AUTHOR'S NOTE - So, my lovelies, I posted this a while back and just recently I totally got into it once more. This is a repost of my original fanfic (I fixed a couple things) and guess what, Chapter 2 will be up in the next couple days! :3 Just once it's edited and looked at. So, without further ado, enjoy the new and improved (it's not THAT improved, just slightly) chapter 1. Reviews are always a wonder.

Chapter 1

"You lied to me?" the silver haired young man said, shock in his voice, eyes wide behind the silver locks. He had been about to step down the last step of the stair case, and accidentally tripped when he tried to walk down yet another step that wasn't there. "All that stuff you told me?"

"...Yeah...about that..." Lavi said nervously and scratched the back of his head, green gaze flickering away from his friend swiftly. Was this still Allen he was talking to? Sometimes it was hard to tell. "Those were all girls."

"Lavi, were you a player in high school?" Allen asked as he regained his balance and managed to close his messenger bag before losing notes for some class. Lavi glanced down, in case he had to pick something up, but saw that his help was unneeded.

Lavi gave a small shrug. "I...guess you could call me that," he said. Why was he always nervous about sex when he was around Allen? For some reason, the 19-year-old was very intimidating in that way. "...I didn't lie when I've been with one guy, but we were both really drunk, and, uh, he said I hurt him a lot the next day, so, don't you see why I'm nervous?"

"But you didn't have to lie to me Lavi, it doesn't make me think less of you or anything. Plus, it would've explained why you're so nervous," Allen said, heading outside. Lavi followed him, giving a nod in reply. Did I already say that Allen was intimidating? Well, I'm saying it again. He is intimidating.

Maybe it was the way that Lavi had met the silver haired boy attributed to the fact that he found him intimidating when talking about sex. The redhead still remembered their first meeting quite clearly, even after two months.

Lavi had only been in school for a couple days when someone had invited him to a party being held at one of the frat houses. He hadn't really known the person who had invited him, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided he'd go. It'd be a good chance to meet more people. And hey, he liked partying. It would be fun.

So he went to the party, arriving a bit later than when the person said it would be starting. His logic was that there would be more people, it wouldn't be that awkward start up that always happened at parties and dances and all of that. He came to find it packed, and in full swing. About half of the students there were already at least a bit tipsy, and a couple tried to give Lavi drinks.

Lavi, he had had experience with alcohol, and at a party this big, he had decided that it would be better to not drink anything. He didn't want to pass out or get sick. He hated hangovers, and didn't think that the taste of alcohol or the feeling of being drunk was good enough to outweigh a hangover. So he had wandered from the main room, looking for a place to sit where there wasn't anyone who was passed out, or making out.

And that was when he had stumbled upon them. He hadn't been paying attention to his feet, now why would he when he could see the furniture moderately well even in the dim lighting, and had tripped over something. That something, upon drawing back to get a clearer view, turned out to be two pairs of feet, attached to two sets of tangled together legs. His gaze traveled up the forms, unsure of where one ended and the other began because of the lighting.

Neither had shirts on, and it had taken Lavi several moments to process the fact that both were men, and that they were locked together at the lips, and that one of the four hands was in the pants of the other. He took a swift step back and tripped over a chair, falling into the seat with a startled grunt. The pair broke apart and the more slender one, who lay on top of the other, broke the kiss to look around.

"Lavi...are you paying attention to me?"

"Apparently not," Lavi said and shook his head vigorously. "Sorry, I was thinking. What were you saying?" He hadn't realized that they had gone outside. It was a warm, sunny day, but there was the tall tell signs of October in the air (it was a week away).

"I was saying that he has much more experience than you, who had never slept with a guy before. Yeah, it'll hurt a little, but it'll go away fast," Allen said, glancing over his shoulder at Lavi. The redhead grimaced a little.

"You make it sound easy..." Lavi sighed dramatically.

