Title: Art Project Annoyance (though for this part I'd like to say "The Popcorn War of Doom"? *shot*
Players: a1y_puff As Allen, and harmony283 as Kanda, Lavi and Daisya (Yeah I know, Mandy does most of the work >__>;;
Fandom: D.Gray-Man
Characters: Kanda, Allen, Lavi, Daisya. Mention of Tiedoll.
Genre: Friendshippy
Summary: So basically there are Allen, Kanda, Lavi and Daisya watching The Ring in the guestroom in Tiedoll’s house. And basically, Daisya’s a pervert and a scaredy cat. :/
Warning: Popcorn war. Mention of Edward Cullen for no sane reason.
“Daisya?”
“Y-Yeah?”
“Shut the fuck up and watch the damn movie.”
And thus Daisya got the popcorn bowl dumped on his bed.
“And get us more popcorn while you’re at it!”
And Allen only watched in amusement as Daisya grumbled but got up and out anyway.
"You guys are mean," Allen commented, but there was no sympathy in his voice. And, no, he wasn't quite smirking.
“Like y’really mean that, sprout,” Lavi leaned over and pinched his cheek, “you’re smirking like y’just -I dunno…won the lottery and screwed someone over while doing it.”
Allen’s face fell, and Kanda snorted, “Like he’d be able to fucking go through with that anyway.” He paused, “Besides…Daisya deserved it. He caused this shit to happen in the first place.”
Which was true, and sombered the mood quickly.
It took a few seconds of said silence for Lavi to whisper, “He…really did, right? By tryin’ ta lean on ya?”
Allen looked away, not really wanting to talk about it, but-
"Yeah."
And he hated it-more for the fact that it made him feel-weak, this anti-touch thing.
“Neh well, if it makes ya feel better, then-” He looked at Kanda and made shooing motions, “Why don’t cha switch places? That way you’ll be sittin’ in-between me’n Yuu, and he won’t have t’lean on ya. Though” He gave Kanda another look. “I think we’ll just switch places cuz I doubt he’d want t’sit next t’Yuu.”
Kanda scowled, “And you can horde the fucking popcorn.”
“Y’don’t like it anyway so I don’t see the problem~”
“I-” Really? Kanda didn’t know what to say to that…so he hissed.
And apparently that was funny, somehow.
Because Allen was laughing.
"I'm sorry," Allen said, still chuckling a little. "It's just-I-wonder if this is how it feels to have brothers."
And his laughter died down, morphing into a small smile as he watched Lavi and Kanda switched places and-kinda trapping him in the middle of them.
“Neh, well, I wouldn’t know more’n you, sprout,” Lavi laughed, looping an arm around Allen’s shoulders and squeezing, “I’m an only kid too, y’see?”
Kanda snorted, “If you had siblings you wouldn’t fucking care would you?”
“Aww, well I care about you two don’t I? You’re my little brother,” He patted Allen’s shoulder, “And you,” He looked towards Kanda, “Uh….not m’twin but-close enough?”
“….the fuck?”
And that just made Allen laugh harder.
“T-twins-” Allen gasped in between laughter, clutching at his stomach and bending until his head touched his knees.
Damn, he had laughed too much today. And he didn’t even know why he laughed so easily today. And apparently, he laughed hard enough until his tears were coming out and-that was kind of embarrassing, really.
“Is it…really that funny?” Lavi wondered in mild disbelief as Allen wiped the edges of his eyes and continued to, well…wheeze. “Err…sprout, you okay?” He nodded but Lavi didn’t really believe him, “Uh….can you-are you even breathing?”
That was a legitimate question, right?
“Of course he’s fucking breathing. He wouldn’t be laughing if he wasn’t.” Kanda snorted, and, on a whim, jabbed Allen in the side.
And Allen jerked aside and straightened up, more because of the jab was so sudden and-"Th-that hurt, stupid! What was that for?"
“To get you to stop laughing?” Kanda scowled, “It’s-”
“That’s-“ Lavi cut him off-
“I have popcorn!” Daisya cut them both off. Arriving in the doorway with a huge bowl of popcorn and grinning from ear to ear.
Daisya. King (Queen?) of Bad timing.
“Oh hey, did we play musical…err places-to-sit-on-bed?” Daisya plopped himself down next to Lavi, handing him the bowl of popcorn. “I mean not that it’s bad but…want some popcorn?”
“Yeah sure!” Lavi greedily took the popcorn bowl, “What about you, All-en?” He was desperate to get a smile back on his face, even if it was a little….forced.
And Allen's was no better than Lavi's. "Yeah, sure," he replied and easily accepted the popcorn from Lavi-who gave him the popcorn carefully like he was going to spill it-which he wouldn't...maybe.
And with that-Allen felt the atmosphere kind of shift, although Daisya seemed oblivious to it all.
“Dun eat it all, okay? We haven’t even, well,” He turned to the movie and frowned, “…we ‘aven’t really been payin’ attention at all have we?” He turned to Kanda, “what’s going on?”
Kanda snorted, “Fuck if I know.”
Lavi pouted, “Don’t ask me-“ Daisya murmured from his seat, “I hate this movie.”
“Well then, All-en-” Allen stopped mid-handful of popcorn and frowned, mouth full, “Can y’tell me what’s goin’ on?~”
Allen blinked. "Eeeh..." glanced at the screen. "Oh, we're gonna be shown that accursed video in a sec-"
And before he even finished talking, there was a scream.
Which had Daisya flying from his seat and scrambling for the remote, “Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. I hate this part!”
“But it’s only the beginning, Daisy~”
“Don’t call me that!”
Lavi laughed, “What? It’s obvious a person can’t go through the television screen much less, well…..never mind guess I shouldn’t say that.”
“This is why I never watch horror movies with you.” Kanda groaned, “You talk too damn much.”
