It was cold…really cold….well to be better descriptive it was freezing! Shizuo stuffed his hands in his pockets and trudged through the knee high snow. He really hated winter for this exact reason; the snow would get his pants all wet then he would have to take a hot shower when he got home so he didn't freeze to death. Also wet pants weren't the most comfortable attire; especially if the water freezes before you can get them off so they're stuck to your skin.
The blonde tightened his long scarf around his neck and watched as more snowflakes started falling from the blackened sky. He mentally cursed the season as he felt a few snowflakes sneak their way into the back of his shirt sending shivers up his spine. Shizuo stopped dead when he spotted something small and shivering sitting up against one of the building's walls.
"M-mummy…m-m-mummy!" The infant sobbed into his hands; it was a pale skinned child who didn't look any older than three. He had jet black hair, pink eyes, and was wearing a white coat, white pants, pink shoes, and he had pink headphones on. Shizuo sighed and moved over to the small child.
"Where's your mother little guy?" The blonde asked kneeling down so he was at eye level with the infant.
"M-my mummy left f-f-for a meeting for w-work and I-I wanted to c-come so I f-followed my m-mummy b-b-but I couldn't k-keep up...I c-c-can't find my mummy…or m-my home." The raven haired baby cried; Shizuo starred at the smaller male for a while, trying to think of what to do.
"If you stay out here you'll get sick or freeze to death…do you want to come with me and we can try to find your mother?" The child looked up at him with tear filled eyes and nodded; the blonde slid his arms around the baby and stood up with him in his arms.
"What's your name little guy?" Shizuo asked as he felt the raven wrap his arms around his neck and clutch onto him tightly.
"P-Psyche." Shizuo sighed at the feeling of the infant shaking violently from the cold; he un-wrapped his scarf and wrapped it around the raven haired child.
"Alright Psyche, how old are you?"
"I-I just turned four." Psyche said holding up four tiny fingers to show the blonde; Shizuo grinned and nodded.
"I think we should continue looking for your mother tomorrow, it's already way below zero out here. You can come spend the night at my house and then we'll go looking for your mother first thing in the morning. Ok?" Shizuo said turning around and walking towards his apartment.
"Ok Daddy." Psyche said snuggling into the blonde's arms.
"Daddy?...did he seriously just call me daddy?" the bodyguard thought nervously.
"Oh…no Psyche I'm not your daddy. When we find your mother she'll take you home to your daddy." Shizuo said reassuringly; Psyche looked up at the blonde with bright pink eyes.
"But…I don't have a daddy…you're my new daddy." The infant tilted his head up and kissed Shizuo on the cheek.
"I love you daddy." Psyche said smiling up at his new "daddy".
"Uh…are you hungry? We can get some sushi on the way home." Shizuo said trying to change the subject on being a parent to a child he just found on the street.
"Ok daddy, can I have fatty tuna? It's my favorite, and it's my mummy's favorite to." Shizuo nodded and headed for Russian Sushi. After the two had gotten their sushi the started heading home again; Shizuo grinned when the infant put his white hood over his little head.
"Can I hold that bag daddy?" Psyche asked reaching out towards the bag with their dinner in it; Shizuo gave the infant the bag and poisoned him in a more comfortable spot in his arms. Shizuo looked down to see Psyche sucking his thumb and reaching up to tug on the ends of the blonde's bleach hair.
"Gasp look daddy!" Psyche cried pointing to a small pink bear in the window of one of the convenient stores.
"You want it?" Shizuo asked the hyper child; Psyche nodded and reached out for the stuffed animal. Three dollars for a toy wasn't such a big deal to Shizuo; he went into the store and bought one of the little bears.
"Thank you daddy, I love it." Psyche said hugging the pink bear to his little chest; Shizuo felt himself smile at the look in Psyche's eyes as he hugged and kissed his new toy.
(Shizuo's apartment)
"I really like your apartment daddy; mummy has a bigger one though."Psyche said as he was carried into the moderate sized apartment. Shizuo sat Psyche down at the kitchen table and took out their dinner.
"Mmm I love fatty tuna daddy." The infant said as he shoved another piece of the sushi in his mouth. Shizuo grinned at the child and ate another piece of his sushi. There was something very familiar looking about the child but the blonde just couldn't put his finger on it.
