A/N:- The next one will be for Izuo-trash.

"Shizuo, take it easy." Shinra called sympathetically. The doctor had run down from the apartment on the top floor just to tell him that. His friend was sort of a psychopath but it looked like even the bespectacled raven had a heart.

"I'm dying, aren't I?" Shizuo asked softly when the door closed. The only time he had the courage to ask that question was when it was too late. Turning away Shizuo drew his trench coat tighter around him. Raising his head the blond surveyed the sky above him. A water colour image of red and yellow blended into a darker orange of the setting sun. Sunset.

It was a wake up call for the other residents of Ikebukuro. Vampires. The day belonged to the humans, the night belonged to the undead. Any humans still wandering around after curfew were fair game to the sharp fanged parasites.

A warning two years too late for him. Adrenaline strength had given him a false sense of security. The creatures of the night were on par with it and in the case of the pure bloods- stronger. Shizuo pondered his relationship as he jogged back to his apartment, more in protection of his gift than himself.

The door was open when he reached his home. Not swinging wide open carelessly, opened a touch to let him know there was a guest inside. His guest was one invited in long ago otherwise it would be a neon flashing beacon to those that couldn't know.

"Hey." He gruffly greeted the vampire sitting on his couch. The pure bloods were the first out able to handle the sunset.

"Miss me, Shizu-chan?" Ruby eyes twinkled the raven haired vampire standing to slowly stalk over to him. Shizuo tossed his gift over. "You got me a present?"

"Blood. Your type." Shrugging off his coat he tossed it on the couch keeping his movements minimal.

"You're my type, Shizu-chan." The vampire purred. In a split second the blood bag was abandoned on the table, Izaya behind him one finger stroking the thick vein bobbing at his throat.

"Not tonight." He breathed.

"Why not?" Sharp fangs lightly grazed the area making his knees wobble. Shizuo held his ground. "What's that smell?" Izaya's nose crinkled, the raven sniffing him.

Death. The blonde almost murmured. Their meetings were coming to an end. The way that it should be. To Izaya he shouldn't have been anything more than a food source.

"I was sick earlier." Shizuo told a half truth. "Don't touch my blood, flea."

"A cold won't kill me. Unless it's not a cold." Izaya realised. "...you're sick."

"That's what I just said. Not tonight." Shizuo shook his head pushing the vampire away. "Drink the blood or go find one of your other humans."

Izaya sighed wrapping steel like arms around his torso. "There are no other humans. Only you. I won't drink your blood today but I want you to meet someone." The raven closed his eyes lips moving quickly. "You'll need to invite him in."

Another vampire. Shizuo exerted his strength breaking out of the vampire's embrace. Outside the door he could hear the wind picking up, rustling outside his door.

Knock knock

Shizuo stared at the door not sure what to think. Izaya said that no one and that meant absolutely no one was to find out about their relationship. Then why was there someone now?

"Let him in." Izaya coaxed kissing his cheek. The vampire could just as well compel him but doing that would bring an end to the mutual relationship between them.

"Why?" Shizuo asked eyes on the door.

"Because he's my lover." Izaya smiled sheepishly. "Let him in."

Shizuo blinked looking at the vampire to the door. Not another human- a vampire. "Oh." Strangely enough he wasn't angry. Given his current state, it was more relief than anything else. Izaya still had someone even after he would die. "How long have you two been together?"

"Today would be our ten year anniversary." The vampire confessed eyeing the door lovingly.

"Oh." Shizuo repeated. "Guess that makes me the mistress then." The blonde joked. "You can come in." The door opened and a dark haired teenager walked in.

"Thank you. Izaya-sama, you called?" The vampire looked like a teenager with black hair and brilliant blue eyes staring at the vampire with the same loving gaze.

"Yes. I want you to meet Shizu-chan. He's my lover."

"Donor." Shizuo corrected not feeling well. Being caught in a domestic between married vampires was not what he wanted. "He's all yours."

