I Do Not Own Durarara! If I did I would be the happiest person in the world. Yumiko is my character!

Today was just like any other day me working in the bakery as my regular customers came and picked up their orders, the usual gang members walking by and whistling. I just ignored the gang and continued working when I saw Izaya Orihara run into the shop.

"Hey, Yumi-Chan how are you doing today?" Izaya said walking up to me.

"I'm great and yourself?" I said giving him a couple tarts. I usually make a couple extras just for him when in case he stops by. Why? I haven't the slightest clue but I just do it.

"I'm alright just trying to get away from Shizu-chan." I watched him eat a piece of the tart and smile widely

. "Well, I never will understand why he hates you so much you a really cool guy." I said kissing his cheek.

"Well I gotta get going don't want Shizu-Chan to destroy your shop. Later." Izaya said running out of the shop.

I saw Shizuo throw a lamppost at Izaya and then throwing a road sign. I sighed and went back to help the rest of my customers before closing up for the day. After I packed everything up me started on my way over to Shinra's place since I promised him that I would bring him a couple cakes. I wonder if he was having a party of something but then again he's a little strange so maybe not. When I got there I saw Celty in the hallway with Shinra. "YUMIKO!" Shinra said running over to me and giving me a big hug. "Hey Shinra I brought you cakes. Hello Celty how are you doing?" I said smiling and hugging her. We walked inside and I saw Shizuo sitting on the couch covered in blood. "What did you do this time sweetie?" I asked looking down at him.

"That little flea set me up. I hate that freakin leach." He yelled. I smiled and started to tend to his wounds and clean him up a bit. "Why do you let him get to you? I mean you say you want to be strong enough to control your anger but attacking him when you see him isn't making it any better." I explained smiling up at him. I saw his cheeks turn a light pink which made me smile even wider. After I finished patching him up the two of us decided to leave so he walked me home like a gentleman. "So how's everything at the bakery going?"

"It's going great I'm going to be expanding soon so I'll be closed for a while but I can always make yours."

"Thanks I don't know what I would do without you."

"You know it's kind of late if you want to you can stay at my place you know I have room." I blushed and looked down.

"Sure it's gonna take awhile to get home anyways might as well stay here." I nodded and unlocked my door the two of us walked in. "You know where everything is; do what you have to do." I said putting my things down in the kitchen. He nodded and disappeared down the hallway. I Shizuo Heiwajima he's a seriously misunderstood man. He has crazy strength that a lot of people are afraid of but I just think that it makes him an even better person. I have loved Shizuo for as long as I can remember back when we met in grade school.

"Ok class we have a new student that will be joining us today. Her name is Yumiko Fukui I hope you all welcome her into the class like the good little students I know you to be." Ms. Asawigawa said. She walked me to my seat and I got stares from everyone except a dark haired boy that was standing in a corner. I looked away and put my attention on the teacher as we learned out times tables. When it was time for lunch I walked outside to see the same dark haired boy with another boy with glasses on. I walked up to then and the boy with glasses looked up and smiled at me while the other just took a bit out of his sandwich. "Hello my name is Yumiko what's yours?" I asked the boy with glasses.

"My name is Shinra Kishitani it's nice to meet you." "What's your name?" I sat down next to the boy that was in timeout. "Why do you care?" He said frowning at me.

"Is it Shizuo Heiwajima?" "Yes what's it to ya?" "Can we be friends? I've never had a friend before?" He looked up at me and blushed then turned away. I laughed and from that day on we have always been friends.

I put away everything that I had brought home from the bakery and walked to my room to get ready for bed. I turned on the lights and started to undress not really noticing my surroundings; I walked into the bathroom and pulled on my night gown. When I got back I saw Shizuo lying on my bed watching me ever so carefully. "What are you doing?" I said covering up my chest.

"I was going to ask you something but you were in the bathroom so I decided to wait until you got out but I forgot. I walked around to the other side of my bed and sat down and picked up my book off the night stand.

I felt Shizuo's eyes on me so I decided to play around for away. I sighed and lay down on my stomach with my head at the end of the bed. I felt my night gown fall to mid-thigh which was perfect. I smirked and looked over my shoulder to see Shizuo blushing and looking down. "What's wrong Shizuo-kun you look a little flushed are you not feeling well?"

I said getting up and putting my hand on his forehead. I saw his cheeks burn a fiery red color and I couldn't hold it in any longer I just started to laugh. "I'm going to bed." He said getting up and walking out of the room fuming. I said good night to him and turned out the lights thinking about my real parents and where they could be. I fell asleep dreaming about them but I just couldn't put a face on their heads because I don't remember nor didn't I want to remember the people who left me to die in an ally way.

I woke up to my alarm clock going off, but sadly I didn't have the bakery to go to because they were working on it for the rest of the week. I got up anyway and decided to make breakfast since Shizuo was still here.

A light knock on the door scared me while I was making breakfast which surprised me because no one really comes to my place in the morning. I opened the door to see Izaya giving me that devious look on his face. "Hey Yumi-chan how are ya?" He said walking in the house before I could let him in. "I'm great but can you come back later because Shizuo is here and I want my apartment to be livable?" I said looking down the hall. "I just came here to ask you if I could borrow your car for the next two days if that's alright with you?" He said lounging on the couch. "Sure." I said walking in the kitchen to get the car keys. I tossed them to him and he ran out of the house.

