Note: THIS STORY CONTAINS MALExMALE RELATIONSHIPS

Izaya couldnt breathe to answer Shizuo

No, really

With the blonds lips ghosting over his skin like thatand his fingers tracing his spine the raven was lucky to be thinking coherently at all.

It was too much.

Before a moan could slip through his lip's Izaya pushed the blonde away, disentangling himself in the process. Swim trunks having still been in hand (how he managed to keep a grip on them after being so unceremoniously pulled into the water was a mystery) he began to pull them on with a light chuckle.

"Shizu-chan is reading too far into things"

Damnit, he had only been separated from the blonde for a mere five seconds and goosebumps were already forming on his arms.

"Izaya"

The blonds voice came out husky, pointed in a way to make it seem like he was lecturing the raven for his nonchalant behavior. A thought that only made Izaya roll his eyes before walking back towards the blonde. "Come on Shizu-chan, just because we fuckeddoesn't mean our relationship outside of this cave is any different." Stepping over the blonde's legs Izaya sat upon his lap once more, a look on his face as if he was going to try and prove something to the both of them.

The only problem was as his hands fell once more upon Shizuo's abs he didn't foresee how hard it would be to make them move again.

"I guess so..."

Izaya smirked at how easily the blond had agreed.

"But that doesn't mean something had changed before that caused us to do that"

The smirk fell. He hadn't expected that. Damn unpredictability.

"Oh? Pray tell what changed then Shizu-chan? As far as I can tell I'm still the same flea you love to hate."

"You are."

Once more Shizuo agreed and Izaya was giving himself an imaginary pat on the back as he tried to drag his hands off of those hard muscles.

Only he had been too caught up in being angry at his hands for not listening to realize Shizuo was leaning in for another kiss.

It started out small, almost nonexistent. More like their lips were beside each other while their mouths breathed in the other's air until unconsciously Izaya moved closer. Chests pressed flush against each other lips began to work as if they were experimenting, playing until the right angle could be found that would leave Izaya wanting more. Already his cock was twitching just from the gentle strokes of those hands upon his sides and when Shizuo pulled away it took all of his strength to force the whine down.

"I know you feel it."

Izaya closed his eyes, shaking his head. Shizuo was a monster. Not even one of his beloved humans. Why was he letting this happen?

And why did Shizuo seem so okay with this?

But that was just another thing about Shizuo, wasnt it? The male always accepted his gut instincts and hardly ever questioned them. It was why he had no control over himself that first day when he decided he hated Izaya. His gut told him there was something off about this male so he went with it. And even though from then until now those instincts had always seemed to be working against Izaya due to the raven being forced to flee for his life (albeit, willingly) he had never truly felt as though those same instincts might become a problem...until now.

"What does it matter Shizuo? When we get out of here it'll be like nothing had happened anyways."

"Only if we let it"

Izaya remained quiet, curling into Shizuo's chest as warm arms enveloped his body.

Great now he was cuddling with his mortal enemy

… and liking it.

Despite his own somewhat more sure countenance Shizuo was really just as confused as Izaya. Only, what, a few hours before and he would've taken this very same opportunity to squeeze the life out of the louse?

But he knew better than to question that which felt out of his hands.

If he did then he would also have to face all the other unanswerable questions in his life.

Why was he cursed to possess this strength? Why were the only people he could connect with aside from his brother a headless dullahan and a love sick doctor wannabe?

Why couldn't he just be normal?

Questions that always bothered him for the sheer fact that there were no answers to them. There could only ever be acceptance to them being that way because it was how it was meant to be.

And so he told himself all this now when it came to Izaya and the way it felt like his stomach was doing flip flops as the male leaned more into his embrace.

Why was this happening? Why shouldnt he stop it? Was there even a way to stop it and if there was, would he still do it?

Thoughts got in the way of action. They slowed a person down so that by the time they were done thinking a moment had passed them by.

And for one who rarely recieved any opportunities that could be considered good 'moments' in his life Shizuo didn't ever want to miss any of them.

But that didn't necessarily mean that Izaya could or would accept this moment as easily as Shizuo was able to. In fact, quite the opposite. Even now he could practically sense the cognitive wheels in the other males head whirling as he tried to straighten everything out. Hands curling against Shizuo's abs, Izaya's body pressed as much against the blond as he could - causing Shizuo to have to adjust his own position due to being undressed still and unable to think straight with Izaya's body rubbing against him like that.

