You must be tired of hearing writers say "I'm Sorry for not updating for so long!", so I wont say it. Although, I am sorry, I just have no motive for this story at the moment. Oh well, continue on.

Allen never really had a good experience with alcoholics. Living with Cross Marian impacted his life greatly. The bastard always had a bottle of wine in one hand, and a lady in the other; and Allen hated those type of people: womanizers. He had met a good share of them in his life. Also, his master would treat him horribly while he was drunk. That's why when it came to alcohol, Allen had a bad habit of relating it to sex and violence.

So when a drunk Lenalee came crashing by his doorstep, the poor white headed Exorcist had no idea on God's Earth what to do.

"L-Lenalee?"

"Heey, Allen-kuun!" she hiccuped and giggled. "My door won't open." Her words came out slurred.

He only goggled at her appearance. Her eyes narrowed at first, and unconsciously, an arm raised itself to grasp the handle of a neighboring door. Failing to lift herself up, Lenalee collapsed back on to the ground, and with a twist of the knob, the door opened. "What are you doing?!" she exclaimed, peering into the dim lit room. The people inside shrieked.

Allen rushed forward and placed her hand away from the knob, gently closing the door, and rounding on his comrade. "Lenalee!"

"Is that your favorite word...cause that's all you've been saying, Allen-kun!" she laughed, lamely.

"You're drunk." he hissed, quietly, eyes scanning the hallways.

"Allen-kun, if I was drunk, my brother would kill you!" her head wobbled in between his legs. He stepped back, horrified.

"I wouldn't doubt that." he muttered mostly to himself. Not before debating on whether to leave her here or take her in (that must have been one difficult decision!), with a heavy sigh, Allen went to hoist her up.

She was studying a light bulb on the ceiling when he wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "I could have sworn it was night..."

Looking between her and the object she was so interested in, he said, "It's a light bulb."

She gasped, astonished, "Then I am drunk!"

"Shhhh..." she was fairly light. Within seconds he was able to have her on her feet. He made sure to avoid her breath. 1. it was a horrible stench. 2. It brought back so many horrible memories! God, this entire situation was horrible!

Making sure the door was locked, Allen brought her over- more like dragged- to his bed, "Okay, Lenalee. I need you to tell me clearly. Who or what did this to you? Lenalee?"

"Can I touch your scar?" the nervousness, yet excitment was clearly written in her eyes, "Please?"

Well, at least some of her manners were still there.

He didn't question her; Allen was pro when it came to drunkards. Her fingers came centimeters close to his face. He could feel the warmth within them. Once they made contact with his scar, he shivered. Those fingers he had come to love were touching his scar. He felt lightheaded. Lenalee's eyes were so intoxicating, he felt himself drawn in.

"It's bumpy."The awful stench of alcohol got him back to Earth.

His eye twitched at her weird statement and he drew back, remembering their situation. He crossed the room to a table holding water. "Look, I'm going to hand you some water. I'll have a trash can by the bed, in case-um," his voice died to a whisper, "this really cant be happening", he poured the liquid into a small cup and turned back to her, "in the meantime, get some rest-"

"Ah, Lenalee! What are you doing!??" dropping the cup to the ground, Allen dived before she could completely take her shirt off. The white headed Exorcist grabbed her wrists and pulled them out. He wasn't oblivious to the skin he had just witnessed. Oh...god...it seemed so smooth...such smooth, ivory skin...

Lenalee was baffled, "It's hot in here!"

"That doesn't mean you can go take your clothes off!" he argued through clenched teeth.

She pouted, and oh she looked so cute, "And I wanted to take a shower!"

Oh, kami, please, please, PLEASE, don't do this to me! I know you might be disgruntled at me! But, god, just this once, spare me!

"Lenalee," he stated calmly, almost as if he was talking to a child, "you are drunk; but that doesn't mean you can lose your common sense!"

She was up in a flash, "You," she staggered, "oh, y-you Allen Walker- kun have no right to talk to me like that!"

Allen threw his arms up, "I didn't say anything wrong!"

Most boys in his position must have already exploded in defeat, but Allen wasn't 'most boys'. That's why, when Lenalee practically tackled him in a fierce embrace? did he not push her away, or bring her any closer. Although, he did scream in surprise. One of those...girlie, childish screams you weren't accustomed to hearing from a teenage, hormonal boy.

"Hehe, Allen is so warm." she muttered in his ear. He stiffened, yet his face wrinkled from the smell of her breath. She used to have such a sweet aroma... "I'm just so tired."

The boy was caught off guard, "W-what do you mean?"

"Lavi...you...Kanda. And then there's Brother...the Heart...this war..."

It was starting to make sense, "That's why you lost yourself in the bottle...."

