Phew! Glad it's almost over! Okay anyways on with the story~~

Seems like each chapter gets longer, and longer ._.

I Do Not Own Durarara

An Unexpected Invite

Izaya walked into his apartment, very slowly. He was still extremely exhausted, and slightly irritated. First of all he was tired, then he woke up late, and to top it all off, he left his stupid wallet at home! Ughh this was turning out to be really stressful!

It seemed like Namie had left early. He didn't blame her, he didn't really give her a lot of work to do.

Izaya went towards his office area and then saw his wallet there and a note on top of it.

Whatever you were late for, I'm pretty sure it wasn't THAT important to leave your wallet... Idiot.

-Namie.

Frustrated, Izaya crumpled up the note and tossed it in the trash. He looked back towards his desk and saw that all his files were neatly organized, in alphabetical order.

Izaya was pleased with this. At least something was going his way. Well since his files were done, he turned to his chess game to update it. Him and Shizuo were not really fighting right now, so he maybe should move the white King piece, which was Shizuo, next to the black King piece, which was himself.

But, Izaya was in for another surprising disappointment. All of the pieces on his chessboard were scattered all over the place! It looked as if someone swiped their hand to knock all the pieces down!

"NAMIE!" he yelled. This was really crossing the line! He told her specifically not to touch his game board ever! This infuriated the raven.

Izaya went towards the organized papers that Namie sorted earlier, he then picked them all up and threw the across the room, scattering the papers out of order in the process. "Clean that up, bitch!" Izaya growled to himself.

Just then his cell phone started to ring. He pulled it out of his pocket and checked the caller ID. It was his former boss, Shiki.

Izaya answered his phone, "Ah! Shiki-sama! What do I owe you on this fine afternoon?" Izaya tried to hide the fact that he was extremely tired, and pissed.

"Izaya, I have a job for you." the slightly older man answered.

"Oh? And what is it?" Izaya asked.

"I need you to locate 6 former gang leaders for me. They've been in hiding for 2 years, and now, they owe me some money."

"Of course~! Just send me their full names and then I'll get started on it!" Izaya replied.

"Okay, what time you think that you'll be done with it?" Shiki asked. Izaya stopped and thought. Should he get started on it now or tomorrow? Tomorrow sounded way better, since he was already stressed from today's events. It'd be best to start early in the morning.

"Tomorrow in the afternoon they should be done~" Izaya decided.

"Ah okay. Tomorrow afternoon. Thank you Izaya, I'll send you an email of a list of their names." Shiki answered.

"Great. Well, bye Shiki. They'll be done by tomorrow." Izaya dismissed, but by the time Izaya had finished with his sentence, the elder brunette had already hung up. This was usual to Izaya. Shiki's silence was his way of dismissing things. As soon as Izaya say 'bye' the conversation was over.

Izaya shrugged and then went up to his bedroom, to find it in the still messy state that it was in when he left this morning.

"You messed up my game, AND you didn't make up my bed? Fucking bitch! Wait and see I'm going to make your life a living hell tomorrow!" Izaya argued to Namie, even though she wasn't there.

Izaya changed out of his regular attire and into his pajamas that he usually wore. I'll take a shower tomorrow... the tired Izaya thought. He looked on his phone to check the time, which read 5:32. It was early, but a perfect time to go to sleep for Izaya, because of his lack of sleep.

Izaya climbed into his bed and drifted off to a deep slumber.

...

It was dark, and blurry.Where am I? The raven thought. All he could see was a darker shadow hovering over him. Then a voice called out.

"Izaya! Izaya! Come back! Please!" Who was that? The voice sounded so...familiar.

"I love you! Don't leave me! You can't leave me!" the voice shouted again, almost sounding like it was crying. This made Izaya's heart skip a beat. Who loved him? Who was it? Who? Who?

Izaya tried to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth. He seemed paralyzed. He wanted to tell the voice he was fine, and to ask who was there.

Izaya tried to get up, but again, he was too paralyzed to do so, and it was starting to become difficult to breath. What was happening? Where was Izaya going? What was going on?

"Did you hear me flea? I said I love you! Please! I love you, I love you...!" the voice exclaimed. Wait a minute... Flea? Only one person calls him that..."Sh-Shizuo?" Izaya finally called out, breathless.

Why is Shizuo telling Izaya he loved him? And the big question was... Why was Izaya so happy?

"Izaya... Please... Wake up... I love you..."

Izaya's eyes shot open, he sat up on his bed. He was panting heavily and was sweating. "God! What the hell?" Izaya gasped. It was indeed a strange dream he had just experienced. He dreamed that Shizuo loved him? Izaya was repeating the scenario in his mind over and over. Love Shizuo? Shizuo loving him? That was downright impossible.

