Summary: Lavi hasn't even been in the Order for two weeks, and he's already bored with it! Lucky for him a very interesting new exoricst comes in around the same time. Will Kanda be simple entertainment? Or will unfortunate circumstances force Kanda to stay close to Lavi?

Kanda had once again, tried and failed to shake Lavi off. He was determined to be as uninteresting as possible, but he didn’t realize just how much more interesting that made him seem. Lavi wanted more than anything to destroy all pretenses and see what it was that made the older boy want to stay alone. Lavi had always been an insatiable learner, but the information he wanted this time around couldn’t be found in any books.
well... maybe I could...
The idea that had come to Lavi involved him exercising his power as a member of the bookman clan, and requesting to view the files of a certain exorcist, a.k.a. Kanda. He could do it if he really wanted to, he could find out all the basics about Kanda, but he’d rather not. It wouldn’t be nearly as fun as annoying Kanda for answers would be. Maybe if Kanda made him incredibly desperate he would, but Lavi hardly believed that anyone would be capable of making him so interested in them.
Lenalee came around the corner into the hall that Lavi was currently stalk--bugging Kanda in.
“Oh, good thing I found you two! It’s really helpful that you’re always together, otherwise finding both of you would prove to be difficult. It’s already been an hour or two since I started looking for you guys!” She said. Lavi looked over to Kanda, and watched in amusement as Kanda suppressed his urge to kill; he always tried to be polite to Lenalee, Lavi thought it was quite gentlemanly of him. Which made him all the more cute to Lavi.
The trio of adolescents made their way to Komui’s office, Kanda glad that Lenalee was distracting Lavi from him. Lavi seemed to have a weakness for Lenalee, but Kanda suspected that weakness was for women in general... an oddly annoying suspicion. But then again, another part of Kanda suspected Lavi was gay, so if he had to choose, he’d rather Lavi be a flirt...or would he?

“Well, congratulations, you two are going on your first mission together!” Komui stated excitedly. Kanda wanted to hit his head on the wall, impale Komui, and wipe Lavi’s happy smile off his face all at once. And he swore that one day he would seriously be able to do that simultaneously.
“I figured since neither have you have gone on a mission yet and you’re both rookies, and always with each other, this simple mission would be perfect for you two! I get the feeling you’ll work very well together! And I simply couldn’t bring myself to separate you two!” Kanda was even more pissed off than before, he WANTED to be separated dammit!
“Ok, so it’s simple enough. You two will be going to the lovely city of Marseilles, France. There’s been a series of unnatural Earthquakes in south-east France lately, and we believe that there may be an innocence under the city somewhere,” Komui said, suddenly more serious than the two boys had ever seen him. He handed packets of information over his desk to them through a gap in his mounds of paperwork. “You’re going to retrieve it. We haven’t had word of many Akuma incidents so far, which leads me to believe that the Earl is not yet aware that the innocence is there, or He’s only just heard and is currently on the move there. I want you to get there before this escalates to anything you two can’t handle.”
The two were dismissed so that they could get ready for their trip the next day. Kanda wanted to get started on reading that packet; While he seemed to have a knack for languages and picked up on English fairly easily, he still had a great deal of trouble with writing and reading it. It seemed that he was in for a long, aggravating night.
“Man this mission’s gonna be so boring...” Lavi sighed out as they walked to Kanda’s room, where Kanda would inevitably slam the door in the younger’s face. “But at least I’ll be with Yuu-chan,” He added, Kanda swore he just said that to piss him off. But oh no, Kanda would not kill the idiot just yet. If it was so entertaining to see him flip out, then he simply wouldn’t, maybe it’d get Lavi off his case sooner.
000
“You’re still readin’ that thing Yuu-chan?” Lavi asked, rather surprised that Kanda was still trying to read that information packet while on the train. Kanda just grit his teeth and tried to ignore the other. He knew it would be a bad idea to try to read this on the train, but he needed to, he hadn’t been able to get through the thick packet of paper the night before. Actually, he gotten pissed, threw the thing, tried to calm down by packing, tried again to read it, got pissed, and the cycle repeated. Kanda didn’t like the fact that he wasn’t exactly literate. But whatever, English wasn’t his first language anyway, and it took years for children actually born in English-speaking countries to learn the language themselves, Kanda decided that being able to pick up a language in less than a year meant he was progressing rather quickly, especially if you consider that his teacher was a artist, and by no means an English teacher.
“So...”
Kanda jumped back, when did Lavi get next to him!? He was sitting across from him just a moment ago!
“So what?! And do NOT sneak up on me you bastard!”
“So how far have you gotten?” Lavi asked, Kanda huffed, he was not going to answer that. Lavi snatched the book up off the ground; In his surprise Kanda had dropped it. Kanda wanted to change that, he was gonna make it so that one day Lavi never surprised him, and if he did, Kanda wouldn’t show it.
“You haven’t gotten very far at all, huh?” Kanda growled angrily, what was Lavi getting at? If he made one jibe about Kanda’s intelligence- “Want some help?”
Kanda blinked, he hadn’t quite been expecting that. It hardly mattered though, no way would Kanda ask for help nor accept it.
“You’re gonna be stubborn about getting help, aren’t you?”
“I don’t need help, I can do it on my own.”
“Fine, then I’ll help you make it easier to do on your own.” Lavi said, Kanda just glared at him as he scooted over to Kanda on the seat, seeing as Kanda had backed himself into the wall of their compartment.
“Come on, Yuu. Haven’t you ever heard “give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime”? I’m just gonna teach you how to read better.”
“Nope, never heard that. And reading and fish have nothing to do with each other.”
“Kanda Yuu, and if you have a middle name pretend I said that too, if you don’t let me help you through this, I can almost guarantee you will not finish this by the time we make it to Marseilles. Unless you want to make an ass of yourself on your first mission by not knowing what the hell you’re doing, you will let me help you.”
Kanda gaped slightly, was Lavi scolding him? While Lavi had indeed made some good points, he had actually had the gall to scold him! Who would’ve thought the redhead could be serious?
“Che...” Was all Kanda responded with. Lavi took that as an “ok, I will not kill you for helping me, but the fact that you did will never leave this compartment.” Quite a message to send with one little word. Kanda sat back down, looking completely indignant as Lavi helped him through page after page.

