Chapter 9.2: the second to last

"Ne Shizuo.. hold still for a second okay…?" Izaya mumbled, leaning forward even more.

"I… just want to try something.."

And then it happened.

Shizuo was just thinking about what the hell Izaya thought he was doing, because it just couldn´t be what it looked like-

But no mistake. It was indeed what he had thought he would do.

Suddenly there were lips connecting with Shizuo´s.

Izaya didn´t remember when exactly he had closed his eyes, but now that he realized he had, he was glad he did.

He was about sure, that if he saw Shizuo´s surprised face he would slap him, or something instead of kissing him, and scram immediately.

But this way- it really wasn´t… too bad.

The opposite actually.

Softly, he moved his lips against the blond´s. His tongue swiped out all by its own and licked Shizuo´s lower lip. He wasn´t just going to do this like some teenage girl, if he was going to try this then it had to be the real deal.

He wanted to feel this sensation again. This weird sensation that kind of made his stomach churn in a pleasant way when Shizuo had kissed him outside. He wanted to repeat it to find out just why he was so … captivated by it.

Shizuo got told not to move, but he just could not, not open his mouth for the tongue that begged for entrance.

Greedily he parted his lips, welcoming the warm muscle and traces along it with his own tongue.

Otherwise he didn´t dare to move.

He had kissed the raven twice. Well by now thrice if this counted.

While he was just kinda testing things with the first kiss, he did have other intentions with the second one. Sure Izaya was kinda freaking out, but still. He was not only kissing him to calm him down as he had claimed.

Because it just felt really great. That sudden affection he had for the raven confused the shit out of him. But if it felt that good to be confused then he didn´t mind growing even more diffused.

So he kept staying still- because he was pretty sure the moment he moved or said anything Izaya would retreat instantly.

Softly he felt the lips against his own and that soft tongue inside his mouth, gently gliding alongside his own.

It was really hard not to move anything apart from his tongue though. The raven was basically just a few millimeters in front of him. And to be honest, he didn´t only want to kiss the raven anymore.

He found himself oddly craving for touch. He wanted to wrap his arms around the raven and pull him close.

Little did he know that Izaya probably wouldn´t have minded it too much if he had wrapped his arms around the raven during this soft kiss.

Because actually, he found himself enjoying this even more than he thought he would. Even more than he enjoyed the kiss on the streets.

And it was confusing as fuck.

What did that demon say?

They were destined to be together and that special bond between them hurried up their falling in love…?

Basically…?

He had to admit he was inclined to believe this demon just for once a little bit. Because he just couldn´t explain this sudden and very fast growing…. affection..?

Would he really have fallen in love with that brute after some large amount of time…?

He couldn´t really imagine it.

What reason would Shizuo have to forget his hatred?

It wasn´t like that protozoan would halt one day and suddenly say in the middle of their chase that he was going to forgive him.

No way.

Even though- Shizuo was certainly pretty unpredictable. Maybe he would have even done that some day.

But what reason would he himself have to give up this endless entertaining chase?

Just ... for this?

This kind of feeling?

It was hard to believe but…

When he remembered that scenery… that nightmare where that woman showed him how she killed Shizuo..

Something hurt.

Something seriously hurt at the sight.

He had always threathened to kill Shizuo one day. One way or the other. Through gangs or assassins or even himself, etc-

But now that he actually thought about it- … just since when had he stopped thinking about Shizuo´s actual death?

In this game, this game of Shizuo, he was so busy enjoying himself while playing, he forgot what it meant to win.

The game.. would be over.

Wouldn´t it?

And then?

What then?

He paused, his movements stilling for a bit and for once he opened his eyes.

Brown dark iris' were looking straight back at him, but he didn´t tear his stare away.

If… if this game was over-

He moved his tongue again, head tilted a bit, this time kissing the blond deeper. Shizuo´s eyebrows flinched and then he kissed back, more- suddenly hands found their way on Izaya´s hips.

… wouldn´t…

"Shizuo-" Izaya mumbled, retreating his tongue just for a second to utter his name, before kissing him again, deeply.

