Medicine

Izaya danced over the tops of building like he had always done but the vampire blood just made it…addictive. Izaya couldn't get enough of the air rushing through his hair, burning his eyes. He needed more of it. It was so much fun. He flew through the air like a trapeze artist, landing on the ground with his knees bent. He didn't even feel the impact. He looked around him with wide eyes, wondering where Kida had gotten to before he realised that he really didn't care! He spun down an alley and onto a main street. He could hear people chatting and found himself in front of Shizuo's bar.

It was a lot slower paced than the club that he had just been in. Humans and Vampires walked in and out of the door, some looked his way in interest as he sped past them and into the bar. He slowed himself down to a crawl as he entered. Walking as if in slow motion. His human's turned to look at him as he entered. He smirked.

Erika was working behind the bar again with another dark haired girl that was much smaller than she was. Izaya didn't pay her much attention. All his attention was on his surroundings. He was looking for the blonde brute that owned the bar but he didn't see him anywhere.

Izaya bounced his way over to the bar and sat down on the stool, spinning it to face where Erika was. Said dark haired girl looked up from a glass to his the smirking ravenette. She gasped and rushed towards him leaving the other brunette to take care of the customers.

"Iza-Iza! Where have you been!? Everyone was worried sick when you weren't here this morning!" She exclaimed and grabbed his hand over the bar.

Izaya smiled widely, his pupils dilated. "I've been here, there, everywhere! Did you know that Mikado is a Yakuza boss! Can you believe it?" Izaya laughed.

Erika frowned and stared into Izaya's eyes. With a shaky voice she spoke. "Izaya-san? What have you taken?" her voice was frightened.

"Taken? I take lots of things. Do you mean what have I drank? I've also drank a lot of things. Vodka, scotch, blood with caffeine. I think that's what Kida-kun said anyway…"Izaya trailed off.

Erika ripped the apron from around her waist and chucked it behind her. "Chloe-Chan! Take care of business, I'll be back in a few." She called to the girl.

The girl but her thumbs up and went back to serving a vampire with a 'bite-me-and-die' attitude. Erika climbed over the bar in a swift leap and landed next to Izaya. She took his arm and started to drag him through the back of the club towards the living area. She pressed her finger on a security panel before a soft click sounded and the door opened. Erika put her arm around Izaya's back and started to steel him up the stairs.

"Shinra-san!" She called loudly.

"Erika-chan. I can walk on my own." Izaya whined as she basically pushed him up the stairs. She ignored him and called for Shinra again.

"Erika-chan. Is everything alright?" Shinra asked as he popped his head over the banister. After seeing Izaya his eyes widened. "Where have you been!?" he shouted down the stairs.

"Well-" Izaya started.

"No time! Izaya-san has drunk vampire blood!" She exclaimed in a worried tone. "With caffeine too!"

Shinra frowned and gave Izaya a stern look. He hopped down the stairs and knocked on Shizuo's door. "Wake up! I'm coming in." he called as he opened the door and walked in. Erika dragged Izaya up the stairs and into the blonde apartment.

Shizuo walked into view with a towel wrapped around his waist. Water dripping off his toned body. Izaya licked his lips and watched a clear droplet slide its way down his abs. "What is it Sh- IZ-ZA-YA-KUUUNNNN. Where the hell have you been!?" He stomped towards them.

The ravenette smirked up as the blonde get closer. "Around." Izaya answered in a snarky voice.

"Not the time! Do you have any of those pills I have you to neutralise vampire blood?" Shinra asked in a hurry.

Shizuo blinked in confusion and surveyed the concerned faces of Shinra and Erika. "Yeah. Second draw on the right. Why?"

Shinra motioned to Izaya.

Shizuo took a step closer, their chest almost touching. He bent down and looked Izaya straight in his crimson eyes. Shock thundered through honey eyes as he stared at the small male. Shizuo grabbed Izaya's upper arm and shook his out of Erika grasp. He looked furious. "What the hell were you thinking!? Do you know how dangerous drinking Vampire blood is? Shit!"

Izaya narrowed his eyes as Shizuo and pulled his arm out of Shizuo's with force. "It just makes you a little faster, a little more like a vampire. Where's the harm in that?" Izaya defended himself.

"Where's the harm in it? Where's the harm in it?!" Shizuo repeated. Shinra walked over with a glass of water and a little pill in his hand. "If you die with Vampire blood in your veins you change into a vampire. Is that what you want?" Shizuo spat.

"Shizuo, calm down. Izaya didn't know. His heads still in the past." He handed Izaya the pill and the glass of water. "Here. Drink this."

Izaya looked at the pill in his hand and frowned. "And if I don't?" Izaya asked stubbornly. Shizuo growled.

"Erm, I have to get back to the bar. I left Chloe-chan on her own. Iza-Iza, make sure you take that pill." Erika pointed at him as if she was scolding a child.

Izaya clamped his mouth shut his to spite Shizuo. He didn't need the brute shouting at him as if he was a powerless child. Who the hell did he think he was?

Shizuo took the glass and pill out of Izaya's hands before the raven could throw it across the room. He grabbed izaya's chin and tried to force his mouth open to pop the pill in. Izaya clenched his jaw harder.

