midnightstar | A SURPRISE LENALEE APPROACHES; Command?

Despite all of everything the Black Order has been through, it was business as usual for the various teams. Lenalee and Allen were in one team with Miranda and a few Finders. Lucky them, their mission took them to the mountains - beautiful scenery, but cold weather. Fortunately they managed to find a small inn with vacancies, so they could stay indoors. Amazingly, Miranda was actually sleeping more peacefully than Lenalee at the moment.

Although after all of the scenarios and seeing all of the deaths in the war with the Earl and fighting the akuma, (...not to mention what she personally has been through), it really should come as no surprise that Lenalee's sleep was less than restful. While she managed to snatch an hour or two here and there of sleep, worries about her friends, her brother, and one exorcist in particular all contributed to making her nightmare particularly bloody and gruesome. When she jerked awake for the second time that night (or was it third, she wasn't sure), she knew she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep right away, so she silently slipped out of her room, padding down the hall. Maybe a glass of water would settle her nerves.

Well he was eager, so that was good right? Still, Lenalee pouted a bit for a second. "Allen...? Do you remember what you told me about your dream before?"

That's aaaaaaaaaaaall the clue he's gonna get, but when he does turn to look at Lenalee -- well it's not -QUITE- like the dream since, obviously no tent. But she'd changed into what looked like a night shirt with several buttons undone. The length of it reaching to about just above mid-thigh, but the body language of her stance - clearly said 'look at me'. She even was striking a sultry pose, with her hands running through her hair and lifting it off of her shoulders a bit.

Please don't die.

"I...do?" Allen answered before his heart started racing once again this time for a different reason. No...surely she wouldn't...would she? Allen didn't think she'd go that far but maybe that was his conceit.Whatever the case the moment Lenalee stepped out from behind the screen, he slowly turned his gaze around. Only for his jaw to suddenly fall slack as he saw that pose and state of clothing Lenalee was in.

It was..a perfect....no it was even better than what he had imagined. And it was right there....in front of him. Lenalee was there in reality in that pose and giving him that look that almost threatened to send him out cold. But no he couldn't do that. He wanted to enjoy this moment and Lenalee herself as well.

"I...am I dreaming all of a sudden?"

Oh thank you Anita for those tips, Lenalee mentally whispered, seeing the look on Allen's face. It was better than she had hoped for. Still that question almost made her giggle - she smiled softly instead, taking small steps forward to draw nearer. "Why would you think that..?" she reached out with a hand to gently touch his cheek, "Does that feel like a dream?"

Thank you Anita indeed. To think the more experienced woman had shared so many of her secret tricks with Lenalee. Oh if Komui knew he would probably cry tears of blood. Instead Allen could only look in awe as Lenalee drew closer.

"IT doesn't no...but I never thought I would see you like this outside of my dream..." Allen confessed before he adjusted his position on the side of her bed the closer Lenalee got. His eyes drank in her entire form from clothes to the curves of eher body as they were barely hidden behind her disheveled garments.

Lenalee giggled a little nervously, "Well..." She paused, and sat down beside him, "It's not a dream. But since you told me about it, I wanted.. to do this for you." With her own twist, ofcourse.

"Well I can safely say you've blown the fantasy completely out of the water. I....just can't stop looking at you. At every part of you that makes up this look of yours right now. You are...beyond beautiful. Not even Irresistible would do it justice" Allen confessed.

"Actually there is...another part of that fantasy....Could you sit against your pillows for me?"

Lenalee's face went red at the high praise, though she was more than a little pleased that it went over so well, "Re--Really.. good.." How the heck was she supposed to top herself now? Dangit. Oh wait - "Another part?" She blinked, "Oh..! Sure um... let me just ..." She scooted back on her bed a bit until she was sitting against her pillows, tucking her legs to the side. "Like this?"

Her legs were exactly what Allen was after, as Lenalee would discover the moment Allen ran his leg over her foot before his fingers tenderly brushed over the scars at her ankles. He frowned faintly imagining how much getting these must have hurt for Lenalee. He didn't know if her new form caused her pain during activation either.

Even so just as she had accepted every part of him, so too did Allen intend to do the same as he suddenly bent over Lenalee's legs and...pressed his lips to a scar on her ankle.

She wasn't sure what to expect from him, so she watched him patiently, confusion in her eyes when he brushed his hand over the cross shaped scars there. "Alle-" her words ended in an abrupt squeak of surprise, her face flushing even more at the intimate gesture. Intimate..but not one without meaning.

He looked up at her with upturned eyes while he still pressed his warm lips to those scars on her ankles taking care to pay his respects to each pair in sequence.

"As much as I don't know about this part of you...I still love it every bit as much as I love the whole." Allen murmured before he pulled away at least and leaned up to finally press his lips to Lenalee's again. Hopefully watching him move so slowly but deliberately wouldn't eliminate whatever ideas she had cooking before he turned on the charm to eleven.

Red as an apple, she was, her heart pounding hard enough that it almost hurt - it felt like it wanted to burst out through her rib cage. "O..ohallen.." she stammered softly, managing to exhale the two words as one.

How could she not love this man? He was everything to her- him and Komui both. Some women might get jealous, and say he should love her more than anything else -over the world, and claim he didn't love them enough for something silly like that. But like Allen would never demand she put him before Komui, she wouldn't treat Allen so disrespectfully.