"Ours." The new addition smiled softly. "I understand why I'm here. You're sick. Dying?" Shizuo shrugged. If the vampire was saying it then it must be true. Izaya could hear his heart beat, the blood travelling his veins. That was why the pure blood had called his lover. The eternal teen's existence set his mind at ease. Chocolate orbs narrowed. An act of kindness was not something the flea would do. Then that left...

"No! I re-" Shizuo gasped his rejection silenced before he could finish. Izaya's hand was jammed over his mouth titling his head back. A strong metallic liquid burst across his palette sliding down his throat.

Izaya's lover stood in front of him holding his wrists as if they were the best of friends and not to keep him prisoner. Shizuo closed his eyes blinking away the tears that threatened to fall. "...I'm sorry." Izaya whispered kissing the back of his neck.

It didn't matter. It was too late to change anything. A vampire's blood was in his system. Izaya toyed with the lapel of his shirt tugging gently as his lips moved further down along the skin over his collarbone.

Shizuo gulped swallowing. "D-don't!" He rasped out given a moment of reprieve.

"It will own hurt for a moment." The vampire binding his movements murmured softly with a sympathetic smile. "Your heart will slow, you'll die and then wake up reborn."

"Mikado-kun. Don't loosen your grip. Shizu-chan isn't like other humans." Izaya nibbled lightly at the junction licking teasingly at the throbbing vein.

"...you said you wouldn't." Shizuo gasped recoiling back against the raven elongated fangs breaking the skin. "...you promised." Droplets of blood welled up running inside his shirt to trail down his skin.

"I lied. I love you too much to let go." Izaya held him up as his body weakened, one arm wrapped protectively around his torso, the other a feeding tube held against his bloodied lips.

Mikado-at least that was what Izaya had called the vamp- had released his wrists. Shizuo lowered his eyes watching through deteriorating vision as his shirt buttons were undone. The blue eyed vampire smoothed a finger up along the trail of blood licking at the droplets.

Shizuo's eyelids fluttered his throat no longer able to swallow. His heart felt cold giving its last beats. Sleepy. He tried to speak finding he had no breath. On his shoulder he could feel something wet touch his skin. Blood? Not blood. Shizuo struggled to stay awake his last laboured breaths pained wheezes. "Please. Don't hate me." His eyelids slid closed for the last time as human. That night Shizuo Heiwajima died in Izaya's arms.

x-x-x

Shizuo opened his eyes surrounded in darkness. The space was cramped keeping his movement minimal. Strangely comfortable though. His vision become wider as the lid of the coffin was lifted. The same vampire from before held the lid smiling down at him. "Good morning, Shizuo-san. Your transition was a success. Izaya-sama wants you to live here with me."

"...a-aren't you older than me?" Shizuo asked placing a hand against his chest. His heart was no longer beating.

"I'm eternally a teenager. In terms of appearance, you are older. I'm Mikado Ryugamine." Shizuo nodded sitting up slowly. "Izaya will be here in a few hours to give you your first meal."

"He'll be late again." Shizuo murmured. Izaya's time keeping was diabolical to say the least. Sunset meant past midnight and the twilight hours. It was on the rare occasions that the raven turned up on time if only to cut their meeting short.

"It can't be helped." Mikado took a step back giving him room to move. Shizuo stretched his body feeling stiff. "We're lucky that we have a relationship with him at all. We are the lowest of the low. A prince has no-"

"Wait, the flea is a prince?" Shizuo snapped quickly.

"You didn't know?" Mikado asked slowly. "Izaya Orihara is the pure blood prince of the vampire race. All we are is his dirty little secret."

Shizuo trudged over to the sofa sitting down with his head in his hands. "...that actually makes a lot of sense." The blonde sighed moving his tongue over his teeth. His canines were sharpened and when elongated they would be deadly. Izaya was a prince and he was a newly born vampire.

x-x-x

"What's the rush?" A woman asked in a clipped voice. Izaya squirmed under her scrutiny. Time felt like it was passing quicker than usual. "Have you thought about what we discussed?"

