Chapter 1: Family

It was quiet as the Earl came back from finding the young boy. He figured it was probably because it was one in the morning, so everyone must have been asleep. What he didn't know was that Road was awake, having waited for a few hours until he came home. Unfortunately to Tyki Mikk, the Noah of Pleasure, he was dragged to stay up and wait as well. As he yawned, Road continued to kick her feet back and forth.

"I hope Millennie comes home soon~ He said that there was something important he had to deal with." she said to her favorite uncle. He yawned again, petting her head gently.

"I'm sure he'll be back soon, Road~ So don't worry alright?" he replied to her tiredly. She nodded back, smiling happily as the door opened to reveal the Millennium Earl's return. Her grin grew, coming over and tackled the older man.

"Millennie~! Your back!" she yelled enthusiastically. He didn't ever so slightly flinch from her tackle, smiling gently at Road. He laughed gently.

"Hello to you too Road~ Just be careful, ok? We have a young new family member." he said, gently setting her down. Both her as well as Tyki blinked, noticing then that the Earl was holding a young child, who was currently sleeping, curled in the Earl's arms.

"Did you say new family member, Earl-sama?" Tyki asked the eldest. The Earl nodded, smiling his usual big smile. He motioned for the other two to follow him as he explained the situation about the child and how he met him. When Tyki and Road found out that this young child was the Fourteenth Noah himself, they're eyes went from wide to gentle.

"The Fourteenth~ He's really returned to us." Road said, smiling down at little Allen gently. Tyki smiled as well at the young child as the Earl gentle gave Tyki the sleeping boy.

"I want you to take care of him, Tyki. Teach him and such, alright?" the Earl said, a little darkly to Tyki. He nodded, gulping a bit, knowing that if he didn't the Earl would be most likely to do something disastrous. As they reached Tyki's bedroom, Allen started to stir in Tyki's arms.

"H-huh?" he yawned, rubbing his eye cutely. He looked up to see Tyki, a man he didn't know, carrying him. A little frightened he asked shaking a little.
"Wh-Who are you, mister? Where am I?"

Tyki smiled at the young boy.

"Don't worry, shonen. Your home, where you belong. The Earl brought you here." he said calmly to him. As if on cue, the Earl looked at Allen happily.

"Morning Allen-kun~ Don't worry about him, he's harmless and family." he said gently, petting his head. A high pitched squeal was heard, everyone looking over to at Road.

"HE'S SO CUTE, MILLENNIE!" she squealed some more, coming over and hugged Allen after he was set down on the ground. He looked at her with a bit of confusion.

"E-Excuse me, miss? Wh-Who are you?" he asked both Tyki and Road. They smiled, seeing that he wasn't used to all this attention.

"Our apologies, shonen. My name is Tyki Mikk, and this is Road. Of course you already know the Earl, and later today you'll get to meet the rest of our family. Even if they are a bit weird." He chuckled. Allen nodded, repeating the names of his new family members he just met. The Earl smiled gently.

"Now, why don't we all get some rest? I'm sure we've all had a long day, especially Allen-kun." he replied, gently patting Allen's head. He smiled sadly up at the Earl, his yawn obviously showing that he was indeed tired. Tyki looked at Allen, kneeling down to his height.

"I hope you don't mind sleeping with me for the night, shonen. Just until we can get your room set up. I want to make sure that you don't have any bad dreams of the horrible things you've been through today. Is that alright with you?" he asked. Allen blinked. Never, in all his life, had he been asked to sleep with someone else. Even his birth parents weren't this kind to him. He was dumbfounded on how these people, who he just met could treat him like family, when since he was a baby, he was called a demon child because of his arm. Thinking of these thoughts, he started crying.

"Why..." he whispered. Tyki and the others looked at him a bit puzzled. Slowly he looked at Tyki with tearful eyes. "Why are you all being so kind to me?"

Then they understood. Tyki pulled the boy into a gentle hug.

"Your our family, Allen. That's why. You mean the world to us." he explained.

"B-but I just met you. How can I mean so much to you when I've only known you all for ten minutes?" he said, shaking a bit. Tyki rubbed his back soothingly.

"We might have just met in this life, but in our past one we were extremely close, shonen." he said calmly, continuing to rub his back.

"O-Our past life? What do you mean?" he asked, looking up at Tyki with teary eyes. Tyki smiled gently, ruffling his hair a bit.

"Why don't I tell you tomorrow, shonen? It's getting awfully late and you've been through enough today. Alright?" he replied. Allen nodded slowly, leaning into his arms a bit. Right now, he just needed to be held. He wanted to be warm for once and have no worries about the dangers he was going to have to face the next day. Tyki gently picked the boy up, nodding to the Earl and Road that they were going to bed.

"Night, Earl-sama~ Night Road~" he said, walking into his room with Allen close to him.

"Night, Tyki." the Earl and Road replied back. As Tyki closed his door, he noticed that the boy would need some proper pajamas. After thinking for a while, he concluded that it would be fine to give the boy one of his night shirts. He gently set the boy down on the bed.

"I'll be right back shonen~" he said while walking into his closet. Allen nodded, looking around the room a bit. It was quiet big for one person to be living in. He noticed a bookshelf in the room, and went to go see if he could find a fairy tale book. Unfortunately he couldn't reach the higher shelves, so it was harder for him to find one. As Tyki came back into the room, he noticed Allen trying to find the book and chuckled to himself.

"Want some help?" he chuckled a bit, coming over with the night shirt. The younger of the two, blushed, nodding a little to him. The elder smiled, gently picking up the book that was wanted by Allen and motioned for them to go over to the bed. Allen followed and was helped out of his old close and into the night shirt. Tyki chuckled to himself, seeing that the shirt was way too big for him. He lifted Allen unto the bed and under the covers, going under them himself. Allen shifted closer to the elder, listening as Tyki began to read the story. He didn't last long though as he drifted off into a deep sleep. Tyki smiled, setting the book aside and held Allen close.

"Sweet dreams, shonen~" he said as he too fell asleep.
