I had the strongest urge to write a Poker pairing. I love Yullen, but there's something so charming about Tyki. Fuck it, best of both worlds!

Details should I mention? Uhm, this is AU, though need it be said? It will be funny for the most part, but a romance needs some drama...cause that's how I roll? Rated T because I'm not sure and it's always safe to assume a higher rating.

I want to apologize for any grammatical errors and mistakes that I've missed to correct! But please enjoy!

I want to mention this was inspired slightly by a manga called Konya mo Nemurenai by Yamamoto Kotetsuko. However this is no crossover or copy pasta of it with DGM characters! There are just a few elements from the manga I am using.

I do not own DGM and all rights belong to Katsura Hoshino. Moreover, I do not own Konya mo Nemurenai and all that rights go to Yamamoto Kotetsuko.

Really. The only person he had to blame was himself for getting into this… oh bloody god. Who was he kidding?! He couldn't stand to be considerate right now! Forget it all! It's all Cross Marian fault! He couldn't pretend that it wasn't Cross's fault! It's all because Cross refused to work like some normal individual! Why was he stuck with a guardian that just had to be a complete arsehole.

IT"S ALL HIS GUARDIAN FAULT. No argument, no debate. All credit goes to Cross, similar to the pile of debts his guardian had accumulated. Which by the way, he had the utmost fortunate… as his guardian would put it, to be given from him. In fact, it was all Cross ever gave him… Sad wasn't it?

He hasn't heard from his guardian in months and it had been a lovely, absolutely heavenly these few months. So the next time he hears from him, this is what happens.

Here he was just minding his own business and working hard when suddenly appeared these two burly men. They asked him if he was Allen Walker. Did he mention that this was only his third day in this city? He had been accepted by a university that Cross enrolled him in and without his permission. He found out only two weeks before classes started. It was a real hassle to move and prepare for. As a result, he didn't really have time to enjoy the city and explore the city. He knew nothing about the area and… to top if off, today was the first day school began.

Guess where he was suppose to be and wasn't? He'll have to make up something. Forge a doctor's note?

Obviously he wanted no part in these men's business. However they knew his name and that could only mean one thing: Cross sent them to him. Yes the responsible adult, one that was suppose to look after him, was the culprit that sent him these dubious men to him. All so he could to pay for the money his legal guardian borrowed from these shady corporations. No matter how much he begged or complained to Cross to stop, it all fell onto deaf ears. Anyways, no point in running if they knew his name. The only thing was to somehow appease these men, trick them, run away, or his personal favorite: POKER. Poker was his true savior and has gotten him out of so many situations that he's lost count right now.

However he couldn't just outright challenge them. He had do his song and dance, soften these men to think he was a weak boy and play with their ego. So here he was following these not so honest men to some shady part of town. Oh even better, if he even managed to escaped… how the in the bloody seven seas was he going to get home. He was beyond lost. Was there a word worse than getting lost?

They stopped at an alleyway. Oh what a treat, an alleyway! As if he hasn't been intimidated by that before, honestly alleyways were getting old. They weren't creepy anymore, they stopped to be when he was three months under Cross's care. Couldn't these debt collectors muscle men think of something new? He was getting tired of seeing the same act over and over again. They always brought him somewhere that's suppose to bully him, then they'll act tough, and then ask for their money.

"Listen kid, Cross Marian owes us a lot of money…" The fat, brown haired man spoke with an odd ring around his nose.

He almost snorted out loud in amusement. They weren't the only one hankering for the money Cross owed them. They had to get in line… a really long line. It was amazing how much debts Cross could rack up.

The man gave him a thick, not as thick as he normally saw, but still pretty thick bundle of receipts. With the amount of receipts he's accumulated, he wondered if he could recycle them… maybe toilet paper? Oh! Burn them for heat so he wouldn't have to pay for the heat bills. Smart one there Walker, the boy praised to himself mentally.

"And we were told you would pay us. So cough it up." The skinny, blonde haired man, who was wearing a red beanie demanded in gruff voice.

Damn how was he going to get himself out of this one? He could play the poor, innocent school boy card? Well worth a shot. "Please... " He pleaded desperately and mustered the best puppy eye face he had. "Can't we work something out? I promise.. to pay whatever my guardian owes you eventually." He'll admit the last part was just bloody murder.

The two men who had taken him away from the subway where there were witnesses, looked at each other. The blonde one takes his phone out to make a private call leaving him with the brown haired man.

Hey! Maybe it worked! He thought cheerfully to himself.

The two nodded at each other as if they had some plan worked out and Allen wouldn't lie. It did make him a bit nervous.

