Chapter 7 - You've Got It All Wrong!

****************************************************
Okay, here's some more of the good stuff, Get ready, this one's gonna be a little different..!

****************************************************< br>
Sometimes, it just didn't pay to get out of bed.

Miranda Lotte was no stranger to this fact. Sighing for what seemed like the millionth time, she wondered if she could still return to her room and pretend that the whole morning was nothing but a dream.

Firstly, she had somehow managed to wind herself tightly into the sheets, falling out of bed after a stuttered attempt to rise. If that hadn't been a blatant clue to the rest of the day, there had been many more to come.

Finding Linali was only the second trial of the day. The absurdly difficult search for the pretty female exorcist had resulted in Miranda staring foolishly at the girl's fearfully deluded older brother, his eyes narrow as he wondered where 'his Linali' could be.

Wringing her thin hands, Miranda had backed carefully from the room, so as not to attract unwanted attention from the scheming man. She was no fool, and had long ago discovered that the white clad man was capable of terrible things when his 'precious sister' was involved.

Resuming her search, she found herself wondering over the past night's events. She wished that her friends would stop being angry with one another, but her natural timidness kept her from directly confronting them. While she had never been a forceful person, she often wished that there was some way to convey her feelings...

These troubling thought served to distract her, resulting inevitably in a collision with another person. Flailing her arms, she managed to drag the other person down as well. As she shook her head, she heard a low laugh, and a strong hand gripped her arm to help her up.

Looking up, she saw the grinning face and bright red hair that could only belong to one person. "I'm so sorry!" She blurted, her face heated as the taller exorcist laughed again.

"No problem, just be careful ok?" He smiled. Seeing that he was unharmed, she decided to ask him if he'd seen Linali.

"Excuse me, but have you seen Linali-chan? I need to speak with her." He frowned thoughtfully, and replied.

"Linali? No, I haven't been with her since yesterday morning. Did you try her room, or the Lab? Komui might know something."

Deciding to try the girl's room once more, she nodded gratefully and took her leave.

The trek to the exorcist's quarters was deceptively uneventful, but the sight of Komui's slightly battered white beret held the promise of misfortune. Miranda shuddered at the slightly manic look in the man's eyes as she approached the doorway.

"Komui-san," She greeted him softly, "Is Linali-chan still out, then?" He nodded, his gaze calculating.

"I'll bet it's that bastard Lavi," He growled suddenly, his eyes narrow, "He's always sniffing around her like a dog in.."

"Oh, no, Komui-san!" Miranda rushed to cut off his embarrassing rant. "I just spoke with him, and he told me that he hadn't been with Linali-chan since yesterday morning, and.." She trailed off fearfully at the man's sudden jerk. Backing away, she attempted to inconspicuously remove herself from the dark aura emanating from him.

"He..He said he hadn't been with her since then, did he? That sneaky bastard." Komui seemed to have forgotten that Miranda was there, so she quietly turned to leave. A sudden yell caused her to jump guiltily.

"Wait! Where exactly did you see...Lavi... when you spoke with him?"

Flinching, she tried to recall the location, and relayed the information reluctantly. Komui smiled evilly, and passed by her with a muttered "Thanks".

Worried that she may have done something wrong, Miranda decided that indeed, she should have just stayed in bed...

*********************************************************** ********************

The library was almost always empty in the early afternoon, but on this particular day, a shock of bright color had situated itself into it's center. Lavi smiled as he stretched, his back popping as he moved. Sighing in contentment, he reached for another of the dusty volumes spread before him.

A sudden crash alerted him to the presence of someone else, and he glanced up, his welcoming banter dying on his lips.

Komui stood in the decimated doorway, his shoulders hunched as he stared at the younger man for several seconds. Drawing a deep breath, he lurched forward, his face frozen into a frightening leer. "Lavi-kun," He almost purred, "I think we should talk."