"It is easy! All you have to do is spread your legs and-"

"Allen!" Lavi said, shocked that he had actually said that so bluntly. Allen chuckled, amused at his friends reaction.

"I'm sorry. I was channeling the 14th's energy there. Not my fault," he explained as he reached one of the picnic tables under the trees. It was at least ten degrees cooler in the shade, and Lavi shivered a bit.

"Hello Yu-chan!" Lavi called. The college junior grunted as he came over, but when he spotted Allen he seemed to lighten up a bit.

"Don't call me that," Kanda snapped as he sat down with his boyfriend. Lavi sat down across the table from them, setting his bag down on the seat beside him. He watched the dark haired 21-year-old shake out his hair, settling an arm around Allen's waist.

"How about...Yu-babe?" Lavi asked, a grin on his face. But the look on Kanda's face was warning enough and he threw his hands up defensively. "I kid, I kid! Don't kill me! I was just teasing...you know you like it when Allen says it."

"Yeah, but Lavi, I'm allowed to call him whatever I want," Allen said, a dangerous look in his gaze, like he was thinking of something perverted. And he probably was. He glanced at Kanda and grinned a bit, tongue flicking out just a little.

"Agh, you guys, don't start having sex at the table," Lavi said with a groan and rested his head on his crossed arms, staring at the worn wood of the picnic table. "I don't need to see that. Really."

"But Lavi, I didn't do anything!" Allen said, an innocent look on his smooth features. "You know I could never do something like that."

"Now who's lying?" Lavi shot back, voice muffled as he continued to speak into the wood of the table. "All I'm saying is that you two are like rabbits, jumping at each other at any time that seems good. And I would rather not see you two going at it on this table, so please, go find a room. But not my room!" he added swiftly.

"Oh Lavi," Allen said, laughing softly.

"What? Can't I eat my lunch without—AH!" Lavi jumped as two arms slid around his waist and the smell of tobacco reached his nose. He moved about a bit to see the man who had settled on the bench behind him, so that Lavi was now between his legs.

"Hello lovely," Tyki said in his ear.

"Can you not smoke in my face? It's bad enough that you do it in the first place," Lavi grumbled. He didn't like that Tyki smoked, but it was part of the package that came with dating the man, so he'd deal with it for a little while at the very least. Maybe later on, he would try and get Tyki to quit, but as of right now, all he was really focused on doing was making sure that Tyki didn't strip him or rape him or anything like that. And that took a lot of energy.

"Fine, fine," Tyki said and moved the cigarette to between his fingers, which rested on the bench seat beside him.

Lavi leaned sideways to get a better look at his had-been-stalker and gave him a long look. Amber gaze met emerald and for a long moment they just looked at each other. "You know, on a school campus, you're not supposed to have tobacco," he pointed out as he sat straight, moving so he wasn't so close to Tyki. He found that rather challenging, since the seat was made for one person, and Tyki was siting behind him. So he either had to slide off the seat, or scoot back, against the man. And that would give the wrong ideas, for sure.

"Oh you know that isn't true, love. Only close to buildings. And if you hadn't noticed, we are rather far away from the nearest 'No Smoking' sign," Tyki purred.

"You're going to get cancer," Allen commented, eyes on his book. His gaze flickered up to Tyki for a moment before looking back at the book that lay on the picnic table before him.

"Does the silver kitten care about me?" Tyki asked, putting his cigarette out on the bench.

"Don't call him that," Kanda snapped and his arm tightened protectively around Allen's waist. Allen looked more amused than anything else and gave Kanda an adoring look.

"No, I care about Lavi. I don't think Lavi likes that you smoke," Allen commented. Tyki looked at Lavi, who looked a bit awkward.

"Oh, my bunny boy cares," Tyki said. "How cute!"