… wouldn´t it be possible for this to exist..?

"Kiss me a-"

*BRRRRRRR*

Startled Izaya stopped talking when a loud noise interrupted them. He quickly retreated from the kiss, shuffling on his own side of the bed and Shizuo turned around, looking at his nightstand with a pretty deep frown.

It was Shizuo´s phone that was causing the loud noise.

Its vibrating because of an incoming call and therefore rattling along the nightstand was the source of the noise.

"You should pick up." Izaya mumbled quickly with tight lips- because Shizuo seemed about to say something that pretty much opposed what Izaya just said.

With a sigh Shizuo picked up the phone.

"Yeah?" he answered, while Izaya- was basically going insane.

What. the. Hell. Did. He. Do?!

The blond blinked at a certain doctor´s rambling voice that instantly filled his ears.

"Shinra? What do you want?"

While Izaya, just couldn´t believe what he had been about to do.

Where the hell did those thoughts come from?!

He frowned and threw himself back on the bed, turning his back to the blond.

He couldn´t believe what he just did. He voluntarily kissed that brute and even enjoyed it-

"Shinra it´s day. Of course he is not there."

He couldn´t believe what he had been about to say-

Sure this game might really just end sometime, and sure maybe he really didn´t want that, but still!

This was Shizuo!

Groaning he hid his face in the bed.

Tired. He must be really really tired.

"He said in a few days, right?"

What was Shizuo even talking about with Shinra?

"Shinra, calm down-"

Ah-

Celty.

Most probably. The words "Shinra" and "calm down" just don´t mix if Celty isn´t involved.

And then the line was cut.

-by Shizuo, he just hang up on the doctor it seemed.

"That annoying doctor." Shizuo commented, putting his phone away.

"What did he want?" Izaya asked, not really interested in it, but he had to say something that would distract the blond from what he just did.

Even if it were just a few more seconds for him to come up with an explanation or excuse.

"He just wanted to know why Celty didn´t wake up yet and if that Akem manah guy is still around. Told him that he isn´t of course, then hung up because he was getting annoying." Shizuo explained quickly, still staring at the raven though.

"I see.." Izaya mumbled, staring right back. As if he was hoping to find the answer in Shizuo´s eyes.

"So what was that about?"

The all so dreadful anticipated question. There it was.

"You said ´kiss me´ before-" Shizuo mumbled.

And of course Shizuo had neither not heard it or forgotten in that short amount of time-

"Yeah, you didn´t let me finish." Izaya mumbled quickly, looking away with a frown. "I wanted to say, Shizuo, kiss me anytime again and I will kill you." Izaya smoothed over. Secretly cheering how he came up with that smart line.

No way was he going to say what he was about to say.

There was just no way he was actually going to say- …

No.

"Because I just realized how disgusting you really are. So do it ever again and I will cut off that tongue, got it?" he added further, feeling victorious when the expression on Shizuo´s face grew more and more annoyed.

Yeah, annoyed Shizuo, that was the best kind of protozoan anyway, ne?

A grin flashed over his face and Shizuo glared at the raven irritated.

"Oh don´t worry- I won´t be kissing you anytime soon you disgusting flea." He spat back.

Ahhaaa…

And there it went, the chance of Shizuo ever kissing him again like that.

Not that Izaya wanted to.

No no no.

This whole demon stuff was just messing with him by now, that´s all.

A sudden creak of the bed was to be heard and Izaya´s head tilted up to see the blond move to the door again.

For just fractures of a second Izaya´s mouth opened. Opened to say something that he certainly didn´t want to say now.

Even though he wanted to, but his pride didn´t allow it.

Just no.

He was scared shitless. He really was.

But he wasn´t going to ask Shizuo to stay in this room.

Not now.

Not after he practically told him that he was disgusting and he didn´t want to have him anywhere near.

Not that he was considering his feelings or anything no, he just didn´t want to have the blond around.

Event though he wanted to-

Frustrated he let himself slump back into the bed when the door closed with a rather loud slam. Maybe Shizuo was right. Maybe he should just sleep.

Yeah. He had been staying up all night again after all.

