After finishing a mission to find a rumoured piece of innocence and eliminate a group of akuma in a small town (the innocence was a false rumour and the akuma were relatively easy to take care of) Lavi and Allen were exploring the town while waiting for their next orders. Wandering past well-kept park with vibrant arrangements of flowers, local shops with bright window displays and market stalls plying their wares, they carefully inspected everything on offer. Already, they had found small gifts for several of their friends – a beautifully crafted fan and a delicately embroidered silk scarf for Linali, a sword care kit for Kanda, a set of hair pins set with colourful semi-precious stones for Miranda (they were still looking for Krory's gift).

Turning down a small alley way, the pair stumbled across a small shop. Entering, they found a brightly lit toy shop with various displays of different kinds of toys, including a small display of teddies and plush cuddly toys. Wandering over to the teddies, Lavi smirked slightly, seeing one that would be perfect for his companion. He called out to Allen, bringing him over to show him what he had found. "Oi, Allen, come and see this!"

"What is it, Lavi?" Allen asked. Lavi held out a small clown cuddly toy, done mostly in whites and greys, with light red markings on its face and a small crown perched upon its head.

"It's you, Allen!" Lavi laughed at Allen's surprised look. "You should get it."

Turning away to look at the display, Allen spotted a different teddy and reached out to gently pick it up. Smirking now himself, Allen replied, "If I should get the clown, then you should get this one, Lavi!"

Allen held the new toy up for inspection. It was a red rabbit teddy, with a green ribbon around its neck and oddly, an eye patch over one eye. Grinning, Allen continued, "It looks just like you."

Lavi laughed and they exchanged toys, to take a closer look at them. "You know, I've changed my mind. I'm going to buy the clown one." Lavi said. He smiled softly at Allen, "That way, I can take you with me on all my missions and have you keep me company at the Order, when you're away on missions without me."

Allen stared at him in surprise, with a slight blush on his cheeks. "Then I'll get the rabbit one so I can do the same."

Blushing, they again switched teddies, made their way to the counter and paid for them, before leaving to go back to the hotel they were staying at.

AN I quite like most Allen pairings, and if I'm honest, this was mostly just an excuse for a little Lavi!rabbit plushy to be brought into existence.
