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.

Lenalee giggled, wrapping her arms around him tightly when he pulled her into his arms. "I don't think I'm being particularly adorable," she laughed, "But it's true that I don't want you to do anything but stay in my arms all day." She murmured, pressing a lingering kiss against his neck affectionately.

"If I didn't want to stay in your arms right now I would totally reach for a mirror to let you see how cute you're being." Allen accused cheekily before nuzzling and nipping along Lenalee's neck in return.

Lenalee giggled at the accusation, "If you ever start doing that, then I'll have to start writing down all the ways you're wonderful and my perfect beloved dream of a lover~" she countered, before letting out a faint purr at the return affection, humming his name happily against his ear as she hugged him close.

You just had to one up me didn't you?" Allen asked with an exasperated but loving sigh only to lean over and claim yet another kiss from those soft and precious lips.

Lenalee giggled at the response, purring into the kiss before she trailed her lips along his neck and shoulder gently, "If I don't, you'll be praising me all day and not give me a chance to return the favor." She trailed her lips to the other side of his neck and let her kisses wander up along the line of his chin. Thusly returning the favor of making her so unbelievably happy.

"Hmmmmmm~? Well I'll still try to do just that whenever the chance presents itself so there~" He would compromise only to that extent and no further. After all Lenalee deserved so much happiness that he would need his entire lifetime to present it ot her.

"hooo, so I shouldn't give you the chance then, is what you're saying?" If she wanted to be able to get her counterattacks in at least. She grinned impishly, nuzzling against him, letting the unspoken 'just kidding' hang in the air a bit as she absorbed the loving feeling and touches from her precious Allen.

Allen didn't answer gain that time instead delivering a sneaky and firm nip to the side of her neck where he knew she was weakest. Honestly the two of them were going to have a very hard time keeping their hands to themselves at night at the very least. Yet that was normal wasn't it? For lovers as starcrossed as they were.

Oh yes, it would definitely be a "problem" keeping their hands to themselves like this. But evening was practically meant for their private times anyway, so it was fine. She wouldn't be able to keep herself from holding his hand during the day though, that was for certain. And just when she was feeling smug about her teasing comment, Allen had to go and catch her off guard with that naughty nip, as she let out a surprised gasp, pressing her body against his more, "Aha---Allen..~"

Handholding too? Would there be no limit to their indecency?! Joking aside, Allen felt his mind melt more and more every time he heard Lenalee speak his name like that. Just the very sound of it was enough to get to him and it showed every time.

Handholding IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. Oh the scandal! All the pearl clutching in the world!

She loved seeing how relaxed he was getting. "Hahaha, you look so relaxed," she murmured, nuzzling against his cheek gently, petting a hand over his hair gently. "And you're so warm like this~" Feeling him holding her so tight and snug under the covers. It was heaven.

That is just the kind of spell you can weave over me, my love~" Allen smirked while he pushed up closer still, nuzzling against her neck and cheek while his legs tangled together with hers some more.

She nipped his ear gently, snuggling aginst him as he started nuzzling against her neck, "Mmmh, and this is a spell you can weave over me~" she purred softly, closing her eyes and tucking against him more, her legs absently shifting with his. "Youre just so perfect for me."

"I cannot think of any higher praise I could be blessed with." Allen purred and planted another soft kiss to Lenalee's cheek with his hands finding hers and interlocking fingers with his beloved.

Feeling his hands link with hers, Lenalee let out a soft, giddy laugh, before tilting her head and giving him a sweet peck on her lips. "I know our situation is serious..but I still can't help but look forward to tomorrow. Even if we'll be moving around frequently and worrying about things, I'll be by your side throughout it. I'll always hear your voice, and feel your hand in mine through everything." Instead of imagining it.

"...I have to admit I haven't had any expectations for what comes tomorrow ever since going off on my own. But now...now that you're here." Allen confessed lovingly before raising her hand up to his lips for a gentle kiss as well.

Lenalee smiled faintly, "I should probably be more concerned about what comes.. About the possibility of having to fight friends," let alone other enemies. "But with you by my side, none of that matters." She fell silent for a moment, her expression softening at the kiss. And to think she thought she'd never feel him so close again. She chuckled, tugging her hand away a little, but just so she could nuzzle her lips against his for a series of soft, loving kisses.

He let her hand slip away just so her lips could more easily find their way to his, ALlen purring with soft delight as he slowly curled up around Lenalee even further even though he was the furthest thing from cold right now within their little cozy love cocoon.

Lenalee smiled softly with Allen making it even easier for her to get close to him, and only when he weas cuddled as close as possible did she snuggle closer, "Mmhh, warm enough?" She murmured softly, returning her hand to his so she could squeeze his hand gently. Maybe she should have clarified that to say 'cozy enough' though, because he couldn't possibly be cold with the blankets and her body heat.

I don't think it will ever truly be 'ENOUGH' " Allen chuckled softly while his hand slowly smoothed over Lenalee's side while he nudged his forehead to hers with the faintest but most loving of smiles on his lips.

She smiled softly at the nudge, and pressed a little kiss to his nose and lips briefly, her heartbeat quickening at the sight of that dreamy smile. "Mmhh, I suppose that's true, actually.." She grinned, "I suppose we'll just have to live with it, no?"

"I suppose so. But I can think of worse fates~" Boy could he ever but he'd rather not do that now. Not when he had such a boundless fount of happiness right there ins his arms. Not when she had sacrificed so much to chase after him despite the odds.

"Let's not think about any of those," she protested, nuzzling his cheek. She didn't want to think about what time it might be, because that jmust meant time was advancing - and if time was advancing they'd have to sleep, and then morning would come and ..they'd have to plan things out for their next step. Reality would rear its head.

"I am all for that. I wouldn't want to squander this night on such thoughts anyway. Not when there are far more pleasant things to think and do." Allen said with a meaningful purr as he nuzzled against Lenalee's cheek.

Lenalee laughed at that meaningful purr, "Quite true." She murmured, nuzzling back against him, "We have to make the most of all the time we still have left." She trailed her lips over his neck and nibbled affectionately at the sensitive parts of his neck.