Maybe when he woke up these thoughts would finally stop.

He rolled over and pulled the blanket over his head.

Maybe.

He hoped they would. Because he really couldn´t make sense of these weird feelings anymore.

-5pm. Shizuo´s point of view.-

Irritated Shizuo looked at the piece fo paper in his hands.

Seriously- this seal or whatever the heck it was supposed to be was too damn hard to draw. And it got harder by each night. So many little details- and it wasn´t exactly as if Shizuo had ever been good at drawing. Rather the opposite.

Pencils and him…. Well, didn´t work to well.

And the chalk sticks that the demon had given him had ended up being broken out of frustration once or twice already, before he realized that they would pretty much still need them.

With a sigh he finished the second to last part of the part of the seal that they had to draw tonight.

It was actually already dark outside.

Since about 10 minutes the sun had set, and Akem manah was sitting there on his couch, watching him pretty amused while Shizuo was drawing he had noticed.

And Izaya?

Well he was still in his room.

Not sleeping anymore, no way. But Shizuo guessed that that damned flea just didn´t want to see his "disgusting" self.

A wave of anger surging inside his body he pressed with the chalk a tad too hard onto the floor, sending the other half of it across the room.

Exhaling deeply, in an attempt to calm down again he stood up and walked over, getting the thing again.

Seriously.

Izaya annoyed him.

No.

He pissed him off.

Even more so than he did in their usual chases.

He just didn´t understand that flea anymore.

First he would cling to him say he had to be careful to not die. Then he even kissed him voluntarily- and now that?

Seriously, he would be surprised if the flea himself even knew what he was doing anymore.

Freaking annoying!

"Angry?" a voice was suddenly to be heard as the chalk thing took yet again a little flying lesson through the room.

Irritated Shizuo looked at the demon that was sitting there, grinning as if he was watching the most amusing scene.

"Just so you know, your talk about the bond was bullshit." He spat while walking over to grab the chalk thing once more.

"Oh? You were that inclined to believe me and now that? How come?" Akem manah asked, more amused though then surprised as the blond noted.

"Izaya hates my guts, just so you know. I don´t know what you did with me, because I´m seriously messed up right now, but whatever it was, it didn´t work on Izaya." He stated, finally drawing the last line of the circle´s part for today.

If he weren´t still so furious at the raven he sure would have asked him to help draw that shitty seal, but with things this way? No way.

He was too pissed to ask that raven for anything.

"Oh, but it did work, believe me." Akem manah chuckled in a low voice. His skeleton jaw clattered with each move.

Seriously, sometimes Shizuo did think that that demon was kinda disgusting.

He was a walking skeleton for fucks sake.

"If you mean a bond of hatred, then yeah, that sure did work. But we had that before, so that would be nothing new." Shizuo just threw in, getting up from the floor and walked over to Izaya´s door.

At least what regarded his part of the conversation the talk was over. He didn't really want to speak to that demon anymore today.

Irritated he opened his bedroom´s door.

He wasn´t really keen on talking to the flea again either, but…

It was dark.

And as much as he would have loved to forget all these bullshit feelings for a second, he was still very worried over that damned flea.

Just as he expected, Izaya was sitting there on top of the bed, handling his laptop.

Dark circles were to be seen beneath his eyes and for a brief moment Shizuo wondered if the raven had even slept at all.

"Oi, it´s night." Shizuo mumbled, leaning against the doorframe, avoiding to even look at the raven.

He was still very much pissed at him for doing what he did earlier. He was just messing with him after all, wasn´t he?

"I know." Was the short answer he received from the flea and he continued to let his hands swipe fast over his keyboard.

Clicking sounds were filling the room and Shizuo was just slightly curious what Izaya was doing, that would distract him so much from the fact that that damned woman would be appearing soon again and try to kill him.

He tilted his head a bit, only to see a plan of Ikebukuro and an outlined route on it.

Suddenly the laptop got closed with a click and red, tired eyes were staring back at him.

"You should put some clothes on, we are going outside." He mumbled without looking at the blond for too long as he got up from the bed.

"Outside?" Shizuo asked frowning. It was dark.

