midnightstar | How it should have happened!

"If you do this, you won't be able to come back. They'll think of you as a traitor or a spy, the same as Allen." Komui had said. Well, she probably wouldn't be judged AS harshly as Allen, but it wouldn't look favorably on Lenalee if she up and abandoned the Order to chase after him. It was one thing to drag him back, but knowing what would wait for him if she did, she had no intention of doing so. And she had no intention of leaving his side once she found him either.

This... was not what she had dreamed of when she thought about the days of not being needed in the Order - when she and Allen could live together, even with Komui. But she didn't regret her decision. She did, however, worry about Komui once she left - because he would probably take the consequences for it. Sure he reassured her about it, that he would be fine - and that he would even follow as soon as he could, if he could -- lord knows they would be watching him like a /hawk/ if they didn't imprison him or something.

Was this really the right thing to do? Abandon her family for her love? Lenalee shook her head. Had to stop thinking like that. Komui was no fool, and he had his own allies there. He'd be fine.. besides, the dreams she had when she was able to sleep.. they worried her. frightened her, even.

No, that's a laugh. She hadn't been able to sleep properly since Allen took off. That's why she went out with the team to try and find them - but since they were called back, Lenalee couldnt help but disagree with the decision. Which is why she called her brother on a secure line and ..he already knew honestly. He knew she wouldn't agree to peacefully going back, after all she and Allen had been through.

So with her brother's blessing, reassurance and request that she convey his worries to Allen as well, Lenalee made an excuse that she needed to use the bathroom, and bolted the moment she was out of sight. Once she lost her pursuers, she would focus on searching for Allen properly. And pray (ha) she wasn't making a horrible mistake.

"What a coincidence. I couldn't agree more~" Allen answered with a soft purr while he leaned over to press a kiss to her lips while he lightly swayed her in his arms just for the need to feel her moving with him.

"Honestly. This couldn't be any further from the way I expected this morning to be like before you caught me."

She swayed with him, grinning as she closed her eyes and just basked in the feel of his body and arms around her. If they took other steps they might as well be dancing in that small spot by the closet. "No regrets, I hope?" She murmured softly.

"No not in the slightest." Allen shook his head and brushed the tip of his nose against Lenalee's while he peered into those gorgeous eyes.

"Honestly I was so lost once I left you." He murmured gently while he closed his eyes to nuzzle against her temple.

Lenalee caught her breath, and nuzzled against him even more. She didn't know why she felt surprised by that, but hearing him say it hit her harder than she thought it would. Enough that she sniffed a bit and hugged him tightly, ".. I was lost without you, too, Allen.."

Allen closed his eyes and hugged her even closer. IT had been a choice he made yes but it didn't mean it didn't kill a part of him to do it. And now that part was back in his arms. HE knew he wouldn't be able to do it again. Not now.

"I'll have to make it up to you then."

She hugged him as close as she could, gently swaying in place with him, mutely nodding. Granted she didn't want to make him feel obligated to make it up to her, but she also knew he would only insist if she said it wasn't necessary, "... okay." Holding her this close like this was certainly a wonderful start ... well actually their wild, intimate moment earlier was a really wonderful start. She took another breath, curling her fingers against his back, and... oh those were a lot of faint scratches weren't there? Ahahah. She's.. not going to ruin the sweetness of the moment by being embarrassed about that.

Allen tactfully chose to keep quiet as well, trading remarks about that for nuzzles against Lenalee's neck and ear whispering sweetly to her as they danced to a tune that only existed in their own minds.

"Honestly just being with you like this makes me fall for you even harder."

Lenalee huffed a soft laugh at that, "You say that like it's a bad thing," she teased, "Is it so awful to love me so much?" She added, looking up to him and leaning up on tiptoe to nuzzle cheek against his playfully. Of course it wasn't, and she knew he felt the same - but anything to keep the mood light and loving than to worry about their situation, the elephant in the room that was polite enough to sit in the corner of the room and wait for them to get enough of a fill of each other that they would be able to sit and discuss their plans properly.

"It couldn't be anything further than that. Having you heart is the greatest blessing I could ever ask for." He just hoped he would be worth it until the end of time. But he kept those words to himself instead tucking around Lenalee even more while his hands slowly settled on the small of her back.

"My sweetest Lenalee~"

Lenalee reached up to touch his cheek, a bemused, adoring smile on her lips, "My precious Allen.." As far as she was concerned, he was more than worth it. Always and forever. If he wasn't, she would never have gone looking for him to be by his side. Feeling him tuck more around her, she snuggled her arms closer around him, creating a cocoon of space for the two of them alone as she sighed, whispering back to him, "I'll love you forever." For the rest of her life, and beyond.

