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.

That quick peck quickly ruined her attempt to pout at him for her own cheekiness, and she resumed her place leaning against his side, "Did you get any ice cream to go with it?" Trying not to sound TOO hopeful, but a little cake with ice cream sounded divine, to her. She'd give him the puppy eyes if he hadn't ordered it yet too. But only jokingly - she didn't want to make him spend more money on her, and he already had to spend a lot for his own food.

Leaning was fine as long as her hands stayed where he could see them. Since she was being more cooperative now he leaned back and lightly ran his hand over hers before squeezing gently.

"Oh I've already had that covered, my lovely miss Walker~" He purred before placing a peck on her cheek. Honestly compared to how much he spent on food to begin with, her portion was a mere eye drop sided drop in the bucket for Allen's budget.

"I knew you would." Lenalee beamed at him. She left her hands folded neatly against the counter, though when he sneaked in another kiss, she giggled, raising a hand to tap his lips, "Careful.." she warned playfully. He'd end up making it difficult for her to resist behaving! Though she was somewhat relieved, settling into just nuzzling her cheek against his arm affectionately as the frazzled staffer started emerging with plate after plate after plate after plate...after plate...after plate... fo them to load onto the cart.

He loved making it hard for her since it was even more proof of how much she wanted him all the time. He cuddled up around Lenalee for a good long while after that before the dishes started coming out and the cart grew heavier and heavier with the loaded food.

"Mmmm smells so good~"

And here she thought she'd have to apologize for being a little naughty. Well she'll still apologize when they get back to their room because this is Lenalee we're talking about.

Lenalee felt terrible about wanting to giggle at the look on the poor server's face when they finally loaded the creaky cart with the last of the plates. he even gave them a worried, "Would you like help bringing that back?" as if he hoped they would say no.

Which fortunately, is exactly what Lenalee said. "I think my-" she paused, glanced at Allen with a mischievous little smile, and then glanced back to the server. Someone's going to be a little bold again! "..my fiancee and I can manage."

She nuzzled against Allen's arm, glancing up at him - better get used to the sound now, right? "Right, honey?"

OH BOY, if ever anyone identified these two and overheard -that- remark though, and it got back to the Order, Komui would probably come running and not anyone would be able to stop him. In fact, hundreds of miles away, her busybee brother (who's probably been getting occasional murderous vibes at the same time Lenalee and Allen were cozy together) undoubtedly had a sudden spike in the urge to make another of his creations the moment he had free time. If he wasn't worried about it being followed, he'd send it out to go find Lenalee!

... he still might. Then Allen would have to deal with Brotherbot 2.0 in portable form getting in the way~! Onoes!

He'd rather not think of any robots bursting down their walls and causing havoc. Especially when he had more time to spend wiht Lenalee either cuddling or getting more frisky than before wiht one another. But the word...fiance keeps playing in his head as a smile slowly claims his lips.

"Of course of course! Anyway we should be on our way." Before someone throws something at them to get Allen and Lenalee to go back to their room and stop making other coup;les look like their love was lacking.

The fact that he smiled so easily at hearing her refer to him as her fiancee brought an answering little smile on Lenalee's lips in turn - "I'll push from behind then." She offered, reluctantly letting go of him and moving over to the back of the card, to help push it along. Although with Allen's strength her assistance was probably not even needed. "Thanks for your help," she chirped at the poor staffer who looked beyond stressed and exhausted. She gave the cart a strong push to scurry along behind Allen with it.

Allen didn't really need the help but doing anything together with Lenalee just felt more doing than if he did it on his own. So naturally he didn't speak up to sop her from doing that.

"Aaaand here we are. I'll get the door for us."

"Perfect, thank you honey~" Lenalee chirped, giving a big heave to the cart to push it into the room past Allen, wheeling it carefully over by the little table. Though there was a moment she considered setting it by the bed instead, but if she did that, it'd be a little too obvious about her intentions wouldn't it? "Here should be fine, right?"

As if she could fool him. BUt for now he would let Lenalee get away with it. Instead he came up behind his lovely better half and nuzzled against the back of her neck while his arms closed around her waist.

"It will do~ SO tell me. What do you want to eat first?"

She didn't even have to think about it, but as soon as he wrapped his arms around her waist and she felt him nuzzling against her neck, her body immediately relaxed against his. She let go of the cart and absently trailed a finger back against his cheek as she pondered the question, "Mmmmh, it all looks to good.." Jerr definitely made the food better though, and that was probably 'home' advanctage. "It's hard to decide.. maybe... hmmm.." Well either it actually was hard to decide or it was hard to concentrate with him snuggled against her like that. Or both. "We could start with the eggs and bacon.. and work our way over." Nice neough that they left them a hot plate to keep the food warm while they were chowing down.

