Allen stretched his body, letting his stiff muscles loose. He had just finished his homework and now he was tired.

"Thank you for helping me." Allen said as he yawned, rubbing the sleepiness off his eyes.

Lavi didn't say anything, he only stared at Allen with his chin propped on the back of his palm. The red nodded and then stood up from his seat. "It's getting late we should go home." The teacher announced. Allen looked at him and then blinked.

"What time is it?" The younger of the two asked as he saw the sky turning red orange.

"Five forty five." Lavi answered as he took a glance at his wrist watch. "You better go home before it gets dark. There are a lot of creepers around this place."

"It's alright Lavi-sensei. I am not girl and even if I do not like it I have to beat up guys effortlessly." Allen smiled as he brought his right arm up and tried to show his biceps. Key word tried. When Allen flexed his arm, the red head couldn't see any bulging muscles.

"Uh-huh." Lavi looked at Allen, unconvinced. "Dream on. In what universe can you beat guys up?"

Allen frowned at this. "I am not being delusional. I can beat men twice as big as me." The white haired teen huffed, clearly annoyed at the comeback of his teacher.

Sensing the negative energy leaking from his white haired student, Lavi held both of his hands up. "Alright. Alright." Lavi said in surrender. "Where's your house?" The red haired man asked, quickly changing the topic to ease the annoyance emitting from the younger of the two.

"Why do you ask, Sensei?" Allen blinked as his feeling of annoyance left him once he heard his teacher's question. It wasn't the kind of question he had expected from the red head.

Lavi looked at Allen disbelievingly. "The night is getting dark. You're a minor. The place around here is dangerous. Do you get what I'm saying?"

Allen nodded his head as he gathered his belongings. "I can take care of myself, sir. I commute when vehicle transportation is not available for me."

"But I still insist on accompanying you." Lavi frowned. He leaned closer to Allen. "It's also my job to take care of my students."

"Err… but we are not at school. You don't have to take care of me, Lavi-sensei." Allen said, getting uncomfortable at how close his teacher was.

The red haired man's frown deepened. "Walker." Lavi said in a sharp voice, the sharp voice that he always used when he noticed one of his students not paying in class. Allen slightly flinched at the tone. "I am a teacher, whether I'm inside or outside school I am still a teacher. My work never stops." Lavi lectured Allen as if Allen was a five year old boy who got into big trouble.

Allen nodded and then looked down. His usual creamy white cheeks turning rosy pink. "R-Right." Allen stammered.

Lavi beamed at his student's answer. He stood up and took Allen's school bag.

"H-hey!" Allen protested, standing quickly up his seat, he spun around and ran towards Lavi. "I can carry my bag." Allen huffed as he snatched his bag.

Lavi snatched Allen's school bag, again. "I know but I want to carry it. Come on let's go."

The white haired teen pouted but didn't protest any further. If his sensei wanted to carry his bag he was fine with that. No baggage for him to carry.

The two left the library, but not before saying a good bye Lala.

"Sooo… which way to your house?" Lavi drawled as he and the white haired teen stood in front the Public Library.

"It's a fifteen minute walk from here to my house. This way, Lavi-Sensei." Allen said as he turned right. Lavi shrugged his shoulders and then followed his student.

"Do you have siblings?" Lavi asked, looking up at the sky.

Allen shook his head. "Not that I know of."

Lavi's eyebrow rose at Allen's response. It was an unusual answer to say when you're with that kind of question. "What do you mean by that?"

Allen twitched, uncomfortably as he slowed down his pace, making his sensei, who had been walking beside him, look at him curiously. "I'm adopted. I don't know who my real parents are." Allen mumbled.

There was a long pause for a while but Lavi decided to break the silence by ruffling his student's hair. "Me too." Lavi giggled as he ruffled Allen's hair faster, making the white haired teen's hair look like it had been run over by a tornado.

"P-please stop!" Allen shouted as he tried to swat the big annoying hand that was ruffling his hair.

Lavi smirked at Allen's protest and continued to ruffle the young man's hair. After a few attempts of the teen trying to swat the man's hand away, Allen successfully did swat Lavi's hand away.

"That was evil." Allen hissed as he smoothed his hair back.

"Just trying to make you happy." Lavi said as he spun around the white haired teen as if he was some kind of young girl skipping around with her friends. "I thought that you were about to cry so I did that." Lavi explained and then stopped his childish behavior. "But I was serious when I said that I'm adopted too. Old man panda adopted when I was five, since then I've been living with the Panda."

"Old man Panda?" Allen asked. He looked at his sensei with curiosity. "What kind of nickname is that?"

