2:Order of Love

Chapter2:What's Happening?

Lavi's POV

"Argh!My head's breaking!"I groaned gripping onto my head tightly. I forced myself to get up and take a shower to wash away the hangover and the smell of alcohol. I dressed quickly with my uniform and scarf but temporarily left my hair down for I was too lazy to put on my bandana. Instead, I placed it inside my pocket. I put on some body spray to make me smell more hunky and NOT of alcohol. As I was locking the buckles of my boots, I saw a piece of paper on my bedside drawer. Finishing the buckles, I grabbed the paper and read it.

My eyes slowly widened in realization and shock."Shit. Stupid alcohol! What am I supposed to do now? I can't possibly just back out considering that I started this bet."I smacked myself on the head for not being able to control my mouth when drunk.

"My brothers will surely punish me hard if I back out of this shit. Besides, I don't have any good reason for backing out. "

Another smack on the head.

I sighed in defeat and exasperation."I don't have any choice. I should just comply with this stupid bet I made last night." I folded the paper and placed it inside my other pocket before walking out of my room and headed to my target destination.

Lenalee's room.

Lenalee's POV

"Yawn."I stretched my sleepy muscles and pushed myself out of bed. Grabbing my exorcist uniform and a towel I proceeded to do my morning routines. It took me a full hour to finish having a refreshing shower, brushed my teeth and combed my hair. I walked out of my bathroom fully dressed with my uniform and my dark boots on. Then, I went in front of my full length body mirror to comb my hair more, tying it up on my usual twin ponytails. Once being content on how I look, I smiled at my reflection. I opened my drawer to spray my favorite perfume on.

It smelled like sweet jasmine.

Smiling once more, I skipped out of my room.

Lenalee was walking down the corridor heading to the cafeteria when she saw some familiar red head heading her way.

'Lavi? Why is he heading this way? There's nothing on this part of the tower but rooms.' Lenalee thought.

"Lavi!" She run up to meet him. "Good morning Lavi! Why are you heading this way? Going to your brothers' rooms?" She asked. But what Lavi did was very unexpected. He bent down a little to meet her eye level, and using his three fingers, he lifted Lenalee's face to be faced directly on him as he let his warm breath touch her face.

"I was actually heading ta your room to fetch you for breakfast. Looks like you had a pretty good beauty sleep. " He said huskily. He emphasized the word 'beauty' as he smirked.

Lenalee blushed deeply because of the close distance between their faces, his hot breath caressing her face and the other meaning of his words. She eyed him with shocked eyes and went speechless.

'What the hell am I doing?' he asked himself.

*Flirting?* His subconscious answered sarcastically.

'I know what it's called okay? What I mean is why am I doing this to Lenalee? Of all girls I'm doing it to my best friend!'

*Because you want to win the bet.*

'But this is Lenalee we're talking about! I should approach her in a different way and not this kind of direct flirting! She's so innocent and all. I shouldn't be doing this!'

*Then don't.*

'But what about my brothers? And the bet? And the punishment?'

*Why did you even chose her? The bet says the most beautiful girl in the Order. Does that mean you think of her that way?*

'No! I mean yes. Yes of course! You should know that too right?'

*Of course I do. I just want you to realize something.*

'What something?'

*Something you kept inside us. Or rather just you. Cause I'm well aware of it and I'm not hiding it. I kept telling you and giving you signs since before, considering that you're the conscious mind and the one acting everything out, but you won't listen to me. You kept on pushing the truth away and hiding it in me. I'm only the subconscious so I can only give you advice and signs, but to tell you the truth, I know what we are and what we truly feel more than you do.*

'You're way too deep man. I can't understand.'

*You do. You always did. I am you so you will eventually understand everything if you let me interfere at times. What you need to do now is to act the way you always do around her, but be more open to what you need to do. You don't have to act like the stupid facade of a playboy you are.*

'Fine. I'll listen to ya sub-buddy. Since you sounded pretty smart.'

He went back to reality and looked at Lenalee. He jerked back when he noticed the close distance between them. He blushed a deep shade of scarlet.

"Lavi? Is something wrong? You're acting very strange." Lenalee asked shyly, her face still flushed. Lavi chuckled nervously as he scratched the back of his head.

"Er.. N-Nothing! I-I mean yes! I had a bad hangover that's why!"

Lenalee stared at him a little wide eyed. 'Wow. This is so unlike Lavi. I mean, what he did awhile ago was way more unlikely but, blushing and stuttering? What a really bad case of hangover!'

"Is that so? You must feel really awful about it. Are you feeling okay now?" She asked worried about her best friend. Lavi blushed more when he saw Lenalee became so worried about him.

'What the hell? Why am I blushing so much? Of course she will be worried cause she's my damn best pal! This is so not like me! Is this what sub-buddy told me about him interfering?'

"Uhm.. No. I mean yes. I guess I'm quite fine now. And I'm sure about it so no need to worry!" Lenalee was still worried though. She looked at Lavi inspecting him. Then she spotted his bandana peeking from his uniform's front pocket. She smiled when she saw it.

'If he has a hangover, he shouldn't let his hair down like that. It'll make him feel hot.'

She swiftly snatched the piece of cloth from his pocket. She stood on her tip toes and started placing the bandana on Lavi's head. She didn't realize the close distance of their faces at first for she was too focused on fixing the bandana to make Lavi feel better. As for poor Lavi, he was too focused on their awkward position. Since Lenalee was standing on her tip toes, she doesn't have complete balance so he have to support her weight by placing both his hands on her waist so she wouldn't fall. And the soft touches of Lenalee's hand on his hair wasn't helping him.

