This is it guys! The last chapter!
I want to thank all of you for following with this story and for your support.
I'll be "disappeared'' for a while as I work on the next one, which will be in the canon universe/time-verse. I hope you'll read it too!

Allen was out of town along with Neah, Lulu, Mai and Tricia. They were back in Liverpool for a little less than a month to supervise how everything was going with the new club.

"Lavi! Have you talked to Al?" Devi questioned.

"No, why?" He was helping Road with her Latin homework once more.

"I can't find the fucking CD with all the tracks he had programmed for today!" He replied, fistting his hair.

"Just call him, Devi. He's in Liverpool, not in China." Lavi told him before he turned to the girl next to him. "Yeah, that's good."

The black-haired one stuck his tongue out before he called his brother. "Al!"

"Hey Devi. What's up?"

"I can't find today's tracks. Where did you put them?"

"Ah, I didn't make any for today or tomorrow. I thought you could do it yourself, you know enough of it to manage it, right?"

"Really?" It was the first time since he had started helping him DJing that Allen allowed him to completely do it on his own.

"Yeah, but you know the rules."

"Yeah, yeah…" He rolled his eyes, Allen was very strict on never putting something a client asked for, whatever the offer was. And he had once been offered 300 dollars. They had seen him doubting, almost taking the money but when he saw their smug faces, he simply turned around, head held up high. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it. Can you put Lavi on the phone?"

"Yeah. Yo ginger, phone!" He tossed it to him and Lavi caught it midair.

"Hey babe. How's everything?"

"It's fine, the workers are really doing an awesome job in here. It should be finished next month."

"That's awesome. I'll miss Lulu a lot, though." He sighed.

"Aw bunny, you'll survive! You always do!" Allen told him. "How are you doing?"

"We are managing. We all miss Tricia a lot, I don't think any of us were aware of just how much we all depend on her." Road nodded at that, agreeing with him. "When are you coming back?"

"Next Friday."

"Another week? That's too long." Lavi whined, throwing his head back and sighing. "I miss you so much."

"I miss you too, bunny." Allen replied. "Do you want to do something when we get back?"

"Sure. We could go to Harry Potter if you want to. I heard they are opening a new area."

"You really want to?"

"Of course babe. I may not be as obsessed as you with it, but I do love it. It was a really big part of me growing up, gave me hope."

"Hope? What for?"

"For me being able to be me. You gave me that."

"Aw love… I really want to kiss you right now." Allen cooed. "I gotta go, Mai is calling me."

"Alright. Love you."

"Love you too. Keep me posted?"

"Of course." Allen hang up when Mai called for him again. "What?" He asked the girl, who was watching him amusedly with a cocked eyebrow.

"You two are so domestic that if it had been someone else I'd find it disgusting." She said.

He rolled his eye. "It's not like we haven't been like that since day one." He pointed out.

"He's got a point, you know?" Tyki said as he dried his hair with a towel and sat down in front of them. "I mean, you two are always cuddling, aren't you?"

"What can I say? He likes to cuddle and I like to make him happy." He linked his fingers behind his head and shrugged, but really, all he wanted was to make his boyfriend happy and if he liked to snuggle and everything, who was he to deny him? "Besides, aren't you the one who is glued to his phone once again?" He was smiling smugly and the Portuguese threw the towel on his face.

"Shut it. I still can't believe the three of you went on my back like that." Tyki glared at him and the ginger sighed, both of them seemingly having forgotten about the girl next to them.

"They did it for you, man. And she actually threatened Al onto letting her in." He told him as he threw him the towel back. "And it's not like it didn't work." Tyki looked away and Lavi smiled, now sweetly before reaching for his hand, placing his whiter one on top of the tanner one. "It did work, right?"

"Yeah…" He reluctantly admitted.

"What are you two talking about!?" Road exclaimed, frowning at both of them.

"Secret." Lavi told her. "Are you done with this?" She shook her head and went back to her Latin homework.

As Road worked on it and Tyki read a book on butterflies, his mind started to wander to two weeks ago, just three days after the guys had left to Liverpool.

