"Higher Shi-chan, Higher!" demanded a very happy Psyche. Shizuo complied and pushed the boy higher on the swing. They were currently at a local park in Shinju-ku. Izaya had suggested that Shizuo take Psyche as he rarely gets a chance and it would be nice. Here, Shizuo didn't need to worry about people provoking him as he wasn't really well known, if they were in Ikebukuro then that would be a different matter entirely. He was actually glad that he could have a little peace and quiet here. Psyche was definitely having fun here with him. Shizuo had always thought about wanting kids of his own, but he wouldn't mind not having them if he still could spend time with Psyche. It was a good thing that he and Izaya didn't fight anymore, they still called each other names and use insults but they didn't attack one another.
The majority of Ikebukuro did not know Izaya was back, seeing as he hadn't visited in the time he has been back. It was now Shizuo going to Izaya in Shinju-ku. No one here knew of their past rivalry and so they were safe from questions and rumours regarding the reasons behind them getting along and being seen with a kid. Shizuo was grateful for this, he hated rumours. He wondered what Psyche knew about their past, he knew that the used to fight but did he know the extent of the fights? He wasn't worried seeing as Psyche got along with him quite well. He didn't think Izaya would ever tell his son that 'Shi-chan' used to try and kill him every day. Though the boy seemed happy enough, and that's all Shizuo cared about.
After pushing Psyche on the swing for roughly half an hour longer, they mutually decided to go and have something to eat before returning home. "What would you like to have to eat, Psyche?" The young boy seemed to be deep in thought for a short moment before his face lit up. "Hmmm, Ice cream! ~" Shizuo chuckled, seemed the boy had a sweet tooth just like him. He simply nodded before taking Psyche's hand and walking to an Ice cream shop. Shizuo had a strawberry cone, Psyche a chocolate one. It was quite an amusing sight to see, Psyche eating his ice cream. A young boy who looks just like Izaya except for eye colour, making such a big mess by just eating an ice cream cone. Shizuo couldn't help but find it rather cute. Once they had finished their ice cream, and once Shizuo had cleaned Psyche's face they were off back to Izaya's.
Psyche enjoyed his day out with 'Shi-chan' and was glad that it had been such a good day. No sooner had they walked through the door of Izaya's apartment, had Psyche run up to Izaya's desk excitedly telling him about his day out. Izaya picked up Psyche and sat him on his lap and listening to his little boy. Shizuo smiled at the two and sat down on the couch. He no longer thought it strange that he had fun with Izaya and Psyche.