"Um daddy…where's the bathroom?" Psyche asked standing up and jumping up and down, looking like he really needed to "go".
"Down the hall to the left…you don't need my help or anything right?" Shizuo asked the child; Psyche smiled and shook his head.
"No I can do it all by myself." Psyche said proudly before running down the hall towards the bathroom. Shizuo smiled when the infant came running back only a few minutes later; after they finished eating Shizuo cleaned up everything and went into the living room to relax. That only lasted about three seconds because the blonde was suddenly attacked by an over hyper child.
"Play with me daddy!" Psyche said still clutching his pink bear and bouncing up and down on the bodyguards lap. Shizuo picked up the baby and started throwing him up and down in the air; Psyche started laughing hysterically as he was thrown up high in the air and then caught by his "daddy". After a few minutes of that Shizuo set the infant down in his lap and lay back against the couch.
"More daddy!" Psyche said excitedly, obviously not losing any of his energy.
"No let daddy rest for a little while." Shizuo said, he mentally cursed himself at actually calling himself the child's "daddy".
"But daddy I want to go up in the air again." Shizuo looked down to see Psyche staring at him with those pink eyes. How could he say no to a face like that? The blonde picked up the infant and continued to throw him up and down in the air.
"That was fun daddy!" Psyche said snuggling into the blonde's chest; Shizuo smiled and brushed his lips against the baby's forehead. The blonde laid down on the moderately comfortable couch with the little baby snuggled comfortably on top of him. Shizuo flipped through the TV channels until he found one that psyche really liked, which of course was cartoons. After about an hour of that Shizuo looked over at the clock to see it was already 9pm.
"Alright I'm sure it's way past your usual bedtime, time for bed psyche." He looked down to see the infant hugging his bear tightly to his chest, his eyes closed, and his thumb in his mouth. The blonde carried psyche to his bedroom and laid the infant carefully on his bed; Shizuo quickly went into the bathroom to change into his pajamas and came back a few minutes later to find Psyche in the same spot he left him. Shizuo pulled the blankets around himself and the smaller male and pulled Psyche into his arms.
"Goodnight daddy." Psyche said as he cuddled up against the bodyguard; Shizuo bent his head down and kidded psyche on the forehead.
"Goodnight Psyche."
Shizuo was jerked awake by a loud banging at his front door; he rolled over to look at his alarm clock that read 2:00am. He slowly moved out of his bed making sure not to wake up the tired out child; he pulled the blankets over the small body and kissed his head before going into the living room. Shizuo turned on the lights in the apartment and opened the front door, he was stunned to see who was standing there.
"Hello Shizu-chan!" Izaya said in a cheerful tone; Shizuo growled and ran his fingers threw his messed up hair.
"What the hell are you doing here flea? You haven't been in Ikebukuro as much as you used to." Shizuo growled angrily.
"Hahahahah sorry Shizu-chan did you miss me? For your information I was busy taking care of my son…but when I came home from one of my appointments with one of my clients he wasn't at home. I'm sure he wandered off somewhere, I've been looking everywhere and I just can't find him. I didn't think he would wander all the way into Ikebukuro but he's a hyper child and definitely has the energy to do so. I was wondering if you had seen him?" Shizuo leaned up against the door frame and starred at the brunet suspiciously.
"Since when do you have a son?" Shizuo asked suspiciously.
"Well I decided it was time for me to have a child, I got a donor to carry him until he was born so I could have a child of my own. Is that a crime Shizu-chan?"
"For you it is, I was praying you wouldn't reproduce."
"Hahahahahah Aww is Shizu-chan jealous? Don't worry I'm not with the girl who gave birth to my beautiful child. Thankfully he looks just like me, devilishly handsome and sexy." Izaya said proudly.
"Tch, whatever." Shizuo said plainly
"Back to the point, have you seen him at all? I'm getting really worried about him, it's the coldest it's ever been in Tokyo history and I'm afraid he might freeze to death if I don't find him soon. His name is Psyche he's four years old and is wearing a white jacket, white pants, pink shoes, pink headphones, and he has pink eyes and black hair." Shizuo's eyes widened at the description.
"…I might have seen him." Shizuo answered to the nervous brunet.
"Really? Where?" Izaya said grabbing Shizuo by the collar of his shirt and starring up at him. The blonde grabbed his wrists and pushed the informant back.