"Hm? Me becoming more responsible and overseeing our race?" Izaya asked distracted. Turning his human lover had been a spur of the moment decision. It was a rash decision. One that he was usually incapable of making yet the smell of decay in the blonde's home had swayed his judgement. The vampire prince was aware that he had made things ten times more difficult for himself. Two places had become one making it much more suspicious. A new born vampire was far too risky to be left alone.

"Izaya! I was referring to you fathering a child. The family needs an heir." Now the raven did pay attention. "We've arranged a meeting for you to meet with the other families."

"What? Why?" He already had the pair he would spend eternity with. His mother glowered fixing him with one of her stares. Next to her his father nodded in agreement.

"Because we said so. The royal line must be continued. You have your duty. It's time to grow up." Izaya said nothing thinking about what that would mean for his lovers. As it was Shizuo needed his first meal- controlled. He still needed to find a human for that purpose.

x-x-x

It was close to dawn when Izaya showed up at the apartment he was supposedly staying in from now on. Shizuo opened his mouth ready to give the vampire a tongue lashing.

"What's wrong?" He found himself asking instead. Izaya looked tired and fed up. The other vampire noticed it too.

"Hehe, worried about me, Shizu-chan? There's no need-"

"Bullshit. What happened?"

"Hey! If Izaya-sama says there's nothing wrong then you should believe him." Mikado defended falling silent when their attention turned to him.

"Can't hide anything from you, protozoan. I didn't tell you everything." Izaya began. Shizuo sighed shaking his head.

"What about? That you already had a lover or that you were the prince of the vampire race?" Shizuo growled nipping at his lower lip.

"Both. I'm sorry. I want to be with you. Both of you...my parents want an heir. They want me to mate with one of the other stupid pure bloods." Izaya dropped his head in his hands. "I won't be able to see either of you for a while. My actions will be monitored and scrutinised with a fine tooth comb. If they- if they find you..."

Shizuo felt his anger drain, resting a hand on his lover's shoulder. "Do what you have to. Chances are if you fight this the outcome will be worse."

Izaya looked up in shock. "Shizu-chan...I killed you. I changed you into this because I wanted you to stay by my side."

"I was dying anyway." The blonde voiced. "This is a new life I haven't decided what I'm doing yet. As for any decisions regarding your love life...I think that's between you and your partner. I need to take a walk."

Izaya held his wrist in an unbreakable grip. "You can't. Every low class vampire is categorised by who bit them. The two of you are unknown."

"Fuck." Shizuo hissed closing his eyes. "I'm going back to sleep." Izaya was still holding his wrist. "What?"

"You need to feed. I couldn't find a human for you to drink from." Shizuo eyed the blood bag with distaste his lower lip quivering. Their roles had been reversed. He wouldn't be bringing Izaya blood he had gotten from Shinra any longer.

"I-I-" Izaya tore open the top of the bag. Shizuo clenched his fists feeling his gaze zero in on the Crimson liquid his mouth watering. Taking the bag he gulped down the life blood greedily snatching the napkin from Mikado to wipe at his bloodied lips. Ashamed he stared at the pair watching him. Izaya was smiling sadly.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of. You're one of us now, Shizu-chan." Shizuo shook his head backing away. The empty blood bag was crushed in his hand. "I'll personally teach you everything you need."

"You just said you won't be here." The blonde scowled feeling a ripple inside his gut. A hot rush forced its way up his throat. Everything he had drunk came back up spilling from his lips, down his chin and staining his shirt.

"Shizu-chan!" Izaya sounded panicked rushing to his side. "What happened? Tell me!" He could tell by the vampire's reaction what he had just done wasn't normal.

His knees gave way caught in strong arms. "Shizuo-san? Are you okay?" The other vampire asked quietly. Shizuo didn't answer more perplexed that the blue eyed raven was smiling.