"Well kid, we can clear the bill if you promise to do a job for us."

"What sort of job?" He found himself asking reluctantly.

"You have to agree first and then we'll show you."

Against his better judgement he agreed as it was similar to a boy taking candy from stranger. To be fair, he thought it would be something simple. Like a messenger, work part time, delivery boy, or something. He never expected was about to come next.

Again the men lead him through even more parts of the city he didn't recognize. It was rather unsettling just how battered and dinky the building he was entering. They climbed a few steps and went inside a room. Allen noted that there were strange symbols all around the walls of the room in red and in the middle was a very large bed, fit for two. It was odd that in this building there was just a room with a bed and a cameras in front of it. Just what are they doing?

"Is he the kid?" A nice looking man with dirty blonde hair man asked, who wore a white robe.

"Yea."

"Did you tell him?"

"We're about to now. Hey kid!"

Oh! Kid that was him… he was fifteen. He was not a kid! Allen remembered to keep his innocent appearance and stuttered. "Y-Yes?"

"We'll clear the debt your owner if you act in this porn movie with this actor here."

Kid… bed… fit for two… camera… lots of it… porn movie… porn… it's all Cross's fault… one plus one equals…. OH! OH! DEAR LORD! He was going to get raped! The color drained from his already pale skin and his mind really raced to figure out how to really escape from this. Now this was no act that his eyes went wide and his mouth gaped open in horror.

The dirty blonde hair man tilted his chin sideways, revealing the red scar on his left eye and contemplated. "Hmm, this kid actually perfect for this sort of movie to act with me in. White hair and an odd red tattoo."

Be still his beating heart! He lamented to himself silently. Oh bloody hell! He was going to get raped! If there is a God out there and listening, then he wanted to say he was sorry. Even about everything he's said about Cross! So please have mercy and help him right about now because that would absolutely be splendid! "Wait! Wait!" He found himself shouting at a higher register than usual.

"He's even got the voice for it." The actor purred.

A disgusted shiver went up his spine. See normally he was quite with men flirting with him, but in this situation it was a big NOPE. He looked for an escape, but the two burly men were blocking the only getaway. Out of fear, he backed away as the man that he was suppose to this movie walked closer and closer. "Can't we work something out! Anything but this!"

The man with the red beanie replied. "You agreed to do this."

That was true facts, but he didn't mean this! He tried to make a break for it and found himself having a two versus one. Cross made sure he could defend himself in order for him to last longer because he needed someone to pawn all his debts to. It wouldn't do Cross good if he died or was taken away or some nasty thing.

The actor moved away from the fight breaking out and had an annoyed expression on his face. "Don't hurt his face you two!"

Unexpectedly, he tripped on some wires that he didn't see to be fair and not because he was clumsy! Painfully his forehead met the wall. Smooth move there Allen, the boy berated himself.

He was picked up by the two men and felt something sticky when they pulled him away from the wall. Ah blood was on the wall on one of those occult designs on the wall. Wow he really hit himself hard because his head was throbbing painfully. Now he was being held down by the two men and felt the red thread he used as a tie slip off. Panic surged through his body as he scrambled to get them off. They were starting to strip him! However the two men stopped to stare at the wall for some reason, which he wasn't complaining. Though why? Their grip on him loosened and allowed him to take part in what they were staring out.

WOW. He must have honestly, legitimately smashed his head or something to be seeing something like this.

Suddenly the symbol on the wall that had his blood smeared over it… began to glow. Actually glow. It was illuminating brightly in an ominous purple with smoke appearing to spill from the concrete wall. Was this some sort computer animated thing? What was even more unbelievable, a foot shot out and eventually another, then arms and finally a man was in the room. He wasn't even here originally nor did he come through the only exit and entrance of this room.

He couldn't help, but find himself questioning. "Is this part of whatever you were making?"

The fat man growled out shocked. "Who the fuck are you?"

The question was directed at the mysterious newcomer: a tall and tanned man with wavy, short, and dark hair. His hair was slicked back, revealing cross marks all around his forehead. "Well, aren't you a rude one?" He frowned, but in his amber eyes, a playful glint could be seen. In a blink of the eye, he was in front of the large man and took a good look at him. "And an unpleasant looking one too."

The fat man tried to punch the man, but his fist went right through the man… wait went right through?

Literally everyone stopped breathing as they all saw the same thing. The fat man's fist went right through him! The man didn't even dodge and there was no way the fat man could have missed at point blank. Allen had to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't imagining it, especially when the fat man punched the mysterious man again. Again the punch just passed through the tanned man's face.

With an amused chuckle, the tanned man merely said. "It's cute how you, humans try so hard sometimes. But I guess not as cute as the boy there." And pointed at him.

