GET ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Allen stood up, and immediately recognized something was wrong. Lavi chuckled at the look on his face. Allen snarled angrily. His entire backside was embarrassingly exposed.
He muttered I recognizable curses under his breath, snatching the blanket from his bed in an unnecessarily harsh manner.
"C'mon, 'm starving!" Allen complained loudly.
"But shouldn't we get you some clothes first?" Lenalee asked.
"I have a blanket." Allen said.
"But wouldn't it be easier if you were wearing something?"
"...I have a blanket."
Lenalee sighed in defeat. He was stubborn in more ways than one.
"Let's just go while we still have the time!" Lavi popped in. Even though he wasn't a parasitic type, he felt like he could eat a horse or two. He could hardly imagine how Allen was able to deal with being this hungry all the time.
"Fine." Lenalee rolled her eyes.
After a brisk walk through the halls, they were inside the cafeteria. Lavi watched Allen, observing any sign of discomfort. Neither Lenalee nor Lavi wanted him to run away again.
By this point, Allen accepted he was going to be stared at. After all, he was a beat up, worn child wearing hospital clothes. But he was too hungry to care about the multiple pairs of eyes that watched his every movement.
He followed behind the two exorcists with a slight attempt to bring less attention to himself.
They made their way to the ordering counter. Jeryy saw only the two exorcists.
"How you doin' Lavi, Lena-lady? What can I getcha'?"
"We're doing great, but we're actually not the ones ordering." Lenalee sweat dropped.
The dreadlocked chef looked confused, searching for any other familiar faces. He turned back at them, shrugging.
Allen was fuming, but knowing he was going to get a free meal, he held his tongue. He felt two hands on his shoulders, and suddenly, he was in the air!
"What do you think you're doing, you stupid twat!" He snarled at Lavi, any form of manners briefly forgotten.
The pink-haired man stared blankly at the annoyed child.
"Oh! Aren't you a cutie patootie? What's your name, hun?" Jeryy squealed.
Allen was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but wonder if the man was dangerous. He didn't speak.
"C'mon, don't be shy." Lenalee encouraged.
"..Allen." He said uncomfortably.
The man cocked his head. "What's your last name, Allen?" He asked innocently.
The images of the white haired boy flashed through the chef's mind. If Lavi and Lenalee were here, where was he? Surely the two must have met, with the amount of kindness and manners Allen had, he was surprised he wasn't with the child.
Something in Allen snapped. "Walker, okay!? Yea', I know what you're thinkin', I AM that stupid exorcist!" He growled. For some reason, he felt a fire burn inside him just by the thought of the 15 year old Allen Walker.
Jeryy looked astounded. Looking to Lavi and Lenalee for a better explanation.
"Komui's potion.." Lenalee said. "It turned him into a child." Lavi finished for her.
"Oh! That must mean he has the same appetite, no? What would you like, sugar?" Jeryy bounced back up.
"...I don' know.." Allen mumbled.
"We have everything you could think of, anything." Jeryy ensured.
"..I really don' know what to order. I ain't never had nothin' but the leftovers from the circus'. Allen said calmly.
Jeryy wanted to laugh and believe it was a joke, but the child's expression never changed.
Lenalee and Lavi's hearts shattered.
"Oi! Why'd it ge' all quiet?" Allen complained.
He looked in confusion at the torn expression Jeryy wore.
"It's just not right!" The pink haired chef enforced. "I'll cook any meal for you, Allen hun!" He finished strongly.
Allen was slightly...er, weirded out. No one had ever actually offered him a full meal, other than his beloved foster father.
The redheaded child placed a finger on his chin, "C-Could I get a bowl of soup, and some bread?" He said, as though the polite words were painful to word out.
The three were shocked by the sudden good manner that was held in his voice. He was starting to sound just like their Allen Walker.
"Anything else?"
The child shook his head, much to Jeryy's disappointment.
"Lavi, Lenalee?" The chef said.
"I'll have miso soup." The redheaded exorcist said with a broad grin. He sat Allen back down.
"Leak soup, please?" The dark haired female said.
"A lot of soup, no?" Jeryy smiled. Lenalee laughed.
"I'll have it ready in a jiffy!" Jeryy said excitedly, holding his spoon up with pride.
After their thanks, they chose to sit down at an empty table.
Allen yawned, stretching out his right arm, his left arm clutched the blanket to his body securely.
"So, what was that place? The place we were at before we got here?" He spoke with concern. "I haven't ever' seen a place like tha'." He said truthfully.
"You mean the infirmary?" Lavi offered.
"The infirma-what?" He commented with a raised eyebrow.
It had dawned on them that he must have never been to a type of hospital before.
"It's a place you go when you're sick or injured, there are people who work there that help make you better." Lenalee said.
"Oh." He said quietly.
"What? Is something wrong?" Lavi asked.
Allen shook his head, "No, it's just that.." He held the side of his head with his only exposed hand. "Ugh..My head.." He grimaced.
"It makes sense your head hurts, you banged it pretty badly." He said.
"The anesthesia is wearing off.." Lenalee turned to Lavi with a panicked expression.
"We need to hurry and get him back. I'm sure they're looking for him by now." Lavi answered back.
"Allen, Lavi, Lenalee, they're ready!" Jeryy called out.
Lenalee was about to stand, but Lavi held a hand out. "I'll get them." He said before getting up and leaving.
He came back with the three bowls of soup on a platter. He handed Allen his, knowing it'd be the one with bread, and he already knew which was his and Lenalee's.
Allen was just about to take a large bite, but he froze. He looked down closely at the soup, scanning over the surface. Lavi and Lenalee were already digging in.
"What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?" Lavi spoke with his mouth full.
"You're looking at it like it's poison.." The dark boots accommodator laughed.
The silver orbs became pinpoint. He stood up and was about to take off, but Lavi had his arm around his waist. "It's okay, little buddy! We were just kidding, it's not poisoned!" He said. Lavi was more enraged than anything, to think anyone would dare to poison a child's meal. Now, both the exorcists realized why he had always gone for the leftovers.
"Yea right! That's what they all say!" Allen tried wriggling out from his strong grip.
Lenalee quickly regretted her words.
A deep pit of anger settled within Lavi. Who would dare even attempt to poison a child!?
"It's perfectly fine! See?" The dark haired exorcist tried to fix her mistake. She took out her spoon from her soup and dunked in it Allen's, putting the spoon back in her mouth.
Allen looked at her, a bit embarrassed from his attitude.
Lavi loosened the grip and got back to eating his meal.
"Fine.." The younger redhead muttered, dusting off the blanket.
He took a large bite of the soup, his eyes grew wide from the flavor.
"This is th' best thing I've eva' eaten! Tha' chef guy is a GOD!" Allen said, stuffing his face.
Lenalee glanced over at Lavi, who had been watching Allen. She felt content.
If only things could stay that way forever.
But the best moments don't last.
Author notes:
Why isn't Allen upset about what happened? THE QUESTIONS SHALL BE ANSWERED IN THE NEXT COMING CHAPTERS!
I swear I'm not dead.
I sort of lost inspiration for this story. I'm not sure where I'll be going with it. I'm not really satisfied with the finished result, it reminds me of a crappy filler episode..
(–_—;;
This chapter felt like something I HAD to get done, rather than something I wanted to do. But that doesn't mean I'll be abandoning it! I'll keep posting chapters!
I need more cliffhangers. Hehe. Oh, and Merry early Christmas! And Happy early birthday, Allen! I want to write a one-shot for his birthday sometime soon..
I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Don't forget to review!
