Hello!

Because of the limited tags I didn't get to tag in Anri's Character but she plays a semi-big part in the story.

Any reviews would be greatly appreciated!

-M-

Mikado woke up early the next morning, Izaya was still sleeping soundly beside the teen having stayed the night before, he'd stayed up later than Mikado on his phone. It was half an hour before Mikado's alarm for school went off and he was glad he wouldn't have to worry about Masaomi being there but he did have to worry about Anri which he wasn't looking forward too.

How was he meant to explain this to her? 'I don't know what Masaomi told you but this all happened because he kept showing up to my house to have sex whenever he was upset and totally ruined our friendship and Izaya-san helped me get back on my feet and now we're basically dating!' Mikado covered his face with his hands, there was no way in the world he could say that sort of thing aloud. He could tell her he'd been sleeping with Masaomi tell alone tell her he's sleeping with Izaya, Anri hated the informant, she'd never accept this.

Mikado regrettably slid out from Izaya's arms wishing he could stay in them just like yesterday. He stood up wincing at the aching pain in his lower back and the stinging pain of his behind. Maybe not exactly like yesterday. He thought making his way to the bathroom to shower before school.

When Mikado returned to the main room Izaya was wide awake and playing around on his phone,

"Good morning." Mikado said reaching into his wardrobe for his school uniform; Izaya looked up looking him over as he stood in his underwear,

"Good morning~" Izaya purred before standing up and stretching, Mikado put on his uniform and smiled at the informant who approached him, "You woke up early." The informant said leaning down to give Mikado a quick kiss and the teen smiled,

"Yeah well, we did sleep a fair bit yesterday." He commented heading towards his kitchenette on the far side of the room wanting to make some toast. Mikado heard Izaya chuckled from behind him as he pulled on his own clothes,

"We got a lot of exercise yesterday too." He said playfully and Mikado turned around with a equally playfully frown,

"Really?" he said as if the events of yesterday were completely forgettable but they both knew they most definitely were not. Izaya chuckled once again wrapping his arms around Mikado's waist from behind, Mikado smiled as he dropped his two slices of bread into his toaster, the turned around so he was facing Izaya.

"Did you want something to eat?" he asked and Izaya smirked, leaning forward to nibble on his ear making Mikado turn a shade of pink.

"Lots of things but I'll settle for some leftover sushi." He said with a sly smirk but nonetheless let go of Mikado and wandered over to the small fridge, Mikado shook his head with a faint smile,

"You've been a lot more open since yesterday." He commented as his toast popped out fully cooked, Izaya had been very open about his desire and obvious affection towards Mikado, saying flirty things that almost seemed out of character for the informant.

"Why not? I mean you're mine now so I have nothing to hide." Izaya had honestly pulling the sushi from the fridge, "Why don't you like it?" Izaya smirked locking eyes with Mikado who blushed and looked back to his toast,

"It's not that I don't like it." Mikado said spreading a thin layer of jam over his toast, "it's just I've never seen you like this before."

"Not many people have." Izaya said simply and Mikado looked at him before turning back to his breakfast with a small smile. Ah, he's too much. I feel like my heart is going to explode. He thought feeling Izaya's stare on his back.

"You might want to hurry, don't you have to leave soon?" Izaya commented looking at his phone, Mikado looked across the room to the clock; he had fifthteen minutes before he had to leave.

"I'll talk to you later." Mikado told Izaya as he pulled on his shoes, the older man was already standing by the door waiting for the teen.

"Sure, I'll have a fair bit of work to do so I might not reply right away." Izaya explained as Mikado stood up and grabbed his bag,

"That's alright." Mikado smiled and Izaya nodded, the teen was about to open the door when Izaya gently grabbed his wrist, "Huh?" Mikado looked at him but Izaya had already leaned down, Mikado's eyes closed automatocally as Izaya kissed him.

The kiss lasted close to a minute before Izaya pulled away with a smirk, "Have a good day." He murmured and Mikado nodded,

"Y-yeah, you too."

҉

The school day passed quite normally but just as Mikado had suspected Anri was acting a bit off, she'd be quieter than normal and not meeting his eyes, it became especially awkward when lunch came and they went up to the roof as usual.

They sat there silently and Mikado sighed looking out over the city from where he sat.

"Ryugamine-kun." Anri said quietly setting down her chopsticks. Mikado looked up from his food, anxiety rising in his chest when he saw her expression, she looked concerned but also hurt and angry it was so mixed, she didn't look up from her food in her lap as she spoke.

