Chapter Text
Questions are meant to make you think and not intended to answer. That's what Allen thought anyway as he stared at him.
'How should I get out of this?' Allen thinks as the men sighed and moved closer. With determination, Allen confidently walked close enough to feel that man's breath and whispered closed to his ear. "Is that how you are supposed to ask me? I can't even feel an ounce of sincerity from your question. At least beg a little." With that said, Allen left the stun men and walked out casually. Upon closing the door, however, he dropped his façade and dashed back to the dorms.
'This cannot be happening…right? I mean, did Kanda ask me that? To do that with him…." Allen blushed at that thought. "Let's sleep and pretend nothing happened. Yeah, let's do that." Allen mumbled to himself as he comfortably snuggled in his bed.
Allen stared at the ceiling and thought it through. 'Yeah, he could not have asked me to be his mate.' With his confusion cleared, he slowly drifted off to sleep. He did not know what awaited him.
It was hot. Allen felt his body burning up. Perhaps it was a fever? His heat just passed a month ago, so it was not that. He felt uncomfortable and throat dry. He sent a text to Levi informing him he will not be attending any classes that day before slumping back in his sheets and closed his eyes.
A repetitive knocking on the door woke Allen up. In a daze, he looked out and saw it was still bright out. Glancing at his clock, it showed that he has been asleep for the past 3 hours. He sluggishly got up and cleared his dry throat. Ignoring the knocking of the door, he went to the kitchen to clench his thirst and sigh at the persistent knocking.
"Who is...?'" His words stopped halfway. Low and behold it was Kanda who stared at him which such an intensity that it made him blush. He sweeps through Kanda's appearance. The cobalt hair tied in a neat high ponytail making him want to brush his hands through it. The elegant and kept uniform labelled Order high.
Kanda furrowed his brows in concern. He was checking the appearance of Allen. A cold Kanda concluded in his mind before inviting himself in ignoring Allen's indignation. Allen bristled and sighed in resignation as the Alpha went in the room. Aware of what just happened yesterday regarding Kanda's proposal to be mates yet baffled that he did not bring up the subject. The Alpha was clearly in his element in the kitchen: brewing tea and heating food he bought with him before silently gesturing to Allen to sit down, which Allen did after a mild protest but quickly gave in after spotting Kanda's concern furrow.
"How are you feeling?" Kanda asked, passing the bowl of congee to Allen. Allen mumbled his thanks and proceeded to eat reassuring Kanda it was a mild cold. Kanda gives his notes over to Allen, and they both shared a peaceful silence. When Allen finished eating, Kanda took the empty dishes to clean and instructed Allen to rest who sighed and went back to the bedroom.
It was oddly domestic. Allen thought as he hears Kanda cleaning up in the living room. Kanda knocked on the door that was in the bedroom and silently gestured for permission to enter knowing how territorial omegas get with their personal space. Allen nods in approval and opens his comforter wanting to snuggle with said Alpha. Kanda understood the non-verbal cue from Allen and wrapped his arms around Allen's waist sighing in comfort as Allen snuggle to his chest.
"This does not mean anything," Allen mumbles in denial feeling so comfortable in the Alpha arms. Kanda smirks in amusement and smoothes the omega by rubbing his back the touch completely platonic. Soft purring slowly came out of Allen as he fell asleep.
"Allen, I have to go," Kanda whispered to Allen, who tightened his grip. Allen was so comfortable in this position he refused. He slowly opened his eyes only to see Kanda smiling.
"No." Allen refused and gripped onto Kanda. Kanda didn't want to go, but he had other responsibilities. Like a meeting happening in 10 mins time. He smooth Allen and whispered comforting words to Allen, who slowly loosen his grip and sigh in resignation. Kanda smiles and plants a chaste kiss on Allen's forehead before informing Allen he will check up on him later. Allen nodded, and Kanda tucked Allen back into bed, replacing a warm pillow where his body laid. Allen immediately snuggles into it and soon fell asleep, making Kanda smile.
Kanda left a note about heating dinner before closing the door, quietly leaving Allen's place.
"Yuu~how's Allen?" Levi asked in concern as Kanda entered the room. Kanda shrug before seating at his place.
"He's fine. Just a cold." Kanda supplied and opened his laptop ready for their project. Levi nodded, and the two alphas worked in silence, communicating only when necessary. Usually, Levi will disturb Kanda, but knowing said Alpha just wanted the project to be over and go back to Allen made him not want to. Knowing the antsy feeling, Kanda felt when his sick omega is at home alone. Even without a bond, Levi could see they were soul bonds. Broken pieces that made up a single piece. Although said omega did reject Kanda, the Alpha knew it was temporary. Soul mates were attracted together, and it showed when Allen easily let Kanda in and cuddle with him feeling safe. Kanda was not worried about Allen's rejection. It was only a matter of time.
The clock struck eight and Kanda closed his laptop. After informing Levi he was leaving, he checked his phone and send a text to Allen that he was reaching soon.
"Allen, did you eat?" Kanda asked in concern. Allen looked like he just got out of bed. Allen shook his head, making Kanda sighed. Kanda manoeuvred around the kitchen and heated the dinner he prepared while Allen contently just stared at Kanda.
"Thanks," Allen mumbled and quickly ate. Kanda nods his head, and they ate in silence just being content with each other in the same space. Allen knew Kanda wanted him, but it was hard to trust. Trust that Kanda wanted him forever and not temporary. Kanda frowned seeing Allen look distressed but knew the omega would avoid the topic. Resting was the priority anyway. Kanda quickly cleaned up and tucked Allen back into bed. The omega sighed in content and held his hands.
"Don't go, Yuu," Allen whispered, squeezing his hands. Kanda nodded and climbed onto the bed, spooning Allen. He kissed Allen's hair and whispered goodnight before they both drift off to sleep.