"Gah, stop, you stalker, you're strangling me," Lavi said and pushed back against the table, forcing Tyki off the bench backwards. The man's arms tightened around his waist and they both fell, Lavi landing on top of Tyki. He got up swiftly so he wasn't on Tyki and moved to the other side of the picnic table, so that now he was sitting beside Allen.

"You two are cute," Allen commented.

"Well, you two scare me sometimes," Lavi shot back. "With all that stuff..."

"What stuff?" Allen asked, glancing at him.

"All that S&M stuff, seriously, you two are crazy. And you're like rabbits. Goin' at it every chance you get. Don't you get tired at all? And don't you have public decency?" Lavi asked, lifting up the cover of Allen's book to see what he was reading. Some medical volume. He dropped it, looking bored.

"Public decency? Aren't you the one who stripped in front of a bunch of cheerleaders in high school, to impress them?" Allen asked.

"Yup!" Lavi said, a lopsided grin on his lips. "And it worked too."

"Bunny boy, I would've loved to see that..." Tyki said.

"There is no way in hell that I would strip for you, at least any time soon," Lavi shot back. "You're like a pedophile. I wouldn't be surprised if I found out that you molested little boys."

"Hah, like I would do that," Tyki said. "Children have nothing to molest, so what's the fun in that? I find it much more enjoyable to have fun with someone who actually has something there. Like you. Why don't you come home with me tonight?"

"No," Lavi shot down the idea before Tyki had even finished his sentence. A part of him wanted to go with Tyki, but the other part of him, that always won, was terrified. "And don't you have class now?" Tyki looked at the time on his iPhone.

"You just want to get rid of me," he said getting up. "I love you, bunny boy. You need to come home with me sometime." He leaned down and kissed Lavi. Lavi didn't refuse. He enjoyed kissing Tyki. It was just when he got too aggressive or too into it that the redhead stopped him. But this was nice. A short, sweet kiss then he pulled away. He gave a small wave and headed away from them, one hand in his pocket, the other holding his smart phone.

Just let him fuck you, for Christ's sake," Kanda grunted. "I'm tired of seeing you two fly in circles around each other."

"Does Yu-chan want to watch?" Lavi asked, evading the blunt remark with a jab at the Japanese junior.

"Why would I want to watch?" he asked, looking over Allen's snowy head to give Lavi a disgusted look.

"Because it gets you hot?" Lavi suggested. Allen was completely ignoring the other two, absorbed in the medical book that he was reading.

"Seeing you two go at it wouldn't get me hot," Kanda shot back venomously. "What gets me hot is my Moyashi tied up and begging for it." This earned the long haired 21-year-old a sharp jab in the ribs with Allen's elbow. Kanda let out a startled grunt and rubbed the spot that he had hit. It would probably bruise, it had been a strong jab. "What the hell was that for, Moyashi?"

"I can hear you two," Allen said. "Don't be perverted."

Lavi snickered, covering his mouth with a hand to hide his wide grin. When Allen shot him a glare, he stopped as well. "Both of you."

"Weren't you reading, just like, five seconds ago?" Lavi asked, glancing down at the book. It was filled with complicated terms and detailed diagrams. He figured that if he wanted to, he would be able to do all of the things that Allen did, but it would take him a lot more effort to memorize all of those terms than it did with Allen. The boy had a knack for medicine, and wanted to be a doctor. Lavi didn't doubt that he would reach that with flying colors.

"I was," Allen said. "but your conversation dealt with me, and I wasn't about to let Kanda get away with saying something so perverted."

"How is what I said perverted compared to some of the things you've said?" the 21-year-old asked, eyebrows raising a little. He pulled Allen a little closer to him, so that their legs were pressed together. Lavi looked away after a moment. Sometimes he felt like a third wheel.

"I think I'm going to go get lunch, I'll leave you two be," the redhead said and stood up from the bench. He had missed something between the two; Kanda was murmuring into Allen's ear and the boy was looking at his book, looking indecisive. Was it something serious?

"Mn, you don't have to," Allen said, looking up at him.

