Shorts

Nova and Allen

(Heyo so these shorts are actually related to a bigger story, however, I do not publish the story itself because of my embarrassment towards it. Consider this a sneak peek of it, but of course, it's confusing without context.)
---------------------------------------------------

                          Allen, a 17-year-old, had issues adjusting with everyone after the 'incident' where his kingdom burned along with his lover. As known, Allen obtained abilities from a goddess dying. His desire to stop the flames caused the abilities to take on a form that counters fire, water. He was strong indeed after adjusting to his abilities, but he did not care for strength, in fact, he considered it as a curse. Every day he felt immense pain, he'd hide it, but he could never get accustomed to it, for it grew stronger the better his tolerance. One day, his abilities forcefully sent him to a different world, no, a completely different universe, Ozlluin. He was troubled to find out Nova, someone with similar cases to him, was also located there for he had chased him for quite a while in an attempt to recruit him. Even though he tried to hide out, he was quickly found within a fraction of a second.
 -----------------------"Wow, look who showed up!" Nova shouted, staring down at the long-haired teen, expressing his mischief with a cat-grin. 

Allen, completely oblivious of how he was transported here, tried using any method to escape that very moment, but every time he tried, he was stuck in a time loop, bringing him back to the moment Nova greeted him 

"No point in escaping, I can always just bring you back this very instance!" The blondie said with glee, a chuckle accompanying his every word 

"I'm not joining the Beade's, Nova" Allen's voice was gravelly and his eyes were narrowed, giving off a frightening vibe as Nova made direct eye contact.

"Who said you.." Nova paused, changing his tone to be honeyed by the end "could make that decision?". 

At that very instance, Allen felt himself shrinking in size, he already knew what was happening at that moment. "14... 13... 12 ... 11... what age would you like to stay forever?" His voice came out shrill, it was uncomforting for Allen, but he did not express it that way.

 "Is this thy assay at blackmailing? it isn't working" Allen's words were taut as he conversed.

 "Assay? Thy? What are you from Shakespeare?" Despite the mood, Nova threw in a joke, but of course, after the joke, he grabbed Allen by the neck with no time for him to counter

"I saw the future of this place you know... how there is a hero's party after me, doesn't it sound fun? Wouldn't you like to join Allen?" Allen heard himself wheeze, and watched as he couldn't control his eyelids that were closing on its own, of course, Nova caught this and released Allen from his grasp.

He then changed his voice to sound more appealing, but it made it all the more unpleasant. "It's either you get reverted to a newborn and never age or join me". Allen was in a daze, but hearing Nova found people to toy with enraged him. 

Before he knew it, he nodded in agreement. "yet know this, I won't e'en grant 'I to thy stupid ideas" Allen hissed, his voice raspy and unclear "Yet know this, as long as you are working for me, SPEAK ENGLISH" Nova facepalmed, not understanding half of what Allen even said
