{💧}; Zack was doing his usual patrols in the water when he noticed the odd humanoid figure on the surface and sighs as he figured it was another corpse and swims towards it.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the other wasn’t actually dead.
He pops his head out and yells, “What in Hades’ name you doing all the way out here!?”
|| ---- Personally, he wasn’t sure as to HOW he would approach the other again.
Just how long has it been? All this time, he had to take care of not just his studies
at the time, but also his JOB. Yet after doing so, he never FOUND the courage to
contact the informant again---he felt quite GUILTY for suddenly losing TOUCH.
“---I’ve been, okay.” The greeting towards him wasn’t ENTIRELY new. Though,
Abel could TELL just how fake that innocent FACE of his was---there are THINGS
that never changed, after all.
"Awhile back you said you would marry me.." The swordsman mumbled, feeling his face starting to heat up. "What if I ask you marry me right now?"
The words took a few moments to register, a light blush having formed at the reminder, only for Allen to blink as his mind processed what, exactly, Kanda had said.
What if I asked you to marry me right now?
His heart skipped a beat, the widening of his eyes and the slight parting of his lips the signs that he had recognized the very fact he was being proposed to.
Kanda wants to marry me.
The look on his face could be called nothing else than pure wonder, surprised and awe mixing before it shifted into something else, silver eyes brighter and growing misty.
One moment, he had been frozen, and the next, Allen threw himself at Kanda, arms around his chest, hugging him close, his face into Kanda’s neck.
“Yes-” Allen gasped, then breathed, body trembling lightly as tears fell when he blinked. But the familiar scent was comforting, he nuzzled closer, feeling something warm bubble in his chest and spread.
No doubt that Kanda could feel the wide smile that formed. Then he pulled back, just enough to look up, his smile so genuine, and so very soft.

Dick throws the ruined shirt into the garbage and pulls on a fresh one, keeping silent for a few moments before responding. “I guess there’s always a point, a line we can’t come back from, be it death or our own actions and their consequences. It’s the life we’ve chosen.” Sometimes these kind of thoughts overwhelm him. Not necessarily the thought of something happening to him, but rather the ones around him, the ones he cared for. He nearly lost Bruce a few times and he’d rather not think of a time when the older would not stand up from the hospital bed. “But thinking about it only gets in the way.”
Oh Allen. Attempting to find an excuse, and to fluster Kanda. All so Kanda would forget the fact Allen definitely reacted to the touch, barely stopping the little yelp, but not able to stop from fidgeting.
He’s even trying to inch away subtly because he just knows what is coming as soon as Kanda realize that, yes, Allen is very much ticklish at this spot.

[ iv. ] KANDA IS ARGUABLY THE YOUNGEST EXORCIST HE DOESN’T TREAT LIKE A CHILD even with his Innocence activated. Krory will feel like it is his job to protect other Exorcists like Allen, Lavi, Lenalee, or even Chaozii for the records, because of how young they are, but Kanda ? Kanda gets treated like an adult.
So I decided to gift little stories to my close friends for Christmas; although the idea came to me a bit too late to have them ready for the actual day. Instead, I looked to know what each of you would like (and one of you is being totally surprised thanks to our common friend ^_~), and said I would have them done in January.
The time has come @skyfullofashes , this is your gift; Michael getting Allen’s soul to reincarnate and raise him, with a bonus of Kanda appearing at the end!
I decided to stay open and leave it to the imagination about Michal raising Allen; instead get feels with how Michael earned himself a baby when he did not quite mean it this way~
Enjoy!
Soft eyes full of sadness took into the soul that trembled, wary and scared. “Oh, Allen.” A tear slided down Michael's cheek. “I'm sorry, you deserved so much better.”
The soul trembled again, yet, shifted a bit closer, hesitant.
Michael smiled, gentle, chest full of pain and determination and shyness. He lifted both hands, as if he could cup the soul, but stopped a few inches from it. “That is why I wish to give you another chance. Will you let me give you a new life?”
Allen's soul pulsed lightly, then with no hesitation, it lowered to touch Michael's palms. His chest filled with warmth, both Allen's, and how willingly Allen allowed this. How much trust he placed, quite literally, in his hands.
“Thank you, Allen.”
No, thank you, daddy.
Michael jolted in surprise, but too late, the energy he had gathered did its work. It was supposed to send Allen's soul to reincarnate, to a new life.
Instead, there was a baby in his arms, hairs of the purest white, silver eyes gazing up at him and hands reaching for him.
“Oh.” Michael breathed out. He smiled, shaky, chest so full he had to let a few more tears slip. “This was supposed to be your gift. How did it come to be mine?”
Little Allen just grinned, tiny hands reaching for him.
Michael melted, cooing as he lifted Allen, nuzzling the tiny body and smiling goofily at the shrieks of laughters he earned.
You'll be the happiest son, I swear. I will give you back tenfold.
A promise Michael made sure to fulfill right away, but of consequences that would come only a few years later.
And Michael knew he made the right choice when he watched the little raven haired in the corner of the school's playground allow his precious little Allen to sit beside him; soft chuckles leaving the angel as Allen offered half of his cookie, and little Kanda accepted it after a second of hesitation, blushing the smallest bit as Allen beamed at him.
