A few days went by without any sort of significant event, though much to everyone's confusion Kanda was somewhat smiling. It was more of a smirk really. Everyone had their own theories about the situation. The most popular theory was that Kanda had killed someone or that the world was ending. Only Allen knew the real reason behind Kanda's unusually happy mood.

The two of them had started training together, trading punches at the end of each day. Which was a great way for Kanda to unwind enough to talk freely with Allen. Unfortunately the world leave the training room in a big mess afterwards.

"Kanda you've been acting kind of strange and its freaking everyone out." Komui spoke, while hiding behind Lenalee.

"So it's a bad thing that I'm not pissed off huh?" Kanda retorted, activated that no one seemed to be happy that he wasn't mad at anything.

"No no! Nothing like that we're just worried that's all. Do you feel okay? Did anyone hit you on the head?" Komui continued.

That was enough to push Kanda just a little bit too far over the edge. "Well if you all feel that way then there's no helping it." The severely pissed off Samurai growled and then stood up, heading to the door and slamming it so hard the door split in half. "That pissed off enough for you!?"

"O-okay okay I get it, there is a mission for you and Allen though...hello Allen..." Komui's voice shook, hiding more behind his sister.

Unfortunately for Allen he was on the receiving end of Kanda's particularly violent outburst. He had arrived at Komui's request to go over a mission. He was just about to open the door when Kanda had ripped it from his hand and slammed it back in his face.

Kanda huffed, slowly recovering his senses he noticed the smaller exorcist had been behind the door white as his hair, completely startled by the whole event. "Fuck..."

Allen was completely blank, his ears were ringing so hard that his vision was blurred, then he fell backwards onto the cold stone floor out cold.

A growl more ferocious than a mother grizzly bear witnessing her cub being cut down emanated from Lenalee's throat. Her glare as sharp as a butchers favorite knife.

"L-Lenalee it was an accident! I didn't know he was behind the door!" Kanda started to back away only to be brought down by the heel of Lenalee's dark boots straight to his skull. That was the last thing Kanda would remember before waking up in the nurse wing of the order a week or two later.

According to one of the nurses he had been out cold with a fractured skull for a week and a half. If it was anyone else they would have died from such a hard direct hit to the skull.

It looked like he was the only one in the hospital wing at moment. That must have meant that Allen recovered as well. Being alone after meeting with Allen to spare every so often was not helping his attitude any. He slept more than he was awake.

Unfortunately the nurses failed to mention to Allen that Kanda had woken up from his slight coma days before, every time he would visit, Kanda seemed to be unconscious.

"...I'm sorry Kanda, I thought what we were doing was helping you... But I guess not." Allen whispered, sitting on the side of Kanda's bed.

Kanda had woken up the moment Allen had sat down though he didn't show it on his face.

"I wish you would wake up so I can tell you how sorry I am..." The white haired boy whimpered. As it looked to him as if Kanda would never wake up.

Kanda could feel Allen's voice shaking, he couldn't stand it anymore. With one quick motion he wrapped his arms around Allen's chest and pulled him down onto the bed beside him. "Shut up Allen..." Kanda whispered into the others ear.

"K-Kanda!? You're awake!" Allen shrieked quietly and wrapped his arms around Kanda's neck. "Thank god, I thought you were going to sleep forever..."

"Its not your fault Allen so stop crying, I'm not going anywhere." Kanda whispered after feeling the small tears roll down from Allen's cheeks to his neck. "I won't leave you alone like that..."

Allen was stunned silent by Kanda's words, they were almost loving. "Kanda I-" Allen began but was cut off by a sleepy Kanda snuggling into the his chest.

"Stop worrying about me... As long as you are okay I don't care what happens to me." Kanda whispered, a faint blush glossing his cheeks.

Allen carefully wrapped his arms a little tighter around Kanda's neck, holding him closer. Within a few moments the both of them had fallen asleep wrapped in each others warm embrace.