He was working with Mimi on the bar, Neah having asked her to assist them as a waitress once more until they got back because Lavi alone could not deliver the service their customers were used to and expected on his own. It was a normal night, the place was crowded, as always, but most of them were their regular rich kids that knew that if they so much caused trouble the bouncers would kick them out, no matter who they were. So he had been surprised when a new blonde guy stepped in, wringing his hands together and looking everywhere, as if he was looking for someone.

"Can I help you?" He asked, arching an eyebrow as he refilled a few glasses with shots.

"I uhm… I'm looking for... Allen?" He said. "He told me to come to you and ask for him."

"Allen? Well, he's not here right now. Who are you again?"

"My name is Link. Howard Link."

Lavi sighed, of course his lovely boyfriend would have to be away when the fucker decided to come. "Alright, stay here for a second." He walked out of the bar, went to Tora. "Hey, I need to go get Tyki can you make sure no one starts stealing bottles or anything?"

"Sure man. That's what my job is anyway." Lavi patted him on the arm before he headed to the door.

"Hey Skin, Maa, I need one of you to come with me." He told them.

"What for? What about Tora?" Skinn questioned.

"His guarding the bar! Look, I really need one of you to stay with Jazz at the Poker room!" He was getting a bit anxious now, but Link could walk away any minute now and he would probably never come back if he didn't see Tyki today.

"Okay, okay… I'll go." Maashima said, stepping in with him and following him. "Now, how about you tell me what the fuck has gotten your panties in a twist?"

"Remember how Tyki said he liked someone?"

"You mean when Tricia asked us to leave them alone?" Lavi nodded. "Then sure."

"Well, the guy and Tyki had a fall out and he's here to apologise, so I need Jazz to take over the Poker and you to watch them." He quickly explained and the man nodded, understanding.

They reached the door and Lavi simply opened the door. "Tyki, a second please." He said and the Portuguese frowned, but nodded for Jazz to take over as Maashima stepped inside.

"Something wrong?" He asked. It wasn't unusual for people to tease Lavi about his patch or his sexual orientation, but most of their regulars knew better than to mess with any of the staff, but there was also an asshole looking for trouble. And he had promised Allen he'd take care of Lavi while he was in Liverpool.

"Someone's here for you." The ginger said.

"No one ever visits me during work-time, they know I can't step out. You know that." He was eyeing him, suspicious.

"Yeah… But really, I think you should talk with them." He replied. "Even if it's just five minutes, you should hear them out." He said. He was trying his hardest to not let his body betray him.

"Ok, fine. Just tell whoever it is to make it quick." He grumbled. "I'll be at the dining room."

"Alright." He smiled at him before walking away, watching him go in the back and into the house. "Hey, follow me."

"He'll see me?" He seemed ridiculously happy and hopeful just by that. The baker stood up and followed him through the crowd.

"He doesn't know it's you. All of them are extremely proud so I just didn't want to ruin your chances to talk it out." They started to go up the stairs when the American stopped. "Look, I may be not as intimidating as Allen and Tricia and I don't want to be, but that doesn't mean I won't set Allen free on you if you hurt Tyki again."

"Set him… free on me?" He was looking at him, confused. "What's your relationship with him?"

Lavi smiled, his head cocked to the side and his eye closed. "He's my boyfriend." He simply stated, but Link knew what this implied. It implied that Allen would do anything Lavi asked him to do. Especially if it involved punching someone.

"Oh." He looked down for a second before squaring his feet and shoulders. "I'm not here to hurt him again. I'm here to make things better. To be better. For him." Lavi nodded and opened the door.

"First door on your left." He told him before shoving him inside and shutting the door.

He headed back to the bar and resumed his job, calming the few angry customers at his absence.

"Is everything alright?" Toraido questioned.

"I hope so." He smiled and the other one nodded, understanding he wasn't going to say anything else.

An hour later, when they had already closed and only the VIP regulars were still inside and leaving, he spotted Link going back out, head down and his hands in his pockets. Lavi was about to call for him when a very angry Portuguese was right on his face.

"You. Come with me. Now."

He blinked before following the Southerner into his room. He knew Tyki wouldn't hit him, not after what had happened to him but that didn't mean he wasn't going to get yelled at.