"Silly, Allen, I would never do that!" she giggled. He rolled his eyes, yet a small smile remained. Without giving much thought to it, one arm wrapped around her waist. It just a small, friendly gesture, nothing more. One might think of it as one though...

..."If Kanda sees us like this..." his voice trailed off. She didn't respond, but only hummed, "cause he's your husband...remember?..."

The thought really panged him. It just wasn't right. Lenalee was too young, and Allen had a hard time seeing their relationship as anything but siblings and comrades. In fact, Lenalee deserved better, someone who would treat her like the princess she is. Someone who had shorter hair than her. That's right.

The girl's head shot back, suddenly laughing and snorting. Allen knew from now on he might never see Lenalee as the same peaceful, kind and well mannered girl. "You're so naive, Allen-kun!"

"H-how so?" For support, the girl resumed her previous position- both hands around his neck, while her head rested on his shoulder.

"You don't seriously believe I'm married to Kanda!" Confusion settled over his features. Pulling back slightly, Allen examined her with uncertainty.

"I don't know what you mean." he replied, honestly.

She played with the back his hair, twirling the strands around her fingers. "I'm not married to Kanda."

"What?"

"I never was! That idiot..."

Overwhelmed with the sudden truth (and the fact that her free hand was suddenly making its way down to his ass) Allen pushed off her, and placed her on the edge of the bed, kneeling. "You're not married? You swear?"

Lenalee blinked and smiled. "Why are you so excited?"

Allen's face turned slightly pink, "Am not! I'm just surprised that you would lie to me the whole time; and a bit angry!"

Her hands suddenly came over his cheeks, and clasped his face, "You are very special to me! I would never lie to you!"

"Gur..." her palms were squishing him too much; after placing them away, he responded, "Then why did you lie?"

"It was aaaallll Kanda!" Her legs kicked in the air, and she dropped to the bed, facing the ceiling. He did the best he could not to look below her skirt. Walk around the bed, don't stand here like an idiot...just walk around. "He blackmailed my brother to get me into a mission, goodness. And when my brother refused, Kanda took it all the way. He's really weird!" She spoke quickly.

Allen let this information settle in. So she wasn't married. God, if she weren't drunk, he would have taken the matter further. Talking about the real Lenalee, the things he said before on the couch...god, he must have looked so stupid. He groaned. "I fail."

"Aww Allen, don't be sad. I still love Kanda...like a brother!" she childishly grinned, sitting up.

That's not what I meant. But what hit him the most was what she said on her feelings. Like a brother? Somehow that thought made him breathe easier. Perhaps, he had a better chance at winning her heart now that he was sure she had no romantic feelings for Kanda.

Now that he remembered, it is said that you always tell the truth when you are drunk. Allen hated thinking this way, but what else could Lenalee admit to him?

"Lenalee?"

"Yeees?"

"What are your feelings towards me?"

Patrolling all through the night was hell for Lavi. He was the king of sleep, he owned that part of his life unlike the rest. This was not good for him, no sir-y.

"Hey, eyepatch! Get you skinny ass out of that tunnel and continue your goddamn patrol!" a voice up ahead snarled at him.

Lavi groaned, and rubbed his visible eye. That jerk, Kanda. He summoned his innocence and let the hammer take him to a high point in the sky. "How many more hours?!"

Kanda didn't hear him, or just didn't bother answering. The red head muttered something under his breath and answered his own question by gazing up at the sky. Sunrise would arrive in about two to three ours. Great...

--

Twenty minutes later, and after what seemed like a million years, the two Exorcist spotted something suspicious.

A figure disappeared, just as quick as it appeared, through a dark alley. They caught it just in time, thanks to the moonlight. Kanda muttered Lavi's name, and together they ran towards the scene, weapons at hand. Once arriving at the spot, they saw nothing. The breeze was colder than usual, though. Also, there was a quiet murmur around them. The two were back to back.

"What do you think it is?"

Lavi smirked, "Hopefully a Noah. Or something of that sort; I'm kind of in the mood to destroy some things right now."

"You wouldn't survive against a Noah, eyepatch. Leave that stuff to someone far more stronger than you."

"Eh? I wouldn't let Lenalee fight a Noah. That would be too dangerous, considering she's the Heart."

Kanda scowled, "Che. I meant me."

"It won't matter." A chilling voice sounded in the air. The two Exorcist, though startled, got into a ready stance, eyes scanning all areas around them, "Because you're all going to die."

The same figure, a man in a long dress coat and a hood appeared above them, simply floating in the sky. He held an umbrella. Lifting his face, Lavi could make out the exact tone.

"Noah..."

"Don't worry, my life is too valuable for it to be sacrificed to two lousy Exorcists. My job here is done. Good-bye, " slowly, his body began disintegrating. With one final smile, his fingers rose, and snapped.

