Cross Marian wasn't a man of patience and Allen was slowing wearing down the little patience that he did have. The boy usually brings back whatever he borrows within two days and it's already been a week. There must be something wrong with the little dimwit. The ex-General walks over to the phone preparing himself to interrogate the little Moyashi. Then it dawned on him that it felt like he was actually starting to care for the whitette.

Cross put down his phone and proceeded to go to his lab full of fun gadgets. Upon his arrival, he tried to find the device that Allen decided was necessary for his operation. Nope all the weaponry is still here so that means it isn't murder this time around. so maybe he took some biomechanics. Cross continued to shuffle his way down the rows of chemicals and guns and some... unmentionable things, when he finally reached the back wall of the underground artillery.

"Which one, which one, which one is it?" Cross asked himself in a melodic tone. He stopped in front of an empty space on the wall then read the label as to what was missing from this spot. When the general finally was able to make out Allen's handwriting... and then he wished that he hadn't.

Cross's phone started to ring but he was afraid to answer it. He knew who would be on the other side of the line, waiting, lurking, and plotting what to do next.

His hand shakingly dug around in his pocket for his phone. Cross looked at the screen only to find out that it wasn't his phone. But the ringing just continued on. He stiffly turned his neck to phone that was on the wall. It was old, white, and had seen a lot of better days. What chilled Cross down to the neurons was that that the phone that was rarely ever used was ringing loudly and the lights were flashing like crazy.

Sir Cross Marian walked over to the phone and answered.

"Hello," he said, attempting to sound unphased despite the fact that he was nearly shaking in his shoes.

"I'm so glad that you finally answered the phone. I was beginning to worry," came the evil voice. Cross was too scared to answer. "So... How's Allen?"

The character on the other side of the phone just cackle as it he just heard the funniest joke of all time.

"So when do you intend on telling me what happened between you and Lavi?"demanded Kanda, as he observed Allen devour another box full of sugary foods.

"To be honest, I want to put off this conversation for as long as I possibly can. So can we just drop the whole subject?" Allen pleaded, covered in crumbs and confectionary sugar. "Does it really matter to you what happened?"

"Of course it matters! If you continue to be-" Kanda stopped himself before all that was in his heart could be vomited from his mouth. Well great job, Kanda. Just tell him how you feel so he will completely stop talking to you.

"Fine then. I'll tell you but do you promise to give me a positive response? 'Cause I can't have you raging through the city after what happened last time"

"I promise but let's get clean before that can happen. Seeing you covered in powder and crumbs is not good for my health." Kanda stood up dragging the Moyashi behind him into the bathroom.

"Strip." Kanda's voice was firm but there was still a twinge of huskiness in it.

"Woah... I didn't know you swing that way. I could have set you up with so many of my friends," Allen sa9d as he slowly took off the shirt that he failed to notice as Kanda's. After the shirt it was the underwear.

Kanda was merely left staring at the fallen angel that was Allen. He slowly felt a blush forming across his cheeks but he willed it away as he began to remove his own clothing as well.

"Should I draw the bath, young master?" Allen asked, sounding rather perverted and teasing while filling the large, white tub with bubbly water.

"Did you just put bubble bath in the water?"

"Oh no, I just put a spell on the water to make it leave foam atop the surface. Of course I put bubbles in the bath. That is the only way I like to take my baths. Why? Do the bubbles make you feel happy and you don't want little ol' me seeing you smile?" Allen asked as he slid into the steaming water with a sigh.

"Bubbles are fine. I just worry about your reaction to the bubble with a full stomach," Kanda replied as he too slipped into the warm water.

They both were awkwardly sitting in a large, jacuzzi type bath, waiting for the other to speak. The samurai man was observing the water run down the gentle slope of Allen's shoulders. The way it ran over his pale but muscular chest made him want to-

"Kanda, can I tell you why I was so pissed off the other day?" came Allen's quiet voice, startling Kanda out of his stupor.

