A lot of people don't like AllenXRoad (They prefer AllenXLenalee) why is that? I mean I love the AllenXLenalee coupling as well, but do people not like the AllenXRoad coupling???

i think they are cute together

Same, I like this couple and i also love AllenXLenalee. I just like both. The only thing is that RhodeXAllen is more likely to end tragically while AllenXlenalee is more happy. I still like both of them though.

i think rhode is cute

I prefer Allen&Road over Allen&Lenalee. Allen & Lenalee have a sibling relationship to me. I think Lenalee belongs to Lavi, & Lavi only. c: Don't you think so too ? O':

You do have a have point there...

i agree

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Allen and Lenali belong together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LavixLenali is too cliché/tragic-ish! *dies at the thought even though she's written a LavixLena fic*

EHH !? It would be wrong for Allen to be with Lenalee ! This is excluding the age, because age doesn't matter when you are in love. = 3=

But I think Allen can't be with Lenalee. For one...Komui would kill Allen. =______=;; But Lenalee looks at everyone as family, & her world. If one of her friends died, her world seems to crumble. She worries about each and every one of them with the same amount of worry ( and love. ) Even to Lavi. If you think about it, what if they weren't Exorcists, and were normal girls and boys. Who, most likely, would you think she would be with ? I say Lavi, because then, he wouldn't have to think about recording History and that he is BOOKMAN. ( sounds like a super hero. x D ) He would be able to express his love more freely to Lenalee, because I do think he does like her.

As for Lenalee...I still believe she would be like a sister to Allen, & vice versa. That have that kind of relationship. c:

the part where you said because age doesn't matter when you are in love. = 3= is kind of cheesy

i think they do have that kind of relationship and if they do get married the staff would hold him back or tie him up and put him in a locker

AHAHA. It may sound cheesy, but it's true. :x

/ laughs / That's true ! Komui wouldn't allow it. :'D He will kill anyone who gets near Lenalee.

true but has komui heared about lenalees legs

I prefer this over AllenxLenalee by a lot. I think, canonly speaking, Lenalee would end up with Lavi (if anyone). Allen and Lenalee interact in a more sibling kind of way, and Allen's so into the war I don't think he sees anyone in a romantic light. Lavi, on the other hand, has shown definite attraction to her through out the series, and in one of the discussion rooms admitted to liking her (but fearing Komui). Allen and Lenalee don't have a lot to give each other (they're pretty similiar), and I hate cliched pairings like this (why does the hero always have to get with the lead female? )

Back to RoadxAllen, though! Honestly, I'm not actually a shipper of this pairing (can you tell what I ship by my avatar? C= ), but if I had to choose between Allen getting with Road, or with Lenalee, I'd easily pick Road. She's soo much more interesting, and overall I love her semi-crazy attitude and cute crush on Allen. XD She's such a strong, demanding character, and if she wasn't a Noah, I can see her totally wearing the pants in their relationship. :laughs:

Ok, Allen was the first main character of any anime/manga I was able to like (THANK YOU Katsura Hoshino!!!!h)Therefore I can easily get carried away with Allen/Lenali. Lenali/Lavi is a great pairing (don't get me wrong, my twin sis believes wholly in it) but I don't think they have a substantial base. I think they would argue, Lavi would keep secrets, and Komui would never allow it under any circumstances for Lavi is much less a gentleman compared to Allen.

BTW, I like Rhode too. She's freaking amazing and hysterically funny. . She doesn't belong with Allen though. Allen needs someone NOT trying to kill him thank you (lolz She does like him alot though. I think using his body in her dream world was going a bit overboard.)

What does liking Allen a lot have to do with getting carried away with your liking of the Allena pairing? I adore Allen far more than other main characters, and I'm a Yullen fan who can easily enjoy him with other characters. You just really need to open yourself up to other pairings; I don't know if you've realized this or not, but saying things like "they belong together" is kind of offensive to people who don't like the pairing. It's rather similiar to claiming to not be open to others' opinions. ^^; You speak about views, not try to inforce them. That's what this forum's about, right?

