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.

When she came back to her senses, she had yet to get her breath back - but the first thing she could recall was feeling him cuddling her in his arms. And that was such a wonderful sensation to come back to.

Immediately she curled her arms around him to nuzzle against his chest, "H-haah, you. . . you only get more incredible th the more we're together like this." She chuckled, "I love you so, so much, Allen..~"

"Honestly you're the one who makes me incredible. WIthout you I wouldn't be like this." He'd be a shell of a man really. Like he had kind of been until she caught up and forced her way back to his side.

"And I love you. More than I can possibly handle~ My beloved Lenalee."

Lenalee gently brushed her fingers against his cheek, nuzzling gainst him. Briefly she had wondered if she was doing the right thing, forcing herself back into his life the way she had - but how happy he was with her, seering her determination to walk the same path with him, she could only say it was the only choice she could ever have. Leaving and just waiting for him was no choice at all. She would have kicked herself for the rest of her life. "I'm just glad I was able to reach you in time." He could have slipped through her fingers if she hadn't caught up with him. "Haha, you saying that.. I could go for days without food or water just to hear you say that once, my beloved Allen."

Honestly it was still likely going to be very dangerous but pointing that out now would just be rude so instead he just nuzzled against Lenalee's neck, just basking in the warmth and presence that could soothe him down to his very soul.

"I know you mean that genuinely but I have no intention of forcing you to go that far." Allen reassured Lenalee before giving her a light squeeze around her waist.

Lenalee giggled, "I know you wouldn't. Not without a very good reason." She shifted to curl her arm over him and gently comb her fingers through his hair. "It still amazes me that I was able to 'catch' someone as wonderful as you." She laughed, "I never thought we'd be like... this.. when we first met." NOt at first at least. "Or that you'd make me so greedy and .. clingy." But he didn't mind her being clingy right? Not when it was him she wanted to cling to?

"A VERY good reason yes." Allen changed his hold around her a little as he nuzzled into her touch just loving every moment of tenderness in the afterglow.

"While I didn't imagine we'd end up THIS intimate, I do know I was smitten with you the moment I laid eyes on you~"

She blushed at that, marveling at him from head to toe, "Mmmh, I feel like I learn something new about you every time. Do you think there will ever be a time when we know everything there is to know about each other?" She hoped not - she loved making new discoveries, and she'd never be bored with identifying things that she might have even seen before. It was just twice as important to her then. Or three times. "Ohh~, is that why you were so persistent, even when Komui was always sending his robots after you?" She teased affectionately.

"Not likely since I still have a lot of developing to go through." Allen shook his head since he shared that desire to never stop discovering things about Lenalee as well. So naturally he was going to do his best to keep some mystery about himself.

"I mean I would say the prize was worth the pain, wouldn't you?" he asked with a cheeky smile tugging at his lips.

Lenalee giggled, leaning up to sneak a cheeky kiss of her own. His fault, that cheeky smile totally invited it~! "Hmmm, but it would have been better to have the prize without the pain, I think." She teased, running her fingers through his hair slightly, "Although I suppose you would have been happier to 'earn' me that way than to have me without any effort, right?" Was it effort when it was just him being his usual self that won her over?

He would keep inviting more then since he did enjoy having Lenalee be this affectionate and shameless with him.

"That would be true if I did anything to go out of my way to win your love. You made it so easy." Allen answered back with a soft smile as he tucked some of her soft hair behind her ear before going in for a soft slow kiss.

She grinned lightly, her fingers curling against his cheek as her lips curled into a smile, "Mm, I was going to say the same about you, my darling," she purred, leaning against him to meet him halfway in the kiss, her hand smoothing down along his back contentedly.

"I had a feeling you would~" Allen purred back before nuzzling into the kiss with a content smile on his lips while his arms wrapped around her more firmly to keep Lenalee down there with him.

Lenalee hummed softly into the kiss, though she couldn't help but giggle a little at how tightly he held her. Debating for a moment herself, she broke the kiss for a second when she needed to breath, though refused to give up any space. "Hmmm, I really .. don't have any words for how amazing you make me feel. Only that I never want to let go of you." And not in the 'i don't want you to sneak off on me again' sense, but the pure, adoring, 'must cling to this wonderful person' sense.

"Then don't~ For as long as you'll have me." Which in other words was forever. Not that Allen felt hte need to elaborate that so he left it at that as he peppered kisses all along her jaw and neck while relishing in the feeling of her body relaxing on top of him.

