Light My Passion With Your Fear

“It’s snowing, Lavi…”

Small flakes of white drifted and melted as they landed in Allen’s hands. But the snow remained frosty on his left hand where it emitted no warmth. “It’s been so long already?” Lavi mused thoughtfully. “Two months we haven’t returned to headquarters,” Allen replied dutifully. Timcanpy settled on top of its master’s head, preferring the warmth of its ‘nest’ than the rigid cold air. Lavi took Allen by the hand with a slight curve of the lips. “Come on, let’s go back inside. I’d rather have hot chocolate by the fireplace than stand and get wet in the snow.”

After getting back into the inn, Lavi went to the kitchen to get some hot drinks while Allen went back to his room and made a fire in the fireplace. “Do you have any idea where the Innocence might be?” Lavi asked, carrying two steaming hot mugs of chocolate in. “No, not yet. I don’t even think it’ll be in this town if there was. Perhaps in the outskirts, but not in the populated area, or we would’ve received information about it. Thank you,” Allen accepted the drink gratefully and carefully sipped so as not to scald his tongue.

“…Allen, are you lonely?”

Allen looked up in surprise at Lavi, who stared at him seriously. “At this rate, you might not even be able to go back to the headquarters during Christmas. Without Yu, won’t you feel alone?” Allen smiled resignedly. “It’s part of our responsibilities as exorcists. I’ll feel a little lonely, I guess but as long as I know that everyone is alive, that’s good enough. Right now, our priority is to end this war as soon as possible so that we can go back to peaceful days,” The general answered his subordinate.

“That’s right…”

All of a sudden, Lavi hugged Allen who nearly dropped his mug in surprise. “L-Lavi?!” “It’s cold, Allen…” Lavi mumbled, hiding his face in the crook between Allen’s neck and shoulder. Allen understood, Lavi felt the loneliness as well. Setting his mug down on the table, Allen guided Lavi to the couch. “Come here,” Allen patted his lap, sitting on the couch. Lavi laid on the couch, resting his head on Allen’s lap. “Why don’t you rest for a little while? Stressing too much on it wouldn’t do you good,” Allen coaxed, patting his head softly like a mother.

Lavi stubbornly wrapped his arms around Allen’s waist like a child. “I really want to see him…Am I being too selfish for thinking that way?” Allen chuckled softly. “What are you saying? You were the one who told me that selfishness is needed in love, you know. Now you’re being too selfless. I think that it would be wonderful if you could see him again.” “Muu…Allen is acting more mature than me, it’s unfair,” Lavi sulked.