Allen gawked inelegantly because who wouldn't be?! When a bizarre man that came out of a wall and couldn't be touched. "M-me?!" He found himself stuttered shock. Also why did the man keep referring to them as human? Wasn't he human too?

"Who else?" The tanned man scoffed. "Those three look as horrible as they smell, but you…" The mysterious man didn't need to finish that because he had a feeling what he meant, especially when he had just been called 'cute' a few moments ago. Then there was that predatory smirk to his face that reassured his safety… and… dare he say... chastity?

Quite frankly, he was feeling creeped out by this man… probably more than the three in this room.

"Listen!" The actor snapped annoyed by all the disruption, all he wanted was to make the video and get paid. "If you want in I'm sure you can get into the next video. For now leave or else." His finger poked roughly at the man's black and white suit with each angry burst.

Suddenly the man bursted into laughter and no one knew what was so funny. It wasn't even a funny sort of laugh that one did around friends, but one that resembled to an arrogant king looking down on measly mongrols. The man held his stomach with his hand and the other hand covered his face as he laughed madly. "Sometimes humans have no shame." In a swift and flawless motion, he grabbed onto the actor's wrist and snapped it. A loud cracking noise reverberated in the small room, along with a piercing scream. It was the frightening and almost excited demonic glimmer in the man's amber eyes that scared the two other men. Though they were his escort sent to intimidate him, well let's just say they couldn't take the atmosphere and ran like dogs with their tail in between their legs.

Allen too wanted to run, but he was too kind hearted by nature to do such a thing and leave the other man here. Even if that said man was the actor that wanted to rape him for a porn video. Truly what a saint he could be at times, so why did God not see fit to reward him? Ah maybe it had to do that he didn't really believe in Him. In his want to save the man, he found the courage to stand up and rescue the man. "Stop that!" He pulled the wailing actor away from the maniac.

Though he did a good deed, he found himself being pushed towards the said maniac and out went the coward to leave a fifteen year to fend for himself. It was just a boy and someone who was suppose to be a man?

The excitement in the man seemed to die down and a scowl appeared. "Well that sucks Shounen. Man, humans really have no shame."

"Allen." He just blurted out without even thinking that he just gave some random person his name. Though he really didn't didn't want some odd nickname. He had to deal with Cross calling him an idiot all the time. Besides what did Shounen even mean?

"Allen." The man said, trying the name on his tongue. He reached for something on the top of his head, but whatever it was, wasn't there. "Damn, must have left my hat back there." He mumbled quietly, but nonetheless bowed and extended his hand for a handshake. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance Allen, I'm Tyki Mikk."

Allen blinked a bit taken back. This man was acting quite polite for someone who had been emitted such a murderous state early. He carefully returned the handshake, but still no matter who it was as long as they had manners, he too had to abide to the rules of etiquette. "Thank you. It's nice to meet you too…Mr. Mikk."

"Tyki, Shounen. Mr. Mikk makes it sound like we're strangers." Tyki frowned displeased.

"It's Allen then Tyki." Allen found himself retorting back. "And technically we are." He should actually be filled with anxiety or alarmed. Yet here he was casually talking to whatever this man was.

A pleasing smirk made its way on Tyki's lips. "Well we should change that?"

"Or better yet, no. Goodbye Mr. Mikk." He really should just leave and not get tangled up in whatever sort of thing this person was. He had so much other issues he still needed to untangle and some of them weren't even his guardian's.

"Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute Shounen!"

"Argh!" Allen screamed disturbed and shivered. It was the oddest feeling he had ever felt in his life and he couldn't find the correct words to describe it. How do you describe the feeling of someone that just went through you? Wait did the man just pass through him?! Because now Tyki was in front him, preventing him from taking his leave. "What do you bloody want and who are you?!"

Tyki sighed disappointed. "I told you I'm Tyki Mikk, a demon and it's no fun going straight to business you know, Shounen?"

"Oh well pardon me Mr. Mikk for being too 'serious'." Allen drawled. "I've had quite a long day and- wait a minute did you say demon?" He had to do a double take on the demon part. Did this man come straight from the the loony bin?! Who calls themselves a demon?! Though the true demon was Cross.

"Yep. Did I not mention that earlier?"

"No!"

"Oh I didn't? Oh well, I'm telling you now." Tyki shrugged nonchalantly while Allen was freaking out. So very hastily did Tyki mention. "I'm not kidding. What sort of human looks like this?"

"Demon?! You mean those creatures with horns, tails, wings, red, fire, and are evil?" He gingerly asked as if afraid it was true or a cruel joke.