"Plato..."

Shizuo's hand stilled as it had been sliding up to idly play with Izaya's hairline.

"Who?"

"Behold! human beings living in an underground den, "

Shizuo's eyebrow twitched. Evidently he wasn't going to get an answer to his question. He recognized the name but whatever historical credit was given to the man was lost upon the average student.

"Here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and can only see before them, being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which marionette players have in front of them, over which they show the puppets."

"And do you see, I said, men passing along the wall carrying all sorts of vessels, and statues and figures of animals made of wood and stone and various materials, which appear over the wall? Some of them are talking, others silent."

Shizuo couldnt help but wonder where any of this was going.

"Izaya..."

His voice came out frustrated but the raven ignored him, a hint of a frown upon his lips that brushed against Shizuo's chest as he continued speaking.

"and they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave and of the objects which are being carried in like manner "

"And if they were able to converse with one another, would they not suppose that they were naming what was actually before them?"

"Oi! Im not keeping up, flea!"

Izaya paused at the frustrated tug to his hair before lifting his head from Shizuo's body to glare at the uncultured brute. "Plato's Allegory of the Cave Shizu-chan, can't you keep up when Im trying to make a point?"

"What the hell does it have to do with anything?"

"You mean besides the suitable name?"

Shizuo's eyebrow twitched as Izaya smirked.

Now Shizuo was getting really annoyed. Here he was about to receive a second lecture on something he didn't care about during his time away from school. Was this going to be a common occurrence with Izaya? Maybe he'll eventually learn how to tune the male out when he goes on these intellectual tirades. Though that could very well backfire...Shizuo did always get the feeling that Izaya was like a girl wherein he couldn't stand being ignored or not listened to. Already despite the ever prominent teasing smirk his eyes were narrowed at Shizuo who promptly rolled his own but let the raven continue.

Evidently Izaya needed this.

"Though I know youwon't understand the intricacies of the allegory that's alright. I'll only explain what you need to know."

Izaya's smirk widened at Shizuo's glower. Perhaps they will be allowed to keep this part of their relationship the same to an extent.

"At its simplest level the allegory simply compares ideas, forms if you will. The prisoners who have seen nothing other than the wall think that's all there is and label things accordingly. To them the shadow of a book is really a book"

Izaya shifted, the angle at which his leg was bent causing it to begin to fall asleep on him. Immediately at the adjustment however he felt the heat level rise in Shizuo and upon closer inspection noticed him flushing.

Ha...~

"But one escapes and goes outside to discover reality. Scared and excited he runs back in to tell the others of his findings. However not only do they not believe him but had they been free they would have killed him for telling them that what they thought was the true form of something, wasn't."

Izaya's fingers dug into Shizuo's ab's causing the male to toss another glare towards him before slowly allowing them to fall and brush his pelvic bone. Almost immediately Izaya could feel the other's body tensing as he tried to ignore the sensation.

"And how does this relate to us?"

Shizuo's breath fell heavy as he forced the words out. He had been trying to not let it be known that Izaya was getting to him but that kind of failed.

"Imagine the whole world, including us, had been those prisoners when it came to our perception of each other."

Hands sliding up to grip Shizuo's shoulders, Izaya lifted his body so he was kneeling over Shizuo's legs land the others hands fell to unconsciously grip his ass. Almost immediately when he realized this Shizuo tried to let go only for Izaya to lean in to trace his tongue over the shell of the blonde's ear. His plan evidently being to torture Shizuo by dragging out the conversation.

"All we felt and saw were shadows of the emotions we truly possess."

Shizuo bit back a groan as Izaya's lips rubbed against his ear while he spoke. Hands moving down the raven, he traced the skin of the upper leg not currently hidden by swim trunks until the other moved them away.

"And now we've walked into reality and seen the truth, leaving the others behind."

Having enough Shizuo wrapped his arms around Izaya's back again and pulled down to make him fall once more onto his lap. Izaya went down easily enough, immediately grinding against the blonde before one of those insane grins crossed his face and he abruptly disentangled himself despite how his body almost cried at the loss of heat.

"I dont think Celty or Shinra will kill us."

