Chapter 23 – Another Day In The Life

()()()

Allen Walker

The situation had improved.

Sure, Kanda was pushy, but he made sure to never overstep his bounds. He had me sleeping in the pack's bedroom again, and he would rest by me in his human form. Although I found it difficult to get to sleep with him like that, Kanda never really did anything aside from sliding an arm around my waist. A big difference was that he'd begun to remain more as a human when I was around, most likely to get me used to having him so close when we shared the same basic physique.

Then there were the kisses. They always came as surprise attacks when I least expected it; his lips were quick and sneaky, finding my own after a long day at school or when I was still groggy after just waking up in the morning. Afterwards, Kanda would then wait and quietly stare at me until I made a move. I did my best to pretend as if it hadn't happened, but he'd soon become unsatisfied with that and would do it over and over again unless I told him to stop.

To be frank, being around Kanda was exhausting. He wasn't normally a tiring person to be around, however… I was on guard around him more often than not, and my constantly-tense state was apparently wearing on me.

What I could only describe as 'displeasing' was the major sudden change in my treatment. It may have been a wolf thing – I wasn't too sure. All I knew was that by the time I'd stretched and yawned after waking, my clothes would be dumped on my lap before I could even get around to standing. Or after I finished making dinner, the food would be torn from my hands and Kanda would have someone else plate it all up. Kanda had also taken up the habit of walking unusually close to me now, and had even brushed my hair free of knots more than once.

His evasion of personal space aside, the sudden assistance wasn't the actual reason I was bothered. If anything, I was flattered. Embarrassed, maybe, but flattered nonetheless. The problem stemmed from that I had, until recently, been at what some would call the height of independence. The past couple years had seen me doing everything on my own, be it from earning my own wage to looking after the house. I had basically been alone for all this time, and thus was not accustomed to having someone almost constantly by my side and doing nearly everything for me.

I'd just have to get used to it. Knowing Kanda, he wouldn't be stopping anytime soon.

Hevlaska padded past like a ghost, her pale blue coat and her silent steps bringing a dumb half-smile to my face. I didn't know how those scientists had managed it, but she was stunning. Talking with her was impossible for me, but she never protested when I went to pat her or run my fingers through her fur.

My good mood was brought to a halt when I opened a higher kitchen cupboard to check if it was empty and multiple heavy packets fell out and smacked me in the face. Cursing beneath my breath, I rubbed my nose and crouched down to pick up the packet. It was soba. A quick glance up at the cupboard told me that there were even more packets crammed inside. This was Kanda's work, no doubt about it.

I tucked the packet under my arm and dragged myself up to the main bedroom to find the wolf in question. As expected, Kanda was there, lounging amongst the pillows and blankets with Lenalee, Lavi, Tiedoll and Komui. Allowing the disbelief to show on my face, I held up the packet. "Really? This much soba?"

Not a single one of the wolves shifted to answer my query. Instead, the small group just looked at each other and then dropped their heads back to their paws. I would have been a lot madder if their wolf forms weren't so adorable.

Well, the money was theirs anyway. I hadn't wanted them going through it so fast, but what they did with it was up to them. "Where's the receipt?"

At the prompt, someone finally moved. With a whine, Lenalee got to her paws and sauntered out of the room while I watched on with wonder as her muscles rippled beneath her fur and flesh.

I crouched down and stretched out my hand to muss the fur on Kanda's head. Although he didn't make a sound to tell me he was enjoying the treatment, he did tilt his head to the side to give me more room to work with. I would have continued too, had Lavi not butted in and demanded all my attention, which earned him a snarl from Kanda. The red wolf, being the big baby he was, then hid behind me and bumped my back with his head. "You guys are a real hassle."

Lavi whined and gently bit and tugged the fabric of my shirt. Looking at him earned me his puppy-dog-eyes, something made easy for him because he was an actual dog with the personality of a child. After giving in, I patted Lavi until Lenalee returned with a scrap of paper in her mouth. Her arrival saved me from her attention-seeking mate.

I took the slip from her, and when I read the words printed on that small slip of paper, I nearly had a mini heart attack. "You guys… spent over two hundred dollars on soba?"

…

Fou, who was in an oversized hoodie that hid her arms from the world, had been chosen to walk me to and from my latest meeting with Klaud. Lavi had been stupid and ate something he shouldn't have, so Kanda had to remain home to watch over his vomiting pack mate. Apparently having their Alpha around made them automatically feel at least a small percentage better. Due to this, it had been decided that their Alpha would not leave when a pack mate was so indisposed.

