I complete forgot that I mentioned a Yullen fic after finishing T14R. The reason why I haven't posted that is because the fanart isn't finished for it but it will happen. This fic is rated T...for now...not sure if that'll change...probably not...I really didn't know whether or not to post this but since I've been so damn busy for Laven week, I'll keep on updating these stories...*sigh* I have a job interview tomorrow :l wish me luck...

It was raining again.

Usually, Allen really liked the rain. He wasn't sure why he liked the rain...maybe it was the refreshing smell that came after the rain or just the feeling of the raindrops streaming down his face and his hair. Overall, he really liked rain. He tended to think about things that mattered most to him when it rained because of the day his father died it was raining. Even if he missed his father, and felt sad that he was gone, he was reminded that there were still many things that he had in his life. He had his friends and his cheerful uncle and even his dreadful guardian that tended to disappear on him. Despite the loss of his father, he still had things that could make him happy in life.

However, right now, Allen didn't really appreciate the rain all that much.

Since his guardian had decided to ditch him again, he was forced to walk in the rain to his uncle's house, which was about five miles away from the school. Normally, that didn't seem like a lot, but one, it was raining and two, he was walking...and it was cold. He always kept an umbrella in his locker for situations like these so he wasn't really getting wet, but that didn't mean that he wasn't cold. He felt irritable since Lavi and his friends were quite persistent in making him seem like a bad person today. Lavi, Lenalee, and Kanda were a trio that was respected by all of the school. Kanda was pissy, Lavi was joyful, and Lenalee was kind. They had many other connections in the school as well.

His rivalry with them was quite ridiculous.

To be honest, Allen actually liked them, especially Lavi...and he didn't just like Lavi, he loved him. Or well, he used to. Last year, when he was a Freshman, he may or may not have embarrassingly stalked them. They were like role models to him...okay, maybe with the exclusion of Kanda, but they were still the kind of people he wanted to hang around. Their rivalry all started on the day that his guardian had been pestering him to get money and alcohol for him that night. Because of said pestering, Allen found himself quite irritable with everything. So, when he bumped into Kanda and the prat replied with a cruel 'watch where you're going'...well, he was not in the mood and fired a counter back at him. That had been his first mistake. Apparently, Kanda was quite a violent person.

It was the first fight Allen had ever gotten involved with.

They were both sent to the principal's office and the principal knew Kanda personally so he was let off with a warning while Allen was given a suspension for a day. It ticked him off, really. Kanda was the one to throw the first punch so you would think that he would get a suspension. Oh yes, Allen was pissed, but he wouldn't dare fight with the principal. Instead, he calmed himself down and told him that it gave him more time to get things for Cross, his guardian, without having to think about his education. Actually, when he got home, Cross praised him for getting suspended. Since then, him and Kanda hadn't been on good terms and since they weren't on good terms, Lavi and Lenalee didn't like him either. Allen remembered once Lenalee had bumped into him on accident and made him drop all his books.

Despite her constant kindness, she didn't life a finger to help him.

Yes, being despised by Kanda was quite a hassle. He somehow managed to piss Lavi off while rambling to Kanda of how bad of a person he was. Allen learned his lesson from last time and didn't dare get into a fight with Lavi. It seemed that the odds were always in their favor. Yes, Allen would always fight back with Kanda whenever he was in his presence, but he would do his best to avoid all three of them. It was hard doing so when everyone was their friend...which was one of the reasons Allen didn't make friends at school. He made friends with anyone outside of school...or someone from another school. There were actually times that Allen ran into people who literally wanted to beat him up. But, because of Cross' training, he managed to avoid a lot of trouble with bullies. No, he didn't hit them, he just dodged and ran. He only used his skills for defense, he would never hit another person.

It was just against his morals.

