Prologue
It was lively outside.
Curious, he walked toward the nearest window, pulling at the curtain slightly to have a peek. He could see the well decorated Christmas tree standing proudly in the park just in front of his house. Children were playing around with the snow, some even dragged their parent with them. Everyone looked so happy outside.
He smiled to himself, his eyes softening a little.
It's Christmas, he mumbled softly to no one. Though I doubt he would remember it.
Shaking his head slightly, he released the slightly pulled curtain and went back to the kitchen, preparing dinner for the soon-to-be-home couple. He had set the table in a candlelit dinner set and placed two wine glass on the table, not forgetting the beautiful red rose at the middle of the table. After satisfied with his work, he stretched himself, all the while sneaking a glance at the clock on the wall.
"Guess, I'm done for today." He whispered and went up to his room. Just like everyday of his life, Allen Walker locked himself in his room for the rest of the night.

Decision Gone Wrong
.
One may complained a lot when their parent forced them to marry to a complete stranger, but this was not the case for Allen Walker. First of all, he was an orphan. His parents had abandoned him since birth. He never dare to ask his guardian about the reason his parents abandoned him. Truth to be told, he knew the real reason his parents abandoned him.
His left arm was disfigured.
His eye and hair color was silver.
Who would accept a freak like that as a son?
Back to the main question, his marriage was actually arranged by a random man that he saved on the street. On that day, he was just taking a walk in the town when he saw a man being robbed. Not even hesitating for a bit, he beat the robbers up and hand back the money to the man. Since then, the man would walked up to him and talked to him every time they meet each other on the road. He soon learned that the man was named Froi Tiedoll.
And that was where everything went downhill.
His once peaceful life no longer exist as he need to save Tiedoll's money from being rob for a million of time. Let's put it this way, the moment Allen managed to get the robbers to return the money to Tiedoll, another robber turned up from behind and stole something else from him. He honestly had no idea how the man had survived all along.
Even though his once peaceful live is gone, but Allen was okay with it. After all, Tiedoll accept him for who he really are. Tiedoll never requested for him to take off his hood or gloves even when they were all alone. Somehow, it made Allen feel secure when he was with Tiedoll. Although, he must admit that Tiedoll worried too much for his son. Usually, Allen would just nodded his head when Tiedoll asked him about his son, Kanda Yuu, pretending that he was paying full attention to the man when in fact, he was not.
Well, until that day, that is.
"I heard that Yuu had a lover… Do you think he'll make a good son-in-law?"
Allen almost choked on his cup of water. Coughing slightly, he regained his posture and stared at Tiedoll in disbelieve.
"… Pardon me for asking, but aren't your son only 17 now?"
"Why, yes. He is 17 now." Tiedoll answered as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.
"And you are worried about his lover not being a good daughter-in-law now?" No matter how Allen looked at it, it was way too early for Tiedoll to take things too seriously. Well, at least not on this matter.
Tiedoll smiled warmly at Allen,
"Allen, I said son-in-law."
"I heard you. Like I said- Wait what!?"
They stared at each other for a while, before Allen went away from his frozen state.
"… Your son likes man…?" It was not a question, but a statement.
Probably the wrong button to push, Tiedoll started to look gloomy.
"I, I mean, Tiedoll, it is not abnormal for your son to like a man…" Okay, he'll admit it. He was trying to convince himself as well.
"Really?"
"Y-Yeah."
"So it's normal?"
"I guess so?"
"But what if that man was just attracted to Yuu's look and tricked him into becoming his lover? Oh, my poor Yuu!" Tiedoll started to weep.
"Well, erm…" How was he suppose to make Tiedoll feel better?
"That's it!" Tiedoll suddenly looked at Allen with sparkling eyes.
"Er... Tiedoll?" Somehow, Allen does not like where things were going.
"You are marrying my son, Allen Walker!"
"And how is that suppose to help, Tiedoll?!"
"Well, I trust you for turning my son straight again."
Oh, trust Tiedoll and his idea.
"Tiedoll," he breathed in deeply, "As you can see, I am a male as well."
"..."
"..."
"Allen, I just need you to make sure Yuu's lover is loyal to him."
"And by me marrying your son, how is that helping?"
"So that you have some power to control Yuu?"
Honestly speaking, sometimes he feel like murdering Tiedoll.

Decision Gone Wrong
.
He could feel the killing intent radiating from Kanda Yuu. Pretending that he was not there, he wisely picked the cup nearest to his side of the table and drink it, hoping that this could make himself look less suspicious.
"Old man, I have Alma already. I don't need a suspicious man in my life!"
"But Yuu, Allen is a really good boy. You will like him!"
"What's with his hood and gloves then?! It is still summer if you didn't realize!"
"That is something personal, Kanda Yuu." Allen answered for Tiedoll and quickly went back to drink his cup of coffee when he realize he just spoke. He was planning to become an invisible man for god sake!
"Personal huh? Like I would give a fuck-"
"Language, Yuu! You are marrying Allen and that's final! I don't care if you still date Alma but I want Allen as my official son-in-law!"
For the second time, Allen almost choked himself on his coffee.
Ah, there goes my peaceful life…

A/N : Hey there! It's been a while~ Well, actually I tried to continue Parallel World but it didn't end up well... I was stuck there for the whole hour, facing writer's block for that story... Anyway, this story I'm not sure if I will face writer's block in the future (Probably yes but who knows?) but I'll try to prevent from making this story goes hiatus. Parallel World is a good enough example D8 I'm feeling guilty for it...
