CHAPTER 5: The Fight

"Its his left torso." And with that amaryllis left to combat the minions of the earl. Something she wasn't glad having once been. "I'll try to come help after I get rid of the Akuma" she called back at the two before she invoked her weapon. "innocence fusion level two!" The Exorcist Akuma yelled and attacked.

Allen no longer heard her and focused on his injured friend in front of him. "why didn't you say you were hurt" the cursed teen asked, not expecting a response and pushed the vest onto the wound he had felt out with his human hand.

However contrary to Allen's beliefs' the badly injured ginger responded. "I didn't want you to worry about me."

Allen paused what he was doing. "b-but we're friends aren't we?"

"We are friends, al." Lavi responds but lets out a groan as more pressure is applied to his wound and the sudden pain takes the train of thought right out of his head.

"But that's what friends do." Allen said as he wrapped a torn part of the vest around lavi. His hand gently brushed again lavi. "we tell each other stuff even if it might hurt them."

Lavi responded to Allen. "but you didn't tell us you were bleeding that one time so it doesn't count, hypocrite."

Allen stopped. He looked hurt. "but you could see! And I didn't say I was fine!" The whitette's voice was angry, and he could feel the warm sticky substance seeming out from the cloth pushed against the wound. "Dammit lavi. Why didn't you tell me it was this bad." Lavi was silent. Not wanting to say anything... More like there was nothing for him to say. Anything he could say would upset him further.

"your hurt really bad, you shouldn't have jumped in front of me like that, lavi, It was my fault." Allen started crying which cause the red head to feel guilty. But what he had done was for the best. Lavi wanted to help Allen, to protect the little white haired beansprout. He would risk his life for him. Do anything to protect the one whom he couldn't before.

Lavi blamed himself for Allen's blindness. If he had just been there sooner... If he could just have not split up... Allen wouldn't have been hurt. He would still be able to see. Lavi felt guilty for liking Allen's clinginess since the accident. "I'm so sorry" lavi said and hugged the teen to him. "I just couldn't see you get hurt again" Allen froze as lavi rested his head on top of his own. "I can't see you get hurt, you're too important to me."

Allen gasped and lavi froze. 'shit. Why the hell did I just say that!?' Lavi thought to himself and backed away from Allen, just in time to see Allen's face show utter disbelief. And he winced.

"eheh heh heh" Allen laughed awkwardly. "just how much blood did you lose?"

Lavi sighed in relief, he was glad Allen just brushed it off as something a by product of his injury. Wait. 'glad?' Lavi was very confused at his emotions. He was glad and no longer nervous at Allen's reaction to his sudden mini confession (confession?, lavi wasn't even sure if he had any feelings for anyone else. He wasn't supposed to have any. So how could on such shot notice he suddenly be confessing his love to someone?) but another part of the bookman-in-training felt utterly crushed. Allen had rejected the notion of lavi having a crush. Therefore he didn't like him.

Lavi decided to go along with what Allen thought/said. "I don't know. Alot i guess." He acted suprised at himself, but not all of this was simply an act.

Lavi stiffened as Allen put his hand to lavi's forehead. "shit, lavi your really cold, sweaty and clammy."

Lavi asked unsure of what Allen was getting at. "so? What's wrong with that?"

"lavi, is your skin pale-er than it normally is?" The bean-chan asked as he felt for lavi's pulse. The pressure he had applied along with the cloth hadn't stopped the bleeding and now the whitette was getting rather worried. As he felt the rabbits pulse he had realized that he was going into hypovolemic shock. When lavi didn't answer Allen snapped at him. "is your skin pale!"

Lavi replied in a calm tone, despite lavi having lost his cool. "what the hell are you talking about? I'm fine al. Nothing is wrong." This response got the blind teen to growl at lavi.

"answer me straight!" Allen yelled, he needed to know how bad lavi was but as he spoke to the injured teen Allen soon figured out he was confused at least a little bit. Allen managed to get a reply out of him however.

"I'm pale I guess, but I don't see what the problem moyashi." Allen groaned at lavi's response but knew it wasn't really his fault.

"I'm sorry" Allen said. He could feel that the blood had seeped through the cloth and Allen needed something else to wrap around lavi's wound. Anything to stop the bleeding. He took off his jacket, komui and Johnny would bitch at him but he no longer cared about their opinion. Allen used his innocence to cut a strip of cloth and wrap around the wound. He had already used all the scraps of cloth from amaryllis' vest and his own.

Allen wrapped it around tying it tight, not too tight though. He pressed against the wound again which ended up getting a groan out of lavi. "sorry it hurts" Allen apologized.

Lavi responded "its okay, I've had worse." Allen was happy that lavi was aware enough at that moment to be able to reply to him. Because it would be worse if lavi couldn't. The confusion was subtle and not completely there but Allen could tell lavi wasn't sure where they were or why he was hurt.

Allen suddenly felt something touch his head and he froze. 'an Akuma?'
