Allen Walker always wanted to know why Kanda loved soba so much.

Allen never got to try soba while traveling with Cross, since he and Cross had only stopped in Japan once, and that was only for a day.

He always thought that the person's personality depicts on the type of food that he or she eats.

From that, he had concluded that soba was disgusting and spicy.

But it was worth a try, right?

"Hello, Allen-kun! Anything I can make for you today?" Jerry asked, seeing his favorite Exorcist.

"Um… Jerry-san, could I have a bowl of soba? I want to try it." Allen said with a small smile.

"Sure, Allen-kun! Anything else?" Jerry asked.

"No, I think that's about it…" Allen trailed off, as all the people's jaws in the canteen had dropped to the floor.

"Alright, Allen-kun! Coming right up!" Jerry said, turning back into the kitchen to cook the noodles.

Allen sat with Linali and Lavi at the table, and they eyed him curiously.

"Allen, are you alright? It isn't like you to eat only one thing." Linali said curiously.

Allen smiled at her, saying, "Kanda always eats soba, I wanted to know why he likes it so much. So I decided to try it myself!"

"Allen…" Lavi trailed off as Allen had snapped the chopsticks neatly in half. "Are you sure you know how to eat it?"

Allen smiled, "I've seen Cross eat it tons of times, but he never let me order it. Plus, I've used chopsticks a lot."

Then Kanda had gone in, and seen Allen eating, what, of all things? Soba. The stupid, idiotic Moyashi was eating soba, his precious 'staple' of life. Now, he probably thought, the stupid Moyashi was going to lower his soba to the lower levels, like sweets, for instance.

"Moyashi…" Kanda walked up to the boy, and Allen looked up.

"Oh, good morning, Kanda." Allen smiled.

"What are you doing?" Kanda seethed.

Allen smirked, "I'm eating soba, what else? I thought you would've recognized it, but then, I know how slow you react… so…" Allen efficiently snapped his chopsticks in his hand and tweaked Kanda's nose with it.

Kanda recoiled, and Lavi burst out laughing.

Allen started eating his soba, much to Kanda's annoyance. For some reason, just to spite him, he was slurping loudly, and spilling the soup… everywhere.

"Is this how sloppily you eat!?" Kanda demanded, slamming a fist down onto the table.

Allen smiled, "What does it matter to you? I thought you never liked watching people eat, much less me, of all people."

Kanda smirked, a look that told Allen to run, or die.

"You know what?" Kanda asked, inches from Allen's face.

"What?" Allen met Kanda's eyes with his own, and Kanda saw a heavy blush on the younger boy's cheeks.

In the background all the Finders were frozen, and Linali and Lavi were high-fiving.

"I tend to eat my soba with bean sprouts, if you would call them." Kanda said huskily, before closing the gap between the two boy's mouths.

A shrill scream broke the air.

"KYAAAAA!!"
