For the third time today a client was out to piss him off. Damn he hated them, just little things they would say to try and weasel out of it would send him raging. He raised his fist to the shaking middle aged man and was about to send him flying when his phone rang. Tom and Sakura looked at him strangely, that was odd. Unable to ignore the annoying noise, Shizuo retracted his fist to grab his phone from his pocket as Tom and Sakura kept a close eye on the guy. Annoyed to see the caller ID as none other then Izaya he sighed frustratingly. Staring at the screen as it continued to flash up ❤secret lover❤ when he realised that the informant was insistent he answered it, slamming down his foot near the guy to let him know not to try and sneak away. The guy gulped, staying put "What is it!?" Shizuo asked almost angrily.

"Shizu-chaaaan!" Izaya purred down the phone smirking as he did so.

"What?"

"Whatcha doin?" Izaya asked with a kiddish tone. Was he serious? Did he really call him just for-

"I'm working-something you should be doing" Shizuo replied through clenched teeth.

He kept his eyes on the client while trying to have a somewhat discussion with his 'in progress' partner. "Ah! The joys of self employment Shizu-chan!" Izaya chirped, he knew full well Shizuo would be at work, he'd just finished handing over some info to a regular client and now he was bored again.

"Can't you bother someone else for now? I'm busy- Y-yes...I guess I miss you too" Tom and Sakura exchanged shocked glances as Shizuo blushed ever so slightly.

"You're welcome over tonight, I'm sure you'd much rather be kissing me then being stuck alone in your small apartment ne?" Izaya said, picturing the look on his face, he was so doing it on purpose. knowing that he would be with Tom and it would keep that girl at a distance. Fine, so he was jealous, but Shizuo was his now right? Isn't that what they agreed?

"I'll see you tonight, around seven" Shizuo whispered. He hung up, turned around but was met with a metal pole to his face. "Shizuo!" Sakura cried in worry. Tom stared a little in concern, but he'd known the blonde long enough to know he would be ok though. Shizuo growled when the pole bent in half at contact, the guy whimpered and dropped it.

"I-I'll pay you! I promise! I'm sorry!" The man tried to reason, blood seemed to seep through a cut on his left eyebrow. Shizuo's eyes widen in rage, he grabbed the man by the shirt with both hands and swung him around and then let him fly into the nearby vending machine.

"Too late!" He shouted. Sakura ran to him, pulling a piece of cloth from her bag to dab over his eye. He moved away from her with a smile "It'll be fine, my body has a high tolerance" Shizuo told her, she withdrew her hand with a nod. "Nothing personal" he tried to reassure her. Tom grinned a little, he turned to Sakura and gave her a couple of bills.

"Why don't you go get us some drinks?" He asked her, she smiled and then quickly ran to a drinks machine. Tom nudged his friend with his elbow. "Sooo, that phone call sounded quite promising, care to share?" Tom asked smugly.

"It's nothing really, just an old friend" Shizuo tried to say

"You met someone! When? How long-?" Tom asked almost excitedly, Shizuo chuckled, he sounded like a teenage girl.

"Two weeks tomorrow" was it lame that he'd counted? It had been almost two weeks now since the once two enemies made their game into an official trial relationship.

"Why didn't you tell me? I'm happy for you! What's his name? Do I know him?" He knew Tom would start asking a million questions, he supposed it was kind of a big deal.

"No name, and-I don't think you know him" he couldn't very well tell Tom that the person who he was finally in a relationship with was the infamous Izaya Orihara, Tom would probably have a heart attack. Sakura came back with the drinks, handing Shizuo a milkshake and Tom an espresso shot can.

"They don't have milk in the vending machines, is that ok?" She asked nervously

"It's fine, thanks"

"Sakura! Shizuo has a boyfriend!" Tom blurted

"I knew once you found out you'd be on the case about it for hours" Shizuo complained, luckily Tom was a very close friend, other wise he'd be in the hospital.

"It's a big deal, you followed my advice!" "

"Well I'm happy for you too Shizuo, what's he like?" Sakura asked with a smile. Finishing his milkshake, he threw it into the trash can

"Annoying" he responded with one word.

"They all are at first, now let's go back to my place, it's pay day and I'm sure you want your pay check" Tom said as the three of them began to move.

"So we're done for the day?" Sakura asked

"Why not, I'm sure Shizuo is eager to get to his lover" Tom laughed.

Shizuo blushed a little "Shut up"

They got to the building and began to make their way to the second floor, tom unlocked the door and motioned for them to come in. It was slightly bigger then Shizuo's, nice blue carpet, neat living room with a two seater couch. Thirty two inch television on a beige wooden stand, at the side he had a long tower of DVDs. The kitchen was linked to the living room, containing a fridge/freezer, four cupboards and draws, a small stove and a microwave. It was bad, but all Shizuo kept thinking about was Izaya's apartment, it just felt so comfortable. He shook the thoughts out of his head, he probably was just getting used to being there, around him. Tom sat on the couch and grabbed his cheque book and a pen, he tore out two sheets and started to write them out to both Shizuo and Sakura "Make yourselves at home" he told them as he wrote. Sakura smiled, taking off her shoes and sat on the floor, Shizuo stretched and took off his shoes, placing his keys, phone and cigarettes on the table.

