In a place no one would expect there was a large academy. In that academy were dorm rooms for the special students. In one of those dorm rooms a black blur shot up out of bed eyes wide finding himself in a predicament. The student went by the name of Mikado Ryugamine. A petite raven that wasn't human. Mikado was a youkai or a monster if you wanted to be rude and this is his story.
Mikado was sixteen years old and a Nekomata. His most obvious feature were the two flexible black tails protruding from his lower back. Like boots black fur covered his ankles and feet as well as his hands. More noticeable was the feline ears poking out from underneath his hair and sharp blue eyes.
The bed above him was empty easing his panic over the current situation. The Nekomata had made friends with Izaya Orihara. The same one that he imagined was laughing at his plight.
Izaya was an incubus. A demon of lust, one that didn't have shame in what he did. Slipping from bed Mikado hurried across the room to the privacy of the bathroom.
Too late the door opened and in walked his room mate. Shizuo Heiwajima, a werewolf. Mikado stared at the wolf noting their differences. Shizuo was in the class of monster closer to human. His hair was a glittering blonde yet his ears and tail were a chocolate brown.
The sun was rising. That was why. Night classes were over and now it was his turn. Shizuo sniffed nose crinkling. Mikado flushed holding his change of clothes against him. "The flea again?" The blonde growled finally.
Mikado nodded. A large hand patted his shoulder. That was the end of their conversation. Shizuo hopped up into the bed curling in on himself falling asleep instantly. With a nervous sigh the raven relaxed slipping into the bathroom.

Rajin academy for monsters. That's where he lived and learned. Mikado dressed in his white and green sweatshirt along with slim fitting black shorts. It was easier to move and because they cut low his tails had more freedom. Because of so many alterations everyone was allowed to wear their own clothes.
Shizuo was more lax wearing a plain white shirt and ripped jeans. No matter how much the werewolf got messed up he still looked amazing.
"Good morning, Mikado-kun." A certain demon purred leaning against his shoulders. "Sweet dreams?" Izaya was another amazing demons. Even though the incubus had enemies everyone was smitten or perhaps it should be intoxicated.
Izaya wore simple black jeans and a plain v neck. His horns were thick and majestic the points sharp enough to gouge a hole into any unsuspecting victim. A long thin tail balanced perfectly behind him. Izaya was the dream demon in more ways than one. Hot, top of his class and irresistible.
Mikado liked him perhaps was even drawn to him. The dreams Izaya gave him more than likely participated towards the swaying of his body. "N-no thanks to you!" The Nekomata flushed looking down at the floor.
"Ne, I'm giving you what you want. You shouldn't be so ungrateful, Mikado-kun." Izaya purred teasingly against his ear. The incubus knew everything that went in on the dorms. He had control over everyone's dreams taking the form of the one they loved the most. Almost every night Izaya visited his dreams in the guise of Shizuo.
"I- you fed from me." Mikado protested biting his lip. It didn't feel right using Shizuo's image. Not when the real deal wouldn't so much as touch him.
"You enjoyed it. Your energy is delicious." Mikado's blush deepened guided along to his class. What he had with Izaya was anything but innocent. He was playing to the tune the raven had set. But what he felt with Shizuo...that was real. Painful and real.
Mikado found himself constantly wishing he could attend the night classes along with his room mate. When he returned to he dorm after classes their paths would briefly cross.
x-x-x
There was only one time the two of them for to spend the night together and that was with the rise of the full moon. Shizuo couldn't attend classes in his transformed state much to Mikado's happiness.
It was the nights that he didn't sleep and the ones where Izaya didn't take from him. The following morning the incubus would be in an irritated morning and someone would suffer perhaps a cut or something worse.
Mikado couldn't help it. How could he sleep knowing the one he loved was so close to him? Shizuo was heavier in his wolf form which was even better. From his bed he could see the thick blanket set out next to the dresser. Shizuo was curled up on the blanket looking beautiful.
The Nekomata stared in admiration mentally measuring the small distance between them. A small growl rumbled from the sleeping beast sending shivers down his spine. Quietly slipping from the bed Mikado padded lightly across the floor sitting in front of the sleeping wolf.