He sighed again, looking up to see a familiar sign. That was his indication that he only had a mile left to walk. He supposed that he could have always called Neah, but then again, whenever Allen came to his house after school, he wasn't awake. And by then, it was already four in the afternoon. He wasn't really tired anyways because of Cross' difficult training. Besides, Neah did have a constant need to spoil him and if Allen let him do that, he'd become unfit and that would be quite bad since there were people who were constantly after his head. Not literally, but still. He was not going to allow Neah to spoil him. Allen's thoughts were cut short when he heard a car coming towards him. Yes, it was raining, but that car must have been speeding or had a really bad engine. Tch, as long as they don't swerve at me I really don't care...I'm almost home anyways. Allen thought, feeling a bit relieved.

That relief was replaced with anger when the car drove a little too close to him and splashed water all over him.

Oh yes, Allen was upset, but he would not get too mad. It was an accident so Allen would treat it like that. Besides, he was almost to his uncle's house anyways and he planned on dressing out of his current wear since he had gotten his pants wet from walking in puddles. So really, there was nothing to worry about, nothing to stress over...until the people who were in the van made their appearance. After splashing Allen with water, they decided to halt their vehicle and let him walk past them. They must have expected Allen to be some enraged guy to scold them...or they just wanted to apologize. Once Allen made it to the passenger seat window, he kept on walking, even as they rolled their window down.

It was Lavi.

Of all the damn people in the world, it had to be them. Oh yes, now Allen was pissed. They could have tried mocking him by doing that. He glared at the redhead and kept irritably walking...or well, the way he was quickly walking made it seem like he was storming. It was then that Lenalee exited the vehicle and ran over to him, her hood pulled up. He did not stop, neither did he really pay her any mind. She stuttered a few times as if she didn't know what to say. Honestly, Allen expected her to mock him or something or even walk away. He did not expect her to apologize. Or offer him a ride. "Um...look...that was a-an accident...I'm s-sure K-Kanda didn't mean to do that..."

"I'm sure he did." Allen replied coldly and shivered a little.

"Well, it's not like he really knew who you were at the moment..." She mumbled and Allen stared at her suspiciously as she shivered from the rain. Yes, she was wearing a hoodie, but she was also in a very short skirt.

"Whatever, I don't care." He muttered.

"W-well if you want...we can take you home...as an apology..."

There was no way in hell Allen was leading them to where his uncle lived.

"No thank you." He grumbled before adding, "I do not want help from you guys. I'm almost home anyways." He grumbled and stared at the van, which was quite far away and turned off. Lenalee pulled out her phone and texted someone before shoving it in her pocket. He then saw the van start towards them.

"See ya later, Lenalee!" Lavi chirped and Allen stared at her incredulously.

"This is my street." She explained as they drove off. Allen sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

He really didn't want to do this...

"Open your hand." He muttered.

"Huh?" She asked intelligently. Allen huffed and grabbed her wrist, placing the handle of the umbrella in her hand. She blinked a few times. Allen grumbled and started walking off.

"I don't need it. I'm already soaked." He explained, blushing. Lenalee's eyes widened as she stared at the umbrella.

"I'll give it back Monday!" She shouted and he shook his head.

"There's no need." He mumbled even though he knew she wouldn't hear it and turned down a road. She bit her lip, wondering why Allen would possibly help her out if they didn't even like each other. She stood there for a few minutes before deciding that she best be going home now.

Allen opened the door to his uncle's house and heard a high pitched squeal instantly resound in the air. "Allen! I didn't know you were coming over! You should have told me! I would have prepared some lunch! Oh wait...you already had lunch at school, huh? Well, I would've made you some dinner then! Or wait maybe an appetizer...eh? Why are you all wet? Did you walk here?! You could get a cold! Hurry up and go change before you get the flu!" Neah chided, pushing him towards his room.

Allen did just that. He changed into some sweatpants and a large t-shirt. He was always quite fond of large clothes that were too big for him. It was easy to move around in and overall more comfortable. Whenever he was at Neah's house, he never feared that someone would see his arm since Neah tended to be alone...besides, he didn't really associate with Neah's friends so he really didn't care what they saw him as and they'd probably be banished from the house if they insulted him in front of Neah. When Allen finished dressing, he didn't go back out, he laid down in his bed and dragged the comforter over his head, turning off the light. He really didn't want to sleep in tomorrow since he could do so much in that time, not to mention he was extremely tired. So, Allen went to sleep at four in the afternoon.