“Now that’s because you’re acting like a child, Lavi and you like being indulged like this,” Allen calmly answered. “…Yeah, it’s because you’re warm Allen,” Lavi muttered, comfortably nestled against Allen. Allen had a soothing scent, like lavender and mint. He was fortunate to have Allen as a companion. “Am I now…Go to sleep, Lavi. I’ll go walk around town a bit further,” He stated as he gently pried Lavi’s arms off his waist, but Lavi managed a light peck on his cheek before Allen left.

~~~

The beads of rosewood were bound snugly around his wrist. Allen absently touched the bracelet. He smiled softly at the fond memory. Kanda had given it to him prior to their parting.

“Kanda, be a good boy and don’t let the temper bugs bite, okay?” Allen reminded as they walked down the corridor. “Che, I don’t have to be reminded by you, moyashi,” Kanda scoffed. Allen’s fingers wound tighter around Kanda’s. Everyone spared them from their inquisitive eyes as the couple were walking hand-in-hand in public. Today was the day Allen Walker would be setting off on his mission as a General.

Allen was very unwilling to let go of his hand when they reached the waterway. “Oi, moyashi…” Kanda muttered, “This is for you.” Very carefully, as if it was a ritual, Kanda slipped the rosewood bracelet onto Allen’s right wrist. Allen looked at Kanda, touched by the simple act itself, and even more so by the object given to him. “Kanda…I can’t take this. You’ve had it ever since you could remember, didn’t you?”

Kanda frowned and a light flush covered his cheeks. “I’m giving it to you now…So that…Well, you be reminded that I’m waiting when you’re about forget, or I’ll be coming after you with Mugen!” Allen chuckled at Kanda’s awkwardness in conveying his feelings. His hand pulled off the ribbon that hung around the collar of his shirt and just as gently, tied it on Kanda’s wrist where the bracelet once was. “Then you will get to keep this, Kanda. I find it gone; I’ll be coming after you.”

“Hn, those are big words coming from a moyashi,” Kanda snorted.

Allen caught him off guard when he kissed Kanda at that very moment. “I’ll come home soon, ne?”

Allen sighed. He hoped he could go back to the headquarters, even if it was only for a day. He missed Kanda terribly, though he was still holding up well. Kanda had a short fuse, and even shorter patience. It made him worry for his lover. “Well now, what do we have here?” A slinky voice sneaked up on Allen. Allen looked at him in shock. “You’re~!!”

Kanda was boiling mad. In his hand, tightly gripped was an image transmitter he had gotten from Komui, because the Supervisor knew that he secretly pined for his lover. But the first image he saw was not what he expected. ‘Damn it, Lavi! I trusted you…And Allen…’

“Ne, Kanda? This might be a little selfish of me, but can you walk me down to the waterway?” Allen asked quietly from beside him. “Of course I will,” Kanda answered firmly and laid soft kisses on his lips. “I’ll see your departure through, or I’ll be a failure as your lover.” Allen smiled. “Thank you, Kanda.”

Kanda thought deeply as they strolled towards their inevitable parting. A part of him was very reluctant to let go of the hand he held now, while another part chastised him for being so selfish. For the future they wanted, this was what they had to do, right? It was then Kanda decided that he’d give Allen his bracelet, the one item that was practically a part of him. And when Allen received it, his expression had been priceless. It was worth giving his bracelet away to see that tender expression on his younger love’s face. Allen then gave him his ribbon, tied neatly around his wrist.

It was a silly gesture, really, but Kanda treasured it. He watched Allen disappear behind the stone arch and was about to follow when a hand landed on his shoulder. “Yu,” the unnaturally quiet voice startled Kanda a bit. Lavi looked at him seriously. He pulled Kanda into an abrupt hug. “?! You baka usagi, do you want to be~” Kanda was interrupted by Lavi’s determined whisper. “I’ll protect him.” Kanda pulled back and stared in disbelief at the redhead. “I swear, I’ll protect Allen with all I have,” Lavi stated. “…See that you do,” Kanda answered, honour-bound to do so. His so-called best friend had pledged an oath to him, and it was his duty to answer to it.

Yet when Kanda saw the image of Lavi laying his head on HIS moyashi’s lap; jealousy, possession and rage clouded his judgement. He had trusted Lavi to look out for Allen, not to flirt with his lover! And Allen did completely nothing to prevent Lavi. Their soft voices were unheard, but Kanda did not want to know what they were saying. Flashing another glance at the device in his hand, he stopped short. Allen was faced with the enemy, Tyki Mikk. Becoming tense, Kanda watched to see what Allen would do. He crushed the object in his hand upon witnessing what had transpired between Tyki Mikk and Allen Walker…His Allen Walker.

The man hummed a tune as he strolled down the streets. What should he do today? Maybe he could play some cards and cheat some money off them. He was surprised when he saw a familiar white head amongst the crowd. “Well now, what do we have here?” The figure of Allen turned around sharply, gasping, “You’re~!!” Tyki closed a hand over his mouth. “Let’s not shout aloud now, shall we?” Allen critically appraised the Noah before him. There was nothing particularly new about him, except the black eye patch he wore over his left eye.

Allen grabbed the hand that stopped him from talking and started pulling him along hastily. Tyki was taken aback when he found himself in a rather narrow and dark alley. “Whoa, you’re not planning to do anything to me, are you?” Allen frowned at him, and whispered into his ear, “I’ve heard about you, from Lavi. There’s no reason for me to question your enmity, much less hurt you.” Tyki’s eyes widened. “…Bunny boy has been talking about me now, has he?” The handsome young man’s voice sounded a little wistful, and that was the moment Allen knew Tyki was the right one for Lavi.

Allen’s lips remain close to Tyki’s ears, as though he was afraid there would be someone eavesdropping on them. “He misses you so much. Lavi is holding that precious stone everyday like his life depends on it. And you…You’re lonely without him too, aren’t you?” His fingers ghosted upon Tyki’s eye patch. Tyki caught that hand and held it there. “……Can you take me to him?” Allen nodded and took Tyki by the hand, leading him through the throng of people to the inn where they stayed.

Allen ushered Tyki to a nearby seat. He sat at the piano that was placed at the lounge of the inn. Sensing Tyki’s confusion, Allen smiled in assurance. “If I play this song, he will wake and come for you.” Elegant fingers drifted on the ivory keys gracefully, and Allen’s voice joined the sweet chimes of music.

なんて　言いたかったんだろう？
What did you try to say?
僕に　背中見せた　君？

Were you the one left behind?
それとも　僕？
Or was it I?

Lavi stirred from the couch. He heard something familiar, someone singing. That voice was accompanied by melodious music from a piano. Sitting up and patting his hair down, Lavi blinked to get the fatigue out of his eyes. He recognized that voice now. Tyki smiled at the bitter irony of the song. He untied the black cloth slowly and replaced it over his right eye. He was going to see his beloved now.

なんて　言いたかったんだろう？
What did I try to say?
君に　背中向けた　僕？
I who faced your back?
伝えようとした　の　は　あんな言葉じゃない

置いて行かれた　の　は　君？
Were you the one left behind?
それとも　僕？
Or was it I?

Lavi made his way down to the ground floor of the inn, wondering what prompted Allen to play this song when he saw the man he had been longing to see after all the while. “This…This has to be a dream…” The redhead turned wildly to Allen at the piano, who smiled encouragingly at him. Tyki was also looking at him, his left eye watching Lavi with an intensity that it made Lavi feel as though he was burning with the heat of his emotions.

戻せない物
Things that can’t return,
帰せない物
Things that can’ turn back,
二人の中で　まだ生きている
They’re still living inside us,
それは　とっても　とても　小さいけれど
Even though they’re really, really small

Without looking back, Allen walked past Lavi towards the stairs and left his companion to do whatever he wished with his loved one.