"Mind if I use the bathroom?" Shizuo asked casually.

"Sure, you know where it is" tom waved his hand.

Once Shizuo was out of the room, tom glanced at his phone he'd placed on the table. His hand edged closer to it, hesitating, thinking whether it was right or not. Screw it, he had to know who it was Shizuo was dating, he was his friend and he was excited for him. Tom grabbed his phone and checked the latest phone call, smiling as he saw it under ❤secret lover❤.

"What are you doing?" Sakura asked nervously.

"This wont take a sec, keep an eye out for Shizuo" tom told her. He grabbed his own home phone and typed in the number that was on Shizuo's cell phone.

"I don't think you should be doing that-" Sakura tried to tell him

"It'll be fine!"

"But-"

"Shhh, it's ringing" tom hushed her. After a few rings, someone picked up, someone that he knew too well

"Tom-san! Well this is a surprise! What exactly can I do for you hm? One of your clients skip town?" piped the informant, he had no idea how Izaya had his home number but that wasn't the point.

"Damn, sorry Izaya, think I dialled the wrong number or something" tom said

"Fair enough, and no hard feelings about those debt comments hn? Tell the brute to take a chill pill or something ha ha ha" Izaya laughed.

"S-sure; he's gonna kill you one day if you don't quit it" tom stated

"I've yet to see the day, when it comes I'll be sure to watch my back ha ha" Izaya said and then hung up.

"So do you know him?" Sakura asked

"I was sure I dialled right..." tom checked the number he dialled to the number on the cell phone one number at a time. It was defiantly right, tom suddenly paled...his friend and- and that cocky, arrogant info broker, together? How the hell did that happen?

"He's coming" Sakura whispered. Tom quickly pushed exit on the cell phone back to the phone screen and put it back where it was. Shizuo walked into silence, he could sense a little unsteadiness but didn't think much of it.

"Yo tom, you all right? Look like you seen a ghost or something" Shizuo stated.

Tom smiled and laughed "Just thinking is all, am I pale? Didn't notice, did you Sakura?"

Sakura gave him a fake smile why get me involved "Not really"

"Here's ya pay cheque" tom said as he handed over the paper, Shizuo folded it and placed it in his pocket. Tom then handed Sakura hers and she bowed her head politely.

"Thank you Mr Tanaka"

"Well, see ya tomorrow, I'm off" Shizuo said as he gave a small wave

"Yeh sure, but-ya know, you're due a day off so you can take that tomorrow if you want?" tom suggested.

"You sure?"

"Go for it! Its all good, in fact, may as well take the whole weekend off, there's barely any clients at the weekend, you'll only end up going home early anyway" tom said, Shizuo raised an eyebrow, his boss was being weird but heck, he wasn't going to complain about having two days off. Normally he would have complained about being bored when he had a day off, but he found it not so bad now he had things he could do with his time.

"All right, thanks, so I'll see ya Monday then" Shizuo said, putting all his belongings back in his pocket.

"Bye, see you Monday Shizuo, have a good weekend!" Sakura said with a smile, Shizuo grinned a little

"Yeh, you too" he said and then put his shoes on and walked out of the door.

"I can't believe it!" tom shouted suddenly, making Sakura jump.

"W-what? Who was it on the phone? Do you know who Shizuo is dating?" she asked

"At first I thought I'd dialled the wrong number, but when I got an answer- the person on the other end was Izaya " tom told her.

Sakura's eyes went wide "What!?"

Shizuo quickly sent a text to Izaya :I'm at home, finished early, how about I come over now?:

Izaya was quick to respond, he must really be bored. :Don't keep me waiting too long ;):

Shizuo rolled his eyes, Izaya was such a flirt when he wanted to be. Placing a light grey short sleeved shirt on, he retrieved his keys and wallet from the side, grabbed his cell phone and a pack of cigarettes- he never went anywhere without those- and locked the door behind him. :On my way you impatient flea x: By the time he noticed the x he'd already pressed send. "Damn, cancel cancel, shit, well, can't do much about it now" he said to himself. He placed the phone in his pocket as he continued to walk.

He was about five minutes away from Izaya's building, his phone bleeped,, he was afraid to see the the response. He was pleasantly surprised by what he did get, breathing out a small sigh of relief. :Ooo progression! Didn't think that was going to come from you Shizu-chan, better give you one back ne? X x x Huh, well there's three ha ha:

"Tst, cocky bastard; I swear he just never over thinks anything" he said under his breath as he reached the building and entered, he began up the stairs heading all the way to the top. He knocked on the door

"Open!" Shizuo walked in, taking his shoes off at the door, he walked into the large living room and gasped. "What's wrong Shizu-chan?" He was wearing a light brown jumper, that was too big for him and some comfortable black combats, his clothes were much baggier then what he usually wore.