The train was slowing down, any minute it would arrive in the station. The finder, Michael, who sat outside the door of the exorcist’s cabin turned to open it. He was a tall, well built man, who was very fatherly, with much experience in the field, the perfect finder for two adolescent rookies. As he entered he let out a soft “awe”; Kanda and Lavi, after a long and exhausting train ride of bickering and reading, had fallen asleep, Lavi’s head resting on top of Kanda’s, the information packet that was opened to the last page lay on Kanda’s lap.
“U-um, we’re almost there, Sir Kanda, Sir Lavi,” Michael said, not really wanting to wake the children up. Kanda’s eye shot open immediately upon hearing another voice, Lavi’s head fell from his head to his shoulder, and Kanda glared at the still unconscious bookman-child.
“Wake up now or you will never wake again,” He hissed angrily; The threat to Lavi’s life seemed to wake him. Or not.
“Waah...Yuu-chan...five more minutes...” Lavi said tiredly, snuggling up to Kanda and hugging his shoulders like he was snuggling into a pillow. A samurai-shaped pillow. Kanda was tense with anger, more than ready to kill Lavi.
“How about one more second before I end your life?”
Lavi straightened out groggily, not wanting to get up at all, but not wanting to die. Their finder was just glad that Kanda didn’t really kill Lavi, he seemed like the type who would be especially murderous upon waking up.
“You’re so mean Yuu... ya know one day you’re gonna want me to snuggle with you and I’m gonna say “No, I value my life you murderous prick.” See? It doesn’t pay to drive me away.”
“I WILL NEVER WANT TO... TO...GAH!” Kanda let out a string of curses as he got his luggage down from the over-head compartments, being sure to hit Lavi over the head with his suitcase.
“OOOOOOW. I’m making you pay my medical bills!”
“Please, if you’re such a baby as to be hurt by that, then I think you’ve taken up the wrong job. Have fun getting killed on the battle field,” Kanda said, turning his back to Lavi and exiting the compartment. Lavi followed out soon afterwards, deciding that maybe it would be best for his health to stay out of arm’s reach of Kanda until the child was fully awake. So he walked behind him, just following the boy ahead of him who was following their finder.
“Ya know, I hadn’t really noticed this until now, but you kinda swish when you walk. And the way your hair hangs, it’s like you’re begging for a cat to come along and bat it around. I wanna bat it around... and I’m not even a cat.”
“Touch my hair and you lose a hand.”
“Why do you threaten people anytime they mention touching you at all? Are you aphephobic?”
“Not aphephobic, homophobic.”
“Ouch Yuu-chan, that hurts, I am not gay. Whatever gave ya that idea?”
Kanda’s eyes twitched, he could think of plenty of things that made him think that. His disbelief was quite obvious.
“You don’t believe me? Fine, I’ll prove I love women! All ages, sizes, and classes I love ‘im!” Lavi declared, walking away from their small group, right up to a group of ladies who seemed to be in their early twenties. Kanda’s jaw almost dropped, Lavi was actually going to flirt with a bunch of strangers to prove that he wasn’t gay?
Kanda and Michael starred incredulously as Lavi talked to the ladies, making them blush and giggle, saying things that the two could not hear and winking afterwards. Kanda was slowly getting more and more pissed, what on earth did Lavi think he was doing? He glared at Lavi with all the intensity of a basilisk, as though he would be able to convey his angry message to Lavi through the air. Lavi could feel Kanda burning holes into him with his stare, and looked over, smirking at Kanda over his shoulder, he had the audacity to smirk at him!
Completely angered he stormed over to Lavi, grabbing his arm and dragging him away from the growing gaggle of women.
"Qui était cette fille? Sa petite amie?"
"Non! C'etait un garcon!"
"C'etait son petit ami?!"
"Vraiment! Les mecs de nos jours!"
Lavi heard the women’s conversation as Kanda pulled him away, ranting about how idiotic and irresponsible he was for flirting before he even started his first mission. Lavi knew that Kanda had probably heard the girls himself, but he also knew that Kanda wouldn’t understand them. But Lavi did, and as much as he’d love to tell Kanda what they were saying, he decided that it’d be his little secret to bring up anytime he felt like annoying Kanda.
ok, what those women are saying is this (roughly, sorry if this is a little coarse, Saya’s new to french) "Who was that girl? His girlfriend?" "No! that’s a boy!" "That’s his boyfriend?!" "Really! Boys in this day and age!"
and aphephobia is the fear of being touched, or touching others.