Lavi rose to his feet quickly, his senses telling him that something was very, very wrong. Attempting to appear casual, he maneuvered to a safer position, the long table between them as he smiled nervously. "What do we need to talk about, Komui?"

His casual attitude only served to irk the man further, his eyes glinting behind his angular glasses as he neared the makeshift barricade. "I heard from someone that you were off somewhere with Linali." He stopped smiling, his face serious as death.

"I think I've told you fools often enough that she is not for you." He growled, his arm rising to point a small device directly at the startled exorcists face. "Now, don't move, Lavi-kun," He whispered, "This won't hurt. For long."

Lavi could never be accused of being cowardly, and in the face of certain doom, he took the only sane alternative open to him.

He ran like hell.

************************************************************ *********

Meanwhile...

The girl in question had waited almost an hour before returning to her room, roaming the halls idly as she speculated on the results of Allen's rapid departure. Her curiosity sent her in the general direction of Kanda's room, her mind rationalizing the route as being more convenient than walking the lower level hallways to get back to her room.

As she neared the turn leading to the swordsman's quarters, she pulled up short as she saw the slightly shaking figure of Miranda Lotte. "Miranda-chan?" She asked, quietly as not to startle the nervous woman.

Jerking to attention, the thin woman's eyes widened at her sudden appearance. "Ah, Linali-chan, I've been looking for you everywhere!" She gasped, her voice shaky as she laughed.

"You have?" Linalki asked, puzzled.

Miranda nodded quickly, walking closer to explain. Seeing that the corridor was empty, she spoke. "I didn't mean to be nosy, but I overheard something last night that bothered me." Linali raised an eyebrow, wondering what the woman could have heard to upset her.

"Go on, Miranda-chan, what is it?"

Miranda gulped nervously. "I was awake very late, and while I was walking in the hallway, I heard a scream.." She trailed off, remembering her fright at the awful sound. Shivering, she continued. "After that, I heard Lavi-kun and Kanda arguing, and after a minute, Allen-kun also." She winced at the look on the younger girl's face.

"Linali-chan?" She asked fearfully, sure that the girl was disgusted with her snooping. Linali began to shake slightly, startling her as she wondered what she should do.

"I'm sorry, Linali-chan! I didn't mean to listen, really I didn't!" She panicked, raising her hands in supplication. Linali covered her mouth as her shaking increased.

Seeing that Miranda was becoming more and more alarmed, she calmed herself. "Was there anything else?" She asked, wiping her tearing eyes. When Miranda nodded mutely, she smiled at her, motioning her closer. Cautiously, the older woman approached, her face still set with lines of worry.

"Don't be so nervous, Miranda-chan," Linali giggled, "But I think we should finish this discussion in private." Miranda nodded, and fell into step beside the girl. As they drew even with the last doorway, they were both startled by a muffled thump, and a sudden cry.

As they stood dumbfounded, another voice joined the first, a voice familiar to both of them.

"How does it feel, Yuu?"

Twin expressions of shocked embarrassment covered their faces, and with a hasty look at each other, they turned and sprinted down the corridor, laughing.

******************************************************** *************

Kanda smiled down at the boy sprawled on his bed, his blue eyes thoughtful. 'I would never have thought we'd end up like this,' He mused, running a hand over the soft skin of Allen's cheek. Allen closed his eyes, leaning into the contact.

As slowly as he could bear, Kanda traced the lines of Allen's body through his clothing, lingering over the boy's most sensitive areas. The quiet whimpers he released were like music to the older boy, his raging arousal becoming more and more difficult to resist.

Sliding back, he ran one hand over the front of Allen's shirt, his fingers finding the buttons and slowly unfastening them as he went. When the soft material fell away from the smaller boy's chest, Kanda leaned forward once more, his lips retracing the path his hands had taken.

Allen gasped at the feeling of Kanda's mouth on him, the warm breath on his skin sending a thrill of goosebumps over his chest. He knew that Kanda would never hurt him, but he was afraid that his lack of experience would disappoint his lover. The feeling of those soft lips moving over him was incredible, and he wanted to share the pleasurable feelings with Kanda.

