Allen was having a very bad day and surprisingly, so did Shaira who was constantly hissing on his lap.

He was trying so hard to keep his smile intact on his face.

It was tiring.

"Nice to meet you, Allen! I've heard so many things about you from Tyki. He said you are a great writer!"Allen bit his lip and stopped himself from shrieking from pain. The girl's voice was so high-pitched that it might have broken his eardrums.

Allen blushed. "T-thank you for that, Road-chan. But I think Tyki-san was just exaggerating things. I-I am not really that g-good..." He awkwardly smiled and patted Shaira on its head. He was trying to calm the cat that was raging for no apparent reason. Shaira started hissing since Tyki and Road got here thirty minutes ago and no matter how much he tried to push the cat to the kitchen and stay away from the meantime, the cat just wouldn't budge.

And so the hissing continued.

Shaira claws were now making their way in his pants and it was starting to sting.

Allen winced as he tried to suppress another deep sigh.

Road didn't seem to mind the cat while Tyki was just coolly smiling from the corner of his eyes. He was still staring at Allen and it made situation worst for the white haired man.

He didn't know why but the man's stares always made him uncomfortable for some unfathomable reason.

He couldn't believe that Tyki-san was serious when he said he would introduce his cousin to him. He looked at the beaming girl and weariness crept on him like an itchy insect. He was supposed to send Kanda's clothes to the laundry shop today and finish an overdue article tonight.

But it seemed like they were destined to be halt today.

He wanted to groan in frustration.

His editor would kill him for sure.

He heard Tyki chuckled. "Allen-san was just humbling himself, Road. He's a great writer. I've read quite a lot of his articles and a few books and they are all good."

Allen was taken aback. He didn't know what he should say to that.

Blushing, he decided to just say a low 'thanks'.

Road was frantically bouncing on her seat. She seemed so fond of him for some reason. Allen was happy he met her, really, but he couldn't help but worry about Yuu. He just wished that the young man wouldn't be home early today. Well, at least not until he finished eradicating any evidence that Tyki and Road had been here.

Because if not, all hell would break loose.

That's for sure.

...

Tyki knew he had been staring at Allen for almost an hour now. And he knew it was rude. But he just couldn't tear his eyes away from the white haired man. He was looking more and more stunning as the years passed by.

He first met Allen at the party of Bookman Empire four years ago.

His father was one of the directors of the company and his presence was requested by his old man, who was fully aware of his quixotic escapades in Spain where he was working as a University Professor and a part-time artist. His father was determined to pull Tyki away from his old, comfortable ways and began teaching him the ways of business world where his old man grew up.

And though he was not really interested in taking over his father's position, he was compelled to follow.

Well, let us just say that he couldn't really say no to his father and that was why he left his job in Spain flew to Japan four years ago.

Now, don't get him wrong. He didn't exactly go to Japan just because he was forced, forced. No, that like that. He loved the country where his father grew up. He loved Japan as much as he loved Spain.

He went home because he also wanted to.

It was kind of complicated, really.

While it pained him to leave his Chiquitas back in Spain, he couldn't really deny himself new life experiences that he could acquire in living in his father's birth country.

And when he saw Allen, a few hours after he landed in Japan, all of his doubts and qualms about staying in Japan for God knows how long, instantaneously flew out of the window.

His blushing countenance was always a lovely sight to see.

He wasn't really fond of having a male lover, but he could make exceptions once in a while.

He smiled when he saw the white haired man stuttered when Road asked him if he already have a girlfriend.

All Tyki knew was that he very much liked Allen now.

Eradicating a few pests wouldn't be that bad, for sure.

Err... I'm alive? *bows* I'm sorry for the long hiatus of this story. I shall fill up that gap and finish this story this year. Thank you so much for kittens who are still reading this. Rock on, people.
