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.

She occasionally tilted her head for a better touch of their lips, not pressing for anything more ...yet. She was so far content with having him in her arms, in the quiet of the evening with only their whispered voices breaking the silence.

"Then you're my dream..my fantasy," she murmured back as she slipped in kisses between words, "My beloved...my world.." All of those titles suited him - but especially, "My Allen.."

She could press for more at any time she wished. Allen would never refuse. But if she didn't then he would make the first move. For now just basking in everything that was Lenalee was far more important to him.

Still to hear all of those hallowed titles given to him, Allen couldn't help but be absolutely touched.

"You....probably can't even imagine how much those words mean to me..."

He's going to eat those words, when she ambushes him to try new tricks to seduce him one day. For right now she wanted to bask with him, her craving held at bay for the time back. "It's all true." she said earnestly, studying his face, "You're ... so important to me. I never thought I would meet someone who would be as important - as necessary to me as Komui is. And then I met you..and fell in love with you."

Is he though? Allen wasn't so sure he would. Still that was something for the future. Something to look forward to very eagerly. As such he would much rather focus on the now. On the girl who had his heart.

"You're going to make me blush if you keep going on like that." Allen said scratching his cheek shyly.

Lenalee grinned, "But you're so cute when you blush, I can't resist doing it." Giggling impishly, she pulled him closer, nibbling along his jaw, "Makes me want to do it more and more, to tease you and make my precious Allen blush."

I could throw that right back at you, you know?." Allen quipped before a low hum issued when Lenalee teased his jaw like that. Honestly he adored this really assertive side of Lenalee. Well she had plenty of assertiveness in other things but this was a side only he got to see and that meant the world to him.

She giggled at the quip, snuggling against him, "I know," she grinned, "But right now I've got you-" totally not the other way around, as she teasingly tightens her arms around him, "And I'm glad you agreed to stay with me tonight," she added, ignoring her own small blush, "I've dreamed about being in your arms when I sleep..a lot. Especially when I was away."

"Touche. I am certainly in your grasp and at your mercy~" Allen chuckled softly before lovingly tightening his hold around Lenalee.

"You too? I've been dreaming of it too. Ever since that first night I've always wished you would be there with me in the morning." Allen confessed. On the inside he was quite happy to know he wasn't the only one with such simple but precious yearning.

Lenalee laughed softly, pressing an affectionate kiss against his lips. Totally without mercy, yep. "I wish I had known about your feelings sooner. I feel like we lost out on time together because of that." Now they'll forever be playing catch up. Which actually suited her just fine. They could be together now and ..now that they knew without a shadow of a doubt that the soundproofing in her room was -very- good...

A kiss he gladly surrendered himself into. No matter how many times they kissed be it more intimately or innocently, Allen could never get enough of that rush. It made him feel like walking on air pretty much. And that was Lenalee's thing!

"I'm just happy we came clean at all. Honestly I probably wouldn't have tried to say anything while the war is going on." Allen said with a wry smile before his innocence hand reached out and took hold of hers tenderly.

She felt the same way. She was so addicted to him in such a short time, that whenever she saw him she wanted to be in his arms, or hold him tight, tease him to make him blush, spend time with him, sleep with him - her list was endless. It all amounted to an eternity of loving him.

Sheepishly, she curled her fingers against his innocence hand. She may hate his eye, but she more than accepted it - every part of it. Even that arm he considered monstrous. It wasn't right to accept parts of him and reject others. Every part of him made him who he was. "You don't..think we made a mistake, do you?" She asked quietly, voicing a tiny, almost insignificant concern she'd had. "That we should have kept it to ourselves until after...?" Pining for each other or oblivious to each other's feelings - she somehow felt like that would be even worse.

Allen couldn't help the beat of his heart when he felt her human hand reciprocate the hold of his less than so. It was such a simple gesture but now it meant more than ever to Allen.

"I don't think we have. Because now we have a bigger future than just peace to work towards." Allen murmured and lifted her held hand up to his lips, closing his eyes the moment they touched the back of her hand.

Immediately she looked relieved, her hand tightening in his as she felt him kiss the back of her hand. Such an innocent, and intimate gesture at the same time, she felt her cheeks warm as her heart swelled and skipped a beat from joy. "I hoped you'd say that," she murmured softly, giving him a happy smiled, watching him contentedly - he always looked so peaceful with her.

He didn't just look peaceful. He felt at peace in Lenalee's arms the most. That had been something he'd deduced while he was away from her. Something he'd yet to tell her. But in time he would. Most likely. Right now all they needed was that being so close to one another made them happier than anything else.

"I would have to be the world's biggest fool to regret this."

Her smile widened, grinning even more brightly than before. With a soft chuckle, she tugged her hand away and leaned in to kiss him again, lingering until she felt herself need air, "That's right, you would be." she said finally, teasing. "And so would I. Besides, I'm more happy to tell you how much I love you up front, than to hide it."

He tipped his head up a little into the kiss and just allowed himself to soak in that love and joy that overflowed.

"I look forward to that and to doing the same in turn. Though I don't think I will be able to serenade you just yet." Allen jested with a chuckle.

She couldn't help but express the joy and love she had for him, when he made her happy - no, beyond happy - every day. Every second. Just him lying with her and hearing him breathing, seeing his smile was enough to make her happy.

"Serenade?" She echoed, giggling softly. "I didn't know you could sing, Allen." That'll be a nice surprise to hear - though he'll probably embarrass her to the point of flustering.

"I haven't had the chance to use that set of skills in a long time so I might be rusty. But I would certainly practice if your brother wouldn't try to schedule me for a last minute operation on my Innocence." Allen chuckled, this time taking the initiative and laying a light kiss to Lenalee's lips.

"I wouldn't let him," Lenalee giggled. Humming softly at the light kiss, she traded him one back- then with another soft giggle she abruptly rolled him on top of her, where he could feel her legs stealthily slink over to trap his in place, and where her hands could freely explore his back, tracing every muscle, and even counting the numerous scratches, lightly letting her nails run along the lines in his skin.

"Fair enough. When you put it like that I can't help but believe you~" Even so he wouldn't dedicate himself too much to that particular goal. Given he was pondering on those thigns he was completely unprepared to have Lenalee roll them both over. But now that he was on top of her like that, Allen couldn't help but feel....a little excited.

That was quite fine, he didn't need to serenade her. It was a funny thought though. And it was enjoyable to catch him by surprise, like she just did. That mix of surprise and excitement was a perfect match for the bright and attentive gaze she was giving him, her hands slowly running over his back in light circles as she drank in the sight of his expression.

"Mmmmm~ Lernaleee~" Allen groaned softly before letting himself get more swept up into the creator's sight. The look on his face was nothing short of elated and yet so delightful too.

She was in heaven - letting him press his body against hers for a chance, that soft groan from her beloved's lips. "Allen.." As he started to get swept up in the sight, she pulled him down until she could press her lips up against his, curling her arms around his neck to keep him from pulling back.

Pulling back was the last possible thing on his mind. Especially when she pulled him in that close and spoke his name so lovingly. It was a sensation he could never get enough of. He didn't ever want to get enough of it.

His tongue quickly sought out Lenalee's as a delighted hum flowed from their joined lips while he let his hand smoothly glide up along her sides.

Ahh, yes, that sensation... she didn't know what it was about feeling him kiss her like that that made her want more of it, but she responded with a low happy hum of her own as she explored the feel of his tongue and mouth, her hands running over his back with a light touch that occasionally added the light feel of her nails gently trailing against his skin.
