So... this is yet another LaviYuu thing... Saya's become quite the LaviYuu shipper :D this may or may not turn into a series, hopefully it will, but for now this is just based on one scene Saya just cant get out of her mind. So here goes something! Oh, and this takes place before Allen came to the Order, a little after Lavi joined.

Saya owns the play but not the actors, they belong to Hoshino-ka.

Rated K-ish... because a kiss doesn't call for an M rating.

1. Encounter

I know we decided on being "Frivolous and Friendly" while here but... things get so gloomy around here, I don't think these people know what "frivolity" is. And I don't feel like being friendly with a bunch of wound-up scientists. It looks like the only person near my age was that girl Lenalee from the funeral precession, and it didn't look like she was in any condition to be having fun. What's a Bookman-in-training to do when he can't stick to his assigned personality?

The red-head sighed, letting his body slump forwards as he walked out of the room that had been given to him and Bookman. The walls of the large room rose up at least 50 feet, and every inch of them was covered in books. The floor was covered in documents too. Lavi, with his insatiable thirst for knowledge and strong sense of curiosity, couldn't help but want to read through them all. But, as he was posing as a "Fun" person for the time being, he would have to go out and socialize with the other people in the building.

So with a forced expression of happiness that didn't seem at all forced, he waltzed out of the large control room, lacing his fingers behind his head. The young man walked down hall after hall, down to the dining hall; he had easily managed to remember the building's layout after spending a few weeks here, and looking at a map.

man it's only been a few weeks and already I think this place needs something new...

He stepped into the large room, the air filled with the chatter of Finders, and the clanging of silverware. Surprisingly, he saw the girl from the Funeral precession at one of the tables, eating quietly by herself.

well it looks like it's time to be frivolous and friendly...

He went through the long line of workers to get his lunch, and as soon as he was done, made his way towards the girl's table. Lenalee's face was bandaged; she had been part of the battle where so many lives were lost. He hair was up in pigtails, and she was in her exorcists uniform. Lavi thought she looked very cute like that.

"Mind if I sit here?" He asked, giving her a warm smile; well, that's what he was hoping it looked like. It seems he did a good job of that, for she nodded, giving him a much more sincere smile of her own.

"You're the new exorcist who arrived a few weeks back, Lavi, right?" She asked. He nodded, taking in what he found to be the most mouth-watering food he'd tasted in all his short life. Swallowing, he tried to resist the urge to shove the entire plate of food down his throat.

"Yea, that's me. And you're Lenalee, right? Nice to meet ya! Man I'm glad I'm not the only one around here who's my age!" Lavi went on, in a manner that would be expected of any average boy his age.

"Well there are a few others around our age too, but they're out on missions or they're training. Ge-ge1 said that one of the general's is bringing another new exorcist in today, who just finished some basic combat training. Would you like to go and greet him with me later?"

"Sure I'd love to," Lavi replied to her question, and then he continued to wolf down the pasta that looked too appetizing to resist any longer.

Lenalee and Lavi were waiting in the entrance hall for the new-comer and the General escorting him when finally, the Gate Keeper spoke, going through all the motions of identifying the pair as human and not Akuma or any of the other things they could've been.

The gate lifted, and there were four of them, two more than Lavi expected.

"Just how many new people did this General find?" Lavi asked Lenalee in a whisper.

"General Tiedoll already had two students, he's bringing in a third today. They've all been training together for a while now, apparently," She answered, as though she were reading it off of some mental document.

As the four grew closer, they each became more discernible. The tallest one was a man who looked to be getting on in years, with frizzy hair and thick-rimmed glasses, that settled on a crooked nose. He had a mustache and a barely-there beard, along with droopy eyes. His uniform was black with gold trimmings, and Lavi guessed he was the General. The next tallest was a rather burly young man with a square face and a nearly-bald head, except for the strange knot that stayed on top. He had a dark complexion and features a bit too small for his face, and a messenger bag that went with his black and white uniform. The shortest was a boy with a large nose and strange lines on his young face. His uniform made him look something like a court jester, and his long, pointed hood had an ornate bell at the end.

Then there was the last one, who stood out to Lavi the most in the group. He couldn't even tell if it was a he or a she, the child had a beautiful face with sharp features, their eyes held a dark glare. Their hair was fairly long, reaching down to the small of their back. The logical reason why this child stood out from the rest would be because while the other three were wearing the black uniforms of the Black Order, that one person wasn't, instead wearing a plain white shirt and black slacks. But Lavi wasn't thinking logically, this one stood out to him because they'd caught Lavi's eye; he was interested.

Lenalee walked forward to welcome everyone home, and to introduce herself to the new kid.

"Lavi, don't just stand there, come over and say hello," She said, in a soft command. He did as told, and hoped his eye wasn't getting wide; the child was even more lovely up close, and more androgynous. With the way his curiosity was building up, be couldn't stop himself from making a foolish mistake, and a horrible first impression.

"So are you a boy or a girl?"

