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.

"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?

A low delighted hum spilled form his lips and he tucked her in against his side a little closer with one arm while he nuzzled back at her for a moment before she pulled away again.

"I....honestly haven't thought of any way just yet so it's a work in progress." Heaven's knew they were not gonna see the man any time soon anyway so he had the time to come up with SOMETHING.

Lenalee relaxed against his side easily, sighing dreamily in response to the nuzzles. It was always hard to pull away from him, but they both needed food. Actually, food and drink, and she shifted a little to scoot closer to him, taking a glass of juice to drink from for a bit. "Hrmmm, maybe a coffee garden?" She teased jokingly.

Of course to have a garden, you need a house..

They did so Allen focused on that a bit but not pulling too far away from Lenalee. Since she was so comfortable around him right now.

"Hmmmm tha tcould work. Though we'd need a lot of space to even start making it up to him."

Lenalee hummed as she nibbled a bit on the pancake she'd picked apart, "Well .. I suppose a three person residence would be big enough...?" She ventured hesitantly, giving him a look out of the corner of her eye. There definitely would have to be ground rules if her brother lived with them though. Like.. no rampaging Komuibots for starters.

"Hmmm yeah that could work." Though goddensss it would make it a little more dificult for the two of them to get intimate with each other. If every moment of desire that Allen showed would cause a new Komurin to be born.

Hmmm, that was true. Maybe they would have to have a second little farmhouse like the one she and Komui lived in before they joined the Order, just for him.. so she and Allen could have their privacy. As much as her brother would want her to be happy it'd probably be too much to expect him to resist the urge to make a Komurin to harass poor Allen. "Well," Lenalee set her plate down so she could drape herself against Allen - careful not to interrupt his munchies - "That's for our future to sort out."

It was no doubt something they would have to sort out. Eventually. Right now both of them could get as handsy and bold as they pleased with one another. As soon as they finished eating anyway which Allen decided ot fully throw himself into now sinec he wanted his Lenalee time dammit and he wanted it now.

"Of course~ It's something to look forward to even~"

Lenalee giggled as Allen started going all in on his food, whereas she'd finished hers alreaady. Instead she leaned against Allen and curled her arms gently around him, "Heheee, don't choke on your food Allen!" She teased. Or maybe he wanted her to give him CPR if he did choke? That sneaky fellow.

Darn! She was onto his nefarious scheme! Well not really but Allen would definitely try to pretend if she called him out on it to begin with.

"I wmownt. It's too good to choke." Allen said, mouth still full of food as if to stock up on energy and satmina for the rest of the day.

Lenalee scooted back on the bed to lean against the wall as she watched him chow down, a bemused smile on her lips, "As quickly as you're eating, I was wondering if you were tasting it still," she laughed playfully, "But you're right, the food is quite good." .. Pout. "Better than mine?" You can just -see- the innocent halo over her head.

"Do you even need to ask? Of course it's not better than yours. Few things in this world could be better than your cooking." Allen insisted after he swallowed his last big bite. After all Lenalee had to know how deep his bias ran when it came to cooking from Lenalee.

Lenalee grinned, "I hoped you'd say that. Otherwise I'd have to work even harder to cook well for you.. when we get to do cooking anyway." As he swallowed the last big bite, she reached over to tug him down onto the bed with her, wrapping her arms around him, "All full?" She murmured, nuzzling close to him.

"All full and ready to go anywhere if it's with you, yes~" Allen answered as he was pulled on top of Lenalee and he in turn caged her against the bed all over again.

Lenalee smiled up at him, hugging him close as he caged her in place. As if she would ever want to be anywhere else. "Today's our last day on the train, right?" They'll have to make their way to an inn, or camp out from there? Or her days could be running together, and they still had plenty more days on the train. Poor passengers. "either way, you have to wait an hour before any strenuous activity." she teased playfully, nuzzling her lips against his.

That's right. UNless there are any unexpected delays." Allen nodded while he slowly ghosted his lips along Lenalee's own lips and neck since by the heavens was he having a hard time keeping his hands and body to himself right now.

"Oh you think so?" He smirked as he pulled back to look Lenalee in the eyes.

Lenalee uttered soft humms at that faint touch of his lips along her skin, her fingers trailing gently over his neck, a coy smile teasing across her lips, "Hmmm, maybe.. if you don't agree you'll have to convince me~" She giggled. Naturally she didn't really mean for him to wait an hour, but it was all part of the fun - and his reactions were so entertaining how could she not?

"Oh I was intending to make it a very compelling sell for you regardless~" Allen chuckled as he pressed down on top of her more heavily with his hands idly running along Lenalee's thighs and hips while he lavished her neck with feather light kisses.