“And ruin the mood?” Allen piped in. “Like, there’s no suspense if someone keeps talking during a horror movie-Oh look, Sadako’s crawling closer.”
With that Daisya let out another high screeched scream -flailing back on the bed and grabbing the pillow.
“Aww Allen, you’re mean.” Lavi laughed, grabbing the popcorn and stuffing some in his mouth-and Kanda, well, looked disgusted.
“What. The. Fuck?”
“Want some Yuu?”
“Hell n-”
“Aww why not? Neh, Allen make him eat some! Make ‘im!” Lavi shoved the bowl back on Allen’s lap-“He needs t’try it at least once!”
Allen glanced at Kanda who is glaring at him in warning, then he glanced at the popcorn bowl and-
His lips formed that unholy grin before swiftly grabbed a handful of popcorn and attempted to force it into Kanda's mouth, unconsciously straddling him in the process.
And that got unnecessary howls of approval. Ones Kanda really didn't think were needed, as he tried shoving Allen back off him-"Fuck you don't-" He choked a bit and Allen paled, stopping his hands for only a moment -a moment enough for Kanda to get the high ground-forcing some of the pieces of popcorn littered around them into Allen's mouth. "I don't need to be fucking fed Moyashi."
"Yeah but you still haven't had any popcorn, Yuu!"
"Tch doesn't mean you have to force feed me!"
"Neh, well," Lavi leaned across Allen, picking up a piece of popcorn and popping it into his mouth. "How's about this-?"
And thus he planted a kiss on Kanda's lips-forcing his mouth open with his tongue and forcing the popcorn piece into his mouth before retreating with a wild grin. "There, see? Dun spit it out, Yuu~ That'd be gross!~"
And to say Allen was surprised is an understatement. His eyes went wide and-could anyone really blame him if he was gaping?
"Wha-"
And yes, Kanda looked pissed, but he didn't look like he was going to scream bloody murder at Lavi-who was grinning as Kanda swallowed the popcorn.
Allen didn't quite know what to think of that. Then again, maybe he shouldn't try to think while he was still kinda gaping. In Kanda's lap.
Which was amusing in and of itself, “….would you get off me?” Allen floundered for a moment before slipping off and -well-nearly crashing to the floor.
“Woah-Sprout!” Lavi caught his shoulder though, completely ignoring the now laughing Daisya who had his face conveniently still covered with said pillow he’d grabbed earlier. “Jeez is it that…weird to see two guys kiss? I mean you-” Wait. Did he really want to say that in front of Daisya?
Uh. No.
He ruffled Allen’s hair instead, helping him sit back up, “Guess it was a little sudden, neh? Forgot you might not be used to that.”
“Who fucking would be?” Lavi was almost proud to see Kanda filch another piece of popcorn and pop it into his mouth, “You do that all the fucking time -it’s……..no one can be expected to…not react to that when they haven’t seen it.”
“Love you too, Yuu~”
"...okay...?" Allen started uncertainly, and-even if he wasn't quite sure of what to think, maybe he could just-dismiss it as...Lavi being Lavi...?
Then he shifted so that he was sitting properly on the bed and grabbed a handful of popcorn, popping them into his mouth.
He eyed Kanda a little curiously. "So...you're used to it."
And Allen himself didn't know if he meant Lavi being absurd in general or-well.
Kanda frowned, “Why the fuck are you asking that…now?” Allen cringes a little and Kanda sighs, grabbing a handful of popcorn and tossing a piece at Daisya’s head, “sissy.”
“I’m not a sissy!”
“Then what the fuck are you doing?”
“Erm…I’m sleepy?” Kanda could feel Allen’s eyes on him but pointedly. Ignored it. The fuck was his problem? Really?
“Then wake up.”
“But-”
“Leave him, Kanda,” Allen commented casually. “It’s okay to be a sissy, right?”
Even though his face was perfectly neutral, Allen couldn’t really help the tiny spark of kinda-sorta-mockery in his eyes.
And no, Allen didn’t feel bad at all.
“Yeah, see? It is okay to be-wait.” Daisya peered out from behind the pillow, “Hey! That’s-that’s mean, lil’bro,” Allen frowned, just a little, “Kanda’s rubbing off on you -the wrong way.”
“Aww I don’t think they hang out enough to do that~” Lavi teased, poking Kanda in the side, “Though they do fight an awful lot…so there could be a lot of-”
“LAVI”
They shouted in union, but it was Allen who went on ahead, "belt up already, Lavi."
Allen didn't even want to know what Lavi would have said had they not cut him off. He didn't want to hear about UST or any nonsense like that, especially when Kanda now knew what it meant. It could be bloody awkward.
...and Lavi was laughing at them-at him because...no, he definitely wasn't blushing. He went to smack Lavi's arm instead.
“M’just teasin’, y’know.” Lavi laughed as he dodged the playful (he hoped) swat, “No need to get your panties in a bunch.”
“You wear panties?” Allen flushed even further.
“Oh hell,” Somehow -that made things all the more funny. Even if-
“Why the fuck would you want to know that?” Kanda cut off whatever thought he had, frowning a little in disgusted amusement. “It’s not true….is it Moyashi?” He paused, “Not that I’d be surprised…”
"Of course not!" Allen said indignantly, frowning. "Who would-I don't-why are you guys ganging up on me?"
He threw them a dirty look and pout, grabbing a handful of popcorn and munching on them.
“Cuz you’re easy to pick on?” Lavi supplied, reaching for the popcorn only to have Allen hold it away from him, “Aww c’mon now All-en! Don’t be a spoil-sport! What’s a little teasing gonna do t’ya?”
"Nothing other than wanting to get a sweet little revenge," Allen smiled, freakishly sweet, before-grabbing a handful of kernels and, "Here you go, La-vi~"
And threw them to Lavi's face.