Allen loved the way she just entrused herself to him so completely with just having him touch her tenderly. IT made his heart sing with happiness and love for her. More than ever before. He pushed up against her a little more before leading Lenalee to sit over on the bed with him.

"Lets go with that then~"

Lenalee leaned against him for a moment before she nodded agreeably, "Right. You must be especially hungry." He had a bigger appetite than her~! She padded over to sit on the bed next to him, though she arranged herself so she could tuck against his side, giving him JUST enough room to eat. "Those biscuits look really good too.." Maybe she was going to have a bigger appetite than him - goodness knows they worked up quite the appetite for it.

"In more ways than one~" he said with a husky growl before he followed her over to the bed. A good thing they ordered as much as they did. Because that smouldering glance from Allen promised they would work through another day's worth of appetite as soon as they had their fill of the various dishes he had stocked on top of the cart.

"They do. But I bet you can make them taste even better~"

Lenalee coughed a little, feeling her cheeks warm more. Oh if that growl wasn't bad enough, that look he gave her almost made her weak in the knees. Good thing they'd gotten the whole 'standing' issue taken care of now that they had their food. "You tell me~" she snuggled up against his side and reached over for the first thing in arm's length - a nice, crispy piece of bacon, which she leaned against Allen to feed him.

"Oh you already know. Seeing as you are doing it right at this very moment~" Allen chuckeld before leaning over to take the offered Morsel in his mouth with a delighted if a little overblown moan of delight and contentment. Yes he was going to slowly 'bake' her with those small acts as well.

"Feeding my darling?" Lenalee grinned, leaning over to place a light kiss against a corner of his mouth, "I can't help myself." She reached for another piece of biscuit, only for her hand to stop and almost drop the morsel at ..that.. -sound-.. oh that. ..that was too much wasn't it? Surely it didn't taste THAT good! She suppressed (if only just) a small shiver and cleared her throat, breaking the biscuit in half, "H-here, have some of this before it gets cool." Erhm. Maybe she imagined that noise.

"Precisely~" Allen purred since she was being cheeky enough to kiss him in between. Though his eyes seemed to glint mischievously as he saw the effect he'd just had on Lenalee while simply enjoying the food she was offering.

"Oh? Something wroooo~ng~?" He drawled, another sultry note as his lips closed around the half of biscuit she was offering him.

Lenalee almost dropped her biscuit when she started to eat a little bit herself, shaking her head with a faint blush, "N.. No, of course not." She answered quickly - if she saw that mischievous look in his eyes she'd probably scold him ineffectively for teasing her. Shee cleared her throat, turning her attention to the fluffy (but not nearly as fluffy as hers or Jerry's) pancakes and eggs. Actually, she was finding out she was incredibly hungry - she might eat almost as much as Allen! ... if such a thing was possible.

"H-how is it? The food I mean.."

He was playing wiht fire and he totally knew it. Because once Lenalee was pushed far enough with being flustered, she would flip the tables on top of him in an instant. The thought was exciting and it did nothing to make him behave even as he ate.

"It's pretty good. Even if it doesn't hold a candle to your cooking or Jerry's"

Lenalee was actually considering exactly that, though she managed to keep her self control a little bit longer, pausing to take a drink. He HAD to know how those noises he was making was making her feel~! "Heehee, I'll keep that high praise in mind," she purred, "I love nothing more than being able to feed you and make you happy." A pause, and a mischievous look flickered in her eyes as she picked up a piece of toast to mildly nibble on a corner of it before commenting OH so innocently, "..and it makes me excited knowing I'll be able to do that by your side for the rest of my life."

Of course he knew. It was a calculated decision. Meant to entice and spur her into action. Though he did also half expect her ot turn it back on him with interest and the first move in that directino came in fast and hard indeed as she made his heart skip a beat.

"You just....Honestly I sometimes wonder how I came to win the heart of someone so...wonderful."

Lenalee smiled softly, leaning over towards him, "Because I was meant to be with you." she reasoned, nuzzling her cheek against him, "Remember? It's why I never looked at any other man at the Order as anything other than friend, or family.. until you arrived. And I think that's why Komui started making those Komuibots ..because he knew I loved you the moment I set eyes on you."

"Ahahaha and yet here you are with me now even with those machines of semi mass destruction." Allen smiled softly. Still he was genuinely grateful for having Lenalee by his side through all this. Despite the risks, the longing for her touch and company won out.

"I'll really have to make it up to him next time we see him."

Lenalee leaned over and pressed her lips against his jaw, "Because not even rampaging Komuibots could keep me away from you." She leaned over and swiped a bit of food from the plate as well, to nibble on before leaning back to eat. "Make it up to him? What are you going to do?" Or did he have no idea yet?