Izaya held him arms wrapped in a strong embrace. "...can't be." Shizuo rested his head on the flea's shoulder. "Turning you into a vampire was so your body reset. No more diseases to make you sick. You're still sick."

Shizuo was more interested about what was underneath Izaya's skin. Opening his mouth his fangs pierced the pure blood's throat. He didn't understand why Izaya's blood tasted so sweet but he wanted more.

"...Shizu-chan!" The raven gasped. "My blood won't do anything."

Shizuo continued to drink that was until an arm locked around his throat pulling him away. It was fine. He had drunk more than enough. Breaking free the newborn vampire curled up on the floor falling asleep.

x-x-x

Mikado stared down at his new room mate in shock. "Izaya-sama, are you okay?" His lover staggered back clutching at his neck.

"I'm fine. He only took a little. Place him back in the coffin. I need to find out why he threw up."

"Shizuo-san drank your blood okay." Mikado slowly picked up the man he would have to share Izaya's affection for.

"I know. A vampire that drinks another vampire's blood. If you have no objections I want you to give him yours the next time he wakes up."

Mikado pulled his arms back closing the lid on the coffin. "If that's what you want, Izaya-sama. Do you regret taking us in?"

Izaya's arms were around him in an instant. "No, never. My family has never cared about what I want. They'll kill you. I have to do this."

Mikado nodded. "Isn't there another way? I'd bear your child for you."

"You can't." His lover smiled softly gazing at him with loving eyes. "You're not a pure blood or a female. Thank you, Mikado-kun. These past ten years have been the happiest of my eternal life."

Mikado clenched his fingers in his lover's cloak. "I love you, Izaya-sama." There had to be something he could do but it looked like Izaya had already given up hope.

x-x-x

They would be abandoned. Shizuo had already reached the conclusion. The flea wasn't there when he woke up for the second time. "Morning, Shizuo-san."

"Still not used to this." The newborn grumbled sitting up. "I'll be out of your hair soon."

"Izaya-sama won't be happy if you leave."

"He's suffering. Better to leave of my own volition than force him to make the choice." Shizuo massaged his shoulder rubbing out the kinks. "He's all yours."

"No. Shizuo-san, I can't let you leave. You haven't drank blood yet. You'll be a danger to yourself and everyone else. You can't stomach human blood. Please at least try mine."

The blue eyed vampire stood in front of him blocking his way holding out a bloodied wrist. Shizuo leaned in lapping at the vampire's blood. The instant it hit his tongue he recoiled spitting it out.

"You can't drink unless it's Izaya-sama's blood?" Mikado gasped. Shizuo shook his head wiping his mouth trying to get rid of the taste. "You can't leave. I-I won't let you."

"What are you two doing?" Shizuo looked up meeting Izaya's gaze. Just what he hadn't wanted to see. "Shizu-chan, where are you going?"

"To see a friend." Maybe Shinra could help with his dilemma.

"No." Izaya slashed his wrist holding it out. Shizuo groaned gravitating towards the delicious liquid. On his knees he lapped at the fluid bowing to the prince like some sort of dog. "You aren't ready yet." There was nothing he could say or do. When he was human they were equals and now he was nothing more than the pure blood's slave. His body wouldn't listen to him.

x-x-x

Izaya watched the cut he had made heal. The blonde had turned away from him choosing to spend their time together shut away in a coffin. "Shizu-chan..."

"Izaya-sama, is everything okay?" Mikado rested a hand on his shoulder. Izaya smiled appreciating the comfort.

"I shouldn't have turned him." The prince murmured feeling their bond breaking. Something was different now. Izaya hung his head. His decision had only made things worse. Behind him came a harsh gasp followed by a loud crash. Standing in the room surrounded by broken glass was a pitch black horse. Mikado stared at the woman climbing down head held in her arms.