"A ridiculous one." Lavi answered with a smile. "But if you ever see Old man Panda, then you'll not only find that nickname ridiculous but you'll also find the nickname very suiting."

Unsatisfied with the idea but didn't want to pry any further, Allen merely nodded. From the corner of the white haired teen's eyes he could see the roof his house.

"What's your dinner?" Lavi asked as he also quickened his pace.

"I don't know. I think I'm going to skip dinner."

"You? Skipping a meal? That's unbelievable."

"Errr... I'm not hungry." Allen answered but just right after this roaring growl was heard from his stomach. "Maybe a little." The white haired teen mumbled a healthy blush crept on his face as he ducked his head in embarrassment.

Lavi laughed which made the younger of the two quicken his pace.

"Not funny." Allen said as he puffed his cheek in annoyance (and embarrassment), making him look like a chipmunk.

Lavi giggled. "Right… hahaha… sorry."

Allen rolled his eyes and then he stopped in front of a gate. "This is my house."

Lavi stopped walking. He looked at Allen and then to the house that his student called his house. The house wasn't shabby or extravagant. It was a two story white house made out of cement with a simple wooden door and screen door; two windows on the first floor, one appeared to be a window for the kitchen, the other window for the living room. The house also had a small front yard.

Three windows were stationed at the second floor, all of the windows were closed and covered by curtains, Lavi couldn't tell what were those rooms but Lavi had a good guess that it were bedrooms.

The house looked like a typical house where a family of three or four members would live in.

"Well… uhm… thank you for escorting me home, sensei." Allen said as Lavi gave his bag back.

Lavi nodded in acknowledgement. "No problem my little student." He said as he ruffled the teen's hair, again.

"W-will you stop that!" Allen said as he stopped the man's hand from ruffling his hair. "I'm also not little!"

"Oh yes you are." The man teased as he saw Allen huff and open his gate.

"Whatever." The teen said as he rolled his eyes. "Would you like to come to my house? I can serve you coffee or tea, sensei."

"Nah. I'm good." The older of the two declined as he turned around. "I'm going home, don't be late tomorrow!"

"I won't be!" Allen shouted as the teacher continued to walk. "And please be careful on your way home sensei."

Lavi only waved his right hand in response, not bothering to turn around or to talk back.

After a few seconds, the man's retreating figure was gone and the teen decided to go inside his home. He fumbled with the keys and then opened the door.

"I'm home." Allen said as he collapsed on a leather couch nearby. Once he sat down he felt that his body was heavier than the usual. "I'll sleep for a few minutes. Yes… that sounds good." Allen mumbled as sleep claimed him. A lot of unusual events happened to him that day, making him really tired. Sleep was the only answer to his exhaustion.

DING DONG

Allen jolted from his seat, sleep quickly leaving him. He looked at the wall clock. It read 7:00.

So he had been sleeping for an hour.

DING DONG

The loud annoying doorbell chimed again, making the white haired teen jolt from his seat again. The teen groaned as he reluctantly stood up from his seat.

DING DONG

"I'm coming!" he called as he rushed towards the door. Allen sighed as he twisted the doorknob of the wooden door. He opened the door and the sight of tall bulky woman greeted him. "Mahoja is that you?" Allen smiled as he saw the familiar face of the woman.

The woman beamed at him. "Hello to you too, Allen-kun." The woman greeted.

"Well, what you brings you here? Are you looking for Anita-san? I don't think that she's here." Allen sighed as he opened the screen door. "Would you like to come in?"

Mahoja shook her head. "No thanks. I'm not looking for Anita-san I'm just here to deliver orders for Anita-san's restaurant."

Allen blinked at the woman's answer. "Eh? Order? I didn't order anything."

"You didn't but a friend of yours did. Said that he figured that you would be hungry so he ordered you food."

"Did he say who he was?" Allen frowned finding the 'friend' who sent him food very suspicious. Who wouldn't be?

"Lavi Bookman. You know the guy with the red hair. He also paid for it." Mahoja answered as she gave five large chow mein orders to Allen. Allen looked at Mahoja dumbfounded he didn't expect his terror teacher to that for him. "The food is safe. Anita-san cooked it." She said with pride. "It smells delicious too."

And true to her word, the food smelled delicious. Allen inhaled the appetizing aroma as his mouth started watering. "I guess I can't turn down good food."

Mahoja smiled. "Well that's good kid I better go now. I still have other orders to deliver."

Allen bid a farewell to Mahoja. "Good luck!" he said as he watched Mahoja drive her motorcycle, loaded with orders.

Once the bulky woman was gone he locked the two doors and tackled the food. 'This is heaven!' Allen thought as he with gusto, his eyes sparkling in delight. 'I definitely need to thank sensei tomorrow!'
