The Light side
"Oi Eeez! Hurry up! The train's going to leave" shouted Tyki to his young companion as he watched him admire the new jacket Tyki had bought for him. "Uh…coming!" Eeez called back, slipping on the jacket and boarded the train with Tyki.
"But Tyki, are you sure it's all right for me to have this?" he asked. "Eh?" said Tyki "It's your birthday present Eeez. And that old one didn't look like it was going to last too long." Eeez simply nodded and breathed in the scent of the new jacket. "How kind of him!" thought Eeez "That secret side job of Tyki's must pay a lot for him to buy such a nice jacket".
A few minutes passed in companionable silence with the only sound coming from Tyki shuffling his cards. "Uh, Tyki…where are we going?" asked Eeez, tugging his sleeve. Tyki had just told Momo and Clark he was taking Eeez somewhere and the next thing he knew he was in the station with a new jacket. "It's your birthday. So I'm taking you to the fair in the nearby town" and then added, "After all, you need a break once in a….." He never got a chance to finish his sentence, as a white haired boy with a vertical scar running over his left eye entered the compartment.
"Le..." the white haired boy began and stopped abruptly when his eyes fell on Tyki. "Tyki! It's the boy who beat you at poker!" cried Eeez gleefully. "Uh...huh" said Tyki, still looking at the aforementioned cheating shounen with a look of disbelief in his eyes. Just as Allen got over his temporary loss of speech and began "Tyk..." he was cut off by what happened to be a girly samurai who shoved him out of the way. "Get out of my way, moyashi" the samurai who happened to be a guy, much to Eeez's surprise, said and entered only to stop dead in his tracks when he saw Tyki.
In the blink of an eye, the samurai had his sword out and cried "Mugen, Activate!" and lunged at Tyki. Tyki jumped out of the way but the sword skewered the sleeve of Eeez's jacket, who happened to be sitting close to Tyki.
Eeez just sat there, frozen in fear and then managed to whimper "Tyki…". Tyki, whose thick, swirly glasses had fallen down, stared at him, his eyes growing bigger than Eeez had ever seen and lunged at the samurai and dealt him such a blow that he went flying into the side of the train, sword and all, with a loud audible "Bang!"
The long haired guy growled and launched himself at Tyki, only to be plucked in mid-air by what appeared to be the formerly mentioned whitey wearing a whiter than white, clownish costume. "Kanda! Stop!", he cried, "You might hurt the kid!". "This is getting out of hand", thought Tyki, cradling a shaking Eeez.
"Look here!", he said, " I don't know who you are but it's obvious that you've confused me for someone else. Today's my friend's birthday and I'm taking him to the fair, so…SCRAM!" he shouted. Allen stared in confusion at Tyki, all the while trying to restrain Kanda, when it suddenly dawned on him that he had seen that boy before and he was one of Tyki's human friends. He remembered that Tyki appeared to care about his human friends and the scene before him suggested that it was probably true. So Tyki must probably want to keep his life as a Noah separate from his life as a human.
Allen didn't hate Tyki all that much to expose him as a Noah to his friends (although the fact that he was Road's uncle might have something to do with it, considering that Tyki had a tease eat a hole through his heart and all that jazz) and they had left Link behind at the last town after Lavi had laced his food with a healthy dose of laxatives, so Allen didn't see any reason not to play along with Tyki.
"I'm very sorry!" shouted Allen, trying to bow but at the same time, trying to keep an irate kanda from bashing in his head with Mugen. "We mistook you for someone else. To make up for it we'd like to treat you at the fair. Can we?". Kanda stared at Allen, his small eyes suddenly growing large, before he said "Che!" and sheathed Mugen and started sulking like he always did.
Tyki was quite surprised, but that would be an understatement since he was shocked shitless. But he quickly regained his composure and said "alright", thinking "This can't get any worse."
Allen was mentally patting himself on the back when suddenly a disheveled Lenalee followed by an equally disheveled Timcampy and a thoroughly depressed looking Lavi came in. "Sorry, Allen. I had to use the …", she stopped on seeing Tyki. Allen immediately jumped forward and closed her mouth with his hand, earning a growl from Timcampy (why Tim would do that, Allen honestly didn't know.). "Lenalee" said Allen, "Bakanda here mistook this man for one of the numerous people he doesn't like and attacked him and this little boy here. It being the boy's birthday, we're treating them at the fair at the next town." He explained, hoping Lenalee wouldn't ruin everything, because right now Lavi looked like he honestly didn't care and Allen figured he wouldn't be having any trouble from those quarters. Lenalee looked at Tim who shrugged (or at least as close to shrugging a golem can come to) and she looked at Allen and nodded.