"Y-you look different...you look-"

"Sexy? Hot?" Izaya stepped closer to the blonde, he stopped inches from him.

"Kind of..cute" Shizuo said more quietly with a slight blush.

"Ha ha ha, well, I've never been called that before" Izaya laughed.

"Heh, who knew I'd be the first to say it" Shizuo replied.

"First time for everything Shizu-chan, now are you going to stand there or are you going to put those lips to better use" Izaya said with a smirk, in an instant Shizuo grabbed his jumper and kissed him.

The two tumbled from the force, Izaya turned them so that he landed on top of the couch. "Hey Shizu-chan" Izaya purred.

"Hey..." Shizuo leaned forward and kissed him again, making it last longer. He was granted immediate access as his tongue dived into Izaya's mouth, both muscles danced around each other. They pulled away from one another to catch their breath, Izaya ran his thumb over the fading cut on Shizuo's eye. "Some guy took a cheap shot earlier" Shizuo informed him. Izaya smirked

"That poor human ha ha ha, didn't he know he'd end up worse?" Izaya asked playfully.

Shizuo chuckled "Obviously not" the two kissed again, Izaya left his lips and nipped down Shizuo's jaw and then back up again. Shizuo glided his fingers through the informants hair gently, leaning into the kiss. They pulled away again "I wanna get to know you Izaya" Shizuo told him, still playing with his hair.

"Well that's a bit late ha ha ha"

"No, I want to get to know you, I don't really know anything about you, other then you're annoying and that twisted job of yours" Shizuo said. "you probably know whatever there is to know about me,being an informant" he added.

Izaya sat up from Shizuo, the blonde followed suit as he sat on the right side. "Not really, I know your business, family, things like that. I don't know anything personal, I hated you, why would I care about that?" Izaya confessed.

"Oh...right, think we should start?" Shizuo asked, Izaya thought about it for a minute, he didn't want to talk about anything really personal, despite being the info broker he was, his life was private to him.

"Lets just be here, ok" Izaya told him, Shizuo seemed a little shocked when Izaya laid down on his back, using his legs as a pillow and resting his own legs on the opposite arm of the couch.

"O-ok" the blonde tried to relax, this wasn't easy for him, he wasn't used to being with someone like this. His hands by his sides, Izaya curled his hand around the nearest one, making Shizuo tense a little.

Izaya chuckled lightly "Relax Shizu-chan, I won't bite".

Izaya surprised himself by his actions, he'd been with many in their beds, he hadn't really held a relationship. He never felt the need, nor did he want to, somehow Shizuo made him feel different. The blonde made him feel comfortable, relaxed and- and safe; Shizuo was so strong and he couldn't help but feel that sense of security he didn't know he could have or even needed. He wasn't sure he wanted this feeling, but it was both of them that suggested this in the end, should he see it through? This wasn't just some random guy he ended up with, this was Shizuo, his once sworn enemy and rival-now lover/ possible boyfriend. Each of their flaws were already passed, they already knew them, could this work? What was the difference between loving his humans, to finding this other love that Shizuo wanted? He wouldn't know that answer until he tried.

"Izaya ?"

"Hmm...?" Shizuo looked down at the informant, amazed at how content he seemed to be. He looked like he was going to fall asleep, Shizuo smiled mentally, Izaya reminded him of a cat, ironic that he nicknamed him flea.

"I got the whole weekend free" Shizuo told him, trying to start a conversation while watching Izaya play with his fingers.

"Tom-san phoned me today actually, said he had the wrong number, but I think he knows" Izaya said, locking their hands.

"How? I didn't tell him" Shizuo said, a little surprised.

"He doesn't have the cell phone number I use for you, Namie, Shinra and Celty, I have his home number on each of my phones. But he only has one of my numbers and that one isn't it"

"So how'd it get it then?" Shizuo asked again.

"From yours obviously, hearing that conversation of ours must have definitely peaked his curiosity, he wanted to know who your" Izaya sat up and grabbed Shizuo's cell phone pulling up his contact name as he said "-Secret lover is"

Shizuo blushed "I couldn't think of anything else, but how did he-" Shizuo stopped in mid sentence, thinking back "Damn, I left my stuff on the table when I went to the bathroom, sorry" Shizuo growled to himself.

"Well it's not like you blurted it out, the question is do you trust him? Because I don't"

"You don't trust anyone" Shizuo said back. "Yes, he's one of the few I do trust, along with my brother and Celty" he added.

"Do you trust me?" Izaya asked slyly, leaning in to kiss him, Shizuo gave him a small one

"It's in progress" he said and kissed him again.

"Ok, lets do questions, I get to ask you a question and you have to answer it, then you can ask me one. Nothing too deep, I'm not going to go and spill secrets to you off on a silver platter or anything" Izaya laughed, but Shizuo could tell he was serious "Deal?" Izaya laid back down with his head on his lap.

"All right, why not, can I go first?" Shizuo replied, watching as the informant began to play with his hand again, entangling their fingers.

"If you want too"

"What's your favourite colour?"

