"This place is seriously fucked up. No wonder you chose it."
Izaya laughed.
"I actually didn't choose it but that's beside the point since either way we're here. Now, I suggest a trade. The win-win kind of thing."
Shizuo knew that he was stringing him along but if he backed out now, Izaya would forever make fun of him for being a coward.
"What are you babbling about?"
"Tsk, Shizu-chan. Who would have guessed you were this innocent. Guess I must enlighten you, then. Those balls go up your ass. One, by one, by, one."
Izaya closed the gap between them.
"Uh…figures, I should've guessed."
"Indeed! But now that you are wiser thanks to me, hear me out on this. If you use that kinky find of yours…on yourself, that is, I'll let you use this pretty whip on me."
Despite himself Shizuo started.
"You're bloody crazy."
"So what else is new. Do we have a deal or not? And keep in mind that these walls are sound proof."
"What's keeping me from just beating you up where you stand?"
Izaya could see that hesitation was creeping into Shizuo's attitude. Were it otherwise he would already be a bloody mess by now.
"You can do that at any time. When do you think you'll have another chance of whipping my naked body in a place where no one can hear me?"
Shizuo saw the point all too well.
"No way I'm sticking anything there. Not gonna happen."
"Oh, I see. You're scared."
Izaya fully expected it but he still grinned as Shizuo gritted his teeth.
"What did you just say?"
"You're scared. That's okay, really. Didn't think a bit of pain would scare you this much but I guess that's just the way it goes-"
"Shut the hell up right now."
Before Izaya had time to abide by this he was being knocked down and landing on bed, Shizuo climbing on top of him.
"Why, Shizu-chan-"
"I'm not afraid of any plastic thingies. You're on, Izaya-kun. And don't forget the deal because even if you do I'm still going to flog you. Bloody masochist."
"Good thing you're a bloody sadist, then."
Whenever Shizuo used honorifics it meant that Izaya was in for one of those beatings that left him more dead than alive. Shizuo rolled over and handed him the beads. He was not exactly sure how to carry one despite his bravado and asking Izaya for instructions was completely out of the question. Izaya was not at all bothered and poured a generous amount of pink lube over the spheres, his smile never wavering.
"Shizu-chan, you're supposed to undress. Could I have a striptease session?"
"Don't push your luck."
Shizuo pulled down his pants and underwear. By far this was the weirdest day ever. Izaya added more gooey thick liquid to the beads. As far as he knew doing it without any of these niceties was so much hotter but he knew that the scented lube was made to act as an aphrodisiac once applied.
"How should we do this? I'd be more than glad to do it myself-"
"Figures. Bet you use this kind of things all the time."
Izaya wondered if Shizuo wanted to hear about his sexual exploits. It was too kinky an idea not to follow up but it was best to be vague about it.
"I've been around the block a few times, yeah. On both ends in case you're wondering."
Shizuo did not want to think about it and he shook his head forcibly as if to clear his mind of thoughts of Izaya doing borderline illegal things.
"Slut. Just give me that, let's just get this over with."
Izaya pouted and faked disappointment as Shizuo retrieved the beads.
"Fine by me. But I know how to make them feel good…"
Shizuo snorted.
"Don't lump me with the likes of you, you freak."
Izaya shrugged.
"Alright. I'd go easy if I were you since you're a virgin down there."
The patronizing tone was aggravating and Shizuo replied to it by shoving the first three beads into and past his anus, holding his breath as he did so. A decidedly weird day was getting weirder by the second.
"Bloody cold."
Shizuo squirmed slightly. It felt very strange, not particularly pleasant but not disagreeable either.
"Give it some time. It'll become warm soon enough. And there's still plenty of them to go."
