Chapter 9:
Izaya's POV
Izaya smiled to himself as he roamed the streets. Lately, he had been treating the blonde to lunch any day he had to work, sometimes even joining him as he worked. Izaya found the blonde's presence to be comforting and adoring. Izaya knew he liked the blonde, but would it be worth it to pursue a relationship with Shizuo, knowing he had a son? Izaya wasn't sure if he'd be able to handle taking on a fatherly role.. He probably could, but he had no idea how.. He had been seeing Shizuo every day for at least 2 weeks now, and he could tell that the blonde liked him, well he knew that they both liked each other, however neither of them knew how to act on their feelings. Izaya sighed as he inhaled the cold winds of the city, standing on his apartment building rooftop, looking down. Heights never bothered Izaya, hell, they influenced his god complex, so he enjoyed being up there more than what would be considered normal. Izaya smiled to himself as he closed his eyes, letting his thoughts travel between different topics, mostly revolving around Shizuo. His bond with Shizuo, had gotten stronger every day, but he just wondered when would be the right time to fess up.. He desperately wanted to be much more with him, but he wasn't sure if Shizuo wanted the same thing. Knowing Shizuo most likely did, he thought about the only thing holding Shizuo back. Tsukishima. Izaya knew that if he became a father figure to Tsukishima, then he would really have to put a lot of effort into it, because it sounded like Tsukishima was still upset about his current dad, from what Shizuo had told him. Opening his eyes again, Izaya stepped away from the roof's edge, making his way down to ground level, deciding to go visit Shizuo himself. The blonde was working today, but he knew he would always make time for him. Izaya would treat Shizuo out to lunch like always, and then he would finally ask if Shizuo wanted to go on a date.. It was nerve wracking, but Izaya didn't want to wait any longer.
Finally finding the blonde roaming around with Tom, he grinned, skipping up behind Shizuo, spooking him. The blonde flinched, gasping softly as he turned around to try glaring at Izaya, an irritated blush adoring his face. Izaya chuckled, hugging Shizuo with a smile.
"I missed you Shizu-Chan.." Izaya smiled. Shizuo blushed shyly, trying to glance away.
"M-missed you too Flea.." Shizuo murmured shyly. Izaya chuckled, deciding to step it up a bit, letting go of him and instead, grabbing Shizuo's hand as they walked. Shizuo blushed and gasped out in shock, trying to pull his twined fingers apart from Izaya, however Izaya held onto his hand all the more tightly, chuckling lightly. Shizuo kept his head down as he blushed, walking beside the raven. Tom had noticed, however he only chuckled, barely arguing with what they had going on. As the approached one of the stops, Izaya reluctantly let go of Shizuo's hand, smiling to himself as Shizuo strode up to the door, a new found confidence in his step. Easily collecting their pay, Shizuo and Tom made way to a few more stops before Shizuo was let off for lunch. Izaya smiled, joining him at the hip again, twining their fingers once again. As Shizuo and Izaya set off to dine out, Izaya made small talk with the blonde, getting even more anxious about tonight. He had it planned out too. He would take Shizuo up to the top of his apartment building, a blanket, and some pillows with him, and there, he would lay with the blonde and watch the stars, finally confessing to him. Izaya could only hope that Shizuo would accept his invitation this time. He didn't want to be rejected again. He knew that the first time, it was important because of Tsukishima, but Izaya was getting impatient and he couldn't hold it in anymore. Lunch had gone by rather fast, Izaya a little upset about it, however he didn't care all too much. Deciding to hang after even after lunch, Izaya smiled over at Shizuo, who blushed, looking away shyly. Chuckling, Izaya decided to let him be until he got off work.
The rest of the day was rather slow, not that Izaya minded, it just meant more time with Shizuo. Izaya had seemed to notice that Shizuo had grown a little anxious as the job went, noticing how a few pedestrians were mumbling, whispering, or even pointing at Shizuo as he walked by. Izaya frowned. He didn't like the fact that people were treating him like that. But then, Izaya smirked cruelly to himself. That's because their humans. Shizu-Chan is special.. Izaya chuckled darkly, smirking coldly at a few people, them, shrinking back. Izaya was quite pleased with the predicted outcome. If his lovely humans didn't come to respect his monster, than there would be a problem. His humans knew Shizuo was different, but did they really have to point it out in an obvious way? Izaya then frowned, guilt suddenly weighing in like a wave. He was also the cause for bringing out Shizuo's strength to the public eye.. If only he had left him alone back in Highschool before Shizuo had dropped out.. Izaya found himself staring at the ground in despair and guilt, however it only intensified when Shizuo glanced back at him to make sure he was alright.
"You okay Flea?.." Shizuo's quiet and concerning voice lifted Izaya out of the shadows. Smiling back at him, Izaya nodded reassuringly.
"Yup! Just got lost in my thoughts!" Izaya sang with a smile, making Shizuo roll his eyes.
