Yay! I managed to get this chapter to be longer than the others! Thanks To Everyone Who Have Followed and Favorited This Story! It Means A Lot To Me That People Actually Like My Writing...
Here Is Chapter 7! ^w^
It was bright, sunny Saturday morning when Lenalee decided to pay little Allen Walker a visit.
The outside of her home was still moist from the harsh rainfall. Lenalee loved the beauty of seeing the scenery after the rain. After the darkness from the skies faded away, you can enjoy the beautiful sky again with all of the world's majestic colors. She can see this scenery very often now because she lived in London.
At first, her brother was going to attend Mullenium University, the best university in China, almost like Harvard in the US, but there were many complications about applying to that school and Komui's scholarship would only pay for two semesters. In a way, Lenalee was happy that her brother did not attend that school. It was not very nice of her to think, but she was head over heels for Allen, and 6th grader's heart did whatever it wanted.
Lenalee changes out of her pajamas and into a regular t-shirt, blue jeans, and a dark blue hoodie. She walks out of her room and tiptoes into Komui's room. He is still asleep after coming home late from school. Lenalee stands over her brother and pokes his cheek.
"Brother? Brother, can I go to Allen's house?" whispers Lenalee.
Komui quickly sits up, scaring Lenalee. He looked like a zombie! Creeepy...!
"Why? Why can't he come here?" asks Komui, half asleep.
"He came to our house last time, so it's my turn to go to his."
"Will his mom be home?"
"I'm pretty sure. Allen didn't mention that she worked."
"Alright... Be careful and take an umbrella, just in case it starts to pour down again."
"OK! Thank You, brother!" Lenalee gives her brother a peck on the cheek, making Komui blush.
Komui knew one day that his little sister would grow up, but he did not think it would be this fast. He remembered the days when they would walk and play at the neighborhood park together. Pushing her on the swing, going down the side with her in his lap, and eating lunch with her under a big shady tree. Now those days are gone. Lenalee was growing up, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Burning, dry throat. Headaches coming in waves. Slight nausea. Allen had all these symptoms at once. Of course, no one was home to take care of him. Cross and his lady friend left to see a movie together, leaving Allen home alone.
Timcanpy sits with Allen on his bed, keeping him company. Allen rubs Timcanpy behind his ears, making him purr. Allen smiles at the purring Timcanpy.
"I wish I could live a care-free life like you, Tim. All you do is eat and sleep." Allen starts to have a coughing fit, which sets off another sharp pain in his head. Timcanpy rubs Allen's arm, hoping it would help his human friend feel better. "It's ok, Tim. I'm fine."
They have both known each other since Tim was a kitten and Allen, a third grader. Tim was cruel to Allen as a kitten. He would scratch up Allen's curtain's in his room, chew on Allen's laptop charger cords, and sometimes chew apart Allen's shoe laces. But underneath all that mischief, he loved the silver-haired boy as much as his little, feline heart could.
Timcanpy heard a knock at the front door and ran towards it. Allen followed him, holding his nauseous stomach. More knocks came from the other side of the door.
"Coming, coming!" said Allen, trying not to irritate his throat.
Allen opened the front door. As soon as the door opened, Lenalee glomped Allen, making them both fall to the floor.
"Lenalee? What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you, silly!"
Lenalee stands up and keeps Allen to his feet.
"So... You're not upset at me anymore?" asks Allen.
"No! Why would I be mad? But I will be taking that favor."
Allen starts to have a coughing fit again.
"Are you alright?" asks Lenalee with a worried tone.
"Yeah... I'm fine." says Allen, coughing between each word.
"Have you taken medicine for that cough?"
"N-no..."
"Where is your mom?" asks Lenalee. She knew she shouldn't nosey, but Allen was sick, and someone must take care of him.
How the heck am I suppose to answer that? Thought Allen.
"U-uh... She went to work today."
"Well, I'm pretty sure we have something at my house."
"Is that ok with your brother."
"Sure it is! He's almost a pre-med anyway."
"Alright, let me get a jacket." Allen leaves Lenalee in the living room alone. Lenalee starts to snoop in the drawers and shelves of the living room, trying to find out more about Allen. She didn't find much, so she started to head for the master bedroom. She almost made it, but Allen was already making his way out of the room.
"Ready to go?" asked Lenalee.
"Yeah." Lenalee left with Allen, wondering, Why does it seem like that there isn't any mom stuff around the house, like pictures of family members or events. When mom was alive, she had us take a family photo together, order class pictures, and all sorts of stuff. Is Allen's mom not that type of person?
Allen made sure to cover his mouth before walking into the Lee house. He didn't want anyone else getting sick.
"Wait in my room, please." asked Lenalee as she walked to the bathroom.
