Chapter One: Conclusion: Religion

Allen and Lavi were headed to the cafeteria, having worked up an appetite from laying in Allen's room for several hours. They were still talking about religion, for all its upsides and downsides.

They ordered their dinner, since it was nearing that time; Lavi asked for an Italian dish with a side of soup and seasoned bread. And Allen got his normal huge list of food, consisting of grilled steak, macaroni and cheese, lasagna, two sandwiches of varying meats, cheeses, vegetables and condiments, a cherry pie, three glasses of green tea, a bowl of various fruit, ranging from cherries and orange slices to kiwi and blueberries, as well as the traditional mitarashi dango, Allen's favorite dish. Allen carted his dinner towards an empty table and Lavi followed after.

Only a few minutes into their meal, they both spotted Kanda, who was just entering the cafeteria, headed to talk to Jerry, obviously to order his own supper. Lavi looked from Kanda to Allen, who returned the look, then smiled in unison.

"Should we join our lonesome friend, Allen?" Lavi asked, smirking. Allen nodded, grinning wickedly. They waited until Kanda sat down at a table, then stood up and made their way to sit on either side of him.

"Hello, Yuu-chan!" Lavi said brightly, earning a death-glare.

"Don't call me that or I will shove that tray up your-" Kanda started.

"Ah, ah, ah! Watch your language around the young one, Yuu-chan!" Lavi interrupted, smiling and poking Kanda in the face with a finger. Kanda watched that finger in disgust as it pulled away, grateful that the red-headed fool had not used one of the other fingers that had food crumbs sprinkled on them.

"Che. Baka."

"Nee, Yuu-chan. We were talking about religion a few minutes ago... We were wondering, are you a Catholic?" Lavi asked.

"Catholic?"

"Yeah, you know. Catholic. I mean, we do serve the Vatican and the Pope." Allen piped up. This drew Kanda's attention to the white-haired younger boy, who was smiling at Kanda, trying not to start an argument for once. This only earned him a withering look of disgust and hatred. Allen pouted a little, but then offered Kanda his brightest smile. Kanda's eye twitched.

"Stop smiling, Moyashi. It makes my eyes hurt."

"Well, then, stop looking at me."

"So, Yuu?"

After a few moments of awkward and tense silence, the Japanese man replied.

"It's none of your business." Kanda sniffed. He stood up quickly, gathered his tray of food and left the cafeteria after depositing his left overs on the counter near Jerry.

"Huh. That went well." Allen sighed, propping his chin on his hand to watch Kanda leave.

"I thought for sure he would tell us," Lavi whined, pouting a little as he prodded his food with a fork. Allen sighed hopelessly.

Short and long in waiting, but here it is. I had meant this to be more interesting....However, it seems that other stories held a little bit more precedence. I will try to come up with more for Lavi and Allen to discuss, but if you wanna send me ideas, go right ahead.

Review, please? I worked hard to get motivated to get this up. Really...If you have any ideas about new chapters for this, I will take any suggestions and do my very best to write them.^_^ Thanks for reading!
