First off, just so I can get this out of my system, ANIME EXPO WAS SO AWESOME GUYS! I had so much fun with my Izaya and Kanra cosplay, got to meet one of my top favorite Durarara Fanfic authors (^w^)~Yay!, and blew a ton of money on fabulous Durarara prints and an awesome wall scroll of Shizuo and Izaya (I regret nothing! …yet anyway.) Those pretty pictures now decorate the walls near my desk. *w*

Anywho, sorry this chapter took a while because right after I came home from Anime Expo I practically had to pack up again and headed to Vegas for a week where I had such crappy internet connection and sadly, no laptop. ;_; And just to let you all know…I LIED! This IS NOT the last chapter! XD Because a couple of you last chapter mentioned some things about Shitsuo and Sakuraya which ended up giving me an idea and because I want to make this story end on an even number of chapters, I will be adding an extra story for Shitsuo and Sakuraya as well! Yay!

So enjoy this one of Tsuki and Roppi and look forward to the next one of Shitsuo and Sakuraya and that will be the final, real end! XD

Oh, I also have some more big news for you all at the end of this story!

Tsukishima & Hachimenroppi Omake

Bliss was the only word to describe the state of Tsukishima's life right now. He was fully suspended in a world of complete happiness where it seemed like nothing could go wrong and everything was just right. But maybe it was because he was so happy that he was due for something unhappy. Maybe it was some kind of divine retribution that made his blissful world crack underneath his feet, threatening to crumble completely.

"What does it mean when your lover never says that he loves you?"

Delic stopped midway in devouring his sandwich, his eyes widening at the sudden question from his usually reserved little brother. He had guessed that Tsukishima had found a lover as of late considering how often his little brother stayed at his studio than at home. Not that Delic minded; it actually gave him more chances to bring his own lover over. But he had never guessed that his little brother was just like him and in love with another man.

"Ahh…err…" Delic trailed off awkwardly as he scratched the back of his neck. His eyes flickered back and forth, too nervous to face Tsukishima full on. How the heck was he supposed to answer a question like that? Finally he sighed and asked, "Have you ever said it?"

"Plenty of times," Tsukishima answered matter-of-factly. He wasn't exactly one who shied away from "the L word" when he meant it, and he definitely meant it when it came to his lover, Hachimenroppi. Roppi was special as he was Tsukishima's first and only love. So Tsuki took every chance he got to let the raven know of his affection. And usually, he didn't mind when the raven didn't respond in the same manner.

But lately, it was starting to bug him. He and Roppi had practically been going out for over half a year already, nearing their seventh month anniversary. Wasn't it normal for couples to at least say that they "liked" each other by this time? But Roppi hadn't even said that to him even once before. And even simple shows of affection such as holding hands or even a kiss were always initiated by Tsukishima. Hachimenroppi never did any such thing on his own, and now Tsukishima was starting to lose his confidence in Roppi's feelings towards him. After all, Tsukishima had practically pressured Roppi into this relationship in the beginning. What if Roppi didn't even like him at all and was only going out with him out of pity?

"Maybe your lover's just really shy?" Delic offered, breaking Tsukishima from his depressing thoughts. The pink eyed blonde nervously glanced down at the sandwich he had abandoned. He wasn't really sure how to help his little brother considering it had taken him over six years for him and his lover to admit their true feelings to each other. So he wasn't exactly the best role model.

"I guess that could be it," Tsukishima murmured as he sighed tiredly, propping his elbow up on the table to rest his cheek on his hand. He knew Hachimenroppi had a troubled past, making him rather tentative at forming close human relationships. He had hoped, though, that he had helped Roppi get past that, even if just a little bit.

Delic tried to cheer his brother up, giving him a reassuring smile and placing a comforting hand on his little brother's shoulder, "Don't worry about it so much. Your lover will tell you his feelings when he's good and ready."

"I hope so," Tsukishima sighed wistfully. "I really do hope so."


Kanra: You haven't told him you love him yet? (・□・;) That's so sad Miachi! He's probably been waiting for you to say it!

Miaka: I know but…('A`)

Kanra: *sigh* (¬_¬) Miachi, you really can't do things like that! He'll get fed up and leave you!