Izaya laughed "I know I said nothing deep, but give me something"

"Just answer it, I couldn't think of anything off hand" Shizuo said with a little blush.

"Black and red"

"Oh, right, I suppose that makes sense" Shizuo smiled embarrassingly.

"My turn, what's your hobby?" Izaya asked, his eyes looking up at him.

"Hobby?"

"You know mine, so it's only fair that I know yours"

"Well...I don't really have one, I can't do anything without getting angry so easily, but I suppose just sitting quietly like this, peaceful is kind of nice" Shizuo confessed.

"Heh, what a softy you are" Izaya chuckled teasingly.

"Shut up, question number two, Erm...do you get along with your sisters?" Shizuo shifted uncomfortably, unsure if that was too deep

"Sometimes, on rare occasions, it's probably my fault they act the way they do, my bad influences on them" Izaya stated as he lightly kissed his finger tips.

"What makes you say that?" Shizuo asked without realising he was running his fingers through the informants hair.

"When we were young, I was left with them almost constantly while my parents worked abroad, it started around the time I was eleven"

"They left you by yourself!? To look after them alone?" Izaya smiled, he could feel Shizuo tense with anger.

"Yeh...I took care of them, when they fell, when they were sick, I guess my twisted ways and logic rubbed off on them.." Izaya told him.

"Do you regret that?" Shizuo asked slowly, Izaya turned his head to the side.

"Sometimes..." Izaya then smiled "My turn now, we got off track didn't we, question two, what's your favourite pudding?" Back to basics, Izaya obviously didn't want to talk about his parents, who could blame him?

"I suppose, I really like to eat chocolate sponge with whipped cream, or those little chocolate pudding cups"

"Ha ha, you have a sweet tooth" Izaya laughed.

"Yeh I guess so, question three, how come you eat so healthily? You're not exactly on the chubby side, in fact I'd say you were a little under weight" Shizuo told him, trying to hide his concern. He didn't want to rush into to this so soon, but he couldn't help himself, he truly wanted this to work out, it was making him feel happy just by Izaya telling him these little things.

"Concerned Shizu-chan? Ha ha, actually my weight is perfectly right for my height, hundred and twenty seven pounds, that's around nine stone" Izaya claimed happily

"Huh, I thought it was less, you look skinny" Shizuo told him.

"Meh, we can't all be muscle bound ne?" Izaya teased

"Funny one"

The two sat in silence for a bit, just enjoying the peacefulness between each other, something that would have never crossed their minds before. "Question three..." Izaya piped up again although quieter.

"Hmm..?"

"Why did you hate me, back when we met?" Shizuo was taken aback by the question.

"You put me through a lot of shit, you framed me, constantly finding ways to piss me off-" Shizuo was cut off before he could get angry.

"That was after, I'm talking about the first day we met, the day Shinra introduced us" Izaya corrected him.

"I just did..I could sense-"

"You didn't give me much of a chance, you just looked at me and claimed you hated me when I hadn't even done anything yet" Izaya said calmly, Shizuo hadn't thought of it like that before, maybe all of this could have been avoided if-

"I know, I tend to judge people at first sight, thinking like its a sixth sense..." Shizuo confessed.

"Oh don't get me wrong, you're assumption was probably spot on ha ha ha, I was just curious" Izaya joked

"Well, I'm sorry, I could've at least given you a small chance" the blonde sighed uncomfortably

"You did..." Izaya said quietly, Shizuo looked down at him, the informant smiled a little. "Back in high school, you helped me, remember? It was my first grasp at passing off some information, they weren't very happy about it" Izaya relayed what he remembered. Shizuo stared at him, a little shocked

"But, I didn't think you- you said you didn't remember" Shizuo said a little startled

"I lied..."

Eight years ago

The school bell rang, signalling the end of the day, students rushed out of their class rooms. A young Izaya, aged sixteen walked out with his hands in his pockets. Grinning as he glanced at all the people running about, anxious to get home obviously. Once the halls were cleared of most students, all was beginning to go quiet. "Oi, Orihara! Wait up" an unknown voice shouted after him, he swirled around glancing over at the one that called him.

"Can I help you?" Izaya questioned

"Yeh, heard a rumour going around you were the best person to go to, you know, for the best source of information" the boy said, he was a year above Izaya and slightly bulkier, short brown hair and lazily dressed. Izaya knew this guy was suppose to be somewhat of a menace in the school, he had some pretty interesting stuff on him too

"Are you the type to listen to rumours?"

"Are they true? Heard you get paid for it, must be good hn?" the guy asked again.

"So what makes you think I'll get the info you need? I just tend to pick up on things along the way" Izaya claimed as a matter of fact.

"I know you can get what I need, I have money, I can pay you if that's what you want"

"What exactly do you want to know Haru?" Izaya asked again, he was getting bored.

"Test answers, damn fucking test answers, for our science test in two days, I'm not the brainiest guy in the box. I have to have those results or else- just get it"

"Is that it? How lame, I was hoping for something a little more dramatic" Izaya chuckled.

Haru grabbed Izaya by his top, lifting him slightly in the air. "You will get it for me! Dammit I need them! now tell me the cost!"

