Time Flies When You Are Having Fun...(D.Gray-man x Reader)

Chapter 27 - The Order and Decision

Author's Note: Hello everyone!! You know me, love to take forever to produce the next chapter. But here we are, we have finally come to the cross roads. I know we didn't get all of the characters yet and that is because there will be a choice at this juncture, another choice, and then the final romantic choices at the end. Hope you guys enjoy!

We walk through the gate with no problems other than the original harassment for Allen's star scar. Continuing on we go to the first telecommunications that we could find and notify everyone of our safety while also informing people of my presence. The alibi we agreed on was that I showed extreme prowess during the fight in Japan and was recruited immediately by the Bookman. During this I felt relieved that I could have a semblance of peace without fear of being found out. How could they possibly know? I had no outwardly markings or signs that I held a Noah inside me.  Those only revealed when Chronea took over anyway, so I had nothing to worry about. The first thing on my mind was getting food, and then some rest. As a group we all agreed to migrate together to the cafeteria, and then to our separate rooms for some rest. This surprising included Kanda but it was a welcomed surprise nonetheless. I decided on my favorite food and dessert as I wanted to treat myself for the tiring trip on the Ark.  As I was served by the lovely and enthusiastic chef, I thought about all that has happened so far. It's been so hectic I haven't really come to terms with everything. I think a 'me' day might be in 'order'. I giggle lightly and grab my tray and move over to one of the many open tables in the cafeteria. I get swiftly nudged in the ribs and I look up to meet the stare of bright emerald eyes.

"What's got you snickering over there?" Lavi asks while looking down at me with a playful smile. I roll my eyes and shake my head before sitting down.

"Just made myself laugh, the real question should be, where is everyone?" I answer while looking around the vacant room. Lavi slides down next to me whilst setting his tray down. He quickly shrugs his shoulders before responding in a hushed tone.

"I mean, you did teleport us back, everyone else doesn't have the ____ express, they get stuck with the boat ride and train." As he explains I quickly become red in the face as I realize how silly of a question that is. I quickly retort back,

"Well I might have that convenience, but how about that big old brain of yours, I would love to be able to remember everything. I was known to be quite the scatter brain back... home." The longer I talked the more I thought about all that I left behind. Regardless of whether I meant to come here or not, I only wanted a vacation. I never wanted to leave everyone behind. My friends and family, albeit they are sometimes one in the same, are in a place I might not ever be able to reach again. Chronea talked about regaining her powers, but that could take a while. The longer I'm here, the less these people become characters, and they more or less will become my new friends and family. I couldn't bare to leave them either.  I've already fucked up the timeline more than I could say, and I can't fix it. We could. What do you mean? Reverse time, go back to before you arrived, and then go home. They won't remember, they won't have met you, and the story will continue how the book was written. You can go home and pretend you never even left. But what about you? I never thought I would get to see any of my family again, just being able to see Adam and talk to him again is enough for me. But, I can't rip you away from them just after you reunited... But I did that to you didn't I? I ripped you away from your dimension selfishly to be with mine. Ugh... this is too much... I-

"____!!" Lavi has tightly gripped my shoulders and is shaking me back and forth at this point. I blink and find tears pouring from my eyes and down my face. I stand up abruptly and back up, shaking Lavi's hands from my shoulders.

"I uh, need to go sleep now." I state with a shaky voice before walking briskly out of the cafeteria. Footfalls following closely behind. I dare not look back, knowing if I see who ever it is, my will for solitude will crumble. My mind pushes me forward to a door and my heart and mind become one. Take me somewhere safe. I throw open the door and am greeted with a familiar order bedroom. Did my powers not work? I turn around to see a glimmer in the door way indicating a portal showing it had worked. Before I'm able to turn back around towards the interior of the room, Allen bursts through the door and collides into me tumbling both of us to the ground. The door shuts from the residual momentum and Allen and I are left face to face. Blush quickly rises to both of our faces before he scrambles off of me.

"ahh, sorry ____. I was worried when you stood up so suddenly so I bolted after you." He scratches his head whilst explaining. He glances around before realizing we had teleported to his room. "Why did you come here?" More blush rises to his face before he tilts his head slightly short circuiting.

"I don't know, I just asked to be brought somewhere safe, this is what I subconsciously though of first." I look down, fingers digging slightly into my legs. The residual tears begin to form and roll down my face once more. Quickly Allen jumps up and without hesitation pulls me into an embrace.

"I don't know what happened, but I'm glad you can think of being near me as safe. I will do my best to be there for you." His words only made me cry more. I don't want to leave. I want to stay here, but I miss my family so much. What do I do. You choose. From here on out, you need to make a decision. No more bouncing in between.

"I..."