He didn't wake up until ten o'clock the next morning.

There was something Allen really didn't like when he lived with Neah and that was that he tended to not care what state Allen was in when he left the room, especially when there was people over. Allen figured that Neah was quite the opposite of his father since he didn't have many manners. He knew what to expect every morning whenever he stayed here. He knew that if he stepped one foot out the door then Neah would instantly grab a hold of his hand and yank him into the dining room for breakfast. It always happened. Yet, even though Allen knew this, he was still quite out of it and was completely surprised when Neah started dragging him out of the room. Can't I just wake up normally and relax for once?

Apparently not at Neah's house.

"Neah noooo..." Allen whined as his uncle sat him down in a chair.

"Don't 'no' me! You didn't even come out to eat dinner yesterday!" Neah scolded and then started his worrisome ranting. Allen wasn't listening, of course. He never did listen to what Neah had to say... "...seriously, Allen, why would you go and worry me like that?! I swear one of these days-"

"One of these days you're gonna talk my ears off." Allen muttered and laid his head on his arms to rest on the table. He felt a small smile pull at his lips when Neah huffed with annoyance.

"Won't you be polite? I have guests over!" Neah announced.

"Says the one who's neglecting said guests to make me breakfast. I can make my own food, you know..." Allen said, his voice muffled by his sleeves. He felt sick, to be honest. It was probably because he didn't properly dry off when he went to sleep.

"I'm not really...but..." Neah hummed to himself, thinking of a retort. Sighing, Neah placed a plate beside Allen's head as well as a glass of orange juice before walking back into the living room to talk with his 'guests'. At first, Allen started wolfing down his breakfast. He started to slow down when he realized that the voices in the living room were familiar. Frowning, Allen slowly chewed and tried to process who they were.

"Che, maybe if you weren't so fucking annoying..."

...Kanda...?

If Kanda is here, then that must mean...Allen paused and took a long sip from his drink. I see. He put it back down and stood up, trying not to make any noise as he put his dishes in the sink. I never would've thought that Neah could be friends with them...maybe I can manage to sneak out without them noticing...perhaps...he thought and headed toward the back door that was located in the kitchen. He froze when the doorbell rang. Biting his lip, he silently slid on a jacket over his t-shirt and stepped out of his house, closing the door behind him carefully. Once he managed to get out safely, he ran to the front porch and stiffened when he saw Narain there. Oh no...if Narain sees them...he's gonna get really mad...Allen thought and blanched when Neah opened the door.

"Ah. Narain. What do you want?" He asked bluntly. Narain's eyebrow twitched.

"Um...is Allen here?"

"Why of course! He's eating breakfast right now, Allen, your friend is here!" Neah called.

It was silent.

Frowning, Neah called for him again. "That's weird...he was just eating breakfast..." Neah mumbled and headed over towards the kitchen.

"Psst!"

Blinking a few times, Narain looked around and spotted Allen in a nearby bush. He sweat dropped and looked back to Neah who was in the kitchen and heading towards Allen's room. "Allen, what are you doing in the bushes?" Narain asked incredulously.

"SH!" He shushed and motioned for Narain to come over. Luckily, the brunet spotted Neah walking back and shoo'd Allen away.

"I...don't really...know where he went..." Neah said, dumbfounded. "Maybe if I call him..."

"No!" Narain quickly interjected and Neah rose an eyebrow at him suspiciously. "I, uh, just remembered something! I have an appointment today and Allen is probably really busy, so I'll just, uh, go...to my...appointment...er...maybe Allen went for a walk...to calm himself...or something..." Lenalee sweat dropped at Narain's obvious cover ups.

"I guess..." Neah mumbled and pocketed his phone. Everyone sweat dropped at his gullible actions.

"Right, well, I'll be off..." Narain said awkwardly and waved. Neah shrugged and left the doorway, closing the screen door and sitting on the couch to continue his conversation with Lavi, Lenalee, and Kanda.