“Ey! Ey! No fair!” Lavi fumbled to grab at the pillow Daisya was still conveniently hiding behind, “Meanie!”
“Tch if you make a mess, you clean it up.” Kanda groaned, frowning and shifting a little farther away from Allen and the dreaded popcorn bowl.
That didn’t exactly save him, before Allen was tossing a few kernels at him. The hell?
"You can make a mess too, so you can clean up," Allen grinned and-throw more kernels at Kanda, who growled at him and attempted to grab the bowl from him, but Allen held it away and laughed again when he noticed a few kernels got stuck in Kanda's hair.
“Wuh-oh!” Lavi laughed from his position of trying to claim Daisya’s pillow, “Yuu your hair’s all messed now! All messed!”
Kanda blinked and immediately reached up, frowning when a few kernels landed in his palm, “Tch…fucking disgusting.” He took a few kernels and tossed them at Allen’s hair, “What the fuck is your problem? You’re such a…kid.”
"Maybe I am. I'm still 15," Allen retorted easily. though now that Kanda mentioned it-well. When was the last time he acted like a kid? He-hadn't really got the chance or the inclination to act childish for a long time now, so why-now?
Somehow, though... being around Kanda and Lavi kind of-made him-maybe, a little...want to be the child that he actually was. And that realization was kind of embarrassing and-and--
“Yeah you might be but-” Kanda frowned at the suddenly…shocked…expression on Allen’s face, like he’d realized something painful …? His scowl deepened and he rubbed the kernels even harder against Allen’s head, “since when did you fucking act it.”
“N’yeahhh well, Yuu, y’know-” Allen let out a squawk when Lavi looped his arms lazily around Allen’s shoulders, resting his chin on Allen’s head, and pillow currently forgotten, “That’s not a ba-a-d thing, is it?”
“Yeah, is it?” Daisya agreed, crawling over, “I mean you got every right to be a kid once in a while, right?”
And that-kind of made him want to smile. so he leaned against Lavi a little more and-
"Right."
-started throwing popcorn kernels at Kanda again, which made Kanda growl and-rub more kernels against his hair now. "Hey~ you'll get it sticky!"
So he threw some more kernels in retaliation, and this time, to Lavi and Daisya too.
“Ouch!” Lavi groaned when one somehow got stuck in his nose. How the heck did that even happen? He snorted, trying to get it out, only to have a kernel hit him in the eye, “The -hell? Okay, okay stop I’m being murdered by Popcorn. That’s so not cool.”
Daisya, in the mean time, looked like he was about to die laughing.
And Kanda? Well-“Then fucking wash it. It’s girly enough as it is.” He dropped the few kernels in his hand, one disappearing beneath Allen’s shirt (not that he cared about that, but) -“Tch…did you ever think about cutting it?”
"What? It's not-" Allen brought a hand to card through his hair-catching a few kernels in the process and he wrinkled his nose at that-and well. Was it girly? It wasn't even that long-was it? Then again... it wasn't like he particularly cared that much about his hair. He hadn't changed his hairstyle since when he was-what, ten?
And admittedly, "No... I-didn't really have time for it..." wait. Why should he cared about what Kanda said about his hair?
“Eh, really? It doesn’t take that long t’cut hair.” Daisya leaned in a little closer, this time actually hesitating before taking a few strands in his hair. “It is kinda long…not that long, I mean it looks good on ya and all, but…do you pull it back when you get hot? It’s gotta be a pain on hot days.” He frowned a little, helping card some of the kernels out of his hair, “Heck I could cut it for ya for free. How about it?”
Maybe it was because what Daisya said was true-all of them, that yeah, sometimes his hair got a little bothersome, and maybe, it was the 'free' comment that kind of got him-but mostly, maybe because this time, Daisya at least sounded sincere. Like-he didn't have any other motives behind so-
"Umm, o-kay?" he replied, one hand lightly grabs Lavi's hand while his eyes were-throwing glances at Kanda.
“Really?” Daisya’s eyes widened, “Sweet! You want to now? I mean it’s not like we’re actually watching this movie anyway.” He cast a glance at the screen and shuddered, “Though uh yeah you’d need to wash your hair first…we can do that in the sink if you don’t wanna take a shower again.” He flashed a wide smile that, on any other day, would have been a cause for alarm, but Lavi simply squeezed Allen’s hand back and nodded.
“Seems like somethin’ better t’do anyway. Neh, Yuu can we all fit in the downstairs bathroom?”
“How the fuck would I know that?”
Lavi snorted, “Right, right, yeah you wouldn’t.”
“…What are you getting at?”
“Does it matter?” Daisya cut him off, still smiling, “I’ll go get my stuff-it’s in my room. Thankfully my boss let me take some stuff home. He said I’m really good at what I do an’ all so,” He looked from Kanda to Lavi, “You know what shampoo’s best to use right?” Kanda shrugged, “’kay then I’ll leave that up t’you.” And with that he was gone, dashing nosily up the stairs and-
“At least he didn’t say it out loud.”
Allen blinked.
“Err, I mean-”
Kanda sighed, “Tch…you fucking said it. You explain.” And with that he, too, was up and out of the room. So he had to waste his good shampoo on the Moyashi? Things could be worse. Much, much worse. “This is so gay.”
Because, well, it was that too.
He frowned as Lavi helped him out of bed and led him to the door. "What are you talking about?" Allen asked curiously.
“Err, well,” Lavi laughed nervously, making sure no one else was around before leaning down and whispering, “He…tends to like to experiment when he’s given a -free test subject. Um…it’s usually never bad and it actually turns out pretty awesome…but if you don’t want your hair highlighted some bright color-tell him, ‘kay?” He reached up and ruffled Allen’s hair, “He’d have a field day with your hair color.”
That made his eyes widen. "Experiment?" and then, in a little louder, more incredulous voice, "hair color?"
