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.

I know I'm not~ After all just as you know me best, I think I can definitely lay claim to knowing you just as well~" Allen retorted with a big grin before sneaking in another kiss from her lips and trailing it up to her hand.

Lenalee let out a long sigh of pure contentment, watching him with an adoring smile, "I've laid myself bare to you in every possible meaning of the word," she teased gently, "I'd be surprised if you didn't know me so well. I have no secrets from you, my love."

Really now. She had gotten far too good at this kind of bantering. He laughed softly before running his lips against hers for a soft moment. "I love it when you are so cocky, my love~"

Lenalee giggled, nuzzling against him, "Well, you made me that way, you know." she hummed against his lips, gently tracing her tongue over his lower lip lightly in that moment, "And I can't get enough of lying in your arms like this." she murmured softly.

"Did I really? Or was the potential always there locked away within you~" Allen purred, his smile translating into the kiss with ease before he just couldn't hold himself back anymore from tasting thsoe sweet lips.

"Well they are always going to be here for your personal use~"

Neither of them could go for too long without looking to claim a closer connection, with touches or hugs and kisses - especially when they were already cuddling in each other's arms. Lenalee was relaxing even more, enough that an answering smile came in response to that kiss, and she chuckled, pressing her lips lightly against his in a feathery, gentle kiss of her own, "Mmmhh.... maybe." She conceded, head pillowed against his shoulder. "You've always seen more potential in me than even I thought I had."

"Aren't you the same when it comes to me?" Allen's views of himself were quite harsh to say the least and yet Lenalee kept insisting that he deserved so much more. It was another aspect they had in common. Allen nuzzled gently behind her ear before relaxing some more against Lenalee.

"I just can't help loving you more and more."

She'd be in trouble when he did finally understand that he did deserve everything Lenalee said he deserved and more. Well not 'trouble' so much as he wouldn't second guess her, she hoped. But that was for later - right now she was beyond ecstatic snuggling with him. "..haha, I suppose it's true." She admitted, before pressing close to him as he relaxed more against her. She reached up and gently stroked her fingers over his hair, "Good.. I can't be thhe only one, after all."

I don't think you ever were at any real risk of that, my lovely Lenalee~" Allen all but purred as he felt those lovely fingers comb through his hair and beckoning to him to kiss her yet again while slowly tracing her exquisite and priceless figure with his fingertips.

Lenalee let out a soft, unexpected squeak in response, and she giggled softly, "You really make it hard to even think about getting out of bed, you know.." Fortunately they don't have to go anywhere for hours yet still. Although she might want to take a quick shower just to freshen up a little. The thought was put at the back of her head, running a hand through his hair gently.

"Why would you want to do that when you have the choice not to?" Allen asked as if it was the most absurd notion to even consider. Allen was certainly not in any hurry to return to the grim reality of his current life on the run.

Lenalee wasn't either, honestly. But that's not why she would have thought about getting out of bed anyway. "Welll... I might want to take a shower at some point.." She suggested.. no sir there was no suggestion in her voice at all there. Just genuinely wanted a shower soonish. Just for the dreamy thought of sitting in front of hte fire wrapped up in a towel with him brushing her hair until it was dry. ..wellmaybe not JUSt that.

That seemed to get quite the reaction out of him. So much so he actually hugged her closer to his chest before purring against her ear. "Only if I get to join you." He naturally remmebered her mentioning showers in one of her fantasies she confessed to so the chance to make that real for her was reason alone to offer.

Lenalee oof'd softly when he pulled her closer, nuzzling under his ear gently with a soft smile, "Of course... I ..I hoped you would say that." She admitted a little sheepishly, having worried he might have forgotten that little detail. "And you'll brush my hair afterwards, right?"

Oh even sheepish Lenalee was so impossible to resist. So he smiled back before pressing kiss after kiss to her neck only to pull back around to gaze into those precious eyes.

"I would love nothing more~"

Lenalee shivered at those kisses, leaning into him with each one until he drew back to meet her gaze. She smiled even more brilliantly, a small blush on her cheeks at his agreement, and she nodded with a light, pleased smile. "In a little bit though," she pulled him close again, sealing his lips with hers for a happy, tender kiss, "I just want to lie in your arms a little bit longer before that." Just cuddling against hiim whilst her fingers gently traced over all of the marks and scratches she gave him.

"Oh just for a little bit?" ALlen huffed in mock disappointment. Allen would hold her until the sun rose and then set once again if she wanted him to. But now he was just being cheeky while showering Lenalee in all of the love in Allen's heart and body.

She huffed playfully, puffing her cheeks at him before she nuzzled her nose to his, "Honey, you're so greedy. I can't take a shower if I'm in your arms the entire time right? Unless you know of some magical way that I can take a shower without getting out of bed." She teased, nuzzling close to him happily.

"Mmmmmmm you have a point I suppose" He said with a long suffering sigh as if the entire endeavor was such a huge compromise on his part. Still it was mostly theatrics and instead he nuzzled against her cheek for a moment.

Oh she knew it was theatrics, and she laughed softly in response. "S..still I feel like I'm going to be all pruney when we get out of the shower. Since... we'll probably be ..distracted." A bit of a mischievous glint flickered in her eyes briefly, and she quickly reached up to tug a lock of his hair to distract him from potentially asking questions about her wicked plans.

That was a very effective distraction as those eyes followed her hand and the strand of hair with such scorching intensity. SHe had that much sway over his mind and his heart. A power that Lenalee would forever hoard over him.

"I'll massage you afterwards." She'd stop being pruney by then surely.

Ooooh, massage... that might also be distracting, but.. worry about that later. "Haha, you really will be spoiling me, if you're going to brush my hair for me, and give me a massage. how do I get to spoil you in return?" ONE MUST WONDER.

"Am I not supposed to spoil the one and only love of my life?" Allen asked as he basked in her attention and love with no shame whatsoever.

Lenalee blushed, and smiled again, nuzzling him close, "I would never keep you from doing something like that. But if you're doing all the spoiling, I won't be able to do the same for you." Or more like, she was going to have to ambush spoil him.

"You spoil me every waking moment just by being my love and by my side." Allen pointed out as if this truth was universal and impossible to even put into question. That was exactly the truth to Allen as he gazed at the lovely girl with a fondness unmistakable for anything else.