~~~

‘I really hope they have a good talk together…’

Allen mused as he closed the door behind him. “Finally back, moyashi?” A scathing voice from the bed startled the white haired boy. Allen whirled around in surprise. “K-Kanda?! What are you doing here? You’re not supposed to take individual action from the headquarters, right?” Kanda was glaring spitefully at him. He strode up and snatched up Allen’s wrist. Allen was alarmed, because Kanda was holding him forcefully. “Strip. Now,” the Japanese ordered, to which Allen stared at him in ridicule. “Kanda, what are you~” Allen was interrupted when Mugen tipped his chin up.

“Do it,” Kanda hissed.

Allen gulped; Kanda was not acting normal. He took a deep breath to calm himself and did as Kanda told him to. His hands steadily unclasped the buttons of his uniform and let the coat crumple to the ground. Kanda watched his every move predatorily, his eyes never leaving Allen. Allen kept his unease down in the pits of his stomach, removing his boots before he took off his ribbon and shirt. Kanda’s gaze raked over Allen’s lithe frame hungrily as the starch shirt slipped off the slender slopes of his shoulders revealing alabaster skin.

Allen was taken aback once again, when Kanda dragged him and with one hand on his waist lifted him and threw him onto the bed. Setting Mugen and his own clothes aside, Kanda crawled into bed. Feeling nervous and a little fearful, Allen tried to back away. Kanda deftly moved and pinned both his hands down with one of his own. “Where do you think you’re going?” Kanda growled with a low voice, tightening his grip painfully. Allen flinched.

“You’re hurting me, Kanda…”

“It’s your fault.”

“W-Why~Kyaa…!!” Allen yelped as Kanda’s canines broke his delicate skin, drawing blood. The swordsman lapped up the blood and continued to mark Allen aggressively. Allen struggled, because this Kanda was not the Kanda he knew. “Kanda…Please, stop…” Allen pleaded but Kanda however fixed his eyes upon him as if Allen was not worthy of making such requests. “You were the one who betrayed me first,” Kanda snarled, yanking Allen’s pants off in a tug.

