Pairing: Yullen (Kanda Yuu/Allen Walker)
Rating: PG
Summary: Funny, hadn’t the sky been cloudless? Why then are there raindrops hitting your face?
Warning: Character death

You struggle to open your eyes. The sound of shouting and laughing and crying can be heard. They wash over you like waves on a shore and you pray that the world will be what you and your friends had fought so long and so hard for when you open your eyes.

At peace.

The sun has risen. The bright rays hurt your eyes, but you still force the heavy lids up. You try to sit up, but your battered, broken body refuses to cooperate. But you have to know. You have to know.

Did you win?

More shouting. Your head hurts like the day after the night Lavi forced those five cans of beer into you. They draw closer and you close your eyes again, wanting to tell them politely to please shut up or go away.

“Allen-kun!”

“Allen!”

“Someone get help!”

“He’s concussed and I think he broke his arm and ohmygodAllenallthatblood -”

“I’ll go get the medical team!”

“I’ll get him some water!”

Someone picks you up carefully, and you moan when sharp pain races through your entire body… The arms shift you into a more comfortable position… Strong arms, hard chest, warm… so warm…

“Oi, Moyashi! Open your eyes! Moyashi!”

The voice is familiar, as is the insulting nickname, but not the desperation that accompanies them.

“Mm… not a Moyashi…” you mumble, feeling like you had been hit by a train. Why is it so hard to breathe?

A snort. “You’ll always be a Moyashi to me. Come on, open your goddamn eyes!”

You try, but you only just manage to crack them open in slits. The first thing you see is the blue, blue sky. Ahh… the last thing you remember seeing were the gray clouds and the raindrops getting in your eyes last night. It’s good to see that the rain has let up.

The second thing you see is a pair of piercing dark eyes, and Kanda’s face, bent over you.

“You stupid beansprout,” he bites out, even though his voice is trembling and his tone lacks the anger.

You try to smile, but it comes out like a grimace. “Who are you…calling… stupid…” you gasp out, and you see his face tighten with worry. That expression is so foreign on the usually forbidding face of Kanda Yuu that you are tempted to laugh had your ribs not been hurting so much. “Did we … win?” You manage to wheeze out.

“Yes. The Earl is gone. So are the Noah - no, don’t go back to sleep!”

You fight to open your eyes again, annoyed. You’ve won. That was all you needed to know. Why isn’t the bastard letting you sleep when you clearly need it so much?

“…sleepy… I think I’ll go back to sleep…”

Silence from him. The frantic thumping of his heart against your ear is a lullaby.

“Moyashi… Moyashi! Allen!”

You make a noise at the back of your throat to let him know that you are listening.

“I-I need to tell you something before you go to sleep…”

“Mmm?”

“I think… I think I lo-”

The pattering of feet. The voices return, but your head seems to have gone numb. Come to think of it, your whole body has.

“He’s-”

“Heal him!” Kanda’s order is icy, and even though your eyes are now closed, you can imagine the glare that goes with it.

“It’s too late.”

Shocked gasps and the sound of women crying.

“What?! Say that again and I’ll slice you into ribbons” A jerk of his body and a snarl. “Heal him. Now!”

“I’m sorry, Exorcist-sama…”

The words are not making any sense to your muddled mind. The unconsciousness seems to be weaving itself around you already… Slowly, you let yourself slip into the welcoming darkness.

Funny, hadn’t the sky been cloudless? Why then are there raindrops hitting your face? And Kanda never did finish what he had wanted to say…

Oh well, you’ll just have to ask him about it when you wake up.

End.
