Disclaimer: I don't own –man but I do own the name Diavo (others have stolen it *cries*) and his character.
Allen POV
His parents had sent a letter to him. They had asked him to come to their home. He was so happy. They wanted him to come home. They wanted him to be with them. They wanted… he was outside the door. He knocked on it. It was snowing. He used to hate the winter. It was harder to survive in the cold. The door opened, and he stretched out his arms towards his father, reaching out to hug him. All his father did was put a blanket in his open arms. Then he shut the door in his face. He looked at the blanket and discovered a head. It was a baby. It had to be his sibling. Was it a boy or a girl he wondered? He checked. It was a boy. It was his brother. He had a brother.
"Hey, what is your name?" he asked his little brother. "di-a-vo" his brother said.
"Diavo? That is a nice name. I am Allen. Your older brother. And don't worry. I will always be there for you." Allen said. He didn't care how he looked. He was the only family he had who seemed to love him. He didn't even find it weird that his little brother had golden eyes, gray skin and cross like scars on his forehead. He had a mangled arm, so he shouldn't judge anyway. He didn't understand that his brother were even stranger than he was. But how were a five year old supposed to know that about his one year old brother?

Diavo POV
He loved his brother over everyone else in the world. Why shouldn't he? His brother tucked him in at night when they were going to sleep. He worked so hard to keep them both fed. Whenever he had a nightmare he would be comforted by his brother. He was so caring and nice. Always staying by his side. Sometimes he suggested that he could help out with the work, but his brother would always say no, that he should take care of himself while he worked with Mana. Mana was kind to him too but not as kind as brother. He loved his brother who had promised him to always stay by him.
Mana had died. It didn't bother him because his adoptive father had died. It bothered him because Allen was so sad. He didn't like that his brother was sad. He was supposed to be happy, not being down in a time like this. He should laugh and say life would be happy for them, and that they would always be together like he used to. But he had gone cold on him after Mana died. He would only sit in front of his tombstone and cry.
A few days after Mana had died someone appeared while his brother cried. He was fat with a huge smile, and wore a top hat. He had pointed ears and glasses, holding a pink umbrella with a jack-o-lantern on top. And he spoke to Allen. "…his sole from the hated god…" then he laid his eyes on me and I felt a twinge of familiarity. But it had to be my imagination. I had never seen him before.
But then he started speaking again and I couldn't believe his words. "… It has a price. A soul for a soul so to speak. But not yours of course that would make this deal pointless. The price is your brother." I almost laughed. He obviously didn't know Allen. He would say no and take me away from the madman. But he didn't. He didn't even look at me as he agreed to the deal. "Allen? Allen?! Don't let him take me Allen! He will hurt me. And you promised you would always stay with me. You promised!" I ran to him, and held onto him. I wouldn't go. I refused. I would stay by my brother and the man could just go and die. But Allen pushed me away, towards the man. And the man grabbed me by the arm. Then what looked like a Skeleton apeard and Allen yelled out Mana's name. And Mana hit Allen in the face while cursing him. His hair turned instantly white, and a scar appeared with an upside down pentacle. I saw while he destroyed Mana with his left arm, now huge and made of metal. And then the man took me and he made us disappear through a black glowing object. That was the last time I thought I would see Allen.

I woke up one night. I had the same nightmare I had had for so long. It was of when Allen sold me to get Mana back to life. I started crying. When my tears stopped I tried to fall back to sleep, but I couldn't. And then I remembered. My teddy bear was missing. I left my room to go find it. It was with a pretty girl. She had spiky blue hair and where sound asleep, with MY TEDDY BEAR. It is wrong to call it a bear thought. It is really a dragon. I ran to the bed and snatched it back waking her up. She had the same gray skin and golden eyes as me. She also had the stigmata on her forehead. She looked at me, making me blush. But then I remembered the reason I came here.
"You stole my dragon." I snapped at her. "I need it to sleep, and also after I have a nightmare. It is mine. My brother…" my voice broke when I mentioned him. "… my brother, he made it for me." I said while tightening my grip at the dragon, afraid she would take it from me. But she didn't. Her eyes filled with worry. "You had a nightmare? You poor thing. But you don't have to be afraid any longer, sister Road is here for you." She said. She acted exactly the same way Allen did. I was happy being comforted by her. "Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked her. She just smiled and answered. "Because we are a family, brother." I fell asleep in her arms and she carried me back to my room. She tucked me in before leaving, removing the lights. "sleep well Diavo."