"What an idiot..." Allen mumbled and Narain snorted as he walked off the porch. He followed Allen and the teen hid himself behind their pink trashcan.

"Why did you sneak out?" Narain asked, quirking an eyebrow. Allen huffed and tried to think of an explanation.

"I'm sick." He mumbled. It wasn't even a lie really...

"Okay...?" Narain trailed off invitingly. He could tell by the thickness in Allen's accent that the younger was sick, but why would he want to avoid his uncle because of it? Allen rolled his eyes.

"You know how crazy he gets when I get hurt, right? Well, if he knew I was sick he'd pamper me like a kitten!" Allen muttered. It was a bit scary that his lies weren't even lies at the moment.

"Oh yeah...he does go kinda crazy, huh?" Narain thought aloud and Allen nodded with agreement. The brunet stared down at Allen's clothes. "You didn't bother getting dressed, did you?" He asked and Allen blushed. The younger was dressed in his overly large outfit from last night. He hadn't even combed his hair or brushed his teeth.

"Well...I didn't really get ready when I got out of my room. Neah forced me to eat breakfast because I went to sleep without dinner last night..." Allen explained.

"That's reasonable I suppose, but I'm not going out in public with you looking like that." He joked.

"I don't really feel like going out in public anyways..." Allen muttered and then looked at Narain brightly. "Can we just go play games at your house?"

"I don't know...my sister has been awfully sick lately...I kinda don't want to disturb her..." Narain mumbled before humming in thought. "How about we call up Rikei? I would say Shifu, but he'd probably force us to do homework or something...and Lou Fa's got a big crush on you and Fou just might crush you...then again, I think Rikei ships you and Lou Fa or something..." The two of them laughed, but not too loudly since they were still in Allen's lawn. It led to a small coughing fit from Allen and Narain frowned at him. "Maybe it's just best if you stayed home..."

"I don't want to stay home." ...especially not with those three there...Allen thought that last part to himself.

"I understand where you're coming from, but if you want I'll just stay over, you know, ward Neah off every time he tried coming into your room?"

"That sounds boring."

"Well, you're not going to get any better if you don't rest." Narain chided.

"I suppose I should take your word for it Dr. Narain, huh?" Allen asked mischievously.

"Why of course!" Narain said and posed with his chest out proudly. They both laughed again and Allen ended up coughing again. "But seriously, if you're sick, you should just get some rest."

"I guess...but I really don't wanna go in there..." Allen mumbled with a small cough. "I do suppose I might end up giving you my sickness if I do stay with you..." Allen sighed to himself. If Neah was friends with that trio then he'd have to face them sooner or later. "I'll go rest...but we need to hang out soon." He nagged.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll text you, alright?"

"Alright..." Allen sighed and gave Narain a hug. He knew Narain wasn't really touchy or anything and it was probably a bad idea since he was sick, but he hadn't really seen Narain for a long time...and the one time he comes to hang out with me, I'm sick...Allen thought glumly.

"Aha! I knew it!" The both of them were startled when they heard Neah shout from the doorway.

"Jesus Christ!" Allen shouted and turned to glare at Neah. "What the hell, Neah?" He grumbled. Narain looked around warily. Neah stepped off the porch and walked over to them.

"Narain suddenly appearing and then you disappear? Of course something was up!" Neah said and crossed his arms. Allen narrowed his eyes at him.

"What are you going on about? I was already leaving the house when Narain came over." He muttered bitterly. Neah gasped.

"Why would you leave the house?!" He asked accusingly.

"Because he's sick and he didn't want you to worry about him." Narain answered with a smirk and Allen paled. He looked over towards the brunet with a horrified expression.

"You traitor..." He whispered.

"Sorry, Allen, but it's for your own good." He smirked.

"SICK?!" Neah exclaimed and suddenly started dragging Allen off. Allen glared at Narain and pointed an accusing finger at him as Neah pulled him inside.

"I'll get you for that!" He snapped.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be waiting then!" Narain called and laughed, walking down their driveway.