"You knew. You knew about him. How?"

"Seriously Tyki? Allen tells me about almost everything, of course he'd tell me about you." He sighed and sat on the bed, looking at the man, tiredly. "He was just worried about you, so I told him to tell me, to ease him."

The elder sat down next to him, staring at the floor. "Did you also know about him and Tricia going to see him?"

"Yeah. We uh… We hadn't planned for Tricia to go, too. She just threatened him to take her with him or else she'd…"

"She what?"

"She'd tell him how he had gotten his cut in the arm." He rubbed his eye before looking at him. "I'm sorry we did it without telling you, but you wouldn't have let us. You are far too proud for that, you'd have told us that you had gotten over him or some nonsense like that. So yeah, we went behind your back. Was it right? Probably not. Do we feel guilty? Definitely not." He stood up and flicked him on the forehead. "You needed to move on, and you couldn't do so without knowing why he acted that way on the first place."

"And you say they are devious. You may be a Hufflepuff, but you are just as manipulative as them."

"Perhaps. But I cannot act scary like they do. I'm not sure which one of them terrified him the most, Al or Tricia." Tyki did chuckle at that, at least. "He… He didn't hurt you again, did he? Because I told him I'd sent Al after him if he dared to."

"He… told me. About Tokusa and everything. I know it's my fault but I didn't really think he'd take it like that. I had always told him I wasn't looking for anything serious." He frowned before looking up. "I guess I had it coming." Lavi didn't reply to that, because he was right: he had had it coming. "He begged for a second chance."

"What did you say?"

Tyki looked away, blushing faintly. "I told him he'd have to work for it, but that I wasn't going anywhere any time soon."

"That's good." He bumped him in the shoulder. "I'll leave you alone. I'm going to sleep."

"You are staying today?" He had been going back to the apartment he shared with Kanda, but he was too exhausted to drive.

"Yeah. I don't think it'd be a good idea to take the car right now. So good night." He smiled and left, going to his and Allen's room.

End of Flashback

"Lavi. Lavi!" He blinked and looked at Road, that was handing him her notebook. "You alright?"

"Yeah, spaced out for a bit, don't worry." He flashed her a smile before going through her work. "Hey, that's perfect!" He exclaimed before giving it back to her.

"Really?"

"Yeah, no mistakes!" He grinned before standing up and going to get something to drink, his mind still half in his memories, but he was just glad Tyki and Link had another shot at being together.

"Can I have a glass of scotch?" Lavi whirled around when he heard the question, his eye lighting up.

"You are back!" He leaned over the bar and kissed him, his hands quickly losing themselves in his white hair. "I thought you'd arrive later on."

"Mai and I may or may not have stepped on the gas pedal a bit too much." He replied as he sat down on a free booth.

"I would say you'd get a speeding ticket, but you probably won't, so why even bother." He said as he served him the scotch and Allen just grinned cheekily. "Oh, and also, if I were you or Tricia, I'd stay the hell out of Tyki's path right now."

"Ugh. He's mad?"

"Yeap. Didn't like it that you two went and acted on his back. But it worked, so he's not going to kill you. Much." Allen sighed and put his head on the bar, just to have Lavi smack him lightly. "Don't fall asleep in here."

"Not tired." Lavi only smiled and kissed the top of his head before going away to serve the few people still in the club.

He liked seeing his boyfriend like that. He had never seen him happier, livelier. Lavi had been skittish the first week or so, but just like he had expected of him, he had gotten the hang of it really quick. He moved with total fluidity inside the bar, not bumping with anything.

"Need a bib?" He looked at his sister as she sat down next to him.

"Shut up Mai." She snickered. "Do you think Neah will kill us?" He questioned.

"Most definitely. Tricia, too." She replied. "Hey ginger, give me a shot of vodka."

"Oh, hey pixie." He came back and served her the clear liqueur shot before refilling his boyfriend's. "Where are the others?"

"Probably still in the car." Allen replied.

"Didn't y'all leave together?" Lavi leaned against the bar and they both nodded, glasses in hand and glancing at each other. "Alright, I'm going to bite into it. How long did it take you two to get here?"