Oh hell no, he wouldn't-not that he liked his white hair but-he'd gotten so used to it and-"You sure I'll be okay there?" Allen asked a little warily.
“Yeah, we’ll be here too, remember?” He smiles then and pats Allen on the head, grimacing a little at the grease he can feel there, “Uh yeah but-Hey Yuu! You found the shamp-”
oo?
Well.
He found it all right.
“Ouch, dammit you didn’t have to throw it at me!”
“Then shut the fuck up! That’s just the shampoo!”
“Well you didn’t need to throw it,” Allen mumbled, not really thinking why he should be the one to-complain. But he shrugged anyway, and-accepted the shampoo from Lavi.
It was a-he opened the cap and smelled it.
Mint.
“Oh. This is…” what Kanda usually used, huh.
“This is…?” Lavi stopped rubbing his head long enough to take a better look at the bottle, “Oh yeah, well he has to use the good kind with how long his hair is. Even better that he gets the crap for free -and they know it.” Allen raises an eyebrow at that, “Well Daisya uses a different kind, plus he’s thinkin’ of shavin’ his hair off anyway…and this kind doesn’t work on hair like Tiedoll’s. Too frizzy.” He pats Allen’s hair, “but your hair’s the same texture as Yuu’s so it works.” He smiled then, a little wider, “Plus you’ll know even more about what he smells like, neh? It’ll help?”
Allen had no idea why but he kind of find it-embarrassing. But really, why should it?
"Uhh. Yeah, sure."
Then he walked with Lavi to the direction of the shower and-"So I just-wash it in the sink then?"
That sounded difficult. And uncomfortable. Not that he ever tried but-wouldn't his arms bend in an awkward angle if he had to shampoo his hair on the sink?
“Ah, well…I guess…this’d be easier if we had a retractable…” Lavi looked towards the shower head and grinned, “Oh wait this one is retractable.” He walked over and detached it easily, extending it until it was a good enough length. “Lemme test the water first, an’ then I can help ya if y’want? Just sit on th’floor by the tub an’ lean your head back, ‘kay?”
Well. That certainly would be easier.
"Okay, thanks," Allen replied easily and smiled, before walking to the tub and sat down on the floor, leaning his head back against the tub as Lavi told him and waited.
With that said, Lavi kicked off his shoes and stepped into the tub, careful to keep the spray away from him as he started to wet Allen’s hair. Shortly afterward he began to lather in the shampoo-smiling as Allen inhaled deeply, “Y’like the smell do ya?” Allen jolted a bit and Lavi laughed, “Nothing wrong with that. Yuu does end up smellin’ really good and th’ shampoo is obviously a part of that~” For once he wasn’t teasing, or at least-not really.
It was still cute to see Allen blush, though.
"Umm. Yeah. It's the shampoo that I like," Alen said as if needing to clarify that. For what reason, he didn't know. But he stopped thinking once Lavi started massaging his scalp and-he just closed his eyes then, and enjoyed the treatment.
“Huwah, well that’s good. At least it isn’t bubblegum flavored.” Lavi chuckled, lathering up Allen’s hair before running the spray over the suds, making sure the shampoo didn’t dribble into his eyes in the processes, “You’d probably be amused by that story, but I guess it depends on if ya wanna get in’ta a gigglin’ fit y’can’t stop.”
"...well now you got me curious," he said, nearly opening his eyes to look up at Lavi but he kept it close when he felt a drop of water trickling down near his eyes before Lavi wiped it away. "What story is that?"
“Eh, well it started when we accidentally got some gum in Yuu’s hair.” Allen’s eyes widened, “What? It wasn’t my fau-okay maybe it kinda was but I told Yuu to let go so he totally deserved it.” Even if he sort of didn’t, and even if Allen was probably even more confused than when he started, “Err, well you know those inflatable slides?” Allen gave a hesitant nod, “He pushed me down one. I grabbed him so we slid down t’gether and ….I was chewing gum so it sorta…got in his hair when I landed on him. Long story short,” Allen snorted, “We had t’get his hair cut-not too much y’know. His hair was long even then-and since we were out at the time we decided to stop by the store and grab some stuff-y’know candy, rubber bands, tampons,” That made Allen’s eyes widen, “sparkles, balloons, shampoo-”
"Waitwaitwait-what?" Allen blinked up at him. "What did you need tampons for-" he trailed off and, with a skeptical look, he said, "sparkles? Did you want to-I don't know, imitate Edward Cullen?" and he snorted at that.
“Uh…you watched that movie?” Lavi snickered regardless and shrugged, spraying a bit of the water in Allen’s face in retaliation, “Not gonna tell ya what the tampons were for but the glitter wet in Yuu’s hair-an’ so did the shampoo-the pink, bubble gum shampoo.” Allen’s eyes bulged at that, as he attempted to grab the nearest towel to wipe his face off, “Now do ya still wanna know how we got the shampoo-”
"Of course I do. How did you even get it anywhere near his head-when it's pink and all-" and now” he was looking very curious up at Lavi, who was grinning that unholy grin of his.
“Well obviously I had t’get in with him.” Allen nearly bolted upright at that but Lavi didn’t let him, “What? Not like we were naked or anything, jeez.” Lavi laughed, “We didn’t tell ‘im what kind it was, an’ -I mean we somehow convinced ‘im to let me wash his hair-since he didn’t really trust anyone near his head back then ‘cept me an’ maybe Tiedoll on a good day.” Lavi trailed off, shaking his head, “I think he was really, really pissed or somethin’ cuz I managed t’just keep him talkin’ until he really smelled it -then -ahah…ha…let’s not go there but damn it was hilarious! We mixed some of th’ glitter into the shampoo-by the way ‘we’ is Daisya an’ me-and just-damn~ It was funny~”
And that made Allen laugh. Snickering helplessly with his shoulders violently shaking and-he'd get his shirt wet at this rate because he had his head bent down in reflex and-dammit his stomach hurt.