Feeling Allen's shivers, Kanda worked his way downwards, his tongue sliding over the line of his ribs as he savored the taste of him. Nipping him gently, Kanda smiled when he arched away from the bed, a ticklish chuckle escaping him. He allowed his tongue to circle Allen's navel, teasingly dipping in as Allen moaned.

Shifting his hands, he ran his fingers over the other boy's hips, drawing a line along his waistband with his tongue. As he listened to the quiet sounds Allen made, he slipped his hands underneath him, using the handhold to lift his body closer as his mouth moved over that soft flesh.

Kanda moved slowly back up, his hands gripping Allen's back as he went. Burying his face into Allen's throat, he placed one knee on the bed between his legs, spreading them to make room for his body. Allen complied with a shudder, and he settled into the space as he nibbled the lobe of one ear gently, eliciting a whimper from his love.

Allen shivered again as he felt the weight of the other boy above him, and carefully ran his hands over the skin of Kanda's back, urging him up for a kiss. Their lips met roughly, and he brought his knees up sharply as Kanda rocked their hips together, arching his back.

"Oh, yes, like that, please Kanda..", He gasped, his hands clenching the swordsman's waist as he closed his eyes in pleasure.

Kanda repeated the movement, lowering one hand to Allen's firm behind to pull him closer as he increased the pressure. "Like that, koi?" He mumbled, nuzzling the smaller boy's collarbone. He was trying to give Allen as much time as he needed to relax, but the urge to go slow with him was being washed over with his own desires, and the boy beneath him seemed to sense that he was struggling with himself.

"Kanda, please..", He whispered, "Don't be afraid for me, can't you feel..?" He paused, running his hands down to pull Kanda against him, tilting his pelvis as he whispered into his ear. "God, you feel so good, please don't hold back.."

Kanda groaned softly, the feeling of Allen's movements under him eating away at his restraint. "I don't want to hurt you, Allen," He said, freeing a hand to push back the sweaty hair sticking to Allens face. "I want you to feel..." He thrust downward slowly, drawing a cry from him as he pulled the boy's leg up to cover his hip for leverage. "Just like that, I don't want to cause you pain."

Allen panted, his voice hoarse as he spoke. "But I want you to feel like I do, you feel so ..damn..good, Yuu.." He lifted to his elbows, using the sudden movement to roll Kanda onto his back a he straddled him. Smiling at the samurai's slightly alarmed expression, he leaned forward, resting his weight directly over Kanda's very apparent arousal as he slipped a hand between them to touch him.

"I'm ready for you, aren't you ready for me?"

Kanda gasped as Allen moved slowly down his body, his next words muffled by the kisses he pressed against Kanda's still clothed chest. "I want you so much, Kanda."

Reaching the hem of his shirt, Allen shoved it upwards to expose the tan skin beneath as he continued to stroke Kanda through his pants. Licking his lips self consciously, he lowered his mouth to Kanda's stomach, his free hand supporting his weight as he moved backward to rest on his knees.

Rising slightly, Kanda stared down in shock as Allen proceeded to undo the button of his pants, slipping a hand into them to grasp him firmly. The disbelief he felt was replaced by wonder as Allen began to move his hand.

"Y-You wouldn't believe how good that feels..." He groaned, his head falling back as the sensation enveloped him. Allen smiled, closing his teeth lightly over the skin of one exposed hipbone, causing his lover to jump in surprise.

Using the movement to his advantage, he pulled gently on the side of Kanda's pants, working them over the swordsman's narrow hips an inch at a time. Feeling the other boy's stomach clench, Allen raised clouded grey eyes to meet stormy blue ones. "Please, Kanda.?" He let the plea hang between them, sighing with relief at the boy's slight nod.