"Ooo, so scary and threatening ha ha ha, since you're so sadly desperate, six thousand yen" Izaya told him, Haru released him and handed him the money. "You'll have it by tomorrow" Izaya stated, smirking as he walked away from him.

"Thanks!" Haru shouted after him.

The cocky teen was waiting around for Shinra to finish his extra science after school class so he had time to kill anyway. He made his way down to the IT room on the opposite side of the building, no one was in there, sitting down at one of the computers he booted it up. Being a close friend to the class president had it's perks, he used Shinra's password to look into the answers and results of the science test they had yet to take, which others had already taken. Pulling up the answer page he clicked print and folded the paper into his pocket. Smirking, he then logged out and logged into the schools newspaper site. Every student had their own user-name and password for this, giving them a chance to use their insight on things that happened or they'd seen during the day. Such as the lunch menu, updates on tests, events to take place. Izaya had a better motive for using the newspaper site. He sent a text to Shinra and began his work, he laughed sinisterly. :I'm in the IT lab room AB, come find me when you're done:

Shinra pushed up his glasses tiredly, that was a long class, who knew he could do so many dissections in one sitting. Turning a corner he made it to the IT room AB, he walked in as Izaya was signing off. "What were you working on?" Shinra asked, being his nosy self. Getting off the chair and turning off the computer, he placed a hand on Shinra's shoulder with a grin.

"You'll find out tomorrow!" Izaya exclaimed happily. Shinra gave him a suspicious look

"What did you do?" he asked.

"Nothing, you'll see" Izaya said as he skipped out of the room with Shinra following closely behind.

"I wanted you to stay out of trouble Izaya" Shinra whined

The next day, Haru walked through the school gates with three of his friends following him. As soon as they did everyone hushed on the school grounds. Everything went eerily silent, they looked around, eyes staring at them accusingly. "That was odd, everyone is acting like someone died or something" one mate claimed.

"Who knows, maybe someone did" Haru replied. "There's Orihara, let's ask him, he probably knows" the others agree and the four of them make their way toward him. He smirked at them as he leant against the wall near the bleachers. He handed Haru a folded piece of paper when the guy stopped in front of him. Haru opened it up, smiling with satisfaction "Yeh, you did get it" Haru said happily.

"Yes I did, it wasn't all that hard really" Izaya bragged, still with an ever present grin, if possible it had grown darker.

"What's going on around here? Everyone is acting weird, did someone die or something?" One of them asked casually.

"Not a clue" was all Izaya said as he walked away into the building. Shinra looked around at everyone and then followed his friend into the building.

"What did you do?" Shinra asked, the same question he had yesterday hoping he'd get an answer.

"Not read the school newspaper this morning?" Izaya asked whilst chucking one at him from a nearby stand. Shinra caught it and scanned over the front page, his eyes widened as he did so

"Seriously!? Haru's dad is a Yakuza!? How the hell did you find that out? That's almost scary, no one wonder everyone seems on edge this morning, but...posting it on the school news paper? Are you sure that's a good idea? What if he sees this and sends someone after you!?" Shinra exclaimed rather loudly

"Pft, if you keep your mouth hushed, no one is going to know who wrote it anyway, I didn't exactly post my name on it" Izaya stated. Shinra then smiled, he trusted Izaya knew what he was doing. "Heh, Nakura right?" Shinra asked, Izaya smirked

"Nothing gets passed you does it my little nerd friend" Izaya laughed.

Shizuo walked onto the school grounds, noticing for once it was quiet. A male Student ran across him with a newspaper in his hand toward Haru "Watch it!" Shizuo shouted at him after almost getting ran into. The blonde made his way into the building, glaring angrily with gritted teeth when he spotted Izaya

"How's it going Shizu-chan?" Izaya asked with a sarcastic wave.

"Don't talk to me! we're not friends!" Shizuo shouted, Shinra laughed a little when Izaya shrugged and said

"Like I want your friendship anyway you overgrown brute. See ya later Shinra"

"What's that know it all brat up to anyway" Shizuo asked with a hint of venom in his voice.

"Ha ha, nothing you wanna know about" Shinra told him.

"Tst, usual shit as normal then" the blonde replied as Shinra followed him to their first lesson.

Haru was alone, at the back of the school, talking on his cell phone while making sure no teacher was about. "It's all over the newspaper in school" Haru said with a frown.

"Do you know who did it, who posted it?" The person on the other end replied, with a serious tone, one that demanded respect.

"It says Nakura, I think that's a made up name, I've a pretty good idea who it is" Haru said as confident as possible.

There was silence from both ends for a few seconds. "Teach him a lesson..."

"I'm not killing anyone father" Haru told him, trying not to sound fearful

"Ha ha ha, I didn't say that now did I, you're just brats, and brats need to be punished, get it?" His dad laughed half heartedly, but Haru could tell he was serious.

Haru grinned a little "Yeh I got it, I'll do it for you, in your name dad" Haru told him

"That's my son, have fun, you can tell me all about it when I come home tomorrow, try and break a bone, or at the very least make sure he hurts eh?" His dad spoke cruelly that made Haru shudder.

