Second period was finally over and Shizuo went to the nurse's office to check up on Izaya. He managed to avoid pretty much everyone in the school.

Shizuo gently pushed the door to the nurse's office open and stepped inside. The nurse wasn't there and he tiptoed over to the bed where Izaya was lying. "Izaya.." he poked the sleeping flea. "Did you manage to get some sleep?" he asked as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

"A bit…" he mumbled and cracked an eye open to look at Shizuo. "I think I woke up about five minutes ago. Slept until then, that is." He smiled wryly.

"Well.. That's good, I guess" Shizuo smiled. "But you're still tired, right?"

"Yeah… But I think I can manage third period." He said and sat up in the bed, rubbing his eyes.

"Okay.. I guess you could just go home if you don't feel any better" Shizuo shrugged.

"Might as well stay the last period, ne? It's not like I feel sick. How are you feeling by the way?" he smiled at Shizuo and moved a bit closer until he rested his head against Shizuo's shoulder.

"I feel fine.. the fever wasn't that bad" Shizuo smiled.

"I'm glad" his eyes were closed again.

"Don't go back to sleep, flea.." Shizuo sighed as he noticed Izaya closed his eyes.

"Mhmm…"

"Oi.." Shizuo shrugged, making Izaya's head jump up and down. "Go home and rest… I'll help you out to the school gates if you want?"

"Maybe you're right. And I would be happy if you'd follow me… But didn't the break just start? People will notice…"

"Hmm.." Shizuo frowned. "Yeah that's right.. I don't know how we'll avoid all those people".

"We could wait until the break is over… But then you'll be late for class… And I have to get my bag in my classroom too… Maybe I should just go by myself, ne?"

"If you can handle it…"

"Of course I can handle it" he chuckled. "I'll be fine" he said and rose from the bed stretching his small body.

"If you say so" Shizuo shrugged and he too rose from the bed. "Since you've got my number then text me when you're back. Which reminds me.. How did you get my number?" he frowned.

"That… Doesn't matter, ne? But I'll text you when I'm home if you want me to"

"Yeah promise me that" he paused. "Wait.. I want to know why you have my damn number, you stalker!"

"Sure, I'll do that, by the way, we better not leave from here at the same time, see you later!" he quickly said and waved as he left room. Sighing he went to his classroom to pick up his bag. Luckily, no one was there and he easily got out of the school building, without any Sakura or Himiko asking annoying questions.

"O-okay…" Shizuo watched Izaya leave the room and waited for about two minutes before he also left.

The minute Izaya entered his house he dropped his bag in the entrance and went directly to his bedroom where he lay down on his bed, pushed his shoes off the edge of the bed and pulled his clothes off, pushing them over the edge as well. He left his boxers on and crawled under the covers. It only took mere seconds before he was fast asleep and far away in dreamland.

Shizuo had been feeling Himiko's eyes on his back the entire third period. He just wanted to get out of there and hope that she or Sakura wouldn't say anything to anyone about him and Izaya. When the bell rang Shizuo immediately packed his bag and left the classroom constantly looking over his shoulder to see if Himiko or Sakura were stalking him. He had decided that he would go check up on Izaya.

Shizuo walked hastily down the street hoping no one could catch up to him if someone actually was stalking him. He recognized the route home to Izaya as he passed the train station. As he stood in front of the door to the apartment he hesitated before he went in. He went up the stairs and stopped in front of Izaya's door. [I wonder if he locked it or not] he sighed as he grabbed the handle and gently pushed the door open. "Izaya?" Shizuo carefully said as he entered the apartment. He closed the door behind him and left his shoes in the entrance. There was a deep silence in the living room and he decided to go to the bedroom. "Izaya?" Shizuo tiptoed to the bed seeing Izaya lying there, sleeping. Shizuo looked at the edge of Izaya's bed, seeing all his clothes lie messily there and his shoes too. He crawled onto the bed and laid himself down beside Izaya. He couldn't help but smile at the sleeping beauty.

