"Sick?" Shizuo exclaimed in surprised when he had heard the news from Kadota. The brunette nodded rubbing the back of his neck, and watched Shizuo's face turn from shocked to worry.

"Is he ok? What kind of sick is he?" Shizuo asked quickly.

"Throwing up apparently. He hasn't been able to keep anything down, and his back hurts as well." Kadota answered. "He's in the medical room if you wanted to-"

Shizuo ran off before Kadota could finish. He should have known. Izaya looked eerily queasy all morning and had been fatigued as well. He told him to rest but Izaya assured him he was fine. Mad at himself, Shizuo picked up the pace to the room and threw open the doors. He heard light sleeping noises in the otherwise empty room and followed the sound to Izaya's sleeping form.

Lightly damped in sweat, Izaya seemed to be having a bit of trouble having a peaceful sleep. He was curled up and shivered a little, though there was a blanket tossed over him. Shizuo gently touched his face, in which Izaya leaned into it gently. His breathing eased a little, when he opened hazy eyes and stared at Shizuo, a bit confused.

"Shizu...?"

"Hey Flea… Are you alright?" Shizuo asked though from the looks of it Izaya seemed to look very horrible. "You should sleep more."

Without a fight Izaya closed his eyes and nodded pulling Shizuo closer weakly. "Can you rub my back and hips please..? It hurts….so much." He moaned out weakly.

Shizuo nodded and made his way around behind Izaya to rub his hips. The smaller groaned gripping tight to the pillow at first, but then relaxed, as the pain around his lower regions began to subside. Shizuo, glad he could ease some pain, began moving up his back to loosen the knots there as well. Izaya moved his back a little so Shizuo would rub in the right spots as he rests more.

"Oh how cute." Izaya heard in his sleep which jolted him awake, he stared in the face of a nurse who looked highly amused for some reason. The room was bathing in an orange light; the school day was over and he had slept the whole way through. And he noticed two things; his back was no longer in pain and there was a hand wrapped protectively around him. Izaya tinted a little, knowing whose hand it was and it only amused the doctor more.

"I found you both like this earlier like this and decided to leave you, but it's time to close the school."

Izaya nodded. "Thank you." Turning over Izaya shook Shizuo gently. "Hey you big lug, wake up."

Shizuo groaned and opened his eyes a little, glad that Izaya looked a lot better than he did earlier. He sat up and stretched, popping any stiff bones in his body and looked at Izaya, who gave him an amused look. "What?"

"Nothing much, I'm just surprised you fell asleep, is all." Izaya cooed with a smile.

"Whatever. What time is it?"

"Time to go home," Izaya answered getting out of bed and walking to the door. Shizuo followed suit and looked at Izaya worried. "Are you alright?"

"I'm hungry, but otherwise fine. Can we stop by the Russian sushi before you go?"

"Sure."

Shizuo was pretty amazed Izaya was putting away a lot of food in one setting. But then again, he couldn't blame him since he had been sick and couldn't eat anything. The blonde had to stop him once he was thinking about ordering thirds, saying he could go right back to being sick if he ate too much. For once Shizuo was thinking logically, and Izaya had to laugh at that and settle with the unfinished rice he had left.

When Izaya had gotten home, and prepared to take a shower, he began regretting ordering seconds and threw up the moment his face went to the bowl. Thankfully the shower noises covered up his retching noises, as he did not want to alarm any of his family and stay home. Once he felt the world being realigned and his stomach settle once again he hopped in the shower to relieve his newly aching bones.

That night Izaya really wished Shizuo was there to sleep next to him. He had to wonder why his illness was so painful and he disliked it a lot. He hoped he got over it soon.

Over the next three weeks, Izaya continued the cycle. In the morning as he prepared to shower after a fitful sleep, he would throw up gastric acids and whatever he managed to swallow down, but he's had a loss of appetite lately so he ate less. He would go to school and sleep through whatever class he was disinterested in, and take naps with Shizuo during lunch. Then in the evening he would gorge on food until he threw up once again and lay down into another painful sleep.

"This is ridiculous." Izaya muttered, rather irritated from lack of nutrition and sleep. He was sitting in the library, looking up the symptoms for whatever bug he had. Most of his symptoms were related to having the flu, but once he read that it had been for more than a week, he looked quite baffled. Somehow, all his symptoms were all aligned with being pregnant.

But that's impossible. Males can't get pregnant. Or at least, that's how it was before. Izaya closed out the site and stormed to the Biology class, spotting Shinra hovering over the mouse cage. The teen turned to him and smiled, surprised to have him drop in.

"Shinra, I have a problem I think you might be able to solve." Izaya started, grabbing the others attention. "First, that pregnancy shot…what did the mix look like?"

Shinra blinked in confusion. "It was purple… Why?"

Izaya bit his lip. "And you still haven't been able to find it?"

"I found the syringe it was in, but someone must have received the shot. Anada-san mistook it for someone's medication." Shinra explained.

Izaya stood there for a moment holding his head. Anada was the trainee helping the nurse that gave Izaya the shot. And the mixture was purple. With a worried look, Izaya thanked Shinra and ran out to see if his conclusions were correct. Running to the nurse's office he looked around the empty office for a pregnancy test and found some in a small drawer. Running back out and to the Biology room, Izaya dragged Shinra out.

"I need you right now," was all he said before dragging him to the bathroom. Shinra waited outside the stalls while Izaya took a leak on the stick. He was confused as to Izaya's frantic actions, and began cleaning his glasses. Ten minutes passed by and Izaya stepped out the stalls. Shinra placed his glasses on and was handed a pink stick. Shinra's eyes went wide when he saw the two lines and looked at Izaya incuriously.

"Shinra, I believe the shot I received was your pregnancy fluid." Izaya said shakily.

"Well…Who did you-. " Shinra paused in his sentence. "Oh my… It's Shizuo-san's isn't it?"

Izaya nodded. "According to this, I'm one month pregnant with Shizuo's child."
