He smelled good. He smelled so good. Lavi couldn’t pull his
face away from Allen’s hair or even remove his hands off his body. He
had planned on talking now, having the discussion that was long overdue
so they could just understand where they stood with each other – but he
couldn’t bring himself to pull away from the white haired boy.

“Allen…” Lavi spoke, his voice husky and low. He pulled back just
enough to look at Allen’s face, intent on saying something – something
important. However, the words died on his tongue at the sight before
him. Allen’s face was flushed, his lips wet, and those damn cat ears
were twitching with anxious energy. Allen looked up at him with
heavy-lidded eyes, and Lavi could easily see the desire swimming in
those silver irises.

That look was all the redhead needed. Lavi leaned in again, this time
to capture Allen’s mouth against his own in a searing kiss. His arms
wound around Allen’s smaller frame, fingers grasping at the fabric of
his shirt. A soft whine escaped Lavi’s throat as he kissed the other
boy, losing himself in a heavy wave of lust.

Allen looked up as Lavi said his name in an odd, husky tone. Lavi stared down at him with an almost hungry look, and before Allen could react he was being kissed.

Allen made a small noise of surprise, before kissing Lavi back eagerly. He tightened his grip on Lavi’s shirt, trying to pull him closer as he felt his back hit the wall.

Lavi nodded, feeling a smidge of relief when he received a coherent reply from the frozen boy. “Ok, I’ll let you change in here. I’ll be in the kitchen. Holler if you need me.” Lavi got up and headed to his small kitchen, just out of sight.

He grabbed the old, metal teapot off the stove and filled it full of water. Once it was filled to capacity, he set it on the stove and turned the burner on high. He pulled out a couple of mugs from the cupboard, as well as a few packets of cocoa and instant ramen noodles. Trying to focus on making something for the kid to eat and warm him up, Lavi tried to ignore the sounds coming from the living room.

Allen waited until Lavi was out of sight, then looked at the sweatpants in his hand. He was so tired… but if he didn’t put them on himself, when that guy came back he would do it.

Allen tried to stand, but his numb legs refused to cooperate. After a few unsuccessful attempts, and nearly falling off the couch several times, he gave up and tried undoing the buttons instead.

After a lot of fumbling with his frozen fingers, he managed to at least unbutton his jeans. He groaned and leaned back into the couch, closing his eyes again. Exhausted as he was, the fact it took so much effort to even do one step of the process made him just want to give up.

Lavi had noticed Allen’s arm and how he covered up the scarred
appendage, but was too worried about how cold the other boy was to
bother with it. He didn’t care much, not when his main concern was
getting Allen into warm clothes and bringing up his core temperature.
Every time Lavi’s fingers brushed against Allen’s skin, it felt cold and
clammy. The redhead was truly worried he’d have to take him to the
hospital.

Once the boots were off, Lavi realized he had to get him
out of the soaked pants as well. He made a face, realizing how awkward
it would be if he just ripped open a stranger’s pants and yanked them
off. He felt like a creeper as it was.

“Hey, I need to take off
your pants to change into these. Ok?” Lavi lifted the pair of clean, dry
sweatpants he’d procured from his bedroom earlier. “Can you do it
yourself or do you need help?” There – as long as he asked first, he
wouldn’t feel as much like a pervert, even if his cheeks were a tad red.

“I can do it.” Maybe. Allen still felt exhausted, but he felt more awake now. He figured he could probably manage it… somehow. He reached out for the sweatpants, and waited to see if Lavi was going to leave him to change.

Lavi had been glaring at Allen until the other boy started talking.
Slowly, his face went from angry to confused, until finally realization
dawned on him as if a bucket of ice water had spilled over his head.
Guilt ached in his bones as he watched Allen turn and slip away behind
one of the shelves to hide his tears. Of course Lavi could see that he
was crying – he’d have to be an idiot to miss it.

And Allen’s
words, oh, they hit him hard. Was that what he’d been feeling all this
time? Was that why Allen had been avoiding him, dodging him at every
turn? Because he was certain that Lavi was going to reject him? God, it
hurt the redhead to even think about it.

Anger now dissipated,
Lavi got up off of the bed and followed Allen to where he hid himself
away. The sight was almost too much to bear, and Lavi could feel his own
eye prickle and burn with the threat of tears.