"No, but will they believe us?"

Shizuo remained quiet. Even though he wanted to say yes he knew it would take a while before they could accept what they saw as truth.

And they were his closest friends and generally believed everything Shizuo said.

What would the rest of the world think?

"Does it matter?"

Izaya glanced over his shoulder as Shizuo stood as well. Closing the distance between them, he pulled Izaya back against him, lip's connecting instantly. However this time both sets of eyes remained open, reading and calculating the other's until the fire in Shizuo's burned through Izaya's uncertainty.

"Dont underestimate me Shizu-chan."

Izaya pulled away, his crimson eyes glowing in the darkness that enveloped his face. "By the end of this you could very well wish you had never met me"

Shizuo silenced him with a smirk. The look caused Izaya to mimic it until both were staring the other down, trying to see past the darkness into their very souls.

"Then it'll be like things had never changed, wont it?"

Izaya gripped Shizuo's arms before wrapping them around his back. Though his back didnt hurt as it once had the touch still made him grimace and cause Izaya's smirk to widen. "What a clever point. Im impressed Shizu-chan." Removing one hand from the other's back, he reached down to grip the blonde's half erect cock, an innocent expression on his face with the first stroke. Shizuo's hips instantly jerked.

"The rest of plato can wait for later, ne~?"

Shizuo was still annoyed.

Even if he had been the one getting hard (no thanks to someone) he couldn't help but wonder if the physical aspect was all that Izaya would ever accept of this relationship.

With both evidently feeling very different about this whole situation, would their emotions ever align in something other than lust?

Shizuo accepted it because his heart told him to.

Izaya however had to use his mind to make sense of something that one's mind should never comprehend.

For when Izaya understands why he cares for Shizuo, would that change their relationship to something predictable? Boring? Everything that would chase someone like Izaya away in order to seek some new excitement?

Shizuo figured he was just going to have to hope for the best...or at the very least enjoy it while he can.

Shizuo bit his lip, a gasp having just slipped through as Izaya's tongue took the place of his pumping hand. With the hand moving to grip the base of the blonde's cock, Izayas other held onto a hip to keep the tall male from dangerously jerking as his mouth quickly enveloped the tip. The wet heat caused Shizuo's head to fall back, his blood beginning to pound in his ears. Izaya's mouth descended lower, both hands coming to play with the small section that he couldn't engulf into his mouth without Shizuo's help.

Reaching forward Shizuo grasped the back of Izaya's head, his back arching slightly as he tried to get more. His slight thrust caused Izaya to moan around his pulsing rod, hands slipping away while he tried to get Shizuo to thrust again but this time to aim for the back of his throat.

Like that

The blonde shivered at the feeling of Izaya humming in pleasure, unable to see the way the raven's hands had moved to free his own erection from his swim trunks and was now pumping it in time with his tongue's ministrations. But as enjoyable as it was to taste the precum that began to fall into his mouth it wasn't enough. He needed more

Izaya jerked as Shizuo's grip tightened and wasn't sure if he was happy or disappointed as he was pulled away from his treat. Hazy crimson eyes looked up, unable to see Shizuo's face as the other male fought down the orgasm that had threatened to overcome him when Izaya's tongue had begun to push at his slit.

"Izaya" The raven whimpered in reply, relishing in the way Shizuo seemed to be able to read his mind despite not being able to see his face as he crouched down and flipped the smaller male over so that he was on his hands and knees. Then, one hand wrapping around Izaya's waist to take over for the raven's pumping hand Shizuo seemed to curl around his body, tongue licking a hot trail up from the back of Izaya's neck to the base of his ear. The sensation caused Izaya to push back, grinding against Shizuo's erection and causing both males to groan in impatience. With his hand already being wet from the water and since Izaya had already been prepared earlier Shizuo didnt bother to have Izaya rewet them, instead sliding his swimtrunks completely off to thrust two in at one time and causing a spasm to shoot through the raven's shocked body.

"Ngh-Ah!" Izaya groaned as Shizuo's teeth bit into his shoulder, his hands both only seeming to gain speed at the sound. Hips rolling back to meet Shizuo's fingers, the raven fell to where he was upon his elbows, having been unable to keep his arms from shaking enough to keep his body upright. When Shizuo felt the other fall he instantly removed his fingers mid-scissor, using both hands to hold his cheeks apart as this time he quickly drove into the male under him.