"A bit under three hours." Maitora replied way too proudly. "We broke a new record!" The albino high-fived her.

Lavi frowned and turned away: he knew Allen liked dangerous things, but was it really necessary to take such risks with a car? After what happened to him he had thought his boyfriend would be a bit more conscious about it.

"Bunny?" Allen reached for him, but he just pulled away; he was so mad at him right now.

"Not now." He turned around and went to the other side of the bar, whipping a glass that was already clean.

The albino frowned and stood up: everyone had been walked out by Tora by now, so they were the only ones left. The handywoman simply shrugged and walked to her other brother, who was asking her how was the new club.

"Lavi?" The ginger promptly ignored him so the DJ snatched the glass away. "What is it?"

"Really? You don't know?" He growled before slamming his hands down.

Allen frowned, they had been fine until Maitora said they had gotten here fast and…

"Allen D. Marian-Campbell! Maitora D. Campbell!" The albino jumped when Neah's voice boomed through the place. "If you two ever pull something like that again, I swear to God I'll ground you both for years!" Oh man, he was mad. They had seen him like that very few times and either of them wanted to be the targets of his fury. "You could have killed yourselves going at that speed!"

As soon as those words left his mouth, Lavi growled and whirled around, leaving the club and going to their room, slamming the door closed.

Oh. So that was it. He was right. Allen bolted right after him, opening the door.

"Babe." He climbed on the bed and cupped his face.

"Oh. So you've figured it out?" He tried to free his face, but the DJ didn't let him, tightening his grip on his chin. "I seriously thought that you of all people would be more aware of the danger of going too fast in a car! Fuck Allen!" He pressed the back of his hands on his eye.

"I…"

"Shut it! I don't want to hear it! What were you thinking? You cut down the time to get from Liverpool to here for about an hour! Did you think I'd be happy to know that the person I love the most had done such a stupid thing?" He was yelling now. "What if you had an accident? Where would I have to be now? Sitting on the waiting room and bawling my eyes out? I didn't get mad at you for Pimlico because I knew that you knew what you were doing, but driving is not always safe. I don't know what I'd do without you, can't you see that? You've given me a life that I had only been able to dream about and…" He shook his head angrily. "I don't want to worry about you doing something so stupid that could separate us forever before it's time!"

Allen didn't know what to say. He didn't think Lavi would be this mad just because of speeding a bit too much. He did understand why everyone was mad that him of all people, did that. They all had seen him after the accident, they all helped nurse him back to health, they all had been there for him and him not caring about his safety drove them mad. Just like Lavi, they had no problem with him getting in fights because they were very aware that he could take pretty much everyone head-on but while driving a million things could go wrong, and he often forgot that. Only when it rained he was wary of even taking the car.

"I'm sorry!" He cried out loud, his hands moving to the ginger's shoulders. "I know I should know better, I know y'all get mad at me when I do stupid things like that, but I can't help it. I couldn't! I wanted to see you so bad! And I wanted to get here before you went to sleep!" He rested his forehead on his chest, fisting his shirt. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again, I swear. Just don't be mad. Don't make me sleep somewhere else." He begged.

Lavi frowned and sighed: he wanted to stay mad at him a bit more, make him work for it, but those silver eyes were looking at him with so much worry and love and sadness that he could only bend and kiss his head. "You promise?"

"Cross my heart, hope to die." He shuffled on his knees and snuggled next to him. "I missed you so much all I could think of was seeing you." Allen mumbled, his cheeks taking a cute pink colour.

"I missed you too." Lavi smiled: he was still a bit upset with him, but being able to see him, to touch him and kiss him and hold him after almost a month was just sending the bad thoughts to the back of his mind. "Get changed, yeah?" Allen nodded and stood up to fish his pyjama pants from his drawer as Lavi did the same.

Once they both were undercovers, Allen quickly curled around him, tucking his head under Lavi's chin and nuzzling his neck. "Did something happen?"

"Not really. Just Tyki and Link, but nothing out of the ordinary. No one dares to say anything mean to me or Mimi, Tora scared them off. And you, too, I think." He smiled against the white mop of hair. "Let's talk tomorrow, yeah? I'm exhausted."