He was gone, leaving hoards of Akuma, Level One to Three, at their service.

"Shit." Lavi said.

"The whole city is on lock-down, right?" Kanda asked, placing Mugen in front of him.

"They have been, at night, for the past months." He locked his eye with a level three, and summoned a seal.

Even though Kanda and Lavi have grown exceptionally strong in the past years, it didn't mean it would take less time to defeat the entire swarm. By then, Lavi was a sleep walking corpse.

Lenalee had no idea why she was being chased by Cross Marian. But it was happening, and she was scared out of her mind. So scared, in fact, that she woke up with a start. Immediately, the aftermath of the dream kicked in, and her head faced a head pounding trauma. She clenched her temples, gasping as red sparks danced across her eyes. That was when her stomach heaved. She turned to the left, finding herself throwing up a mixture of green and yellow stuff.

Fortunately, a trash can was placed exactly where she aimed at. Convenient, she couldn't help but think.

A disgruntled sound came through her stomach, and an uneasy feeling washed over her again. She ran straight to the bathroom. A few minutes later, after she was sure she would faint from the clenching of her intestines and the heat of her body, Lenalee slumped to the ground.

What was wrong with her? How can a dream make her like this?

Or...was it the dream?

Lenalee lifted herself up by the counter and gazed at the mirror. God, she looked so awful. And her breath...immediately she reached for the faucet. Rinsing every inch of her mouth.

Something was seriously wrong. What did she do last night...?

Oh! Samantha, Ann and Leslie! The girls who invited her over...what happened there?

Ah, it was too painful to think, and when she tried sleeping again, her stomach didn't approve. Also, she felt so dirty. Ultimately, she decided she wanted to take a shower; just to calm things and and let her muscles relax. She needed a change of clothing...

"Oh?" A pair of her favorite clothing sat at the stool of her bed. She pondered on why- how- Kanda could do such a generous thing...but after getting another wave of dizziness, she best decided to leave the matter at hand. Coming into the bathroom, Lenalee studied her surroundings.

Now that she thought of it...this wasn't exactly how her hotel room looked like (for some reason it reminded her of Allen...hm)...or maybe it did, and she was just being delusional. Just take your shower...worry about everything later.

Realizing it was a glass shower, she groaned. Nevertheless, she stepped in, letting the warm water soothe her body.

Since when has Kanda bossed me around? Lavi wondered, running up the stairs of the Inn. All he wanted to do is sleep! And now he was sent on Kanda's orders to alert the beansprout on the Noah they witnessed and the hoard of Akuma they battled.

Once the light rays of the sun crept up in the morning sky, the remaining Akuma, very few of them, disappeared, and are now possibly roaming the city disguised as a human. Because of the battle, Lavi was dead beat, and a bit bruised. He had to admit though, this information needed to get to Allen as soon as possible.

So he headed straight towards their room.

"Allen! Allen!" he ran towards the doorknob and slammed it open against the wall. Sliding in, he scanned the room, "Allen, Noah!"

He was nowhere in sight. Lavi was about to turn around and head towards the cafeteria, when he heard the sound of a faucet.

The shower! He gritted his teeth, thinking twice about entering. A naked Allen would not be a friendly sight. Agh, but...Kanda said this information was crucial. The town was in danger now that the Earl and them knew the Exorcists were around. Allen's eye would also help locate the hidden Akuma.

Just close your eye and walk in...

He slowly opened the door, his one eye covered by his hand. "Allen! Kanda and I spotted a No-AHHHHHHHH!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

For some reason, his hand was back to his side. His eyes weren't closed, but wide open, in sheer shock and disbelief at what was before him. "LENALEE???!!"

The girl was staring with complete horror at him. A few seconds past and her hands shot straight towards her private areas, remembering her current state of appearance under the shower. Lenalee, then, went off screaming at the top of her lungs, "LAVI! LAVI, GET OUT NOW, YOU DISGUSTING PERVERT! AAAH!"

In complete fear, he whimpered and swiveled around, shutting the door closed. The sight he just witnessed wouldn't disappear before his eyes. Rubbing and closing them...all he could see was her. At the same moment, Lenalee was still screaming her head off.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Lavi cried on the other end, "I thought you were Allen!" Yet, his pleading was drowned out by her screams.

His teeth clashed together...he just saw Lenalee Lee, girl of his dreams, NAKED!

And he really couldn't tell if he regretted it...

STRIKE! 3,015 words! I thought this was going to be -2,000. WOOT!

Next Chapter: Do I even need to state it? (LavixLenalee)

Allen: Your hand just touched my ass.

Lenalee: That's because your hand just grazed my boob.

Allen: ...you wanna just make out?

Lenalee: ...yeah, why not, we're half way there, anyway.