"Shizuo-kun. I don't think that'll work." Shinra said in a small voice. The doctor was getting worried about his smaller friend. At this rate Shizuo was going to be the one to kill him.

"Tch, I'll make it work." Shizuo growled as he put the pill in his own mouth and drank a little water, still holding Izaya's chin firmly in his hand. Izaya's eyes widened as he realised what the taller man was trying to do. He tried to wriggle away putting his hands out to push Shizuo away. Izaya's hands lay on firm shoulder as he pushed; the skin was warm and soft under his touch. Shizuo lent down, Izaya's struggle was futile as he placed his lips on the Informants.

Izaya gasped at the touch of soft but firm lips against his own. Shizuo took the opening to push the pill past Izaya's tongue and into his mouth. The blonde held his lips there waiting for the raven to swallow the pill. He stared into Izaya's shocked auburn eyes, challenging him. Izaya's hands curled into fists against the blondes chest as he gave in, swallowing the pill.

Shizuo slowly pulled away from Izaya his hand still gripping his chin. "Don't test me Izaya. I'm not in the mood." Izaya whacked the hand away from him and whipped his mouth angrily as he glared at the blonde. "Why did you leave this morning? Where have you been?" Shizuo demanded.

Izaya opened his mouth to talk but felt a little dizzy. He suspected it was the pill working its way through his system. He felt lethargic and slow. His eye sight was suddenly blurred and imperfect, back to that of a human. He could no longer hear the noise downstairs of smell strange scents around the room. He felt human again but it wasn't a pleasant feeling. He was like a recovering crack addict that had suddenly gone cold turkey. Izaya felt him heart seem to speed up. He felt horrible but he kept the look of pain off his face.

Izaya rolled his eyes. "What are you? My parole officer?" Izaya taunted. "I was doing my job as an informant." Izaya was surprised to notice that he no longer talked a mile a minute and that he wasn't letting slip information.

Shizuo pushed Izaya backwards, the smaller male hitting the wall behind him. "So you just leave without telling anyone?" He growled. Izaya stared Shizuo down, his eyes swirling.

"I left a note and the last time I checked I didn't have to tell you where I'd been or what I'd been doing." Izaya retorted.

Shizuo's arms boxed Izaya in. It wasn't like he hadn't been in this position before; there were plenty of opportunities for him to escape. It was just more fun to see Shizuo's furious expressions up close. "Don't give me that shit, flea. You worried your friends."

Izaya snorted. "Then why are you the one pushing me up against a wall and demanding an answer. We aren't friends, Shizu-chan."

Shizuo's eyes flashed with pain before it disappeared just as quickly. His fingers dug into the wall causing specs of plaster to rain down on Izaya. "We've been looking for you for the past ten years." Shizuo said quietly. "So when I wake up and find a note to say you'd 'gone out' , no number to call, no idea where you'd gone to. How do you think that made us feel?"

Izaya blanked. He glanced round Shizuo to look at Shinra. The Doctor's eyes had bags under them, he look tired but relieved at the same time. Izaya felt a little guilty but at the same time he didn't understand what the huge fuss was about.

"I wasn't aware that I needed to run everything by you, Shizu-chan. Here I thought that I was an adult." Izaya glanced over to Shinra " Sorry Shinra-kun." Izaya shrugged.

Shinra sighed. "Just tell someone next time. It's dangerous out there."

"I can look after myself."

"Really? You come back stinking of vampire and high on blood. That isn't looking after yourself, loose. What is wrong with you?"

Izaya laughed mirthlessly. "What's wrong with me, shizu-chan? I haven't changed a bit. You're the one with the problem. We're not friends or family and we're certainly not lovers." Izaya spat. He ducked under Shizuo's arms feeling weak due to the loss of his 'blood high'.

"What if I want us to be?"

A hand suddenly wrapped its way around his wrist and pulled him back. Izaya's body whipped around to face Shizuo who no longer looked angry. He looked pitiful. Izaya's eyes widened. Shizuo opened his mouth to speak and closed it again. Izaya went to pull his wrist away but instead found himself being yanked forwards into the blonde's arms. He didn't have time to whip out his blade and defend himself…but he didn't need to. Shizuo was…hugging him.

"I was worried. Okay. I'm sorry I over reacted but you can't do this Izaya. Not again. I can't lose you again." Shizuo whispered into his hair. Izaya went stiff.

Shinra shook his head and quietly excused himself from the room, leaving the two alone.

Izaya laughed. "You're joking right, Shizu-chan?"

Shizuo's arms tightened around the younger male. Izaya could feel the front of his clothes start to get wet from Shizuo's still dripping body. "No." Shizuo breathed so quietly that Izaya thought he had misheard. Shizuo leaned back and raised an arm so that his hand cupped Izaya's cheek.

Izaya didn't know what to do except stare wide eyed at the older man in front of him. Shizuo eyes were filled with concern and another emotion that Izaya didn't even want to guess at. But he didn't have to. For Shizuo's next words would really tip his world upside-down.

"I love you, Izaya."

"Nani?!"