And that demon would come any second and he wanted to go outside?

"Don´t tell me you don´t know what the word means, Shizu-chan. Even a protozoan as stupid as you should be able to understand what I said." Izaya just replied snarkily, but the usual grin he would wear when taunting Shizuo was just missing.

The blond ignored what Izaya said and went to the front entrance, putting on some shoes and a coat.

He had no idea what the raven was planning to do. But considering he was that calm even thought that woman would appear any second, he sure hoped he had found some amazing strategy to get away from her.

He didn´t have any intention to ask him again what he was thinking he was doing again though.

As responsive as the flea was he would just get shitty remarks as an answer anyway.

And so they went out of Shizuo´s apartment.

And Akmen manah disappeared again into the shadows.

No word was spoken, but it was obvious that Izaya was still pretty tense even though it seemed he had found some clue how to avoid the woman.

He kept swiping his head around from alley to alley, donw the streets, and sometimes even craned his neck backwards to look if they were being followed.

Not that Shizuo didn´t do about the same. But he just noticed that the flea did as well.

It was 20 minutes after the sun had set when they reach an underground station and Shizuo almost thought he saw the raven do something akin to a relieved sigh.

Without another word he stepped into the underground train and leaned against one of the yellow rods in there.

By the time the train started to move Shizuo was just too curious to not ask anymore what the flea thought he was doing.

"Care to tell me why we are riding around with an underground train now? I don´t think she will not find us if we drive to another part of the city." Shizuo asked, hoping to get something different from an insult as reply.

Izaya just shrugged and rubbed at his eyes sleepily.

He really hadn´t slept at all the whole afternoon.

How could he?

Everytime he closed his eyes that woman would appear before his eyes or even worse- the things she showed him.

And he would love to deny that he did in fact dream about Shizuo for just a few seconds in that 10 minutes lasting sleep.

"We aren´t going to get off the train Shizu-chan." He started. Sighing he let himself slump into one of the red plastic seats.

"That woman wasn´t able to follow us quickly when we were running away, right?" he asked, causing Shizuo to nod.

Of course he remembered it. She was coming closer but not catching up, even thought she was definitely chasing them with all her might.

"That´s why-" Izaya continued, pointing inside the train, "I think she can´t chase us in here. She is a demon, a form from another world. She shouldn´t be able to touch things here. So my theory is that she won´t be able to touch the underground train either. She can´t ride with us in here, therefore, she won´t be able to get us." Izaya concluded.

Basically like a ghost, Shizuo found himself thinking, and looked around.

So basically, instead of running, they were riding away now?

He had to admit it did sound as if it could work.

The blond stepped forward, taking a seat next to the flea.

"Heh, you came up with something smart there." He mumbled, leaing back on the seat and looked out of the window.

The underground train had driven up on the surface and they could now see all the illuminated street signs and cars from the lively city.

"I always come up with smart things Shizu-chan." Izaya retorted, rubbing at his eyes once more.

Shizuo watched the raven.

"You didn´t sleep at all did you?" the question wasn´t even a question. It was more of a statement because it was pretty obvious that the raven had in fact not slept.

A nonchalant shrug followed from Izaya and he leaned his head on the window.

"Just one more night, right? I can manage to stay up that long." he announced causing Shizuo to frown just a little bit.

Sure, he was still pissed at the flea for saying and doing what he did earlier, but he still cared about the damn louse.

"You will sleep when we are home again." he ordered, in a voice that didn´t leave any room for complaint and looked at his watch.

30 minutes had passed since the sun set.

Shizuo was already prepared to receive a complaint about his order. So it was even more surprising when nothing came from the raven in response.

He turned his head to look back at the raven, only to notice how his eyes had went wide with fear.

"Shizu-chan- there is no one outside." He barely heard the flea say in a low whisper.

And really.

The underground train was still on the surface for a few seconds.

But the lights of the cars had disappeared.

Or better, there were no cars anymore.

There were no people anymore walking around.

Only the illuminated street signs were still glowing.

But the city- was empty.

Black invaded their sight again when the underground train drove into the ground once more.