"Whatever.. Anyways, we got two more stops than I'm done.." Shizuo murmured, seeming to blush a little bit. Izaya chuckled and nodded, stretching out his arms and folding them behind his head.
"Kay'.." Izaya sighed, relaxing a bit as they continued walking down the street, looking forward to the evening, only hoping Shizuo would accept the invitation. As time seemed to drag on even more, Izaya found himself growing impatient, only wanting to confess, however he wanted to do it romantically.. If that was possible for him.. He'd figure it out when it came to it. As Shizuo finished up rather quickly, he waved Tom off and turned to Izaya, smiling faintly.
"So.. What now? I'm done working," Shizuo murmured. Izaya smiled, taking a deep breath before he glanced up at the blonde, cheeks flushed pink, keeping his eyes locked with hazel ones.
"W-Will.. Yougooutwithmetonight?.." Izaya asked in a fast stutter, as if he was a highschool girl asking out her crush. Shizuo blushed brightly, shifting from foot to foot shyly. Izaya peeked up after he had hid his blushing mess. Izaya Orihara does not blush.. Not that he would admit it.. ever..
"U-uhm.. W-well.. I can drop Tsukishima off a-at Shinra's beforehand.. S-so.. Y-yeah.." Shizuo murmured in a quiet stutter, blushing madly. Izaya wanted to do back flips off the city walls. Looking up, he grinned, waltzing over and hugging the blonde happily.
"Yay! I'll come get you at 7:30 tonight, Kay'?" Izaya asked smiling widely. Shizuo blushed and nodded shyly.
"O-okay.." Shizuo agreed adorably. Izaya wanted to squeal.
"I'll see ya tonight Shizu-Chan!" Izaya grinned, waving to Shizuo as they went their separate ways. As Izaya skipped home happily, he couldn't help but chuckle and giggle to himself happily, feeling as if he was on cloud nine. Once Izaya reached his apartment, he began making the preparations for the night. Since they would be outside and it would be getting colder as the days went, Izaya made sure to grab several of blankets, and one sleeping bag. Yes, the great Izaya Orihara could be cleverly sweet, despite his psychotic mindset. As Izaya went up to the roof, he placed everything by the door, planning to set up just before dusk. Izaya also made sure to wear warm clothing, deciding to call Shizuo and tell him to wear warm clothing as well. As Izaya hauled everything the elevator, he checked the time, smiling when he saw that it was 6:30. He'd go pick up Shizuo in an hour, but he knew the ride there would take a little time so he would leave early after setting up. Since it wasn't as windy that evening, Izaya was glad, knowing the blankets wouldn't fly all over the place. Izaya had also brought lots of pillows with him so that it would be comfy to lay back and watch the stars with Shizuo. Izaya even brought candles. Oh yes. Strawberry scented ones. Oh, wasn't he getting carried away at that point? Probably. If he was smart, he wouldn't have gone that far into preparations to prevent being thrown over the side of the building. But, since Shizuo and him have started to hang out more, it would be more like, Shizuo would jump off himself because he wouldn't be able to handle his emotions. Izaya chuckled to himself as all the crazy, humorous thoughts ran through his head. Setting up the blankets, Izaya headed back to ground level, making his way over to the subway to take it to Ikebukuro to pick up Shizuo. He didn't trust Shizuo walking to his apartment by himself as night drew in, knowing that someone dangerous almost always lurked in the alleys. Izaya wouldn't stop blaming himself if that happened. As Izaya stepped out of the train car, he walked back up to the surface, making it to Shizuo's apartment rather quickly, knowing the route like the back of his hand. As Izaya reached the blonde's apartment building, Izaya knocked on Shizuo's door, rather nervously.
A muffled 'Coming!' alerted Izaya that Shizuo was about to open the door to their future with him. Izaya smiled at the thought. A second later, Shizuo opened the door, blushing faintly at the sight of Izaya, dressed in cozy black sweat pants and long sleeved black shirt. Shizuo however, was wearing dark gray sweat pants, and a light gray hoodie. Izaya smiled at Shizuo, outstretching his hand for the blonde to take. Shyly, Shizuo grabbed the other's hand holding onto it tightly. Izaya chuckled, leading the way.
"Are you excited? I am~" Izaya grinned. Shizuo chuckled nervously.
"I just hope you don't plan on killing me.." Shizuo chuckled jokingly. Izaya laughed lightly, squeezing his hand lightly.
"Of course not," Izaya smiled, Shizuo blushing.
"How far is your place?" Shizuo asked suddenly. Izaya smiled.
"It's in Shinjuku, but not too far. It'll be about a 25 minute ride on the subway there," Izaya informed. Shizuo nodded, however he seemed a little queasy. Izaya frowned in concern. "What's wrong?.." Izaya asked quietly. Shizuo glanced away, eyes glazed over a bit.