Shivering, Kanda inclined his hips to allow Allen to pull his pants down, grateful that he had already kicked off his boots. As Allen slid the black material to his knees, he lifted one leg to help with the removal, his breath catching as he felt Allen's hands on his bare skin.

Allen blushed, his hands shifting to his own body as he let his unbuttoned shirt fall off of his shoulders to rest on the floor. Seeing his embarrassment, Kanda sat up, pulling the younger boy to him as he stroked the soft skin of his back, pressing kisses to his face and neck. As he tangled one hand into the boy's hair, he lifted his head for a kiss, the other hand moving slowly down to Allen's waist to toy with the band of his pants.

Neither one noticed the frantic footsteps in the hallway outside until a resounding crash startled them, their heads turning in unison to stare at the door as it slammed open and then closed, a tall body leaning against it as the lock turned. Lavi turned his back to the door, gasping for breath.

Settling heavily against the firm surface, he sighed in relief and opened his eye. "Thank God, I really thought I was gonna..."

Silence.

"Oh shit, I'm still gonna die..!"

********************************************************** *********************

Komui frowned, scanning the deserted hallway in search of his elusive prey. 'I was sure that sneaky bastard went this way,' He thought, listening carefully for any sign of the boy.

Growling in frustration, he decided to retrace his steps. As he turned, a muffled exclamation caught his attention, and he smiled grimly. Creeping back down the corridor, he pressed an ear to the door he'd just passed, an amused grin crossing his face as he listened.

******************************************************** ************************

Lavi had looked Death in the face many times, it was true. He'd slain hoards of Akuma without batting an eye. Through all that, he had never felt so close to dying as he did right now.

Kanda stared at him, unable to believe the sheer audacity of the taller exorcist. Allen merely sat, stunned at his sudden appearance.

"Ah, Allen-kun, Yuu-chan, how's it going?" He gulped at the expression on Kanda's face, a mixture of shock, embarrassment and anger. Realizing that his question could be taken the wrong way, he rushed to clarify himself.

"Not like that! I mean, I can see that things are going just fine.." He tapered off as Kanda narrowed his eyes, his hand already searching for Mugen despite his undressed state.

Rising from the bed slowly, he gripped Allen's arm, pushing the frozen exorcist behind him. Aware of his near nakedness, he flushed a deep red. "Lavi.." He snarled, the force of his anger almost palpable.

"No! I didn't see ,anything, nothing, I swear!" Lavi frantically covered his good eye as he reached behind himself to find the doorknob. Feeling the cool metal beneath his hand, he turned the lock, and uncovered his eye to smile slightly.

"You know, Yuu-chan," He snickered, "Those are nice on you, the color really brings out your eyes!" Jerking the door open, he fled.

Luckily for him, Allen had managed to snag the back of 'those' before Kanda could reach the door, probably saving the boy from a horrific death by decapitation.

**************************************************** ***************

Once he'd gotten a fair distance away, Lavi collapsed against the wall, sliding down as his breathing slowed. 'That was so close', He thought, a small smile crossing his face at the memory of Kanda's red face. 'I have got to stop taking risks like that, Yuu-chan would have really messed me up if Allen-kun hadn't caught him.'

Sighing in relief, he closed his eye, relaxing for a moment. A deep chuckle from above made him jerk, and he looked up slowly.

Komui grinned down at him.

"Now, wait, Komui-san!" Lavi stuttered, pushing back against the wall. "I didn't do anything with Linali, I swear! You've got it all wrong!"

Leaning down, Komui seized the boy's scarf, pulling him up until they were eye to eye. "What do I have wrong? You just told someone that you had been with her, don't deny it!"

As Lavi opened his mouth to protest, he felt a small sting, and he wobbled. The last thing he saw as darkness overtook him was Komui's sinister expression.

"Let's continue this in private, Lavi-kun."

******************************************************* ***********

"Let me go, I'll kill him!" Kanda raged, struggling against Allen's tight grip. A muffled sound caused him to jerk around. "Are you laughing at me, Moyashi?" Still bushing furiously, he turned to face the other boy.

