It was the day before the meeting when Tyki finally approached him. Somehow the man had gotten Road to go bother the Earl, right after Tyki had dragged Allen inside one of the buildings.

"So can I speak without you snapping at me?" Allen asked sarcastically.

Tyki wasn't paying attention. He was walking around the room running his hand along the walls. When he was satisfied, he brushed whatever dust collected on his gloves on his suit before turning to face the Shounen. "It's safe to talk. I want this to be quick so no interrupting."

Allen nodded.

In a serious tone Tyki began, "Tomorrow afternoon the Earl Millennium will open a gate. It will remain open for five minutes after everyone has passed though. You'll remain in your room until a Tease of mine appears, don't piss your pants when it does. Follow it and it'll lead you to the gate."

Allen waited a few seconds to make sure Tyki was done talking before he asked, "Why is the gate staying open?"

The Noah shrugged, "In case the meeting goes wrong I suppose."

"Within the first five minutes?"

Tyki smirked, "The people we engage with would seem intimidating to you. They don't get along with each other."

Allen raised a brow. From what he gathered the meeting was with humans, and Tyki had mentioned it was political. Why would the Noah be interested in something like that? He tsked and said, "Don't tell me Sheril's the president of some country."

A smile grew on Tyki's face, by the way it twisted he couldn't tell if it was in disapproval or pleasure. "Not the president, he's a Minister. As am I."

Allen's expression grew into shock and he exclaimed, "You're a minister?! But in your human form-you look like a bum!"

Tyki rolled his eyes itching his head as he did. "No need for the insult. My human appearance looks just like me as I am now. I just change my hair, put on a pair of glasses, some dirty clothes them bam! White me." [1]

"White?" Allen questioned.

"White is what I call-" Tyki stopped mid-sentence a stupefied look coming over him. With a groan Tyki headed towards the door. "Why the hell am I even telling you all this? Go back to Road!"

Sudden anger bubbled up inside him and he shouted back, "Why the hell are you telling me all this you creeper?! I didn't come to listen to your double personality problems!"

Tyki tsked and sported an evil grin, "Double personality problems? You shouldn't be talking, Mister 14th!"

He did not just go there.

Allen chuckled darkly feeling 'Black Allen' coming out. "Well, how about a game of poker to decide who has the worst case?"

Tyki grimaced remembering last time he took on Shounen. But he wasn't one to back out of a challenge. "I've been wanting a rematch, Cheater Boy A, you're on."

One hour later we find Tyki Mikk sitting defeated stripped down to his underwear once again. Allen sat victorious across from him the deadly fire of cheating still fresh in his eyes.

Tyki chuckled ruefully, "I see you still cheat good as hell."

Allen blinked innocently. "It was mere luck."

The Noah scoffed, "Sure."

(A/n

[1] I've seen Tyki mention his Noah and Human personalities be like white and black. He was using that reference here.

Hey guys! A few things. Firstly, I forgot that sometime during the N.A Branch battle arc Lavi and Bookman were kidnapped. For now they're free (yayy xD)!

And secondly, I might make a sequel to this. This is actually coming to a wrap pretty soon. This will be the first multichapter fanfic I'll finish so I'll feel accomplished.

This chapter was a filler so it's kinda short, we'll see some action in the next chap. Thanks for reading! Until next time!)