Why would Lenalee and Lavi argue? Lavi's a pretty sensible guy, actually, and would definitely understand Lenalee more than cute, naive Allen. As for secret keeping, if Lenalee couldn't understand that it's part of his job, she wouldn't deserve him, period, and I have enough faith in her to think she'd understand (which is saying a lot, because I can't stand Lenalee most of the time). And if Komui had his way, Lenalee would get with no one, and would instead be locked in atower gaurded by a rabid army of Komurins programmed to gaurd her virginity. The fact that Allen's a man at all would instantly put him on Komui's blacklist, same as Lavi or any other man. Besides, Lavi's not really that much of a pervert: it's an act. You see moments of his utter seriousness for Lenalee's well being throughout the manga, and he gives his jacket to her so she could cover herself despite him being an alleged womanizer.

I just find that Allen with Road would be overall more interesting than him with Lenalee. It would be less cliche, and would actually be a challenge. I think the fact that they are on opposite sides of the war makes it all the better. It makes me interested. Lenalee and Allen are just too alike for their to be sparks. I want friction and conflict, not, "Oh! We're so alike we don't have to even work to get together!" Love is made through effort, not similiarities.

When it comes down to it though, Allen doesn't "need" anyone. (Referring to you stating he "needs someone NOT trying to kill him") He's a strong character all on his own, and his friendship with everyone is enough for him, and I respect his independence. I'm very much under the impression he won't get romantically involved with anyone by series end. I'd actually prefer that most of all.

In my opinion, everyone needs someone, whether it be a family member, parent, friend or lover.

BTW, when I said I could get carried away with AllenxLenali I ment because I had never taken an interest in a main character before I always enjoyed side characters like Yuu or Lavi, so Allen was a great joy for me. (I was like YES! An interesting main character)

As for Lenali and Lavi arguing, I just don't think they could get along that easy. Lavi would probably have secrets from her, Bookman would be an issue, traveling around away from people would be an issue for her- cuz you know how attached she is to her friends/family. Lavi would have to not become a Bookman- which is understandable. In my mind it just doesn't work out the same way it does with my sis.

AllenxRhode is extremely interesting- much more than something like AllenxMiranda, yet you say it would be less cliché but wouldn't it be like a RomeoxJuliet kind of thing??

' "Oh! We're so alike we don't have to even work to get together!" ' um, since when were Allen and Lenali alike? I totally disagree that love is made through effort. Yet I do believe it is not made through similarities. Love is something that should just happen upon your life. You shouldn't make it happen, and you shouldn't expect it to.

As for Lavi's seriousness, did your twin sister MAKE you READ and REENACT her freakishly LONG LavixLena story?? JEEZUS I mean her Lavi was so brilliantly serious sometimes with all his weirdo Lavi-ie Chivalry that I almost puked.

Some Peeps would probably love it- I know I really like it (ALOT) even though I'm not a LavixLena fan) it's called 'Unfinished Poem'

p.s. all these long forum posts are amazing! And despite my being straight, Yullen is freaking HOT.

What I meant was that Allen doesn't need Lenalee as a girlfriend in his life; he's got his "nakama," which seems far more than enough for him.

...I still don't get how your excitement over liking Allen so much makes you super-passionate about the Allena pairing, though... Maybe it's something you have to experience for yourself? :laughs:

I'm actually of the impression Lenalee and Lavi could get along relatively well. He's very sweet in his own sense, and I'm sure he'd be a great person to brighten up her days, and put some contrast to her occassional negative moods. Bookman is an issue in any situation, but I'm also under the impression Lavi may give up the position. He seems to be getting more and more upset with Bookman telling him to close himself off, and I don't know if Lavi will be able to keep up with it. He's growing attached.

And RoadxAllen wouldn't be as cliche as the Allena pairing (which is typical main character/heroxmain female/heroine who share similiar visions). It isn't like Romeo & Juilet because their is confliction of both their individual sides, but also themselves and their own beliefs in eachother. Romeo and Juliet were crazy in love with each other, and never doubted one another.