“D-Don’t! Sto~Aah…!”

Allen’s voice spiralled into a long moan when Kanda took him with his hand. “No…I don’t…Ngh…” Allen convulsed with every torturous stroke Kanda made. Not willing to give in easily, Allen resisted the urge to make any noise, fingers sealing his mouth. Little did Allen know, this denial of him encouraged Kanda to dominate the powerless body beneath him. Though verbally protesting, his body reacted to Kanda’s touches. Deciding to take things further, Kanda took Allen into his mouth, sucking and nipping the hardened length with intent of breaking Allen’s resilience.

Tears brim Allen’s eyes, who suffered from Kanda’s treatment. He bit his lips hard, not wanting to egg his unreasonable lover further on. Even so, being silent while Kanda was making him feel so much was agonizing. His frail resistance only served to goad Kanda on, who became very determined to hear Allen’s voice. Allen’s back arched with a wrench when Kanda pushed two fingers into his opening. “Hyaa~! Stop it…Kan…Haa…” Kanda was satisfied to have reached his objective, extremely aroused by the sight of his petite lover desperately trying not to yield to his obvious wants. This body that had joined with his so many times relented to this treatment alone…Kanda couldn’t wait to know how Allen would react when they went further.

Allen came with a jerk inside Kanda’s mouth, who swallowed his essence as it came. Trembling from release, Allen clenched his eyes shut. He couldn’t bear to look at Kanda, knowing exactly what expression he would have. Kanda’s lust grew stronger at his defiance. “Look at me, Allen,” Kanda ordered, forcing his legs apart. Shocked at Kanda’s actions, Allen’s eyes flew open wide. Without any warning, Kanda plunged himself into Allen, hips bucking under the force.

“Yaa…! No, stop!! Why…All this…?” Allen gasped at the sudden feeling of Kanda inside him.

“You’re mine. I won’t let anyone lay their hands on you!” Kanda exclaimed in anger.

“Nnh．．．Haa．．．No．．．”　Allen moaned, wincing in pain as he felt Kanda move inside him, having not been prepared properly.

Kanda was in bliss from Allen’s tightness around his erection, the muscles pulling and wrapping around him. Kanda pulled out and pressed in again with such brutal force the bed rocked beneath them. Allen’s fingers fisted the sheets, his body jerking with every thrust Kanda made. “Even if you hate it, I’ll make you understand. Only I can touch you!” The older one declared, “Your whole being belongs to me! Your heart, body and soul!”   

And then there was sudden clarity to why Kanda was acting in such a way.

“I’m here…I’m with you! So please…Look at me, Yu…”

Kanda looked in surprise at Allen, whose arms were held out. Allen, with that understanding smile, that slight hue of pink that darkened his cheeks, the dried trail of tears. Allen knew what Kanda thought now. And Kanda immediately felt remorse at what he had done.

“Allen…”

He accepted the younger one’s embrace and they kissed with desperate need for all physical contact.　But Kanda’s lust was already baited and he couldn’t stop himself as he continued with the forceful raping of his helpless lover. Allen’s fingers clawed into his back as Kanda relentlessly pounded into him, crying out aloud, seized by the ecstasy that accompanied each thrust. “Yu…Yu…I can’t…!”

White cum slicked their abdomens, Allen’s breathing was ragged. Kanda was also panting from their violent bout of sex. 　

“Allen, I... I’m sorry...I must’ve hurt you,” Kanda apologized immediately, gently licking Allen’s tear marks in regret.

“Yu...It’s alright. I understand what you must’ve felt...I’m at fault for not keeping in contact too, forcing you to feel so lonely.”

Allen kissed him softly once on his lips and again, and again until Kanda pulled away, looking pressured. “Allen, if you don’t stop that now, I won’t be able to control myself.” “I don’t mind. I want to be with you until we have to part again. You have to return to headquarters, don’t you?” Allen whispered. “Allen...” Kanda felt guilty that he had such a beautiful and forgiving lover. Allen reached out to pull Kanda down and kissed him as he whispered, “You just need to gently make love to me.”