"Oh that's racist Shounen."

"Wha-?"

"Not all demons look or are like that! Some are very human like, animal like, or both. Some in different shapes and size and colors too! Oh and some are very friendly. We are very diverse unlike you humans."

Allen had a very hard time wrapping his mind around this. For once in his life, he couldn't formulate a coherent sentence and his grade in English was excellent. "So… you… I…"

"Very eloquent Shounen."

"Piss off!" Allen snapped and felt his gentleman mask deteriorate because there was only so much rubbish he could take.

It was Tyki's turn to blink stunned because all he's seen of the boy's polite behavior and the boy appeared to be quite the goody two shoe. Plus, demons could smell how rotten a human's soul was and this boy didn't smell awful. So to hear something so unrefined, well he rather enjoyed it. Then again he always derived a sick pleasure in seeing something so pure to be tainted. Black and white was constantly a joy to fight between! Why pick one?! A delighted smirk formed on the man's lips and Tyki wondered why didn't he come to the human world quicker. He hasn't smiled so much for a long, long time.

Allen groaned and rubbed the temples of his head with his fingers. "Demons don't exist. They are only in fairy tales."

"Fairy tales?" Tyki scoffed offended. "There is nothing fake about us! We, demons, are very real. We just live in a different world than you do."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Okay! Wait a minute!" Allen suddenly shouted dumbfounded.

"That was a pretty delayed reaction there, Shounen."

"It's Allen!"

"You don't like the nickname I thought of for you?"

"No I don't and-!" Allen stopped himself from continuing when he realized the urgent issue in his situation versus what he prefered to be called. "-and oh my lord! This is not what I want to be talking about." He took a deep breath to calm himself and began to reboot his mind to think more rationally. "Alright, you're here because….?"

"Hey, you're the one who summoned me." Tyki replied with his hands up in defense.

"No I didn't!" Allen protest indignantly.

"Oh? Really? Then explain to me this." Tyki took one of his gloves off, he quickly cupped the boy's cheeks, which he noted was quite soft and pale for a boy his age. What was even more interesting was the scar and it was strangely shaped like a pentagon. However he didn't think too much about the details because that wasn't his focus. What he wanted was to touch the scratch on the boy's forehead. It was a shame for a human who looked so exotic to have a blemish on them like that. He took great enjoyment seeing the poor boy with his eyes fully open in alarm. Oh my, this boy also had such pretty silver eyes, ones he hasn't seen in a human for a long time. Not to mention the hair, a young human boy with snow colored hair! Usually that was privy to when humans got older and uglier. He allowed Allen to break from his hold… for now.

Allen automatically placed his hand on his forehead where Tyki had touched him. However his gaze was on the man's hand where crimson stained his fingers and pointed to the wall where he had fell against.

"Your blood was on this summoning seal." Tyki brought his fingers smeared with his blood towards his mouth. He licked away at the sweet aroma the boy's blood gave away.

"What are you doing?!" Allen shrieked horrified and embarrassed. He grabbed a hold of the man's arm to stop him from putting anymore in his mouth. "That's disgusting and dangerous! You could die from licking my blood!"

Tyki raised an eyebrow and slightly amazed at how this boy could be worried for him. "I'm a demon, Shounen. Human's blood won't kill me." He took advantage of the boy's good intention actions and brought him closer to his body. He pressed the small body against his and it's been awhile since he's been in the presence of a human's soft and warm body. Though he couldn't get the full experience due to all the clothing shielding them. Tyki expected to have full control of restraining the boy and never saw that the boy skillfully escape from him. By twisting his arm and bringing it around. It didn't hurt, but it was just shocking.

"Just what are you doing?!" Allen squawked with all the heat heading up to the boy's cheeks.

Tyki merely smiled slyly making Allen cringed. "Can you stop playing around and tell me how my blood summoned you here?"

Tyki rolled his eyes and sighed. "Do you humans not know anything about magic or demons anymore?"

"We live in the age of information and quite frankly, there isn't much about proof about demons and magic."

"Hmmm, interesting Shounen."

"It's Allen." Allen gritted his teeth irritated at how many times he's had to correct this… demon.

"Anyways Shounen, out of all the fake symbols in this room, you picked the lottery."

"Oh joy." Allen muttered deadpan. Why do all these weird events happen to him?!

"You should be very excited because your blood was the catalyst to summon, yours truly." Tyki bowed mockingly and presented himself.

"Let me sum all this up, so that I have a clear understanding of what you just said to me." Tyki nodded. Allen took another deep breath and breathed it out completely before exploding. "So it just so happen my blood splattered onto a legit magic summoning circle that called a demon."

