What was it?
The catalyst for him, of all, to commit such an act? Was it the striking difference in their appearances? The whiteness and pureness mockingly dragging out his dark soul and, dirtied in blood, self? Or perhaps the pleasure from hearing the other's screams, seeing his shocked expression?
No, it were those eyes.
No matter how many times he claimed the boy, touched and tainted every corner of his body, letting the red liquid be absorbed by the soil beneath them, those eyes never wavered. Despite being fully aware of what faith awaited him, Allen Walker's eyes stayed clear. There was not a speck of fear, dread nor helplessness. It thrilled him, yet at the same time he wished for no more than to gouge them out and crush those vibrant grey irises alight by –oh, the irony – god knows what.
In the end, as he regained his senses after losing count on how many times he filled the boy, Tyki Mikk decided to award the bravery presented to him by such an unusual human and bestowed the white haired boy with a slow, albeit painful, death.
One must say his goodbyes with the world, after all.
I'm alive.
For over a month that he spend in the Asia Branch, this was the very first thought that swarmed Allen Walker's mind upon waking up.
Despite the fact that the training to regain his Innocence was, to say the least, going poorly. Despite the nightmares filled with velvety whispers, golden eyes and the smell of tobacco, just this simple word 'alive' made it all bearable. Made it worth putting up with the green mist's tantrum each time he focused on hurrying with recovering his left arm, knowing there are friends waiting for his return.
It was another month after that, just when everything was going smoothly, that the nightmare he thought he forgot about appeared before him in the form of a small, black butterfly.
"Walker…" The Head of the Branch called out to him whilst turning with a serious look pointed at everyone else present in the room. With no need for another word, every scientist present left the office to the privacy of the two that remained.
"Bak-san?" Allen asked, head dipped to the side in slight confusion. They just killed a level 4 Akuma, and on top of that his Innocence finally joined in with him. So then, why the serious expression…?
"It'd appear that you finally gave your answer…" The blond started, unsure of how to approach the news he needed to tell the young Exorcist.
Smiling brightly, Allen nodded, looking at his restored arm with fondness.
"I've decided to fight for both humans and Akuma. And my Innocence yielded to this decision."
"No doubt," Bak chuckled bitterly, having a hunch as to exactly why the Crown Clown was opposed to Allen fighting only for people.
"Bak-san…?" The boy leaned in, seeing as his superior-but-still-a-stalker appeared to be deep in thought, "Is something wrong…?"
The blond took a deep breath and levelled his sharp gaze on Allen.
"When we asked you what happened in the forest, you told us you were attacked by a Noah," There was a beat of a pause before he spoke again, and the Exorcist noticed a slight tremor in the other's voice.
"Is that all that happened?"
And grey eyes widened, flashes of images swimming in his mind, ghosts of touches brushing against his skin making him shiver.
"W-why… are you asking me that… now?"
To Bak, Allen's reaction couldn't be more clearer, and it tore at his heart, making the nails in his clenched fist to break the skin.
'Be calm. You're not the one who needs the support, he is,'
"The tests Lou-Fa and her team ran just earlier… I noticed something was… amiss,"
'Amiss?' Allen thought, 'Could it be that Tyki Mikk did something to me other than leaving a hole in my heart?'
And then it dawned on him what the man standing before him was trying to tell him. But it was, by all physical, biological and any means impossible.
"Walker…" Bak called out softly, so as to not startle the boy, whose face already resembled the colour of his hair,
"You're…"
Allen's hand shot up, preventing those… wretched words from putting the seal of finalization on his current predicament.
"It's fine," the boy answered weakly, only fuelling the anger growing inside the blond.
"No, it's not! How could you possibly be f-"
"It's /fine/," the sudden outburst startled them both, Allen's breaths coming out in short gasps as he clutched his sides.
"Walker…" Bak's voice echoed across the empty room. How could the boy be so strong? Not only was he almost killed and rendered useless as an Exorcist, thinking of himself as no more than a weapon to fight for the cause of humans and Akuma alike. And now /this/…
"… about this?" Allen's words reached him, only now realizing that the boy was speaking to him.
"Pardon?"
"Could you please not tell anyone about this?"
"But…"
"/Please/," Though his voice was pleading, the strength in those grey orbs was overwhelming to the point of nearly taking the blonde's breath away.
"… Alright. However, I'd like for you to report to me and me only about your condition. I'll be monitoring you personally from now on,"
Allen's eyes widened, glazing over at the comforting words. And here he thought he'd be all by himself in this unknown journey.
"Bak-san…"
The man smiled, patting the shorter boy's head.
"No worries, just think of me as your personal doctor,"
Nodding, the young Exorcist was just about to voice his thanks when a ringing noise from behind interrupted him. His thoughts were muddled and confused, but it'd seem that even those will have to be sorted later.
"Walker, it's time,"
At Bak's words Allen took a deep breath and walked out of the room, heading for his temporary one to fetch the new coat.
It was time to board the Ark.
'Those eyes again,' Tyki thought, feeling a shiver travel across his spine. How long has it been since he felt that way? The pure thrill of just /thinking/ about what will very soon be unfolding on top of this crumbling tower.
"Tyki Mikk," Allen's sharp, angry gaze bore into the amused golden irises, "I also have something I'd like to say,"
The Noah of Pleasure drowned out any outside noise, his focus solely on those orbs.
'Ah, here we are yet again, Shounen,' Tyki thought, stretching his arm to produce a Golem that turned into a star-shaped like shield.
