[RL with Tyki]

[clockmaster]

(It takes place just after this)

After the crowned city of Junon, the calm atmosphere of Ekoda's afternoon was something welcome. There was no one on the street to notice their arrival.

Hakuba wasn't quite sure how this meeting was going to be played. It was a sensation he should be used to, the uncertainty. He was never certain when it came to the Phantom Thief. But he usually didn't leave butterflies wiggling in the pit of his belly like today.

The detective had very little qualms about admitting that he was a bit of a control freak. But sometimes you had to give up some control to gain control. He wanted to know more about the other man, so he was able to tell him about himself too. After all, Tyki already knew that he was trying to defeat a secret organization, what he didn't know yet is how far the (K)id and he were going to reach that goal.

Tyki was still holding him close, Hakuba tuned his head to him to see a pair of golden eyes staring at his own from scant millimeters away.

“My house is that way.” He murmured. “If you don’t mind to walk a bit...”*

((Just gonna clarify some things about how they got there XD))

After entering the doorway, they had walked a short distance through the rather surreal white city to a different door. It wasn't obvious how Tyki had known where to go, but he had appeared to be following a small black butterfly to the correct door.

He had pulled Hakuba close again to step through the doorway, as it had opened right into a brick wall and they had needed to actually pass through solid brick before landing in the street again. Somehow, Tyki was able to do that. And since the doorway was inside the wall, it was invisible, and no one could get to it without Tyki's help.

He smiled at Hakuba's words and gently released him. "Please, lead the way," he said, looking around at the area with interest.

((oh, thanks, I wasn't sure how that door worked ^^' sorry)

Hakuba looked at the brick wall for a moment and then back at Tyki.

"That was really impressive." He said when the other man released him and both started to walk close to each other. "Did you ever visited that Earth? I should asked you about what world are you from."

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

((No problem <3 I just wanted to be sure we were on the same page, because Tyki uses that method a lot))

"I'm from Earth," Tyki said. "But not like this one, either. It's 1899 where I'm from." He glanced at Hakuba curiously. "Where are we, exactly?"

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

((yup, it's a cool method :3 And Hakuba have blue eyes in the manga, and brown/red one in the anime.))

"Really?" Hakuba's eyes glinted when Tyki mentioned the year. As a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, he couldn't help with smile at the mention of the XIX century. "Oh, excuse my manners, we're in Ekoda, japan, year 1990."

He gestured to the city around them. "It nothing special, but more calm than some other places I visited. I'm half england half Japanese, I lived on London the most part of my life, my mother is from there." The stoic detectives face gave nothing away, but his voice changed. "I have asian eyes, but all of my life, I've been called a gaijin, or ourside, by some people because I don't look Asian. I'm feel sometimes that I don't fit in any place for that reason. My eyes change color too, they're blue, but sometimes they become darker brown."

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

Tyki listened curiously to Hakuba's words. He could sense the loneliness behind them. A gaijin in Japan was a poor lot in life, in his time, and apparently it wasn't much better a hundred years in the future.

Of course, in his Japan, all of the humans had now been wiped out completely, but that was a relatively new development.

"I like your eyes," he said with a grin. "Mine change colour, too, but for a different reason." He made a small effort of will and his skin lightened to a swarthy, but pale colour, and his eyes turned from gold to blue. The marks on his forehead were gone without a trace. "You see? This is what I looked like before I awakened as a Noah."

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Hakuba looked at the now un-market forehead, the piercing eyes, and the soft skin with curiosity. The hair was still black, though.

"I don't care much about the way people look. I'm attracted to minds more than bodies." He moved his head to his side a bit, like a falcon pondering his next action. "When you changed?"

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

"A few years ago," Tyki said, shrugging. "I started bleeding from the forehead, and then I was sick for a couple of weeks. It was pretty nasty." He glanced at Hakuba. "Minds are good, but bodies are fun, too," he said mischievously.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"Gotta agree with you in that, Tyki." He smiled back and turned to the street, a familiar building on the distance. Hakuba's house was like his family, quite different from the rest and not totally fitting on japan's standards. It looked like a small mansion, it was higher than the houses next to it, and the style was different too.

"That's my house. There's a huge balcony on the second floor, we can talk there if you want." He informed.

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

Tyki approved, not only of the house in general, but of the way it stood out and didn't quite fit with the houses around it. "That sounds perfect to me," he said. As he walked, he allowed his Noah aspect to come back, his skin darkening and the Crown of Thorns blooming on his forehead once again.

"So if you don't fit in here, how come you don't live in England?" he asked curiously. "You wouldn't stand out there at all."

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

Tyki flirted as naturally as he breathed. He didn't even do it consciously, most of the time. It came with being the avatar of Noah's Pleasure.

And he liked to be flattered. He grinned at Hakuba, liking the idea that he was charming. "Oh, that's not really true," he said. "I'm with someone right now."

Okay, maybe he didn't mind if that was misunderstood.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"That's good.Everyone needs someone." He said cheerily, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You have a nice smile too."

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

Ah well, Hakuba hadn't taken him literally. Tyki chuckled softly.

"The one I'm 'with' is not averse to sharing me, however," he said honestly. "He understands that I am not the monogamous type. It's...in my nature to seek new pleasures wherever they can be found, and I cannot be held back or tied down."

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"If you two understand each other, that's what counts on a relationship. In my opinion, one shouldn't try to change the other, one have to accept how that person is. Not just because people can't change, au contraire, It's because people can change; but then they change again and you keep without understanding them." Hakuba pondered about Tyki's words.