Reaching out hesitantly his fingers drowned in thick soft fur. A small smile touched his lips. Underneath his touch the wolf remained fast asleep. Mikado smiled smoothing out Shizuo's fur.
Shizuo was out for the count. Izaya could run in to jump on him and it wouldn't make a difference. Gently he touched the wolf's head lightly scratching his ears. He paused hearing a soft sound that was almost a purr.
Smile widening and feeling a little braver, Mikado carefully rested his fingers against Shizuo's wet nose trailing them along the muzzle. "Heiwajima-san, I'm in love with you." He whispered quietly not wasting his chance. Crouching forward his lips pressed against Shizuo's muzzle.
Seconds later the wolf stirred. Mikado was already under the covers of his bed eyes scrunched closed, heart pounding violently. His hands squeezed his tails stopping it from waving around in happiness.
A low disgruntled growl sounded close by. Mikado's ears twitched hearing Shizuo stalk forward. A cold nose prodded his back. The raven shuddered wondering in panic if he had crossed the line. There was an image of gaping jaws and sharp teeth that could easily tear him apart.
The growling continued. Mikado felt a pull on his pyjamas. In one smooth movement he found himself on the floor. Opening his eyes he sat up. Shizuo was standing over him teeth bared.
"I'm sorry." The Nekomata apologised quickly. Blue eyes blinked when a cold wetness touched his nose. A warm scratchy tongue gave his cheek a long lick. "Heiwajima-san?" The wolf was already back on the blanket curled up.
x-x-x
It wasn't until the morning that Mikado realised what had happened last night. A thud woke him and everyone else. Running outside his room he could see Izaya being slammed into the wall by an angry looking Shizuo.
Everyone looked as surprised as he was. Izaya slid to the floor laughing uncontrollably. Mikado quickly side stepped, Shizuo stormed past him climbing onto the top bunk bed. Mikado like everyone else stared dumbfounded between the pair.
"Izaya-san!" Mikado ran from the room across the hall. "Are you okay?"
The incubus stopped laughing grinning up at him. "I'll feel better with a kiss." Mikado flushed averting his gaze. His reaction only earned more laughter from Izaya. "It was a joke. I'm fine. That protozoan didn't do any lasting damage."
"What did you do?" The Nekomata asked helping Izaya up.
"I didn't do anything. Not last night anyway." Izaya teased. "Shizu-chan seems to think I gave you a dream last night. Your heart rate was erratic. He warned me to leave you alone. Well we both know why your heart rate was erratic." Izaya chuckled skipping off ahead.
Mikado stared after him face aflame before ducking back into his room to get ready for classes. The raven couldn't stop smiling at the thought of Shizuo doing something for his sake. It wasn't the last time that Izaya and Shizuo butted heads and it always seemed to be the morning after a full moon.
x-x-x
Because of izaya seemingly being a threat, The balance in the dorm room shifted. Mikado found himself becoming more daring engaging the blonde in conversation. What had started off as good morning and good evening had gradually become sentences full of sincerity and concern.
The dreams still continued along with the raven's teasing. Mikado didn't mind any more. Izaya was only joking around and finally...finally he was getting somewhere with Shizuo.
Guiltily he hadn't told the werewolf about the first secret kiss or the ones after that. They were secret mementos in his hopeless romance. There was no hiding what he had done. Not with Izaya in his head poking around in his subconscious.
The nekomatas had a particularly nasty habit in the human world. It mainly evolved eating and abducting. Mikado had hoped he wouldn't feel such a desire to do so. His hopes were dashed. The want to have Shizuo all to himself was growing with every passing day.
As a werewolf Shizuo was strong, fast, instinctive and weak. Compared to who he was and Izaya the blonde was at a disadvantage. Mikado had never fought against the incubus in fear that Shizuo would find himself locked in a dream world there was no escape from.
The bathroom door opened Mikado's nose twitched hands quickly reaching to still his tail. Shizuo was half dressed steam turning into glistening rivulets.
"Bathroom free, kid." Mikado nodded swallowing thickly. "What's wrong? The flea been messing with you again?"
"No! No nothing like that. I didn't expect you to be up this morning."