"Y-yes sir" Haru hung up the phone "I'm gonna need help for this"

It was quiet outside, Izaya was sitting on top of the bleachers fiddling with the pocket knife in his hand. He had a free period so he chose to sit in close view where he could watch as people went about their business from across the school grounds. Haru came out of the building, walking up to the cocky teen. "I know it was you!" Izaya turned his attention to the voice and smirked.

"Accusing someone is a very harsh thing Haru" Izaya said acting like he was hurt by the comment.

"You're the only one in this school who would know how to find that out!" Haru shouted back, Izaya leaned back shrugging as he did so.

"I don't like being threatened Haru, I got your results for you, but on top of that I had to make sure you knew I wasn't one to mess with, I'm sure with a dad like yours you should understand that ha ha ha" Izaya laughed.

"And I'm going to teach you what happens when I'm being messed with" Haru stated. Izaya sat up, a hand resting over his knee.

"You think I'm scared of you, just because your dad is Yakuza? Ha ha ha, you and who else?" Izaya asked pointing his knife at Haru. Three others stepped out from where they were hiding. Izaya stood up on the bleachers, arms outstretched with a firm grip on his weapon. "So you want to do this, here on the school grounds? All right then, lets have some fun" Izaya said as he jumped off and sliced Haru across the chest, laughing as he felt a deja vu of his and Shizuo's fight.

Izaya then ran off "Get him!" one of the friends shouted.

"Wait! Two of you run that way to catch him from the front" Haru shouted as the four split up, he and one other started chasing him to where he was running off to. Izaya ran around the corner of the back of the school, he soon ran into the other two that had separated. He stepped back and held up his knife threateningly, Haru and his other friend soon caught up to them. Izaya span around and slashed his friend in the leg, he ducked quickly when a punch from someone else came his way. He sliced him across the shoulder, laughing at their yells. Haru gritted his teeth, unaware how quick Izaya was. "Just grab him!" Haru barked, Izaya side stepped two of them but was a few seconds late to dodge the other two. They grabbed each of his arms and pulled him away to push him into the wall; he seethed a little when the back of his head hit it. Haru and the other one soon joined them "Think its funny now!" Izaya grinned at him, making him more nervous. Haru threw a punch across his face, drawing blood, he then kneed him in the stomach. Izaya grunted at the impact, laughing at their confused faces.

"I'm somewhat disappointed, son of a Yakuza and you can barely throw a punch, no wonder you needed those results ha ha" Izaya said as he freed one of his arms by kicking the guy in the shin. Haru growled and quickly stepped forward, he head-butted him above the eye, giving his friends the opportunity to recapture him.

"Come on Haru! You're dad is a Yakuza, live a little" said one of his friends picking up a broken piece of pipe. Izaya's eyes turned their attention to the weapon, narrowing deadly at it.

"Lets not go overboard Seth" Haru told him, Seth snorted as he swung the pipe back slightly.

Shizuo opened the back door, sighing with relief to get out of class for a few minutes. He lit a cigarette, snickering a little, he was meant to be going to the bathroom. Seth smashed the pipe against Izaya's right leg, his friends cheering him on "Wanna laugh now punk?" Seth asked, hitting the pipe against his rib cage as hard as he could. Izaya dropped his knife when he felt something crack. Haru picked it up and threw it away from them and it clinked as it fell against a pole. Shizuo turned his head to the small noise, taking a drag, he stumped it out as he walked toward the source. Raising an eyebrow, he picked up the pocket knife, he scoffed

"Trying to trap me Izaya?" Shizuo asked himself.

Haru turned his head "I think I heard someone coming" the two released Izaya and he fell against the wall, clutching his side looking in the same direction.

"Fine, lets get out of here" Seth turned around and back hit Izaya with the pipe against the side of his head. Izaya hit the ground with a low yelp, his ears ringing from the impact. The four ran off, passed Shizuo and back around the front of the school. Shizuo watched them run off and slowly made his way to where they had come from. He turned the corner, spotting him

"Shit..."

Izaya lifted a hand up weakly to try and haul himself up, but the injury on his leg couldn't hold him. Shizuo walked toward him trying to figure out how to approach. "Izaya?" He could faintly hear someone with him, he recognised the voice but could barely see anything, his vision blurring out of focus.

"S-shizu-chan..." Izaya managed to say

"What the fuck happened to you?" Shizuo asked, he put a hand on Izaya's shoulder but the boy flinched away, hissing at the shooting pain running across his side. "Do you want my help or not flea?" Shizuo asked angrily, obviously having no idea how badly he hurt right now. Izaya sat back, trying to focus on Shizuo, the blonde could then See some of the extent of his injuries. "Damn it...wait here, I'm getting Shinra" Shizuo told him, before he could walk away a hand grabbed his ankle. "Don't leave...if you're going to help...don't leave me...Shizu-chan.." Izaya pleaded quietly, Shizuo never thought he'd ever see him like this, it was quite disturbing. Izaya's eyelids dropped a little, Shizuo knelt down "Don't fall asleep flea! Izaya!" With a little panic, Shizuo carefully picked him up, noting he'd passed out. He made his way as quick as possible to the medical bay of the school.

