Rhode found herself being hurled across
the bed and slammed into bedpost by Allen's feet. She bit down on her
lip hard to keep from crying out in pain. The young Noah looked to
Allen to see him sitting up and breathing heavily. He did not look
happy in the least bit.
“What the hell do you think
you're doing?!” Allen whispered as loud as he could without
waking Link, “What are you...oh God, what...” Allen
rubbed his mouth with the back of his right arm vigorously. Needless
to say, Rhode felt like she just got stabbed in the heart. Not that
she would show it.
“I would think it's obvious,”
she whispered back with a smile as she started to crawl over to him,
“I'm just claiming what's rightfully mi-...”
She was interrupted by Allen grabbing
her head and shoving her back.
“Are you trying to get me
killed?!” the exorcist replied, the anger in his voice clearer
than ever before, “They suspect me of consorting with the
enemy, now you're making it true! For someone who loves me, you seem
really desperate to see me die!”
Rhode was silent. She came here with
the intent to kill him but it turned into something completely
different. But what she did may as well have been a different kind of
death sentence if anyone had seen her. A pang of guilt struck her
right in the heart.
“I'm sorry.”
“You should be! What i-...Wait,
what?”
Allen was stunned. Rhode. Rhode Camelot
had just...apologized? Allen did a double-take then stared at the
Noah. She was currently staring at the bedsheets and was looking
downtrodden and loaded with guilt.
Is she...really capable of feeling
bad about something she did?
Allen thought to himself, After everything she's done...Can
she really?
“I'm gonna be
honest,” she mumbled, “I came here to kill you.
But...I...I can't do it. You did something to me, Allen Walker. I
don't know what it is...but I can't kill you. There's just something
too...special about you. You're nothing like other humans. You're
kind, you're tolerant, you're forgiving, you're sweet, you care for
others, you care for your friends, for your enemies, for the
akuma...Goddamn you, Allen Walker. Goddamn you for making me fall in
love.”
Allen stared at the
Noah, his expression almost completely unreadable. Whatever was going
through his head was a total mystery to Rhode. And frankly, she
wasn't sure she even wanted to know. She was almost certain that she
just made Allen hate her more than ever before. She lowered her head
and sighed before turning towards the gate of the ark.
“I'll just go
now,” she mumbled, “I...I'm sorry for the trouble. I
won't bother you aga-...”
“Join us.”
Rhode froze. She
couldn't have heard what she thought she did, it was completely
impossible. No one, not even Allen, could possibly show mercy to a
girl like...
“Join us,”
Allen repeated, “Humans really aren't as bad as you think they
are. There are many people like me out there. If you can feel this
way about me then there must be more to you than you seem to think. I
know there's a part of you that just wants to be happy and I'm sure
you can be if you join us. Please, Rhode, we could use someone
like...”
“Stop it...”
Rhode said, her teeth clenched tightly, “Don't...don't ever
compare yourself to other humans, Allen. You're nothing like them.
Not one damn thing.”
“But I am
human, Rhode,” Allen frowned, “Neither you nor I can
change that. And in the end, so are you. It's true that you're
different from normal humans, but inside, you're just as human as
me.”
Rhode paused then
sighed, “I'm not like you at all, Allen. I'm not even close to
being on your level.” She hopped off of the bed and started
walking back towards the ark gate.
“I understand
that I can never have you...but tonight, I was able to be this close
to you. I was able to open up to you. I'll never forget tonight. Not
ever. Especially since I can never have a night like this again. But
even just for one night...it was worth it....I love you, Allen
Walker.”
And with that, the
girl quietly slipped into the purple gate shortly before it vanished,
leaving no trace of the Noah or any sign that she had been there
besides the lingering taste in Allen's mouth and the return of her
scent.
Perhaps it was the
sweet taste in his mouth caused by years of too much candy.
Perhaps it was the
smell that had returned to occupying his room.
Perhaps it was the
pitiful look on Rhode's face as she confessed her love for him.
Perhaps it was the
chance that they could gain a new ally in the fight against the Earl.
Or maybe it was
something entirely different.
Whatever it was,
the events of that night would make sure that life would not remain
the same for either the exorcist or the Noah from that moment on.

So yeah. Took me a
while to do this one even though it's kind of short. But whatever.
Next one will probably be longer. Probably.