"It's a saturday. Not like I'd want to waste the day away sleeping." Shizuo grumbled drying his hair. "Kid...got any plans today?"
Mikado blinked quickly shaking his head. "No! Why?"
"Wanna hang out?" Mikado bit the inside of his cheek trying to control his happiness. His smile was wide a happy bubbling sensation inside him.
"Yeah. What do you want to do?"
x-x-x
Back then he was a fool. A shy teenager with low self esteem overly excited about his gorgeous room mate paying attention to him. Mikado was naive and foolish biting off more than he could chew. In truth he hadn't understood a thing.
Not about izaya's true trickster nature or more importantly the clause held over Shizuo's head since he had been born.
x-x-x
"Mikado-kun!" Izaya grinned draped over him. "What's wrong? You don't like playing with me any more?" Mikado flushed looking up to meet gleaming crimson.
"What do you mean?"
Izaya shook his head looking disappointed. "Mikado-kun, you aren't stringing us along are you? What happened to that innocent boy you used to be? Sneaking kisses, enjoying naughty dreams..."
Mikado stopped averting his gaze. With the distance closing between him and Shizuo, the gap between him and Izaya was widening. "No. I- Shizuo-san is a lone wolf. He doesn't like crowds."
"Oh? Three is a crowd. I'll let you off this time." Izaya grinned ruffling his hair. "After all I'm the only one that's seen your entirety." With a wink the incubus skipped on ahead.
x-x-x
Almost a year after that first secret kiss Shizuo confessed asking him out. Mikado could remember that day perfectly down to the tears flowing uncontrollably down his cheeks, a warm embrace and their first official kiss.
It was soft, gentle and hesitant. After what he had been doing with Izaya the innocent act broke his heart. Shizuo was finally his. "Mikado, this belonged to my grandmother. It's yours now."
Mikado couldn't find the words left speechless to stare at the platinum ring on his finger with a white chalky rock set in. "...Shizuo-san, this is...thank you." He didn't understand why he was being given a ring.
The blonde gave him a blinding smile filled with endless love. Mikado giggled scooped up into Shizuo's strong arms. He didn't see that the door to their room was open or that they were being spied on.
All that mattered to him at that moment was Shizuo. "I love you Mikado."
"I love you too, Shizuo."
x-x-x
The dreams stopped. it wasn't the case of Izaya being angry or upset. The dreams simply stopped. Mikado slept every night peacefully always waking up in Shizuo's arms.
Everyday was bliss, thanks to them being room mates it felt like they were newly-weds. Because that's what they were.
Mikado waited patiently. For once he wanted to welcome Shizuo back. To give his lover a kiss. It shouldn't be long now. The door opened. Mikado grinned opening his mouth only to find Izaya standing in the doorway.
"Izaya." The incubus smirked skipping forward. Insistent lips pressed against his own. With a sigh Mikado realised what had happened.
"...I fell asleep. I thought you weren't giving me dreams any more."
"We haven't played in a while." Mikado tilted his head giving Izaya access. "This is only a dream."
"He can smell it." Mikado murmured finding his arms around Izaya's neck. "Shizuo knows every time you invade my dreams."
The incubus smiled cupping his arousal. "Ah." Mikado purred leaning further into the raven's hand.
"I know. I have the bruises to prove it. Are you going to push me away?" Izaya questioned sliding a hand under his top.
"...no." Mikado gasped finding himself caught as he did every time. "It's only a dream. You can do as you like."
"I intend to." Izaya grinned mischievously.
x-x-x
Mikado lay in a pleasured daze legs bent and spread. Izaya was nestled between them taking his fill. "Ah! Ah. There. Izaya!" Mikado gasped arching his back. His tails slapped against the mattress.
"What are you doing?" Came a low growl. Mikado blinked seeing an angry looking Shizuo standing at the door. Glancing at Izaya he knew it was another one of the incubus's tricks. It was one played before when Izaya had started visiting his dreams as himself.
"Shizu-chan. I didn't expect you back so soon." Izaya lied through his teeth. "Just when we were getting to the good bit."