Neah was murmuring things as he dragged Allen through the house and into his room. Lavi, Kanda, and Lenalee watched in awkward silence until Allen tripped over Lenalee's foot and bumped into Neah, sending them both falling. Lavi stood up to help prevent Neah from falling, but entirely missed the older man and caught Allen instead. Neah managed to catch himself on the wall and looked over to help Allen but froze when he saw the scene before him. Lavi did catch him, but because he was planning on catching Neah around the middle, he was also planning to plant his face in his chest to keep himself from falling over. However, Allen was much shorter than Neah so rather, it looked like Lavi was staring into Allen's eyes.

What made it worse was that Allen used to love Lavi.

Allen's face burned with heat and he found himself speechless. It seemed that he wasn't the only one who was speechless either. Lenalee, Kanda, and Neah all stared at the two in absolute shock. Allen tried saying something, he really did, but he had no idea what to say. Was he supposed to say thank you? Was he supposed to push Lavi away? Honestly he didn't really trust his voice at the moment, so what was he supposed to do. Luckily, Allen didn't have to do anything. Just then, Neah realized what was going on and raged. He raged so hard. He grabbed Allen away from Lavi and started rambling on words that Allen recognized as slurred Portuguese. He just sat on the floor, having no idea what to do. Lenalee also didn't know whether she should intervene or not and Kanda didn't really understand what the fuck was going on. Allen did feel like he owed Lavi a bit though, even if it was just a little.

"Um...N-Neah..." Allen said softly, causing all eyes to be on him. Neah's expression softened and he stopped shouting in a different language.

"Yes, Allen~?" He asked, helping the boy off the floor.

"Um..."

I really hate doing this. Allen thought as he pulled off the most cute and innocent look he could muster. It usually only ever came in handy when Neah was around. Or pedophiles...definitely pedophiles.

"Um...I...d-don't feel good..." He said, blushing madly and looking away. Neah squealed and hurriedly picked him up like a little kid. Lenalee could see Allen's eye twitching with anger, but he seemed to be able to hold it in.

Today was going to be a long day...

"That's right, you've got to rest now! I'll make some soup! Are you feeling hot? I'll get you some medicine too! Oh yeah, does your head hurt? Because usually when you have a fever..."

He was rambling again.

Once Neah carried him to his room, he tucked him into bed and left, returning back with a glass of cold water and pain medication. Ah yes...Neah had never really been good at taking care of sick people. "Um, um, um...is there anything else you need, Allen?" Privacy...Allen inwardly answered.

"No..." Allen said softly and closed his eyes.

"Are you sure? I'd hate to leave you by yourself...oh! I've got an idea!" Neah left the room and came back quickly...with Lavi in tow. "As punishment for your perverted move earlier ago, you have to watch on Allen!" Neah declared. Allen's eyes snapped open.

"What?!" They both shouted together. Neah smirked at what he thought was the best idea ever.

Oh yes, lock a pervert in a room with the person he was molesting as punishment.

Simply brilliant.

"Ne, it's a good thing your lock is on the outside, eh Allen?" Neah said with a wink and closed the door. It was completely silent besides the small click they heard on the outside.

"...um..." Lavi trailed off. "Your uncle is nuts." He commented.

Oh yes, today was definitely going to be a long day.

Locks on the outside of doors annoy the shit out of me. My lock is on the outside and I've been so tempted to flip the doorknob around but I just don't know how. Anyways, I thought this would be quite interesting. In High School AUs (or just AUs in general), everyone usually gets along well with Allen so I thought 'well, what if they hated him for some reason?' and yeah...this happened...don't question me about Narain's presence...I really like him for some reason...even if he was only in one episode...I...don't know why...but I really like him...
Tyki: *mutters* pedophile...
Vira: I do not need to hear that from you.
Tyki: -~- what's that supposed to mean?
Vira: Nothing...anyways, I'm going to be updating either this, HOD, or AHTSBS (Dragon story) each week at least once. Depending on which one gets the most reviews or which one I'm in the mood for, that's the one I'm updating...oh yes, I am so smart ;D Well, I hope you enjoyed the chapter! ^-^