"Of course bunny." He kissed him on the lips and settled back down. "I love you." The ginger only hummed in reply before squeezing his side.

It didn't take long before Lavi was asleep and Allen smiled against him: he really had grown used to having his lover holding him like this when they were sleeping. He had felt alone those weeks apart and the only consolation he had was that Lavi was feeling like him.

"Good night sweetheart."

"Alright kids, remember we are opening back tomorrow." Neah said to all of his children and in-laws.

There was a chorus of 'yes' 'sure' and 'okay's as everyone replied. They had closed for three weeks and they had scattered over the world: Tricia, Sheryl, Tyki and Link had gone to Portugal. Wisely and Nalei to India to meet his aunt. Fiidora, Toraido, Maashima and Skinn had decided to visit Russia, the rest didn't know for what reason if there was one. Road and Maitora had stayed for the first two weeks in London at the elder's house and they'd joined the four in Portugal for the last week. Lulu and Mimi had decided to go to Norway. The twins had gone with Krory to Romania so the twins could meet his boyfriend's grandfather. Allen and Lavi had decided to go to Liverpool first so Lavi could meet Mother, a woman that helped Cross out back in the day and someone Allen held dear to his heart, then Ireland to visit Cross at his hometown and then Australia. They had also stopped in France to visit Lavi's grandfather, whom he had met back in Christmas.

The man was strict and cold as fuck, but Allen had seen how his expression had softened when they approached him and Lavi hugged him, dropping on his knees. The old man had seemed wary of him and his looks, but by the end of his three-day visit during the previous Christmas he had warmed up to the albino when he saw how much his grandson laughed around him and how much he was cared for, he didn't need to worry about him being unhappy and depressed as he had been a few months back.

They spent the day cleaning and putting everything back into place, each to their station with the three bouncers, Mai and Wisely helping them around.

"Hey bunny." Allen sat down on a stool in front of him and Lulu.

"Hey." He smiled at him. "Are you done already?"

"Yeah. Wise helped me sort all the CD's and wires." He replied and took a glass and the first bottle of scotch he spotted, pouring himself a glass.

"You better be washing that, Al." Lulu pointed out.

"Of course!" He grinned before sipping it. Lavi shook his head before snatching the bottle out of his reach. "Hey!"

"Sorry, but we still need that for tomorrow." Allen pouted at him. "Will I make it better if I give you a kiss?"

"You shouldn't even ask this." The ginger chuckled and kissed him on the lips, moaning low on his throat when Allen forced his tongue in his mouth. "Hm… Much better." He replied, licking his lips. "Do you want to sleep here or at my house?"

"Your house sounds awesome." He kissed his nose before putting a few more bottles in their place.

Allen smiled behind his glass. He was going to do it. He was going to ask him today.

A couple of hours later, everyone was on the parking lot as all of them had decided to leave to their houses for the night before reopening.

As soon as they arrived, Lavi went to take a shower as Allen made a quick dinner for them, consisting of salad with smoked salmon.

By the time he had served them, Lavi was coming down the stairs, clad in his pyjamas and a towel around his neck, his ginger hair falling on his eyes in a way Allen was not used seeing, since Lavi usually pushed it back with a hair clip or a bandana or whatever he had around that would serve his purpose of not getting hair in his eyes.

His eye patch was also missing, which Allen would say was his greatest accomplishment in their year-and-something of dating. He had been reluctant at first and it was usually him who would untie it for the ginger, placing a small kiss there for the first few weeks. After a couple of months Lavi would do it himself, but just occasionally. After the beating, though, he had started to do it more often until it came to the point that he would just take it off when they were alone indoors. He would usually leave it next to their keys by the door and wouldn't touch it until they got out of the house again or people came by.

"You really look good with your hair down." He pointed out as they sat down.

"Yeah?" Allen hummed in agreement as he picked the olives off his boyfriend's plate. "I guess I'll wear it this way more often, then."

"I'd like that. But not at work, I don't want people flirting with you."