Miaka: Ts-Tsuki w-would never—! Σ(OДO|||)

Kanra: And how do you know that? Think about it Miachi! If you had a lover than never said "I love you" wouldn't you also feel insecure? I know I wouldn't stick around.

Miaka:

Kanra: I'm telling you it's best if you let him know your feelings clearly! If you don't, both of you will just misunderstand and it'll cause problems. Believe me, it's not worth it to keep secrets about how you feel about him.

Roppi leaned back in his swivel chair, staring at his computer screen with a frown as he tapped his fingers across the desk in worry.

He had noticed recently that there was something off about Tsukishima lately. That sometimes Tsuki would look at him with a kind of longing in his eyes and a kind of pain when that desire wasn't filled. It hurt Roppi. He knew what Tsuki was expecting from him, but it wasn't easy to do what was expected.

After all, he couldn't even remember the last time he had said "the L word" to anyone. It wasn't exactly a word that easily left his lips or a word that he really liked to say.

But he did like Tsuki, possibly loved him even. But that didn't make it any easier to say the word, heck much less even think it. Roppi was caught in an unpleasant spot right now, and he wasn't sure how to get out of it.

Setton has entered the chat room.

Kanra: It's Set-chan! ( ^_^)/ Hi!

Miaka: Hello…

Setton: ? What's the matter Miaka? You seem unhappy.

Roppi couldn't help the small smile that played on his lips. Celty was always so perceptive and knew when something was troubling him. It was nice that she was so caring towards him. But just as Roppi moved to type out his response to her, his online friend beat him to the punch.

Kanra: MIACHI HASN'T TOLD HIS LOVER THAT HE LOVES HIM YET!

Miaka: K-Kanra—!

Setton: Ehh! You haven't told him yet? Haven't you guys been dating for seven months now?

Roppi groaned as he covered his face with his hand. He really wished Kanra hadn't blurted it all out so suddenly to Celty, but he couldn't help it now. But he sure was embarrassed at how trivial his problem was starting to sound. Was it really so normal for people to say "the L word" at this point in a relationship? He just didn't understand it. But maybe that was because before he had met Tsuki, he had never known was love was truly like.

Miaka: Is it really that bad that I haven't said it to him yet?

Setton: …well, everyone goes at their own pace…

Kanra: Oh please Set-chan! Stop being so nice! We both know it's strange that Miachi hasn't said "I love you" yet to his lover. Have you at least ever said anything back whenever he says it to you, even if it's not an "I love you"?

Hachimenroppi paused to think about it, his face burning with shame when he realized he hadn't even done that much. Whenever Tsuki had said those words to him, all he had done was become very quiet and shy to meet Tsukishima's eyes.

But shouldn't Kanra cut him some slack at least? After all, he knew about Roppi's past! It wasn't easy for the raven to accept such affections. But he also didn't want Tsukishima to start drifting away from him.

Miaka: What do you think I should do?

Kanra: I have a great idea that I think your lover will appreciate! All you need is some strawberries, whip cream, chocolate sauce, sexy, lacy underwear, and—

Miaka: I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT DOING WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT.

Kanra: Aww, you're no fun, Miachi. You won't even get the sexy underwear?

Miaka: No. ヽ(o`皿′o)ノ

Kanra: Hmph, fine. (-`д´-) You have any ideas then, Set-chan?

Setton: Maybe you don't need to tell Tsuki-san that you love him.

Miaka: Eh?

Roppi tilted his head slightly in confusion. What was Celty saying? Wasn't the whole point of this conversation was that they were telling him it wasn't normal that he hadn't told Tsuki he loved him yet?

Setton: What I mean to say is, maybe you don't need to actually say "I love you" to him. Sometimes you can express emotions through actions, and that can be much more powerful than words. I mean, how else would Shinra ever know how I feel about him since I can't exactly say "I love you" all the time either? I think the best way to show Tsukishima how you feel about him is doing something that you don't normally do that shows how much you car for him.

Roppi stopped to mull over Celty's words. They made a lot more sense than what Kanra was suggesting. But how would he show Tsuki? What was something that he could do? How exactly did one express "love" through action?

Miaka: …I think I understand what you mean, but…I still don't know what to do.

