Allen never would have kissed her. He hadn’t wanted to kiss her.
No, that wasn’t right. Those words were lies the moment he thought them. The truth went something a little more like this: he never would have kissed her of his own accord, and he hadn’t wanted to kiss her until it happened. But the moment her dry mouth scraped its way lightly over his, his chest ached for things he couldn’t name. Hurriedly, he blinked away the tears which had welled in his eyes. Pressed in deeper. Something felt wrong and he didn’t care. He gripped her forearms as hard as he dared to, trying to mask the shake in his hands. Lenalee Lee. It always had to be her, didn’t it?
“Allen-kun,” she sighed, breath hitching, against his mouth. Their lips were trembling and sliding together, warm, wet, and, though it could have just been his imagination, forced. His heart thudded anxiously. “Why are you so distant lately?” Distant? Breathing in sharply, he pushed harder, suddenly, sickeningly desperate to leave her lips swollen. She exhaled against his damp skin. It was a delicate counterpoint.
It made him ill.
“Sometimes it feels like you’re a different person.” Allen felt each line of her body against him. Her knee rose slightly and knocked against his hip. Different, huh? Diff...erent? He grimaced and dug into the flesh beneath his palms. Even as he left marks, Lenalee’s fluttering eyelids remained closed. He’d already opened his, he realized numbly.
“Do I?” he said thinly, smirking. Without meaning to, he’d mixed his fear with cynicism. It was the way Lenalee’s unspoken fears hid in the very corners of her mouth when she wasn’t looking, like she was now, that made it so hard to keep acting gentlemanly. He wanted to tear each word from her tongue and press them to his ear. He wanted to swallow them whole so she was left with nothing. No... that wasn’t right, either.
Her hands clutched the back of his coat the same way they always did when she cried, pulling at the straining fabric, pressing bruises into his back. He could taste the tears that spun down her cheeks and drenched the kiss in salt and sweat. So, Johnny was right. He really wasn’t as polite anymore. Allen’s mouth curled automatically into a reassuring, artificial smile that stuck to her wet lips. Fabric tore as she whispered, voice thick and words clumsy, “You’re awful.”
His smile tightened.
Why can't I ever write anything happy?
...And why do I insist on writing the less popular pairings? OTL

You gave an interesting view of the possible future interaction between Allen, the 14th and the others. I like when Linalee gets all angsty

Anyway, this was a very nice little fic, I loved the conflict between Allen and the 14th and I also liked how Lenalee is all torn up about it, too. Over all, this was great and wonderfully powerful for something so short!