An hour later, Shizuo stood by the window watching the nurse bandage his enemy up. She cleaned the head injury, earning a slight movement on Izaya's part. She turned her attention to Shizuo "He'll be fine, whoever attacked him wasn't strong enough to cause serious harm, he has a fractured rib and a broken leg, but I'm more concerned about his head" she told him, like she thought the two were friends. "When he wakes up, he'll have a concussion and may not remember much after the initial fight" she stated and then left the room.

Shizuo stared at the injured boy "Serves you right" he said, but he sat down next to the bed, feeling like he should stay at least until Izaya woke up. Shinra soon ran into the room, startling him from his thoughts.

"Shizuo? I heard from a nurse that something happened to-" Shinra cut himself off as he stared at his unconscious friend. "Whoa, Izaya.." Shinra made his way to them, picking up the clipboard and read the notes about the injuries on it."No doubt this is because of what Izaya did to Haru" Shinra said

"Yeh, I saw him and his three minions run off from where I found Izaya" Shizuo said, supporting Shinra's theory.

"Izaya found out Haru's dad was a Yakuza and posted it on the school newspaper, he's such an idiot, I knew he was up to something" Shinra exclaimed.

"When is the flea not?" Asked Shizuo with a snort

"Yeh..well I've got to get back to class, will-will you stay with him Shizuo? I know it's kind of a big thing to ask" Shinra tried to ask

"I suppose so, nothing much will happen with him like this anyway" Shinra smiled and nodded, then made his way back to his classes. Shizuo looked back over at Izaya, gingerly, he ran the tip of his fingers over the wounded area over his head, getting a few strands of hair away from it. He quickly retracted his hand when Izaya began to stir a little.

"Ngh...fuck...where am I?..." Izaya asked hazily, he could barely move his body and everything was blurry. He turned his head to the side, Shizuo stood up, he watched Izaya glare at him. "Shizu-chan? What are you doing here? Come to watch me suffer ne?"

"You-you don't remember anything?" Shizuo asked, flashes of Izaya reaching out for him to help went through his head. Izaya sat up slightly, holding back a pained groan. The nurse come back into the room, smiling when she saw her patient was awake.

"How are you feeling? my assessments of your condition say you need a week from school to recover" she told him.

"Anything broken?" Izaya asked her

"You have a fractured rib and a broken leg, no permanent damage against your skull, you're quite lucky. What's the last thing you remember?" Shizuo looked over at him, Izaya held his head until the pain dulled

"Pipe..."

"Anything else?" She prodded, there was a slight hesitation

"No.." He finally said. Turning his attention back to Shizuo he laid back a little "If you haven't come to watch me suffer then why are you here?"

"Don't get defensive flea, Shinra just sent me to see if you were ok, personally...I don't care" Shizuo replied and then walked out of the room.

"Are you in any pain?" The nurse asked

"Some..." He confessed.

"I'll get you some morphine, and I've called your parents but-"

"They're not home" he cut her off

"No they weren't, your grandfather is coming to get you"

############

"So you did remember? After all this time you knew?" Shizuo asked, a little more shocked then angry.

"I did, I just- didn't think it was right, it seemed natural to just keep things the way they were...so I lied" Izaya stated

"And now?" Shizuo forced himself to ask, Izaya laid his head upon his shoulder

"I sort of wish I hadn't" there was silence between them both for a long while, Shizuo just sat there, contemplating over what to do now. Izaya had known all along that he'd helped him back in high school, and still he put him through hell.

"Izaya, do you- do you want this relationship? Are you happy to continue?" he had to ask, he needed to know.

"I didn't want it at first, but-it's ok, I'd like to continue"

"I just want to make sure, before things get too deep for us" Shizuo sounded unsure, worried a little. Izaya moved away and stood up from the couch, he walked over to the stereo system. "What are you doing fl-Izaya?" Shizuo asked cautiously.

(Authors note: ok so I got this idea from the film ghost, it's kind of soppy but I loved the idea of their first time being similar to the scene in that film. If you want, it makes it sound better if you listen to the song while reading it _)

whoa...my love, my darlin- I've hungered for, your touch~~

"Wanna dance Shizu-chan?" Izaya asked with smirk

"Not really, I don't know h-" Izaya grabbed his hand, Shizuo got up from the couch and held him at the waist.

"Move with me..." the two began to slowly move together, Izaya began to grind his hips against Shizuo's as they entangled their hands together. Izaya brought his lips to his and Shizuo then deepened the kiss, they swayed a little and then the informant ran his tongue along the bottom of Shizuo's lip and was immediately gained access. Their tongues danced with each others, Shizuo ran his hands over Izaya's back while the other was tugging at his shirt. The blonde began kissing his neck and moved his hands under Izaya's shirt and around his back, gently scraping his short nails down it. Izaya arched a little with closed eyes, Shizuo pulled his top up half way

"Can I..take this off?" he asked a little nervously. Izaya chuckled slightly,

"If you want to" Shizuo gently removed the fabric and threw it in a random part of the room. Izaya pushed Shizuo forward and they backed against the side table, knocking the lamp off.