Allen released him, clapping both hands over his mouth as he shook his head. Though thoroughly embarrassed himself, the sudden appearance of the red haired boy had spurned a fit of hysterical giggles, earning him a hard look from the rapidly pacing Kanda.

Kanda glared at him severely, his face almost painfully red. "I can't believe that fool just.. Just.." He spluttered, "And you're laughing!"

Wiping his eyes, Allen composed himself, proud that only a slight giggle escaped him as he took in the sight of a very flustered Kanda. "He's right, you know," He said seriously, his eyes traveling over the taller boy. "They do look very nice on you."

Kanda's eyes widened as he realized what Allen was saying.

"Oh, do they? I hope you're enjoying the view, Allen." Turning around, he glanced back at the boy over his shoulder, a light pink still hovering on his cheeks. "If you like them that much, maybe I should just leave them on.." He trailed off at the look on Allen's face.

Allen swallowed roughly as he shook his head. "No," He whispered, moving to wrap his arms around the samurai's shoulders. "You can't."

Kanda stared down at him as he spoke. "And why's that, Allen?" He asked, his voice low.

"Because I want them off." Allen replied, blushing deeply.

Kanda smirked, his eyes never leaving Allen as he leaned down for a kiss. Pushing him gently back, he guided him to the bed once more. "Then, why don't we do that? Come here, Moyashi."

Allen nodded jerkily, running his hands over the taller boy's toned chest. He reached up to unbutton the samurai's shirt, his fingers trembling as he slid the crisp material open. Moving closer, he touched his lips to the newly revealed skin as his hands stroked over the other's silky hair and back.

Kanda groaned at the feeling, his skin tingling pleasantly. Sinking onto the edge of the mattress, he pulled Allen forward to straddle him as he claimed his lips. Bracing one hand against his lover's back, he slid the other between their bodies, tugging open the button of Allen's pants. "Do you want me to touch you, Allen?" He whispered, moving his attention to the boy's throat.

Allen gasped as Kanda's hand slipped into his pants, his hips jerking forward with a soft whimper. "Yes, oh yes please.." He felt Kanda smile against his neck, his slow strokes becoming more bold as he spoke.

"Were you thinking about this, Allen? Did you imagine how this would feel?" He asked, licking the boy's neck, closing his teeth gently over the pulse point. Hearing Allen's ragged moan, he withdrew his hand, pushing Allen to his feet.

Wrapping his arms around the other's small hips, he hooked his fingers into the waistband of his pants, pushing them down as he pressed his mouth to Allen's stomach in short kisses. Running his hands up the boy's inner thighs, he lowered his head and trailed his lips over the skin of his waist as he slowly removed Allen's underwear.

Flushed with embarrassment, Allen moved to cover himself, his knees trembling. Kanda gently grasped his wrist, pulling his hand away as he shook his head.

"Do not be ashamed, koi.." He whispered, gazing up at the boy's blushing face, "Let me see you, please?"

Still pink, Allen allowed his hands to fall away, his eyes closed as he stood trembling before his lover's scrutiny. His eyes flew open in surprise as he felt Kanda's hands tighten on his hips, and he looked down just as the older boy placed his lips to the junction of his leg. "Kanda!" He cried, pulling away slightly.

'He.. Surely he can't mean to..to..' Allen thought, his mind numb at the erotic sight. Gasping, he tried to form words. "You shouldn't, I can't let you..!" His voice failed him as Kanda smiled up at him, amused at his panic.

"Can't let me what, Allen?" He teased, his voice low. "This?"

He lowered his mouth to enclose him, his tongue brushing across the tip slowly, and Allen's hands tightened almost painfully as he let out a strangled cry.

Kanda pulled back, bringing one hand up to grasp his lover firmly as he brushed his tongue over the sensitive flesh again. Feeling Allen shudder, he drew him closer, his other hand encircling his waist to support him as he continued to tease the boy with his mouth.