Allen and Lenalee are actually pretty similiar. Both are of a decidedly more "gentle" nature, and share this shining vision of the future. Each draw faith from similiar places, each are conflicted by "tragic" pasts. What seperates them most is what makes me most convinced they'll never be able to get together: Lenalee cares more for her "world" than the real one, where as Allen focuses all his abilities on the real world as a whole.

If you think love is just going to fall into your lap, "just happen into your life" I doubt you'll ever find it. Love is kind of like coal; it needs to be shaped into a diamond. Love takes patience and effort, and isn't like a puzzle; you probably won't "click" immediatedly with your one and only. No matter how much two people care for one another, love has to be faught for, and you have to try to keep it together. To quote Shakespeare (in honor of your mention of R&J) "The course of true love never did run smooth". Adversity, trials, and other opsticles will always get in the way. You will always find something about the one you love that will rub you thw wrong way. You have to try and live with it, and if you can't accept it, you don't deserve to be with them. It may sound harsh, but it's a truth in life that some romantics never want to accept (I'm a romantic, but I also hold realism pretty strongly). Love is a hard game to play, and even harder to win at, and the game never ends, even once you find someone.

This is very riveting, and quiet fun. I enjoy spirited debates like these, so thanks! As for Yullen, it is quiet the lovely couple look-wise, but I love it for the personalities involved, and how well Allen and Kanda mesh together (I should write a dissertion~). You definitely don't have to be homosexual to like it ( I mean, I'm a happy teenage girl merrily chasing attractive men X3 )

I enjoy debates like this as well . or maybe I just like to argue.

Anyway, as for my whole 'let love happen, don't make it' thing, what I mean is that love should be something you don't have to work for to get. It should come naturally- with all the downfalls as well, like arguments and disagreements. To me, having to work to love someone isn't loving them at all, it's just caring enough to show compassion.

As for Allen and Lenali, being similar..... well let's just say Lenali isn't the biggest fan of Allen's God. Therefore, their 'shining vision of the future' is rather different.

For the LavixLena situation........ maybe I'm just not a fan of Lavi (I used to be absolutely crazed about him.... even made a t-shirt of him after I got the third book .) For some unexplainable, freakish reason I just can't see them ending up together. Probably because Lavi was a character from another story idea Hoshino had, and it seems he belongs more in his own story even though his addition to D.Gray-man could be considered a stroke of genius.

RhodexAllen still seems cliché to me. Maybe it's the books I read cuz I don't see the main hero end up with the heroine very often . We must read very different kinds of books.

I don't think I'm waiting for love to find me, but I'm certainly not going around looking for it and try and work it out with someone who I THINK I might be in love with. I would prefer the feeling that I KNEW I was in love with them, I couldn't feel that the way you describe it.

rhoad is SO CUTE!!!!!!I WANT TO HUG HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Lenalee seems to be more concerned for Allen than anyone else.If you said that Komui would kill Allen if he's with Lenalee,wouldn't he kill Lavi as well?One more thing.Most of the people who watches D.Gray-Man supports Allen and Lenalee.If you don't believe me,you can check it out yourself.

Um...so? Why does that matter at all when it comes to fanfiction, or fandom? Just because Lenalee, canonly speaking, seems to show the most interest in Allen, and just because "most people" support said pairing, doesn't mean everyone must instantly conform to it, y'know? I support Yullen, even though I know it would never actually happen in the series itself, and even if it had been canon (a laughable thought XD) I would never tell an Allen/Lenalee fan that because Yullen was canon, they shouldn't support the couple. To all their own, and all that jazz, m'kay? Honestly, I don't see why so many fandom shipping tiffs occur when it's so much easier to just let everyone like what they like unquestioned...

Oh, but out of curiousity, is Allen/Lenalee really the most popular DGM couple of the fandom? I see shounen-ai couples way more in fanfiction archives, is all XD I know Yullen and Lucky both have some large, strong support bases, but I've never actually bothered to check cuz...I honestly don't rea;y care how strongly my own pairings are supported, since it doesn't actually matter in the long run, and I'd support them irregardless.