"Isn't that what I asked for initially?" Kanda nearly growled.

"Well, the thing is... Nevermind. I'll tell you later."

"You've got me curious so you might as well tell me what's going on."
Allen inhaled and splashed bubbly water onto his face. When Allen looked back at Kanda he had a deformed crown on his head and a beard that made him look like Santa. Kanda snickered.

"What are you doing Moyashi"

"This is the only way I can tell you and stay calm," Allen declared with a slight blush peeking through his bubble beard.

"Will you tell me your wise tale my dear friend. It would be great if you would enlighten me," Kanda asked now finally able to speak in his normal tone yet it was a little playful this time around.

"I will. Now, where should I begin?" Allen inquired to himself while stroking his bubble beard.

"How about from the beginning?"Kanda interrupted.

"AH, good idea! Well it started about 3 weeks ago when Lavi and I were on one of our many dates. He got a call from some unknown character and just started to run off telling me that something rather 'important' came up and had to attend to it quickly."

Allen was using extreme hand motions all the while he talked about his troubles. Kanda was more enticed by his hand motions than the words that were coming out of his mouth.

"... and the other day I went to his house because I forgot something and other he was sucking face with Lenalee, the so called untouchable princess of the group," Allen said with a few tears daring to fall.

The fact that Allen was crying made Kanda aware of just how much the experience had hurt him. Kanda reached over and pulled Allen to his chest and comforted his shaking form.

For a good five minutes, Kanda and Allen just sat in the now chilly water, clutching each other as if their lives depended upon it. Allen slowly pulled away and shifted so he could rest his back against Kanda's chest. Together, the two just sat in silence.

Lenalee was a little worse for wear when she and Lavi finally did make it to her apartment. She was fuming still from the fact that Lavi wasn't completely over Allen. To be completely honest, Lenalee was on the verge of going into a blind rage. I can't believe he still is in love with the fool. It's kinda sad.

"Lena, what's wrong? You're starting to make me worry that you might kill the couch," came Lavi's voice as he put his coat on the many hooks.

"It's nothing," Lenalee sighed.

"You sure? 'Cause I can make some cookies and we can talk about it."

Lenalee just sighed once more and walked into the kitchen. She pulled out the biggest tub of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream she could find and grabbed a spoon. Guess she's going into a sugar coma. It kinda reminds me of...

Lavi flinched a little as he thought of Allen. There was actually a slight thump in his chest at the thought of him. The thumping then turned in to clinching at the thought of Allen and Kanda doing the things they used to do.

Not being able to take the pain in his chest, Lavi goes into his secret stash of candy and pulls out a big box of Swedish Fish. He, too, thought it would be great to take his frustration out on candy and sugar.

The sad, lonely couple sat on the couch together eating candy and ice cream trying to calm themselves down. At one point they both had to go get more candy and ice cream from the store. They wallowed so far into their sorrow that they left out of the house only in their pyjamas and covered in ice cream and candy.

Upon arriving back at home, the two had to fight over who would use the bathroom first. It teaches a lesson that eating a crap loads of candy to get over something is probably not the best thing to do.

Eventually the fight over the bathroom turned into a fight about their relationship. The two don't know how it happened, but they didn't really care at this point.

"Oh, you think it's my fault that we started this thing we've got! Well, you sure as hell are wrong," screamed Lenalee.

"Now listen here! I wasn't the one who just happened to call you in the middle of a date you had with someone else and blackmailed them into screwing you," shrieked Lavi. He wasn't about to play games with Lena. He was extremely close to completely releasing all of his pent up frustration on Lenalee. It was unbearably hard for Lavi to not snap on her.

"Oh, you want to state some fact now?! Don't get me twisted. YOU were practically begging me to fuck you. YOU were the one who left that unnecessarily provocative message on my phone. YOU were the one who asked, no, demanded that YOU get to be the only guy who get to see my body!"

"First of all, half the time I do call you it is because one of my many pervy friends insist that I call you and leave you wanting me. THAT was merely a bet that I happened to win. Second of all, the only person whom I'm willing to beg for is Allen."

