Tyki's eyebrows rose as he saw the scars, not to mention the tattoo. He shifted a little closer, slipping his arms around the other man and played his fingers down over the tattooed back. Fascinating.
"Hmmm? No, dear, it's not Dark," he purred, very softly. Possibly too softly to actually draw him out of the realm of sleep, though not so soft that he wouldn't hear him.
Tyki allowed himself to be pushed, though not right off the bed. He released Rufus instantly when Rufus tried to push him away, though, and pushed himself up onto his elbows. He smirked at Rufus in amusement.
"I have no idea where Dark is, but you invited me here. I suppose you don't remember, but I simply traced the signal from the voice post you made."
He shifted, the blanket falling a bit away from his dark skin, though not completely exposing him, and turned to face Rufus again. "I'm afraid you've been kidnapped again, Rufus."
The way Rufus kept on hiding from him, sitting in that vulnerable position and covering himself, just made Tyki salivate more, regretting letting him up and not pushing things even further.
But he was reining himself in. Hard.
"Oh? I thought you at least pretended to be principled. Are you suggesting that I go find some innocent person to torture and kill? Some random person I might find on a street somewhere, perhaps?" he asked, chuckling.
"Or perhaps you have someone in mind?"
That last was said with honest curiosity, as he leaned a little closer again.
Figuring out Rufus' location thankfully didn't take long; Dark didn't think he could manage running around for five days just to find him a second time. The fact that Rufus' life was burning a little bit stronger helped tremendously, and Dark materialized into the room the moment he found it, feathers falling onto the floor.
A tanned bare back could have been anyone, but Tyki's unique aura couldn't be hid from Dark, nor could where Rufus was. Without bothering to think first, Dark called out his wings and flicked them forward, sending hundreds of black feathers right into Tyki's back. Each one went in halfway through all at once.
Tyki wasn't expecting a dark-winged angel to suddenly appear behind him and shower him with razor-sharp feathers. He jerked in surprise when he felt the pain, and reflexively went immaterial to avoid the rest. That might have saved him from even worse scarring, or even saved his life.
Several dozen feathers buried themselves in his back, and the majority of them went through him.
He pitched forward, his eyes wide with shock, and caught himself on his hands and knees, swearing as blood dropped onto the sheets. He turned slightly, his lips parted as he gasped, and glared at Dark.
The man was also completely naked, and there were a dozen black feathers embedded in his back. It was from the wounds caused by those feathers that the man was bleeding, bizarre as that sounded.
Tyki groaned as he heard the voice, opening golden eyes and looking up at the boy. He might not have realized who it was in his current state, if it weren't for the fact that it couldn't really be anyone else but Kaito Kid. He looked a little like that friend of Hakuba's, to Tyki's blood-loss-fogged brain, but that didn't really click. "Fucking...Dark," he growled.
He was still pissed off, not surprisingly. It wasn't like he'd hurt Rufus in any significant way. And how dare Dark actually hurt him? Tyki never got hurt!
Tyki shook his head, raising a hand and putting it over Kid's, pushing the mirror down. "No I don't but...F-forget it. I...I just need to get back to my doorway. It's in the West wall..."
He gritted his teeth and pushed himself up onto his hands and knees. He closed his eyes and darkness swirled around him, forming into formal clothes of a Victorian style.
Zechs' face, as it had been when the Kaitou Kid collected him, was like stone. More emotionless than the appearances he had put upon as a soldier. No, for all the Kid may be able to tell, Zechs Marquise seemed to be a complete unfeeling bastard.
In truth, he was about three breaths away from panic. The words injury, blood loss and collapse kept running through his mind like lashing rain in a storm. If he hadn't had an armful of supposed magic potions - his cynical mind could try to reason out how they worked later - he'd have half of the Martian Station's medical technicians with him now, and damn the consequences. But for now, it seemed he had the tools and the ability to help Tyki, and he trusted himself to work faster than anyone else
( ... )
Vaguely aware that he was no longer alone, Tyki stirred. He shifted, aware that he was laying face down, and that he felt very dizzy and strange, like a veil had been drawn between himself and the world.
That must have been a hell of a bender. I don't remember it, and I'm still drunk, he thought.
He opened his eyes and saw blond hair in his field of vision. "Zechs..." he purred. He tried to reach for his lover, but his hand only twitched.

Somehow, he wasn't surprised to see him.