"Let's have our last dance,"
And thorough their fight Allen's mind kept on wondering how come this man could be the one... How is it that behind the gentle – however cunning – human he met and stripped on the train using Poker as a weapon could be hiding this sort of… madness.
Those eyes were not the eyes of someone sane.
That smirk stretching and splitting the dark-skinned face was downright maniac.
The malice and killing intent directed solely at him were enough to suffocate should he hesitate for just a moment.
And as those thoughts kept on wandering, Allen – unaware of it – kept on shielding a particular part of his body.
He may not have noticed, but Tyki certainly did.
And, to put it lightly, it baffled him.
Just now, during their air fight the boy choose to be hit in a vital point near to his heart rather than…
Deciding to get a final, solid answer to his theory, Tyki planted the Golems in the water, and ordered them all to shoot their beams straight at the boy.
What happened next was not something he expected.
The white coat made of Innocence, sensing the quickly approaching threat, enveloped its master in a protecting cocoon while shredding to pieces all the butterflies in one motion.
"That thing's just like a full body armour,"
But now, his suspicions were confirmed.
"I'm going to crush you with this hand once more. Just like /that/ night,"
'I won't die,'
'I want to live,'
'To defeat Tyki Mikk,'
…
'No, that's wrong. That's not the reason I want to live,'
'The reason is… I found something important,'
'I refuse to die here!'
"I don't know what were you planning, but don't think I'll just let you," Tyki's voice said next to Allen's ear, squeezing the boy's heart that's currently in the palm of his hand.
Yet, something was off.
No matter who, the power of the vacuum would kill a person shortly after being formed. So why was this boy moving? Why were those eyes, despite being dulled, still mocking him? Why, just by being near him, Tyki felt an unknown sensation?
Funnily enough, Allen's thoughts reached the same conclusion.
Just by being near the Noah cleared the fog clouding over his scattered, indecisive feelings.
But no more.
'You and I are both two in one,'
And as if fuelled by this clarity, the Innocence reacted, morphing into its final form.
Road watched the scene below in terror. If Tyki, without fulfilling the requirements needed to his full awakening, was cut by a blade that'll steal his Noah.. what will happen?
Yes, being the second eldest, she was fully aware of the difficulty that Noahs of Pleasure must burden. It's precisely because of those, that every other member of the Clan tends to overlook all the trespassing of rules that Pleasures commit right up until the moment of awakening.
It was almost laughable, Road couldn't help but muse, that one of said requirements just became Tyki's downfall.
"No matter what happens, I'm prepared to bear the burden," Allen's voice reached her, the seriousness, mingled with sadness in his eyes startling.
'Why was he sad? And what burden could he possibly be…' Her eyes widened as she jumped down from the pumpkin umbrella.
'Tykki!'
Ready to run up to the man, she was stopped by her Uncle's outstretched hand.
"It's fine," he murmured with a weak smile, a trickle of blood escaping from his mouth.
'It's not fine! You don't know!'
Her mind screamed at him as Allen pierced the soon-to-be ex-Noah for the second time.
"Sorry, Road…"
Tyki whispered, feeling his consciousness, along with Noah, fading.
But before it completely disappeared, he could swear he heard something.
'… pa'
'… Papa…'
It hurt, falling onto his hands in order not to impact with his middle. Allen knew that the fall will surely bruise his arms, if not break them, for one was hurting quite badly.
Nevertheless, better him than Chaoji who was the intended target.
Or was he…?
Allen heaved on all fours, clutching his stomach as he took huge gulps of much needed air into his lungs.
Bathump.
'What was that?' His head shot up, eyes widening upon seeing a mass of tentacles and a… figure standing in the middle of them.
"You… no way… I destroyed your Noah power…"
But did he really? Power is still power and remains, no matter into how many pieces it's dissected.
Allen realized it all too late, fisting the fabric of the uniform, right in the middle of his stomach.
"Who… are you?"
The empty eyes looking at him were his only answer.
Bathump.
"What does it mean? Why?!"
The cold, unfocused gaze moved slowly down Allen's body.
And the boy was helpless to watch as those tentacles curled and wrapped around Tyki's body, the man himself screaming in agony.
'Where…'
The black blood kept on dripping onto the floor.
'.. is…'
The wind blew, carrying with itself the dark power now coursing through the transformed man.
'.. my chil…'
Allen's eyes widened, hearing the broken whisper of a man he once knew as Tyki Mikk.
Elsewhere, a certain man dressed in a fat clown costume smiled wickedly behind his mask, whilst looking up at the dark artificial sky, decorated only by thirteen stars.
And currently, one of them was shining as bright as the sun during the cloud-less day.
"So you did it, Tyki-pon? Giving me so much trouble all the time," With one, last glance the Millennium Earl left the musician's room of his new Ark to go and fetch his, now awakened, family member.
'Finding and disposing of it have to wait for another day,' The Earl mused, evidently happy bounce present in his step.
Should he wait for but a moment, he'd notice a very small, barely lit white dot hovering slightly behind the active star.
So, hello :D Recently I re-watched the Dgm and at the episode where Tyki destroys Allen's Innocence I thought 'what if they did the deed and Allen got pregnant?' So this story is basically me matching and twisting anime/manga scenes to match this thought and what happens after. Feel free to ignore it, I'm just indulging myself here since my head is too small to keep it all bottled in :D
