Just wanted to say stuff before the chapter starts. Heh
Thank you so much for the reviews. It keeps my brain working. Gets more ideas in my head. Feel free to suggest writing prompts, I'd be happy to write them if I have time. Though…I'm slightly scared of writing smut. Never done it. Don't know if I will. I might if you guys want it.
Enjoy chapter 7.
Shizuo's been shot? No way. Impossible. This wasn't happening.
Izaya didn't even bother grabbing his coat; his hand squeezed around his cellphone and he immediately ran towards Shinra's apartment. The brunette sprinted through the waves of people, completely oblivious to those he was knocking down. He fidgeted on the subway train, being too impatient to wait. He made a small note to self that he should move in with Shizuo so they'd be living in Ikebukuro instead of Shinjuku.
When he got to Shinra's apartment, his eyes widened in fear and anger when he spotted Shiki alone by the entrance. The informant approached the man with more caution, hands slipping into his pocket to feel the groove of his pocketknife. Shiki raised his hands as if he was surrendering, "I've already done what needed to be done. I admit, I shot him. Me. Not my guards or my other subjects. I shot him because I simply held a grudge and I'm ready for whatever you want to do to me as a punishment."
"You're…giving up?" Izaya asked in disbelief.
"Yes. I brought no guards with me and no weapons. Punch me or kick me. Just make sure you don't kill me or you'll cause trouble. Then, we'll go our separate ways and that'll be that." Shiki said.
"I don't believe you." The brunette spat as he made his way to brush past his former boss and into the apartment. But Shiki continued to stand in his way.
"Izaya, I know you've been wanting to do something to me and I'm giving you this one chance to take it, yet you won't."
Izaya looked at Shiki in the eyes, his glare froze his former boss in his place, "You want me to hit you or something so you won't feel as guilty. The proud Shiki is feeling guilty. Ha! You can just live like this. I don't care. Shizuo and I are fine."
Shiki laughed a bit, "You think you're fine after what I did to you?" He then sighed and moved out of Izaya's way, "I won't get in your way anymore. Your relationship causes too many problems for the world."
The brunette didn't say anything else. He walked past Shiki and pounded his fist on Shinra's door. Celty opened it and gestured for him to come in. Shizuo was sitting on the couch with blood covering his shirt and his pants. Shinra was fixing up his leg and Izaya saw a bandage wrapped around his stomach. The informant ran towards the blonde and hugged him. Shizuo let out a small laugh and wrapped one arm around Izaya to pat his back. When the two pulled away, Izaya finally let his tears out. He had been so focused on getting to Shinra's apartment that he had never had time to react to the situation. Shizuo smiled softly at his teary eyed boyfriend,
"You've been crying a lot ever since you started dating me. Where did the great Orihara Izaya go? The one who is never broken or shaken. I'll be fine Izaya. But I don't know who shot me."
The informant was prepared to tell Shizuo that it was Shiki but he thought better of it and figured Shizuo would just cause more trouble with Shiki if he knew. Izaya slowly calmed down in the corner of the apartment while Shizuo was being treated. His thoughts ran wild in his head as he remembered what Shiki had said.
"Your relationship causes too many problems in the world…" Izaya mumbled quietly to himself. He didn't know what it meant but he felt hurt after hearing those words. He didn't want their relationship to cause problems or worry people. The two monsters of Ikebukuro were finally at peace with each other. Wasn't that good enough?
When Izaya and Shizuo were getting ready to go back to Izaya's apartment, the brunette suggested the idea that they stay at Shizuo's apartment for a while. "It's closer to work for you and I want to see where you live."
"Well…Alright then. It's not as big as your apartment but it's still home." Shizuo replied.
While they were walking under the night sky, they heard many movements within the city. The Yellow Scarves and the Dollars had decided to work together due to the friendship between their leaders and the Slasher was dormant for a long time. It was like Ikebukuro had no news going on, which meant new news was going to come up soon.
Shizuo's apartment was surprisingly clean, it was spotless actually. Izaya was overwhelmed with Shizuo's scent which filled every corner of the room. He walked over to the couch in the middle of the living room and fell face forward onto it. He took a deep breath of exhaustion.
The blonde let the informant dose off while he made dinner. When dinner was ready, he crawled on top of Izaya and pinned his arms above his head. Then the blonde kissed his neck.
The feeling woke the brunette and he let out a small yelp. Shizuo lightly nipped at Izaya's neck and then planted soft kisses afterwards. The brunette suddenly let out a loud gasp followed by a moan when Shizuo sucked at a small part on his neck. Shizuo stopped and looked at Izaya with a raised eyebrow,
"Sensitive neck, hm? I didn't know that."
Izaya blushed heavily and tried to pull his arms out of Shizuo's grasp. He let out a stream of excuses, "Get off. Dinner is going to get cold!"
The blonde chuckled and let go of him, "You're right. Besides, now I know your weak point."
Izaya clapped a hand over his neck protectively and then made his way over to the dinner table.
After dinner, Shizuo threw Izaya onto the bed and kissed him softly which eventually turned into both of them devouring each other. The brunette muttered an apology and the blonde asked what it was for.
"I'm sorry because I'm probably holding you back" Izaya explained vaguely.
"Holding me back from what?" Shizuo asked, still greatly confused. Izaya covered his face, a wild blush dusting his cheeks,
"Holding you back from having s-sex."
The blonde laughed and then hugged Izaya, "I'm not some sex craving monster you know. I have self-control. If you're not ready then you're not ready. That's all there is to it. How many time do I have to repeat myself before you get it?"
The next morning Izaya crawled out of bed to take a shower. When he looked in the mirror he saw a dark red mark on his neck. He examined it further and then remembered what Shizuo had done yesterday to his neck. The brunette ran out of the bathroom and yelled at the sleeping blonde,
"You marked me! Shizu-chan! I can't cover this with my fucking shirt! Wake up! You sex craving monster! What am I going to do with this?!"
Shizuo grumbled and turned around to face Izaya, then he smiled and said, "You trying to seduce me? You know, standing half naked with my kiss mark on your neck is pretty sexy."
The brunette blushed and ran back into the bathroom to finish his shower. Shizuo smiled to himself as if he had accomplished a life goal. The blonde blushed and mumbled to himself, "I should mark him more often. That reaction was way too cute."
