By the way I am continuing this story. Someone said that too bad I'm not continuing this and how tha hell can I not? It's just taking me ages to update but since I now realize people are awaiting them I feel like I'm failing yo but I have so much on my plate that I'm choking on it trying to shove every single bit of it into my mouth. If that makes any sense. Anyways, I hope you like return to this story kid! Or Deko-Gasu is what you called yourself. I am writing this 9 hours after you reviewed kid so, this is basically to cheer you up after feeling sad thinking I'm not continuing. You're welcome in advance. Enjoy~! WAIT! Also, I fucked up. Izaya and his brothers are 15, not 16. Shizuo and his brothers are 16. Sorry if anyone got confused.
Midterm exams were coming up and the boys felt more stress than ever before. The Orihara's barely got any sleep due to the crying baby that woke them up constantly. They knew that Psyche had it rough, juggling both school and a baby, so the couldn't blame him. Izaya watched as his brother rock his nephew as he cried, shushing him constantly and whispering sweet words into his ear. Izaya sighed, before continuing his math homework, trying to ignore the constant crying behind him. At first, it was easy. Then Mizuki started to cry louder, and louder. Each minute that passed Mizuki would cry and Izaya felt his patients slipping away ever single moment that he was around the newborn baby and his 'mother'.
"Psyche, didn't you write him a lullaby? Sing it to him for he can calm down, he's probably tired," Izaya suggested, sick of the crying baby and Psyche nodded, knowing that this was a way to tell Psyche to hurry the fuck up.
"A-Alright, I'm sorry Izaya, I'm just really tired and this is so frustrating when I don't know what he wants. I just want to go to sleep Izaya. I can't do this," Psyche said, tears streaming down his face and Izaya stopped writing, watching as his little brother broke down. He didn't like seeing Psyche like this. He looked lost and hurt. Tsugaru told him about Delic abandoning him, and not only did he pity Psyche, but he held this unknown hatred for Delic for making the little raven go through that.
"Izaya, take him. I have to get some air," Psyche said and Izaya nodded, taking the newborn from him and Psyche immediatley left the house. When Izaya rocked Mizuki a few times, he instantly settled down, looking up at Izaya with pale pink eyes.
"Hey cutie, I guess you were just scared because Psyche was stressed. Dad tells him all the time that babies can sense that. You little guys are so magical aren't you? You're like teenie tiny fortune tellers huh Mizuki? You guys are so tiny yet you're so smart! You're so cute!" Izaya cooed, and Mizuki giggled, putting his little fist in his mouth and sucking on it. "Izaya, what the hell are you doing?" Izaya flinched slighty at the pressence he didn't know was there and turned around to see Roppi standing behind him eyebrow cocked while he chewed on the straw of his juice box, awaiting an explaination.
"I-I was just calming him down. Roppi I swear if you tell anyone I'll hurt you," Izaya threatened and Roppi chuckled before throwing his hands up in defence.
"Don't worry, I won't do that to you. Where's Psyche? Dad said he has an appointment for Mizuki to get his shots today," Roppi said, looking around for his little brother and Izaya pointed to the door.
"He left crying again, saying that he needed some air, he was really frustrated. Can you go look for him?" Izaya asked, knowing that Psyche was going through postnatal depression and that they had to watch him closely. He doesn't think that he's fit to be a parent even though he's doing great.
"Alright. I'll go look for him. Go get Mizuki ready for him appointment. Dad will be back in about an hour," Roppi said and Izaya nodded before hesitating. This was his first time actually handling a baby of any age and he was... confused. Should I bathe him? No no no, he might drown on my watch and I don't need that. D-Do I change him? How do you even change a diaper? Do I... dress him? Is it like dressing a doll? No. He's not a doll he's a human being! Ah, Roppi... why'd you give me such a task!?
"Wait Roppi! You can get Mizuki ready. I have no idea... how I'm supposed to do this so, here. I'll look for Psyche," he said, handing Roppi the baby and leaving the house. He sighed in relief, knowing that Roppi was more capable of handling this situation better than him anyways and he wasn't going to take any chances. Izaya started running in the direction that Psyche went, and he easily caught up with the little raven who had stopped at a local convience store.
"Psyche! Wait up!" Izaya said, watching as his brother was standing in front of the store, his hands tucked in his pockets.
"Hm?" Psyche turned around, eyeing Izaya suspiciously, wondering how he even caught up with him.
"Dad is coming to pick you up. We have to go back," he said and Psyche nodded, before walking into the convience store anyways. Izaya stared at his brother in annoyance. Had he not just heard what he said? Sometimes Izaya fears that Psyche ignores him now, that he doesn't need to listen. Izaya waited outside if the convience store for Psyche, hoping whatever he went in there for wouldn't take to long. He watched as Psyche walked to the cashier to purchase what looked like strawberry milk and strawberry cakes and he smiled. That kid really loves strawberries.
"Izaya-nii! Do you want anything?" Psyche called and Izaya shook his head, knowing that he was actually craving a smoke but he wasn't going to tell Psyche to buy him any. He was trying to fight this stupid addiction that he had picked up over time since he and Shizuo started dating. They sometimes would sneak out of class to meet at the roof where they would have a smoke then do whatever they wanted. They normally only smoke pot, but whenever Shizuo has a cigarette, Izaya can't help but want to share it with his boyfriend. It was just something he thought was normal, even though it wasn't. Izaya waited for Psyche, hoping that the little raven didn't take any longer.
