Allen woke up that morning frustrated and depressed. The night before had been horrible, because he'd been kept awake by dreams of his past and dreams of his future. Never ending torture of what he'd done and what he was afraid of doing.

He looked out the small window in the adjacent wall. The sun was barely peeking over the horizon and here he was, wide awake... for the fourth time that week. His stomach growled, but Allen was just as tired as he was hungry so he growled back at it before getting up to scratch his abdomen and head to the bathroom to clean up. After finishing up and heading out towards the direction of the cafeteria, Allen had yet to notice a mysterious figure hiding behind the corner.


"Hey Allen, I was just curious, but what were you like as a kid?" A green haired exorcist, Lenalee, asked Allen as they ate. She'd been wondering about it since he got to the Black Order. The boy always spoke of how he had turned his adoptive father into an akuma, and how he had to cheat-to-beat in poker in order to pay off (a small portion) of Cross' debts, but he never actually talked about what kind of kid he was.

"Erm, Lenalee..."

"Yeah, bean sprout! I wanna know about how you acted too! I've heard Cross call you an 'unruly brat' but that doesn't give very much to the imagination." Lavi said as he frown in contemplation.

"Not you too Lavi!" Allen feigned horror. "The past is the past, you two should just let it go." He said with a smile.

"Oh right, like you do when someone mentions Cross' debt..." Lavi said pointedly. By that point, Allen's face really was contorted in horror.

"Oh god, Lavi... Never bring that up around me again... Please, just don't remind me. I don't want to remember those horrible, HORRIBLE days."

Lavi and Lenalee laughed at the boy's expense, but they stopped pestering him anyways. It wasn't good to pry, even if you were really curious.

*crash*

The exorcist trio looked across the cafeteria to see a finder on the ground near Kanda.

"Ahh, another one pissed off Kanda..."

"When are they going to learn not to mess around with or near Kanda?"

Lenalee and Lavi give exasperated sighs as they continued to eat. They had noticed Allen slowing down to watch what was going on, but to them, Allen just wanted to stop Kanda from hurting anyone.

On the contrary...

"BACK AWAY FROM LENALEE, LAVI."

Lavi yelped as a clip board hit him on the side of his head. Komui had come storming into the cafeteria. That was strange...

"Nii Chan! You shouldn't throw equipment at people! You could break the equipment, and that'll cause you and us trouble!" Lavi sweat dropped and moved to sit on the other side of the table next to Allen.

"Oh, my dear, sweet Lenalee~! Always thinking about my well being~!" Komui swayed back and forth while coming closer to their table.

The sister-complex walked behind Allen, pausing to stare at Lenalee before going around to hug her. "My dearest~"

"Nii Chan, why are you in the cafeteria today? The scientist usually never come to the cafeteria, because they're so booked with work. Shouldn't you be filing papers right now?" Lenalee questioned, but he wasn't fazed in the slightest.

"Oh darling Lenalee~ I was just doing some experiments..." They all gulped in unison, praying to god it wasn't another Komulin. "...and I thought to myself, 'why, my dearest Lenalee is probably eating lunch right now. I should pay her a visit~!' And so I did!"

The atmosphere around the four members was awkward as Komui stood there staring at all of them, analyzing them as they ate silently until they were finished.

Allen was still looking at Kanda's direction, even though there are no more signs of trouble, while gorging on the last of his meal before noticing that Komui seemed to actually be starting at him more intensely them his sister. Lavi nudged Lenalee with his foot.

"Uhm, Nii chan, why are you staring at Allen like that...?" Lenalee asked.

"Oh it's nothing. Allen~ do you mind if I ask you a question?"

Allen's attention snapped back to their group. "Oh, no, go ahead Komui san. Ask away." He sipped on his drink. He had finished his food bye now and had just been sitting there staring.

"You aren't in love with Lenalee, are you?"

Allen sputtered and Lavi burst out laughing, not being able to handle being silent for so long. Lenalee, on the other hand, looked mortified.

"Nii Chan! Why would you ask Allen that! He's even said he only see's me as a little sister!"

" Ahh, but Lenalee~ there is such a thing as inces-" he was cut off as Lenalee smashed his face into the table. "So does that mean you were contemplating it too Nii Chan? HRMM?!" A pissed Lenalee was never a good Lenalee...

Allen wiped his face before answering the back of Komui's head. "Sorry Komui san, but I am not in love with Lenalee chan. What brought this question up? I haven't done anything that seemed weird have I?"

"Moh, ah bust wantad ta test shomting."* Komui tried to say while his face was still lodged into the table. He popped back out, seemingly unhurt, like an annoying weed.

"Do you hate Cross?"

"Yes..."

"Are you a girl?"

"No! What the heck Komui-"

"Are you POSITIVE you aren't in love with Lenalee or have ever thought inappropriately of her?!"

"OH MY GOD KOMUI, YES. I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF HER THAT WAY. EVER." Komui seemed to be satisfied.

"I hope that truth serum works, or else I'd be mad if you truly are in love with my sweet little Lenalee~" his attempt at being scary died off as he started to look like jelly with his arms swaying in the air while he thought of her.

"Wait truth seru-" Allen fainted before he could finish what he was saying.

"What the hell Nii chan?!" Lenalee shouted. Luckily most of the cafeteria occupants had left by this time, leaving a few stragglers here and there, but no one paid them any mind.

"Komui, what was that truth serum thing you made? I saw you slip it in Allen's food, but I thought it'd be too interesting to mention." Lavi asked.

"Oh! Lavi understands my genius! I believe I created it to see if any one in the order is in love with Lenalee so I could get rid of them before it got out of hand!"

For a second time that lunch, Lenalee and Lavi sweat dropped.

"Ah," Komui continued, "... But I wasn't sure about whether or not I made if correctly, since i actually made this a while back and forgot about it. In short, Allen is basically my first test subject!"

"WELL OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG CONSIDERING HE FAINTED OUT OF NOWHERE!" Lenalee shouted.

"Hmm...hold on one second." Komui took out the bottle in his lab coat pocket and read the label. "Ohhh... This says truth serum, but it means it brings out the victi- err, subject's true emotions and attitude~! Ahaha~ whoops! The complete destruction of Allen's inner walls must have caused him to collapse temporarily."
