"Izaya…?" The room was silent. Shizuo whispered slightly louder "Izaya-kun…?" Still no reply, so Shizuo raised his voice once more "Izay-"
"What do you want?" Izaya mumbled sleepily, clearly annoyed that the brute had woken him up.
"I can't sleep" Shizuo replied, sheepishly.
"Awww, Shizu-chan~ Do you want me to come over there and snuggle?"
"Cut the crap flea" Shizuo said, rolling his eyes. He thought about what Izaya had said earlier, about the two theories he had proposed. He'd been thinking about them all night and couldn't sleep.
"Do you really think it's possible?" He asked
"I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific than that, Shizu dear"
"I mean… that we could be characters… or something. Gah, what am I even talking about…"
"I don't know, but when I searched our names the only results were character profiles and whatnot."
"You searched us?" Shizuo asked, curiously. "What did it say?"
"Oh, you know, just that I'm really handsome and talented, that sort of thing." Izaya replied with no modesty, emphasis on handsome and talented.
"Pfff, I don't care what it said about you! What did it say about me?"
Izaya yawned. "Oh… just that… you're.. a brute… with no friends.. a monster.. or something" he said, falling asleep.
"You're lying" Shizuo said, defensively. "Izaya?" But Izaya had fallen asleep. Damn that flea. If we didn't have a truce I'd have smashed his face in by now. I bet he was lying… Although, I am a little curious.
Shizuo got up out of bed and went over to the minibar and snack shelf, heating up the water in the electric kettle and preparing himself a cup of tea. When the tea was made, he took the cup over with him to the desk and turned on the computer. He wasn't extremely good with computers, but he managed to open an internet browser and get to the search bar. He began typing his name, the suggested results appearing below as he typed. When he pressed space after he had finished typing his first name, a particular suggestion appeared - Shizuo x Izaya. Now, being Shizuo, the first thing he thought when he saw this result was x… x is for verses. I bet this will be awesome footage of our fights, with me winning of course! And with that, he innocently clicked on the suggestion. He then clicked on the first link, opening a fan fiction site. Of course, Shizuo didn't know what fan fiction was, so he proceeded to open one of the stories at random. He began to read, as the story began with a fight scene between him and Izaya, and it was written well.
[Shizuo had Izaya pinned to the wall of the alley, and Izaya had no way out, no way to defend himself. This fight was Shizuo's to lose.] Shizuo grinned triumphantly as he read the line. Enthralled by the author's decision to give him a clear cut win, he kept on reading. [Izaya's face looked… scared? Shizuo hadn't seen him make such a pathetic face before, but something about it was saddening. It almost made Izaya look... human.] I guess I can relate to that, Shizuo thought, taking another sip of his tea before continuing to read, out loud now, whispering so as not to wake Izaya.
"Shizuo lowered his fist and stared at Izaya's pale face. His body began moving on its own, and before he even knew himself, he had pressed his lips against- PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" Shizuo spat out his tea, his face turning the colour of a tomato. Oddly though, he couldn't bring himself to stop reading. Of course, Shizuo had chosen the story completely at random. He hadn't read the description, and he certainly hadn't noticed the authors warning of 'lemon' (not that he would've known what that was anyway). He continued to read.
[As the kiss deepened, Izaya reached down and touched MY WHAT … he began to- and then he bent down and- OH HELL NO. "I'm sorry, I can't hold back any longer" Shizuo said, panting, before grabbing Izaya by the waist, turning him around and-]
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Shizuo shouted, obnoxiously loudly . He was completely and utterly embarrassed, blushing all the way to his ears. Shit, he quickly turned around to look at Izaya, oh good, I didn't wake him. He sighed with relief OK, I think that's enough of that for tonight, he thought before closing the browser and turning off the monitor. He unconsciously looked over at Izaya again, finding himself staring at his sleeping face.
He looks so innocent like that, peaceful too. Ha, he almost looks kinda cute…. WOAH WOAH WOAH Heiwajima, pull yourself together! Cute?! How laughable! Me, thinking that flea is cute?! Impossible! My mind must be corrupt from that stupid story or something…
Even so, he found himself walking over to Izaya's bedside. He stood close enough to feel Izaya's cold breath on his arm. The raven's hair had fallen over his face, which looked as smooth as porcelain. Shizuo found himself reaching out a hand and brushing the hair of Izaya's face. His skin was so soft, Shizuo couldn't help running the back of his hand down Izaya's cheek. Shizuo paused when his hand was cupped around his chin before quickly, and awkwardly, running his thumb along Izaya's plump bottom lip. Shizuo was blushing brighter than Rudolph's nose. He felt embarrassed, but he was also, kind of, enjoying himself. Suddenly, as if snapping back to reality, Shizuo quickly removed his hand from Izaya's face and returned it to his side.
What the hell am I doing?!
Those lips, though. He had wanted to kiss them. Shizuo mentally kicked himself for thinking that, running his thumb and middle finger along his eyebrows. Something must be seriously wrong with me. It must be because I'm tired. Yeah, that's it. I better try and get some sleep.
Unbeknownst to Shizuo, his shout earlier had startled Izaya awake, but he was only able to observe Shizuo standing at the computer desk - with his hands slammed down onto the table - before he drifted back to sleep. At some point in his slumber, he remembered feeling a large, warm hand affectionately caressing his face. He wasn't sure whether he had dreamt it or not, but he doubted that such a gentle action could have been performed by his monstrous room mate. All he knew was, he didn't want it to stop.
Finally, some Shizaya!
It might be a while before I write the next chapter (school work... D: ). I'm not entirely sure where to take it from here (well I have multiple ideas, but I don't know which one to go with), so if you want to make suggestions that'd be helpful!