"Oh my god-" he gasped in between laughter, "I so want to see that-"
“No you wouldn’t.” Lavi and Allen both jumped when they saw Kanda standing there in the doorway-glaring-“Why the fuck did you tell him that?”
“Because it was funny?”
“And landed you in the hospital for nearly a week?” Kanda tossed the conditioner and Lavi caught it, placing it down in the tub a moment later, “You don’t know how to keep your mouth shut do you?”
“Well it was funny before then.” Lavi grumbled, “I mean-seriously? Yuu did ya have to bring up the-”
“Found it!” They all jumped this time when Daisya skidded to a halt just outside the door, a pair of very sharp looking scissors in his hands, “Jeez I can’t believe these took so long to fi- oh hey did I walk in at a bad time?”
Kanda sat on the toilet seat, “You always come in at a bad time.”

“Y-Yeah?”
“Shut the fuck up and watch the damn movie.”

Kanda scowled, “And you can horde the fucking popcorn.”
“Y’don’t like it anyway so I don’t see the problem~”
“I-” Really? Kanda didn’t know what to say to that…so he hissed.
And apparently that was funny, somehow.
Because Allen was laughing.
"I'm sorry," Allen said, still chuckling a little. "It's just-I-wonder if this is how it feels to have brothers."
And his laughter died down, morphing into a small smile as he watched Lavi and Kanda switched places and-kinda trapping him in the middle of them.
“Neh, well, I wouldn’t know more’n you, sprout,” Lavi laughed, looping an arm around Allen’s shoulders and squeezing, “I’m an only kid too, y’see?”
Kanda snorted, “If you had siblings you wouldn’t fucking care would you?”
“Aww, well I care about you two don’t I? You’re my little brother,” He patted Allen’s shoulder, “And you,” He looked towards Kanda, “Uh….not m’twin but-close enough?”
“….the fuck?”
And that just made Allen laugh harder.
“T-twins-” Allen gasped in between laughter, clutching at his stomach and bending until his head touched his knees.
Damn, he had laughed too much today. And he didn’t even know why he laughed so easily today. And apparently, he laughed hard enough until his tears were coming out and-that was kind of embarrassing, really.
“Is it…really that funny?” Lavi wondered in mild disbelief as Allen wiped the edges of his eyes and continued to, well…wheeze. “Err…sprout, you okay?” He nodded but Lavi didn’t really believe him, “Uh….can you-are you even breathing?”
That was a legitimate question, right?
“Of course he’s fucking breathing. He wouldn’t be laughing if he wasn’t.” Kanda snorted, and, on a whim, jabbed Allen in the side.
And Allen jerked aside and straightened up, more because of the jab was so sudden and-"Th-that hurt, stupid! What was that for?"
“To get you to stop laughing?” Kanda scowled, “It’s-”
“That’s-“ Lavi cut him off-
“I have popcorn!” Daisya cut them both off. Arriving in the doorway with a huge bowl of popcorn and grinning from ear to ear.
Daisya. King (Queen?) of Bad timing.
“Oh hey, did we play musical…err places-to-sit-on-bed?” Daisya plopped himself down next to Lavi, handing him the bowl of popcorn. “I mean not that it’s bad but…want some popcorn?”
“Yeah sure!” Lavi greedily took the popcorn bowl, “What about you, All-en?” He was desperate to get a smile back on his face, even if it was a little….forced.
And Allen's was no better than Lavi's. "Yeah, sure," he replied and easily accepted the popcorn from Lavi-who gave him the popcorn carefully like he was going to spill it-which he wouldn't...maybe.
And with that-Allen felt the atmosphere kind of shift, although Daisya seemed oblivious to it all.
“Dun eat it all, okay? We haven’t even, well,” He turned to the movie and frowned, “…we ‘aven’t really been payin’ attention at all have we?” He turned to Kanda, “what’s going on?”
Kanda snorted, “Fuck if I know.”
Lavi pouted, “Don’t ask me-“ Daisya murmured from his seat, “I hate this movie.”
“Well then, All-en-” Allen stopped mid-handful of popcorn and frowned, mouth full, “Can y’tell me what’s goin’ on?~”
Allen blinked. "Eeeh..." glanced at the screen. "Oh, we're gonna be shown that accursed video in a sec-"
And before he even finished talking, there was a scream.
Which had Daisya flying from his seat and scrambling for the remote, “Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. I hate this part!”
“But it’s only the beginning, Daisy~”
“Don’t call me that!”
Lavi laughed, “What? It’s obvious a person can’t go through the television screen much less, well…..never mind guess I shouldn’t say that.”
“This is why I never watch horror movies with you.” Kanda groaned, “You talk too damn much.”
“And ruin the mood?” Allen piped in. “Like, there’s no suspense if someone keeps talking during a horror movie-Oh look, Sadako’s crawling closer.”
With that Daisya let out another high screeched scream -flailing back on the bed and grabbing the pillow.
“Aww Allen, you’re mean.” Lavi laughed, grabbing the popcorn and stuffing some in his mouth-and Kanda, well, looked disgusted.
“What. The. Fuck?”
“Want some Yuu?”
“Hell n-”
“Aww why not? Neh, Allen make him eat some! Make ‘im!” Lavi shoved the bowl back on Allen’s lap-“He needs t’try it at least once!”
Allen glanced at Kanda who is glaring at him in warning, then he glanced at the popcorn bowl and-
His lips formed that unholy grin before swiftly grabbed a handful of popcorn and attempted to force it into Kanda's mouth, unconsciously straddling him in the process.