Mikado froze realising that it wasn't a dream. Izaya was playing with his body in reality. In the world that he was Shizuo's. "...Shizuo- I-"
"Well this looks awkward. If you want to continue, Mikado-kun you know where I am." In a blink of an eye Izaya was gone.
"Shizuo, I thought it was another dream." Mikado said quickly feeling ashamed.
"...you like the flea?" Shizuo asked strangely calm.
"Yeah. But I lo-"
"I see. I guess you'll have more fun with him. I wish you the best." The door closed with an almost harsh slam. Mikado flinched seeing how Shizuo had reacted. The lack of reaction couldn't have been good. Hanging his head he gazed at the ring feeling miserable.
Shizuo didn't return to the room or the dorms.
x-x-x
It was almost a week after Shizuo had discovered him making out with Izaya. During that time there had been no sign of the werewolf. Izaya had been no help laughing at his quandary.
No one knew or seemed to care about Shizuo. It looked like the blonde hadn't even been attending class. Mikado didn't know the first place to look. Or at least he didn't until a gorgon arrived at his door.
Mikado felt tiny staring up at the man with snakes for hair. At first glance they looked like human dreadlocks. "Uh hello." Mikado bowed politely his fingers trembling against the door.
"Hi. I'm Tom." The gorgon introduced himself.
"Mikado-kun, are you- Tanaka-san. What brings you here? You aren't going to hurt poor Mikado-kun are you?" Izaya intervened standing by his side. Immediately he could see one of me snakes lash out only to be pulled back out of harms way.
"I'm here to collect Shizuo's things." Mikado froze. He didn't know who the older teen was but somehow he knew Shizuo.
"...is he okay?"
"I'm only here to collect his things." The gorgon answered eyes cold.
"Please. Is Shizuo okay?" Mikado pleaded getting on his knees.
"Physically. If you're worried about him seeing you two together- don't. Shizuo will be leaving before the next full moon."
"I need to talk to him." Mikado pressed."
"Like I said I'm only here to-"
"Collect his things." Izaya yawned looking bored. "Go ahead. I'll keep Mikado-kun company. Unless there's something else you wanted..."
x-x-x
The presence of someone else he didn't know in Shizuo's life shook his up. Every now and then he would look to Izaya for an answer. Shizuo hadn't kept much at all but seeing the unknown gorgon rummaging through the blonde's things hurt. Sliding one hand in front of the other subtly he covered the ring he had never taken off.
"I think that's it." The gorgon sighed.
"Well if it's not you can always come back at a later date. Hm?" Izaya said next to him.
"It wouldn't really matter. You can keep the ring." Mikado shuddered seeing one of the snakes glaring at him with accusation.
"Wait!" The nekomata called out too late. The gorgon was gone along with his only hope of contacting Shizuo.
"Don't worry about it, Mikado-kun. Clearly Shizu-chan didn't love you enough." Izaya pointed out drawing him back to the bed.
x-x-x
Mikado snuck out that night leaving the dorms in an attempt to visit the night classes. He didn't want to give up on Shizuo. If caught he would be sent back to the dorms and dealt with in the morning. It didn't stop the nekomata peeking through the classroom windows.
"Need I remind you why you are here?" He heard a shout from inside. The scraping of nails against a chalkboard made him flinch backing away. "These tests aren't normal. These tests will help you and your classmates in future. You are in a special class for a reason. In the human world you are the ones most in danger."
"We know our weaknesses." A small voice answered. Mikado whined folding his ears down.
"Do you? What makes a gorgon lose control of their power?"
"Strong emotions." The same voice answered.
"Correct. What is it that humans believe about mermaids?"
"Eating a mermaid's flesh will make them immortal."
"Correct. A harder one then. Why can't a werewolf love more than once?"
Mikado froze slowly lifting his head. What?
"Because they live by the soul mate principal." Someone different answered. "Once they fall in love they can't love anyone else. In addition they can choose to lose their human side on the next full moon and embrace their wolf side."
"Correct. Next question." Mikado ran back to the dorms. The full moon was in two days marked on his calendar with a big red ring.
x-x-x
"Izaya!" Mikado banged loudly on the door waiting for the incubus to answer.
