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 chuckled sleepily, nuzzling his neck as she got more and more cozy and warm, her breathing evening out, "Hmhm, then I guess you'll be always tempted..because I'll never say no." Lenalee promised. Balk a bit and delay maybe, from embarrassment, but say no? Never. She gave him a brief kiss before settling down, "Heeehee, darling Allen.. you'll always have me where you want me." she murmured cheekily, "Always."

"I think you underestimate how literally I am willing to take those sweet words~" Allen purred after the kiss but otherwise settled in with Lenalee safely tucked away in his arms as he felt himself grow more and more relaxed.

Lenalee chuckled softly, curling her arms around him more as he started to relax and settle down. Seeing him settle into a sleepy state was helping her get cozy enough for sleep too - she might still ambush him if she woke before him though. .. no, not 'might', she absolutely would, because seeing that sweet sleeping Allen face was too tempting to cover with kisses. "Hmhm, maybe," she smiled, "I'll just have to keep an eye out for you now?" She didn't have much to worry about if they were around other people at least, but the moment they were in private? She wouldn't be a bit surprised if either of them tried to surprise eac other.

"Have to is a strong word~ Look forward to feels much more fitting don't you think?" He murmured only meeting her gaze with his eyes as he tugged her closer still to his chest the two of them quickly sinking into that comforting aura that often enveloped them at the end of a day together.

She giggled softly, nuzzling against him cozily and letting out a soft sigh. "..much more fitting." She corrected herself, only partially aware of just what it was she was supposed to be looking forward to. Allen made her lose track of her thoughts so effectively - it as only when a small yawn ninja'd up on her that she remembered it had been her idea to get some sleep in the first place. BOOoooh. She smiled, "Just like I look forward to seeing your handsome face first thing in the morning." She murmured softly.

"Then we should sleep so you get to see your most favorite thing sooner~" Allen chuckled playfully but was already feeling himself just drift off into sleep with Lenalee, his arms securely holding her against his chest as if she woudl float away if he didn't make sure.

Lenalee giggled, nuzzling her nose against his briefly. As much as they needed to sleep after wearing each other out (more Lenalee than him) all day, she always felt like the moment she closed her eyes she'd wake up and find out everything was just a dream. But feeling him hold her as close as he was certainly helped anchor her into the reality that she was, now and forever, at his side. "Allright." She pretended to pout, stealing one last peck of his lips, "..there, now you can have sweet dreams." she teased. "Good night Allen. See you in the morning." She purred softly before tucking in more comfortably against him for their rest.

"look forward to it~" Allen promised with a peck back to prove he was serious before tucking himself around Lenalee and slipping into a deep slumber. His dreams were only sweet when he held Lenalee after all. More than she'd likely realize.

Lenalee chuckled softly, sleepily at the promise and follow up kiss. She nuzzled close to him, a smile planted on her face feeling him holding her close, with the way he was tucking around her. Purring softly, she closed her, drifting off to sleep quicker than she originally planned. She even felt like she slept longer than she meant to, but she was lazy about waking up, watching him even as she started to wake some few hours later.

Allen was in no real hury to wake either since having Lenalee there in his arms was all he ever needed. This was the kind of heaven they could only find in short and rare bursts while on the run from...pretty much everyone. Still the lovei n his heart for hte girl that had tracked him down only seemed to grow more and more intense with each passing day.

Honestly, being that the train had yet to reach its final destination, Lenalee was in no hurry to wake Allen either. He could probably use the extra rest -- though she needed it more than he did, taking stock of some mild ache in her body when they got a little...ahem... enthusisatic. But it was by no means anything to get in the way of her moving around.

Still somewhat sleepy, she carefully moved an arm, trying to move as quietly and slowly as she could, to avoid waking her beloved as she re-tucked the blankets around them and let out a soft sigh, her arm settling back over him - though instead of simply holding him this time, she gently brushed her fingers through his hair, a fond smile on her lips. Romance had never been a thing she thought she would have the luxury of having for anyone and here Allen smashed through every last one of her defenses just by being himself to the point where he was absolutely vital to her well being.

Alllen only barely reacted to her movement, instinctively pulling her closer to his chest as his legs tangled together with her own, rubing up against the bangles around her ankles in the process.