A short glance at Izaya was enough for Shizuo to see just how scared the flea was now again.

Without a second thought he reached out his hand and let it slide over Izaya´s, cold, shaking one on the seat.

A flinch was what he received from the flea and he turned around with eyes wide.

"Hey, she won´t get you. You just said so right? She can´t come in here." Shizuo tried to cam the rven but it didn´t really cause Izaya to stop trembling.

"Yeah…" he mumbled quiet, his eyes still looking outside into the dark, trying to catch a glimpse of anything.

And then suddenly the train came to a halt with an ear throbbing screetch.

But there was no train station.

Shizuo couldn´t even follow izaya´s movements, so fast he had jumped up from his seat and stepped into the middle of the train, eyes darting around anxious.

There was no train station.

They were just under the surface.

"Shizuo why isn´t this shitty thing moving?!" Izaya asked, almost yelled, obviously terrified.

But Shizuo had no answer to that question. Sure, the train could have stopped because of an engine damage or something. But to be honest, even though he would have loved to believe that, he had a really bad gut feeling that this train had not stopped because of earthly reasons.

"Hello Izaya-kun~"

And then eyes snapped towards the end of the carriage.

There she was.

Kuntilanak.

Shizuo unfroze from his sitting position and watned to get up to get to Izaya, but he the second he tried to move he noticed- that he simply couldn´t.

With dread he had to realize that the black shadows that had gotten ahold of Izaya the day before where now holding him in place on the seat.

"Izaya, run-!" Shizuo screamed.

They were underground yes, there was no train station, yes, but there sure as hell was an exit door for emergencies-

"Run-!" And with that the raven finally turned around and stormed to the exit door.

But the woman was just grinning.

Izaya kept fighting with the door handle.

Pushing, pulling, pressing all kinds of places, but the door just wouldn´t open-!

"Izaya-!" Shizuo yelled once more, tryng to tear himself away from the shadows, but they just continued staying there as he watched the woman slowly approach the raven.

"It won´t open-! It won´t-" his breath got caught when he saw the woman approach him with a grin.

"How nice of you to trap yourself in here for me, Izaya-kun~" she laughed, her jaw suddenly widening revealing those dozens of sharp teeth.

Izaya´s face paled considerably at the sight and the frightened tremeble shook his body violently as he pressed himself against the closed door in a childish attempt to make himself tiny.

Only now Shizuo remembered, that Izaya never actually saw the woman this way.

"Izaya-!" he had no idea what he was even yelling for, because the raven could not escape no matter how you looked at it-

"Izaya-!" Violently Shizuo tugged at the shadows until they finally made a ripping sound.

No way- no was he was sitting here and watch that woman tear Izaya up-!

"Izaya-!" with one last pull at the persistant shadows Shizuo managed to get free- and dashed over to Izaya´s side-

He didn´t even flinch when he stormed right past the woman.

His thoughts were only fixed on Izaya and to get between those two.

Within a second he was standing protectively in front of the raven, staring right into the evil woman´s empty sockets.

"Shizuo-" a quiet shaky whisper was to be heard, and Shizuo felt the raven lean against his body.

Hiding his face in his back.

He could feel his body tremble.

No.

He wouldn´t let that woman kill Izaya. Only over his dead corpse.

And then it all went really fast.

The woman laughed one last time and Shizuo felt Izaya cling to his body, before suddenly- he moved.

Izaya moved, and Izaya moved in front of Shizuo, shaking, trembling, his eyes closed, but he moved in front of Shizuo.

The blond couldn´t even react in time-

The woman was already right on front of them, her jaw wide, her sharp teeth almost grazing Izaya-

"IZAYA-!"

And then there was just nothing.

For a second Shizuo thought he was dreaming, because the raven was still standing there, in front of him, and the woman as still standing there, her teeth showing, right in front of them, but nobody moved.

It was as if time stood still.

But time wasn´t standing still.

Because Shizuo could see Izaya shaking.

He could see how he had his eyes squeezed shut and how his lids trembled in fear of seeing what was coming.

It was the demon that had just stopped moving-

No.

She didn´t stop.