"There! Now you look much more fresh. Not that you look dirty awhile ago, but I thought your hair would make you feel warm and uneasy." She said before looking down at Lavi. She too blushed when she noticed how close she was to his face. She realized that the warm tickling feeling she felt on her nose was from Lavi's even breathing. They stayed at that awkward position for a few more moments until Lavi let her go.

"Uhmm... So, we're going to the cafeteria now?" Lavi said not making eye contact. Lenalee could only nod in response.

Along the way, the two remained silent and trapped in their own worlds. Lavi was walking silently with his feet taking him to the cafeteria on its own for it already knows the way. They arrived at the cafeteria and saw Allen and Kanda already eating and seated so far away from each other. Allen saw them first for he was facing the entrance. He smiled brightly at both of them.

"Lenalee! Over here!" He said waving happily and gesturing for them to sit. They both went to their group's usual table.

"Good morning Lenalee! Had a good beauty sleep? I bet you did since you look more beautiful than ever."Allen complimented.

"Uhm. Thank you for the compliment Allen? Did something happened last night? It's quite unlike you to say those kind of things. Kinda more like Lavi's words."

"Nothing happened. Just thought you deserve being complimented." he winked at Lenalee who blushed at the action. "Here, I already ordered your favorite breakfast."Allen pointed at the tray sitting next to his.

"Wow! Fruit salad and chocolate cake! Thank you Allen!" Lenalee thanked Allen sincerely.

"No problem Lenalee! Anytime! Would you like to sit beside me please?"Allen asked politely but eager. Lenalee nodded happily and sat down beside him. Lavi became a little annoyed when he saw Lenalee blush because of his brother.

"How come I don't get my food ordered already?" He whined as he tried to get Lenalee's attention away from Allen.

"Why? Can't you get it by your own? Didn't know you became lame overnight bro. And if you're going to ask why I did it for Lenalee, I think you know the reason."Allen gave Lavi the look.

Lavi just grunted and ordered food for himself. He perfectly knew that Allen has a liking to Lenalee and was now using the bet they made as an excuse.

'Allen really is a nice guy. But he can turn dark when it comes to specific matters.'

Lavi came back at the table with his own tray of food. He noticed Kanda silently eating and not making any moves to Lenalee.

'Is Yu going to back out? He's not doing anything.'

"What are you staring at me for rabbit?" Kanda glared angrily at Lavi. He chuckled nervously in response.

"Nothin'. Just thinkin' why you're being so quiet. You ain't shy now were you?" Lavi smirked meaningfully at Kanda who just grunted back. Lenalee stared at Lavi like he was some kind of an idiot.

"What do you mean Lavi? Kanda's always like that." she stated matter-of-factly.

"Don't worry about me Lenalee. I can handle this stupid rabbit by myself. You don't need to waste your voice for a trash like him." Kanda said while twitching violently. He was clearly not used to this kind of gentle talking. Now Lenalee is so damn suspicious. Of all people she knows that Kanda would NEVER ever say things like that.

"I don't get this, really! What's happening here? You guys are acting different, and now you are talking about things that was not making any sense. Would someone explain this please?" She said with clear suspicion.

The three exorcists gulped in fear.

If Lenalee would ever know about their little bet, she would surely hate them for toying her feelings. Not that they know that they were actually toying her with what they are doing, they just know that she would hate them big time.

"There's nothing wrong Lenalee. We were just playing."Allen blurted out but abruptly stopped when he realized what he just said. The other two looked at him murderously.

"Playing? What exactly are you playing?"She crossed her arms as she looked at them sternly. She had a little idea but was not sure about it.

"It's nothing much Lee-lee. We were just playing a silly game! The name of it was: The Playboy and Gentleman's game. Yeah, that's it!" Lavi quickly thought of a possible excuse. Good thing his mind was already trained to make up good excuses when Panda caught him 'sleeping'.

Yeah, there's an old panda working in the library and he works for him for extra money.

"Huh? There's no such game Lavi. And if there was really something like that, what was the rules then?" Lenalee was unconvinced. She knew the three were up to something nasty. They were always like that. They like playing games, making dares and pranks. Even the ever serious Kanda joins them for he said that the two practically drag him along, or blackmailed him.

Though it was obvious that he enjoys their evil games too.

Allen was definitely a nice guy but looks like Lavi's mischievousness was contagious.

Lavi thought for awhile before grinning brightly."The player will have to choose if he wants to portray a gentleman or a playboy character. Or it can be both! The act will have to last for as long as possible. It was like a last man standing. The one who lasted the longest will win, and as a prize, he can ask for any favor he wanted from the losers!"Kanda and Allen eyed him like he was a genius or something like that. Lavi just made a perfect cover up excuse so that no one will have any suspicions about their real objective.

Lenalee blinked twice before sighing. "Whatever. Just as long as you wouldn't hurt anybody. And that includes you three!"

"Suureee." the three boys said awfully slow as they looked into each others eyes with a mischievous smile plastered on their faces.

Momo-chan: Okay. So I personally do not like this one, the story as a whole as of now. I actually feel embarrassed writing this. I know for a fact that all of them are OOC but, well, I don't know. That's how it came out. And even if this the one out of all of my stories that I hate the most, I have a good plan for this. It's just that they needed to be very OOC as of now.

Sorry.

Still, reviews will be very much appreciated.
