On with the story!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own D. Gray-man
December 24th is the day before Christmas. It is also the day before Allen Walker's birthday. Lenalee strolled along the streets to see a present for Allen. She was having a hard time on looking for a birthday present.
"What could I give him?" She pondered as she continued to walk. Then, something caught her eye. Lenalee went in a shop. Different kinds of accessories were here. Anklets, necklaces, rings, bracelets and many more accessories were there. Most of them were sparkling but only one was different. A bracelet with a small laminated wooden plank on the middle. The other design in this bracelet was pretty simple but elegant.
She called for the saleslady. The saleslady smiled and told Lenalee the price.
"I'll take it," Lenalee said. The saleslady beamed and led her to the counter.
"Miss, do you want me to write something on the plank?"
"Like what?"
"I could write down your name or your boyfriend's name."
Lenalee blushed at the word boyfriend. She was currently thinking of Allen.
"Okay then, can you please write the word 'Allena'" Lenalee said. The saleslady nodded and got a paintbrush and a white poster paint. She then began to write the word Allena in Harlow Solid Italic writing.
Lenalee also asked if the saleslady could wrap it. She nodded and after wrapping it, she gave it to Lenalee. Lenalee gave her the money and went out the store.
~~~~In the boys' house~~~~
Allen looked at the silver necklace with a heart on the middle. He smiled and put it back on the box.
"I hope Lenalee will like this." He thought and went down the living room. There was Maricar and Alma sitting on the L-shaped couch, reading books. Lavi and Kanda on the other hand were running around the house like crazy and frantic madmen. Of course, you know who was being chased.
"Hey guys," Allen greeted and sat on the other couch. The couch that he was sitting on was the one in front of the LCD television.
"Hey Allen, have you seen Lenalee?" Maricar asked. She didn't take her eyes away from the book.
"Come to think of it, yeah, where is she?" Alma asked. Allen shook his head, "I didn't saw her while I was in town…"
Maricar suddenly tensed. She put her book down and called her Lenalee. After a minute, she put down her phone and frowned, "She didn't answered."
"I'm going to look for her." Maricar suddenly grinned and Allen's eye twitched.
"Hey Maricar, do you have Multiple Personality Disorder?" he asked her. She shrugged.
"Yes, No, Yes—I mean no, No yes… Maybe," Maricar said, "Who knows? I don't know either."
"See, you could've just said 'I don't know' than saying all those words." Allen told her while grabbing his coat.
"Hey Moyashi, help me here!" Lavi cried as Kanda pointed Mugen at his neck, "My neck is going to be cut off! I still want my head!"
"But Usagi, your head will make a wonderful decoration for the next Halloween." Maricar said with a devious smirk.
"I'll be back soon." Said Allen and he left the manor. He went in his Volvo and drove to town.
"Calm down Allen, she's here somewhere. Please oh please show yourself Lenalee." Allen thought as he continued to drive around town until he reached the park. Then, he spotted a pair of pigtails in the park. He went out of his car and ran towards the girl.
"Hey Lenalee!" he shouted and grabbed her by the shoulders. The girl blinked. It wasn't her. The girl squealed while Allen gulped. The girl's squeal attracted other girls. In the end, Allen was chased by rabid and crazy fan girls.
"Damn, I should've gone in my car instead of running around like a complete moron." He said in his mind. He then heard a giggle.
"Are you alright Allen-kun?" a familiar and soft feminine voice said to him. He glanced up to see that person was, to Allen's joy and relief, was Lenalee.
"Thank goodness! I searched everywhere for you!" he exclaimed happily and hugged her tight. Lenalee giggled again but hugged him back.
"What were you doing outside without a disguise?" she asked.
"Looking for you," Allen answered and grinned. She sighed and grabbed his left hand. Of course, Allen blushed.
"Let's go back to the manor; Maricar must be worried about me."
"Yeah, it's cold too." He added and they left the park. Unbeknownst to them, three naughty persons were planning something about them.
"Ya think this would work?" Maricar asked. Lavi nodded. Alma smirked and said, "Never ever question Lavi's skills when it comes to these kinds of things—"
"What kind of things?" Allen and Lenalee asked in unison as they remove their scarf. The three began to sweat.
"U-Umm, nothing, just playing….umm—"
"Board games, yeah! We are playing board games!" Maricar continued and covered Lavi's mouth. Maricar looked like she was used in lying. Everyone believed what she says, but most things she says are lies.
Lenalee bent down and saw a chess board in the middle of Alma, Lavi and Mariar. She shrugged.
"Bye the way, Maricar, Alma, we need to cook for Christmas Eve. You know the tradition." Lenalee said and rolled her eyes at the same time. The two boys gasped. Lenalee and Maricar looked at them confusingly.
"Are you kidding?" Lavi said. His tone was telling Lenalee and Maricar that what they were saying was clearly impossible.
"We can cook thank you very much. How do you think did we live when Komui was gone?" Maricar said. By the tone of her voice, she was angry. Kanda went out of his room and overheard their conversation while he was in the stairs.
"Alma, you might just hurt yourself, I'll go out for a while." He said and left the manor.
"I wouldn't try on touching the stove Lena, Mari." Alma said with her hands raised upwards as if she was caught by a police.
"Why?" Lenalee asked her. Lavi tapped Lenalee's shoulder and sighed.
"She is not much of a chef." He told Lenalee. Then, they heard someone shriek. All of them ran towards the kitchen.
"What the hell? What are all of these stuffs doing stuffed in a cabinet?" Maricar exclaimed angrily.
"Our cooking supplies, but since we were away very often, Miranda don't use much of it." Allen said and helped Maricar to pick up the scattered things on the floor.