Narain had agreed to check in on Lavi to make sure he was alright. He should have stopped by while Fou and I were out.

While at the meeting, Klaud had scheduled another one. She wanted Kanda present for the next one. That made sense, what with him being the Alpha and leader of the pack. Getting him to agree was the same as getting the pack agree because the Alpha's decision was always final. That was just the way wolves worked.

"Sometimes I forget you're dogs," I told Fou, not meaning to come off as rude as I probably did. Hopefully she didn't take it offensively. All I'd meant was that they were often very similar to humans and it wasn't difficult for me to forget that we weren't the same species.

"I never forget that you're a monkey," Fou fired back. Luckily for me, there was no hostility clouding in her features.

I looked heavenward and squinted as the sun burned my retinas. "Touché."

Fou grumbled inaudible retort beneath her breath, one that I knew would be nothing short of rude.

"Pardon? I didn't hear you."

Fou blankly studied me with her piercing red eyes. Once finished, she huffed and jammed her hands in the big pouch-like pocket in her hoodie. "Idiotic midget."

My face contorted with surprise before I could stop myself. "That was unnecessary," I managed to civilly say, and a second later I gave in to my immaturity by adding, "Besides, out of the two of us, you're the most vertically challenged."

Although Fou didn't speak, I did see annoyance cross her face. Her forehead creased with the knitting of her brows.

I apologetically smiled and half-heartedly held up my hands in a placating manner. "I'm just pointing out a fact."

Without any warning, Fou swiped at me, and I barely stumbled out of her reach in time to avoid getting clawed. Those sharp claws poking an inch out of her thick sleeves were deadly and could most definitely do me much damage.

"That's dangerous," I calmly said, even though I didn't feel calm. I took several steps away from the she-wolf.

She sneered and cocked her head in a way that allowed her to look down her nose at me. "Only because you're so weak." Fou loomed closer, seeming thoroughly pleased that I was retreating. "That's why our Alpha made you an Omega."

I forced a fake smile onto my lips to hide how the information had stalled my brain. Omega? Was that my position in the pack? Did that mean I'd been labelled as one of the weakest? While I was physically weaker than the wolves, that still bothered me. I'd have to have words with Kanda if I made it home without Fou first maiming me.

How did I know that Fou would attempt to maim me? Well, with my mind in a bind and no witty response forming in my head, I instead resorted to action by reaching out and flicking her nose to pay her back for the teasing.

Fou's eyes snapped shut and she flinched away from me. Her furry wrist came up to rub her twitching nose. Those eyes of hers did not look happy when they reopened.

I took that as my cue to run before she really did try to kill me.

…

I had managed to hoist myself up onto the rear side of the roof and hide there for a while to avoid encountering the enraged Fou, who was still searching for me down below. My climb had been as silent as physically possible, mainly because I'd been wary of her heightened hearing. Being found by Fou would be a painful experience. Yes, I was romantically involved with Kanda, but I doubted that would keep her completely at bay.

So I sat. I waited, occasionally catching snippets of Fou's curses as she failed to locate me.

It wasn't so bad up here. The roof sloped triangularly in multiple places, and it was around where two of these slopes met that I hid myself. The sun warmed my face, enticing me and drawing my attention towards the sky. It really was pretty. The sky was wide and colourful, reminding me of the landscape paintings that hung up in museums, with their heavy frames and artist details. But this was much more breathtaking. It was more than the sweeping brushstrokes of colour on canvas. I could breathe in the scent of the forest behind me and feel the setting sun kiss my cheeks. I could feel the wind tease my hair and play with my clothes. I could watch the sky slowly change right before my eyes and see the clouds roll across the horizon and change hue. I could watch the pale moon ascend with the disappearance of the light. I could use more than just one sense to take it all in.

I leaned back and released a satisfied sigh, not at all bothered by the grooves of the roof tiles pressing against me. Instead of worrying or thinking about today, I allowed myself to bask under the evening sky and let my mind go pleasantly blank for the first time in a while. There were no bothersome thoughts. Just peace.

"Allen! Where are you?!"

Voces calling for me dragged me from my trance. There were more than just two or three, and I could detect worry in their tones.

I begrudgingly opened my eyes and yawned. How long I'd been up here? I squinted out at the sky; going by how the light pinks and oranges had turned to darker blues during my nap, I guessed an hour or two, at the very least.

