When Allen woke up in a strange place he was in a panic. He was somewhere he didn't recognize in only a shirt covered by a piece of….blanket? Sitting up Allen looked around keeping himself covered by the blanket. It looked like Allen was in a run down hut of a place that Allen now actually recognized based off the smell and sounds. He was near a mine somewhere. Allen worked at plenty of mines when he was traveling around with Cross needing to earn money to pay off Cross' debts.

"Hi…." Someone greeted making Allen jump. Looking to the side Allen saw a blonde kid with a dust mask on. Allen remembered him…he was with Tyki when Allen first met him on the train.

"Uh… hi…. Is… Is Tyki around…?" Allen asked hoping Tyki was somewhere nearby. Allen didn't like the idea of Tyki leaving him in some strange place with people he didn't know. Especially after what happened with someone he thought he knew.

"No. He said he had to leave to do some stuff. He asked us to keep you safe. Momo and Clark are working right now…" The boy explained making Allen sigh in disappointment.

"Did he say when he might be back?" Allen asked hoping Tyki didn't plan on being away too long. Allen didn't know what to do or where to go right now after what happened with Kanda.

"He said he would be a few days… He usually is gone for weeks at a time…. My name is Eeez by the way…" The boy said clearly smiling when he introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you… I'm Allen…" Allen said smiling his usual very well practiced fake smile. Closer to dinner time Clark and Momo came back to the hut, Momo had some clothes for Allen to wear which wasn't the most appealing. It made Allen look like all the other miners. Which was actually probably a good idea…to blend in. Momo also gave Allen a bandana to help Allen cover his hair which stood out like a sore thumb.

Allen stayed with the three of Tyki's friends for about a week. He stayed in the hut with Eeez helping him cook meals for the two mine workers. Honestly Allen kind of missed this life. Just traveling around doing what jobs he could to get along. After about a week and a half Tyki popped back up in his 'human' form which threw Allen off for a second because he was used to Tyki's noah form at this point.

"Hello Allen… How are you…?" Tyki asked cupping Allen's cheek caressing it gently as he stared down at Allen. He had missed Allen but he had had work to do. Tyki still had work he had to do for the Earl to keep the Earl happy. The Earl didn't care what Tyki did as long as Tyki did the tasks assigned to him.

"I missed you…" Allen said hugging Tyki tightly as he had really missed Tyki. He had started to think that Tyki had abandoned him with his friends after what happened with Kanda. Why would Tyki want anything to do with Allen after that? Allen was tainted. Tyki wrapped his arms around Allen holding him close.

"I'm sorry. I had other work to do…. How did the others take care of you? Were they nice?" Tyki asked gently stroking the top of Allen's head even though Allen had that bandana on.

"They were nice… What happens now Tyki….?" Allen asked looking up at Tyki. Were they going to travel around with the others? Did Allen have to go back to the Order? What was the next step?

"Well….for now how about we just travel with the others? I'm still trying to work out the next step. And if anyone asks I kidnapped you…" Tyki said keeping an arm around Allen's waist as he led Allen back over to the others when their private conversation was over.

"Tyki…. Can we go somewhere else for a bit?" Allen asked whispering as the group of wanderers were sitting around a camp fire out in the middle of god knows where. They had just finished dinner and everyone was starting to get ready for bed.

"Hm? Sure. We can go for a walk." Tyki said as he stood up helping Allen to h is feet. The two walked away from the group talking a walk towards the river that wasn't too far from the camp. The group had been traveling around for about two months now with Tyki having left a few times to do work for the Earl. Tyki and Allen hadn't had any time alone since that time in the hotel. Traveling around with Tyki's friends made it challenging to be alone.

"Are you okay Shounen?" Tyki asked as they now sat down by the river. He was worried there was something wrong with Allen and that was why he wanted to get away.

"I'm fine…. I just… We haven't been alone in a while is all…." Allen said as he sat with his knees to his chest with his arms wrapped around his legs. He had brought his blanket with him and had it draped around himself since it was a little cold right now. Tyki looked over at Allen studying him. Allen seemed…. Shy and nervous right now.

"Shounen…" Tyki called making Allen look over at him before he kissed Allen deeply. The Noah was happy when Allen didn't hesitate to kiss him back. After what happened with Kanda, Tyki figured Allen didn't want to be touched by anyone, not even him. Tyki was giving Allen some time to recover. "Shounen? Why are you crying?" Tyki asked when he saw that tears were trickling down Allen's cheeks.

"I'm sorry… I'm just…. Relieved? I thought… that maybe you weren't interested in me anymore because of what happened…." Allen said trying to wipe away his tears. Since Tyki hadn't even attempted anything with Allen, the albino feared that Tyki wanted nothing to do with him sexually now.

"Oh…. Shounen… No. I just… remember what I told you? I detest rapists… And I want my partner to enjoy themselves… I worried that if I did anything too soon it would scare you… I don't want that… I am waiting for you to say you want to do something rather than ask and make you feel like you have to…" Tyki explained helping Allen to wipe away his tears but Allen only cried more as Tyki spoke.

"I want you to…. I miss you… The last time I was touch was by him… I don't like that…." Allen said still crying which made Tyki pull Allen into a tight embrace.

"Okay…. I'll take that away….." Tyki replied rubbing Allen's back before he pulled away so his could kiss Allen. As they kissed Tyki removed the bandana that was on Allen's head freeing Allen's long white hair. Carefully Tyki made Allen lay down on the blanket Allen had around himself. As they made out Tyki worked to gently undressed Allen doing his best to not overwhelm Allen. Tyki was gentle the whole time, more gentle than he had ever been with anyone. Even though Tyki was more gentle and slow Allen was clearly enjoying this pace way more. Allen's moans were so…perfect and pleasure filled. Tyki wanted so much more of that. And he wanted to take away those bad memories Allen had from the last time he had been touched by another man.
