Day 25: Gazing into each other's eyes
I did my best
Sometimes they looked red when the light hit them at a certain angle. Shizuo didn't know why, couldn't explain why, but sometimes Izaya's eyes just looked red. Other times they looked brown, dark and mysterious and just waiting. Right now, though, they were almost hazel. Izaya's eyes were weird, really, but Shizuo liked that. They were tangled together in their bed sheets, hearts still racing and limbs sweaty from their previous love making. Izaya's hands cupped Shizuo's cheeks softly, changing eyes staring intently into his and offering only warmth, joy and love. Shizuo, truthfully, really loved staring into Izaya's eyes. Not only were they warm and loving, they were calculating and intelligent, dominant and assuring and yet, at the same time, needing. Those eyes revealed that deep down Izaya was as needy as Shizuo was.
Izaya smiled a little, thumb brushing across the blond's cheek bone. He loved Shizuo's eyes, something he stated as frequently as the other would allow. Shizuo's eyes were light, mocha colored and gentle. Even when he was angry, when rage and fury would flare up and enlighten that mocha color into something akin to black, bitter coffee, they were still gorgeous. Izaya loved those eyes because they were warm, soft. They were also cautious and searching, taking in everything around the blond so he could store it all away for late nights when sleep avoided him. They were also scared, though, and they stared at Izaya with such a simple plea of "Love me" and Izaya thought it was beautiful.
"You're staring," Shizuo whispered.
Izaya smiled slowly. "You were, too."
Shizuo gave a very lazy, not really there shrug, and leaned closer to kiss his fiance's cheek. "You're a nice thing to look at."
Izaya's cheeks burned hot as he chuckled. "Oh, am I? I'm flattered..."
They fell silent again, just gazing into each other's eyes. Shizuo leaned in and kissed Izaya, this time on the lips, and this kiss was much slower. Izaya melted into the kiss right away and would have been content to kiss forever. Shizuo was tired, though, and they both needed to shower. They parted but made no move to get up, to begin cleaning. Izaya smiled again as he took one long, lingering look into Shizuo's eyes before he nudged him in the leg gently. "Shower?"
Shizuo nodded slowly. "Yeah, sure."
They really are too cute for their own good.
