It's been a while since I updated this *sighs*. I've edited the previous chapters if you want to go back and read them. I apologize for all the mistakes I made.

--(Chapter 7 – The rain)--

Lavi registered the change between the two almost immediately. Kanda, Allen and himself were sitting in the cafeteria, which had been cleaned the night before by some rather aggravated finders, after yesterday's outburst. Neither Allen or Kanda were looking at each other but were eating and gazing around the room, at anything but each other. In fact if Lavi hadn't dragged them to the table, he was certain the would have sat on opposite sides of the room. Had Lavi been any other person in the order (except perhaps Bookman) he would guess they acting this way because of the fight, but because Lavi wasn't another person, he figured that something else must have happened. For the moment, most of the eyes in the hall had fallen on the two. Watching. Waiting. An uneasy quiet flitted in the air around them. Even Allen had decreased the speed he was eating his amass food.

After Komui had chased them out of the cafeteria no one had seen or heard of the two exorcists for the rest of the day. All the attempts to find them ended with failure from Komui, Lenalee the finders and himself. There were even some who thought that they had gone killed each other. The likeliness of this situation was so truthful that the order began fearing their exorcists' safety.

Then out of nowhere, there they were for breakfast, just like any other day.

Kanda put down his chopsticks and rose to leave. The rooms' occupants holding their breath. The raven haired teen looked, for the first time since entering the hall, straight at Allen. The said white haired boy stared back, a light blush sprinkling over his cheeks.

"We need to talk" Kanda muttered. With that he grabbed Allen's arm and dragged him out of the hall.

A few finders made to follow but were stopped by a large hammer. "Leave them" Lavi said. Eyes fixed on the door. His two best friends were confused. He couldn't help but notice Allen's blush a few moments prior. Something was going on between the two of them; and as the best friend he was going to find out.

Allen didn't object as Kanda pulled him down the corridors of the Black Order Headquarters. His wrist had Kanda's hand clasped firmly on it, and Allen couldn't stop the blush that refused to leave his cheeks.

They passed both Allen's and Kanda's rooms and Allen wondered faintly where they were going. Kanda led them up a few flights of stairs, a corridor and another staircase before opening a door to reveal the roof of the giant tower.

Kanda dropped Allen's hand and stood wit his back to him, watching the horizon. Allen took a few tentative steps forward and stood beside him. The view was nothing special today, but startling nonetheless. The sky was grey and thick with clouds. The sun's light illuminated the sky but was nowhere to be found. A light breeze chilled the air around them. Ruffling their hair. Caressing their cheeks.

Kanda moved to look at Allen, his long raven hair blowing in the wind. Allen met his gaze and waited.

Kanda sighed, as if nervous. Gently he took Allen's gloved hands and removed the white fabric from them. He laced his left hand with Allen's right and went to the same with Allen's innocence embedded hand. On instinct Allen drew back his hand and looked to the side. Kanda sighed again and grabbed the others hand, not caring whether the bean sprout was self-conscious about it or not.

Allen looked timidly into Kanda's eyes. The simple gesture meaning more to the boy than maybe it should.

Kanda "Che'd" and lent forward and placed his forehead on Allen's, staring into the silver pools that were his eyes. "I'm sorry" he whispered.

There was a roll of thunder above them, but neither noticed.

"For what?" the white haired teen asked quietly.

Both failed to register the drops of rain which flew from the sky, landing on and around them.

"The fight yesterday in the cafeteria".

Another rumble over head failed to draw their attention.

Allen smiled warmly at Kanda. "You've already apologized for that already baka".

The sky grew darker and somewhere in the distance a flash of lightening illuminated the sky.

Kanda smiled slightly and pressed his forehead gently against Allen's. "I know that. Yet I still feel bad for it".

There was another clap of thunder and the light rain ceased to be replaced by a violent downpour, drenching the two oblivious exorcists.

"Then allow me to forgive you" Allen whispered tilting his head connecting their lips.

Kanda's eyes slipped shut as he pressed his lips firmly back against the Moyashi's. Allen disconnected their hands and circled his arms around Kanda's neck. Kanda's own hands wrapped around Allen's small waist, holding him close.

The rain pounded onto the rooftop soaking their clothes. Drenching their hair. Water rolled down their faces as another tremendous roll of thunder burst over head. The sky was dark. The sun now nowhere to be seen.

Kanda's tongue slipped into Allen's mouth exploring the wet cavern, a moan rumbling from the back of his throat. Allen's knees gave a little but he was held in place by Kanda's strong arms as he clung onto Kanda's soaked hair.

They parted for air. Foreheads touching once again as they finally realized and recognised that it was raining. No not raining... pouring. Water streamed down their faces but they still stared into each other's eyes. Smiles playing on their swollen lips. Lightening filled the sky with light once more as one saw it reflected in the other's eyes. Kanda leaned down and pecked Allen lips a few times before whispering; "Thank you". A true smile on his features. What a way to forgive someone.

--

Lavi closed the door that led to the roof. A content smile on his face. He listened as the thunder continued to growl outside. He replayed the images he had just seen in his head and shook his head slightly, smile growing wider. Maybe I should get them some towels? He wondered but in the end decided against it, for fear of being killed for spying. But despite everything he was happy for his friends. Life at the order may just get a little more interesting.