"As if I had eyes for anyone who isn't you." Lavi replied, rolling his eyes and Allen grinned before kissing his cheek.

They ate in silence, knees brushing from time to time until they finished and sat down on the sofa, Allen quickly molding his body against his lover's.

"I want to ask you something." Allen suddenly mumbled.

"Hm? What is it?" The albino didn't reply immediately, instead he occupied himself with the hem of the shirt, fumbling and pulling on a loose thread. "Sweetheart? Is there something wrong?" The DJ shook his head. "Alright, then what?"

"I know we talked about it a few months back and we said to wait but… Would you move in with me now?" He questioned, not meeting his eyes. "We've hit the one-year mark now and we are practically together all the time so I thought that maybe… Now you'd be fine with us living together? I mean, I can wait but… You know what? Forget I asked, I should have waited a bit more, I'm just impatient and I should think things more thoroughly…"

Lavi chuckled and kissed the star on his forehead. "You are rambling." That made Allen shut his mouth and look up at him. "And don't decide things for me, yeah? I'm moving in, of course I am. I love you too much to not to and, as you said, we are always together."

"Really? You want to?" He looked up at him.

"Didn't I tell you already? I plan to spend the rest of my life with you, love. Of course I want to move in with you! Nothing would ever make me happier than this... Besides marrying you, of course."

Marriage? Lavi wanted to marry him? Did he really love him that much? "Marry?"

The ginger smiled and kissed him on the lips, sweetly, his tongue gently mapping his mouth. "Yeah, marry. Unless you don't want to?"

Allen shrugged. "I had never really put too much thought into it, but I would do it if you wanted to."

"That would make me the happiest man alive. But in a few years, yeah?" The albino nodded.

"Of course." He grinned and hugged him "God, I love you so much."

Lavi squeezed him. "I love you too, Allen. You are the best thing that ever happened to me." The albino purred and kissed his throat before nuzzling it. "Bedroom?" He hummed and Lavi scooped him up; working at the club had a great side-effect: he was getting stronger. Not as much as Tora, Maa, Skinn or Allen himself, but enough to carry him around.

Once there he left him on the bed and kissed his cheek before giving him his pyjamas. Allen cuddled against him again and the ginger pressed a kiss on his head.

"I'll tell Yuu tomorrow, I guess." Lavi told him.

"Yeah. You'll have to arrange the papers, right?" The elder nodded. "He… He won't be against it, will he?" He bit his lip: sure, he didn't like the Japanese but he was an important part of Lavi's life and if he were to be against it... He didn't think Lavi would listen to him in that regard, but one could never tell.

"Nah babe. He'll play the part, just like you'll do because that's how you two work. He doesn't hate you, you know that. You two are too similar and that's why you clash so much, but he likes you or else he wouldn't have let you by my side."

"As if he could stop me." Allen mumbled already half asleep.

"Yeah, yeah. Now hush and sleep. Good night."

"Good night." He sighed and burrowed further into Lavi's warmth and tangling their legs before he started to fall asleep.

The redhead stayed awake a bit longer, his fingers running through the white mane. He really couldn't be happier right now: he had a job he loved, a great pack of friends and the best lover he could have ever hoped for and now he'd truly have a place to call home. He could ask Allen if he wanted to go home instead of 'your house'. He felt slightly sad because he wouldn't be living with his best friend anymore, but still the happiness overshadowed it.

He grabbed his cellphone and opened their WhatsApp group and texted: How does brunch sound for tomorrow? We have something to tell you, nothing bad, don't worry.

Lena-lady: Sounds good for me.

Nalei: Wise and I are also coming.

Alma: Count me in too.

Yuu, are you coming or not?

Yuu-chan: Yeah, whatever. And stop fucking texting at 3am.

Lavi snickered before switching the device to flight mode and leaving it on the nightstand, cuddling his lover closer.

"So, what's that so important thing you had to tell us?" Alma questioned once they had food in front of them and that made everyone look up at them.

"Right to the chase, huh?" Allen mused.

"What can I say? I'm a curious creature." He replied.

"C'mon, don't stall, what is it? I've been thinking about it non-stop since you sent that message!" Lena whinned.