Allen couldn't believe that this was happening. Nothing could have prepared him for the feeling of Kanda's hands, his mouth...!

Kanda smiled to himself, pleased at Allen's responses. He pulled away, lifting his eyes to watch as Allen whimpered. Unable to resist, he applied a gentle suction, taking his length deep into his mouth, tasting his lover.

Allen gasped, his eyes wide as he fought to control his racing heart. "Kanda.." He begged, "Oh, stop, please stop.."

Smiling, Kanda relaxed his grip on the smaller boy, pulling him down to rest beside him on the bed.

"Didn't you like it, Allen?" He murmured, lifting himself to one side. Unable to respond, Allen stared at him incoherently. Kanda leaned over to whisper into his ear. "You tasted so sweet..."

Allen blinked, regaining is senses as he blushed at Kanda's statement.

Gazing into those deep blue eyes, he shifted himself closer, bringing their bodies against each other. "I want you so much.." He whispered, his voice breaking,"Please, Kanda, I need you.."

Kanda stiffened at the plea, for the first time unsure of himself. Though he was at least ..familiar.. with the basics of sex, he had to admit that there was something missing.

'There must be something,' He mused, wracking his lust-hazed brain, 'I don't want to risk hurting him..' His thoughts trailed off as a sudden revelation struck him.

Moving quickly to his feet, he walked into his washroom, leaving a very aroused and confused Allen behind to wonder what had come over him.

Jerking open the cabinet beneath the sink, Kanda began to rummage through it, flinging random toiletries in his hurry to locate the item he needed.

Muttering to himself, he reached to the very back of the space, feeling blindly for the object he sought. As his hand closed over the bottle in question, he remembered Lavi's ridiculous grin when he'd presented it to him last Christmas, and smiled.

"Massage oil, my ass." He muttered, smirking at the label. He chuckled, reading the name. 'Sakura..'

Realizing that he'd dashed off without a word, he sighed. 'Allen must think I've lost my mind,' He mused, returning to the bed.

Seeing his tense expression, Allen reached out to him. "Did I say something wrong?" He asked, worried that Kanda was upset with him.

Kanda smiled at his anxious tone. "No," He said, lowering himself over his small lover, "There was just something I needed to find."

Sighing, he kissed Allen deeply, feeling the boy's need through his panting breaths. "Are you sure that you want this, Allen?" He asked, his eyes serious. "I've heard that it may be... uncomfortable.. the first time." Allen smiled, his arms wrapping around the other exorcist's neck.

"I've never been so sure of anything. Please let me feel you.."

Nodding, Kanda slid his hand down to Allen's thigh, nudging his legs apart. Resting his weight on one arm, he thumbed open the lid of the bottle, whispering . "If I hurt you, stop me."

Allen shook his head, tilting his hips upwards. "You won't, I know it."

Gathering a generous amount of the slippery liquid in his palm, Kanda tried to remember those overheard voices, the things that they'd said he would need to do to prepare Allen for him.

Reaching down, he coated himself well, and rubbed the remainder through his fingers. Gently, he circled one finger over the tight muscles of Allen's opening, pressing lightly until the resistance lowered. Allen arched up sharply, biting down on his lip to stifle a noise of surprise at the feeling.

Pressing deeper, Kanda slowly began to move his finger back and forth, watching his lover's face for any sign of pain. Seeing none, he allowed himself to relax somewhat, dropping wet kisses onto the flushed skin of Allen's chest as he gently added another finger.

Allen closed his eyes, the slightly odd sensation gradually being replaced with a sense of renewed desire. Gasping, he rocked his pelvis against Kanda's hand, feeling his slight discomfort change into something else.

Whimpering, he tugged at Kanda's arm. "Please, Yuu.."