I just ignored it and continued on cooking until I was finished. When I did finish I walked in the spare bedroom and saw Shizuo snoring half way off the bed. I smiled and shook him until he finally got up. "I made breakfast hurry up before I eat it all." I walked back into the dining room and take out some food for Shizuo setting it aside. I looked up and saw him standing over the table and watching me carefully once again. "Why do you always look at me like that?" I asked giving him his plate of food.

"You would make a good wife." He said sitting down on across from me. I stopped eating and watched him from awhile. He thinks I would make a good wife I can't believe he just said that to me. I mentally screamed and smiled widely and blushed.

"What makes you say that?" "Well look at this, it's crazy and your always trying to seduce me with the little night gown of yours then you great with kids. Those are good wife qualities, or at least I think so."

I couldn't believe one word that came out of his mouth; I was so shocked that he would think that about me. "Well when I get a boyfriend I'll make sure you meet him so you can tell him that." I said blushing a dark red.

"I thought you were with one of your regular customers the one with the curly brown hair." "No he just acts like he is because I baked a cake for his wedding last summer. It was really cool I wish you were there as well." I said smiling up at him. He blushed and looked away. "So I have to get going because I told Simon I was going to help him with the restaurant since I have nothing else to do." I said getting up and going into my bedroom.

I took a shower and got dressed into a navy blue and white dress that went down to my knees. I put my hair in a high ponytail and walked back out in the dining room to see Shizuo was still eating. "Well I'm leaving so can you lock up you know where I keep my spare key. Later." I said walking out the door. I saw him give me a little smile as I walked out the door and I returned it happily. I walked down the street and decided to take a shortcut to get to the sushi bar.

As I was walking I saw Celty ride by on her motorcycle and a gang beating up a high school boy who was trying to get to school. Of course I and my big mouth had to say something because that's just me. "Excuse me but bulling someone that is far younger than you is a bit idiotic." I said walking up to them.

"Aren't you a beauty? Boys I wanna take this one back headquarters the boss is gonna have fun with her." One of them said walking up to me.

I smiled and walked over to the high schooler and helped him up. "You go ahead to school I'll be fine they don't know who they are messing with." I said pushing him out of the ally way.

He looked back at me apologetically and ran off. I turned around and saw that they had closed me up. "I don't like to hurt people." I said quietly. "Woah men hurting a beautiful young woman that is not cool, I know you don't want to be next sushi dish." I turned around and saw Simon walking up to the group and I smiled. The guys backed away from him and I ran behind him so I wouldn't get in the way, but the guys just took off running.

"So let's get started today." Simon said walking me over to the Sushi shop.

Shizuo POV

I didn't know what it was about Yumiko but I had always liked her. I didn't understand why she was never afraid of me, I used to terrorize her back in grade school and the next day she would just smile and act like nothing happened.

She's the only one who I noticed could calm me down when I'm having one of my fits not to mention turn me on. I never really thought of telling her how I felt because I'm sure she likes someone other than me. I got up from around the table and cleaned up the kitchen.

I got ready for work and walked to my apartment. Before I could get there I saw Yumiko passing out flyers for the sushi shop. I couldn't help but smile because of the way she was acting. Her determined look and then way she was kind of forcing people to go into the shop made it funny. I walked up pass waving to her and Simon then continued on my way to the apartments.

When I got there Tom was waiting outside for me. I had forgotten that he was coming over early. "I was wondering if some assassinated you because you weren't answering" Tom said walking up to me.

"I stayed at a friend's house last night; sorry I forgot that you were coming early." I said as we walked down the stairs.

"Who is she?" I always knew Tom could read me like a book but I didn't know I was that easy. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I said looking straight forward.

"I know you didn't do anything I just want to know the lucky woman that you're in love with Shizuo. Could it be the girl I always saw you and Shinra with in class passing notes." Tom said glancing over at me with a slight smirk on his face.

"I never did understand how you were able to do that with your back turned, and possibly." I said following him to another apartment complex.

"She's a very nice girl and she can cook I just love that bakery. You should grab her while you can, you've always loved her so why wait until someone else takes her to tell her how you feel?"

I usually didn't listen to what he said but this caught me way off guard. "So what are you waiting for go tell her how you feel?" Tom said watching me carefully.

I smiled at him and ran back to the sushi bar to see Yumiko still passing out the flyers; she still had the determined look on her face. "Shizuo eat here now so everyone else can see where you get your strength from." Yumiko yelled running up to me. I looked down into her green eyes and before I knew it I felt a soft pair of lips on mine.

Yumiko POV

I couldn't believe what was going on Shizuo Heiwajima was kissing me in public. I felt his arm wrap around my waist lifting my off of my feet so he wouldn't have to lean down so far. I was so upset when I we had broken apart to take a breath not to mention so flushed. I looked up at him and looked down at me blushing as red as a tomato

"So? Does this mean we're dating?"
