The young exorcist closed his eyes tiredly, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. The heaviness had dramatically increased after the last battle. The mark over his heart was throbbing in pain, remembering the distant passages of memories he had suppressed for all those years through an icy exterior.

Alma…the name still rung in his memories like a wave that crashed onto the shore and kept going…like a typhoon. Kanda could feel the edges of his wounds, searing with pain as it hemmed the wound shut, ungracefully causing as much pain as the memory could muster. He always wonder if it was Alma's curse or his damned fate.

"Still as stubborn as ever," the Noah smiled looking down at the unconscious boy. He gently brushed his fingers through Kanda's hair. "Why darling, can you not drop your pride and call me." Tyki picked up the teen and carried him to his bed, laying him gently on the mattress.

He moved a strand of hair aside and kissed his forehead gently.

"We are enemies but as enemies I know your weakness, however" Tyki paused a moment, "I can be nice if I choose to do so darling, I am human after all."

"You're a fucking Noah."

Tyki Mikk smiled, "which enables me to please you darling, whether you wish it or not." He leaned in and stole a kiss eagerly.

"Leave me the fuck alone."

"If that is what you truly wish then I shall leave."

Tyki waved as he turned and headed to the wall, enabling his ability choose.

Kanda rushed up and grabbed his shirt only to find his hand go through it.

Tyki Mikk turned, grinning the eerie smile he usually had when he found a new thing he liked. "If you did not wish for me to go darling, you need only to ask."

"you can't make anything easy can you?"

Tyki Mikk chuckled as he stole another kiss, "I am the Noah of Pleasure. I have needs as well exorcist."

Kanda leaned his head against the wall, falling into the darkness of his thoughts, "I don't even fucking care anymore."

"That is not so exorcist, you reached for me like no other." Tyki leaned against the wall, slid down and stared at the boy a moment before continuing, "despite how much you wish to deny it darling, you are breaking and you will continue to break." That did not seem to faze him; he would lose him soon if this continued. "I will come whenever you call lovely, if you wish it, I will come."

"We're enemies." Kanda muttered, too tired to yell at this point.

"All the more reason to find you." Tyki closed his eyes, "I could comfort you darling like no other, and still drive you mad with missions."

There was a long silence, "that sounds, nice." Kanda closed his eyes and leaned against the Noah feeling the warmth of his skin against him. He listened to his heartbeat that drummed quietly in a small rhythm that hummed a strange tune. "I'll kill you one day." He muttered, "For stealing…all those…fucking kisses." He trailed into slumber.

The Noah laughed and leaned his head against his, "but I will enjoy meeting with you Kanda and I will come no matter how much distaste you show for it." Tyki Mikk closed his eyes, "you and I are inevitably tied."

Tyki Mikk woke with a sore shoulder that day.

Kanda on the other hand, couldn't look him in the eye, he seemed to hold onto a particular thought he had yesterday…he had fucking reached for the Noah! He dropped his pride and cuddled with his fucking enemy! Oh god, damnit, he cursed. He loved the fucking sick bastard.