"Pleasure is a relative term. I can find pleasure in more ways that just psychical contact." He smiled mischievously at him. "Not like I don't like it, though."

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

Tyki's expression twisted into a strange combination of longing and possessiveness. "My lover is the only one I've ever known who can understand me," he said.

Then he shook his head quickly, focussing on Hakuba. It was rude to talk about someone else right now! He smiled at the blond. "So can I. When I was talking about pleasures, I meant of all types. The physical ones are just as nice as the less base ones, though. I don't discriminate."

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

When Hakuba noticed Tyki's expression he felt a bit sorry for him. "Good, I don't' like to discriminate either, it's more fun that way." He looked at the red sky, the sun will be gone soon. He wasn't looking at Tyki when he asked the next question.

"When you say understand , you mean that your lover knows about Noah too?" It wasn't really a question, but Hakuba tried to sound less rude as possible.

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Tyki said with a smile. Apparently Hakuba wanted to talk about Zechs. Not that Tyki intended to mention his lover by name in this conversation. He shifted to lean against the railing, watching the setting sun. "But that's not all it means."

He glanced sidelong at Hakuba, smiling lopsidedly. "The other Noah also know about both sides of me, of course, but they only know. They don't understand. And for the most part, it's the same for my human friends. Of those who know, that's nice, but they don't fully understand me, either." He shrugged. "But that's all right."

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"You can past your enterilly life with someone and never really understand him." He gave him a warily smile. "That's why I said I will try." Hakuba studied Tyki's face carefully as he removed his tea languid.

"I want to ask you something about your Noah side. But it's not something very nice and I will understand if you don't answer me. Just let you clear I don't want to judge, just know. " Hakuba scoffed and another cynical smile appeared on his face. "And I know I'm nosy, blame my detective's side."

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

Tyki cupped Hakuba's cheek, pleased that the other man wasn't afraid of him, nor turning away from him now. "You're welcome," he said, a little bemused. No one had ever thanked him for putting his hand through his body before. "And I'm glad you're all right."

"There's no reason why I would ever interfere on your world, with your battles, unless you wanted me to. I know things are different here, and the stakes are - if you'll forgive me - lower." He smiled. "And I really wouldn't recommend getting into the middle with what's going on in my world. The other Noah, and the Exorcists, wouldn't be as kind to you as I am."

Considering how threatening his recent actions had been, that was saying something.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"No harm, no pain..I wanted to know. And there's nothing to forgive, I understand." That was true, his own world wasn't perfect, there was murderers,witches and thieves too, but mostly of them were only human. The others Noah, the detective wasn't interested on meeting them anytime soon, but the words exorcists caught his attention. He will leave that for another day, it was enough for now.

Hakuba caressed Tyki's hand, squeezing it for a moment, and smiled charmingly at him. "Looks like everyone is interested in adding holes to my body. The last time, Kaito and Nancy drugged my tea and I woke up with a piercing. I will let you guess where, and if I still have it"
(OOC: He's talking about the 'family unit virus' I don't think that you was here when that happened. It was fun (http://community.livejournal.com/dramadramaduck/1943253.html))

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

Tyki's eyebrows quirked and he leaned close. "Oh really?" he purred. "Maybe I'll have to investigate that, very...very thoroughly at some point."

His fingers drifted down from Hakuba's cheek, over the boy's throat in a way calculated to make him shiver. They'd talked about sex enough today, he thought. Time to see him blush.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Count on Tyki to make him feel scared and flustered from a moment to another. Hakuba laughed softly, bumping their foreheads together.

“I’m ticklish… don’t do that.” ." He admitted, a smirk still tugging at the corners of his mouth.

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

"How about if I do this?" Tyki purred, then tilted his head and kissed him softly.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

It was one of the rare moments in his life that Saguru Hakuba didn't know what to do. He didn’t move, he didn't even think anymore. His last thought was that the kiss was probably his fault for teasing the other man.

He felt the softest sigh of the light breeze on his blushing face, the sun was gone now. Tyki's lips were warm against his own and it feel really good, but there was something missing.Hakuba couldn't help but think that it was something wrong with the whole scene. Then he thought in a certain red head girl, and the magic was gone. Saguru moved away from him with a sot movement, and he opened his mouth to say something, anything…and found himself completely blank. Where there had been words only moments ago, there was now nothing, like a slate that had been wiped clean of writing.

”You're a good kisser." He said in the end, proud that he didn’t stammer at all.

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

Tyki smiled, aware that Hakuba was uncomfortable and uncertain about why. He didn't want to push Hakuba into something he truly didn't want to do, though it was in his nature to test limits. It was obvious that Hakuba wasn't deeply experienced, not that it hadn't been a nice kiss.

"Did I go too far?" he asked gently, not trying to move closer to him again.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"No.T hat’s not it.” Hakuba assure him."It's fine, really. I just have a lot of things on my mind these days."

Privately, he did have to admit that Tyki was very charming. But he been fighting his feelings for Akako long time since now, and his latest discussion with Kuroba didn't help. Between her frustration with Kaito, Kid, and his nervousness at dealing with Akako, Hakuba did something which he immediately realized was incredibly stupid, but rather useful on the future.

"I need to clarify my ideas, I guess. I hope you don't mind." Hakuba moved his hands to Tyki's face and pulled him forward in a kiss. It was more possessive and provably more awkward than the first one, but Hakuba closed his eyes and didn't care much about it.
