Tyki Mikk

Well I used to stand for something,

But forgot what that could be.

There's a lot of me inside you,

Maybe you're afraid to see.

Tyki could see Allen braking as few others could. Every time they battled the cursed Exorcist was a little less fierce. Everyone has a 'braking point' and the Noah of Pleasure was very pleased to witness Allen snap. Tyki didn't quite understand the circumstances (nor did he particularly care) -something about what happened to the Third Exorcists once they were useless. It probably didn't help that one of the Third Exorcists thought that the suffering of the Akuma was 'amusing.' Suffice to say, Allen's reaction was not positive, at least, not for the Order.

He and Road had been sent to God only knew where to kill the Third Exorcists. Not half way through their battle they were convinced that their favorite Exorcist had gone mad. Allen Walker killed his Third Exorcist companion after he'd killed his injured fellow experiment. The two Noah were surprised, but curious, as well as cautious. Allen was not just their favorite, but perhaps the biggest threat to their existence. And it seemed that said snowy-haired Exorcist had just declared war on the Dark Religious Order.

Road dashed forward to tackle Allen in a hug, only to freeze in her tracks once she was nearly there. Tyki had started forward with Road. They couldn't wait to have the boy on their side.

"Why thank you, Shonen. You've done all the-" Tyki froze next to Road, not two feet from their beloved Allen. What was wrong with their dearest Allen? He... He looked like... like them.

Allen Walker

Well I used to stand for something,

Now I'm on my hands and knees.

Trading in my god for this one,

And he signs his name with a capital G.

He couldn't believe he'd just killed his comrade. But he had. And he certainly didn't feel sorry for it. The Third Exorcists were half Akuma. Allen couldn't ignore the ingrained instinct to kill them. He couldn't ignore the crying, the pleas for freedom from the trapt souls they possessed or the evil, swirling aura's and killer, murderous intent they radiated. And he couldn't ignore their sins any longer. He collapsed on the ground.

"They're going to kill me. Execute me. Traitor. Heretic. Murderer. Judas," he said to the sky that he blankly gazed at.

It wasn't until the last minute that he remembered that Road and Tyki were still present. He'd forgotten about them until they were almost upon him. He sat up, first looking directly at Road, then to Tyki.

A new pair of golden, Noah eyes stared up at them. They were beyond beautiful against his pale skin and stark white hair and eyelashes. However, they were dead, unfeeling eyes that sooner belonged to the Dreams or Pleasure than their darling Allen. Even knowing he was a Noah, they never dreamed they would see such eyes on Allen Walker. The white-haired teen rose and turned from the two Noah. Link would find him soon. He opened a door to his Ark. Road and Tyki continued to simply stare at him.

"Well, are you coming? Or would you like to wait around for the Order's babysitter?" Allen asked blandly.

The two Noah grinned and followed after Allen. The three rested in the original piano room. Of course Allen still wasn't able to trust any others with even basic knowledge of the secret piano room of the previous 14th. Allen crashed on the couch. Tyki squeezed in at his side, Road sat on the arm at his head. She leisurely played with his hair, moving his bangs from his forehead.

"You do not have the stigmatta," she observed, as she ran her fingers across his smooth brow. Allen didn't respond.

"You trust us, Shonen?" Tyki queried.

The pale Noah looked at him as if he was out of his mind, looked back to the ceiling, and replied calmly. "Previous 14th a traitor to the Noah. Current 14th a traitor to the Dark Order. Cursed. Not human, Exorcist, or Noah. Thus, hated by all. Is there any point in bothering with trust -or even fear, for that matter- anymore?"

The Dreams and Pleasure grinned like Cheshire cats and proceeded to glomp the Musician: their favorite human, their favorite Exorcist, their favorite Noah.

Road returned to playing with Allen's hair and began mentally designing a room for Allen on the new, black Ark. She was sure she and Tyki could convince the Earl not to try to kill their Allen. 'Oh Allen, Allen, Allen. So much trouble,' she thought.

"Oi, Tyki," Allen said grouchily. The dark male only 'hmmed' in response as he lazily studied Allen's left arm. "My name isn't 'Shonen.' It's Allen."

Tyki chuckled. "Whatever you say... Shonen."

Allen glared at the older Noah a moment. With a rough shove said Noah found himself on the floor. Tyki looked bewildered. Allen grinned evilly. Road laughed.

"Careful, Tyki-pon. Allen might throw you overboard next time."

~Haha! Get it? Ark= boat + 'overboard.' God, I'm funny...

~This is the end of this segment of the fic. Partially because that was the end of the song. But I will definitely do a sequel. I would like to put some mutual Tyki/Allen fluff into it, rather than just Tyki's 'affections' for Allen, but I'm having issues figuring out how to do that. Any suggestions or help is more than welcome.

~I would also like to thank everyone who put me on their favorite's or story alert list, and even more so those of you who took the time to review. It was very kind and is very encouraging to know that people truly like my writing. Thank you all.

Sincerely,

~Lai Jun Chen
