Decision Gone Wrong
Chapter 9
.
"Allen, I like you. Please go out with me!"
I really hate this guy.
Pulling his brother's hand, Neah pulled Allen away from the boy. Allen, who was still dumb shock with what just happened, just followed his brother silently.
Neah was beyond pissed.
Who does that boy think he is?! Blushing every time he saw Allen, shuddering every time he talked to Allen, looking dreamily at Allen all the time- Neah always have the urge to punch the boy in the face every time they meet unexpectedly in the park.
"Oh, what a coincidence. We meet again."
What kind of bullshit was that?! It was damn obvious that this Malcom Leverrier stalked them enough to know when Neah and Allen would go to the park and play!
"Wait, Allen! Listen to me- Allen!"
"Ignore him, Allen." Neah gripped harder on Allen's hand, waking Allen up from his dumb-shocked state.
Leverrier's shout was slowly getting softer and softer before fading away in the air.
"Neah, did he just..."
"I said, ignore him. He's bad news."
"I know... But..."
By then, Allen had stopped his own tracks, forcing Neah to come to a stop as well.
"But what?"
"...I have bad feeling about this, Neah."
"You want to accept that bastard's feeling?!"
"No! I don't like him that way!"
Neah breathed in relief, his grip relaxing.
"It's just that... I feel that something bad will happen if we just leave him behind like that..."
"And I always have a bad feeling every time he approach us."
Allen raised his left eyebrow, staring at Neah with a knowing look.
"You're... jealous all this while, aren't you?"
"No I'm not!"
Chuckling at his brother's response, Allen patted Neah.
"Sure you're not."
"I'm not."
"Yes yes, you're the best brother ever and I will never leave you for anyone. Happy?"
"...Yes."
It was a soft mumble, but Allen could hear it.
Smiling at his brother once again, he reached his hand out to Neah,
"Come on, let's go home."

"..."
"..."
They both looked at each other with poker face.
"So... Any idea what is this suppose to be?" Allen was the first to break the silence.
"... No." Neah looked down at the sticky note on Allen's hand once again. He squinted his eyes to get a clearly image of what it was on the note.
It's probably just me and my bad eye sight.
Both of them had rubbed their eyes and even slapped each other in the face just to see if the note was just an illusion of theirs. Both of them rubbed their red cheek with a bag of ice, eyes never breaking contact with the note.
"A prank? Maybe..." Neah suggested.
"I don't really understand what the note was trying to tell us, actually."
Their eyes meet once again, the Walkers let out a sigh together.
The note was left on the table.
"Allen Walker, you better watch out."
.

"Get away from him, you sickening freak."
"You should just die."
"One more step closer to him and I'll kill you. I'm serious."
The notes were everywhere. It seems like the one who sent the notes went to the same school as them, seeing that the notes could be found under Allen's locker as well.
Or maybe it was a stalker.
Even when Allen threw the notes away in the trash, another note would appear on his desk.
"Do you think you can escape from me, Walker?"
"Just disappear, no one loves you. Even your brother."
Allen had hidden all those letters from Neah, fearing that the letters would make Neah worry about him. However, the longer he keep them, the longer he feel insecure.
Was Neah feeling what this stalker felt? Did Neah ever thought of him as a freak? Did Neah ever wished for his death?
He was always rejected by everyone around him, even his parents. He'd done nothing wrong, but everyone would just put the blame on him when something went wrong. He done his best to be the successor of the Walkers, but his parents never praise him for it, in fact, he would be the main reason for everything bad.
The books were missing, Allen must have stolen it.
The stove's not working, Allen must have spoiled it.
Neah's hurt, Allen must have beat him.
His parents knew it well, they knew that Allen would never hurt Neah.
They knew,
Yet they still blame him for everything.
"Allen would never do such thing!"
Neah was the only one that stood by his side every time their parents scolded him.
Neah was the only one that accept him in his life.
Neah was the only one that treated him like a human.
But who was he to Neah?
Had Neah ever hated him for being his brother? His silvered color hair and eyes - Everyone hated it.
Did Neah ever felt disgusted with it?
"Just disappear, no one loves you. Even your brother."
He was so scared.
He was afraid that Neah would hate him one day, and leave him behind to face the cruel world alone.