“Al…” he started,
reaching out hesitantly to touch Allen’s quaking shoulders. “I wasn’t
going to say anything like that. I can’t believe you would think that I
would…”

Lavi’s arms slipped around Allen further, pulling him into
a loose hug. He rested one hand on the back of his head, finger
threading through the silver locks. “Allen. I like you. I mean, I really like
you. I like you so much that it scares me a little,” the redhead
admitted, feeling his voice tremble. “And that you thought for even one
minute that I didn’t care about you… I’m so sorry, Allen.”

Allen jumped in surprise when Lavi spoke, but didn’t resist as Lavi pulled him into a hug. He had to make an effort to concentrate on Lavi’s words, the hand in his hair was really distracting. It felt so good, somehow, for Lavi to hold him like this, and he tried to ignore how hot he felt. Stupid potions!

“I’m sorry…” he whispered, his hands gripping Lavi’s coat to pull him closer, resting his head on Lavi’s shoulder. “It wasn’t your fault… If I hadn’t run away…” If he had just talked to Lavi in the first place, it would have saved them both a lot of heartache.

Lavi had to rip his dresser apart to find clothes that would even begin to fit the homeless kid sitting on his couch. He found and old pair of sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt that would have to do. He grabbed a couple towels on his way out of the room and turned the thermostat on high as he headed back towards the couch.

When he reached Allen again, the poor guy looked like he was about to pass out on the couch. Knowing that hypothermia was an all too real likelihood, he tried to keep him awake. So, Lavi decided to talk. “Hey, I’m going to get you out of these wet clothes, ok? I’m not trying to feel you up or anything.”

Lavi pulled on Allen’s shirt first, finding the fabric hard to yank off while it was so wet. But, when he finally managed it, he dropped it to the floor with the coat and pulled the dry towel around Allen’s shoulders. Next he worked on his boots, those taking even more time than the shirt. Meanwhile, he could hear the furnace turning on and hopefully working its magic. “I usually keep my apartment pretty cool, but in your case, I’ll make an exception.”

Allen knew there was something he should be worried about as Lavi pulled of his shirt, but he couldn’t think of what it was. He tried to brush the feeling off, but as a towel was put around his shoulders and Lavi started to remove his boots, it continued to nag at him. It wasn’t until he felt warm air blow across his arms that he realized what was wrong. His deformed arm was showing. 

He stiffened a bit, opening his eyes to look at the redhead nervously, but he seemed to be occupied with pulling off his other boot. Did he not notice…? Allen didn’t know how he could possibly miss it, but the man in front of him gave no indication he had noticed it at all. Well, if he hadn’t noticed it yet, he was sure to in time…

Allen reached up and pulled at the towel over his shoulders, moving it to cover his left shoulder and arm instead. It was the best he could think to do at the moment, as exhaustion still made it difficult to want to move, or even think.

“It sure seemed like you didn’t want to talk to me, considering you dodged me every chance you could,” Lavi snapped back, still resting against the discarded, old mattress. Anger and hurt swirled in his chest like a maelstrom. It had been growing for weeks now, and being trapped in this basement room with Allen only amplified the feelings he had tried to keep bottled up for so long.

When Allen mentioned being scared, he sat up. “Scared? Of what?” he asked, the angry tone still in his voice. “Scared of me? Scared of what happened between us? Scared of others finding out?” Each question sounded like an accusation as Lavi’s voice continued to raise the longer he spoke.

It all was starting to be too much for Allen to handle. Lavi’s voice rising, his own crushing guilt, and the stupid chemicals making him feel weird. He turned his back to Lavi, trying to hold back tears as he tried to think of some way to fix this. Each word Lavi said pierced into his heart, and his own words came tumbling out.

“I didn’t want to hear what you were going to say! ‘It was just a dare gone too far’… ‘it was fun but there shouldn’t be any feelings involved’… I didn’t want to hear it! And I’m so stupid because there is no way you would want to be with someone like me and I knew that and-” his voice cut off with a choked sob, as he realized he said far too much. Lavi wasn’t stupid… he would realize right away what Allen meant.

He felt trapped. He wanted to run, but there was no where to go. The tears he had been holding back fell as he realized that he had just done the equivalent of crushing the broken pieces of their friendship into dust. He couldn’t turn around, he didn’t want to see what kind of expression Lavi would have on his face… pity, disgust, indifference… but he didn’t want to stand there either.

