Coincidence (Allen x Reader) -One Shot-

   








    You weren't supposed to be feeling this way... Sure, he was a nice guy, and yeah he had incredible abs, and of course he was immensely attractive- Gah! Stop it!! You screamed mentally at yourself. While you sat at the table, eyeing the boy that walked across the room. Your cheeks had flushed into a bright red, and you nervously looked away, gazing down at your lap. What're you thinking?! He would never feel the same way... You sighed and shook your head. It was incredibly difficult being in the Order with a romantic interest- especially between two guys. Knowing you could die at any given moment, you still took the risk to fall for this boy. His pure white hair just barely grazed his shoulders. It was growing quite long. You admired him from across the room. He was grabbing several plates of different foods. You leaned your elbow against the table, resting your head on your palm, covering your smiling mouth. Your eyes widened slightly as you saw him approaching you. When he set his plates down, you lowered your arm from your face.

    "Ah, ______, how are you on this fine day?" Allen asked, grabbing a stick of mitarashi dango and taking a bite of one.
    "O-Oh, I'm doing good! You?" You asked with a cheerful smile.

He chewed his food and swallowed, returning your grin.

    "I'm fantastic! I'm just really hungry..."
    "I can understand that," you said gently.

He finished up about five sticks of dango before taking a break and moving on to the bowls of sticky rice.

    "Do you know where Lavi is?" He asked.

You shook your head briefly. He shrugged, his face slightly concerned.

    "What's with the look?" You asked.
    "Hm? Look?"
    "You look a little worried."
    "Oh. Well, he just took off with Lenalee a little bit ago and still hasn't returned for lunch," he said, muffled by his food.

You tilted your head, slightly confused. Then you picked up on the hints Lavi had dropped earlier. You furrowed your brows and looked to the side. Stupid rabbit... Purposely leaving me alone with Allen... I'll kick his ass later, you thought. Suddenly, you felt a hand touch your hair. You looked back to see Allen smiling at you. Your eyes drifted back and forth between his hand and his eyes. 

    "Uh, what's up?" You asked.
    "Nothing!" He chuckled, ruffling your hair.

You closed your eyes as your cheeks heated up in embarrassment. You hated that every little tender touch made warmth surge through you. He was always so gentle and loving... You hardly realized you were pouting, your lower lip poking farther out than your upper lip. Allen laughed a little as he finished off a plate of cobbler. 

    "Now you have a look," he teased.
    "I do not!" You pouted more.

He shook his head and eyed you fondly as he ate his food. He glanced down at the table and noticed you didn't have a plate. Looking back up at you, he chewed his food slowly.

    "Aren't you hungry?" He asked.

You glanced over at him and shook your head. Your appetite had been zapped ever since you came to terms with your feelings for him. You figured if it were anyone else, you'd be just fine. Well, not anyone else. More like if it had been a girl... You sighed and looked down at your lap again. Again, you were interrupted by Allen tugging on you.

    "Hey, what' going on? You seem distracted and down. Are you okay?" 
    "Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine..." You lied.

He leaned back and shook his head, finishing his food and pushing all the plates to the side.

    "You know, you're a really bad liar."

Your eyes widened and you felt your skin begin to burn. You were starting to sweat nervously, small beads forming along your hairline. 

    "Come on, let's go take a walk or something," Allen suggested quietly.
    "O-Okay..." You murmured.