"You're beautiful...Izaya." Izaya gave him a smile and then nipped against his neck and lifted Shizuo's top up and threw it to the floor. He ran his hands over his muscles, admiring his body

"So strong..." Izaya breathed out "Touch me...Shizu-chan, put your hands on me" the two stumbled as they kissed, Shizuo ran his hands over Izaya's chest. They fell onto the couch, Shizuo put his arms out to stop himself from crushing him. Izaya raked his fingers over the blondes back which caused him to arch, grinding their hips together again. Moving his hands around the front of Shizuo's body, he lowered them and began to unbutton his jeans. Knowing where this was going, there would be no going back after this

"Are you sure you want this?" Shizuo asked

"Are you...?" Izaya questioned back. Shizuo nodded, kissing him and moving his lips down Izaya's body, licking his navel while Izaya undid the last button on his jeans. Shizuo moved his hands around the front, tugging at the hem of his combats, kissing his way back up to his lips.

Shizuo slid Izaya's trousers down along with his boxers, revealing his hardening member. Izaya chuckled at Shizuo's facial expression, he pulled at his jeans sliding them off with his briefs. Shizuo kissed him again and moved around to his ear "Izaya..you're my first...ever" Shizuo whispered, Izaya's eyes widened a little he wasn't expecting that.

Now you tell me Izaya thought, no wonder he looked a little lost. "That's ok..." he whispered back to the blonde. He brought Shizuo's hand up to his mouth, he kissed it and then sucked on two of his fingers, making sure they were completely wet. "I want you...Shizu-chan" Izaya breathed out, Shizuo moved his hand and gently put his two lubed fingers into Izaya's hole. "Aah.."

Shizuo stopped "Did I hurt you?" he asked in a panic.

"No...move your hand against me" as soon as Shizuo did as told, Izaya threw his head back. Getting used to the situation quickly, Shizuo added a third finger causing the informant to arch against him raking his fingers hard across his back. Izaya moved one hand and began stroking Shizuo's hardened member. "I'm ready...for you...Shizu-chan.." Izaya said almost desperately. Shizuo nodded nervously, removing his fingers and placing himself at Izaya's entrance. "Don't be nervous...it's ok" Izaya assured him.

Shizuo slowly pushed into him until he was fully inside, Izaya gripped the couch, Shizuo was bigger then he thought. He let out a small whimper, Shizuo kissed him and waited until Izaya was comfortable with him. "A-are you ok? Izaya...? Shizuo asked, Izaya nodded slowly and wrapped his legs around his body.

"Move inside me...go slow" Izaya told him. Shizuo did as requested and began moving in and out in slow strokes.

"Aaah...Shizu-chan...don't stop" the two kissed as he continued to move inside him.

"Just tell me what you want...Izaya" Shizuo said almost breathlessly.

"Move faster now" Shizuo began to speed up, moving one hand to stroke Izaya "Oh...gooood, aahh.." Izaya gasped with pleasure "Harder!" he demanded. Shizuo slammed into him more roughly, moaning in pleasure at the feeling. His hand continued to stroke Izaya's erection, listening to the pleasure sounds his partner was making. "faster!..." Shizuo pushed into him deeper, thrusting in and out faster as told. He grabbed the informant hard at the sides with both hands as they moved with each other.

"Ngh...watch-watch your strength Shizu-chan" Izaya tried to tell him, Shizuo was in too much pleasure to be able to listen and Izaya was in too much bliss to particularly care at that point.

"I can't hold out..much longer" Shizuo breathed out as he pounded into him a little more

"A little...more" Shizuo gripped onto him tighter with the last few strokes, Izaya winced a little and kissed Shizuo to try and ignore the ache in his sides. With one last thrust, Shizuo came inside him, releasing himself as he threw his head back with a roar of pleasure. Izaya came shortly after, his seed spilling on their chests. Shizuo released his grip on Izaya and removed himself from his ass and kissed the informant tiredly.

"T-thank you...that was, amazing" Shizuo said. Izaya smiled at him, Shizuo didn't think he'd ever see a real smile on his face, not a smirk or a sinister grin, a real smile.

"You were...perfect Shizu-chan, lets move into the bedroom...ok?" Izaya told him through half lidded eyes. With his legs still wrapped around him, Shizuo carried Izaya from the couch "Third door on the left.." Izaya instructed him tiredly, since they'd never been in the bedroom before. The two moved into the room and into the bed covers, Izaya curled up with his back to Shizuo. The blonde wrapped his arm around the small frame, kissing his neck lightly. "Thank you, for giving yourself to me...Shizu-chan" Izaya said, almost asleep. Shizuo smiled in the darkness, who knew they could be this way

"I'm glad it was you..." he told him, feeling a sense of completion for the first time in his life...