"I don't like the subway.. Too many bad memories.." Shizuo murmured. Izaya's eyes pooled with concern and sympathy. Nodding, Izaya squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"That's fine, we can take the ground train. It might be a little faster that way too," Izaya reassured, Shizuo smiling faintly. Turns out, it actually was faster. As Izaya led the way to his apartment, Shizuo glanced around curiously, Izaya smiling. Seeing as how, just a few stars were starting to peak into the bleak darkness of the night, Izaya smiled, knowing everything was working out perfectly. As Izaya reached his apartment, he led Shizuo away from his door, leading him to the roof. Shizuo was confused but followed anyways. By the time they both had reached the roof, hundreds, if not thousands of stars, were twinkling effortlessly above them. A candle light path led to the patch of blankets and pillows Izaya had set up. Shizuo blushed brightly, stars reflecting in his hazel eyes. Smiling Izaya took Shizuo's hand in his, pulling him over to the blankets. Both of them took off their shoes before they started getting comfortable in the blankets. Opening up the sleeping bag, Izaya looked at Shizuo, grinning.
"You in first," Izaya smiled. Shizuo blushed brightly, realizing they were gonna be sharing the sleeping bag. Settling himself into it, he smoothly wrapped an arm around Shizuo, pulling him close, Shizuo seemingly to naturally, lay his head on Izaya's chest, making the raven smile. Both of them were quiet for a moment, both, too lost in the stars mixture of beauty to even speak in the moment. Izaya smiled looking down at Shizuo, wonder and curiosity glazing his hazel eyes, making them reflect with an unknown glint of amazement, Izaya had never seen before. Izaya then sighed happily.
"Isn't this nice?.." Izaya asked in a quiet, gentle tone. Shizuo nodded a faint smile on his face.
"Yea.. It isn't often that this gets to happen.." Shizuo murmured, trying to keep the conversation light and meaningful, without being an awkward dork about it. Izaya smiled, pulling him closer, resting his head on top of the blonde's.
"I wish we could've done this in the past.. I really regret bothering you like I did in the past.." Izaya whispered, gazing at the stars sadly. Shizuo smiled faintly, cuddling into his chest.
"It's fine.. It.. It kinda told me that someone else other than Shinra actually cared about me.. You weren't scared of me, so it kinda didn't bother me.." Shizuo responded in a quiet, hushed tone.
"But it's not fine, because look at all the trouble it's caused you now.." Izaya sighed guiltily. Shizuo chuckled lightly, his arm moving to wrap around Izaya's waist, cuddling into him affectionately.
"It's fine Izaya.. It's done and over with, things are better now.. Don't stress over it.." Shizuo smiled glancing up at him. Izaya smiled back at him, making a move, his head moving back a bit as Izaya kissed the top of his head.
"You really are adorable, Shizu-Chan.. I don't know how I held off this long.." Izaya smiled affectionately, Shizuo blushing brightly, hiding his face into his chest. Chuckling, Izaya shifted so that he was on his side, looking down at Shizuo. Shizuo looked up at him, hazel eyes twinkling with happiness, cheeks flushed pink, and lips pulled into a precious smile. Everything about Shizuo was strikingly beautiful. Izaya smiled, leaning closer slightly, his own lips just inches away from Shizuo's.
"Shizuo.." Izaya murmured his auburn orbs locked with hazel.
"Y-yeah?.." Shizuo asked quietly, blushing brightly.
"I love you so much.." Izaya whispered, leaning in, his lips pressing against feathery soft ones. His eyes slipped shut, hesitantly moving against Shizuo's. It didn't take long before Shizuo started moving with him, smiling into the kiss. Izaya's hand came up to cup Shizuo's cheek. As Izaya leaned in closer, deepening the kiss, Izaya felt the sparks to his kindling fire with Shizuo burst in his heart. He and Shizuo were meant to be. Smiling as Izaya pulled away for air, Shizuo stared up at him, star-struck, eyes hazy with amazement.
"I-.. I-.. L-love y-you t-too.." Shizuo whispered quietly, eyes pooled over with affection, honesty, and happiness. It truly was an amazing thing to see in Shizuo's eyes that were the most beautiful shades of Hazel. Izaya smiled in response, diving in for another quick kiss, Shizuo blushing madly, but accepting it. As Izaya settled back beside Shizuo, he pulled him even closer, holding him as they continued to watch the stars.
"Mm.. Shizu-Chan?.." Izaya suddenly asked quietly.
"Hm?.." Shizuo hummed.
"Does Tsukishima know about me?.." Izaya asked quietly. Shizuo grew a little rigid in Izaya's hold, making the raven frown.
"He knows that I talk about you a lot, but he doesn't know who you are.." Shizuo admitted with a blush. Chuckling, Izaya cuddled into the blonde, kissing the top of his head again.
"Mm.. Can I meet Tsukishima?"