And that got unnecessary howls of approval. Ones Kanda really didn't think were needed, as he tried shoving Allen back off him-"Fuck you don't-" He choked a bit and Allen paled, stopping his hands for only a moment -a moment enough for Kanda to get the high ground-forcing some of the pieces of popcorn littered around them into Allen's mouth. "I don't need to be fucking fed Moyashi."
"Yeah but you still haven't had any popcorn, Yuu!"
"Tch doesn't mean you have to force feed me!"
"Neh, well," Lavi leaned across Allen, picking up a piece of popcorn and popping it into his mouth. "How's about this-?"
And thus he planted a kiss on Kanda's lips-forcing his mouth open with his tongue and forcing the popcorn piece into his mouth before retreating with a wild grin. "There, see? Dun spit it out, Yuu~ That'd be gross!~"
And to say Allen was surprised is an understatement. His eyes went wide and-could anyone really blame him if he was gaping?
"Wha-"
And yes, Kanda looked pissed, but he didn't look like he was going to scream bloody murder at Lavi-who was grinning as Kanda swallowed the popcorn.
Allen didn't quite know what to think of that. Then again, maybe he shouldn't try to think while he was still kinda gaping. In Kanda's lap.
Which was amusing in and of itself, “….would you get off me?” Allen floundered for a moment before slipping off and -well-nearly crashing to the floor.
“Woah-Sprout!” Lavi caught his shoulder though, completely ignoring the now laughing Daisya who had his face conveniently still covered with said pillow he’d grabbed earlier. “Jeez is it that…weird to see two guys kiss? I mean you-” Wait. Did he really want to say that in front of Daisya?
Uh. No.
He ruffled Allen’s hair instead, helping him sit back up, “Guess it was a little sudden, neh? Forgot you might not be used to that.”
“Who fucking would be?” Lavi was almost proud to see Kanda filch another piece of popcorn and pop it into his mouth, “You do that all the fucking time -it’s……..no one can be expected to…not react to that when they haven’t seen it.”
“Love you too, Yuu~”
"...okay...?" Allen started uncertainly, and-even if he wasn't quite sure of what to think, maybe he could just-dismiss it as...Lavi being Lavi...?
Then he shifted so that he was sitting properly on the bed and grabbed a handful of popcorn, popping them into his mouth.
He eyed Kanda a little curiously. "So...you're used to it."
And Allen himself didn't know if he meant Lavi being absurd in general or-well.
Kanda frowned, “Why the fuck are you asking that…now?” Allen cringes a little and Kanda sighs, grabbing a handful of popcorn and tossing a piece at Daisya’s head, “sissy.”
“I’m not a sissy!”
“Then what the fuck are you doing?”
“Erm…I’m sleepy?” Kanda could feel Allen’s eyes on him but pointedly. Ignored it. The fuck was his problem? Really?
“Then wake up.”
“But-”
“Leave him, Kanda,” Allen commented casually. “It’s okay to be a sissy, right?”
Even though his face was perfectly neutral, Allen couldn’t really help the tiny spark of kinda-sorta-mockery in his eyes.
And no, Allen didn’t feel bad at all.
“Yeah, see? It is okay to be-wait.” Daisya peered out from behind the pillow, “Hey! That’s-that’s mean, lil’bro,” Allen frowned, just a little, “Kanda’s rubbing off on you -the wrong way.”
“Aww I don’t think they hang out enough to do that~” Lavi teased, poking Kanda in the side, “Though they do fight an awful lot…so there could be a lot of-”
“LAVI”
They shouted in union, but it was Allen who went on ahead, "belt up already, Lavi."
Allen didn't even want to know what Lavi would have said had they not cut him off. He didn't want to hear about UST or any nonsense like that, especially when Kanda now knew what it meant. It could be bloody awkward.
...and Lavi was laughing at them-at him because...no, he definitely wasn't blushing. He went to smack Lavi's arm instead.
“M’just teasin’, y’know.” Lavi laughed as he dodged the playful (he hoped) swat, “No need to get your panties in a bunch.”
“You wear panties?” Allen flushed even further.
“Oh hell,” Somehow -that made things all the more funny. Even if-
“Why the fuck would you want to know that?” Kanda cut off whatever thought he had, frowning a little in disgusted amusement. “It’s not true….is it Moyashi?” He paused, “Not that I’d be surprised…”
"Of course not!" Allen said indignantly, frowning. "Who would-I don't-why are you guys ganging up on me?"
He threw them a dirty look and pout, grabbing a handful of popcorn and munching on them.
“Cuz you’re easy to pick on?” Lavi supplied, reaching for the popcorn only to have Allen hold it away from him, “Aww c’mon now All-en! Don’t be a spoil-sport! What’s a little teasing gonna do t’ya?”
"Nothing other than wanting to get a sweet little revenge," Allen smiled, freakishly sweet, before-grabbing a handful of kernels and, "Here you go, La-vi~"
And threw them to Lavi's face.
“Ey! Ey! No fair!” Lavi fumbled to grab at the pillow Daisya was still conveniently hiding behind, “Meanie!”
“Tch if you make a mess, you clean it up.” Kanda groaned, frowning and shifting a little farther away from Allen and the dreaded popcorn bowl.
That didn’t exactly save him, before Allen was tossing a few kernels at him. The hell?
"You can make a mess too, so you can clean up," Allen grinned and-throw more kernels at Kanda, who growled at him and attempted to grab the bowl from him, but Allen held it away and laughed again when he noticed a few kernels got stuck in Kanda's hair.
“Wuh-oh!” Lavi laughed from his position of trying to claim Daisya’s pillow, “Yuu your hair’s all messed now! All messed!”
Kanda blinked and immediately reached up, frowning when a few kernels landed in his palm, “Tch…fucking disgusting.” He took a few kernels and tossed them at Allen’s hair, “What the fuck is your problem? You’re such a…kid.”
