I want you more than I can know )
It was even more of a shock to the Noah that he found Haku to be beautiful, even more beautiful than before, and he could do nothing to stop his thoughts from running rampant. The man almost laughed at himself, he hadn't known that he swung that way. It was pure and utter disbelief as he realized that his feelings hadn't changed. The truth was that he'd never seen a physique quite so dainty and yet strong at the same time.
"Haku you...you're a boy?" He stammered. It didn't change that he wanted to embrace him, in fact, he leaned forward and dared to brush his fingertips over the exposed flesh, unsure as to what he should say.

"I am, I am sorry for not correcting you." He allowed his fingertips to touch his skin, shivering just a little at the contact. It felt weird to have someone touch him in such a way and yet it was almost something that could have him eating out of the palm of Tyki's hand there.

The Noah resigned himself not to think about this too hard, not to look a gift horse in the mouth, to hold on to what was in front of him: a beautiful, lovely person. Haku really was a flower, more precisely a rose. He could pierce you, but he was so beautiful to look at. Tyki almost felt like he should apologize for touching the boy, but couldn't bring himself to. In fact, he wanted to touch him more.
The Noah reached up and brushed the boy's long hair back, still blown away that something male could be so beautiful. He waited for Haku to make a move, closer or further away he didn't know what would happen.

Without much thought he slowly moved forward, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. His hands had let go of the kimono, allowing it to pool at his waist, the tie still there luckily. Tentatively he took hold of Tyki's arm, head placed against his shoulder. His mind slowly began to wander again, relaxing a lot more than he had before. If he wanted to get more information out of him now was the time to truly do so.

Tyki absently petted the other's hair, the wall between them gone again. He was feeling Haku's apprehension and the giddy need for being near another. He didn't mind being lost in that feeling, in fact, it was kind of nice. He sighed a little and let his mind wander along side Haku's
Rolling hillsides, and sweltering summer nights.
distant thunder as a man cried out in pain, bleeding from wounds on his forehead. A young girl's face, split into a horrendous grin as she watched. There was a flash of lightning and a short, round man looked down at him with a grin.
Bits of Tyki's past rolled around in his mind unbidden. There was a moment of pause as he drifted into Haku's mind instead. So much fighting, so much blood. It seemed difficult. They weren't so different in the end.

However, when he slowly began drifting off he was startled out of his sleep by Tyki's thoughts of the time. Frowning he looked up at him with a curious look on his face, he knew that that was something no one should've been thinking of and it actually upset the shinobi a bit to see it.
"What... was that?"

"My... transformation. The day I became what I am now." He said, voice low. There was a moment of sadness as he knew that he had recalled the dark day again, even if it was unconscious. "My life ended and began that day." He said in a near whisper.
The Noah leaned down, and pressed a kiss to the top of Haku's head. He went back to stroking the boy's hair, feeling drowsy himself.
Don't worry about it, my flower. It is a pain that I've left behind long ago.

Right...
Sighing he tried to settle down again, eventually drifting off. But even then his mind was apt to wander. Wandering back to his past once more. The warmth and happiness he had had with his family and then being ripped away from him yet again. The fright he had held when he was sure he was going to be killed. Nothing that was pleasant there.
A tiny whimpering was heard from him during the time, clinging oh so tighter and trying to bury his face against him for some sort of comforting action. It was a nightmare, this was true.

Tyki jumped and he gently shook Haku, stroking the pale flesh of his face. It had to be the shinobi's dream he was seeing, and he didn't want him to suffer it any longer.
"Haku... Haku, wake up" he said softly.
Reply
With wide eyes he looked up at him, looking for any little sign of reassurance he could get. It would take him some time to get back to sleep and every moment before it would probably be spent trying to calm himself down.
"A-ah...?"

"Oh Haku... are you alright? What...what was that?" He asked, the worry that he felt evident in his voice.
Now Tyki felt even more guilty about absently letting him in on his past. Had all of the blood given him a nightmare? No, of course not. No matter how young and innocent the Shinobi seemed, he was indeed that. A trained killer. They both knew blood, both knew the feeling of someone's life ebbing under their hands. What did it mean?
"It seemed so much pain." He trailed off.
Reply
"That... that was part of my history. The way I had become an orphan. My mother was killed simply because her blood allowed her to create ice and for the same reason I was almost killed by my father and that mob. But I got to them first, in self-defense." His voice slowly trailed off, not exactly sure what else he could say for the situation.
He had already said too much, really, his history was something he cared not to retell unless absolutely necessary. But, considering his little nightmare it had been all too necessary to reveal at least a part.

"We have...suffered." He said flatly, his heart showing more of what he felt than his words. Tyki wasn't an unsympathetic person. He was one to mind his own business though, and in this case it was less than impossible. He kissed the boy's forehead and sincere amber eyes watched him.
"I feel like I should thank you...for letting me get this close." He was truly grateful, not used to connections between anyone but the Noah family, particularly with Road and the Twins. It made him sigh, it made him miss them even more. And it was a ping of pain in his heart. But being here with Haku made it a little easier. Just a little.

"Ah? Why would you need to thank me for such a thing?" The concept made no sense in the shinobi's mind, thanking someone for showing them their weakness. It was entirely a baffling experience that he wasn't sure exactly how to cope with, but slowly he was learning the way for him to cope.
"It is I who should be thanking you," he added as a secondary thought, burying his face back into his arm again. Not thinking really he inhaled his scent, squirming around a little to get comfortable again.