They understood each other so well, it wasn't needed. Now...with all that on the table, with him turning the charm up to eleven like that, it was a little difficult for her to recall her own ideas -- not that she'd had a great many. She was sure it would come back to her - she brought her hands up to slide around him when he crawled up to kiss her.

His own heart beat frantically in his chest. After all he was taking some liberties with her body that some would consider too soon given how fresh their relationship still was. But Allen surprisingly enough didn't care about such trivial details. This was the way he wanted to show his love and damn anyone who disagreed. Unless of course that someone was Lenalee herself.

Her hands smoothly found their place around him and Allen found himself laying between Her legs while his lips claimed Lenalee's once more this time with such passion and pure love that it was nothing short of dazzling.

"I want you...in so many ways Lenalee. I want you by my said, I want you in my life I want you to smile and be happy and content and never miss another thing ever again. " He murmured between kisses as his hands found their way to Lenalee's hips.

Komui would ertainly agree that their relationship progressed too quickly -- but it wasn't factored in that they knew each other so well, that they worked together through everything - despite how quickly it seemed, it just clicked as natural as well.

Lenalee certainly wasn't going to second guess herself about her relationship with him. It felt right to her, and that, and Allen's feelings, were all she needed in it.

She felt drunk - on happiness, on love, on the words from her love that she echoed wholeheartedly every day and every way, "All those things..are what I want for you as well, Allen," she murmured back, drinking in each sweet and hungry kiss. Her own kisses pressed a gentle firmness against his mouth, not seeking out a deeper kiss yet, "And I want to be with you every step of the way. I will be." She promised herself, and him."

They had clicked the moment they both went on a mission together. She had come to care for him so much that she'd even slapped him for trying to save that doomed soul even at the cost of his own body given the explosion he had almost rushed into. The meaning behind those tears, that angry cry and stinging strike to his cheek. TO think he had missed those meanings back then.

Which was why he wanted to make up for lost time now.

"Then I will promise the very same." Allen nodded and then suddenly Lenalee found herself tugged and flipped until she was right on top of him and he was on his back with his head against the pillows.

So caught off guard by him flipping their position, that she muffled a small noise of surprise at the sudden movement, against his mouth. Taking only a second to blink away that surprise, she giggled, nodding once. "That's all we can ask of each other," she hummed, cradling his face between her hands as she kissed him again.

Falling silent for a second more, just appreciating the feel of his body beneath her, she leaned back after a second to regard him thoughtfully, ".. you really are amazing, Allen." She said, totally out of the blue.

He gladly returned the kiss, lips forming to Lenalee's without any real conscious effort on his part as he hummed and closed his eyes in bliss until Lenalee finally pulled away, breaking the spell of the moment. Only to strike him speechless all over again.

"W-Where did that come from?"

Lenalee grinned at his reaction, ".. it's the truth. It's just how I feel about you." She chuckles, "Sorry, it just ..felt like something I should say just then. Although from that reaction I kind of want to say it every day now."

"E-Every day? I'm not sure I could handle that often..." Allen muttered, his cheeks blazing in shyness but there was no denying that he felt immensely happy about being told that. Beyond the blushing of course.

Lenalee chuckled, brushing her hand against his cheek, "Oh.. all right, then I'll keep it to myself and just..bless you with those words when I think you need to hear them most." Wait, that would still be every day. "Or at least, I'll not say it every single day."

"I think that can be arranged." Allen nodded, a big smile painted over is lips. Even so the blush in his cheeks didn't die out completely. "Could you...do that again? That look you had on when you first came out from behind the folding screen."

"That look? .. urm.." She paused, "Yeah, I think so.. do you mean this?" She hoped it was right - she just.. had to recapture that look of love and desire, the look of a woman who hasn't seen the love of her life - and was looking forward to being with him that evening - again. "And I think..my hands were like this..?" She raised her arms to touch her hands into her hair. "Like that?"

Same as before, Allen could do nothing but stare back. dumbfounded and in awe. It was such a simple set of changes to her posture and yet they completely managed to grasp every fiber of hsi being and refused to let go. A spell he wanted to be a prisoner of for all eternity.

"...Beautiful doesn't even begin to do you justice..." Allen murmured as he surfaced from that initial daze. "Lenalee....I want to touch you more."

And to think, she never once would use that power over him for her own gains. What kind of madness would that be if she did? Her smile widened slightly more at his faint murmur. "Allen.." She reached down with both hands, catching his human hand and lifting it to her cheek.

Her initial response was to tell him he needn't get her permission for that, but... something told her it might give him a little -TOO- much free reign, at this point. Better ease him into what she'd allow him, rather than let him run wild. "If you want to touch me, touch me-" she said instead, pressing a kiss to the back of his hand, "I'm all yours, tonight."

Allen watched her take his hand pressing her smooth warm cheek against it. Even his human hand was not as soft as hers and yet he could feel the softness of her cheek even more keenly.

"Lenalee..." He murmured, his voice chock full of absolute love for the wonderful girl who had become so dear to him.

"I want you to do the same too. I-If you want to of course."

Lenalee smiled softly, letting go of his hand carefully as she nodded, "I do... I want to.. How could i not?" she leaned over him, her eyes combing over his frame with an adoring gaze, "HOw could I ever resist? You.. you're too precious too me."