“…This is why I love you,” Kanda murmured as he cupped Allen’s cheek, caressing his thighs comfortingly. He was already growing hard inside Allen. Allen’s touches were like aphrodisiac, igniting his desires. Allen whimpered in bliss, feeling Kanda’s building erection within him. “Don’t force yourself...okay?” Kanda asked, worried that his rough actions before may have hurt Allen. Allen shook his head, smiling at him. “I want this too. Two months were long…And for you who can hardly stand a week alone, it’s wonderful. So consider this a reward for your patience.”

“Allen…I don’t deserve that…” Kanda muttered quietly. “Yu…Somebody’s told me before that you can be selfish in love. That was how you showed me your selfishness. I was a little shocked, and scared but I know that it is you and this is the way you showed me how much I mattered to you. I want you to know that I love you just as deeply, okay?” Allen coaxed, nudging his cheeks a little in an attempt to cheer him up.

“Then…Can I continue pleasuring you till dawn?” Kanda nuzzled the crook of his neck.

Allen kissed his forehead lightly. “Be my guest.”

~~~

Lavi didn’t hold back, flinging his arms around the taller man in a tight hug. Tyki held him back just as tightly, both relishing each other’s warmth. “I thought…I thought I won’t ever see you again…” Lavi whispered against the shell of Tyki’s ear, sighing in content at that familiar smoke scent. “Still as clingy as ever, aren’t you?” Tyki teased, burying his nose into the mess of red locks.

“I’m not clingy! I’m just…I just wanted to see you…And touch you…Feel you…” Lavi muttered, a deep blush tinting his cheeks. Tyki smiled at the younger one. “What a coincidence. I feel just the same too,” he answered as he nuzzled Lavi’s cheeks affectionately. Lavi blushed harder and tugged at Tyki’s hand. “Let’s go to my room. Talking like this in public is not good.” Tyki obediently followed after the heir of Bookman, fingers intertwined as they walked. Lavi unlocked the door and closed it behind them as they entered. It was a really good thing that he had a room on a separate floor from Allen. He wouldn’t want to bother Allen after all the young general had done for him.

“Why are you wearing this?” Lavi asked, touching the eye patch that covered Tyki’s right eye. It was the very one he had stolen from Lavi as a token of memory. “Because…I want this eye to be pure when it looks at you. I don’t want this dirty eye to see you, this other side of me that can do nothing but hurt you,” the Portuguese Noah answered slowly, catching Lavi’s wavering hand and kissing his fingertips. “…Why…Why has it got to be like this? C-Can’t you leave the Earl or something?” Lavi suddenly pleaded, his other hand clutching Tyki’s collar.

Tyki’s eyes opened wide at Lavi’s blatant suggestion. A grimace-like smile appeared on Tyki’s face. “I can’t. I bound to him the way all the Noah children are. And the only reason I’m not letting my Noah cause mass destruction now is you, sweetheart. You’re the one who’s pushing him down, controlling him and locking him in a cage. You tamed him.” Lavi seemed extremely disheartened. “How long do we have to wait, until we can be together? I want to stay with you. I want to be selfish; I want to lock you up and never let you see daylight if it means keeping you close to me!” The redhead exclaimed a little too drastically.

“Why can’t you come over to us?” Tyki murmured softly, though desperately hoping Lavi would not agree. He wanted Lavi to stay untainted by their sin. “As a Bookman, you’re supposed to be impartial in the war, right?” Tyki could not control the words flowing like calm waters from his mouth. This was his own selfishness, wanting Lavi with him even though it might destroy him. Lavi gazed longingly into Tyki’s golden orbs, but turned away after a while. Head hung low, he stated,

“I…can’t. I have my obligations…My duty, as the heir of Bookman…”

Lavi’s hand gripped at his chest tightly. “Mustn’t have a heart…Unnecessary. Unneeded. Thrown. Discarded.”