"Boys," Alma muttered, "I'll clean this up so I can do something. You girls work on the food."
"Really? Thanks Alma, you're the best." Lenalee said gratefully and hugged her. Alma smiled, "This is the only thing I can possibly do since I can't cook."
Maricar and Lenalee beamed then asked for the aprons. Allen and Lavi gave them the aprons.
"Hey, this apron is hard to tie." Maricar complained. Lavi came to her rescue and tied the string of the apron. She smiled and muttered a thank you. Allen, on the other hand, helped Lenalee with her apron. He slowly ran his fingers through her slender back. While he was tying the string, he could totally see her slim and slender back. When he finished tying, he could see her curves since he tied it tightly.
"Oi Allen, if Komui was here he already murdered you for looking at Lenalee like that." Lavi whispered to him. Allen blushed and elbowed his redheaded friend.
"Shaddup," Allen whispered back.
Lenalee and Maricar started cooking while the boys decorated the undecorated dining room. They finished the work for almost an hour. The girls prepared foods for everyone. It almost looked like the foods they cooked were too much.
"Hey Lavi, I made a new song but it still don't have lyrics. Care to listen?" Allen asked.
"I think it would be better if you asked Lenalee," Lavi teased. Allen blushed red. Lenalee walked to them and looked around and smiled, "You guys did a nice job."
"By the way Lenalee, Moyashi here has something to ask you." The redhead pushed the poor white haired boy forward.
"E-Erm, I made a new song, would y-you like to listen to it?" he asked nervously.
"Sure, why not."
With that, the two left and went to Allen's room. Maricar smiled evilly and nodded.
"They just fell in our trap."
Allen and Lenalee went inside Allen's room. The room looked the same like before. Lenalee noticed that Allen was nervous.
"Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be great." She reassured him. Allen smiled and sat down in his piano chair and began to play a mesmerizing song. However, it still doesn't have lyrics.
"Wow that was great Allen-kun! Don't worry, I'm sure you can make the lyrics." She told him. He blushed and offered his hand to lead her downstairs. They were going to open the door but someone locked it.
"Maricar! Lavi! Alma!" the two of them screamed, banging the door.
"We'll let you out…"
"But…"
"Look above you first."
As instructed to do, they looked up and saw a mistletoe hanging above them. Boy their faces did went red.
"Guys, this isn't funny!" Lenalee shouted and banged the door again. Allen decided to look for another way out and he noticed his window.
"Lenalee, let's escape by the window." He whispered. She nodded and they opened the window and escaped through it. Being the gentleman Allen is, he went down first so when Lenalee will fall, he can catch her.
Suddenly, Lenalee's hands slipped from the tied blankets and fell. Luckily, Allen was there to catch her.
"Are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah, thank you." She answered and opened her eyes only to find herself staring at Allen's gray eyes. They were in the garden and under a silver birch tree. And in one of the branch of that tree has mistletoe. This time, this mistletoe was real.
They didn't seem to notice the mistletoe. Allen put Lenalee down and Lenalee smiled gratefully. The couple suddenly noticed the mistletoe above them. They were happy that they get to kiss without Lavi, Maricar, Alma and Kanda.
They leaned in slowly. Lenalee wrapped her arms around Allen's neck while Allen put is hands on her waist. Without hesitation, their lips touched each others.
They broke the kiss after a minute and looked in each other's eyes.
"T-That was just a tradition right?" Allen asked, clearly denying his feelings, "Even though I wish it wasn't."
"Y-yeah," she said, "It just had to be a tradition. I wish it meant something more to him."
"Oi Moyashi, what are you and Lenalee doing here?" a familiar voice said in an annoyed tone. Kanda came back from his fencing lessons. It was one of his secrets.
"N-Nothing Kanda!" they said in unison.
"Go back inside," Kanda ordered them in a scary manner. The love birds nodded and went back inside.
"What the hell is taking them so long?" Maricar exclaimed impatiently and stomped her foot on the floor like a child in tantrum.
"Let's look," Alma suggested. The other two nodded and they took a peek in Allen's room. To their surprise, they weren't there. Lavi went inside and noticed the tied blankets.
"They went through the window—"
"And we are here now." Allen continued for him. Lenalee was beside with her arms folded at her chest. Maricar noticed something on the tree and smirked.
"Looks like we don't need to set up fake mistletoes Lavi, they already kissed." She said and pointed at the mistletoe on the silver birch tree on their garden.
"Oh look! It's now 11:00 am!" Allen said quickly and dragged them all to the living room. Miranda and Krory came back from Lenalee and Maricar's old house. Reever, Johnny and Tapp are the ones staying there to guard the house. Miranda already set the plates and utensils so when they will eat, they won't need to do something else like preparing the utensils.
"Let's exchange gifts first." Alma said. All of them had their gifts to give the others. Allen sighed at his gift from Kanda. Really, who would give a bowl full of bean sprouts on Christmas? At least it was decent. Lavi gave Maricar a teddy bear and a hug. Maricar gave him a wrist band wherein his name was written on it and she also gave him a kiss on the cheeks.
Lenalee was astonished at Allen's gift for her. She looked at him with a huge smile on her face and kissed his cheeks which made him blush.
"Thanks for this wonderful gift! Here is yours," she gave him her gift. He opened it and saw a bracelet with a small laminated wooden plank on the middle. There it was written 'Allena'. He wondered why.
"The Allena stands for the both of us, the Allen is your name while the one with the Lena is mine," she said and giggled, "I felt like I was referring to us as a couple."
"This is a wonderful gift Lenalee, I like it." He said and hugged her, "Allena huh? I like that name."