"I warned you."
How had this happened?
The cold knife was buried deeper into his stomach as the attacker applied more force to it. Allen could do nothing but to scream in pain. Both of his hands were placed on his attacker, attempting to push the attacker away from him, but it was all in vain.
He was too weak, compared to the attacker.
"I warned you not to get near Leverrier."
It was then everything clicked.
"So it was you..."
His attacker grinned at him,
"Finally figure it out?"
"I never thought you'd-"
"Allen!"
Allen looked to the side, panicked. Why is Neah here?
"You, What are you doing to Allen?!" Neah was screaming at the attacker.
No, get away from him, he'll kill you!
Allen saw his attacker raising the silver metal and stabbed it towards Neah.
No!
"RUN NEAH!"
It all happened in a split second.
He had pushed Neah to the ground, but Neah was all red.
Did he not make it in time?
Neah was staring at him with a disbelieved look.
.
"Just disappear, no one loves you. Even your brother."
.
Was Neah blaming him for not saving him in time?
How can he not make it in time?
He was so close to Neah, he should have made it!
He should have-
"I'm sorry, Neah."
Everything went black.

.
"Ha... Hahahaha! Now Leverrier will look at me!"
He could hear the sickening laughter of the attacker beside him.
Why was the attacker laughing?
Allen was still lying on top of him - He could feel Allen's blood soaking his clothes wet. His face was full with blood, but it was not his.
It was Allen's.
Allen had shield him from the attack.
.
"I'm sorry, Neah."
.
Why was Allen apologizing to him?
Why did Allen looked so broken at his last moment?
Books fell to the floor heavily, Neah could hear someone else standing behind him. He looked around for the attacker, but there was no sign of the attacker.
"...Allen?" It was Leverrier.
"Don't call him!" Neah hissed at him, sitting up and pulled Allen's corpse close to his own body. Allen's body was getting colder, but Neah argued to himself,
Allen is just feeling cold, as long as I give him some warmth, he'll wake up.
"What did you do to Allen?"
Allen'll wake up... He will wake up...
"What did you do to him?!"
He will.
"Neah Walker, what had you done to your own brother?!"
Wake up, just wake up.
Don't leave me like this.
"NEAH WALKER YOU MURDERER!"
.
"Ha... Hahahaha! Now Leverrier will look at me!"
.
He glared at Leverrier hard, if looks could kill, Leverrier would be dead then.
Allen's dead... because of this bastard?
This good for nothing bastard?
"... Who's the real murderer I wonder?"
Tears streamed down his cheeks.
Who indeed?
The attacker that attacked Allen, or Leverrier?
If Leverrier never exist, Allen would not be killed.
So who's at fault?
"YOU, MALCOM LEVERRIER ARE THE REAL MURDERER!"
.

"... I need to go back."
"Back to where?"
"Kanda's."
Grabbing Allen's wrist hard, Tyki pulled Allen back into his room.
"You're not thinking straight."
"I am, Tyki. Now let go of me."
"Leverrier will be there, it's too dangerous."
"Kanda's there!"
"But they know nothing!"
Shocked at Tyki's tone, Allen stared at him with wide eyes.
"They know nothing, Allen. They can't protect you from that bastard."
Allen could not argue with that, but his sixth sense was asking him to get back to Kanda.
He wanted to go back.
Tyki was right. If he never open up to Kanda, how will they understand his situation? And Alma, that guy had tried to be friendly to him, even after seeing his hair and eyes color. Tiedoll too, everyone was treating him well back there. Not to say that Tyki was bad, but he could literally picture out how worried they will be now that he left the house. To make it worst, some random stranger suddenly went to the door, asking for his presence, how worried will they be?
He wanted to tell them everything.
About Allen, about Neah.
He wanted to tell them the full story of what happened in the past.
There are chances that they might hate him or even feel disgusted with him after knowing everything, but at least he tried, right?
"... I want to try, Tyki."
"No. And that's that."
"I want them to know the truth."
"Allen-"
"Please, Tyki Mikk."
"... Promise me you'll feel no regrets about this."
"No regrets."

TBC
A/N : Neah and Allen are brothers and both of them does exist in the past. This chapter speaks more on how Allen died in the past. Allen was the personality the scientist tried to make Neah into. Say, I just realize something... The flow of the story seems... stuck... Damn. Guess, I'll try to cut down the amount of what happened in the past events for the future chapters. At least until the present is not stuck over there... I will try...
BTW, why does everyone assuming Link as the one who was in love in Leverrier? Just curious. (Asked some other friends in school who will they pair Leverrier with, "Link... I guess?" was the answer I got) Not like I can imagine Leverrier with anyone... ^^lll
Sorry about the late update
