Disclaimer: The useh…

Shizuo walked down the streets of Ikebukuro in complete shock. Shortly after he threw Izaya out, he decided that he needed a walk to sort out his thoughts. He couldn't believe what Izaya told him. He couldn't believe that the flea loved him. It was impossible. He hated Izaya, Izaya hated him, that's how it went. They were complete opposites and Shizuo did not believe all that stuff about opposites attracting each other. If Shizuo was to love somebody then that somebody would have to be a strong, caring person like him and not a cold-hearted, little bastard like Izaya. It was impossible for him to love Izaya and it shouldn't be possible for Izaya to love him. If those things were possible then the sky might just as well turn orange.

Stupid flea.

He just loved to mess with his head. Yes that must be it. This was just another one of Izaya's games. Izaya was just playing around; looking for how far he can push Shizuo before he snaps.

Damn flea.

But…

He clearly saw Izaya try to jump from the building, he obviously wasn't faking that and he had no way of knowing that Shizuo was standing right behind him, surprised at what he saw when he went to the roof to smoke a cigarette.

But then again Izaya did have his freakish, fleaish way of knowing everything!

But would Izaya really go to such lengths in his sick game as to kiss Shizuo. Heck the flea even cried, he never saw Izaya cry before. Were does just fake tears, was Izaya just so determent to win this one-sided game he was playing that he completely forgot about any dignity he had and went of to cry and kiss his mortal enemy.

That was taking it a bit far, even for the flea.

Damn that louse, what was going on!

And why was he looking for him!

Shizuo sighed when he realized that he was doing just that. He was looking for Izaya. Mostly because he was afraid that the flea really was suicidal and just like he said to Izaya, he had no interest in getting his dirty blood all over his hands. Sure he threatened to kill the damn louse on daily bases but he never actually meant it. He would be perfectly satisfied if Izaya was to just leave him alone.

But no, Izaya just had to piss him off, every single time he came to Ikebukuro.

Flea was definitely asking for everything he got and Shizuo should not feel sorry for him, because this was just another one of Izaya's stupid, twisted, sick little games.

Yeah, he wasn't fooling anyone, was he?

He definitely felt sorry for the flea. He wasn't sure what, but something told him that it wasn't all just an act. Was it does tear filled eyes or that gentle kiss full of love. He had no idea, but something told him that the flea wasn't lying and that he really was in some kind of trouble, emotional or not. He felt sorry for Izaya. Now that he thought about it, Izaya had actually no one to turn to in time of crisis. His sisters would sell him of for a chance to meet Kasuka, he drifted apart from his parents and had no friends that Shizuo knew off, except maybe Shinra, but Shinra was always way to nosy and laud for emotional situations. Well it's not like he could blame the people for not wanting to be friends with that two faced little troll. But has Izaya really become desperate enough to search comfort from his archenemy?

He still wasn't sure what to think about Izaya's confession, though.

Was that real to or was it an act?

Was the kiss just a way to show Shizuo that he meant no harm?

An apology maybe?

That was stupid, Izaya did not apologize and he quotes; "did not love any individual, for he loved humanity itself." But then again, Izaya did always call him a monster, was that some kind of a sick way to let him know that he was special and to still keep his façade up.

Izaya couldn't love a single human.

Could he love a single monster?

Idiot, idiot, idiot.

Why did that stupid flea always had to make his life so damn hard.

Couldn't he just leave him alone?

Find himself another monster to irritate.

This was Ikebukuro, of all the places in the world; this was where all the monster gathered.

Why him?

Why always him?

Why that flea couldn't just leave him alone, leave everybody alone? And who did he think he was, to go on and apologies after everything he did? He risked lives of people for his own entertainment, he made a monster out of Shizuo and then he comes and asks to be forgiven.

Heck no.

But…

„If I have to live, I want to live here with you. I'll do whatever you want from me, just please don't chase me away."

Shizuo smiled. If the flea wanted to be tamed so much then fine. He is going to tame him. He Shizuo Haiwajima accepts the challenge from Izaya Orihara to tame him. To tame that red eyed demon that haunted the lives of many. If he needs to look the flea up in a room, then fine, he will. Because, Izaya just wants to live there with him, right? He'll do whatever Shizuo says, right?

Shizuo laughed happily for he was going to domesticate the demon that plagued Ikebukuro. He is going to turn Izaya into a house cat if he needs. As long as Izaya does what Shizuo says, Ikebukuro will be safe. Ikebukuro will be safe and Shizuo won't have to bloody his hands.

He had no idea what exactly is he going to do with Izaya, but if this was just a game, he was planning to go all in this time. And if its not…well everybody still wins don't they.

Ikebukuro is safe.

Izaya lives with Shizuo.

And Shizuo knows exactly where Izaya is and what is he doing.

No more surprises.

No more games.

This time it's face to face, directly.

Game on, Izaya.