Allen obeyed her order. Allen wanted to sit on her bed, but he knew his germs would rub off onto her bed, so he leaned against one of her walls instead.
Lenalee looked through the medicine cabnet to find medicine for Allen. She found a couple medicines that said cold on them, but she wanted to be sure they were the right ones to give to Allen. She took the bottles out of the bathroom and went to her brother's room to ask him which to give to Allen. Komui was awake now, typing his essay for his engineering class.
"Hey, brother. Which one of these is good for colds?"
"Why!? Are you sick!?" asks Komui frantically.
"No, its for Allen. His mom is at work today, so I brought him here."
"Oh, OK." Lenalee hands her brother the bottles. Komui reads the outside of the bottle, making sure its for children and sees how many doses are to be given.
"Have him take this one," he takes out two small tablets from a white bottle and sets them into her hands. "Give him one right now and one in 4 hours, OK? Here's a water bottle too." Komui pulls out a water from a pack of water bottles under his desk and gives it to Lenalee.
"Alright, thanks brother."
Lenalee walks into her room to find Allen leaning against her wall with his eyes shut.
"Here you go, Allen. Take one of these."
Lenalee walks over to him with the tablet and water bottle.
"Thank you, Lenalee."
Allen lays the tablet on his tongue and downs it with the water.
"So what is your favor?"
"Oh yeah!" Lenalee started to feel shy about it, but asked anyway. "I wanted a kiss."
"What, like the chocolate or-"
"No, not that kind of kiss, like this." Lenalee puckered her lips and started to giggle.
What do I do? I've never kissed a girl before, and how do you kiss someone anyway?
"But I'm sick! Yeah! I'm sick! And I don't want you to get sick either!"
Lenalee pouted. She was determined to do kiss him, but remembered when her friend Lavi came to visit with a cold and got her sick, her brother did let Lavi and Lenalee speak for months. She didn't want that to happen again. So, what else could she have Allen do?
"Well, since you can't do that, why don't I have you play dress up for me?" Lenalee's infamous devious smile returned again to play.
"What.. do you mean..?" asked Allen.
Lenalee opened up her closet to find a particular article of clothing for Allen.
What is she doing? Wait, is she looking through dresses!? Oh please, no...
"Ah Ha! Here it is!" exclaimed Lenalee. She ranked off a fluffy light pink dress with glitter all over from a hanger threw it at Allen.
"Put that on." demanded Lenalee.
"You got to be kidding me!"
"You did say if you could do anything, just ask. And this does count as anything."
"...Alright..." answered Allen reluctantly. Lenalee shoved Allen into the closet and started to look through her desk for her camera.
"What are you looking for?" asked Allen.
"For my camera."
"No pictures, Lenalee!"
"But, why!?"
"This is embarrassing enough! I don't want anyone else knowing about it!"
"Fine, fine. Just hurry up and change." Lenalee slammed the closet door on Allen.
There's gotta be another way to document this... Oh! Lenalee turned on her computer and opened up her webcam program, presses the record button and hid the recording screen with a background picture.
"Alright, I'm coming out now!" says Allen, muffled by the closed door.
Allen opens the door slowly with his face bright red.
"Come out here! I want to see the whole dress!"
Allen reluctantly walks out of the closet, his head hanging in shame.
"You look so cute! Now spin around so I can see." And for the camera to see...
This is so embarrassing... Allen spun around slowly, covering his face with his hands.
"Thank you Allen..." Lenalee hugged Allen with teary eyes.
"Are you ok, Lenalee?" Lenalee wipes tears from her eyes.
"Yeah, its just that... At my old school, people made fun of me and thought I was weird for thinking of stuff like this... So thank you, Allen... Thank you..."
So, she was bullied in school... Excluded from others... I know how she feels...
Lenalee lets go of Allen and rubs her pink eyes. And then Allen did something that he never thought he would do. Allen leaned in close to Lenalee and pecked her on the lips.
Lenalee and Allen's cheeks turned red, Allen's deeper than Lenalee's.
Komui opened the door.
"What's going on in here? It's quiet." asks Komui. Before Komui could see him, Allen ran back into the closet and slammed the door behind him.
"Nothing's going on, brother!"
"Where's Allen?"
"He's... in the closet..."
"Why is he in the closet?"
"Uh... We're playing hide and seek?"
"In your room? Not many places to hide, don't you think?"
"Yeah, can we play in the backyard?" asks Lenalee, trying not to seem suspicious.
"Sure, if it starts raining, come inside. I don't want you getting sick." Komui leaves the room, leaving the door open, of course.
That was a close one...
It's funny because Deathgeass and Alapest, you guys had the same idea, so I put it in this chapter. Hope you guys liked it!