"Kida-kun came to my house last night and he told me something…but to be honest I not sure what to believe." She said and Mikado clenched his fists looking over the city look not looking at the girl in front of him.

"What did he say?" Mikado asked in a strained voice, he could feel Anri looking at him but he couldn't look at her,

"He told me Orihara Izaya-san is forcing you into a….um, a, um…" she seemed unable to get the rest out but she took a deep breath, "Masaomi-san said he's forcing you into sexual situations." Anri finished quietly.

Crack.

Snapped in half Mikado's chopsticks fell to the ground, he looked up with ice-like eyes. How dare he say such things, telling Sonohara-san such ridiculous lies.

"It's not true." He said honestly looking her before calmly reaching down to pick up the pieces of chopsticks at his feet. "Though, I will tell you." He said looking at her, "I am in a relationship with Izaya-san but it's completely consensual and he isn't forcing me into anything." He said watching as her face crumpled in an expression that looked alarmingly close to disgust.

"Why? Why with him? Izaya-san is…" she said becoming strangely worked up,

"I know but he's different with me." Mikado said looking down at the broken chopsticks in his hand, "He's really helped me out the last few months, I thought I was alone but he helped me stay on me feet."

"You were never alone Ryugamine-kun, you had me and Kida-kun." Anri said settling down slightly, Mikado gritted his teeth his fist clenching around his chopsticks once again.

"It wasn't something I could openly talk about." He said quietly he could feel his nose prickling thinking about how alone he felt before Izaya found him.

"What about Kida-kun?" Anri asked frowning noticing when Mikado noticeably flinched,

"H-he was the problem." Mikado whispered he felt tears form at the corners of his eyes so he kept his head down, Anri looked at him concerned her eyes softening as she noticed how upset her friend was.

"Ryugamine-kun…what happened between the two of you?" she asked softly and Mikado bit his lip. Should I tell her? It's so disgusting, maybe she'll hate me. No, Anri isn't like that. She deserves to know especially if Masaomi is feeding her lies.

"Y-you know what you said earlier?" Mikado practically whispered and Anri leaned in closer to hear him, "A-about being forced into sexual situations?"

"Yeah?" Anri asked confused, Mikado took a deep breath before meeting her eyes

"That's basically what Masaomi has been doing." He said, Anri's eyes widened completely horrified before she broke out into a nervous smile that reeked of disbelief.

"Y-you can't be serious…It's a joke right?" she said her voice shaky and Mikado shook his head,

"It's a bit more complicated than that but it's not really a conversation for when people are around…" Mikado said quietly putting the lid back on his store brought bento but had barely been touched. "We can…if you want to know…we can talk about it after school, meet me here." He said before the bell rang across the schoolyard signaling the start of the next class.

Mikado stood up, looking at the ground as he walked and left the roof top leaving a stunned and horrified Anri behind.

҉

"Are you sure about telling Anri-chan? This will most likely affect your friendship with her." Izaya's familiar voice asked through the phone, Mikado sighed rubbing his temples.

"I know but she's a good friend…I can't lose another friend." Mikado said leaning against the fence that surround the school rooftop. Mikado could hear Izaya give a small sigh,

"If you think it's for the best. I'm in Ikebukuro for work right now so if something happens call me." Izaya said, Mikado could hear the background noise of people suggesting the informant was in a crowded place.

"I will, I don't think Anri will do anything though. I can't see why she would."

"Maybe so but it's easier to be safe than sorry isn't it?" Izaya said the noise around him dying off, "I've just arrived so I have to go but I'll talk to you later."

"Alright then, Bye Izaya-san." Mikado said with a small smile,

"Bye Bye." the informant said before the line went dead. Mikado sighed looking at his phone which now displayed the wallpaper. Izaya-san's become even kinder since we started dating, he was always kind to me but now it really shows how much he cares about me. Mikado smiled feeling the warming feeling in his chest that thinking of Izaya always brought.

"Was that Orihara-san?" Anri's voice spoke up from behind him; Mikado jumped slightly turning around to see her standing a few meters away.

"Yeah it was, he was just checking up on me." Mikado said with an affectionate smile and Anri nodded having mixed feelings. Mikado's smile slipped off as he realized why exactly they were here. The sounds of those on the oval below them reached Mikado's ears and he turned to look down at them with dark eyes.

"Are you sure you want to hear about this?" he asked quietly, Anri moved closer so she could hear him better, out of the corner of his eyes Mikado could see Anri give a quick nod. Mikado clenched his fist, the last person he told was Izaya and that was only because he had a mental break down.