"How do I know the kid is really yours?" Shizuo asked crossing his arms across his chest and glaring at the smaller male.
"Are you fucking kidding me Shizu-chan? Where the hell is my son?" Izaya screamed at him; Shizuo starred at him shocked he had never seen Izaya so scared and angry before.
"DADDY!" Shziuo head shot back to see Psyche running towards him with tears running down his cheeks. The blonde quickly scooped up the infant in his arms and hugged him tightly to his chest.
"I got scared daddy, I didn't know where you were." Psyche said clutching onto the blonde tightly; Shizuo rubbed the baby's back, forgetting Izaya was there.
"Psyche!" Izaya said rushing into the apartment to his child; Shizuo backed away from the brunet and growled at him.
"Shizu-chan he really is my child, give him back to me." Izaya cried; Psyche's head shot up from the blonde chest to look at the information broker.
"Mummy!" Psyche squirmed in the blonde's arms and held his arms out towards his "mother". Shizuo finally let go of the infant and moved him into the smaller male's arms.
"I missed you so much mummy." Psyche said holding onto Izaya for dear life; Izaya smiled and kissed the child on the cheek. Shizuo felt a lump in the back of his throat as he watched Izaya hug his child tightly to his chest.
"I was so worried about you." Izaya said kissing his child again and again; Shizuo flinched when the brunet looked up at him.
"Thanks Shizu-chan." Izaya said smiling at the larger male; Shizuo just nodded and stared at the child longingly.
"Look what daddy bought me." Psyche said holding up his pink bear to show Izaya.
"Shizu-chan~ why'd you buy that for him?" Izaya whined as Psyche hugged his toy; Shizuo looked at him shocked.
"He wanted it, what's the big deal?" Shizuo asked a little angry.
"He has so many of these kinds of little pink stuffed animals in his room. The last thing he needs is another one." Izaya laughed; the brunet flinched when he felt Psyche start squirming in his arms. Shizuo quickly snatched the infant out of Izaya's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Hm looks like Psyche really likes you Shizu-chan, considering he thinks you're his father." Izaya said moving towards the two and running his fingers threw Psyche's midnight color hair.
"….I like him to." Shizuo mumbled as he watched the child snuggle up to him.
"Hahahahah strange, I've never seen this loving, fatherly side of you Shizu-chan. I never thought a monster like you was capable of that."
"I am capable of loving a child…even if he's your child." The two were quiet for a while, letting Psyche drift off to sleep in the blonde's arms.
"I guess I should take him home now, he's probably exhausted. And I'm going to have to give him a bath in the morning." Izaya said holding his arms out for his child; Shizuo hesitated for a moment before shifting the sleeping child into Izaya's arms.
"I gave him dinner before he went to bed, and I played with him so he's pretty tired out to." Shizuo said still keeping a hand on the baby's back.
"Ah how fatherly of you Shizu-chan…ugh it's going to be murder walking home." Izaya said looking out Shizuo's window to see the raging blizzard.
"….Well…you could spend the night I guess…my beds big enough for the three of us." Shizuo said turning his head away from the brunet's gaze.
"Really?" Izaya asked shocked
"Yes…but I'm only letting you stay for Psyche's sake, he'll be frozen by the time you get home." Izaya just laughed and followed the blonde into his room.
"I'm surprised how nice your apartment is considering how many jobs you went through." Izaya said as he kicked off his shoes and laid his child between him and Shizuo.
"Is that supposed to be a compliment flea?" Shizuo asked as he curled up next to the sleeping infant; Izaya just grinned and lay down on the other side of the bed. The two moved closely to the infant until Psyche was pressed against both their bodies.
"…You're a good daddy Shizu-chan." Shizuo's eyes shot open when he felt Izaya's hand move into his.
"Hm…you're a good mummy flea."
Author's Note: Wow! Probably the longest fic I've ever written! I made Psyche say "mummy" instead of "mommy"! Cute right? I worked on this for about three hours and would you believe it just came to me today! I was remembering my cute little baby cousin and then this idea just came to me! I used Psyche as the baby because….HE'S ADORABLE! Hahahahah anyway I don't know if I will make another chapter to this, I probably will after I finish my other fanfic "Remember?" which is actually one of the most popular fanfics I've ever written! Which I am very proud to say! Soooooooooooooo please review, favorite, and alert :)
