Newbie was watching as Allen walked away, and even though his voice came back was it like he no longer could utter a word.

- What's going on...?

Newbie got surprised and jumped to the side, the unfamiliar voice came from behind Newbie. The person looked like he had just woke up, he had short dark hair and tall. He looked down at Newbie that was standing in front of the door and then at Allen that was walking away.

- Oh, I see, you were fighting...

He still looked a bit sleepy, and scratched his head. Newbie couldn't say anything, the sadness hadn't faded away yet, and it was still difficult to talk. He noticed that Newbie was shaking, and then looked at Allen.

- That annoying brat...

He suddenly got an idé, and put his arm on Newbies shoulder.

- Hey, Allen! do you mind if I borrow this guy for a while!?

His voice was loud and clear, Newbie looked up at him, this guy had a smirk on his face and was looking at Allens direction. Newbie noticed that it had become quiet, he couldn't hear Allens footsteps anymore. Allen had reacted to what the guy had said, and was now standing still.

- Like I care!!!

Allen hadn't turned around, and started to walk away again, this time, much faster than before, Ian sighted he seemed disappointed by Allens reaction.

- Well, that was boring...

- Um... could you let go...?

- Oh, sorry.

Newbie couldn't understand what was going on, this guy was strange, who was he? Suddenly newbie started to blush, he hadn't realised it, but this guy wasn't wearing anything on the top. His well trained body was showing his muscles nicely.

- Are you okay...?

- Sorry!?

- You were fighting with Allen, weren't you...?

- Ah...

Newbie got reminded, and felt bothered.

- I haven't introduced myself have I? my name is Ian, and you are Newbie, right?

Ian must have changed the subject, knowing that Newbie didn't want to talk about it.

That's not it, Conny named me that and that's what everyone is calling me now...

- Ahaha... Yeah, that's typical Conny... So, what's your name then?

- Liam...

Ian nodded.

- Nice to meet you, Liam

- Um... likewise... I should get going now... and sorry to have disturbed you...

- Why?

Ian grabbed Liam's arm and pulled him to his room, like it was nothing.

- Whaaa...!?

- I'm really curious of what you and Allen was arguing about

- Why?

- Like i said, I'm curious

Liam was standing in the middle of the room. There were two beds, a table on the side of the room, with three chairs. It was pretty much the same room as Liam's room.

- Take a seat, do you want some lemon juice, I made it this morning.

Liam felt troubled, but had no choice other than listen to Ian, and do as he said.

- Yeah... thanks...

- No problem!

Liam took a seat by the table, and waited for Ian to get the juice. Ian had taken a shirt on him, but didn't bother to bottom it up. He walked up to Liam with two glasses of juice and gave one to Liam.

- So go ahead and tell me

Ian was looking a bit too interested, even though Liam wasn't feeling like he wanted to discuss it just yet.

- Well... to be honest, I don't know why he got so angry... it seemed to be about me tricking him or something...

- Well... did you?

- Of course not, why would I...!?

It went quiet, Ian seemed to be thinking, Liam felt that he was taking this problem more seriously, which made him a bit happy to see.

- I see, so if what you're saying is true, and that you didn't trick him, then the only one who could pull something this big on Allen... would be Leo

- Leo?

- Yeah, have you met him?

- Yes, this morning, the short guy, right?

- Hehehe, right, the short guy, and I will advise you to not call him short, when he is in the same room.

- ... Sorry, I will remember that... but how do you know that it was Leo?

- Because he's the only one who could, his ability is to trick people mind... he probably disguised himself to you and pulled a prank on Allen.

- Why?

- Leo hates boredom, so he likes to trick other, he thinks it's fun, the problem with that is that he sometimes goes over the line... or rather, when it comes to Allen... he likes to trick Allen the most, because of Allens short temper... or something...

- Liam thought back at what Allen had said to him... It started to make more sense to him.

- I have to explain this to Allen

- Wait, right now?

- Yeah...?

- I don't think that's a good idea, you should probably wait for him to cool off a bit...

- That's... true...

Liam looked at Ian, he felt relieved to have talked about this to Ian, and could finally relax a bit.

- Thanks.....

Suddenly Leo walked in on them, he couldn't hide his bothered expration, and turned to Ian, while pointing at Liam.

- Oh man, I was too late..... did you tell him?

Ian smiled at Leo, and answered him happily.

- I did!

Liam looked confused at Ian, and he noticed it

- Hm? oh... We are roommates.

- That explained it, Leo fell down on his bed, and started to hit his pillow.

- This is bad, he will definitely know now, and then he will stab me at least once with that knife...!