"Which is me." Tyki interrupted.

"Which is you. Consequently, proving that demons are actually real and not fantasy. As a demon you have the power to pass through solids-"

"Not just solids. Liquids and air." Tyki corrected him.

"Right…" Because he needed that small detail of what the demon could do. "... and break bones like tissue paper?"

"Well all demons have enhanced strength and eyesight, but overall, exactly. See Shounen, that wasn't all too hard to process." Tyki smiled cheerfully and patted the boy on the back.

Allen shakingly sat down on the bed and sighed disbelief. Truthfully speaking, he hasn't been this smashed since Cross planned his thirteenth birthday. Really he learned to never drink alcohol again after that incident. Though really, his birthday party was just an excuse for Cross to get even more alcohol and women. It had nothing to do with him turning thirteen and becoming a man! The number thirteen didn't magically mean he was a man either, please look at Cross. A man well over his forties and still acted like a child! That birthday party didn't even celebrate his birth!

"You still don't believe me?"

"Look. Let's not make this anymore complicated. What do you want and how do you go back to your world?" There was no sense in trying to figure out what was fact and what was fiction. He didn't have time to have a crisis in life to figure out whether everything he's believed was a lie or not. Not when he had huge amounts of bills to pay and a future to worry about. It was easier and better for him to go with the flow. For now he'll believe Tyki is a demon and the supernatural were not at all just a bunch of hog wash.

Tyki jokingly pouted. "Won't you miss my company?"

Allen groaned wearily and repeated exasperated. "What do you want and how do you go back to your world?!"

Tyki rubbed his chin contemplating whether to tell the boy the truth or not. He could just continue teasing the boy… yea that sounded like a wonderful idea. There is no other choice, but the entertaining one and the one that would bring the best reaction out of the boy. "You have to sleep with me!"

Sleep with him…. SLEEP WITH HIM?! The poor, innocent boy bugged eye out with his face flushed red and scooted away from Tyki in a flash. What is with everyone and sex?! More importantly why was he the one in that equation?! However he calmed down when the man… no demon was stifling his chuckles. Though rather pathetically because the demon burst out into laughter and his back fell on the bed.

"Oh geez Shounen! The look on your face was priceless!"

Allen could feel a sensation in his hands that told him to punch the man on the bed that found his misery funny.

"Oh! Phew! I haven't laughed like that for almost a hundred years...meh give or take." Tyki wiped his eyes and his hair was now a mess, no longer slicked back. He rather looked a bit more human than when he first appeared.

Allen glared at the man clearly not sharing the same mutual feeling as Tyki. "You are a wanker my good sir."

"Alright, alright. I'll stop fooling around." Tyki cleared his throat and slicked his hair back. All sense of playfulness left the man. "Just make a wish."

Allen frowned skeptical. "A wish? You mean the ones where you're able to give someone whatever you want?"

"Yep. Any wish Shounen. When you summon a demon, they have to grant you a wish."

"If I wanted billions and billions of dollars, you would be able to grant that?" Allen frowned suspicious. It was a wonderful idea and tempting one. Just one simple wish could ease his financial trouble.

"Of course."

"Now that is fishy. What's the catch? I mean where would you even get all that money?"

What a smart human. Normally people would have jumped on the bandwagon when a demon enticed a human with a omnipotent wish. They never thought the consequences of their actions of how their wishes could come true. It didn't matter to him, but the end results when he saw the look of utter horror when they realized the outcome of their desire. That final part where the light just leaves their eyes! It was almost as exciting as physically draining the life out of them. "Not that hard. Just take it from someone or somewhere. After you get what you want, you'll have to do a favor for the demon that granted your wish."

Tyki wondered how magnificent would this child blossom under his twisted care?

Allen mumbled. "Knew it." There were no such thing as wishes and even if they did exist, then there was something wrong. There's no way anything or anyone in the world could grant a wish without repercussions. Wishes required something, they don't appear out of thin air and most of the times were fulfilled by the suffering of others.

If everyone could wish for something then the world would be a nicer place… right? Instantly the memories of his carefree childhood with Mana flashed in his mind. He was filled with a bittersweet feelings as remembered his foster father. No matter how hard he wished, Mana would not come back and… and? Then there was ringing sound echoing in his ears. He cringed in pain and didn't hold his head, but his right eye. The pain was so great he couldn't stand anymore or keep himself conscious and the abyss engulfed him.

"Hey Shounen! What's wrong?!" Tyki reacted immediately and caught the boy when he fainted, almost falling to the cold floor.

And the last thing he could think was that he really didn't want Tyki to keep calling him that ridiculous nickname, 'Shounen.'
