Chapter 1 – Izaya

Izaya smirked, hiding his inner surprise, meanwhile Shizuo was shouting.

"Why am I roomed with you? Why with the fucking flea?" The blonde monster screamed, most likely scaring the people in the dorms around them.

"Maybe it's fate?" Chuckled the raven, laying back into the bed he was sitting on; arms resting behind his head.

That remark just about sent steam out Shizuo's ears. Blonde eyebrows twitched furiously as a snarl appeared on Shizuo's face. "Does fate tell you when my fist is going to connect with your annoying face?"

"Fate tells me that you'll break my bed if you do, and I'm not paying for a replacement," Izaya smirked and stood up, leaning into the blonde's personal space, "unless you want to share your bed with me?"

Rage was evident on his entire body as he swung a punch at Izaya, who fluidly dodged the attack, dancing away and ending up behind the larger man.

"Don't be mean to your new roommate, Shizu-chan!"

Shizuo turned around, ending up almost face to face with the slightly shorter man. He seemed frozen for a moment, his golden-brown eyes staring down into Izaya's reddish-brown ones. The smirk fell off Izaya's face as he noticed just how close he was to Shizuo. Close enough for the taller male's warm breath to fan his face, causing another warm sensation in his cheeks: blushing. It didn't help that Shizuo was good looking, and up close he was even better.

Shit, I don't need to be noticing how handsome the monster is, Izaya mentally cursed himself. His blush got darker, so he quickly snapped his head away.

"Anyway, you have to move your stuff into here and unpack," muttered Izaya, "I've already put all my things where I want them."

"Fine," snapped Shizuo, glaring at the flea suddenly.

He pushed past, brushing against the raven haired 'flea'. Out the door he went, leaving Izaya to wonder why Shizuo was reacting in such a strange way to Izaya. Sighing, he decided to not worry about it, and instead turn on his laptop. He sat down at his desk and flipped the screen up, then turned it on and waited for it to boot. By the time he'd logged on and checked his emails, Shizuo came back carrying a massive box with seemingly no effort.

The box barely fit through the door, and when it did, Shizuo set it down gently at the end of his bed. It didn't take long before the contents were spread all over the floor as the blonde attempted to efficiently organise the mess. Izaya spun around in his spinning chair, laughing in amusement at the brute's frustration.

Said monster sent a deadly glare towards the other, but it did little to curb the laughter. Eventually however, the mess cleared itself out into Shizuo's space. There were mostly clothes and school books, with a few knick knacks finding themselves on Shizuo's desk.

"You all done, Shizu-chan?"

"Don't call me that flea," growled an angry Shizu-chan.

Izaya laughed, "But Shizu-chan, it suits you!"

"Whatever, I'm going for a shower," he grumbled, grabbing the required items, while Izaya sat in slight shock at how calm the usually violent monster was being. He shook off the thought and continued working on his laptop. The slamming door alerted Izaya that the bathroom had been occupied, a distant interruption to Izaya's focus. It wasn't long before his little world was interrupted by the blonde haired male announcing that the bathroom was his if he wanted it.

Smirking, he swung around in his chair, planning to make a witty remark. That hope was ruined when Izaya's eyes happened to fall upon the still dripping and completely uncovered torso. A firm chest topped the chiselled abs that lowered into a V shape, which formed into something else that was hidden behind the dangerously low white towel. Izaya gulped, his face burning a bright red at the view.

Wet blonde locks stuck to the sides of Shizuo's face, which held a look of confusion, "Oi flea, you look a bit stupid right now."

"Shut up monster, I was just surprised that you had a human body," Izaya swung back around to face his laptop screen. His heart beat was pounding too fast, and his whole body had started to heat up. Curse the beast for having a good body.

"You sure seemed to enjoy looking at it," retorted Shizuo. Izaya's heart skipped a beat.

"I did not, you blind protozoan," frowned Izaya, trying to calm himself.

"Don't stare so long next time, and I'll believe you," laughed the monster.

Staying silent for once, he soothed his breathing and let his heart beat slow down. When he finally felt like normal, he spun around and stood up, ignoring the grinning and stupid blonde by the bathroom door. He found his sleeveless shirt, boxers and towel and walked past the still stupid monster, managing to catch a glance at the body before he shut the door behind him.

Still, why was Shizuo acting so calm before? The question dangled around, useless and unanswerable.

The memory of Shizuo's long and fit body burned itself into Izaya's brain. Once again, his own body started to heat up. He cursed himself for his reaction and also cursed Shizuo for being so attractive and stirring up desires he didn't know he had and definitely shouldn't have.

Not desires, I don't desire that retarded idiot. His body is pretty…hot…but I sure as hell don't want it!

Blushing, he undressed and moved into the shower, turning the water on and adjusting it to his liking. Izaya let the warm water rush over him and calm his nerves. Shizuo's body still remained a vivid image in his head, no matter how much water poured over Izaya.

Fuck. Stupid Shizu-chan with his stupidly hot body that shouldn't be affecting me like this!

He slid down the shower wall and sat on the floor, and let his head fall into his hands.

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Warm water continued raining down on him, soaking his hair and skin. He just sat there for a while, letting himself calm down again, before he stood back up and cleaned himself.

I'll just have to ignore this. I can't lose my mental abilities because of the damn monster's physique. This kind of thing isn't going to do me any good, anyway.