Kanda drew a shaky breath, removing his fingers slowly. "Are you sure, Allen?" He whispered, trembling with urgency. Allen nodded, lifting his legs to enclose him as he moaned. Positioning himself carefully, he pressed slowly downwards, the tip of his erection sliding easily into his love.

Allen cried out, his hands closing tightly on the sheets beneath him. Kanda stopped, his breathing labored. "Does it hurt?" He asked sharply, bracing himself to withdraw.

Opening his eyes, Allen shook his head. "I..I think it's supposed to.." He whispered, clasping his hands behind Kanda's neck, "But it doesn't hurt at all.. It.. It feels.." Shifting his hips, he gasped at the wave of pleasure that shot through him at the movement.

Kanda inhaled sharply, the hot tightness overwhelming his senses. His voice shaking, he nestled his face against Allen's neck. "Allen.. You feel so good.." He moved forward, slowly sheathing himself fully within that heat.

Allen gasped, his shoulders pressing back into the bed as he raised his hips. He clamped his hands to Kanda's back, urging him on.

Kanda resisted slightly, worried that things were progressing too quickly. Sensing his reluctance, Allen shifted his body again, moaning his name breathlessly.

"Kanda, please don't stop, please..!" He cried softly, "I need you..".

Shivering, Kanda shook his head. "I won't ever stop.. I promised you." He pulled back, whispering harshly at the friction he felt. "God, Allen.."

Thrusting forward again, he instinctively changed the angle of his body as he sought out Allen's most pleasurable spots. As he moved, he carefully gauged his partner's reaction to each thrust, and when he heard Allen release a startled cry, he smiled.

"Is that it, Allen?" He said, moving over the spot again, "Is this what you like?"

Allen nodded quickly, lifting his body to meet Kanda's as he moaned. "Yes, right there, oh God, Yuu..!"

Kanda increased the speed of his thrusts, slipping a hand between their bodies to stroke Allen's hardness in time with his movements. Allen gasped, wrapping his legs around the older boy's waist as he bucked beneath him.

He could tell that he was close to his limit, his breath coming in pained gasps as he shook. The feeling of Kanda's body against him, inside him, was overwhelming. Raking his nails down the taller boy's back, he arched up sharply, Kanda's name escaping him in a loud wail as his entire body froze.

Feeling the sudden jolt, Kanda groaned as Allen shuddered beneath him, his final thrusts drawing a strangled cry from him as he followed his lover into release. Slumping breathlessly onto Allen's heaving chest, he lifted a shaking hand to cup the boy's face as he kissed him slowly. Pulling back, he smiled down into Allen's sleepy grey eyes, his emotions almost frightening in their intensity.

"Are you all right?" He whispered, stroking his flushed cheek.

Allen nodded, his pulse evening out as he sighed in contentment. "I'm much better than just 'all right', Kanda." He frowned suddenly. "Your back, did I hurt you?"

Kanda laughed, his face reddening slightly. "It's fine, Moyashi," He mumbled, "Honestly.. I think I liked it. Just knowing that you felt that good was..." He trailed off, embarrassed.

Allen stared up at him, his eyes wide. Tightening his arms, he pulled Kanda to him, their foreheads touching. "You can't even begin to imagine," He whispered, "I've never felt anything so good."

Closing his eyes, Kanda relaxed. "I love you, Allen Walker.." He whispered, his voice catching. Allen smiled, his voice low as he replied.

"And I love you." Shifting slightly, he nudged Kanda onto his side, settling against him. "Could we stay like this for a while?" He asked, resting his head in the crook of Kanda's neck, breathing in the scent of his skin.

Kanda nodded, wrapping his arms around his love protectively. "As long as you like, koi."

The darkened room and the sound of Kanda's steady heartbeat lulled him, and he dozed, feeling more at home in those strong arms than he'd known was possible.

Kanda gazed down at the precious bundle in his arms, his eyes soft. Gathering him even closer, he dropped a light kiss against his face and closed his eyes, allowing himself to fall asleep, his grip on the boy beside him never loosening.