Setton: Well, think about it Miaka, what's something that is out of the norm for you to do that you could do for Tsuki-san?

Hachimenroppi stopped to think about it, going over all of things that Tsukishima always did for him. He grew discouraged when he realized that he actually depended on Tsukishima for a lot of things. While Roppi had learned how to be independent when he had finally separated from his parents, since starting his relationship with Tsukishima he had slowly allowed the blonde to pamper and take care of him. He was surprised to see how much he had actually relied on and trusted Tsukishima.

But that made his job now much harder. If Tsukishima did practically everything for him, what else could he do for Tsukishima?

Kanra: I know what you can do!

Roppi waited patiently as Kanra typed out the rest of his message.

Kanra: People say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, right? So why not make Tsuki-chan a delicious meal full of your rabu rabu~! ~(^w^)~ *hearts*

Hmm, cooking a meal was doable for Roppi. After all, he had to learn how to cook or he would have starved as a kid since his parents never paid any mind to him.

Kanra: And while you're at it, why not bake a cake or make some chocolate for him? You said he likes sweets, so what better way to end the night then with something sweet? And you could also give him another treat by being completely naked under your apron and greeting him at the door with, "Hello darling~ Would you like dinner, a bath or…me~?"

Roppi blushed furiously at Kanra's last comment, shaking his head profusely at the idea of doing something so humiliating and demeaning. But the first part of what Kanra said wasn't bad. Tsuki did like sweet things a lot. Although Hachimenroppi had never really baked before, but there was a first time for anything right? And he was trying to do something for Tsukishima.

Miaka: I think I'll just stick to cooking and making a cake.

Kanra: Killjoy

Setton: Sounds wonderful, Miaka! Good luck!

Miaka: Thanks

He was going to need all the luck he could get.


"Oohh!" Roppi huffed in frustration as he slammed the pan down on the counter a bit too harshly. It was his third ruined cake. He wasn't sure what he was doing wrong to end up with cakes that were overcooked, undercooked, and fell flat, but he was really starting to get irritated and worried. He had come to Tsuki's studio to cook, intending to surprise the blonde when he came back from school, and he had made dinner with no problem as it sat warm in the microwave. But once he had started on the cake, well, the results were disastrous.

Sighing, Roppi wondered if he should just give up on making dessert and stick with just dinner. Or maybe he had enough time to run to the store and buy a cake. Turning to look at the clock, Roppi accidentally knocked his hand into the bowl that held the chocolate ganache he was going to cover the cake in. The bowl spun and toppled over the counter. Roppi quickly moved, trying to catch it before it came into contact with the ground, but he only succeeding in getting some ganache on his face, chest, and legs as he tripped and fell to the ground with it.

"Dammit!" he swore as he tried to sit up without slipping on the spilled chocolate. He glared at the offensive bowl of sweet darkness and sighed tiredly. Tsukishima could be home at any second now and he had this entire mess to clean up!

This was all Kanra's fault.

Sighing irritably again, Roppi moved to clean up the floor and pick up the bowl to place in the sink before he looked down at himself. Everything he wore was stained by chocolate. I probably should have worn Tsuki's blue apron after all, he thought with regret as he remembered that he had no more spare clothes leftover at Tsuki's home. He would have to wash his clothes now. Glancing at the clock, Roppi saw that he had a little more time before Tsukishima would be getting out of class and coming home. It was enough time to wash the chocolate out of his clothes and stick in the dryer on high real quick.

Moving to strip off his clothes to throw them into the washer, Roppi froze in mid-action when he heard the click of the door being open.

"I'm home," Tsuki murmured, kicking off his shoes as his eyes caught the extra pair by the entrance. "Roppi? Are you—"

Tsukishima looked up, his body jerking to a stop as his eyes widened and his cheeks heated up. Standing in front of him a few feet away next to the open kitchen was his lover in the middle of pulling off his shirt, revealing the soft-looking, milky skin of his stomach. The blonde swallowed drily as he eyed the unblemished skin wistfully, in the back of his mind thinking of how much he would like to lick and mark that skin all over as Tsuki's eyes trailed up to Roppi's confused and reddened face. He just looked so adorable and vulnerable, easy enough to push down and—what was he thinking?