"Maybe I am. I'm still 15," Allen retorted easily. though now that Kanda mentioned it-well. When was the last time he acted like a kid? He-hadn't really got the chance or the inclination to act childish for a long time now, so why-now?
Somehow, though... being around Kanda and Lavi kind of-made him-maybe, a little...want to be the child that he actually was. And that realization was kind of embarrassing and-and--
“Yeah you might be but-” Kanda frowned at the suddenly…shocked…expression on Allen’s face, like he’d realized something painful …? His scowl deepened and he rubbed the kernels even harder against Allen’s head, “since when did you fucking act it.”
“N’yeahhh well, Yuu, y’know-” Allen let out a squawk when Lavi looped his arms lazily around Allen’s shoulders, resting his chin on Allen’s head, and pillow currently forgotten, “That’s not a ba-a-d thing, is it?”
“Yeah, is it?” Daisya agreed, crawling over, “I mean you got every right to be a kid once in a while, right?”
And that-kind of made him want to smile. so he leaned against Lavi a little more and-
"Right."
-started throwing popcorn kernels at Kanda again, which made Kanda growl and-rub more kernels against his hair now. "Hey~ you'll get it sticky!"
So he threw some more kernels in retaliation, and this time, to Lavi and Daisya too.
“Ouch!” Lavi groaned when one somehow got stuck in his nose. How the heck did that even happen? He snorted, trying to get it out, only to have a kernel hit him in the eye, “The -hell? Okay, okay stop I’m being murdered by Popcorn. That’s so not cool.”
Daisya, in the mean time, looked like he was about to die laughing.
And Kanda? Well-“Then fucking wash it. It’s girly enough as it is.” He dropped the few kernels in his hand, one disappearing beneath Allen’s shirt (not that he cared about that, but) -“Tch…did you ever think about cutting it?”
"What? It's not-" Allen brought a hand to card through his hair-catching a few kernels in the process and he wrinkled his nose at that-and well. Was it girly? It wasn't even that long-was it? Then again... it wasn't like he particularly cared that much about his hair. He hadn't changed his hairstyle since when he was-what, ten?
And admittedly, "No... I-didn't really have time for it..." wait. Why should he cared about what Kanda said about his hair?
“Eh, really? It doesn’t take that long t’cut hair.” Daisya leaned in a little closer, this time actually hesitating before taking a few strands in his hair. “It is kinda long…not that long, I mean it looks good on ya and all, but…do you pull it back when you get hot? It’s gotta be a pain on hot days.” He frowned a little, helping card some of the kernels out of his hair, “Heck I could cut it for ya for free. How about it?”
Maybe it was because what Daisya said was true-all of them, that yeah, sometimes his hair got a little bothersome, and maybe, it was the 'free' comment that kind of got him-but mostly, maybe because this time, Daisya at least sounded sincere. Like-he didn't have any other motives behind so-
"Umm, o-kay?" he replied, one hand lightly grabs Lavi's hand while his eyes were-throwing glances at Kanda.
“Really?” Daisya’s eyes widened, “Sweet! You want to now? I mean it’s not like we’re actually watching this movie anyway.” He cast a glance at the screen and shuddered, “Though uh yeah you’d need to wash your hair first…we can do that in the sink if you don’t wanna take a shower again.” He flashed a wide smile that, on any other day, would have been a cause for alarm, but Lavi simply squeezed Allen’s hand back and nodded.
“Seems like somethin’ better t’do anyway. Neh, Yuu can we all fit in the downstairs bathroom?”
“How the fuck would I know that?”
Lavi snorted, “Right, right, yeah you wouldn’t.”
“…What are you getting at?”
“Does it matter?” Daisya cut him off, still smiling, “I’ll go get my stuff-it’s in my room. Thankfully my boss let me take some stuff home. He said I’m really good at what I do an’ all so,” He looked from Kanda to Lavi, “You know what shampoo’s best to use right?” Kanda shrugged, “’kay then I’ll leave that up t’you.” And with that he was gone, dashing nosily up the stairs and-
“At least he didn’t say it out loud.”
Allen blinked.
“Err, I mean-”
Kanda sighed, “Tch…you fucking said it. You explain.” And with that he, too, was up and out of the room. So he had to waste his good shampoo on the Moyashi? Things could be worse. Much, much worse. “This is so gay.”
Because, well, it was that too.
He frowned as Lavi helped him out of bed and led him to the door. "What are you talking about?" Allen asked curiously.
“Err, well,” Lavi laughed nervously, making sure no one else was around before leaning down and whispering, “He…tends to like to experiment when he’s given a -free test subject. Um…it’s usually never bad and it actually turns out pretty awesome…but if you don’t want your hair highlighted some bright color-tell him, ‘kay?” He reached up and ruffled Allen’s hair, “He’d have a field day with your hair color.”
That made his eyes widen. "Experiment?" and then, in a little louder, more incredulous voice, "hair color?"
Oh hell no, he wouldn't-not that he liked his white hair but-he'd gotten so used to it and-"You sure I'll be okay there?" Allen asked a little warily.
“Yeah, we’ll be here too, remember?” He smiles then and pats Allen on the head, grimacing a little at the grease he can feel there, “Uh yeah but-Hey Yuu! You found the shamp-”
oo?
Well.
He found it all right.
“Ouch, dammit you didn’t have to throw it at me!”
“Then shut the fuck up! That’s just the shampoo!”
“Well you didn’t need to throw it,” Allen mumbled, not really thinking why he should be the one to-complain. But he shrugged anyway, and-accepted the shampoo from Lavi.
It was a-he opened the cap and smelled it.
Mint.
“Oh. This is…” what Kanda usually used, huh.