The blood-freezing glare he received told him that if the smaller child was not so tired at the moment, he would have bludgeoned him. But that still didn't answer Lavi's question. Eye twitching angrily, the child answer.

"I'm a boy," The child; now properly identified as a male, answered through gritted teeth. Lavi would have to fix the problem he'd just created for himself, if he didn't want the boy to chop his head off with a knife during dinner or something someday.

"Well good for you, I'm one too. My name's Lavi, yours?" He asked, at near-babbling speed. The boy seemed to take enjoyment out of Lavi's flustered and slightly scared state, for he smirked, and answered with a lot less ice in his tone "Kanda." The rest of Kanda's group had left to go file a report on their latest mission, and Kanda was left in Lenalee's capable hands, plus the tag-along Lavi. Now that Kanda had trained a bit with his innocence, it was about time he had Hevlaska see how much he had come to synchronize with it.

"So you're name's just Kanda? What about a first name?"

"Is you're name just Lavi? What about a last name?"

"Aha, you've got me. But I don't have-or need- a last name. But what about you? Surely you have more than your family name?"

Kanda huffed, not liking how Lavi was asking him so many questions. Besides, even if Kanda did tell him his first name, it's not like he was gonna let anyone use it. That would be annoying, and much too personal too allow someone whom he had just met to do. Lavi looked at him expectantly, and Kanda grumbled a bit before answering. "Yuu."

"What about me?"

"No you idiot, that's my name. Tch... why am I bothering to talk to you anyways..."

"Because it was love at first sight?"

That earned Lavi a direct punch to the face; fatigue be damned, Kanda wasn't about to let two huge offenses slip by him without punishment. Lenalee looked on in alarm, hoping the two didn't start fighting. Lavi wiggled his nose a little, and checked for blood.

"Geez you gave me a nose-bleed!"

"Hentai."

"Hey I am not!"

Kanda had already started walking again, and Lenalee was following; after all Kanda had no idea where he was going. Kanda stopped and looked back at Lavi, not expecting the idiot to know anything of his mother language. Lavi took this time to catch up to the two.

"So you're Japanese I take it? Fine, then from now on you are Yuu-chan!"

"Yuu-chan" looked absolutely murderous now. No, he would not let this stupid redhead go around calling him by his first name with a feminine honorific attached. No, just no.

"Call me that again and I will run you through with Mugen."

"Mugen?"

Kanda put his hand on the hilt of a sword that Lavi only just noticed was strapped to his side. Lavi put his hands up in the universal sign of peace, and the three continued to Komui's office.

000

The next day Lavi pretty much followed Kanda around, which thoroughly annoyed the Japanese boy. Horribly enough, Lavi still kept calling Kanda "Yuu-chan" despite the warning he had received. Unfortunately, Kanda could never find any pointy instrument that would be fit for bloody murder, Mugen was currently being inspected by Komui but as soon as he had it back... well, then Kanda would no longer have this problem.

Still, he couldn't get the cultural mut to just shut up and leave him alone! it was infuriating. Finally, Kanda couldn't take the insistent chatter that came from behind him. He turned around quickly, whipping Lavi with his hair, to find that they were much closer than he had thought they were; there faces were not but a hand's length away, and the two had some comparatively small hands. For a moment Kanda's face turned a pale pink, but he soon controlled his embarrassment at being so close to another person.

"Why wont you just leave me the hell alone?" he asked, his voice and face reflecting his anger. Lavi looked down at him with a raised eyebrow; he had not missed the momentary blush that had colored Kanda's face. It was cute how Kanda could be so rude with such a pretty face, as though his over-whelmingly strong and angry attitude was to make up for looking fragile. Lavi liked cute, and he thought that blush had definitely made the small boy cute. He wanted to see more of that. He lowered his face to the point where the tips of their noses nearly touched, a smirk firmly in place on his lips.

"Because Yuu, I find you interesting. Interesting and very, very cute." He answered truthfully, and then chastely kissed Kanda. Lavi pulled away to find the Japanese completely stunned, and blushing radiantly. Lavi turned, and started to walk away, making his not-so-hasty retreat while he had the chance.

"Lavi... I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

Lavi thought he'd better hasten his retreat.

1- Ge-ge is Mandarin for older brother. Saya thinks that because Komui and Lenalee are both Chinese, that if Lenalee isn't going to use "brother" to refer to Komui, then it would make more sense for her to use her mother tongue to refer to him, rather than the Japanese "Nii-san".The Mandarin word for younger sister, by the way, is Mei-Mei. Well, from what Saya found that's what it is anyway, if she's wrong please correct her.

And surely you all know about how in anime/manga, perverts tend to get nose-bleeds when thinking perverse thoughts. so when Kanda calls Lavi a pervert, that's Saya making a pun off the nose-bleed situation. Is that really a pun though? Hm...

So this may or may not become a series, which is why this is so long. Saya really hopes she can make this into a series! She needs to express her love for LaviYuu! And for those who are wondering, that last part was the scene that Saya had in mind and just had to put out into the world. Yatta for LaviYuu
