavi smiled.
"Really?" Allen asked.
"I know Kanda doesn't like sweets, but I think he'll appreciate this. Why not make him a chocolate lotus? You and I can work on it together." Lavi suggested.
"That's awesome! But it'll have to be dark chocolate." Allen smiled.
"Sounds good to me, I'll get the ingredients tomorrow." Tyki stated.
"Yay, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Allen purred.
"Calm down Allen, you don't want Kanda to suspect anything do you?" Lavi asked.
"Right, sorry." Allen blushed in embarrassment.
"How old will Kanda be?" Tyki wondered out loud.
"Fifteen in human years." Allen answered.
"Alright, thank you." Tyki patted Allen on the head.
"You're welcome." Allen replied.
"Now what to do…" Lavi tapped his chin.
"How about we go play in the backyard?" Tyki offered.
"Can we? I've been stuck inside all day." Allen looked to Lavi for an answer.
"Sure, just go tell Kanda." Lavi stated.
"I'll take care of that, you two go on ahead outside." Tyki stood up from his seat at the table. Lavi nodded and then took Allen's hand, walking to the backyard. Which as soon as Allen was free to do as he pleased, he rolled over in the grass, looking up at the clouds. Lavi could only smile as he watched Allen enjoying pointing out different shapes that the clouds were making. "Hmph, it's better than sitting inside all day." Kanda huffed as he walked into the backyard.
"It's nice of you to join us." Lavi sighed. Kanda ignored the red-head's comment and went to lie down next to Allen. "Look Kanda, doesn't that cloud look like a dragon?" Allen asked as he pointed at the sky.
"It looks like a cloud." Kanda huffed.
"Mew, where's your sense of imagination?" Allen groaned. Kanda just shrugged. "So we just cloud watching?" Tyki asked as he came outside.
"Looks like it." Lavi replied.
"Sounds relaxing."
"Just what we need after a long day." Lavi sighed.
"It's only a few minutes past twelve." Tyki pointed out.
"Whatever." Lavi groaned. Tyki then shrugged and took a seat in the grass; Lavi taking a seat right next to him. Once the red-head was seated, Tyki placed an arm over the other's shoulders. "Don't let what Sheryl said get to you." Tyki sighed.
"Only your opinion matters." Lavi smiled.
"…Have I told you that I love you?" Tyki chuckled.
"Not recently." Lavi stated.
"Well then, I love you." Tyki smiled.
"I love you too." Lavi blushed slightly.
"Good." Tyki captured Lavi in a kiss…
"Mr. Tyki, Mr. Lavi, what are you doing?" Allen asked as he noticed the kiss.
"N-Nothing." Lavi broke the kiss and blushed.
"Just something that people do when they like each other." Tyki answered the kitten.
"Really?" Allen cocked his head to the side.
"Yep, it's called a kiss." Tyki chuckled lightly.
"…Kanda." Allen mewled.
"What moyashi?" Kanda looked at the kitten.
"Kiss me." The whitenette said with a smile.
This got Kanda to blush madly, "W-What?"
"Mr. Tyki said that when people like each other they kiss." Allen replied. Kanda suddenly hissed and glared at Tyki. Said man nervously chuckled, and looked away from the angered ebony-haired boy.
"What?" Allen asked.
"It's nothing… Hey, is that a butterfly." Kanda pointed at the orange flying insect. This stole all of Allen's attention. Kanda then sighed in relief and glared once more at Tyki before turning to watch Allen. "Well, that was awkward." Lavi muttered.
"Yeah, it was." Tyki agreed.
"And it was your fault." Lavi sighed.
"Yep… Hey, wait a second; it was your fault too." Tyki muttered.
"How so?" Lavi asked.
"You're the one that looked so kissable." Tyki pouted.
"Not my problem." Lavi shrugged. The pair then brought their focus back to the two cats; which Allen was failing at pouncing on the butterfly, and Kanda was enjoying watching the silly kitten play.