She couldn´t go any further.

Confused Shizuo watched as the demon closed her jaw once more, an expression crossing her face that looked just as confused as Shizuo´s.

And then she screamed- screamed so loud the windows of the train shattered.

Shizuo as well as Izaya, flinched at the loud noise and quickly covered their ears with their hands.

And then.

She was gone.

His own hands now shaking a bit as he moved them down and looked around.

The underground train was a wreck.

But the woman was gone.

She was really gone.

"She is gone…" suddenly he heard a quiet mumble. It was Izaya who had said the words as he slowly let himself sink to the floor.

Shizuo was about to say something when suddenly the train started moving again, making him almost fall down.

The underground train was moving again.

With shakey legs Izaya got up from his sitting position and walked towards the doors.

Within, what seemed like only seconds the train surfaced again.

The streets were lively, and they reached the next train station.

Ikebukuro. Ikebukuro.

The speakers announced and with wobbly feet Izaya stepped out of the carriage, Shizuo following right behind him.

There were people. Lot´s of people.

Just like there should be.

".. why..?" only now Shizuo found his words again. the woman had been about to devour them, so why-

"What… what happened?" Izaya managed to ask as well. The woman had barely been there for more than 10 minutes. How come she was gone already?

Shizuo looked around, watching all the people that were busily walking through the streets. Having no clue of what just happened.

"I don't know…" was the only thing he got out, when suddenly a chuckle was heard next to them and an all to well known demon was standing there, wearing a grin.

"Surprised you survived? Well, to be honest I am too." he laughed only confusing the two more.

"What do you mean?" Izaya asked, his voice still trembling slightly.

"The bond is finally formed." Akem manah suddenly stated with a grin and moved over to Shizuo. "I dunno how you did it, but you did it."

"Wait, what?" Izaya threw in, confused by what the demon had said.

"What do you mean, the bond is formed? What bond?" he tried to get an explanation fromt the demon, but he just grinned more.

"Let me guess, before, when that woman was about to devour you, instead of, 'Don't kill me'," he mumbled and laughed for a second, before continuing-

"-you thought, 'Don´t kill him'." And with that, the demon disappeared.

Silence filled the space between the two for a second before Shizuo realized what the demon had actually meant.

If Izaya had actually thought of Shizuo… then wouldn´t that mean-

"Iza-"

"We should head home." Instantly he got cut off by the raven and he started walking off.

No mistake.

The demon had said it.

Izaya hadn´t denied it.

Izaya had in fact moved in front of him.

Didn´t that mean….. that the demon had been right after all? Just as he thought?

But if that was true, then Izaya-

"Izaya-" he called the raven´s name, trying to catch up to his walking speed, but instead of letting him catch up, the raven suddenly accelerated, straight out running away from him. For a second Shizuo just stared at the flea, before his old instincts kicked in and he chased right after the raven.

"Tch- Izaya!" he called, but of course the raven didn´t stop. He just ran.

He literally ran away from him-!

That fucking louse-

What was he even running away from?!

Shizuo dashed after the raven, followed him behind every corner, sped up as fast as he could.

The raven was tired.

He hadn´t slept the slightest bit and he was still shaken because of what happened just now.

Shizuo just knew he would be able to catch the flea this time-

This time for sure.

And so he ran, ran after him, until he noticed that he was getting closer, until he noticed that the raven was starting to get slower.

He turned around a corner, around another, and yet again, a until-

THUD-

He had managed to grab Izaya by the hem of his coat and made them both fall to the floor.

Huffing and breathing heavily Izaya tried to get up again and run away anew because- he just didn´t want to talk to the blond!

He didn´t want to answer the questions that Shizuo was going to ask!

But the second he was standing on his two feet again the blond grabbed his wrist and he found himself being pinned to the wall of a building.

Pissed off he glared at the heavily breathing blond.

But no matter how he tried to move, Shizuo seriously had a strong grip on him.

There was no chance of escaping anymore.

"Did you really think about me before?" Shizuo asked, still panting.

Straight to the point huh? He tightened his fists and looked away, avoiding Shizuo´s glance.

