Hi! This chapter is Tyki-Allen centric since a reader asked me to add the Poker Pair

Beta by the incredible Erihan, all remaining mistakes are mine

Enjoy!

Tyki was in a hurry to leave the ark. Striding with one hand in his pocket, the other holding a half full plastic bag, and a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth, the tips of his coat wobbled up and down with his walking. He turned the corner and stopped at a door leading to a mausoleum in Stockholm, Sweden. He spat the cigarette to the floor.
He felt furious, that morning, after sunset, he went to the Earl, to tell about Kanda and the agreement he had made with the red haired hunter. And what had the Earl done? Nothing! Minutes later, Kanda Yu came to the top of the tower to report having done his morning shift supervision, and all the fat vampire said was "Well done, Kanda-pon, Take the rest of the day off" with his usual maniacal smile. No point in going to the Earl. He was going to take matters into his own hands.
Once in Stockholm, Tyki, roamed the clubs and bars until he spotted a black hood of the order and began to follow the hunter until he stood outside a nightclub. Tyki walked over and put his hand on the shoulder of the hunter, who turned his head in surprise. It was the silver-haired one with the evil eye.
- Tyki, what are you do ...
The Portuguese just smiled graciously and took from his pocket a deck of cards tied with a rubber band.
- ... ing here-Allen saw the cards, and his face became evil. - I hope you brought enough peanuts. -he said this, and the two walked side by side as if nothing to the motel where Allen was staying in the city. The Order did not like spending much money, therefore rented good rooms when a mission involved more than two weeks and three or more hunters. Allen was investigating some mysterious disappearances in the area alone, so the order was too stingy to give him a decent space to stay. The room had a bed, a wardrobe, a window and a small bathroom where no hot water was available
When Allen entered the room he took off his coat of the Order, and threw it on the bed, Tyki also got rid of his coat and then sat on the floor with legs crossed and the market stock aside. Allen did the same. Tyki gave a bunch of the contents of the bag to the little hunter, unshelled peanuts, and began to shuffle the cards, making sure the bad cards went to the silver haired boy. They began to play.
This scene of the two betting peanuts, and the cursed child mercilessly winning had become common in the last weeks, since the Portuguese had tried to deceive Allen into speaking about Lavi.

Flashback

Covered by the shadows of an alley, Tyki smoked a cigarette while watching people pass by the street perpendicular to the dark alley where he was in. Soon he spotted his victim, a small albino with the black uniform of the Dark Order approaching the intersection of the streets walking at a steady pace.
5 meters away.
Upon seeing the young man, Tyki could not help smiling wickedly, that brat would be an easy prey to his sleight of hands, he almost felt sorry for him.
3 meters.
Tyki threw the cigarette to the ground and crushed it with a stomp.
1 meter.
The albino passed in front of Tyki looking straight ahead, without suspicion of what would happen in a moment. The Portuguese raised his arm up and took the boy by the shoulder of the red arm with as much pressure as possible. Allen felt a deep pain in his arm out of nowhere and, with a grimace of discomfort reflected in the face, put his other hand on his shoulder to ease the pain and, oh surprise, there was a hand squeezing his anti-vampire weapon. Quickly, Allen turned his head to see who was imprisoning him and found a pair of golden eyes, ashen skin and a naughty smile. It was a marked vampire.
-If you want to preserve your life, you better act normally and take me to where you stay, boy. - Threatened the vampire in a casual voice. Allen stood looking over his shoulder at the vampire coldly. - Walk, boy, unless you want me to rip off your arm. - The small albino screamed in pain as Tyki squeezed to prove his point and when he verified the other was serious, he led him to his hotel.
The room where the hunter was in was humble. It had a small bathroom, a window, a small drawer and bed. Was no more than 3 meters deep and 5 long.
The Portuguese stopped Allen before he entered with a squeeze on the shoulder. With a loving glance and a smile, capable of melting anyone, he asked
- I can come in? You have to let me in, because if you don't, your arm is going to stay in my hand.
-You can come in-Allen said reluctantly. It was annoying that the vampire always threatened to cut off his arm.
Tyki, satisfied with the response of the albino, came behind him and closed the door locked once they were inside then he released Allen's arm roughly, pushing him to the bed, where the albino unceremoniously fell. Allen turned to attack the vampire but when he did, he was gone. The hunter stood up and looked around the room, but he found nothing.
Suddenly something lifted him up from the neck and slammed him against the ceiling and then throws him against the wall violently, causing him to hurt his head before falling to the ground face down. It took less than 3 minutes for Allen to be from the bed to the floor, watching blurry and with an annoying ringing in the ears, where a heavy body materialized over him, crushing his stomach.
-Let's play a game, bo ~ y. - The vampire said playfully. - Rule one, if I win you will answer a question and the other way around ; rule two, only one question per match;; rule three questions must be answered truthfully; rule four, I'll kill you if you do not cooperate. Simple isn't it?.
- And what game are you talking about? - Very annoyed the hunter asked, seeing that he had no choice. The vampire pulled something out of his coat and put it in the range of vision of an Allen who glared at him, it was an English deck. Allen's smile widened as his eyes got diabolically brilliant, but it left as quickly as it came, replaced by an innocent smile - I must warn you that I'm good at gambling, said the silver-haired innocently.
-So am I. - said the Portuguese, amused.
Tyki rolled off Allen and offered him a hand. The albino hesitated a second and then accepted the help. Then they sat on either side of the bed and began to play.
Tell me what you know about Lavi. - Tyki ordered. With a full house of aces and tens, he had won the first hand. Allen was perplexed, why did this vampire want to know about Lavi? He stared at the Portuguese for a few minutes until he was pulled from his thoughts by him - Well? - It was a bad idea to let him win, to know what the vampire wanted..
-He is a partner in the Order ...
-I know he's a hunter, tell me. Who is? - Tyki interrupted in a severe tone.
- He's a naughty, relaxed, friendly and a womanizer redhead who keeps reading, I don't know much of him, although we're friends, he's very quiet. - Allen said biting his lip at the end, it was horrible to sell a friend to an evil vampire.
- Well, that's enough. Your turn to distribute, kid. - Tyki said in good humor handing the deck to the albino. Allen took the cards. Time for payback.
Nimbly, the cheater boy shuffled the cards, giving Tyki the bad ones and saving, without being seen, the four kings under his sleeve. The ashen-skinned vampire lost with two pairs and Allen won with his poker of kings.
- Why do you want to know about Lavi? - Asked the albino after putting his cards in front of the Portuguese.
-Hmmm. - Tyki was impressed, he did not seriously think that the brat would beat him, but he had to respect his own rules. - Someone I usually work with is going out with the hunter, and I wouldn't like him to get me into trouble with the Millennium Earl . If someone is going to get hurt its going to be just that cranky bastard.
- What?! Lavi?'s Dating another man? - Allen asked puzzled. - I don't believe it, Lavi is a womanizer, he likes a girl out of ten. - He reasoned that once he processed the information.
'I told the truth, why lie when I made the rules?
- Why should I trust a vampire who threatened to cut off my arm?
- Touché. Another game?
- Yes, still I have doubts.

End of flashback

After that, Allen had won the following three hands before Tyki left. He had wheedled out Kanda's name, as was the case of semi-humans and made him promise to return to play with him to continue, but since then no questions were asked about their "homes" and their "families". Above all they played strip poker (although at the end the clothes were returned), asking questions about each other or betting peanuts, like now. During this times, Tyki used to scold Allen for eating the poker chips. It can be said that they took a liking to each other.

Please, review... I get depressed when you don't