So he did the best he could, walking away until Lavi and the bed were obstructed by the shelves, He leaned his shoulder against a wall as he shook with silent sobs, one hand over his eyes as the other clutched at his chest.

As they turned the corner, Lavi spotted his apartment building. The redbrick façade and large door for the main entrance was a welcome sight in any circumstance. Lavi hurried them both inside and up the stairs. It was slightly warmer once they passed the threshold, but a chill still hung in the air as they made it up two flights before reaching the correct landing.

It felt like Lavi was practically carrying Allen at this point, but the redhead was so focused on getting the poor boy to somewhere warm that he barely acknowledged the additional weight at his side. When they stopped in front of Lavi’s door, he unlocked it without issue and pulled Allen inside.

The walls were lined with bookshelves, books, magazines and newspapers littering every surface. The whole apartment was a mess, like usual, but Lavi managed to shuffle through it and bring Allen to the old couch in the living room.

Lavi still felt the panic in his chest from earlier, but at least now he knew what to do. He quickly unzipped Allen’s filthy, soaked coat and pulled it off as fast as possible, tossing it on the floor without care where it landed. When he saw that Allen’s other clothes were also dirty and drenched, he knew he had to strip him out of those as well.

“Wait here. I’m going to get a towel and some clean clothes,” Lavi said, hurrying off to his bedroom.

The rest of the trip was a blur, and the next thing Allen knew was that he was being put down onto a warm couch. He closed his eyes, ignoring the hands pulling off his coat. He could tell he was being spoken to, and he knew he should at least try to pay attention to what was happening because he was alone with a complete stranger… but it was much more tempting to try to fall asleep instead.

The look on Allen’s face sobered Lavi quick enough, as well as the half step back the younger boy took to distance himself. Even if Lavi wasn’t angry at Allen, he was still pissed off – and unfortunately, Allen was the only one who could listen to his frustrations at the moment. He felt horrible for making Allen nervous even for a second. Though, how he could look the least bit intimidating with fluffy, white rabbit ears was beyond him.

Then, Lavi remembered that Allen didn’t exactly want to see or talk to him at the moment either. He sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose. “You know what, Allen? Forget it. Do what you want while we’re stuck in here. I don’t care. It’s not like you want to talk to me anyway.” Like a petulant child, Lavi turned away and walked over to the abandoned bed in the corner of the room. Not caring about the dust, he flopped back on the mattress and stared up at the stone ceiling.

Ouch. His heart hurt from Lavi’s accusation. Allen knew Lavi would likely be upset at him, but he hadn’t meant for the other to feel hurt… though now, he wondered why he hadn’t realized that would happen. He didn’t move as Lavi walked away, staring at his feet as he tried to think of a way to fix the mess he had made of their friendship.

“That’s not… I didn’t…” He tried to think of a way to explain himself. “It’s not that I didn’t want to talk to you.” He fought to keep his voice steady, the stress making it hard to speak. If Lavi knew that Allen had feelings towards him…

He felt so stupid, he should have just let Lavi talk to him weeks ago. Lavi could make it clear he didn’t want what happened to mean anything, and they could keep on going as friends. Now, Allen didn’t know how to justify his avoidance without damaging their friendship. 

“I was scared…” He hoped Lavi would just leave it at that… it was vague enough to be true, but Lavi would likely interpret it as being ‘scared of it changing their friendship’ or something, rather than ‘scared of rejection’.

Lavi did what he could to warm Allen and before he knew it, their stop was up. Helping Allen to his feet, he shuffled them both down the narrow bus aisle and managed to get them off before someone yelled at them for taking too long.

As soon as they hit the streets again, the wind and rain greeted them like an old, unwelcome enemy. Lavi winced and pulled Allen closer so he could speak into his ear. “It’s not much further. Just hang on, ok?”

Allen was exhausted, but did his best to walk as the other guided him off the bus. He made a noise of complaint when they left the warmth of the bus, the cold wind and rain feeling even colder than before. He heard the other speak, and while he couldn’t quite understand where they were going, his muddled mind did manage to realize that reaching their destination would mean he could stop and sleep. He put more effort into walking, motivated by that thought.
