Whisper in the Heart [ D-GrayMan - Lavi + Allen ]

Chapter Two: Hopeful Advice
Once again Allen found himself all alone as headed towards the dining hall; he hoped that once his stomach was full he may be able to come up with some other ideas on how to express his feelings for Lavi. There was also the possibility that there might be someone at the dining hall who could help him and if that didn't work he could try asking Jerry he might be able to offer some advice on what to do.

When Allen got to the dining hall to his dismay he found it to be completely empty; there was wasn't a single person in sight. So Allen went over to the serving counter where he hoped to find Jerry at least.

''Um hello…………." -  ''Jerry are you there?"

''Is that you Allen?" came the voice from the back of the kitchen.

''Yes it's me!"

''Hold on I'll be with you in a moment!"

Jerry came walking up to the serving counter where Allen was waiting for him, Allen could see that Jerry was covered in flour, from a distance Jerry could have been for a ghost.

''Sorry for the wait I had to put some bags of flour away in the back so that's why I'm covered in flour!"

''So Allen my little cutie pie what can ole Jerry do for you do for you!"

''Well if you don't mind could you make me something to eat I kind of forgot about dinner!"

''Sure no problem you know I'm always happy to cook for you any time!"

''By the way is there anything bothering you?"- ''You know you can always ask me I'd be happy to help."

At this statement Allen couldn't help but smile he could always count on Jerry, to Allen Jerry seemed like a mother figure who was loving and nurturing in many ways although he wasn't sure what to think about a man being a mother. Although he had fallen in love with another guy so at this point Allen was just happy to know that Jerry was there for him.

Allen went and sat at a nearby table to wait while Jerry prepared some of Allen's favourite dish's like carpaccio, beef stew, chicken with potato salad, shepherd's pie, taiyaki, okonomiyaki, scone's with forest fruit jam, there was even his favourite dish of all mitarashi dango along with a cup of fresh bean coffee.

Once Allen had finished his meal and his stomach was full he felt re-energized, but he still had one little problem how to tell Lavi that he loved him. He quickly slumped down, with his arms on the table top while hiding his face. Seeing this Jerry came and sat down beside and put a comforting hand on the young exorcist's back.

''There…….there Allen don't get all depressed!"- ''You tell ole Jerry what's up!"

Allen looked up to see Jerry with a sincere smile upon his face and he in return he smiled back and raised himself up from his slump on the table top.

''Well now what's the matter?"

''Jerry how do you tell someone that you love them?"

''Well now that's a tough one."- '' I guess the simplest and easiest way is to speak from the heart!"

''But what if you can't say it!"

''Hmmmmmm……….. how about getting them a present or doing something to prove your love they do say action speaks louder than words!"

''I don't think that tactic will work!"

''Why not!"

''Because I'm n exorcist there's been plenty of times when I've put myself in danger to save Lavi and he still hasn't noticed how I feel about him!"

''Well then how about a love letter since you can't say the words you could write down all of your feelings in a letter!"

''that's a great idea Jerry thank you so much!"

Allen stood up his face beaming if he couldn't tell Lavi face to face all he had to do was to write how he felt in letter. Allen took a hold of Jerry's hand.

''Thank you Jerry you're the best!"

Allen raced out of the dining hall and headed straight for his bedroom.
