real face chapter 2
Chapter 2
Yesterday, I Had You
“Old man, what is he doing here?,” Kanda accused his foster father when his dark eyes met with the single green orb that way too familiar to him after all this time.
“Hey, Yu-chan!,” Lavi greeted him with a sing song voice, the school bag was throw at the direction of his face, and as expected from his self-proclaimed best friend, he dodged it expertly.
“Yu-kun, what do you like for dinner? Yes, Lavi-kun is staying with us this night. He said he want to have this man to man talk with you. Hmm….I hope nothing is going on behind my back again, Yu…,” Tiedoll emerged from the kitchen with an apron on him.
“Don’t worry, uncle. There is nothing wrong with Yu-kun here except for him to be hommmm…,’ he was unable to continue when Kanda had pulled him along, dragging his reluctant body upstairs of the double storey house.
Tiedoll stand there confused as ever but later shrugged and went back to the kitchen. Maybe I should make the special soba that Yu like so much.
In Kanda’s room.
“Care to explain why the fuck you are in my house and talking my shit to the old man?,” Kanda throw the red haired with less care he would give to a human.
“Why? Can’t I visit my best friend once in a while?.” Lavi pouted
Kanda took off his uniform blazer, “We hang out everyday at school, Lavi. Can you respect my privacy at home at least. And, what the hell do you want with me?,”
“ Haha…actually I kind a miss you. Can I sleep with you tonight, pretty please?,” Lavi hugged the pillow and invited himself on Kanda’s bed.
“If you want to stay over, please help yourself to the guest room. Don’t make use Mugen on you, rabbit!!,” the headache was coming and Lavi was not exactly the very person he want to talk to right now.
For a moment there, Lavi was unable to talk back. He stared at his best friend’s back while the other male was putting some books on the desks in order. Kanda may be grumpy all the time but he will become less of a rude person when he was facing problems.
“You know you can tell me everything, Yu,” Lavi said.
“What makes you think I have something to tell you?. Get out of here if you don’t need anything, imbecile.”
Lavi smirked, “Well…. I do have something to tell Tiedoll. Maybe something concerning the famous cute friend of ours, Allen Walker and about someone that had been dating another male secretly behind him.”
An angry twitch appeared on the Japanese forehead, “That’s it. You tell him and I make sure you don’t have to worry about your eye anymore. I make sure you will be blind…FOREVER!!”
“Jeez…here I am, trying to help you, I mean the sexually frustrated Yu to get laid. How long you are going to be a virgin huh, Yu?” the red haired said sarcastically not caring that his best friend already on the verge of being a suicidal samurai. ”If you don’t give it to him right now. I am afraid someone else will jump on him first.”
Kanda glared at the red haired that sprawled on his bed, an easy prey indeed. If only he can find his katana, the rabbit’s life will be over in matter of a second.” What’s the matter, Yu? Can’t find your sword anywhere?,” Lavi smiled knowingly.
Scanning his room and then glaring at Lavi, Kanda was furious when his mind clicked into something, the fucking rabbit had stashed his beloved katana away knowing he, Kanda Yu will murder him on this very day.
“What the fuck you have done to Mugen, Lavi?,”
“Nothing, I only had Tiedoll send it way to be fixed or something. I am doing you the favor of keeping it squeaky clean and shiny..hoho.”
Kanda was out of words, he could not do anything without Mugen. But he will remember to have his revenge once he got Mugen back.” Tch..”
“Don’t worry about anything and yes, I have told Tiedoll he must come to school on Monday.”
“It’s none of my concern whether he will come or not,” Kanda replied
“You are serious with Allen Walker, Yu?” Lavi said finally
“Quit calling my first name. So what if I am serious, Lavi. It doesn’t have anything to do with you.”
“I am just asking okay. It’s not like I am against you both. But, you should be careful with all these relationship business,” Lavi added, “I don’t want to see either one of you get hurt.”
“ You think I need your advice on that, from you, of all people, who keep sleeping with different girls and enjoying toying people’s feeling,” If it was any other day, Lavi will ignored that comment however this time he was hurt by the harsh words. Kanda really sees him as a whore with no feelings toward other people. Even though, the Japanese was partially right, Lavi had always think relationship meant to be special with someone you really meant to be together, And, he had not found such person yet.
Seeing Lavi’s face filled with hurt, Kanda decided to drop the topic. He did not meant to criticize the red haired young man but his best friend was being such a busybody and everything. The headache he had hours ago kept throbbing and he furrowed his eyebrows in irritation.
“I am going to buy some migraine pills. You can come along if you want to.” He stomped out of the room with a feeling that the idiot rabbit will get over with his sulk sooner or later.
What I am going to do with this idiot
…………………………………………………
The day of the party had finally come, of course as the president of the student council, Allen never forgot his duty and had to work hard in making the event to be memorable and grand for the students. He even been absence from his part-time job and been cutting class to make sure everything goes as it had been plan. What the white haired boy could not understand, is the main reason he had been called here, the principle’s room, alone when the last thing he had been doing is doing a favor the school community. He let out a heavy sigh before the gloved hand of his knocked the heavy door of Malcolm L. Leverrier’s office.
Without delay, he let himself in knowing that the person he had most hate in his entire life is behind the door, looking smug as always.
“You call for me, sir?,” Allen politely asked as he was expected to do.