"Maybe we should sit down?" Anri suggested quietly and Mikado nodded making their way back to the benches. The roof top was completely empty of any other people but themselves, giving them the privacy Mikado wanted.

They sat in silence for a while Anri patiently waiting for Mikado to summon the courage needed to speak up, eventually he found it.

"It started ages ago, almost an entire year ago…" he said thinking back, "Masaomi randomly showed up in the middle of the night really upset. He wouldn't tell me what was bothering him but nonetheless he kissed me and we…we slept with each other." Mikado said not able to look at Anri, "I was fine with it at first, I had actually had feelings for Masaomi since we were young. I thought it was mutual so I happily continued the relationship." Mikado cleared his throat

"Things went south quickly and I kept making excuses why Masaomi was acting like he was; at first he acted like nothing happened and I thought maybe he didn't want people to know and I was okay with that." Mikado covered his face; he could feel himself getting upset as he spoke,

"But then-" his voice broke as tears gathered in the corner of his eyes "-He told me not to speak or make any noise or touch him when we were doing it, Masaomi started closing his eyes and not touching me anymore than necessary but it really hit me when I realised he had been calling Mikajima-san's name the entire time under his breath." Tears fell from Mikado's eyes falling on the concrete at his feet leaving small wet drops.

Mikado's voice was thick with tears as he continued, "Masaomi had been coming to be whenever he was upset mainly when he and Mikajima-san fought. He was using me as an outlet, when I realised this I tried to tell him to stop but whenever I managed to start to tell him he'd cut me off and push me down without a word and I became kind of scared of him. I openly cried and didn't enjoy sleeping with Masaomi but either he didn't notice or maybe he just didn't care." Mikado said wiping away a few tears, "I felt so degraded, so dirty, it was like my body had turned to ice every time touched me." He admitted, "This went on for ages, he wasn't treating me like a friend let alone like a human, more like some sort of cheap toy. It got so bad I actually…I actually started thinking about suicide, I skipped school I sat in an alleyway the entire day crying and thinking about killing myself until Izaya-san found me."

"Suicide…" Anri murmured clenching her fists, Mikado nodded and continued,

"Izaya-san took me to his house and I had a break down and told him everything. Even he was shocked saying that Masaomi had no right to treat me like that and I needed to end it with Masaomi, he got quite angry actually." Mikado gave a small smile at the memory looking up and wiping away his tears, "He spent hours comforting me and that's how my relationship with Izaya-san begun, he kept my head up and made sure I didn't lose hope, he'd comfort me every time Masaomi left." Mikado said warmly, completely leaving out the part of how he had been actively sleeping with Izaya.

"And in the end he gave me the strength needed to strongly tell Masaomi to stop, that was yesterday morning. But he came over all angry last night and Izaya-san got really mad and threatened him so he went away, I don't really want anything to do with him anymore, he's hurt me too much and I just can't trust him." He finished looking at his feet, a moment of silence passed between them and Mikado peeked at Anri out of the corner of his eye, she looked very upset.

"That means…. That Kida-kun not only lied to me but...he's been causing you so much pain." She murmured, Mikado turned, fully looking at her. "I-I don't know what to, do your both my friends…I had no idea…you were suffering so much…" she whispered looking at her hands with wide eyes.

"Calm down." He said gently, "You had no way of knowing, it's not something one would suspect." He said trying to reassure her, he watched as Anri slowly stood up.

"I think I need some time to think about this." She said before grabbing her bag, she walked towards the door before stopping. "Ryugamine-kun…" she said stopping halfway between the door and where Mikado sat,

"Yes?" he asked anxiously staring at her back,

"Does Orihara-san make you happy?" she asked her voice clear and Mikado smiled,

"Yes, he does." He replied with completely honesty and Anri turned around with a small smile,

"Then I'm happy for you. I'll talk to you later." And with that she disappeared into the school, minutes later Mikado could see her walking out of the school gates. He stood up with a lengthy sigh, walking over the fence and looking down at the ground below, the sports field was now empty, void of any other students.

"What a mess…" he murmured right before a chime rang throughout the school,

"Will all remaining students please leave school grounds; I repeat will all students please leave the school grounds as the gates will be closing in ten minutes. I repeat the gate will be closing in ten minutes." An automated woman's voice informed everyone and Mikado sighed running his fingers through his short hair before turning around and also leaving.
