Notes
Written for fic_promptly, for the prompt "D. Gray-man, Kanda+any, in which a Japanese expatriate thinks he recognises a kinsman", under the theme "language barrier". What country are they in? I don't know, but one where only Lavi speaks the language, for the sake of convenience. I haven't read or watched dgm in a looong time but it holds a special spot in my heart, as Lavi was my first ever cosplay a million years ago.
The longer the man spoke, the deeper Kanda’s scowl became. By the time he had finished talking, he looked ready to kill.
Lavi snickered beside him, snickering turning into laughter once the glare was turned his way. “Sorr- sorry.” Still laughing, he raised a hand in front of him. “Want me to tell him you don’t know any Japanese?”
“I don’t care. We’re leaving.”
Kanda turned, heading for the train. Lavi barely had time to say goodbye to the confused stranger on the platform before hurrying after him.
His grin was wide as he sat down in the seat next to Kanda. “Hey, want me to teach you some?”
For a long moment, Kanda stared at him before turning his eyes out the window, the train slowly starting to roll. “Not interested.”
Not listening, Lavi decided to teach him some anyway.