Izaya was on guard eyeing the newcomer with curiosity and panic. He didn't know the woman or what she wanted. Standing straight he pushed Mikado gently behind him taking a stance in front of the occupied coffin.

"Izaya-sama, is she a pure blood? Mikado whispered. Izaya stared at her shaking his head. She couldn't be a vampire. Not with the way shadows twisted around her.

"Where is he?"

"Where is who?" Izaya asked the talking head. The shadows transformed into a slim pole a sharp looking silver curved blade came out of the top.

"Where is he?"

The lid from the coffin slammed open, the blonde getting up quickly. "Celty, don't!" The scythe dissipated. Izaya glanced between the pair eyes narrowing.

"Shizu-chan. Who is this?" His question was ignored in favour of the blonde trying to convince the newcomer not to kill them.

"You're dead! Why didn't you come to me?"

"Celty, it's okay. I chose to do this. Don't! Calm down."

Izaya dodged the blade, Mikado a millisecond after him. "Shizu-chan, who is your impossible friend?"

"Flea, this is Celty. Celty, this is my lover Izaya and...his lover, Mikado."

x-x-x

Shizuo's friend wasn't human. Mikado knew that just by the sight and the power emanating from her. Izaya was on his guard not making a move.

"Why didn't you contact us? Shinra said you might do something stupid."

"I know. Listen-" Izaya's other lover faltered stumbling forward. The blonde hadn't fed yet. Mikado watched shadows cushion his fall. "Shit." He watched as the woman cut herself bringing her wrist to Shizuo's mouth without a second thought. In front of him Izaya tensed.

The blood wasn't rejected. The blonde drank his fill and then curled up on the shadow cushions falling asleep. Just like what had happened when Shizuo had drank Izaya's blood.

"He's asleep. If you hurt him..." The threat was left standing.

"I have no intentions to harm Shizu-chan." Izaya finally spoke out. "He's a newborn. When he can control blood lust he's free to go where he pleases. Quicker now that we know he can drink your blood."

"It wasn't my blood. I replicated the only blood he can drink. Shizuo has always had something extra as a human. It's no surprise that the same applies as a vampire. Take care of him."

"What do you mean?" Mikado found himself asking stepping out of Izaya's protection. "What type of blood?"

"Pure blood. Shizuo will only be able to drink from vampire pure bloods."

Mikado nodded storing the information away. It wasn't just Izaya then. "What are you?"

"That is none of your concern."

"It is when you break into Mikado-kun and Shizu-chan's home." Izaya took a step forward eyeing the sleeping blonde. "What are you?"

"A friend." With that the woman was gone leaving Shizuo asleep on the floor. Not one piece of the shattered glass touched his body.

"That was incredible." Mikado breathed wide eyed like a human child seeing a vampire for the first time.

"That was impossible." Izaya murmured kneeling on the floor to pick up the blonde. "Shizu-chan, wake up."

"What?" The blonde growled vanishing over to the other side of the room.

"I suppose that was the friend you wanted to see." Izaya murmured.

"Celty? One of them. Doesn't matter now. She'll let him know it's not his fault. Shinra is a doctor. He was the one giving me the blood bags." Shizuo sighed.

"What is she?" Izaya pressed stalking over to the blonde.

"Dunno. There's a couple of names people call her. She won't harm you two. Not now that she knows I chose to be here."

"Shizu-chan, don't lie to me." Izaya scowled. "She's who you were going to see. To get away from me?"

"...to fix me. She can recreate whatever is wrong with me so I can drink human blood. I'd be about as normal as I can be."

Mikado smiled an idea popping into his head. "She can do that? What about creating a reproductive system? Can your friend do that?"

"Mikado-kun!"

"Don't see why not. When I was a kid my heart exploded. Celty made a new one in a matter of seconds."

The news only excited him more. "Izaya-sama, I can bear your child." The pure blood smiled more beautiful than anything he had ever seen.