"You and I could be having a very rewarding dream right now." The raven purred letting him in. "Why aren't you asleep?"
"I need to find Shizuo."
"He doesn't want to see you." Mikado shook his head not liking the answer.
"Do you have any special conditions or weaknesses?"
"Me? Nope. I do what I like when I like." Izaya grinned leaning against the bed. There was no sign of a room mate, the two beds pressed together to make a bigger one.
"Then I can't be with you. I'm sorry. Shizuo lives by the soul mate principal. He chose me." Mikado stood nervously waiting for Izaya to laugh or cut him.
"Figures. It's you or nothing for the protozoan."
"...Yeah. I think he's going to give up his human half to the moon tomorrow night. Please Izaya. Help me find him."
Izaya laughed. "Not only do you want me to help you, you want to us to break up? Such a shame Mikado-kun. I guess I'll help. I'll want something in return though." Izaya sat on the bed. "I might catch something going into that wolf's dreams."
"What?"
"He's at the main gate. I'll keep him asleep until you get there." Mikado had no chance to object. The incubus fell backwards against the covers blinking out of the room.
x-x-x
Mikado ran with an urgency he didn't know he possessed. His body became smaller and more compact. As a black cat he had a bigger chance of catching up to Shizuo doubting Izaya's words.
The werewolf wasn't at the gates like the incubus had said. He was outside passed out in the middle of the road further down the street. Pushing his head through the gap Mikado eased his body through bolting over to where Shizuo lay.
Back in his human form Mikado grabbed the blonde's arm dragging him out of harms way. "Izaya?" He whispered. The only way Shizuo would wake is if the incubus permitted it.
Under the lamp light Mikado could see Shizuo shiver a faint blush on his cheeks. Smoothing out the knitted brow Mikado slipped his hand into his mate's. They would be together forever. "Shizuo?"
It was a good five ten minutes before the werewolf woke up torn between rage and embarrassment. "Shizuo!" Mikado threw his arms around the blonde. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I won't leave your side, I promise. Please don't become a wolf."
"I was going back to see my family. What are you talking about?" Nevertheless Mikado snuggled into Shizuo's arms as they enclosed around him. "It was my fault for not telling you. I can only ever love you."
"I'm sorry. Izaya was..."
"It's okay. I know. If you stay with me I'll never let you go. Forever is a long time." Mikado smiled. His decision had been made when he had first met Shizuo.
x-x-x
"Tonight we have an addition to our class." The teacher smiled. "This is Mikado Ryugamine, Shizuo Heiwajima's life partner." Mikado flushed feeling shy with all the gazes on him. Slowly looking up he found his gaze settling on Shizuo and the empty seat beside him. His place.
"And I'm sure you all know Izaya Orihara." The teacher sighed sounding bored. "Nice of you to join us once again."
"I'm so happy you missed me sensei." Izaya grinned. Mikado stared at the incubus shuddering. Izaya's eyes were pitch black unlike the soft crimson he was used to.
"Now who can tell me what a vampire and an incubus have in common?"
Mikado took his chance quickly scurrying to Shizuo's side. "These are my friends." Shizuo smiled gesturing to the desks around him. "Tom, Vorona and Celty. This is my soul mate, Mikado."
Mikado grinned leaning into Shizuo who wrapped a protective arm around him. This was all he needed.
x-x-x
"So tiring." Izaya grumbled draping himself over their backs. "Still it's better than being out in daylight. Makes me so weak." Mikado smiled not voicing that he was happy Izaya was still by his side.
"Piss off flea." Shizuo clearly wasn't.
"Careful there, Shizu-chan. I have my original strength and speed back." Izaya chuckled backing away now they were at their rooms.
"You two. Please don't fight." Mikado pleaded looking between them.
Izaya grinned smirk widening. "Oh we're not fighting. I've seen Shizu-chan in a whole new light." The incubus purred. "I don't see why we all can't get along."
Mikado shuddered and next to him he felt Shizuo do the same. Izaya vanished from behind them only to reappear in front of them kissing them both on the cheek. "Sweet dreams." With a wink the incubus was gone leaving a mischievous chuckle in their minds.
