"Happy day~ Happy day~ Ohh it's a wonderful, happy day~"

Izaya was skipping his way to school, humming his happy song he'd made up. He was in such a good mood that it was kinda scary. All day yesterday, he was helping his sisters make their cookies as presents for their classmates. He even asked what they wanted for Christmas so he could get them a present. It was all the blonde's doing. Just one small event and the brunet had changed completely. Approaching the front gates of the private school, Izaya rushed into the warm building and up to his classroom. But was pulled by the scarf he was wearing and pushed into the wall. Eyes closed from the sudden pain, his lips were covered by another's as he opened his eyes to see who it was.

"Shizu-"

Unable to finish his sentence, Izaya let the blonde do whatever he pleased with him. A warm tongue slivered its way passed the brunet's slightly parted lips and was granted entrance as the smaller male opened his mouth wider. An immense make out session occurred right there in the empty halls as Shizuo pulled Izaya closer to his body and moved deeper inside his mouth. The brunet felt as if his stomach was being tied into a million knots as the monster continued to play with his mouth. Tongues, saliva, and lips were exchanged multiple times as Izaya felt his body heat up with excitement. He needed to stop this now, before they went too far. Trying to gently push the blonde away, the brunet could sense that Shizuo was on the brink of getting turned on. And so was he. Doing them both a favor, Izaya pushed away the larger male away from him and tried to calm himself down.

"We…should stop…"

"Yeah…sorry…"

Students suddenly appeared out of nowhere as the two males looked away from each other, hoping to not draw any attention to themselves. Gathering their things, they headed to their class and took their seats.

The bell rang and class had started. Being bored by the same lecture they receive, Izaya doodled in his notebook. It was a picture of him and the blonde ice skating and it looked very realistic. Smiling at his picture, his thought process was interrupted when the lunch bell rang. With a whole hour to do nothing, Shizuo walked up to Izaya's desk and sat near him.

"Shizu-chan! What are you doing? You can't sit by me! You'll draw attention to the both of us!"

The brunet was hushing these words to the blonde who was eating his lunch like he didn't even care. Actually, he really didn't care what anyone thought of him, cause he knew they would never say anything bad about him unless they had a death wish. He smiled at the frantic brunet and offered him a bite of his sandwich.

"Aren't you gonna eat?"

"No! I… I don't like eating in front of other people…"

"Why?"

"Because they judge you by how you eat and what you eat and I don't like that… so I never eat at school…"

"Come on, you're going to starve yourself if you don't eat anything."

"I'll eat when I get home. I'm not hungry anyway."

"*sigh* Izaya… if you don't eat, I'll kiss you right in front of all these people."

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Try me."

Shizuo had a mischievous smirk on his face that was impossible to read. Afraid that what he said was true, Izaya took the sandwich out of the blonde's hand and began eating it.

"Meanie…"

"Hahaha! Well I had to do something to get you to eat. I was kinda hoping I could get another kiss from you though, but I guess I can wait."

"Shh! Do you want the whole school to know that we're… wait, are we going out?"

"I don't know, are we?"

"Well, I figure that since we kissed…then yeah…"

"So we're going out then."

Izaya smiled when he heard Shizuo say that. He felt warm inside now that he had someone there with him, to love him for who he is. And for it to be a secret between the two of them, it made it even more exciting.

"Ok, but don't tell anyone. I don't want people going around spreading rumors, since we're both guys and all…"

"Does it bother you that I'm a guy?"

"No… But I don't want people saying things ya know."

"I get it. My lips are sealed. That is, until I get to kiss you again."

"Stop it! You're making me blush!"

"Like I'd said before, you look cute when you blush."

A couple of girls from the other side of the classroom surveyed the two males as they ate their lunch. These group of girls love to spread rumors and gossip behind everyone's backs.

Gossip Girl 1 - "Hey! Look over there!"

Gossip Girl 2 - "It's Shizuo and Izaya!"

Gossip Girl 3 - "Why are they sitting near each other? I thought they hated one another."

Gossip Girl 4 - "Me too! Maybe they had some sort of agreement to not fight anymore."

Gossip Girl 2 - "No, it doesn't look like it."

