Tyki's POV:

I walked into Allen's room after talking with Rode not knowing what I would find but I was not expecting Allen to be awake. My heart fluttered like a bird in flight I wanted to embrace him in my arms to see if Allen was really awake and not a figment of my imagination. I then saw that Allen was trying to speak but nothing came.

"It's ok Allen your fine now. Let me get you a glass of water… You know you had Rode and I worried you have been out for nine days."

I poor some water in a glass putting it down on the bedside table and slowly sat Allen up as I sat behind him. I leaned Allen agents me and tipped the glass of water agents his lips as he soon started to drink the water greedily.

"Slow down Allen or you're going to get sick again."

"…Sorry I was really thirsty…"

"I know but you need to take it slow. Do you need anything? Are you hungry?…"

"I feel so…the best way I can describe it is that I feel at peace… it's nice."

"I'm glad you feel so."

Just then Allen's stomach gave a loud growl. Let's just say I thought it was a dog growling not a stomach.

"I'll get you something to eat your probably starving."

"My stomach maybe growling but I don't feel hungry I feel thirsty but not hungry."

"Well I'll get you something to drink along with a bowl of soup."

"Thanks…For everything."

"No problem Allen."

I walked out of the room and went to get some more food and a pitcher of water and some juice to get more sustenance into him. By the time I was finished I had a tray filled with a large bowl of chicken noodle soup, some grapes, crackers, Jell-O, and a glass of OJ along with a pitcher of water. I slowly when to Allen's room using my powers to pass right through the door. Allen didn't even know I was even in the room he was just spacing out that is until I cleared my voice that's when he noticed me.

"Sorry I hope I didn't scare you."

"No No you didn't scare me just a bit startled now Kanda he scares me a little and Master Crosses Bills are terrifying."

"At least you're feeling better."

"Why do you say that?"

"You're cracking jokes and you're smiling a bit."

"I didn't even notice to tell you the truth."

"You need to eat or you won't regain your strength."

"I don't know what I can keep down but I will try to eat."

"Good boy."

Allen's POV:

I didn't eat much of what Tyki brought me. I only ate half the soup, the small bowl of Jell-O, a few grapes, none of the crackers, and took a few sips of the OJ. But Tyki seemed content that I ate something none the less.

"Tyki?"

"Yes."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?"

"Taking care of me?"

"…The Earl has plans for you and I can't let…"

Tyki suddenly stopped talking as Rode kicked him in the gut causing a loud crash and Tyki flying across the small room hard.

"Stupid Tyki tell him the truth or I will drop kick you into next week!"

"Ow that hurt Rode."

"Tyki Rode please don't fight."

"Were not fighting Allen I'm just teaching Tyki a lesson that is ending in the usual bickering."

"Dame Rode I think you throughout my back."

"Here let me stretch it out for you."

Rode stepped on Tyki's back as she held his arms causing immense amount of pain and loud cracking and grinding sounds from his bones.

"Rode stop that hurts…!"

"Then tell the truth."

"I will I will just stop and let me go!"

"Ok I was getting bored with this any way."

Rode let go and Tyki flopped on the ground gowning as the pain became worse. I watched as Rode sat at the end of the bed I was in and smile at me. For some reason I have always had a connection to her but I didn't know how but I felt at ease around her but only that. When she looked at the food I didn't eat she gave me a sad look but I just gave a smile. When Tyki didn't get up I was about to get up and help when Rode came over to me and whispered in my ear.

"Allen you really need to eat more…"

"I know I'm just not hungry at the moment."

"You have been like this for five and a half months now Allen."

"How did you?"

"I have been watching you and I'm glad I did."

"I don't know if I should yell or I should thank you."

Rode walked off out of the room giving Tyki one last kick before she completely exited the room.

"Ow Rode's kick are like a mules…They hurt like hell…"

"Are you all right?"

"I owe you an apology Allen. Rode's right I need to tell the truth…"

"…Tyki you don't have to tell me now. And frankly I don't think I can keep awake any longer…I'm so tired."

"Then sleep you need it."

"And Tyki, Thank you again."

Tyki's POV:

I watched Allen drift off to sleep making sure he did go to sleep and not have any nightmares. I soon followed pulling up a chair to sit by Allen laying my head on the bed and wrapping my hand around his. I just hopped that Allen would get better soon.

Normal POV:

Days turned into weeks as Allen recovered from both the fever and poor nutrition. During those weeks Tyki stayed with Allen as much as he could they talked about anything they came up with.

Tyki's POV:

"I heard from Rode once that when she first meet you that you were outside a playhouse for a performance of 'The Pumpkin and the Witch' you were doing a lot of acrobatics. How did you learn such a thing? I highly doubt that the Black Order trains there exorcists in acrobatics."

"Well to tell you that you will have to know everything. But I highly doubt you want to hear my life's story…"

"On the contrary my dear Allen. I would love to hear more about you all I really know is what I have seen and heard from Rode."

"Fine but I warn you that this is sort of a long story."

"I have all the time in the world."

"Well don't say I didn't warn you. When I was a baby I was abandoned by my parent because of my arm. It wasn't until I was five when I was picked up by a circus I was used as an extra pair of hands. But no one would come near me and they talked to me from a distance so I grew cold and ever more distant. I was eight when I officially started to talk to mana it was after his dog passed away. We started talking more and more and we became close we ended up being entertainers together. Mana adopted me and for four years we traveled on our own and I came to know him as my father so when Mana was struck down by a runaway horse and carriage I was distraught. Since we didn't have much money the only thing I could a ford was a tombstone for Mana…I had to dig his grave and place his body in it. After I had finished laying Mana to rest is when the Millennium Earl came and you know the rest. I was cursed by Mana to see the souls of thee Akuma, I destroyed my father found out that I was an accommodator for innocence and when master Cross took me in and started to train me as an exorcist. Now you know my past. Mana taught me everything I know about entertaining…I think that why my innocence evolved like it did."

"You really did love Mana very much."

"He was the only one who treated me like a normal human…I shouldn't even say human now…I don't even know what I am any more. Human, Exorcists, 14th, Noah, or something that I don't even know?!"

"…It will be fine Allen I'll protect you no matter what."

" What about the Earl?"

"What about him?"

"Would you fight him to protect me?"

"Yes!"

"Why? Why would you risk yourself for me?"

"I have been keeping this from you but…Allen Walker I Tyki Mikk am madly and totally in love you."

"…You love me?"

"Yes Allen I love you."

"Tyki…I-I love you too!"

I couldn't help myself I grabbed Allen's arms and I held him close as he returned the action. We stayed like that for a few minutes as Allen pulled away a bit.

"Tyki? Could we take this slow? I have never been in a relationship before…So I want to experience this as long as I can."

"Of course Allen we can do this as fast or as slow as you wish. But remember this I am all way's here for you."

The End
