Visiting Allen

Allen was in the comfort of his room when he suddenly heard a knock on his door.

"Who could that be?" He mumbled with a slight frown. "Nevermind," he concluded and went to open the door for whoever was there.

"Man, you are enjoying the comfort of a whole room all to yourself," Zane said and whisked inside the room uninvited.

"Hey, I didn't allow you in! What are you doing here?" Allen rushed back inside and grabbed the boy's wrist. "Who do you think you are that you can come into my room uninvited?" He asked him.

"What? After giving you half of all the money I made through that bet, don't you know what I want?" Zane asked him. 

"I don't know!"

Zane sighed and pulled his hand away from Allen's grip. "Look, we are compatible as friends, don't you see it? I'm the only one who can handle your madness, no one else," he replied.

Hearing what he said, Allen got upset and grabbed him by the neck, pushing him backward until his back was against the wall of his room. 

"Let me make something clear to you. A monster like me has no friends, so, you and I can never be one. It's either I kill you or you die naturally, so stop assuming something impossible!" He said, his eyes burning with rage. "Get lost!" He said and released him from his hold.

"I-I'm sorry," Zane muttered and ran out of the room in fright. 

"Good," Allen sighed in relief and went to close the door but just as he held the door to close it, someone grabbed him by the neck and pushed him to a wall. Just as he did to Zane. Looking up, he saw a red-haired boy with blue eyes. "Who are you?" He asked him.

"My name is Nathaniel Lucifer, Nat for short," the boy replied with a smirk.

"Let go of me!" Allen growled at him.

"Wasn't this just what you did to that innocent guy who wanted to be friends with you? You gave him the excuse that monsters like you have no friends, tsk!" Nat said and scoffed. "Well, devils like me need monsters like you as prisoners. It's either I kill you or I drag you down to hell with me."

"What do you want from me? I don't even know you," Allen replied.

"You have some nerve, don't you? Hurting my girlfriend... Do you think I'll let you go free?" Nat asked him as his grip on Allen's neck becomes tighter. 

Realizing that the boy before him is none other than the boyfriend to Rain, he scoffed and pushed away his hand. "If I had known you were her boyfriend, I wouldn't have let you into my room," he said with a scoff.

"What? Are you looking down on me?" Nat asked him, seeming upset already.

"Your girlfriend is stupid, I'm sure you know about that, she has no self-respect and I despise people like her a lot. Following other guys while she's in a relationship... she is the type to break your heart, don't say I didn't warn you," Allen replied with a laugh.

"Bastard, are you now making fun of me?" Nat asked angrily and opened his palms. Balls of flames appeared on them and then he shot them toward Allen. "I'm going to burn that mouth of yours!"

Allen saw the flames coming at him and so he dodged them quickly, the only downside of dodging the attack was that he ended up getting most of his things burnt down. 

"You! If you want to fight, I'll gladly accept but not in my room!" Allen replied.

Nat wasn't stupid to not know that he was wrong. He glared at Allen for a while but then, he waved his hands and the flames disappeared. Not just the flames disappearing, but those things that were burnt returned to normal — like it was never burnt in the first place.

Allen was surprised after seeing what Nat did, he didn't know that someone could have the power to return things to normal even after damaging them. 

' What could be his powers aside these flames?' He thought inwardly as he gazed at the boy.

"Why do you stare at me like that? I have a bad feeling about this," Nat said, seeing how Allen kept looking at him without breaking eye contact.

"I'm wondering what your ability is," Allen replied.

"I have so many abilities, which do you want to know?" Nat asked him with a cunning smile on his face.

"You can tell me all," Allen replied with a smirk as well. The two boys began to stare at each other, no one was ready to be the first to look away and so they each continued the stare competition until Nat's friend came into the room and saw the two of them.

"Hey, are you guys not going to fight at all? I've been waiting for that to happen for a while now," the boy said to them with a look of disappointment.

"Shut up!" The two of them yelled at the same time, causing the boy to back away.

"Come on, I was just kidding," the boy said with his hands up in the air. 

"I'll tell you all about my abilities but on one condition," Nat turned to Allen and said to him.

"What condition?" Allen asked him. 

'Meet me by midnight and I'll tell you my condition.' Nat smirked as he watched Allen's face change.

' He's able to use telepathy?' Allen thought. He was surprised that the boy could as well communicate through minds. ' Does that mean he can read my mind? No, he can't or else he would have made it known to me '

"What? Are you surprised? Or you are wondering if I can read minds?" Nat asked as he studied the expressions on Allen's face. "Well, I can read minds as well but... never mind," he said and turned to leave. He had a smirk on his face as he walked out of the room.

"Hey, don't you think you both have something in common?" Nat's friend asked Allen after his friend had left.

"And what is that?" Allen asked him with raised brows.

"Arrogance, you two are too proud of yourselves. Don't you think?" The boy asked him. 

"Get lost!" Allen said to him and pushed him out of the room. He closed his door and went to his bed where he sat down while thinking about Nat's strange abilities. "He can manipulate fire, he can return things to normal and he can use telepathy. How many more abilities could he have? The more I think about it, the more my blood boils. Copying his multiple abilities would make sense a lot," he mumbled. His face soon stretched out in a smirk at the thought of copying Nat's abilities.