"Mmmmmm~...Hm?" He mumbled before his eyes slowly began to open.

Awww, he was waking up. Well she couldn't watch him forever - as much as she would love to. Once everything was settled though..

She smiled more warmly at the murmured from her beloved, and she shifted a little to snuggle closer to him, pressing her lips against his tenderly for his wake up 'treat', "Hmmm... good morning darling.." she murmured softly, as if she might break the peaceful air of the morning if she spoke too loudly.

Allen stretched a bit before tuggnig Lenalee more snugly against his chest while he tried to meet her gaze and not just melt with the overfloiwing love in his mind and body.

"Good morning to you too, my love~"

Lenalee felt her cheeks warm, watching him fondly as she curled her arms around him more snugly. "I'm never going to stop being happy hearing those words." she sighed blissfully, "Did you sleep well?" As well as she did, she'd bet, though she was determined to ignore the slight stiffness from sleeping in one position snuggled against him all night. WORTH IT.

"Every night I get to sleep wiht you in my arms leads to the best sleep I have ever had." Allen answwered with a cheeky grin despite how cheesy his answere turned out to be. His hands idly playing along her back while he nuzzled against her

She chuckled softly, "You haven't lost your silver tongue any, that's for sure," she teased, before letting out a soft hum. "You make me want to spend all day in bed with you, just like this." Just enjoying a quiet conversation, mutual tease flirting, snuggling and so forth~

Although he hadn't had much to eat yesterday since they were so ...erm.. distracted, and goodness knows she hadn't either. they both must be starving. Well, doubly starving.

"I don't think you'd ever want me to lose that~" Allen purred softly since she was being playful and content at the same time. So much so he just couldn't help but curl up around her even more.

"Mmmm so what did you have in mind today~?"

"Allennnn." Lenalee groaned faintly, with a mock pout when he had the audacity to get more cozy. Thereby making her want to move even less. She muffled a soft giggle, absently drawing circles on his back with her finger, "Maybe.. something to eat?" She suggested a bit meekly. "I'm actually famished." She burned so many calories!

"That...actaully doesn't sound half bad. To think you'd make me think of food second only to yourself." Allen chuckled shamelessly before claiming another kiss from Lenalee's lips but then moving to let her up from him but never completely out of reach as he admired Lenalee in all her radiant if still a little drowsy glory.

Lenalee blushed at that - knowing his appetite for food -- and for her -- it was high praise to know he would rate her first. And ..maybe not that surprising. She'd do the same for him. She chuckled softly, nuzzling against him affectionately after he so shamelessly stole another kiss, and pulled back, "Heehee.. do you have to stare like that," she teased playfully, "It's really distracting~" She yawned a bit before unconsciously giving an unfairly lazy stretch, and letting out a long sigh. To think she used to get up so early and here she never wanted to budge if he was sleeping.

It was still something of an understatement of her relevance and importance in his heart. Allen gently reached up to rub his thumb over her cheek and peering into that precious face with a loving smile.

"I do. Because seeing you smile recharges me like nothing else~" Though seeing her stretch like that while on top of him only made him distracted even more.

Lenalee tilted her head at him, smiling softly as she felt her heart beating quicker just at the look on his face. Oh he just made her melt all over again. "Hmhm, you say that, but I think food and sleep recharge you a little better than just my smile," she murmured, nuzzlin his cheek. Before giving a -SIGH-. ".. but I really will get up now, or... aah... we're going to miss breakfast. Again." She added a little sheepisly, before she climbed off of him slowly, if a bit reluctantly.

Allen watched her from behind for a moment before he also got up from the bed, almost reflexively reaching around to grab her from around the waist and pull her against him. "Wonder what they'll have on the menu today."

That's what she gets for turning her back to him. Just as she was about to 'get free', she felt his arm wrap around her and pull her back, causing her to burst out laughing, "Allen!" She let herself relax against him, bemusedly, "Probably the standard faire, but not something with as much variety as we'd find at an inn or ..." The Order. She paused for a second, then mentally shook her head an smiled at him, "We won't know until we go. Aren't you hungry?" He had to be hungry, he always had a huge appetite! She rested her arms over his, absolutely not doing anything to help prevent him from stealing more cuddles.
