"Yeah... everything is great..."
'Aside from the fact I'm practically in love with you.'

Allen stared in horror at the contents of Lavi's closet as the redhead beside him hummed happily, going through some papers from his desk, placing the ones he wanted in a box and the rest in a growing pile in the middle of his floor.
"Bloody hell Lavi! when was the last time you cleaned this thing out?" four months had passed since the incident with Tyki, and he had been sent to a juvenile detention facility on the other side of the country, not that Allen really cared about that at the moment.
Lavi was leaving early.
The redhead had an apartment lined up to live in on the other side of town, close to the university, and had decided to move two months early because the tenants that were occupying it had packed up and skipped out on their rent, freeing up his new home earlier than expected.
"I dunno... I think before I moved in here..."
"That long?!" Allen didn't really want to help Lavi pack his things, but after harbouring romantic feeling for the older teen for four months, he was almost desperate to spend as much time Lavi as possible before he left.
"Maybe longer..." Lavi cringed at the mess and smiled weakly at Allen, "But you don't mind being a friend and helping me do you?"
'damn Lavi and that smile...' Allen flushed and nodded with a sigh, turning back to the dark hole that was Lavi's closet.
"O-okay... I'm going in... Lavi," the redhead turned to Allen who said with a serious face as he pointed to the closet, "If I don't make it back, you can have my bookcase, Lenalee can have my hockey skates, and you can tell Kanda to go to hell." Lavi blinked and burst out into laughter.
Allen wasn't joking.
----
It had been a couple hours since Allen had disappeared into the depths of the closet from hell, and Lavi was just finishing going the last of his old school papers when there was a loud crash from the walk-in closet and Allen yelped.
"Oh god! Lavi! help me! help! Get me out of the closet!" there was another crash and a muffled yell before the redhead jumped up and stumbled over the boxes in his room to the closet door, his eyes widening in surprise as one of Allen's pale hands waved frantically from beneath a pile of clothes, old toys, sports equipment, gym bags, books and various other things.
"Christ! Allen what happened?" Lavi hurried forward and started pulling the things off Allen until his head emerged.
"One of your shelves collapsed!" Allen waved his only free hand around the small room with an irritated expression, "Seriously Lavi! who the hell holds up shelves with all that crap on it with poles!?"
"Umm... I do?" Lavi chuckled as he threw things carelessly over his shoulder as he unearthed Allen.
"Ah! Lavi! watch where you're throwing that stuff! You'll hit another pole-" said pole clattered loudly to the ground and the large pile of clothing slid off the shelf and landed on Lavi's back. The redhead yelped in surprise and moved experimentally beneath the weight of the junk.
"Hey Allen can you move?" Lavi asked looking at Allen with a sheepish smile. The British teen cracked open his eyes and turned to face Lavi, blushing in shock as their noses brushed. Neither of them had realised how close they were. How hard would it be to just lean forward a little and capture the other's lips...?
"Um, n-no... I don't think so..." Allen's once free arm and most of the res of his body had been trapped under Lavi when he was forced forward under the weight of the clothes. Lavi felt his heart beat faster as Allen's warm breath ghosted across his lips and he shivered as he felt Allen shift slightly under him.
"Ah... crap..." Lavi murmured, heaving a sigh, "Neither can I... guess we're stuck here until someone comes looking for us huh?"
"H-how long do you think that will be?" Allen blushed harder at Lavi's quiet voice.
"Mmm, probably an hour or so... once dinner is on the table and you're not there someone should come looking for us... no one but you and I come down this way unless they have a specific reason, so yelling will do no good..." Lavi noticed Allen's reddening cheeks and continued speaking in the same low tone, interested in Allen's reactions.
"Ah... th-that is a long t-time..." Allen swallowed nervously as he did his best to keep his mind out of the gutter as Lavi spoke in an almost... husky voice that sent shivers down him spine.
"Yeah..."
"So... wh-what do you propose we do until then?"
"Well... why don't we play 'questions'?"
"'Questions'?"
"Yeah, I'll ask you a yes or no question, then you ask me one and we keep going back and forth, but we can't answer anything but yes or no."
"Sounds simple enough..."
"I'll start then..." Lavi paused thoughtfully, resting his head on the pile beside him, delighted that he could still feel Allen's breath ghosting across his face from the more comfortable position.
" Have a crush on anyone right now?"
"Yes..." Allen looked thoughtful before smiling as a question came to mind, "Ever dated anyone for more than a month?"
"Nope. Ever had a girlfriend?"
"No... ever ride on Mugen and not wonder if you were going to die?"
"Never in my life. Ever had a boyfriend?" Allen's fading blush returned full force as he sputtered.