That was when the tired me was faced with another dilemma: how was I supposed to get down from the roof without breaking anything? The conditions I'd climbed here in had been far superior to what they were now. For one, my limbs hadn't been tired from sleep. And second, it had still been light out then.

I groaned at my stupidity. This wasn't going to end well. Still, I had to get down.

Regretting the actions that had gotten me into this mess, I attempted to climb down. My hands felt around and grasped hold of whatever they could that would support me. Some agonisingly slow minutes later, a brief glance down told me that I was close enough to the ground that I wouldn't break anything if I fell, but it would still hurt like a bitch. My thoughts must have jinxed me. The tile I'd used to hold me as I tried to take my next step down came loose, and I screamed as I fell into the backyard. As I lay there, sprawled out on the dried grass and too sore to move, I cursed myself.

The next second saw half of the pack flooding outside in a mix of wolves and wolves-in-human-form. I saw Fou, and pathetically whispered, "Please don't hit me. I'm already in pain."

Fou crossed her furry arms and stared smugly down at me. "What happened?"

Grimacing, I haphazardly pointing up. "I fell off the roof and now I hurt everywhere."

I glanced at the roof, and then noticed that Kanda stood above me, giving me an eyeful of his junk. I was unimpressed with how close he was to my face, however that feeling was forgotten when Kanda grabbed my arms and yanked me up, treating me roughly for the first time since he'd kissed me.

Shocked and taken aback, I reflexively struggled to remove myself from his grip. "What are you doing?!"

"I'm going to spank you for putting yourself in danger," Kanda said dangerously while he concentrated on getting me on the grass.

My body tensed up and the hair on the back of my neck prickled. Although much of my fear resurfaced at the suggestion, I also ended up with the beginnings of a boner sitting awkwardly in my pants. "S-spank?!"

Instead of answering me, Kanda continued to attempt to bend me over, assuring me that I had not, in fact, misheard the idiot who called me his mate. One of his hands curled around my neck and shoved me into a bend.

Once the surprise was gone, I launched into a frenzy, lashing out with fists and feet to stop him from going ahead with his plans. Like hell I'd let this moron spank me. "Don't you dare!"

"Why are you fighting?" Kanda growled out while working to avoid and still my thrashing limbs. "This is how you punish humans."

"No! It's! Not!" I struck him every time a word left my lips, this time hoping I did leave some bruises. My heart pounded in its cavity, brought on by the mixture of fear and arousal that only made everything more confusing for me. "What the hell?!" I slapped him away when he reached for my wrist, relieved when he finally, finally gave up on bending me over. "Do you even understand what it was you were trying to do?!"

Kanda frowned and touched his hip, where one of my blows had landed. After that, he blinked at me blankly. "What?"

"You don't, do you?" I already knew answer to that. Kanda didn't understand. He couldn't. A shuddering breath rippled through me, and I covered my face. I had to compose myself. My bitter smile and eyes burning with the threat of tears were hidden behind my hands, which trembled slightly. I breathed out, and then in, and then out, and then it. "You idiot," I hissed at last, the tightness of my throat making it hard to say the words. I took more deep breaths, apparently needing not just two to calm down.

Kanda had meant no real harm. He hadn't. He just wasn't knowledgeable enough about my species. To be completely honest, when it came to the topic of human intimacy, I would rather he stayed that way a while longer.

After rubbing my temples, I went inside. My body hurt and my mind was a mess. This was too much.

Of fucking course Kanda just had to follow me. "I was punishing you for putting yourself in danger," he said, as if that excused his actions and would make me feel better. It didn't.

"Kanda." I made eye contact with him. "Where did you learn that?"

"The computer," he supplied without hesitation. Kanda's loose hair hung long and straight, and he pushed some of it over his shoulder to get it out of the way.

"I thought I told you that half of the stuff you see on-" My eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Wait." I didn't like where this was going. "What have you been searching up on the computer?"

"Something Lavi found on the internet."

My breath caught in my throat and my head snapped to the side so that I could scan the group of onlookers hiding by the couch until I found Lavi. "Why?"

"It directed me to the site while I was trying to figure out where you went at night." Lavi confusedly confessed. His normally-cheerful spirits were dampened; he could definitely sense my mood. "We all wanted to know."

I pulled off my gloves and tucked them into my pocket before hurriedly fumbling for my phone. It was a good thing that Narain was the last person I'd called. He was at the top of my Recent list. Once I'd pressed the green phone-shaped icon, I shifted in my spot while the call went through.