“Hmmph, Walker, I just finished looking over this piece of report of how you had been spending the school’s fund on your absolutely absurd graduation celebration. And, I was very disappointed with that huge amount I saw.” To emphasize his point, Leverrier struck his table with large and powerful hand.
The student council’s president did not even blinked at the harsh attitude had been too used acquainted with the principal. This man should be in an army rather than educating children. What the fuck is his problem now? .Despite acting so brave and tried to endure this mentally torture until the sadistic old man will satisfied, his arms couldn’t help but trembled.
“I don’t remember telling you it was fine to use this much. Are you trying to act dumb and giving me trouble before you graduated?,” the principal roared at him, now standing in front of the small teen, trying to intimidate the remains of the dignity he had been left with .
Allen was silent; it was no used denying or defending himself. It will only fueled the anger of the older man even more.
“Such a foolish and useless child. You are not fit to be in the society,” the insult came over and over again.
“You and your parents are the type I hate the most, I am glad to be rid of you. However, the fact that you still exist makes me sick!!” Allen was unable to shed any tears even though the man in front would be more than pleased to see him in pathetic and humiliating state. Crying will no do anything.
How could this man turned into this sadistic monster of a human. Malcolm L. Leverrier had been a friend to the family for a long time, at least it was before that tragedy…..the tragedy which killed both of his parents, his hope and his heart were also lost during that time. If it was not for him, Allen could have died a long time ago.
Him…..who in the end had also left him.
“I apologized that I had been acting on my own, I really do,” despite having no tenacity or regret in his voice, he thought he should at least make an apology.
Allen had no courage to look the older man in his eyes, he know there was not a single chance that this man will forgive his fault for simply existing in this world. What kind of reasoning is that.
“I don’t pity you a bit, Allen Walker,” with that, he dismissed the expressionless boy.
…………………………………………………
“Still set on going tonight?,” the Chinese girl asked him.
Allen nodded weakly,” Yeah.”
“Is something bothering you Allen?.” Again, Lenalee was always quickly in reading him. The girl is quite sharp in everything she does. He really cared about the girl since they had known each other for 3 years. Although being a year younger, Allen was able to catch Lenalee’s and Kanda’s grades had made him equal to them.
Before Allen could replied to her, they were greeted a familiar noise coming from the opposite hallway,” Yuuuuu-chan, wait for meeee….,” It was Lavi, the only human who could survive after calling Kanda his first name adding a girly suffix to it. Maybe he was not a human after all.
A sight of Kanda being chased by Lavi made both Lenalee and Allen giggled. Even though he was seemed to be chased, Kanda was not running however was walking very fast. He slow down his steps when he saw Allen and Lenalee in front of him.
Unintentionally, a blush crept upon both Kanda’s and Allen’s face.
Finally catching up, Lavi panted heavily, “ Hey, you finally stop….you wore my legs out this entire da…,” Lavi then noticed the presence of the other two. Allen Walker with his outstanding white haired and weird scar upon his face, was blushing a bit to see them, while the pigtailed Chinese girl smiling sweetly and adoringly, by then, Lavi became aware that his best friend were also blushing like crazy,” Fancy meeting both of you here…” Lavi rubbed the back of his head while another arm slung over his stoic Japanese best friend.
Even though they are in the same year, Lavi was not a person who associated himself with the goody two shoes such as student’s council. Yes, he only known them from afar, and the news of his antisocial best friend being the president’s lover was almost chocking him to death. When the hell did that happened, he never knew. Not only Yu had been secretive from him, but the others from the Allen’s side were also not well acquainted with the information.
This girl, Lenalee Lee may be the only one who was aware of the relationship between the two males. Her knowing smile makes him shuddered. “ Mou…Lavi-kun, no running in the hallways,” she warned him.
“You can tell that to the lover boy here, Miss Lee. He had been avoiding me all morning when I had a tiny mini favor to ask him.” The red haired shuddered again from the dark aura emitted by his best friend.
“ I believe this is the first time we are talking to each other, Mr President, Allen Walker,” letting go of Kanda and suddenly grabbing the pair of Allen’s gloved hands to hold them full in his, he flashed his charming smile to the smaller teen.
In the other hand, the other boy did not resisted the spontaneous familiarity of the red haired with him,” Yes. Nice to meet you, Lavi Bookman. Please call me Allen, just Allen will do.”
“I guess I will…haha,” Lavi nervously laughed when he noticed the jealousy glare from his best friend. Oh shit, I guess no touchy feely with my best friend male lover.
Allen looked at Kanda and found it was cute seeing him getting a little angry over Lavi, knowing it was rare for him to show such emotions in front of others,” Lenalee and me are going to do some errands, see you again, Lavi, Kanda.”
Allen shoved Lenalee to walk away; he was not comfortable to have conversation with Kanda in front of the other student since their relationship had been the topic of the gossips recently. He will meet Kanda again when the school is finished anyway.
“ Hey, Yu-chan, Did you see that? He told me to call him Allen. We already getting intimate in like in 1 minute..,” Lavi bragged
“Tch..like I care whatever name the bean sprout has, he will always be a bean sprout to me,” Trying not be jealous over some name calling, Kanda marched away to go to his next class.
“Haha..you are not jealous, are you? Wait…..bean sprout…you mean Allen?”
“ That suits him somehow…”