Gossip Girl 1 - "Ohh my god! What if they're gay?"

Gossip Girl 4 – "Like boy on boy, hardcore yaoi? Ohh my god! I would pay to see those two in action!"

Gossip Girl 3 - "Shut up! That's totally gross!"

Gossip Girl 1 - "But you gotta admit; it's also totally hot."

Gossip Girl 4 - "Yeah! I mean, the two hottest guys together in bed! AHHH! I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it!"

As the inner yaoiness of the girls started to exploded, a mass text spread throughout the school, informing everyone about the guy couple. And by the end of the day, everyone knew there was something going on between the two most dangerous males in school. Some people expected this; others were heartbroken that they'd lost the chance to be with one of the two males. And the ones that were heartbroken were determined to get revenge.

"See ya Izaya!"

"Later Shinra!"

Snow slowly drifted its way down to earth as school was let out that afternoon. Unaware that the entire student body knew about him and the blonde, Izaya happily walked home by himself. Shizuo had to stay after to wait for his younger brother to finish with his drama club meeting before going home, so he was alone today. Making footprints in the snow, the brunet walked home the usual route when he was surrounded by a group of girls. And by the looks of it, they were extremely pissed.

Jealous Girl 1- "HEY! You're the one that's going out with Shizuo aren't you?"

"How- how'd you find out?"

Jealous Girl 2- "Idiot, the whole school knows."

Jealous Girl 3- "It's kinda obvious, just look at the way you cling on to him and how you guys sat together at lunch today."

Jealous Girl 2- "I bet you think you're so special, going out with him."

Jealous Girl 1- "What does he even see in you anyways? You're not even a girl! Sure you may look like one, maybe that's the reason he's going out with you!"

"No! That's not true!"

Jealous Girl 3- "Sure it isn't."

"Shut up! You don't know a damn thing that's going on between me and him!"

Jealous Girl 1- "We don't need to know. All we know is that you don't deserve him. You're nothing but a toy to him."

Jealous Girl 2- "I bet he'll drop you in a few days once he finds out how miserable you're making his life with all these rumors flying around."

Jealous Girl 3- "Yeah, and once he does, he'll realize that he wants a real girl, not some pretend bitch like you!"

Jealous Girl 2- "Why don't you do the world a favor and die already?"

Jealous Girl 1- "No one wants you around! SO JUST DISAPPEAR!"

The ruthless group of girls left the broken prideful male on the snowy floor as they laughed at him. Izaya just took the insults, the harmful words that wounded his heart, the abusive sentences that killed him from the inside out. And he began to doubt himself. He began to doubt the relationship he was in. (Is what they said true? Is Shizu-chan really just going out with me because he's confused? I do look similar to a girl, maybe that's why he likes me! He thinks I'm a girl! That's the only explanation that makes sense! Am I only a toy to him?) Doubt after painful doubt clouded his mind as Izaya tried to stand up.

Stumbling home, he went straight into his room to cry his heart out. (How could I be so naïve? Why would anyone love me? I'm a horrible person. No one would ever love someone like me. Not even a monster… They're right. He is too good for me. I don't deserve him at all. I don't deserve anyone…) His sisters knocked quietly on his door and entered the dark, gloomy room. They had caught a glimpse of the upset older brother's face as he came into the house before and were worried about him.

"Iza-nii…are you ok?"

"What happened…?"

"Go away… I don't want to talk to anyone…"

"Was it Shizuo? Did Shizu-chan do something?"

"Nii-san is sad because of Shizuo…"

"Who care? He doesn't love me! No one does! I'm going to grow old and die alone!"

"That's not true. Shizuo love Nii-san doesn't he?"

"SHUT UP MAIRU! He doesn't love me ok?"

"But why…."

"You don't understand Kururi… You both wouldn't understand…"

The younger of the twins, Kururi, looked at her sister as if she was sending a telepathic message. Mauri nodded as if she knew what her sister was thinking and they both quietly left their brother crying into his pillow.

"Let's go find that idiot and teach him a lesson he won't ever forget! He'll be sorry he'd ever messed with the Orihara family!"

Kururi just smiled at her hyped up sister and they left the house on the hunt for their target.
