Candies.

You knew the sweet taste of candies, sometimes they came with a bit of bitterness and in some more exotic places they're spicy. You also knew how to make them, how could you not? It was Special Inspector Lvellie pastime.

You bake when your frustrated, though you begun to bake when you wanted to make him smile. His favorite was the chocolate cake, after dango but you still couldn't let yourself try to make them…it was a Japanese recipe, you didn't have enough experience with that cuisine or at least that was your excuse nevertheless Walker always smile, after some time of acquaintance, when you presented treats for him to try.

Those moments, when you baked and Allen was there like the taster, were some of your favorites memories about the Exorcist. Because in them they were only you and Walker, without the loudly presence of Bookman or the cheery one of Lee, most importantly since Kanda hated sweets you could be certain that the man wouldn't interfere.

"Thank you Mr. Link" Allen said every time.

You didn't say anything to that, but you couldn't stop your lips twitching a little in response; just like you couldn't stop yourself from thinking about if Allen's lips will taste as sweet as the pastries that he had been eating.

That was when you begun to notice your feelings for the other man, when you begun to care. You tried your best to protect him and at the same time tried to do it without him noticing what were you doing. Although, for the smiles that Walker gave you, you didn't think that you were successful in your endeavor.

When Inspector Lvellie asked you about this new routine between you and the suspect, you only told him that you wanted to earn his trust and since Walker loved to eat you thought that it was the easiest way to achieve it.

"If he trusts me, it will be easier for me to notice something amiss"

You didn't think that the older man completely believed you, but he didn't say anymore.

You continued baking and Allen tasting, you still wondered if Allen's lips would taste sweet or maybe they would taste a little bitter.

You tried not to think if Kanda Yuu already knew it.
