Prologue JBYaM

'You know he likes you, right?.'

The words still linger in my head. Could he really like me? I've never been so confused in my life. Why did Lenalee have to say that? Couldn't she just have kept that to herself? How could he like me, that's just absurd! He's one of my close friends he shouldn't like me like that.
"... en."
...Do I like him like that? No, that's impossible.
"...llen!"
I'm not gay. I am as straight as a board, nothing can bend me.
"ALLEN!"
"Waa! Y-yes?"
"I've been trying to get your attention for ages!," exclaimed my best friend Lenalee.
"You have? I'm sorry, I was just thinking." I said.  I looked around and it seems that while I was in my thoughts we had left the Wal-Mart we had been in and were now walking back to her house which was just a mile or so away. The autum leaves were just starting to fall, I noticed as I pulled my hoodie closer to my body, a slight breeze passing by.
"What could you possibly be thinking about?," Lenalee stated.
I sighed, "About what you told me yesterday. I just don't get it! How in the world could he like me?"
"Well, you are pretty cute and you're such a gentleman-"
"What does me being a gentleman have to do with anything!?"
"If you let me finish what I was saying you can find out," she said sounding slightly annoyed.
"...sorry."
"As I was saying, he probably likes you because your so nice and considerate and you're not self-centered like some people."
"Oh, I see. But... I still don't see how he could like me. I mean, we're both guys! And I thought he only liked older women with big boobs," I stated.
"Oh Allen, poor sweet, naive Allen. Did you not know that he's bisexual?"
"What? No way. Really!? I did not know that. ...Since when?," I asked, dazed and confused.
"Well I'm not exactly sure, but if it helps, he's been like that ever since I've know him," Lenalee stated.
"But, Lenalee, you've know him since you were five."
"I guess. I just haven't put a lot of thought into his sexual orientation. It's his business on who he dates not mine. He just happens to like girls more than guys," she said as she shrugged her shoulders.
"I guess you're right. But... what guys has he dated?," I asked, also wondering if we were lost because it did not look like we were near Lenalee's house. Although the direction we were going did look familiar.
"Well! Aren't you interested in his love life?"
"Am not!"
"I'm just joking, Allen, no need to get all frustrated. As for your question, he has dated Kanda."
I swear, if I had been drinking something it would have been all over Lenalee at this moment. "Wait a minute, he dated Kanda? I just can't believe that."
"You better believe it Allen because they did date, even if it was only for a week." she said, her face totally serious.
"A week? What happened to only make it last a week?"
"To put it simply, he didn't want to ruin their friendship. ...Plus, Kanda, till this very day, insists that he is straight. And, frankly, I believe him," Lenalee told me.
"I see. I can't quite see anyone dating Kanda. He seems to abusive, always carrying that katana around and everything," I shrugged.
"Hmm, I guess your right," she said.
We walked in silence for awhile, the leaves rustling beneath our feet as we walked to our destination, whatever that was, seeing as we were now nowhere near Lenelee's house anymore. I looked around trying to figure out where we were headed, there was a couple of trees here and there, a closed swimming pool, and a gated housing complex up ahead that looked somewhat familiar. It looked almost like the community his house was at.
"Ah... Lenalee?"
"Yes, Allen?"
"Um, isn't this where... ah... he lives?" I asked tentatively.
"Yes. Didn't I tell you we were coming here?" she asked confused.
"Um, not that I can remember," I answered, "Why exactly are we going there then?"
She just shrugged her shoulders and said, " I don't know, just felt like going I guess."
"Then why did you bring me along knowing full well that he likes me?" I exclaimed.
"Because I didn't want to walk all the way here by myself and if you didn't take me I'd get Komui to hunt you down and bring you here instead."
I shuttered, very scared at the idea of her crazy, maniac, sister complex of a brother coming after me. "Lenalee... you really wouldn't do that, would you?"
She turned toward me, glaring, and said, "Oh yes, Allen, I would."
"Does that mean I have to go in and stay? I can't just leave?"
"Allen Walker, if you leave I'll hunt you down," she stated as she glared daggers at me.
At this point I didn't know what was scarier: The prospect of staying in the house of the boy who likes me and is suppose to be my friend or Lenalee's wrath if I were to leave.
'Life has so many difficult decisions,' I thought as we headed up to the door of his house and my impending doom.
