Walking quickly to the apartment of a certain raven-haired flea, Shizuo Heiwajima is talking aloud to himself. "That flea is planning something; he's just got to be. Four years and all of a sudden he comes back?!" He gets to the outside of Izaya's apartment fairly soon. Once standing outside the fleas' apartment he raises a hand to knock only to halt his movement half-way. "…Screw that, why would I knock?" He lets his hand fall back down to his side before raising a foot and kicking the door down with very little effort. The resulting noise causes Izaya to jump in his seat. He had been working on his computer before his door was kicked down. Izaya reaches for a nearby switchblade but stops when he realises it is only Shizuo. "Shizu-chan, you could have scared me to death! ~" Shizuo simply shrugs his shoulders before narrowing his eyes at Izaya and speaking. "What are you planning flea?! You disappear out of the city for four years and now you come back?!"
After hearing the reason as to why an angry looking Shizuo kicked his door down, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly." Why Shizu-chan, I'm not planning anything. I may have been gone for four years but I have no secret plan." Shizuo responds with a look, a look that says he doesn't believe him in the slightest. Izaya sighs and stands up out of his seat and walks to the front of his desk. He begins to ask if he would ever lie to him, but Shizuo cuts him off. "Of course you would lie, it's the kind of guy you are!" He chuckles in response and a small smirk adorns his pale face. "You got me there Shizu-chan, I guess I would lie. Though admittedly, this time I'm being truthful. I really don't have a plan."
"They why were you away for four years? Usually you are only gone for a few days at most before you come back!" Izaya thinks for a moment, trying to find an excuse he would buy. "Something came up and I didn't want to be in an area where I was well-known". This makes Shizuo eye Izaya suspiciously and ask what kind of thing he means. Shizuo crosses his arms and taps his foot while waiting for izaya to respond. Izaya tries to think of an excuse but can't, and comes to the conclusion he should just come out with it since he doesn't think Shizuo will believe him anyway. "Ok, long story short… I have a son". Cue slight laugh from Shizuo. "Don't make me laugh, that goes against all your bullshit about loving humans equally". That makes Izaya sigh slightly and shift a little uncomfortably. "I do love all my humans equally. Alas, it turns out some will gladly take advantage of you when drunk". At any other time, Izaya would no doubt make note of the extremely surprised and slightly confused expression adorning Shizuo Heiwajima's face. "Your facial expression suggests you are confused, I will make it really simple for you Shizu-chan, roughly four years or so ago I attended a meeting with Shiki and we ended up celebrating something or other. I'm a lightweight when it comes to alcohol so I got drunk fairly quickly. One of the women who attended decided she wanted to sleep with me and had no qualms over doing it while I was drunk and had no idea what was going on. If I had been sober I would have most certainly refused. Anyway, about eight or nine months later she appears on my doorstep and hands me a baby, says its mine and I should look after him. So for the last four years I have been out of the city doing just that". Shizuo gave a look of disbelief, prompting Izaya to prove it. With a sigh he walked to a nearby door, seemingly leading to a bedroom. He opened the door and spoke to someone inside. "Psyche, could you step out here for a moment please? ~". As soon as he finished speaking, a little boy seemed to run out of the room. He looked just like a mini Izaya, save for pink eyes and a white coat with pink trim, in the style of Izaya's jacket. 'Psyche' as he was called looked at Shizuo curiously, while Shizuo just blinked out of surprise. Seems the flea wasn't lying after all. Before Shizuo can say anything, Psyche ran over and asked the blond what his name is. "Umm, it's Shizuo". What Psyche said next had Izaya burst out laughing, and led Shizuo to cast away any lingering doubt that this kid was in fact Izaya's. "Hmm, I'll call you Shi-chan!" Psyche happily exclaimed. Shizuo glared slightly at the laughing brunet. "Shut it before I throw you outta the window". Izaya merely chuckled and proceeded to pick up his son. "Shi-chan's being mean~" taunted Izaya. He was holding Psyche, so Shizuo wouldn't even try and throw him anywhere since he didn't want to hurt the kid. Yet oddly enough, he didn't even feel the need to hurt Izaya. It must have been the fact he hasn't seen him in four years.
Izaya had now set Psyche back on the floor, who decides to go back and continue whatever he was doing in his room. Once the door clicked shut, Izaya spoke up. "I'm still not used to being a father, even after four years. Like everybody else, I never pictured myself having a kid". Shizuo mumbled something about the she must have been a conniving woman, Izaya simply dismissed the mumbling. Shizuo seemed to be thinking, if the look of pure concentration was anything to go by. "My, Shizu-chan seems deep in thought. I wasn't sure he even could think~". The comment results in a glare from the monster of Ikebukuro. "…and I was gonna offer to help with the kid too". Now this truly surprised Izaya. The monster was offering to help him of all people? What the hell happened while he was gone? "Really, why would you want to help me?" Simply opting for a shrug of his shoulders rather than a wordy explanation; "felt like it". This caused the Information Broker to chuckle a little, knowing his monster had not changed much in his way of thinking. "Well I must say, I missed a couple of things these four years I have been away. One was definitely your unpredictability~". Shizuo had missed the flea too, well to some degree anyway." Same as I've sort of missed your taunts". Izaya felt a little flattered that someone actually missed him at all. He doubted his sisters had missed him at all, Celty knew where he was and she had seen him every so often. Shinra didn't even know he was back yet. Though to hide his flattery he turned his reply into a taunting remark." I never would have thought the monster would ever miss me~". Even if he hid his flattery, he couldn't disguise the slight smile that showed. Shizuo spotted this and blushed faintly knowing he caused Izaya to give a genuine smile, even if only a small one. He turned away mumbling shut up to hide the blush.
"You know, this is actually the first time we have been near each other without fighting". Shizuo realised this was true, he didn't know how he felt about it. He wasn't sure why they weren't fighting, but managed to come up with a decent reason to give. "I don't want to beat up someone who has a kid to take care of". Izaya seemed to consider this a short while. "Would you chase me if you saw me in Ikebukuro?" Another thing Izaya had missed these last four years was the chases between Shizuo and himself. He missed the adrenaline rush he would feel when his monster roared out his name. "No" Izaya was half-expecting this, but he still didn't like the answer. Unconsciously pouting he makes his displeasure known "Aww, too bad". Shizuo couldn't help but think the pout was kinda cute, but he pushed that thought to the back of his mind as soon as he thought it.
"Shizu-chan, you are more than welcome to come and see Psyche. After all he seems to have taken a shine to you and I'm not mean enough to tell my son he can't see 'Shi-chan'~" Shizuo just blinks at him before turning round and walking out." Heh, bye Shi-chan! ~" The resulting sound of a wall being punched amused Izaya more than it should have.