That smile. Oh god that precious smile. Allen just stared for a moment before pulling Lenalee in for another kiss, this time lingering for as long as he had breath. Or Lenalee had breath in case she started having trouble first.

As he pulled her closer for the kiss, she let her eyes drift closed, pressing closer to him as she leaned into the kiss with a soft purr, her hand gently stroking over the back of his head. Lingering as long as she could - as it happened, it wasn't her lack of breath that interrupted her, but the sound of clinking glasses and a ...few carts being pushed down the hall. The 'Do Not Disturb' sign was still on the doorknob after all, so they couldn't very well knock and let the loving occupants know the food was delivered. But it was a minute or two before she realized that the food was probably there, and nudged him to pull back. Though it took another couple of seconds for her to find her words, "I.. I think that's the food." Still not hungry but they might as well clear the carts and bring the food in.

Oh right. THey did in fact put that sign on the door. Allen had completely forgotten as proven by the fact that he was still waiting for something more noticeable. Yet here they were now and no food. NOt that Allen was even thinking about food at this point.

"Oh....I guess so. One more kiss?" Allen asked leaning a little closer.

".. one more," Lenalee agreed, grinning. The food wasn't going anywhere, after all, and one more kiss wouldn't hurt. Though she'd have to resist the urge to make 'one more' into 'two more' and 'two more' into 'three more', so on and so forth. It'd probably be better to just get the food and then they could focus on all the kisses they wanted. "Then we should bring the food in at the least." She leaned up to him, "Then we won't have to be distracted." And they could just focus on each other.

Darn she just had to use logic that he couldn't counter reasonably. Oh well. Allen reluctantly let go of Lenalee before nuzzling up to her ear and blowing one last time. "Then I'll go get it." He said before stepping around her and heading to the door to pull the cart in.

She let out a squeak at the feel of his breath against her ear, stunning her long enough that she couldn't protest about getting the food, "Allen!" Wasn't that the whole reason he helped tie the sheets on? Or did he just have ulterior motives and wanted to see her wrapped in a bedsheet - gasp! She pouted at him instead, though she fell silent when he opened the door and saw the cart FULL of food. More than she expected they'd bring up for sure. But hay, it was enough for the rest of the evening with food left over for breakfast probably. "Here, you can put it over here." She offered, clearing a spot and stepping back to make room.

He just smirked at her as he opened the door and wheeled the cart inside looking more than a little delighted with the sheer amount of food on display. He looked over to where Lenaele pointed out and pushed the cart over before reaching over and pulling Lenalee over. "Lets get some food in us then~ Going to need that energy after all."

Lenalee giggled, closing the door behind him, "Yes, that's true." And who knows when he last ate, let alone herself. She started to follow after him, only to yerp softly when he pulled her over. She grinned, nuzzling against his neck, "So.. where do you want me to sit?" She asked innocently. Of the three options - next to, across from, and on - she had a pretty good idea of which one he'd pick.

Allen smiled warmly and pulled her over to the bed and he pulled her right on top of his lap where she naturally expected to be. "This looks like the best seat to me. Wouldn't you agree?" Allen purred as before he nuzzled to her chin.

Just where she had expected, yep. So she was thrilled when he just tugged her over to the bed and into his lap. She curled an arm around him, purring softly at the nuzzling as she nuzzled his temple in turn. "Definitely," she agreed, "..it might make eating a little tricky but I think we can manage," she smiled.

It's not like we're in a hurry to be anywhere. So taking our time working around it is more than acceptable." Letting her out of his lap however was not and he reached for a smaller dish to bring it up in front of Lenalee.

Lenalee smiled, taking the dish in hand, "That's true." She admitted, leaning a little more against him. She'd be scolded if she ended up feeding him everything, so she took the first bite before piercing a generous helping on a fork for him to eat. It wasn't her cooking, or gourmet but at least it was good. Added bonus of being fed by her, of course.

Yes she would indeed since Allen wanted the treat of feeding her as well just to see that delighted smile and adorably puffed up cheeks she sometimes got whenever she ate something she really enjoyed. So he leaned forward whenshe presented the fork to him and chomped on the morsel.

Just like Lenalee adored watching him eating something he really enjoyed. At least when it was the two of them anyway. "Is it good?" She asked, leaning her head against his while he ate his morsel, placing the fork down on the plate again so she could curl her arms around him.

Mmmmmm decent enough. IT doesn't compare to your cooking or Jerry's but having you hand it to me makes it passable." Allen pointed out with a sagely nod before reaching over to offer Lenalee her next morsel as well since she was busy nuzzling against him.