"Hey Izaya. What are you doing here?" Izaya turned around to see Shizuo and Tsukishima walking down the sidewalk.
"Ah, I'm just waiting for Psyche," Izaya said. He wouldn't ever admitt this, but when he saw Shizuo, his stomach was immediatley filled with butterflies. He felt as if his stomach were being poked and prodded and his heart was being squeezed. It felt even worse than the time after he had to face him once they first had sex. He couldn't even look Shizuo in the face. Shizuo would constantly ask him if he had a fever and it would just make his blush deepen. He remembers when he had decided to tell him. Well, 'decided'. It was the most embarassing time of his life. Shizuo was the first person he's ever had sex with, so he didn't know how to handle the situation. He got over it eventually, but the first day or so he couldn't quite face Shizuo properly. Now, he can do it without a problem seeing as they've had sex a few times now, but he couldn't help but blush at how flustered he got around his boyfriend sometimes.
"Oh, how is he by the way? Tsugaru said he was having postnatal depression since he had the baby," he said and Izaya nodded.
"He's doing better. He seems happier when he's away from Mizuki. My dad is thinking about having him put Mizuki up for adoption," he said, looking down and Shizuo looked at Izaya sadly.
"Really? Why?" he asked and Izaya sighed before looking down. Psyche has been a little moody. It's gotten to the point where he will just scream at you until he cries and he's storm out of the house constantly. He's already tried to kill himself twice in the last week. Izaya heard Psyche and his mother fighting about the baby, and he realized then that his father hadn't told her about Psyche running away and getting pregnant. His mother was away on a buisness trip for the past year and his dad hadn't told her the 'bad things' that had occurred. When she got home and heard a baby crying, she was confused and furious ad started to not only yell at dad, but at Psyche too.
"Psyche! How could you get pregnant when you buy condoms all the time!? Now not only did you give yourself a responsibility that you can't even handle but you're putting a responsibility of Tsugaru too! You're so careless Psyche when it comes to other's feelings!" she yelled and Psyche flinched, and the loud yelling caused Mizuki to cry.
"Psyche, give me him," Shirou said and Psyche handed his father the baby, watching as he took him out of the room.
"I was careless okay! It just happened so fast and I wasn't on birth control because it doesn't work for boys apparently! You can't blame me for everything mom!" he yelled back and Izaya was shocked by the anger that was in Psyche's eyes. The boy never got angry, so this was a sudden shock to Izaya.
"Well Psyche, you're the one who had unprotected sex! You're the one who ran away without telling anyone where you were headed and worrying your brothers and father with everything and you were the one who didn't get an abortion when you could've!" she yelled and Psyche gritted his teeth in frustration. At that moment, it were almost as if Psyche had changed into a different person. Izaya knew that wasn't the baby brother he had for the past 15 years. He seemsed so... troubled. Angry. Almost... crazy.
"Well I'm sorry I'm not a fucking baby killer unlike you! Yeah, I heard when you told Aunt Kanako about your abortion that you didn't tell dad about just because it was twins! You killed two fucking babies you heartless bitch!" Psyche yelled and Izaya stood there, shocked at his brothers words. He wasn't the only one that was shocked either. Shirou and Roppi were shocked too.
"What?" their father asked, looking at Kyouko who was trembling in rage.
"See, you never even told him. Whose careless about other people's feelings now, mom?" Psyche left, leaving everyone with an eerie silence in it's place. Izaya had never seen Psyche so angry before. It was so unexpected that it was frightening.
"He thinks it'll make Psyche happier."
He was wrong.
"You're not giving away my baby dad!" Psyche yelled, glaring daggers at his father as he held his son protectivly to his chest. Shirou was standing in the living room, holding Mizuki's bags and carseat while Psyche was sitting with his baby, crying. Izaya had just walked through the door holding Shizuo's hand and they were prepared to go to his room when they came home to another argument.
"Psyche, wouldn't you be happier if Mizuki was with someone who can take care of him?" he asked and Psyche looked up at his dad angrilly, before shaking his head frantically.
"No! He's my son! I'm the only one fit to raise him because I'm his mother dad! I gave birth to him! I care for him and no one will love him as much as I do! I don't want to give him up. Please daddy, please don't make me," Psyche started bawling his eyes out in fear of losing his baby, and Shirou ran his fingers though his hair before cursing and putting Mizuki's stuff down.
"Alright Psyche I'm sorry. I thought you were always happy when he wasn't around. I guess I was wrong. Calm down, he's not going anywhere," he said and Psyche wiped his eyes before shaking his head.
"I'm happy to be a mom. I thought that... I was a bad mom but Roppi told me I was doing great and that Mizuki couldn't have a better mother. I want to give Mizuki a great life and to no feel like his mother abandoned him like his dad did. He needs me, and I need him. I promise I'll be the best mommy that Mizuki could as for."
And the end. I will be updating The Way To Love and More Than Just A Three Way Thursday hopefully. I took exactly a month to update. I'm sorry guys. I'm failing school and I'm trying to do better. ANYWAYS I HOPE YOU ENJOYED! BYE!