"Alright, alright." The ginger said as he grabbed his boyfriend's hand. "I'm moving in with him."

Silence fell over the table before Lenalee squealed and hugged them both, Nalei and Alma quickly joining in the hug. Once they freed them Wisely only grinned.

"You already knew, right?" Lavi sighed.

"Yeah. He told us a couple of weeks ago." Because of course Allen did, they really had near to no privacy between them, but he was growing used to it and he didn't really mind it.

Kanda had yet to say anything, but when Lavi smiled sheepishly at him, he glared at the DJ. "Listen here moyashi, if you so much as think of hurting him, I'll make your life a sorry one."

"Didn't I tell you already that I would never hurt him, Bakanda?" Allen growled back as his arm circled his boyfriend protectively.

"You better don't." The ginger chuckled and kissed Allen on the temple before hugging his best friend.

"He won't hurt me Yuu, stop being so harsh." He mumbled to him and the Japanese nodded shortly. "You okay with it?"

"Of course. That's what you wanted right? To go live with him?" Lavi nodded. "Well, then I've got nothing to say."

The elder kissed his cheek before ducking away and wrapping an arm around Allen's shoulders as he started to argue with Wisely about this and that.

A couple of days later Cross and Tyki had volunteered to help them move everything from the condo to Allen's… no, to their house.

Lavi and Tyki were inside starting to unpack as the other two brought the last of the boxes. "You are happy." Cross pointed out, stating the obvious.

"Of course I am! We are living together from now on! He can call it his home too!" He was beaming like a kid in a candy store.

"I'm glad to see you've finally found the happiness you deserve, son." He messed his hair, smiling.

"And I'm happy you found yours. Also Tyki." He kissed his cheek before hugging him. "I'm scared." He mumbled.

"Hm? Of what?" They sat down on the stairs, a heavy arm wrapped around lithe shoulders.

"Messing up." He mumbled, playing with a patch of grass at his feet. "I don't want to lose him. Ever. I don't know what I'd do if he left me because I hurt him somehow."

Cross sighed before squeezing him to his side. "Listen here and listen good, ok? That man in there loves you to no end, anyone can tell you that. And for him to stop loving you? You'd have to mess real bad and if you want my opinion, the only thing he would never forgive you, would be if you cheated on him."

"I'd never cheat on him!" Allen exclaimed, offended.

"You better don't, kitten." Lavi stepped behind them and sat down next to him, kissing his head and hugging him. "But he's right, you know? I'd forgive anything you did, anything but cheating."

"I'd never do that to you! You are too important for me to even think of treating you like that." He frowned at him and Lavi chuckled, smiling at Cross when he stood up and went inside with Tyki.

"Right back at you, love." He kissed him on the mouth, his hands resting at the cool steps as Allen's cupped his face.

When they split up the albino beamed before standing up and yanking him to his feet. "I know I've told you this before but... you really are the best thing that ever happened to me. I feel truly blessed to have you by my side." He told the barman.

"Aw Allen…" He hugged him tightly, nuzzling his hair. "I feel the same way, you know? You have made me the happiest I have ever been." He hugged him and kissed his forehead, his fingers playing with the matching bracelet on his lover's wrist.

"Hey pombinhos, get the hell back inside and help us with your stuff instead of slacking off." Tyki yelled from the balcony.

Allen looked up and glared at him. "I'll remind you of that when you and Link move in together!" He hollered, effectively shutting the Portuguese up. "Heh, mentioning them together always works."

"You are evil." He started to go into the house, the DJ following suit saying that Tyki had it coming for being an ass or something along those lines as the Southerner yelled back something.

Lavi laughed and thought that this, this right there, was life to its fullest and that he'd never give it up to anybody or anything. This was everything he had ever wanted, or more and if he had to get on his knees and pray to someone above to be able to keep, he'd do it in a split second.

"Babe, what are you doing? C'mon!" Allen tugged him and kissed him on the lips. "Welcome home, Lavi." The albino whispered against them, beaming before going to help Tyki with a heavy box. He just stood there, watching them as he fished his phone and called his grandfather to tell him the good news.