Izaya reached for his phone, which was on his table, to check the time. 5:15 am. Setting the phone back Izaya got up and went towards his bathroom and did his daily things, which included his shower that he promised himself.

Izaya kept thinking about his dream. What did it mean? He would've never had thought that those words would come out the brute's mouth. Even if it were a dream! It was so... strange. And even the stranger thing about the situation was… Izaya felt… happy. Why? Why did that feeling occur after Shizuo had said that to him? It was all so frustrating!

After his shower, Izaya put on his usual attire and decided to go downstairs to start the job that Shiki wanted him to do.

Making his way downstairs, Izaya found files all across the floor. Oh yeah... Namie is in for a big surprise today... Izaya thought. Instead of going to his desk, Izaya went to his game board. He gathered all of the discarded pieces on the floor and the table, to arrange them back into the specific way he wanted them.

Once he was done, Izaya went to his computer and started his work.

His work was actually taking longer than he thought. He started at 5:40 am and now it was 10:01. So far he had only found 3 former gang leaders, which were pretty difficult to find.

Minutes later, he heard his front door open, then close. "What the hell?" a confused voice asked at the mess that the informant made.

Izaya looked up at the confused woman's face and smirked evilly, "Good morning, Namie~ Next time I tell you not to touch my board game, I really mean it!"

"Do you know how long it took me to organize those!" she yelled.

"I don't know, and I honestly don't care. But what I do care about is that you organize those again." Izaya said sternly.

"What the hell is your problem?" she exclaimed, furiously, although, Izaya wasn't fazed by this. He looked back at his computer screen and began typing, "If you do what I ask, maybe you'll get paid today, because you're certainly not getting paid for yesterday."

"You're such a fucking prick!" she yelled but continued to gather the papers off the floor. Izaya ignored her and continued with his work. It was going to be a long day.

…

Shizuo finally woke up from his slumber. He looked around his sun-lit room, he squinted his eyes so they could adjust. He soon saw his messy room, and groaned. He had to clean up this mess today. It was the one of the only days that he was off from work this week. He could have done it tomorrow, but might as well do it now.

He slowly got out of bed, and decided to put some pants on. He went into his closet and found his bartender pants, and thought it was okay to wear those. He put them on and went to the bathroom to wash up. He then proceeded to pick up his dirty clothes that were scattered throughout his apartment and put them in a hamper.

He picked up the pack of cigarettes, shoes, bowties, and everything else that didn't belong on the floor and put them away in their proper places.

Wondering what time it was, Shizuo looked at a clock in his kitchen, which read 12:38. "Damn, over slept again..." he mumbled to himself. Shizuo didn't mind sleeping in. Actually it was one of his favorite things to do, but he would miss a lot of things in the early morning, like his favorite cartoons, commotions going on in Ikebukuro. It was a real drag if he started to miss stuff.

Irritated that he woke up so late, Shizuo went inside his kitchen to occupy himself, than be upset. He grabbed his favorite bowl of cereal and decided to eat that.

Many people may think that it was rather strange that a grown 24 year old man would still rat cereal, and watch kids' cartoons, but it was one of the many things Shizuo liked to do. Most of his childhood was spent on being so angry all the time, that he never really had time to watch cartoons and eat sweets.

Shizuo ate his cereal on his couch while he was watching TV. Unfortunately, it wasn't his Saturday morning cartoons that he loved, but the news at noon that he loathed so much. It wasn't ever, really news, it was basically just updates on a lot of violence happening in Ikebukuro, which Shizuo detested. He really hates violence, and he hating having such a power that causes it.

Shizuo finished his cereal, and then looked outside his window. It was beginning to become gloomy outside, which was another thing that Shizuo hated. Shizuo loved the sun, and loved the warmth on his skin. He actually wanted to go outside and sunbathe for a while, but obviously that wasn't going to happen.

The weather was changing drastically, at first it was sunny and bright in his room when he just woke up, and now it was really gloomy. Well that strange weather forecast screwed it up for him today.

In the middle of his thoughts he heard a knocking at his door. Shizuo got up and went to answer the door. He opened it to soon find the Dullahan standing there really girly like.

"Hey, Celty. What's up?" he asked.

Celty, with her PDA in her hand, texted a reply. [Hey, Shizuo. I just wanted to tell you something Shinra asked.]

Shizuo raised a brow, "Oh really?" he questioned.

[Yeah. Um do you mind putting a shirt on?] she asked, her body language was very tense, showing that she felt awkward.

Shizuo looked down to see that he indeed forgot to put his shirt on. All he had on was his bartender pants, which were unzipped, showing that he just lazily put them on.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Alright, can you give me one minute please?" asked the blonde, very politely. Celty nodded her head, giving the blonde the permission to get properly dressed.