Izaya gasped, his head hanging until he simply crossed his arms under him so that he could lay his forehead upon one. Shizuo paused once he felt himself go in as far as he could, getting used to the way Izaya's muscles seemed to be trying in vain to force him in further. "Shizu-Oh!" Eyes closed Izaya couldnt stop the slight scream as he tried to speak the blonde's name only for him to suddenly pull out and ram in again. Body shaking, he ignored the hands that were trying to steady his hips, instead choosing to push back against the blonde as a slow rhythm began to get built.

Shizuo grunted as he felt Izaya trying to slam back harder against him. With each thrust he seemed to slide in further than should have been possible only for Izaya to clamp down on him as if to stop him from sliding back out again.

Body still curling around the raven, his speed began to pick up as he felt his own release approaching. He wanted to hold out, to beat Izaya at least but unlike him the other wasnt even trying to hold back. His body spasmed with each attack to his prostrate, moans no longer being muffled as white spots began to cloud his vision. His toes were curling, fingers clutching at the rock underneath him as if trying to find something to hold onto to no avail. Garbled words that sounded like various forms of Shizuo's name escaped his lips until finally with one particularly strong attack both males felt their bodies become overwhelmed with a sensation that had them releasing before Shizuo could pull out again.

Panting Izaya's body collapsed, falling completely upon the limestone only to be followed shortly after by the blonde.

"Damnit..."

Izaya cussed, not seeming to notice as Shizuo's hand found his and made their fingers interlock.

Raising an eyebrow, Shizuo turned his head to look at Izaya's still slightly heated face as his breathing began to slowly even out.

"Now I gotta get back into the water."

Shizuo laughed, the mirthful sound managing to echo around them slightly and making Izaya's frowning lips twitch as if he was forcing the negative expression to stay on his face.

"I fail to see the hilarity in this Shizu-chan"

Izaya pulled his hand away, his countenance teasing as he grabbed his swim trunks once more and stumbled back towards the cave water. Yes, of couse Shizuo would find it funny -he wasnt the one covered in the sticky mess and he wasn't the one continuously freezing to death down here.

Hilarious.

"We can always do it again to warm you back up"

Izaya wished he had something to throw at the blonde. Not that it would have done much damage anyways but at least it would have made him feel better.

This time he took a note from Shizuo, not exactly jumping into the cold water but also not trying to draw out the inevitable as he quickly submerged himself. What he would give for some soap! Instead all he could do was use his hands to try and brush the white mess off of him.

Shizuo's laughter died down to just a rumble in his chest as he heard Izaya vanish into the water. Picking up his forgotten shorts, he stretched his shoulders slightly as if to test his sore back before following the raven in. Who knows maybe with some more of these 'exercises' itll go back to normal.

Once in the water it took some time for the duo to get back out. The first few times Izaya tried a certain protozoic blonde would pull him back in until finally out of frustration Izaya began to try and dunk Shizuo under the water. Something that was surprisingly hard given that the blonde couldn't exactly see him nor could even his long legs touch the ground. It turned south pretty fast after that when Izaya finally did manage to submerge that blonde head only for Shizuo to retaliate and a full blown battle commenced.

It was only once Izaya was too tired to continue and Shizuo was somewhat panting from the exertion was he finally allowed out to pull his swim trunks back on.

"Let's quit wasting time"

Izaya sounded slightly peeved but Shizuo still smirked at the way the others cheeks puffed out. "We won't ever get out of here at this rate."

Shizuo moved slower, climbing out of the water and pretending for a minute that he had lost his shorts before Izaya grabbed them and threw them in his face. But despite the raven's mutterings of 'why you of all people...' the grin still stayed on himself even once the pants were back on.

"I give, which way?"

Izaya got quiet at the simple question, walking towards the right as if to see if he could find any clues while Shizuo waited. The place they were in also felt rather large and frankly Izaya wasn't sure if there was a way back up. Going down all the time certainly wasn't helping them escape.

"Shizu-ch-"

A loud crash echoed throughout the cavern and Shizuo practically jumped out of his skin as he hurried towards where Izaya had been. Whatever it was he had been trying to say seemed to have been forgotten as now all Shizuo could hear was some rather pained whimpers.