Ian drank a bit of the juice, and then looked at Leo.

- He wouldn't do that... you have tricked him many times, and he never goes that far to actually stab you...

Leo sat up properly on the bed, and looked up at Ian.

- Well, this time was different, he was...

He had gone quiet, and was suddenly smirking, he turned to Liam.

- Hey, let's make a deal...

- Don't trust him...

- Shut up, Ian...!

Liam hadn't caught up with anything they have been talking about, and now Leo wants to make deals with him...

- What...?

- If I tell you about how I fooled Allen, then you won't tell him about this, what do you say?

Why would Liam want to know it, when he already knows the fact that Allen got fooled, and that he himself had hurt him because of this. If Liam wouldn't explain this to him... then he would probably be hated by Allen...

- Hehe, aren't curious about what happened?

- No, I will tell Allen the truth...

- Come on he will seriously kill me for this!

- That's you to blame, idiot...

- ... Then, I will do anything...

Ian snicker, by Leos desperation, this was nothing that happened often.

- Should I film this, to actually hear Leo beg... wow

- Shut up, Ian...!

To see Loe this bodered about this made Liam feel bad... but he didn't let that change his desition, Liam stood up.

- Sorry, I'm not interested... I should get going now...

He was walking towards the door.

- Do you really think he will forgive you, just by explaining that he had been tricked by me?

Liam stopped.

- What... Why wouldn't he?

Suddenly Leo started to laugh by Liam's reaction.

- Hahaha, are you serious, well... I guess you don't know him that well

- You're just lying, to make me quit!

- No, I'm not lying, and Yes, I want to make you quiet...

It got silent.

- Soooo, aren't you curious about what happened?

- ... How do you know...

- What...?

- How do you know he won't forgive me!

Leo glared at Liam with a smirk on his face.

- Because he hates half- assed cowards like you, that thinks that blaming someone else will make things better again.

It went silent, Liam felt like crying again, he didn't want to know this. The truth was painful, a coward, that was what he was... but he wanted to apologize to Allen properly... how could he do that!?

Ian had been sitting and drinking on his juice the whole time, he knew Leo had hit the mark, and could see that Liam was feeling bothered by what Leo had said.

- Sight.... You went too far, Leo

- What he was the one that asked, it's not my fault that Allen is that kind of person...

- .... Fine...

- Did you say something....?

- ... Fine, I will listen to it!

- What, so it's a deal, then?

- Yeah, it's a deal...

- Awesome!

- Wait, are you sure about this, Liam...?

- Shut up, Ian! he said he was fine.... so! the reason I came up with this prank was because I heard about that incident in the elevator.

- What incident...?

- Shuuuut up, Ian

- .....

- Moving on, I pretended to be you and apologized by writing on his palm.

- What...?

Both Liam and Ian had a hard time to imagine that Allen would offer his hand like that, but Ian only got amused by that.

- Hahaha, really, didn't he get annoyed by that, he hates it when people touch him.

- Hahaha, right, I definitely thought he would get mad and hit me like he always would... but he didn't even suspect that it was me, so when he forgave me- meaning you, for what happened in the elevator, made me want to go even further!

Ian didn't seem as amused as he was before, but more like intrigued by what Leo would be saying next.

- Oh, really, tell us...

Leo noticed that but didn't pay any attention to it, and continued the story.

- I pushed him over and then asked him if we could be friends, listen this is the best part, he got all nervous and even blushed!

Liam had been quiet, he realized that he had held his breath for a second. He looked at Leo, with an expressionless face. To hear about this prank, that was meant to be funny, wasn't amusing at all, he didn't feel like laughing.

- Was that it...?

- Ah, yeah...

Liam turned around, and before he walked out he asked.

- So... He didn't answer the question?

Leo smirked when he was remembering it.

- Hehe.. no, like I said, he got nervous and stormed out of the room, with an excuse.

- ... I see...

.

.

.

Liam had left the room, he seemed angry on his way out, which Leo couldn't help but to feel bothered by.

- .... What was up with him...?

Ian didn't listen to what Leo said and seemed to have something else on his mind, that bothered him.

- You... you really had a fun time tricking Allen, huh... don't you think you went too far this time?

- Not really, it was worth it and besides, he won't know it...

Leo walked up towards Ian, he took Liams glass that was still full, he started to drink it all up.

- Aaaahh... That hit the spot, your juice is the best!

Leo looked at Ian, he sat on his lap, they were facing towards each other.

- Why are you getting so close, what are you up to?

Leo smirked and whispered in his ear.

- Did you think I would forget you, I need to make sure you stay quiet as well, right?