His entire face red with embarrassment, Tsukishima quickly threw up his hands innocently and turned away, hastily saying, "I-I-I'm s-sorry, Roppi! I-I didn't mean to—! It's just—! Why—? Ah, um—"

At a loss for words and thoroughly embarrassed, Tsukishima just turned so that his back was facing Hachimenroppi. "S-sorry…"

Roppi wished he could just crawl into a hole and die right now. He didn't think Tsukishima would get back home early and catch him like this. At the moment, he really just wanted to run away and hope that in some time he would finally be able to show his face to Tsukishima again. But he had caught the brief look of desire in Tsukishima's eyes before the blonde had turned away. He wondered why Tsuki was holding himself back?

"Ah…w-we-welcome h-home…" Hachimenroppi whispered so softly he wondered if Tsukishima had even heard him. He blushed fiercely as he tugged at the edges of his shirt suddenly feeling very exposed despite the fact that he was still fully clothed. His head spinning as he stammered nervously, "I-I made dinner…"

That earned him a surprised look from the blonde who then smiled happily, "Now what brought this about?"

"Ah…um, I just wanted to do something for you," Roppi muttered shyly as he glanced at the ground. He shook slightly as he twisted his fingers together. "Because I—I…"

Say it! his conscience urged him on. Say it!

"I…"

Say it! How hard is it to say two little words? his inner self chastised himself. Why are you so afraid of one word?

Roppi was trembling now, his knuckles turning white from clenching his hands too tightly. The words felt caught in his throat as he felt his eyes sting with threatening tears of frustration. It really shouldn't be this difficult to say those last two words. But fear paralyzed him on that spot as his voice cracked slightly, his throat feeling dry. "I—"

Before he could even continue Roppi was overwhelmed with the sudden warmth of Tsukishima wrapping his arms around the raven.

"It's okay," the blonde whispered reassuringly in his ear. His hold on Hachimenroppi tightened slightly, his silent way of telling the raven that he understood. He understood the words that Roppi was so desperately trying to convey yet couldn't find the strength to say. "You don't have to force yourself to say it."

All the anxiety over wondering what Roppi's true feelings were left Tsukishima then. He was relieved and happy that the raven actually felt the same for him. Although Hachimenroppi couldn't say the words, just seeing him do all this was enough for Tsukishima. He knew that if Roppi really didn't care for him, he wouldn't have done any of this.

This was his way to show affection, and that was all Tsukishima needed for now. Later on, when Hachimenroppi grew more comfortable around him and could let go of what happened in his past, he hoped then Roppi would finally be able to say those words without fear.

"Y-You're getting chocolate all over yourself…" Roppi muttered, trying to distract himself from the fluttering butterflies of happiness in his stomach as he pushed Tsuki away softly.

"Then I guess we'll both just have to wash up together," Tsuki said with a suggestive wink that made Hachimenroppi turn all pink in the face again. The blonde then eyed the chocolate ganache still on Roppi's face, the raven looking at him warily.

"What?" Roppi wondered before he froze in surprise, gaping at the blonde who had reached down and licked up the chocolate on his cheek. All he could was sputter incoherent words as Tsukishima pulled away with a devious smile and twinkle in his eyes.

"Mm, tastes pretty good. I think I want to have my dessert first."

"Eh but—!" Roppi didn't have a chance to protest as he was swept off his feet, Tsuki heading over to couch that could fold out into a bed with the raven in his arms.

"I love you, Roppi," Tsuki declared confidently as he gently placed Hachimenroppi onto the couch, trapping the raven between his arms. His scarlet eyes looked down at Roppi's own seriously as he repeated, "I love you very much, Roppi. Do you love me?"

His face burning with happy embarrassment once again, Roppi shyly hid behind his hands as he quietly murmured his response.

"Yeah, I do."

Tsuki only smiled widely before he proceeded to "enjoy his dessert".


Well, I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting to end this extra like that. I debated whether I would add a lime or lemon scene, but since their main story was really fluffy and cute I decided to stick to that. ^^ And writing this, I learned how much I love writing Delic and Tsuki as brothers. They would be the most adorable bro pair ever!