"N-no... have you ever walked in on Lenalee in the shower?"
"God yes... that was the only time in my life I actually thought I was going to die..."
---
Lenalee looked up from her homework as Kanda walked in and she smiled warmly in greeting.
"Hello Kanda. Have you seen Allen or Lavi in the last few hours?"
"Yeah, the last I saw they were cleaning and packing Lavi's room up for when he moves next week." Kanda pulled a bagel out of the bread box as he wiped some motor oil off his face.
"Ah, I see. Were you working on Mugen?"
"Yeah, one of the cylinders in the motor was cracked so I was just working on getting a new one in."
"Oh okay." Lenalee sneezed suddenly rubbing her nose gentle as she sniffed.
"You getting a cold?"
"No, I don't think so... hmm... someone must be talking about me..."
"Che... don't be so superstitious. That's just an old wives tale." Kanda snorted as he turned to leave the kitchen, sneezing just as he walked out the door.
----
"Ever stared at Yuu's ass when he wasn't looking?" Allen choked on his own breath, blushing madly.
"N-No!"
"Not even once?"
"No!!! and that was two questions Lavi!"
"Oh damn..."
"Okay, my turn..." Allen paused, "Ever gotten less than an 80 on a school assignment?"
"Yup, just one back in grade seven."
"Wow... okay, umm... ever... gotten drunk?"
"Uh... yeah..." Lavi gave him the well duh look and Allen chuckled, "Ever kissed anyone?"
"No... well Tyki but I don't really count him..." Lavi made a noise of agreement and nodded as Allen thought about his next question, "Do you like anyone at the moment?"
"Yup. Do you want to get kissed?" Allen blinked and raised an eyebrow at Lavi who smiled innocently.
"Well, yeah I guess... doesn't everyone want to get kissed?"
"Yeah, you're right I guess... do you have a crush on a girl?"
"Huh? I didn't ask you a question..."
"Yes you did! And I quote; 'Doesn't everyone want to get kissed?'"
"Oh... but that wasn't meant as a question... oh well whatever..."
"Answer my question Allen~"
"Oh, do I have a crush on a girl? No I don't..."
"Oh so you have one on a guy then?"
"Well, uh.. yeah..."
"Hmm~ me too~"
"R-really?"
"Yup~" Allen nodded slowly, a thoughtful look on his face as they lapsed into companionable silence. So... Lavi had a crush on some other guy huh? Allen sighed sadly, looking up at the ceiling of the closet, not noticing Lavi watching his face closely.
"Hey Lavi?" Allen spoke after a moment of thought. If Lavi was going to be moving to another place on his own, then Allen didn't want to have to sit on these feelings while he worked for a year to save up for university.
"Yes?" Allen turned his face back to Lavi, cursing the blush that worked its way into his cheeks as their noses brushed again and Lavi's breath blew over his skin.
"I... I want to tell you something before... you leave..." Lavi's breath hitched in anticipation as his emerald eye met sliver. Allen had a determined look in his eyes, even though he swallowed nervously.
"What is it?" Allen bit him lip as he tried to think of the proper words to convey his feelings.
'Well, I just thought that I should tell you that I'm in love with you.' Rejected.
'I've had a crush on you for the last four months.' Rejected .
'Will you take me fast and hard as soon as we can move?' REJECTED! With a sigh as the words he wanted to use eluded him, Allen decided that maybe words weren't going to help him in this situation. Allen took a deep breath and leaned forward until his and Lavi's mouth's brushed gently as he spoke.
"I don't really know how to say it... so... I figured the only way I can get my point across is by showing you..." Allen was shocked at how even his voice was- not even a stutter!- so there was a moment of hesitation before he shyly pressed his lips to Lavi's. Both gasped slightly at the jolt that the tiny touch brought and Allen pulled back, blushing furiously.
"A-Allen..." Lavi murmured as the boy turned his face away shamefully.
"S-sorry if you don't feel the same way, I... I just wanted to tell you before you... move out... I'm sorry!" Allen started as a warm hand touched his cheek and turned his face gently to Lavi who smiled.
"No need to be sorry Allen." Lavi pulled Allen down and kissed him, and Allen's mind shut down in surprise. When he could actually think in words again, Allen realised that Lavi was holding back, his tongue darting out here and there, trying to get Allen's shy mouth to loosen up a bit. Shyly, Allen's mouth started to move with Lavi's and when a warm tongue trailed along Allen's bottom lip, he eagerly gave entrance to Lavi, who made an amused sound in the back of his throat as their tongues duelled. Lavi pulled back after a moment with a grin at Allen's dazed expression.
"See?" Allen nodded absently as Lavi's thumb stroked his cheek lovingly. Suddenly, his silver eyebrows came together and he glanced down at Lavi's hand, twitching in annoyance as Lavi blinked in confusion.