Sex in the City had just been the prelude. Lavi was quickly become a porn addict.

Narain took a long time to answer his phone, leaving me to my thoughts. Like how I had no idea what to do. What kind of guardian was I if I couldn't even keep them from porn? I'd probably have to activate safe search on any devices they had access to.

"Mm?" Narain's voice tiredly responded.

"Narain!" I held the phone to my ear like it was my salvation. He was there. It would be okay. Narain would definitely have advice or be able to help me out in some way. "We have a problem."

"What is it?" Narain asked, sounding a lot less tired. "I literally left less than an hour ago. What happened?"

"They were watching porn when I was at school! What do I do?!" Desperation gripped my heart as I awaited his answer. I did not watch porn. I did not know how to deal with this.

There was a pause that dragged on for so long it made me worry that the connection had been lost, but then choked laughter erupted on the other end of the line.

Though I was angered by his reaction, my desperation won out. "Narain!"

"Sorry, man." He snickered. "How'd you find out?"

I was anything but pleased with how unprofessionally Narain was taking this. He was a doctor, and I needed him. Why couldn't he be serious? This was serious. "Kanda decided to spank me as punishment for falling off the roof."

After another brief pause, there were sounds on Narain's end that sounded suspiciously like a person crying while laughing.

"Narain?" I said, glad that he wasn't actually here right now. If he were, I would have hit him. Preferably in the arm.

"I'm okay." His voice sounded amused. "He really spanked you?"

I glanced at Kanda, who still stood by my side. "Yeah. He's with me now. If you have any advice, could you give it? He doesn't realise what he did wrong, and I just don't know how to explain it."

Hopefully Narain would take on my request. I prayed he would.

"Put the phone on speaker."

Happy and comforted by his agreeance, I pressed the hands-free button. He was going to help me! Thank goodness.

"Okay, so Allen tells me that you guys have been watching porn." Narain was loud, and my speaker made his words a little crackly.

Lavi, with his head poking out from over the couch, asked, "What's wrong with doing that?"

"Ahm… It isn't exactly appropriate." The awkwardness that had crept into his tone was easy to relate to. "What I mean is, while most of you guys are technically old enough to be watching things like that, you don't get the implications…" A sigh made the constant static sound louder. "You only do that kind of stuff with people you're really intimate with. Like lovers. Mates. You shouldn't do it in front of other people. And not everyone likes that kind of foreplay. Spanking is an acquired taste."

I was aghast at how easily Narain seemed to be mentioning the kind of stuff I didn't want the wolves to know about just yet. There was no way they were ready for this. I would have voiced this and returned the conversation to one between Narain and I, but Kanda spoke first.

"What's foreplay?"

"It's like courtship that you do just before sex. You and Allen haven't gone that far yet, so he's most likely confused."

Kanda's stare landed on me. "Huh."

God, I hated the smirk in his voice. What I also hated was how Narain was still nonchalantly telling that idiot things he didn't need to know. Seriously, he had to stop. "If you keep talking, I'll hang up. I asked you to help, not to give him relationship advice."

That threat was made unfulfillable when the phone disappeared from my hands. Kanda held it high above my head with an arrogant look on his dumbass face because I couldn't reach my phone even when I got up on my toes. "Continue."

My mouth twisted as I gritted my teeth and spat out, "You arse!" He was making full use of his height advantage to keep me from having my way. "Give that back!"

"If you're going to try something like that on Allen, I'd suggest doing it when there's no one else around." Narain talked like there had been no interruption. "And don't try anything hard-core. You should only do what he's comfortable with." There was a short pause. "In case you were unaware, humans are fairly sensitive. If you're looking to try some stuff out right now, focus on his erogenous zones."

"Erogenous zones?" Kanda echoed, and I inwardly cringed.

"They're human pleasure-points that are weak to stimulation," Narain clarified further, his voice irritatingly amused. The urge to punch him in the arm grew tenfold. "The main ones on a male are the nipples, ears, the neck, thighs, the butt, and penis."

Kanda's eyes roved over all of those points on my body as Narain listed them, making a sinking feeling arise in my chest. Kanda would try something if he was told that. He'd try, he'd touch me in the places Narain had suggested, and he'd discover things he shouldn't. Kanda's touches had always been mostly innocent. He gave me kisses and put arms around my shoulders. He even hugged me at times. But things were different now. Kanda was looking at me in a new way.