Tyki’s brows furrowed together in concern. Immediately, he held Lavi closely in his arms, whispering soothing words into his ears. “You’ve found mine, and I’ve found yours. Don’t say you don’t need it, please. Your heart is very important to me. So important…” Lavi’s arms came around Tyki’s back, hanging on to him. Tears poured out from his brilliant green eye. Lavi resented his tears; he had been crying too much. “I knew this would happen, I knew. But still…Only you, Tyki. I only ever wanted you. Why can’t this one simple wish be granted?”

“Because God doesn’t grant wishes, sweetheart. He does nothing.”

“I don’t care! At least, please stay with me for the night, Tyki,” Lavi mumbled with a quivering voice.

“Anything for you, Lavi,” Tyki responded with such sincerity it hurt Lavi to listen to his voice.

Tyki kissed the tears away, slowly coaxing Lavi to relax as he took off Lavi’s uniform. Lavi impatiently brought up his own hands to remove Tyki’s clothing. “So are you still the sweet little virgin I encountered in the forest during the storm?” Tyki joked, trying to lighten the mood. They should be happy with what they have together now. To Tyki’s amusement, Lavi blushed like a tomato. “I’m not a virgin! ...At least not anymore…” “Your hesitating look is sinful to gaze upon. It makes me want to eat you,” Tyki mentioned and nibbled on the lobe of Lavi’s ear.  

Lavi squirmed at the pleasant feeling, shying away unintentionally from Tyki’s touch. “Don’t say such embarrassing things…”

“But my sentiment remains true,” the dark haired man answered honestly, letting his tongue draw aimless patterns on Lavi’s chest before biting down softly. “Nnh…Tyki…” Lavi’s fingers tangle into the wild ebony hair, feeling its softness as Tyki continued to move further down until he reached the rigid organ. Smirking a little, he ran his tongue along the length, causing Lavi to moan aloud, who instantly clamped his mouth shut after that. Tyki frowned and whispered, “Let your voice out. I want to hear how good you feel with me.” Lavi quavered at the sensation of hot breath brushing the sensitive skin of his erection.

“Aah…Ahh…”

Lavi continued to moan; Tyki licking and sucking delightedly on him, marking every possible skin he could find. Lavi shuddered as he came in Tyki’s hands. Tyki took his time in slowly licking his inner thighs clean of cum, driving Lavi to restlessness. “Here comes the complicated bit…” Tyki muttered, slowly inserting a finger into Lavi. Lavi stiffened at the invasion, but Tyki distracted him with butterfly kisses to his lips and collarbone as he pushed in another finger.

“It hurts…”

Lavi’s fingers found comfort in scraping Tyki’s back, pain biting at his insides. Tyki probed about with his digits, searching for the special spot that would give Lavi his ecstasy. After a drawn moment of pain, a jolt of pleasure struck Lavi and he jerked against Tyki’s fingers. Tyki grinned in satisfaction. “Does this feel good?” He deliberately stroked him slowly. “Hyaa…Not there…Nnh…” Lavi whined a little. Tyki pointedly ignored the weak protest and continued to caress Lavi’s prostrate, drawing moans and mewls from the smaller body beneath him. Lavi’s breathing became spasms, edging ever closer to coming.

Deciding that he was prepared, Tyki withdrew his fingers and pushed himself inside Lavi. Lavi tensed, and tried to loosen up for Tyki. Tyki waited patiently for Lavi to be ready before setting a steady rhythm to their union. Lavi’s short gasps soon turned into moans of bliss. “Lavi…” Tyki added another pace by pumping his lover’s length. “Haa…More…Tyki…!” Lavi demanded in a breathless voice. And who was Tyki to deny his angel of his desires when he was waiting for this moment as well?

“I’m going to come…!”

Lavi climaxed at the dizzyingly satisfying feeling washed over him, Tyki coming inside of him with a last thrust. Panting for air, Tyki slowly pulled out and settled onto the bed beside his redhead, taking him into his arms. “Lavi, I love you.” Those four words have never meant more to Lavi than anything else. “…Say it again,” Lavi asked quietly. Tyki smiled. “I love you.” For them both, who could be facing each other on the battlefield tomorrow morning, there was still hope of love. “Again,” Lavi insisted in a childlike manner. Tyki chuckled softly.

“I love you, Lavi.”

Lavi’s smile was radiant.

“I love you, Tyki.”