"So you want to talk about Allen now!" Lenalee said flailing her arms in the air and walking away. She turned back to Lavi and said with narrowed eyes," What is so frickin' great about Allen fucking Walker!?"

"Are upset because I still have the slightest little feeling for Allen? Your little attitude was caused by the fact that I still have a little attraction to him?" Lavi asked. Now that he understood why she was so upset, he began to think that this trail of conversation was completely childish.

"Of course! Why else would I eat mint chocolate chip ice cream at noon? You should know that I don't eat ice cream until after 6 o'clock. You should also know that I can't stand the mint in my ice cream," Lena sighed as she finally calmed down.

Lavi began to giggle under his breath. Lenalee looked to where he was leaning against the wall. The look that was settled upon him caused Lavi to release all of his laughter. It was about when his laughter reached its climax did he just abruptly stop. Lavi's eyes had suddenly turned cold and this threw off Lenalee.

"Wh-What's wrong with you?" questioned Lena. She was stunned with his sudden mood change. The way that Lavi's eyes pierced right into her soul made her body shiver... and somewhat aroused.

"Lenalee... I think it's about time I leave. There really isn't a reason for me to actually talk nor be near you for any other reason. Seeing as that you find that my attraction to other things is unnatural, I shall do you a favor and put your mind at ease. If you feel that you need someone to hold you, call your moronic brother. He will be more than happy to help out," Lavi said in a cold, chilling voice.

"Wh-Wh-What are you tr-trying to say Lavi?" inquired Lenalee. She was half a step away from falling into the abyss that was sorrow. What Lavi said next pushed over the cliff.

"I'm still in love with Allen and I never held a single feeling for you. The moment this relationship began it was already over. All in all, I don't want to have this conversation ever again. If you bring this up in front of our dearest, naive Allen, then I will personally will make your life hell on earth."

With that Lavi left the room and later the apartment.

The two were toweling off after their bath. The silence that settled upon them was one that was neither peaceful nor was it one that could be described as unpleasant. It was a placid yet energetic silence. They finished drying off and they walked into the living area, both half naked.

"You want some milk?" asked Allen as he grabbed himself a glass. He looked to Kanda, whom was just leaning against the island counter. He was still in the process of drying his hair when Allen asked his question.

"I want soba. And bacon," replied Kanda in a whiny voice. Kanda really didn't feel like it. All he wanted to do is eat soba then cuddle up with the Moyashi.

"Sorry, love. I forgot to get it the last time I went out. I can go buy some right now if you want me to." Allen's accent started to slip out. It tends to happen after a bath.

"No, I want you to stay here with me. It get's cold with you here and you should be the first to know that I can't stand the cold."

Allen cheeks flushed an adorable pink as he listened to Kanda's word. I don't want to admit that it made me a little happy to hear that Kanda wants me here to stay. I could dance but then he would think that I am crazy.

"Well, we can commence with the bacon making and we shall sing all the while. Is that good?" Allen asked in his old English voice. He giggle which in turn made Kanda giggle with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Kanda had walked back into his room as well as Allen's and got boxers and pants. He went to give Allen his pant but instead found him laying across the couch with his towel half on. He just looks so tempting. Kanda went over to put Allen's clothing on, all the while memorizing every curve and scar on his body. He finally got the pants on when he looked up to see that Allen was completely awake, but there was something wrong with his eyes.

"Allen, wha-" Kanda didn't get to finish his sentence because a little Moyashi had captured his lip. I can die happy now Kanda thought as he slowly wrapped his arms around Allen's small, warm frame.

SORRY!

My attention span got the best of me and I just couldn't decide on how this chapter would work out. Now that I've got this last chapter out, I think I can finally achieve the anything...

Pshh... Who am I kidding?

Well, I'm tired so I'm gonna take a nap and plan the next chapter...

REVIEW for this is how I gain my daily bread...
