First yoai fic on here!

This chapter will be from Allen's point of view, but for future chapters I might switch between Allen, Lavi and the third person, depends how the fiction is going.

I don't own this.

I first noticed something weird was going on when we had transferred to the new headquarters, and I started waking up in the night for no reason. I wasn't cold, I wasn't hot, I didn't need the bathroom, and, hard to believe, I wasn't hungry.

At first, it didn't bother me, you know, cos I'd been through a lot, maybe it was just a bit of stress, but then, it started happening more frequently, and then every night, and then several times a night. There was nothing wrong with me, and I didn't feel all that stressed out, so it really puzzled me.

But then, one night, I woke up, and just as I did, I heard the door shut. I jumped up and went to look out in the corridor but saw no one. So, the next night, I tried staying up, to see who was coming into my room, and what they wanted. But being woken up so often made it almost impossible to stay up even two hours too late and I fell asleep, only to be woken again by the door closing.

I started to think maybe this order was haunted as well, but I asked around, and this place never had anyone die in or around it, and had no record of haunting, but, Komui did give me some useful advice on how to catch my "ghost."

I yelled in surprise as the loud sound of pots and pans crashing together woke me up. I sat up to see someone's silhouette fall to the ground with a cry. I turned on my bedside lamp, and discovered, to my surprise, Lavi was picking himself up off the floor, having tripped over a wire, connected to kitchenware I'd hung from the roof.

'Lavi?'I said in surprise, getting up to help him to his feet.

'Allen!' Lavi looked just as surprised to see me as I him.

He stood up and looked around my room.

'This isn't my room...'

'No,' I shook my head, 'It's mine.'

'OH!' Lavi laughed and smacked himself on the head, 'Sorry Allen I must have been sleepwalking, I'll just go now.'

'Lavi!' I grabbed his arm as he tried to leave, 'Wait!'

'Can't, gotta go do...Bookman stuff!'

Lavi shook me off and ran out of my room. I wasn't really sure what was going on, so I kind of just stood there, gaping at the doorway.

I went back to bed soon after, deciding to ask Lavi about it tomorrow...But I didn't know what I wanted to ask. Lots of people sleepwalked, right?

But then, why was Lavi constantly coming into my room? After asking around, no one else said people came into their room, so it must have just been mine, and that confused me further. Also, why was Lavi sleepwalking in the first place? To be doing so every night, several times in one night, it was either a medical condition or... Well, he didn't know what.

'Tomorrow,' I told myself, 'I'll find him tomorrow.'

The next day, I couldn't find Lavi anywhere, even when I asked around. After searching the entire order twice, I decided to take a break, but not necessarily give up. I went to the empty library and combed the entire thing for all the books I could find on sleepwalking. There were hundreds, so I chose six of them that seemed the most comprehensive and went to a couch. I laid down on it and started to read one.

Sleepwalking is disorder in which the sufferer practices activities normally associated with wakefulness, while asleep. Common causes are high levels of stress or anxiety, or conditions passed down through the family. A common misconception is that sleepwalking is when the sufferer is acting out the physical aspects of a dream, but in fact, sleepwalking occurs outside the state in which dreams appear.

I went through all six books, and that's pretty much all they told me despite being the size of dictionaries.

The thing was, though, despite the fact I considered Lavi to be a close friend, I knew nothing about him. Sure, I knew stuff like, his favourite food was barbeque pork, and that he liked to joke around, and stuff like that, but that was surface stuff. I didn't actually know him. So, I didn't know if he was worried or stressed out, and I knew nothing about his family, if he had one.

I had never really thought about it before, but now I realised, as a bookman, he probably didn't have a family. That meant he wouldn't know his medical history, so this was going to make it harder to get to the bottom of his sleepwalking. But I wasn't going to give up; after all, sleepwalking was dangerous. You could hurt yourself in so many ways when you had no idea what was going on.

When I thought of that, I suddenly felt panicked for Lavi. I wondered if I should tell Komui or matron, in case they didn't know, but then...Would Lavi be happy about me snooping around behind his back?

I checked the clock on the wall. It was dinner time. Perhaps Lavi was in the new cafeteria now.

--

He wasn't. In my quest for information on Lavi, I hadn't eaten all day, and as a parasite type I was now twenty times more hungry then a normal parasite, so I ate a lot more. Of course, it only took about ten minutes to clear the table, and then I got up to go find Lavi. In the hall I ran into Reever, so I asked if He'd seen Lavi, or if he'd gone on a mission. The man shook his head, so I told him if he saw Lavi, please tell him I'm looking for him. He nodded, and then we parted ways.

Walking the halls, I started becoming worried. Perhaps when Lavi had been sleepwalking, he hadn't wanted anyone to know? I didn't think sleepwalking was something to be embarrassed about, but maybe there was something personal about it to Lavi that made him upset to know I had found out.

Well, I hadn't told anyone, so maybe Lavi would forgive me, and tell me what was going on. The way he was acting about it, I had decided that the cause was most likely stress or anxiety. I was no doctor, but still, I cared about Lavi greatly, and desperately wanted to help him. From the moment we'd met, we'd become instant friends, and the thing about me was... If my friend had a problem, then I wouldn't stop until that problem was fixed.

But.

Well, it was hard to explain, but Lavi felt different from a friend. It was like...Well, I don't know... I guess you could say I had a bit of a crush on him. It didn't really bother me that I had a crush on another guy...I mean, I like girls too... So I guess that means I'm bisexual.

No one knew that though. And I'm sure Lavi would get freaked out if he found out I had a crush on him, so I wasn't about to tell anyone.

But whatever, i wasn't interested in exploring my sexual orientation at that time, the only thing I was interested in was finding Lavi.

I quickly went over all the places I'd been in my head...And that's when it hit me. I hadn't checked the balcony on the roof.