Lenalee muffled a soft chuckle at that, knowing full well he meant for the rest of their lives together - and then some. Though it was hard to actually say anything with his love 'attack'. In fact she was going to end up spending all her time talking when she could be returning the favor! She nuzzled against him in response, returning those little kisses, before nipping his ear lightly and murmuring a soft whisper of, "Mm, its going to be your turn soon~"

"Oh? My turn you say~?" Allen purrs as he feels like melting under that sultry whisper that flowed into his ear and spread that warm feeling all over his body, arching up to press more of himself against his beloved since nothing was close enough for either of them.

Lenalee grinned at that purr, nuzzling his neck, "Mmh, yes~. Since you're always so considerate to let me get my breath.." And the both of them were often ready for a second round by the time she had her second wind. "Although maybe we should shift positions this time..?" She totally wasn't planning on caging him against her body the way he did her - nope, no sir.

Maybe a little.

Okay she absolutely planned on giving him the same 'capture' treatment. Besides, she didn't think they would want to keep the same position all the time, right?

"Ohhh? So what position did you have in mind then~? Show me." He absolutely would not mind being caged by Lenalee's body. It was just a matter of how. Because she could easily make him move as she pleased. This was the kind of blissful delight that Allen hd grown so addicted to after all.

Lenalee thought for a few seconds - unfortunately their options were a bit limited being in a train car, so any more adventurous idea would have to wait till they switched locales to an inn or... or even camping somewhere out in the wilderness *gasp* how scandalous. "Show you?" She echoed, before grinning, "Okay then." A real bonus would be her suggesting to Allen to help her slowly get used to the idea of being actually tied down by him, but that ... was definitely something she was not yet ready for. But in the future, perhaps. She still shied away from the thought, for obvious reason.

Nonetheless, she shifted to wrap her arms around him and reverse their position so that he was on top this time, her mischievous smile coming into play as she immediately slid her arms close around his back, while her legs moved to wrap around him in turn, to keep him close to her, "Something like this, then..?" The tips of her fingers just pressed lightly against his back, "Are you ready for your new marks, honey~?" she purred, teasing her fingers along a line up his spine.

UNtil she got used to it, she could always tie Allen down instead and have her way with his helpless form. Oh the things she could do and bring out of him if she did that.

He follows her lead and rolls over on top of Lenalee looking down at that cheeky smile she flashed his way. The threat of new marks making his body shudder against hers as he leaned over to kiss her passionately for a brief moment.

"You know that the answer to that will always be yes if you ask it~"

Oddly that was never something that occurred to her. Yet. "You're spoiling me," she murmured with a purr once he pulled away from the kiss - though she didn't let him lean away too far, "I want you close," she added in explanation, her fingers already moving along his back to trace a slow pattern in circles before drawing lines with her nails as she pondered if she would be capable for a third round without needing to nap for a short bit. Well that would probably depend on how wild they got this way as well. "Isn't there anything you would say no, to?"

If she didn't think of it soon, he'd probably end up proposing it to her instead. Still he pulls in close since she asked for him and just slowly trades kiss after kiss while his hips lightly rolled against her.

"Coming from you? No there isn't~ YOu should know that by now~"

Given her feelings about being bound though, she wasn't sure if Allen would want that for himself. Although it was true, she could always ask - he was always open to her about what he wanted, whereas she never had been particularly clear about the things she wanted - besides him that is. Though 'i want you every which way' was a rather broad category.

She uttered a slow purr in between kisses, her leg slowly rubbing against his as her fingers deftly, lightly massaged over his skin at first. "Mmmh, so you'd say yes.. no matter what I suggested, or asked .. while we're like this?" maybe she will make a few suggestions after all!

If it was her doing it, he would gladly accept it. Being powerless under her like that would be too exciting to properly convey with words.

"I would~ Because it's you who would be doing it. That's just how much I trust you, Lenalee. It's a given I would agree to anything, isn't it~?"

"Allen.." She, for a few seconds, couldn't say anything at that - just stare so adoringly at how easily such words came in such a genuine response. Closing her arms around him, she pulled him against herself tightly before kissing him. Her words came in a soft purr against his lips, "... it's because you say things like that, that I'll never stop wanting you~" she purred softly. In all fairness it's because he existed, really, but the way he said those things so genuinely definitely helped.