“This is…?” Lavi stopped rubbing his head long enough to take a better look at the bottle, “Oh yeah, well he has to use the good kind with how long his hair is. Even better that he gets the crap for free -and they know it.” Allen raises an eyebrow at that, “Well Daisya uses a different kind, plus he’s thinkin’ of shavin’ his hair off anyway…and this kind doesn’t work on hair like Tiedoll’s. Too frizzy.” He pats Allen’s hair, “but your hair’s the same texture as Yuu’s so it works.” He smiled then, a little wider, “Plus you’ll know even more about what he smells like, neh? It’ll help?”
Allen had no idea why but he kind of find it-embarrassing. But really, why should it?
"Uhh. Yeah, sure."
Then he walked with Lavi to the direction of the shower and-"So I just-wash it in the sink then?"
That sounded difficult. And uncomfortable. Not that he ever tried but-wouldn't his arms bend in an awkward angle if he had to shampoo his hair on the sink?
“Ah, well…I guess…this’d be easier if we had a retractable…” Lavi looked towards the shower head and grinned, “Oh wait this one is retractable.” He walked over and detached it easily, extending it until it was a good enough length. “Lemme test the water first, an’ then I can help ya if y’want? Just sit on th’floor by the tub an’ lean your head back, ‘kay?”
Well. That certainly would be easier.
"Okay, thanks," Allen replied easily and smiled, before walking to the tub and sat down on the floor, leaning his head back against the tub as Lavi told him and waited.
With that said, Lavi kicked off his shoes and stepped into the tub, careful to keep the spray away from him as he started to wet Allen’s hair. Shortly afterward he began to lather in the shampoo-smiling as Allen inhaled deeply, “Y’like the smell do ya?” Allen jolted a bit and Lavi laughed, “Nothing wrong with that. Yuu does end up smellin’ really good and th’ shampoo is obviously a part of that~” For once he wasn’t teasing, or at least-not really.
It was still cute to see Allen blush, though.
"Umm. Yeah. It's the shampoo that I like," Alen said as if needing to clarify that. For what reason, he didn't know. But he stopped thinking once Lavi started massaging his scalp and-he just closed his eyes then, and enjoyed the treatment.
“Huwah, well that’s good. At least it isn’t bubblegum flavored.” Lavi chuckled, lathering up Allen’s hair before running the spray over the suds, making sure the shampoo didn’t dribble into his eyes in the processes, “You’d probably be amused by that story, but I guess it depends on if ya wanna get in’ta a gigglin’ fit y’can’t stop.”
"...well now you got me curious," he said, nearly opening his eyes to look up at Lavi but he kept it close when he felt a drop of water trickling down near his eyes before Lavi wiped it away. "What story is that?"
“Eh, well it started when we accidentally got some gum in Yuu’s hair.” Allen’s eyes widened, “What? It wasn’t my fau-okay maybe it kinda was but I told Yuu to let go so he totally deserved it.” Even if he sort of didn’t, and even if Allen was probably even more confused than when he started, “Err, well you know those inflatable slides?” Allen gave a hesitant nod, “He pushed me down one. I grabbed him so we slid down t’gether and ….I was chewing gum so it sorta…got in his hair when I landed on him. Long story short,” Allen snorted, “We had t’get his hair cut-not too much y’know. His hair was long even then-and since we were out at the time we decided to stop by the store and grab some stuff-y’know candy, rubber bands, tampons,” That made Allen’s eyes widen, “sparkles, balloons, shampoo-”
"Waitwaitwait-what?" Allen blinked up at him. "What did you need tampons for-" he trailed off and, with a skeptical look, he said, "sparkles? Did you want to-I don't know, imitate Edward Cullen?" and he snorted at that.
“Uh…you watched that movie?” Lavi snickered regardless and shrugged, spraying a bit of the water in Allen’s face in retaliation, “Not gonna tell ya what the tampons were for but the glitter wet in Yuu’s hair-an’ so did the shampoo-the pink, bubble gum shampoo.” Allen’s eyes bulged at that, as he attempted to grab the nearest towel to wipe his face off, “Now do ya still wanna know how we got the shampoo-”
"Of course I do. How did you even get it anywhere near his head-when it's pink and all-" and now” he was looking very curious up at Lavi, who was grinning that unholy grin of his.
“Well obviously I had t’get in with him.” Allen nearly bolted upright at that but Lavi didn’t let him, “What? Not like we were naked or anything, jeez.” Lavi laughed, “We didn’t tell ‘im what kind it was, an’ -I mean we somehow convinced ‘im to let me wash his hair-since he didn’t really trust anyone near his head back then ‘cept me an’ maybe Tiedoll on a good day.” Lavi trailed off, shaking his head, “I think he was really, really pissed or somethin’ cuz I managed t’just keep him talkin’ until he really smelled it -then -ahah…ha…let’s not go there but damn it was hilarious! We mixed some of th’ glitter into the shampoo-by the way ‘we’ is Daisya an’ me-and just-damn~ It was funny~”
And that made Allen laugh. Snickering helplessly with his shoulders violently shaking and-he'd get his shirt wet at this rate because he had his head bent down in reflex and-dammit his stomach hurt.
"Oh my god-" he gasped in between laughter, "I so want to see that-"
“No you wouldn’t.” Lavi and Allen both jumped when they saw Kanda standing there in the doorway-glaring-“Why the fuck did you tell him that?”
“Because it was funny?”
“And landed you in the hospital for nearly a week?” Kanda tossed the conditioner and Lavi caught it, placing it down in the tub a moment later, “You don’t know how to keep your mouth shut do you?”
“Well it was funny before then.” Lavi grumbled, “I mean-seriously? Yuu did ya have to bring up the-”
“Found it!” They all jumped this time when Daisya skidded to a halt just outside the door, a pair of very sharp looking scissors in his hands, “Jeez I can’t believe these took so long to fi- oh hey did I walk in at a bad time?”
Kanda sat on the toilet seat, “You always come in at a bad time.”
