[drabble; canon update] Forgetting
"Allen are you coming?"
Blinking slowly, the boy shifted and stretched his arms up. It felt like he'd been asleep for ages...
"Allen! C'mon!" Who was calling him? A name came to mind--starting with a 'T'... "Are you going to get up? --Lavi no, don't--" The girl's voice sounded just before the door to the cabin jerked open and a blur of red hair and feathers darted in.
"Yo~! Sorry, Fangs is a little edgy today!" Lavi grinned innocently at the boy still rubbing sleep from his eyes.
Allen remember a place... with people who looked just like himself and his friends... but were very different... And a boy who meant a lot to him.
He closed his eyes, trying to hold on to the thoughts. T... Tyki, right? Allen could vaguely recall hazy afternoons spent talking about everything they could think of.. and a little girl, who looked strangely like both of them.
"Alice." He whispered, licking his lips to wet them.
"'Sprout, you feeling okay?" Allen opened his eyes to see the griffinboy leaning close andhe just blinked back at the other. "...." Lavi wrinkled his brow, moving to place a hand on to back of Allen's neck--to feel his temperature. Allen skittered out of the way just before the hand met its destination, goosebumps running down his back.
"I-I'm fine!" He squeaked, quickly shifting to put space between the two of them. Lavi looked a little relieved at that, and Allen remembered that he usually didn't let the boy touch him. It was Lavi after all. Allen was in no hurry to find out if Lavi had ever actually won out someone with his flirty nature.
Why hadn't he moved before? The memories.. had it just been a dream? All those people--Len and Gabe, and all the others--had they just been a dream? Details were fuzzy in his mind, names beginning to slip away as he woke up more and more.
"Lenalee's worried, you've been sleeping all day." Lavi tilted his head, leaning his shoulder against the door as he shifted his wings to fold behind him.
Allen blinked, "I have?" Rubbing the back of his head, he breathed in deep and let it out in a puff. Such a ... vivid dream.
He looked back up, smile in place, "Sorry for worrying everyone. I'll go tell her I'm okay."
Because it had just been a dream, right? .... Right?
Dark hair and gold eyes, a smile just like his own and so much in common even if they were so different...
And a little girl with his eyes in the other's dark skin, with a tiny button of a horn just barely growing on her forehead. Her smile was so bright and pure...
What were their names again?
