Allen was completely off-guard. He yelped and jumped away from Lavi, rubbing his stinging backside.
“Ow! Lavi, what the bloody hell?”
Lavi snickered and shook his hand a bit, feeling the aftermath. “I always said I’d tap that, so I did.” He awkwardly winked his one good eye but he was sure Allen got the message.
Allen had not expected that response. At all. His jaw dropped and he stood still for a moment, trying to process exactly what Lavi was implying.
“W-what?” he asked, his face heating up when he realized he had not somehow misheard. And that Lavi was winking at him.