Shizuo retreated back into his room, and put his normal white dress shirt on and zipped up his sagging pants and went back to the waiting Dullahan.

"Alright. What's the deal?" he asked.

[Well, Shinra wanted me to ask you, what are you and Izaya doing today.]

Shizuo tilted his head to the side a bit. He hasn't thought about the raven all morning. They were supposed to do something today, if Izaya had thought of something, that is. But how could they contact each other? It's not like they already had each other's phone numbers or anything, so Shizuo just shrugged it off.

"I haven't talked to the flea all day. He may be busy." Shizuo said, "And besides... Shinra didn't call me... He could've just called me like he did yesterday to ask me a stupid question like that" Shizuo stated. Damn he felt really smart.

Celty stood there for a minute, tensed. Then she inwardly sighed. [Okay, fine, you figured it out. It was actually me that wanted to know what you two are doing today.]

"Tch. We do have lives you know. I don't want to hang out with him EVERY day." Shizuo answered irritably.

[But, I really want you two to meet up to Shinra's wishes.] she typed.

"What if I have something to do?"

[You and I both know you don't have anything to do.] she replied. It was true, though. Almost every weekend, he had nothing to do. Usually he'd just stand outside, in Ikebukuro, sunbathing while smoking one of his cancerous sticks. On rare occasions, Shizuo would have something to do, like meet up with his brother, or go shopping for his house, which he certainly didn't have to do today.

Shizuo sighed irritably, all he really wants to do was to sit around his house and watch TV.

[Listen, Shizuo, just go to his house today and just hang out with him. Then you won't have to be bothered with him for the rest of next week, if you don't want to.] she promised.

Shizuo sighed; he really didn't have anything to do, so might as well go to Izaya's to pass the time, and for the headless rider to get off his back!

"Alright... Fine. I'll go. But... I'll get there a little later." he agreed.

The Dullahan's body language looked relieved, which meant that she was pleased. She typed on her PDA, [Okay. Thanks. By the way, Shinra wanted you to visit again. He's dying to see his friends again.]

"Celty, I'm gonna do one thing at a time. I'll see Shinra, later." he answered. Celty nodded and waved goodbye to the blonde to leave from the apartment. Shizuo closed the door and sat down on his couch, glaring st the TV but not really listening to it.

Shizuo sighed, "Here I come, Izaya." he mumbled and went towards his bathroom to take a shower.

…

The clock read 3:20 and it was pouring down raining outside. Izaya was almost done with the group of gang leaders he had to locate. He finished up with the fifth one and started to locate the sixth.

Izaya was quite overwhelmed that it took him over 9 hours for him to complete his job... Well approximately 5 with the exceptions of him doing other things like, cooking his food, and taking a couple of long breaks in between each person he found. Not to mention he had to deal with Namie's attitude every now and again. God, she was frustrating, but it was really fun to mock her.

"Orihara, since now I'm finally finished with organizing your files, again I'm going to go take my leave." she hissed, she only used Izaya's last name when she was really pissed at him.

Izaya smirked evilly, "Did you make up my bed?" he asked.

"Yes!" she growled.

"Good, you may leave now", he waved her away.

She cursed him under her breath and started to make her way out of the apartment. On her way to the door, she heard a knocking sound, coming from it. Namie hesitated, but then opened the door slowly.

"Can I help you?" she asked as she saw the tall blonde standing before her, he was soaking wet.

"Uh...yeah...um is Izaya here?" he asked shyly, not expecting a woman to open the door, he was starting to think that he knocked on the wrong apartment door.

"Yes, he's here." she answered, opening the door wider to reveal Izaya sitting in front of his computer, working. He didn't seem to notice that Namie was still there, let alone knowing that Shizuo had arrived.

"Please, come in." she gestured for him to go inside the massive apartment. "Izaya, you have a guest." Namie said.

Izaya finally looked up from his work. His eyes grew wide when he saw the brute standing in his doorway. "Sh-Shizu-Chan?" Izaya blurted out. He didn't expect the brute to come over, and Izaya had mixed feelings about him being there, because of the dream that Izaya had experienced last night. He kept replaying the brute's words in his dream over and over throughout the whole day, "I love you." it repeated again.

The weird part of the whole thing was that, Izaya was actually quite glad that the brute came. He wasn't sure why, but he did.

"Uh... I didn't know you had...uhh...erm...company." Shizuo said slowly, looking at Namie, and then back to the raven.

"Eh? What? Who, Namie? Oh, don't mind her, she's nobody, and she was on her way out. Bye, Namie! Don't get wet~!" he mocked.

"Bye, Orihara! Hope you don't have poison ivy in your bed sheets!" she said evilly, leaving Izaya a bit scared. She then left out the apartment and closes the door, leaving Izaya and Shizuo alone.