Allen heaved a sigh of relief and walked up to Eeez. "I'm so sorry…?". "Eeez" said Tyki. "I'm so sorry Eeez." said Allen. Said boy looked up at Allen, his eyes big as orbs and threatening to overflow with tears. "The new jacket that Tyki got me is ruined!" he cried, holding up the torn sleeve. "It's all right Eeez… I'll get you a new one" said Tyki trying to console him. "So, this is Tyki's light side" thought Allen.
As Allen stood there contemplating this side of Tyki, he was suddenly glomped by a squealing girl. "Al~len" squealed Road. Then she looked at Tyki and started to squeal "T.." but she was cut off by Allen pressing his lips against hers. Tyki who was sure his life as a Noah was going to be exposed, stood there, mouth open, once again shocked shitless. "This is my girlfriend, Road." Allen explained to Eeez, once he removed his lips from a pleasantly shocked Road's, his hand tracing words on her back that he hoped to God she understood. It seems she did and she shut he mouth and latched onto Allen's arm.
Tyki looked at Allen with an 'I owe you one' look. Allen missed the look in Tyki's eyes on account of him giving Tyki an 'I could worship you for the rest of my days' look.
The train stopped at the station. Once everybody got off, Lenalee said "Allen-kun, I don't think I'm all that much for going to a fair. So I'll just take Timcampy and take a look around the town." and off she went. Lavi looked after her retreating figure with longing in his eyes. Kanda took one look at Lavi and said "Che! Come on Usagi. We're going to see if we can get some soba in this place." And off he went followed by a Lavi who thoroughly missed the evil glint in Kanda's eyes.
"Well… I suppose that leaves us." said Allen turning to Tyki who had Eeez on his shoulders. "Let's go!" he said taking the lead. On the way, Road leaned into Allen's ear and whispered "Allen…did you really mean that?" Allen turned around to see if Tyki was watching and when he saw that Tyki was occupied with Eeez, trying to cheer him up about the jacket incident he leaned down and whispered back "Yes, I did." Road squealed louder than she had last time and glomped Allen once more, earning a suspicious glance from Tyki.
Very soon they reached the fair and as Allen promised he paid (the costs going to the black order of course) for everything. It must be mentioned that although Tyki and Eeez weren't all that expensive Allen must have burned a hole through the Black Order's pockets buying candy for Road. Allen who assumed that Tyki would probably entrust Eeez to him and go wenching was most surprised when he found that Tyki stuck with Eeez the whole time and the fact that he actually smiled at the look on Eeez's face when Tyki got him a new jacket.
Near the end, they found themselves at a stall selling toys. Of course, Road wanted one. But what surprised Tyki was that Eeez too wanted one. And they both wanted the same thing. To be honest, it wasn't all that much impressive. It looked like sort of miniature Allen with all that white hair and cuteness. And it also was the only piece left.
"Al~len! I want that!" whined Road, tugging his arm. "Tyki…" said Eeez shyly,"Could you get me that doll? Please?". Both Allen and Tyki looked at each other. They were going to settle this the old fashioned way. Tyki got out a pack of cards. "Want to play, Shounen?" he asked. "You really want to?" asked Allen, horns growing out of his head. Tyki took one look at Eeez whose eyes were filled with hope, took a deep breath and said "Bring it on Shounen."
Road smirked at Tyki knowing fully who would win. But everybody could see that Tyki desperately wanted to win this match. It showed on his face clearer than a lone flower in a sea of grass. Allen saw that too and the horns on his head momentarily disappeared before popping back again.
"Four of a kind!", Allen called. Tyki looked up at Allen, once again shocked shitless (this is the third time, I think). "Royal straight flush" he said spreading his cards, unable to believe that he'd won. "What?" Road exclaimed in disbelief. "He He", "You lose shounen" said Tyki, buying the miniature Allen doll and giving it to Eeez mouthing "Happy Birthday!"
As they were walking away towards the station, Road sidled up to Allen and asked "You did it on purpose didn't you?". Allen stared at her for a long time and then slowly closed one eye in a wink. "Al~len! You're so sweet!" she squealed and pecked him on the cheek.
And that's it. I seriously had other ideas in my head when I started writing this, but for some reason I kinda forgot them along the way and it ended up like this. Please review! I just love reviews.
P.S. Hope you liked the pairings ^_^