"What?"
"You could move your hand the whole damn time!?"
"Well yeah! I only asked you if you could move. I never said anything about me~" Lavi grinned as Allen struggled beneath the combined weight of Lavi and all the junk on top of him.
"Damn it Lavi I'm going to kick your ass when I can move!"
"But I thought you loved me~!"
"That doesn't mean I'm not going to beat you to hell and back for this!"
Lavi just laughed and planted an affectionate kiss on Allen's cheek, "Well then we're just going to have to stay like this then~ I don't like getting beaten up~"
----
"Lavi..." Allen knocked timidly on the older redhead's door and peaked in, smiling shyly as Lavi looked up from the packing he was doing and waved Allen in.
"Hey Allen! Come on in~" Allen slid through the door and shut it silently behind him as Lavi cleared a spot on the bed for him, "We sort of need to talk about a few things huh? Lavi smiled as Allen nodded awkwardly.
"Well, I... I just want to know where I stand with you Lavi. what are we?"
"Last time I checked we were both drop dead sexy."
"You know what mean Lavi." Allen sighed, smiling slightly.
"Well, what do you want us to be Allen?" Lavi leaned forward with a smile which turned into a grin as Allen fidgeted with a blush on his cheeks.
"W-well... I... I mean... I kinda... want to... you know... d-date you..." Allen stuttered out. His face was so red, he was starting to wonder if all of the blood in his body had settled there.
"Hmm~ well, I'm free tomorrow if you're interested~" Allen's head whipped around and he blinked in surprise at Lavi who was grinning stupidly.
"Y-you mean you want..." Allen trailed off and Lavi picked up where he left off with a happy smile.
"To date you? You bet I do~"
"R-really?"
"I wouldn't have kissed you if I didn't Allen." Lavi giggled at Allen's expression and leaned forward, pecking Allen's lips playfully. Allen threw his arms around Lavi's neck and pulled him down into a heated kiss knocking the redhead off balance and sending them tumbling backwards to the bed on top of the piles of folded clothes and papers there. Lavi chuckled at Allen's enthusiasm running a hand down his side as Allen's hands tangled themselves in Lavi's crimson locks. They were just really getting into it the door slammed open.
"Oi Lavi are you almost done -" Kanda stopped, blinking in surprise as the redheaded boy turned to look at him with kiss swollen lips and an annoyed glint in his only visible eye.
"Yuu-Chan, come on... leave me alone for a little while... well unless you want to join us that is~..." Lavi winked at Kanda who sighed in exasperation and glared meaningfully at Lavi.
"Fucking rabbit... can you keep it in your pants for long enough to finish packing? Daisha and his pick up truck is coming for the first load of your crap in an hour."
"Awww Yuu you're never any fun..."
----
A couple of days later Allen was standing outside, leaning against the wall with a conflicted look on his face as Lavi placed the last box in the back of the pick up truck.
"Awww what's with the long face Ally-babe?" Lavi asked as he walked up to Allen, poking his face cheerfully.
"I dunno... I... just don't want you to leave I guess..." Allen sighed looking away from Lavi who chuckled and ruffled Allen's snowy locks.
"You're acting as if I'm moving to the other side of the country... I'm not far Allen, and your work is like a block away so you can come over right after and stay until you have to go in the morning if you want." Lavi laughed as Allen flushed so hard his ears turned pink, "And there are lots of telephones hanging around, and I've already programmed the number into your cell. Don't worry okay?" Lavi kissed Allen forehead and smiled at the younger teen who smiled back after a moment, nodding.
"Yeah I know... I won't."
"Alright then, into the truck! You get to help me unpack Allen~" Lavi grabbed the unsuspecting brit's wrist and dragged him into the car.
"What!? That isn't in my job description Lavi!"
"Well, I'm sure what we're going to be doing after we finish unpacking is." Lavi winked at Allen as he started up the car, laughing as Allen's struggles ceased and he went as red as a tomato.
"You know, when you get that red you look like a strawberry with whipped cream on top~"
"Shut up Lavi!"
"Love you too Allen~" Lavi laughed as he started up the truck and started down the road. Allen sighed with an amused smile on his face as he looked out the window.
Things had been bad for a while, he had felt like no one understood what he was feeling after losing someone so precious to him, he had felt like he had no choice but to keep his past a secret, and he felt like he had been used by someone who was willing to use whatever they could against him to get what he wanted, but Lavi had rolled in and dispelled all the bad things. Lavi had brought the light back to him.
Now, all Allen could think as they drove towards Lavi's new apartment was...
'Maybe god doesn't hate me so much after all...'
