Let there be fluff on a stressful week!! I hope you guys enjoy!! ;; 0 ;;

//Note, this is somewhat au-ish! Allen hasn’t been labelled as a traitor yet and Lou Fa (along with her group) got transferred to Central, where she got close to Lena and Johnny c: I hope this is okay with you nonny!!

“Lou Fa?” startled, the young scientist spun on her heel, coming face to face with a concerned exorcist offering her a sympathetic smile. The heavy weight that had settled on her shoulders were lifted, a sigh passing through her lips as her grip loosened on her fingers.

“Allen,” she breathed, a smile growing on her face at the familiar sight of a friend. Lou Fa stepped away from the window, fixing her glasses just as she flashed a shy smile towards Allen, the latter inviting her to sit on the couch behind them.

“You’re worried aren’t you?” Allen asked after watching Lou Fa glance out the window once more, pouring rain blocking their view of the greenery outside. Lou Fa fiddled with her fingers, nodding her head when in truth, she was more flustered than worried.

It was probably wrong, to push her friend’s well-being aside because the person of her affections was in the same room as her, being concerned for her and all.

Johnny had left an hour ago, being called upon by Reever to help with restraining another malfunctioned Mini Komlin III and Lenalee was away on a dangerous mission in the Himalayas, which worried Lou Fa a lot; not only because of the weather, but also the nature of the mission and the fact that their exorcist uniforms aren’t fit for minus three degrees celsius.

“Lenalee’ll be fine. Kanda’s accompanying her this time around so you have little to worry about,” Allen moved closer to the her, throwing the spare blanket he had grabbed on his way here when Johnny told him that Lou Fa would be spending the rest of her off day in the library. Lou Fa squeaked, not expecting the act of kindness to which Allen chuckled at.

“In the meantime, you should rest. You haven’t even eaten since the news came,” Allen gave a strained smile, handing the thermos filled with warm tea to Lou Fa courtesy of Jeryy; the cook was a blessing no matter where he went.

“Thank you,” she mumbled, the heat in her cheeks slowly dying out. “I’m just worried is all…”

“This is the most dangerous mission Lenalee was given ever since you transferred here so it’s only right for you to worry,” Allen hummed, sipping on his own drink and sighing in content. “You’re her best friend after all. I hope you don’t mind me doing this-”

Shortly after Allen spoke those words, he scooted closer to Lou Fa, wrapping his arm around hers and pulling her towards his body. He rested his cheek on the crown of her hair, rubbing comforting circles on her upper arm as he reassured her that Lenalee would be fine.

Lou Fa was beyond flustered at this point, her cheeks burning at the equivalent rate of the sun as she kept her eyes forward, her shaking hand causing ripples to form on the surface of her tea. She smiled, lowering her hands to her lap as she shifted slightly to make herself comfortable.

“Thank you….”

“For what?”

“For… For being here…” Lou Fa’s voice was nothing more but a mere mumble, her heavy eyes falling as all other thoughts left her head.

Bak-chan : Was it too naive of us to think that if he invocated, it would change into a weapon?

Roufa : But he's able to synchronize...

Shifu : Perhaps he can't control it very well because it has separated from his body.

Rikei : What if it's impossible to bring back...?

Wong to Allen : ARE YOU OKAY!?