"Naw, I'm hungry anyways. And you two seem to want to talk in private. I'll see you later then, yeah?" Lavi said, voice chipper. He got his bag and waved to the two sitting on the bench, then headed to one of the closer dining halls. He was hungry, he hadn't been lying about that.

Sometimes it felt like there was so much more about the silver haired boy than what Lavi knew. He shrugged to himself as he gave the cashier his card to scan, before he went into the dining hall. (He had an off-campus meal plan because sometimes, well, he was just too damn lazy to cook for himself.) He only had known Allen for two months, their first meeting being at the party. He had been with his boyfriend for three years before that, so Kanda knew much more about the 19-year-old's predicament. Even Tyki had known Allen longer than Lavi.

"Ah, whatever. Maybe I'll ask him about it sometime when he's not around Kanda," Lavi said under his breath as he got his food from the nice lady behind the counter. He took it to a table and sat down, dragging out a book for his English class. It was a good book, Lavi thought, and he had no trouble reading it for class.

He set his phone on the table so that he could keep an eye on the time and started to read. He sporadically ate his meal, focused more on his book than eating, until the table vibrated and he lifted his eyes to the phone.

New text...from who he thought curiously and picked it up. He wasn't big on texting; Tyki was, and he knew that Allen loved to. It was Allen.

– Did we make you uncomfortable or something? the text read. Lavi's fingers hit the letters swiftly, typing a reply.

– No, it's fine, don't you worry

Allen was a good kid. He just had trouble, because of his multiple personalities. He only had two, himself and another. The other was called the 14th, but Kanda said that he had a name as well. Lavi pushed a bit of his uneaten food across his plate, remembering.

Memories came back clearly, as if a movie started to replay. A week or so after Lavi had come across Allen and Kanda at the party, he had approached the silver-haired teen and said hello after a class. Allen had turned to him, and the look in his eyes was not the one he had gotten used to in the one week that they had been hanging out. It was dark, dangerous, and intimidating.

That hadn't stopped Lavi from saying hello. Maybe he was just having a bad day. Allen's lips curved into a smirk and he shook his head. "One of his friends, neh?" he had replied. "I don't remember you..."

Lavi had been saved by Kanda. The long haired man seemed to sense the difference in his boyfriend and took his hand, talking in his ear. Lavi had only heard a couple words, but those words made him feel cold and confused. Don't act like that. Allen knows him. He's your friend.

That had been the first time he had come across the 14th, the other personality that was housed in Allen's mind. Most of the time he stayed away, leaving Allen alone. Sometimes he came out in full force. Sometimes only some things would come out, a mixture of the 14th and Allen.

He shook his head and shrugged. It was a very strange experience, looking back on it. He hadn't expected at all to become friends with someone who had a disorder he had only read about. And it didn't help all of the complications he had with his boyfriend. He wondered what it was like going out with someone like that.

His phone buzzed again. This time it was Tyki.

– Hey babe. Can you PLEASE come home with me tonight? You're so stubborn. I'll treat you good. Lavi was exasperated and embarrassed at the same time. Did normal people act like this about sex? It seemed like he was the only one who wasn't obsessed with it, because he knew that Allen and Kanda were.

Ah, but I'm kinda obsessed with it as well... He remembered all those nights when he was in high school, staying up with a girl, or just on his own and his computer. He even remembered the first time he had paused, before finding some videos of a different sort. The first porn video including two guys had changed Lavi's entire outlook on sex. He hadn't really thought about gays up until that point.

He had always thought that guys were attractive, but never really thought much more. But that video had really turned him on. Much more than the normal stuff. It had been strange.

Lavi chose to not reply to that text that his boyfriend had sent him. He would decide later. He wasn't ready for that yet. He added that to the list of things that he wanted to ask Allen; he wanted to know more about sex with guys. He was going to get very detailed explanations, he figured, but it was better than nothing, right?