"Jesus. Ex-girlfriend of yours?" Shizuo asked.

"Ew...never! That's just my dumbass secretary. Anyways, what brings you here, Shizu-chan?" Izaya questioned as he stood up from his desk to stretch.

"I was sort of ...persuaded, to walk in the rain to hang out with you." Shizuo grumbled, while he trembled a bit. Izaya took notice of this, "Sh-Shizu-chan! Did you walk here in the rain?" taking a closer look to see the blonde all wet.

"Yeah...no big deal." he shrugged.

"It is a big deal! You're gonna get sick! I'll be right back." Izaya said as he ran in the other room to get some supplies. Since when did the flea care about my health? Shizuo thought.

He sighed and sat on the nearby couch and observed his surroundings. Izaya's apartment was humongous! He even had stairs in there! It was way bigger than Shizuo's apartment. Shizuo then looked at the table in front of him and saw a chessboard, with way more than just chess pieces. It had pieces that Shizuo had never seen before, and all of them were arranged in some strange order.

Just the Izaya walked back into the room to find Shizuo fixated with his game board. "Are you fascinated, Shizu Chan~?" Izaya asked. Shizuo snapped his attention to Izaya, to see that he was holding towels and blankets. "What the hell kind of game is this?" he asked.

"It's a special game for me, only I know how to play. Now don't touch it." Izaya warned as he walked in front of the blonde. Izaya threw a towel on Shizuo's head and started to dry him off. "H-hey! What the hell?" Shizuo yelled shocked that the raven was so forward.

"Relax, Shizu-Chan~" Izaya said calmly, while he continued to dry the blonde hair. Shizuo started to blushed, embarrassed that Izaya was treating him like a child. It was like the same scenario when Izaya had tried to force feed him, yesterday, as if Shizuo was a helpless infant.

Now finished, Izaya removed the towel from Shizuo's head, only to find a small pink blush on Shizuo's face.How cute~ Shizu-chan is blushing! Izaya smiled. "Oh, Shizu-chan~ I can see you blushing~!" Izaya mocked.

"N-no I'm not!" Shizuo turned away, even more embarrassed that Izaya saw his face.

"Yes you are~" Izaya said, as he grabbed Shizuo's face and made him turn his way. Shizuo felt nervous as he saw the raven's reddish eyes stare at him. His eyes are beautiful. Shizuo thought. Shizuo's face turned into a deep red as he stared at the raven.

Urgh... I have to stop this! He argued with himself, as he found the strength to brush the informant's hand away and looked somewhere else, trying to hide the blush.

Izaya was sort of disappointed that the brute looked away. He wanted to see the adorable blush that crept across his face. Izaya sighed and grabbed the blanket he had and threw it on Shizuo. "You better warm up before you catch a cold." Izaya suggested as he sat next to the brute.

"My clothes are wet." Is all what Shizuo said.

"I know, but mostly your shirt, and the bottom of your pants..." Izaya pointed out.

"Yeah, I guess it'd be smart if I took off my shirt." Shizuo said blankly.

Izaya blushed at this. Take his shirt off? Is that what he heard? Better ask just in case, "E-Excuse me?" Izaya asked. Without answering, Shizuo started to unbutton his shirt and shrug it off of his back, revealing his upper muscular chest and six pack.

Izaya just continued to stare at the beautiful muscles displayed in front of him. He hypnotized by the monster's beauty. "Oi, flea! You okay?" Shizuo asked, snapping Izaya out of the trance and focusing on the actual Shizuo.

"I-I'm fine, Shizu-chan. I was just thinking about something...uh...don't you want to...wrap yourself in the blanket? You'll be a lot warmer." Izaya suggested, hoping that he brute would hide his beautiful body, so he wouldn't stare at him again.

"Nah. It's pretty warm in here, I don't need it." he replied.

Oh dear God! How the hell was Izaya going to finish his work with that gorgeous body revealed?

"H-how long... Do you plan to stay here?" Izaya turned away and asked, trying to hide his extreme blush.

"Uh... It you don't mind, could I stay for a couple of hours? I don't want Celty to start bitchin' at me." Shizuo sighed.

"Uh.. Sure stay as long as you need." Izaya answered.

Fuck! He was going to stay here for a while! How was Izaya going to contain himself, with the brute exposing himself? This was going to be a very difficult challenge! Ugh! This is going to be a very long night!

Awww XD this chapter made me laugh while I was writing it~

Izaya and Namie are acting like siblings~ Always arguing! Hahahha reminds me of my brother and I sometimes.

Mmmm and Shizu-chan's glorious six pack ~ XD yummy!

Wow and Izaya's dream is so... mysterious XD I'm loving this foreshadow~