I hardened my heart while my blood ran cold inside my veins. As of today, Narain had been downgraded because he was an asshole who had taught the group unnecessary information that I hadn't wanted them learning about just yet. With a scowl on my face and muttered curse, I grabbed the phone while Kanda's focus was on my body and cut the call. "Don't listen to anything he just said."

Before I could expand on that, Kanda's was already lifting the hem of my shirt. He wasted no time in pressing my nipple hard with his thumb, causing a fierce tingle to go shooting through me. My face reflexively scrunched up, but I managed to remain silent until he pinched and tugged my nipple with his fingers.

"Ah!" I couldn't help arching into the touch, and I instantly regretted the action once I saw how intently he looked at me afterwards. This was it for me. Once his interest had been captured, he wouldn't let something go.

As if to prove me right, Kanda flicked the bud, before his spare hand joined in the mistreatment of my erogenous zones. He twisted both, his stare fixed on my crumbling expression. "You like this?" He asked while he worked, his tone verging on monotone.

"N-no! K-Kan-ah! Not there!" Even I, in my middled state, was aware that I did not sound convincing. I doubted I looked it either, what with all my writhing and gasping. The stimulation I received from his toying with my nipples had turned me on to the point that fighting him with anything other than my weak verbal protests was an impossibility. "…that's…" I clamped my mouth shut when he pinched them again, silencing a small squeal that had threatened to escape. "No!"

Kanda's hands dropped from my body. He didn't look like he wanted them to, but they did. "Stop?"

My nipples tingled and the places his fingers had touched felt weird. My boner had become really uncomfortable. I groaned and gritted my teeth, staring only at the floor. I hadn't anticipated this. Giving up on what he desired just didn't seem like something he'd do. And yet, at the same time, it was just like him to wait for me.

Yu Kanda

This latest endeavour told Kanda that he had been right to label his mate an Omega; no other rank would suit such a sensitive and submissive being. He made an effort to be gentle when he forced Allen's back to the wall, all of his senses kept alert to monitor his mate's current frame of mind. His hands aided him in this, the left where the curve of the neck met shoulder so he could feel the boy's racing pulse, while the other slid down to grab Allen's butt. He wanted to know how far he could go before he was pushed away again.

For a moment, Fou was startled into only watching her Alpha and his mate, but then she growled at the rest of the pack and padded to the stairs. Their human would want privacy for this.

After another few seconds involving many glances shot at the two, the other wolves followed suit. There were some growls, but every one of them climbed the stairs and left their Alpha to his latest attempted conquest.

Allen's jaw was stiff and aching from the strain that came from keeping it so firmly clenched that no embarrassing sounds had the chance to escape. In hindsight, this had turned out to be the correct choice. Had he not initially been so intent on keeping quiet, the mouth having its way with his neck and the hand fondling his ass would have drawn out something he'd rather not have anyone hear. Stuck between his mind's insistence to flee and his body's craving for this contact to continue, Allen stayed put as his fingers attempted to grasp at the wall behind him. He'd been touched before, so he thought he'd known what was coming, but this was the first time he could remember feeling such bliss. This was the first time he wasn't sure if he actually wanted it to stop.

Despite how much his body enjoyed it all, Allen did subconsciously relax the instant Kanda's mouth left his neck. Even though he'd decided to do this, and even though he wanted it, the whole thing was still a nerve-racking experience. He was still afraid.

That fear was momentarily forgotten when a leg suddenly slipped between both of his and pressed him in exactly the place he'd been hoping would go unnoticed. His eyes went wide, and with a guttural groan Allen's hips lifted from the wall in an attempt to have him generate more delicious friction down below. He was mortified by how good it felt to grind himself against Kanda's leg.

The Alpha considered it a success that he'd managed to have Allen make another sound when the human seemed so opposed to it. Such sounds were proof that the Moyashi was feeling good; because of this, Kanda didn't see one sound as being enough. He wanted more, so when he realised what Allen was doing because of the constant panting and shifting of hips like a dog in heat, Kanda responded in kind by shoving his leg harder against his mate and using it to rub the spot that seemed to make Allen weak. Kanda would be lying if he said that the face Allen made in response didn't make him want to rip off his mate's useless clothes and find additional places that made the human boy even more of a mess.

Allen sucked in a breath as Kanda's nose touched his, and those deep blue eyes made him tremble even more. From the time that Allen had known the wolf, he'd discovered that Kanda was serious and headstrong. These personality traits were almost always present in his eyes and other features, and Allen found that the force of both while Kanda looked at him made his stomach flip and heat rush southwards. In his current state, the stare was too much.