"I don't want to talk about i-"

"Izaya." Shizuo just interrupted the flea. He wanted t get answers for once. Honest answers. The raven had kissed him today. Izaya had said he didn´t want him to die today.

And now this.

"I said, I don't want to talk about it." Izaya repeated once more, but Shizuo was just fed up with this.

"Tch- when will you finally stop pretending?" he asked, but this time he didn´t even want an answer to his question. Instead he leaned forward and captured the raven´s lips with his own.

Surprised Izaya´s eyes widened at the kiss, and he tried to push the blond away, tried to kick him and squirmed.

No!

He hated this! He should hate it!

Izaya frowned and tried shoving that tongue out of his mouth. He was refusing to let himself get washed away by a mere kiss-!

A hiss was heard when Izaya bit down hard on Shizuo´s tongue.

The taste of blood was filling their senses, and Shizuo retreated for a second.

Both men glaring at each other.

"Why did you care about me more?" Shizuo asked once more. The frown still in place.

But Izaya just looked away once more.

"Tell me!" Shizuo demanded, but Izaya just kept being stubborn.

"I don't want to." He responded with a shrug.

"Why?" Shizuo repeated ignoring the answer Izaya had given.

…. No answer from Izaya this time though. Not even a witty remark.

"Oh, come on-" Shizuo frowned, tightening his grip on the raven´s wrists just a little bit.

"Just tell me!" he yelled, and then Izaya snapped.

"I don't know, okay?!" he yelled back at the blond, the glare still in place.

Shizuo looked at the raven, his brows furrowed to a frown.

"Huh?" he asked, but Izaya just looked away, biting on his own lip.

"I just didn't want…" he started to mumble, but faded out quickly. The galring expression faded.

… Shizuo watched the raven. Waiting.

"Didn't want what?" he asked again, still tasting the iron on his tongue.

A moment of silence filled the space between them before the raven finally opened his mouth.

"I didn´t want to win." He mumbled.

His answer made Shizuo blink confused though.

"Win..?" he asked again, not getting what Izaya was talking about.

But Izaya just kept silent, kept looking away, and back again into Shizuo´s eyes, as if he wanted to say more, but just couldn´t.

"Izaya. What did you really want to say before?" Shizuo asked this time.

Right before his stupid phone vibrated on the nightstand, Izaya had been about to say something.

And by now Shizuo didn´t believe anymore he really wanted to tell Shizuo that he was digusting then.

Izaya furrowed his brows, looking away, but he didn´t say anything yet again.

Silence.

"The truth this time please." Shizuo added, still watching the raven rather patiently.

Izaya kept fighting with himself.

He knew what he wanted to say.. but..

He sighed annoyed by his own thoughts.

Aha… fuck it-

"Shizuo.. kiss me again, like you did before- … was what I wanted to say." he answered quickly and looked away again, avoiding the blond´s stare.

"but that´s irrelevant, because-" he didn´t get to say more, because suddenly there was a hand cupping his cheek and tilted his head back towards Shizuo´s face.

His wrist had been let go-

"Shizu-" but he didn´t get to saymore, because suddenly there were lips on his again.

But this time the kiss wasn´t rough like before.

It was gentle.

The other hand let go of Izaya´s second wrist, and wrapped around his body instead, pulling him close.

And Izaya- didn´t mind.

He would be lying if he said he hated this. And he was tired of pretending he hated it.

And so he returned the kiss, softly, letting their tongues brush against each other.

Just standing there, Shizuo in front of him, pressing him softly against the wall, and Izaya wrapping his arms around the blond´s neck.

They kept kissing like this for what felt like ages. Bathing in each other´s warmth. And Izaya, he didn´t only not mind.

He loved it.

He loved every second the blond moved against his body and kept abusing his wet and by now a little swollen lips. Moving that tongue around in a deliciously arousing way-

Just for a second they parted to catch their breath. Izaya stared right back into Shizuo´s eyes. A whisper leaving his lips.

"… I seriously hate you…" he mumbled, kissing the blond once more, making the blond smile for the first time.

"Good, because I think I hate you too."