Izaya was lying all peaceful on his side, with the covers pulled up to his neck. "Nnn.." he mumbled as the bed moved.

"Sorry.." Shizuo whispered as he snuggled closer to Izaya. He didn't want to wake him up.

He felt something warm in front of him and snuggled his face into Shizuo's chest, seeking the warmth.

A smile was plastered on Shizuo's face. [So cute..] He wrapped an arm around Izaya, holding him tightly.

They lay like that for about 30 minutes before Izaya's body jumped a bit.

"Ehh?" Shizuo was a bit surprised at the sudden jump.

"Hm? Shizu-chan?" he turned his head up and found himself cuddling with Shizuo.

"Yes?"

"Wh-? Why are you here? When did you come? And how did you get in?" he said as his head were put back to snuggle further into Shizuo's chest.

"I'm here because I wanted to see you. I've been here for about 30 minutes and you hadn't locked the door" he said bluntly, answering all the questions.

"Shizu-chan missed me" he mocked. "But you should have just woken me up, ne?"

"I couldn't.. you're too cute when you're sleeping" he said and gave Izaya a little hug.

"Don't team up with my sisters"

"What?"

"They say the very same thing. And they say I look like a child too"

"And they're right.. you do look like a cute little child" he mocked.

"Do not" he yawned.

"You can't win this discussion" he smirked and pulled Izaya up to face him. "But I'll reconsider if you give me a kiss"

"Stupid protozoan" he smiled and kissed the blonde on the lips. "How come you can just pull me here and there that easily? I'm starting to feel like a simple piece of paper. Well, you can lift pretty much anything but still, ne?"

"Tch.. you're skinny. That's the secret to my amazing strength" he chuckled. "Anyway.. did you sleep alright?"

Izaya chuckled a bit at the first part. "Yeah, I slept alright. I think I woke up… Three times only" he smiled.

"That's crazy.." he sighed. "Maybe you should take a sleeping pill"

"Eh? Are you serious?" he asked a little surprised.

He shrugged. "I don't know… maybe it would help?"

"Maybe… But isn't that a bit too much? I mean.. I only woke up three times… It's getting better…"

"What did you do the last time you saw a horror movie?"

"Tried my best to sleep at night and at day when I was at home. It took about a week before I could get a good night's sleep though."

"A whole fucking week? That's ridiculous" Shizuo sighed. "I'm never going to watch a horror movie with you again.."

"And I'm never watching one ever again. It won't take a week this time. Don't worry." He tried, not even believing his own words. But it had been three days since they watched the movie and he had woken up three times in only two hours. Didn't seem too good.

"I hope not.." he sighed.

"Just stay there and hug me for a few hours and I will be better, ne?" he chuckled.

"You think I've got time for that?" he chuckled.

"Yes!" he said happily.

"Well.. fine then" he hugged Izaya again and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"I was actually kidding, Shizu-chan" he smiled.

"Don't say stuff like that.. you know I'll do it if you ask me to" he sighed.

"Really?"

"Yes…" he admitted. "But I'm not your butler or personal slave.." he added.

"Aww… That's too bad"

"No ideas.."

"Don't worry. I won't use my boyfriend." He paused "At least not too much"

"Wow.. screw you. But you're gonna be my personal slave whether you like it or not" he smirked.

Izaya had ever so slowly began falling back into sleep as Shizuo talked and wasn't sure what any of them were saying anymore. "Sure… For a day, ne?"

"Really? Well.. this'll be fun" he smirked again.

"Mhm…" he mumbled in agreement.

"Good" he nipped Izaya's ear and whispered. "We can play on Saturday, right?"

"Sure.. Ne?" he yawned and slowly sailed off on a ship heading towards dreamland.

"Night night.." Shizuo closed his eyes just to do something else than stare at the sleeping flea.
