AN; Whoohoo, something that's not Final Fantasy. I recently got into this series not too long ago and spent two straight days reading up to the most recent chapter and Lavi definitely became my favorite character, along with Allen and Rhode. And I've been wanting to write a Lavi-centric piece since. So I wrote his name down, added in some Lavi-like movement, and VOILA. I know my account page says I'm a LaviLenalee or LaviAllen fan, but LaviKanda works for me too. They're like opposites and everyone knows opposites attract! Plus Kanda is fun to write because I get to use words like growl, scowl, and glare excessively :DDD .

On other notes, I'm sorry for my poor excuse of a bit of action-y fighting. I'm generally just a dramatic fight writer haha and I didn't want to write this in first person, so the fact that the two characters are both "He"s (as much as Kanda doesn't look it), I tried not to use the word so much so you wouldn't be confused by who is doing what. I tried to find as many different things I could call them to differentiate D: Oh and I think my English got a bit iffy somewhere in there so if you find any mistakes or weird parts, please tell me. Oh and I might have said Kanda is older than Lavi in there? Is that true? According to other people Lavi's birthday is in August and Kanda's is in June, so yes, no, maybe so?

Please enjoy my first attempt at DGM Loving.

Oh and for whomever of you that have read this Author's Note (GEEZE YOU'RE AMAZING FOR DOING SO) or have merely scanned it and was attracted by my all caps moment there (and here), THIS IS INDEFINITELY COMPLETE. If you would like more to this one-shot (a follow up, I suppose it would be called, which I have already started writing), PLEASE tell me so and I may (if someone asks and/or if I feel like it) or may not (if no one asks and I don't feel like it). Okay, that's all I have to say. Hopefully.

And yes, my excessive Author's Notes are just an attempt to make my one-shots look longer :D

Word Count; 626 (HAH! My Author's Note adds 468 words to the word count xD ...not counting this input.)

Written On; August 14, 2008, 1:36 AM. Approx. Time Taken; 40 or so minutes with an hour's worth of tweaking while it was rewritten (in an attempt to fix my English)

Lavi scratched his brow as he wandered the Black Order headquarters. There was nothing for him to do with no new Innocence showing up on the radar and his gramps being preoccupied with other business. Maybe he'd go check out the Science Department, see what new havoc Komui was causing. He passed by a training room and paused to glance through the small window. And there was somebody he could entertain himself with. He silently slipped into the room, but this was one person he couldn't sneak up on, besides his grandfather.

"What do you want?"

"Hey, hey, no need to be so cold, Yuu," he held up his hands in defense, "just observing."

The raven-haired boy glared at the use of his given name, but continued his training exercise with a displeasurable "che." With sleek movements, Kanda Yuu was graceful, flowing like water, but Mugen hissed as it sliced away at the air in deadly speeds. Lavi whistled, always impressed by the other. Mugen slashed and thrusted with great control from its user who stayed even the entire time.

Feeling up to a bit of exercise himself, he pushed himself off of where he had been leaning on the wall and reached into his pocket for his Tettsui, "Enough warm-up, let's spar."

Kanda didn't object and they took their stances, eyeing the one opposite them. They had fought together, sometimes sparring, sometimes on the field, many a time and knew the other's movements well, making the spar a good challenge since surprise attacks would be difficult.

Not one to be on the defensive, Kanda charged with his usual speed but Lavi easily jumped out of the way and blocked the follow up slash to his chest. Switching to the offensive, the Bookman apprentice extended the handle in attempt to knock him in the stomach. The swordsman expected this and dodged, however with a swing right at that moment, he was forced to fall into a crouch to avoid the hammer head. Jumping up once it was past, he took this chance to go in for a direct attack again.

Hearing a whistling sound behind him, he was pushed by the retracting weapon and stumbled forward, easily caught by the redhead with his free arm.

A brow disappeared behind the bandana. "You're out of it, Yuu. Usually you see that one coming."

He scowled up at the younger, "Shut up. And what is that look you are giving me—" His eyes widened and his thoughts were wiped clean away.

Lavi finally let go of Kanda as he stepped away, his tongue flicking out to run along the bottom of his lip, a grin easily slipping onto his face as he hummed, "Mm, mediocre at best, Yuu. I better leave you to your needed training." He turned to go, pocketing his Innocence, but he suddenly had his back slammed into the wall, his shirt collar clenched within a fist.

Kanda growled, eyes narrowed, "I am not mediocre at anything." He reinforced his statement by smashing his lips to the other's. Lips already parted partially from surprise at the brute force, the Japanese's tongue slid in, demanding dominance, and he was all but willing to concede. Lavi tried to move in closer to make the kiss even more, but he was shoved back. "I am not mediocre." And with that (and a "che"), he stalked out.

A smirk played his features as Lavi replayed the past few moments and Kanda's abrupt leave in his perfect memory. There had definitely been a red tinge to those pale cheeks.

His lips were still slightly numb as he took his leave as well with a pleased murmur, "Definitely not mediocre."