Kanda could feel that the human's pulse was unbelievably fast, but Allen hadn't told him to stop yet. Talking that for the green light that it was, he removed his left hand from the human's neck and had it join the right. Allowing himself a brief smirk, the wolf squeezed his mate's butt through the human's trousers, well aware and anticipating the surprise that flashed across Allen's face. What pleased Kanda the most was when Allen's arms slowly came up to wind around his neck, the human actively participating for the first time since they'd begun. His heightened hearing helped him hear the boy's pounding heart, and their faces were so close together that he could easily see how large Allen's pupils had become.

He brought his lips back down to touch them with Allen's, his satisfaction growing when his mate did not require prompting to open his mouth, thus making it easy for his tongue to slip in. Although Kanda was clumsy, he was gradually getting used to deep kisses. As always, he was soft at first, but soon enough he was swept up by an intensity that made him rougher and wanting of more. While Kanda went along with what felt natural, he completely devoured Allen's lips, foregoing any and all conversation in favour of showering his mate's body with attention.

The French kissing meant that Allen was having a difficult time swallowing the drool pooling in his mouth, but he'd be damned if he let a single string of it escape. He had enough pride left to do that much, at least. And that wasn't the only thing he had; his obstinacy played a big part in keeping him from breaking down. Allen remained firm, refusing to give in to the panic clawing at his heart right up until one of Kanda's hands dipped past his waistband and plunged into his boxers. Before he could fully comprehend exactly how he felt about Kanda directly touching his ass, his hands were already on the Alpha's chest and he'd ripped away from his mate to plaster himself to the wall. Doing that barely decreased the distance between them, their bodies practically moulded together with Allen trapped between Kanda and the unyielding wall. Allen knew that his mate was the one in control, the fact made perfectly clear by the hands groping him and the leg pressing him in ways that left him wet.

Kanda automatically understood that he'd gone too far. He didn't complain, instead simply extracting his hand from the human's pants and leaning in for another kiss. To apologise for stepping over the line he'd been searching for, Kanda stopped pressing his leg against Allen's weak spot and instead cupped it with the hand he'd removed from the human's trousers. He palmed it through fabric, applying pressure even as Allen cried out against his mouth and his mate's legs wobbled. Resistance ceased. What Kanda grasped was now wet, the cloth damp from what his relentless attention had done to Allen.

When he ended the kiss, the Alpha knew that he was definitely on the right track. With only a small squeeze, Allen would moan and dishevel further, his grey eyes dulling as they became half-lidded and his pale face now pink from exertion. Kanda liked observing– he liked the sight of the human panting hard and glistening with a light sheen of sweat, the occasional bead sliding down from his temples or neck. Allen looked good like this. While Kanda did enjoy how his mate tended to fight in most aspects of their life together, having the human submit so wholly to him was a treat.

Allen was… exhausted. Emotionally and physically, he'd been put through the wringer. Kanda was groping his body in all manner of places, touching him in so many different ways that he barely had time to keep up. The experience was utterly terrifying, but… it made him feel incredibly valued. His partner had shown him respect by backing off and recalibrating his actions when necessary instead of forging ahead. The amount of care Kanda had displayed was considerable, so Allen couldn't bring himself to say it was over. His body begged for rest, desiring it above all else, and yet… he knew Kanda wanted to continue.

It was actually possible for Allen to allow Kanda to do as he wished, especially since his partner was currently faced with a golden opportunity: Allen's fear was slowly but steadily being dulled by his exhaustion. His mind grew foggy, impairing his cognitive functions. It had been a long day, and an even longer afternoon. If he gave his consent, he could deal with any regrets later and give the wolf this chance.

During Allen's period of indecision, Kanda never let up. By the time this registered to the weary human, his right earlobe already stung from being bitten and he could hear Kanda breathing in his ear. His stomach twisted at their proximity and position, but the shock was weaker than before. The moment his tingling lobe was kissed, Allen made up his mind. He tugged on Kanda's hair, doing his best to stare the wolf directly in the eyes while he huffed. "I don't… haaah… mind… if you… haah… play around a little…" He swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry. "Just… haah… leave… the clothes on..."

Kanda's hands instantly shot beneath the human's shirt. He mapped out the body beneath and explored every available inch, leaving Allen gasping and squirming from the oddly pleasant sensation of those cold fingers on his heated skin.