"No. You won't. It was probably the heart that made Shizu-chan sick. I can't bring you back if you die this time."

x-x-x

"Guess this is it then." Shizuo sighed sitting on the sofa. It was rare that he and Izaya got some time alone with Mikado always craving the raven's attention.

"We don't know that. There still might be some way out. I'm just meeting her. I'll be back here as soon as I can." The pure blood leaned against him one pale hand in his own.

"You're not giving up? It would be easier." Shizuo covered his mouth his fangs sharpening.

"I'm not giving up on either of you. You're hungry." Izaya drew a line across his throat. "Nothing has changed between us, Shizu-chan." Shizuo said nothing crawling onto his lover's lap licking at the cut. "I'm happy."

"Huh?" Shizuo chased a droplet with his tongue.

"You can only drink my blood. The first time Mikado-kun drank human blood he slept with the human. I don't have to worry about that with you."

"No, just that if you abandon me I'll have to drink from Celty." Shizuo lifted his head meeting Izaya's heated gaze. "That was supposed to make you feel better. Your other lover can handle himself by the looks of things."

"There are times I wish I weren't born at the top of the hierarchy. I will come back for you. Both of you. You're mine, Shizu-chan." Izaya kissed him a long lingering kiss that stayed with him even after the pure blood vanished to meet his arranged partner.

x-x-x

"I heard nothing about a change in meeting place." Shizuo flinched hearing a woman's voice. Surely Izaya wouldn't have brought his supposed mate back to their love nest.

"Izaya-sama thought this would be more romantic." Shizuo shrugged closing his eyes. After drinking Izaya's blood he felt weak.

"He thought wrong. This place is too small. Is that his coffin?" Shizuo knew he wouldn't be getting any sleep with the racket going on outside. "How dare you make me wait!"

The lid was opened an angry looking brunette staring down at him. Shizuo's eyes widened seeing Izaya's other lover smile. The woman gasped white dress turning a ghastly red.

Shizuo winced covered in the flow as the vampire's body was pushed into the coffin the lid slammed down. "Hey!" Her blood soaked into his clothes clogging his senses. Pure blood. His instincts screamed. Opening his mouth his eyes closed mentally screaming for his lover.

x-x-x

"Well that was a waste of time. She didn't even show up." Izaya climbed through the window. Mikado was on the floor scrubbing it clean. His nose twitched sneezing as the overpowering scent of lavender hit him.

"Welcome home, Izaya-sama." Immediately he knew something was wrong. In the blink of an eye he was standing at the coffin lifting the lid. The inside was covered in blood. There was no sign of his other lover.

"What happened?" Mikado shrugged. Izaya lifted him the ground. "What did you do?"

"Izaya-sama, I have good news. I'm pregnant." Slowly Izaya lowered his lover to the floor. "Almost a month now." Exactly after the blonde's friend had shown up.

"I said no. We don't know the effects...where's Shizu-chan? Who's blood is this? Mikado-kun! Don't make me compel you."

Mikado smiled softly hands on his belly. "I have everything you need. You don't have to find someone else now."

x-x-x

They would kill him. Slowly and painfully. The blonde would suffer in agony maybe years maybe eternity depending on the severity of the crime.

Izaya couldn't flit across the rooftops fast enough. He should've kept a better eye on them. Mikado had intercepted his date claiming to be his servant. The blood bond made the claim legitimate. The newborn hadn't been able to resist blood lust driven into overdrive. A pure blood was dead. No- that wasn't certain. All Mikado knew was that both vampires had been taken.

If she was still alive then he might be able to negotiate a deal. Something to save his lover from a fate worse than death. Bursting through the doors of his home Izaya sniffed scenting the blonde. "Izaya! There you are. The council is here to see you."

Shit. She was dead. Izaya shook his head entering the room his cloak sweeping behind him. The heads of the other families sat around the table. "You know why you've been summoned?"

"...yes. It wasn't his fault. There's a genetic defect that only allows him to drink from a pure blood."

"Yes we know. We've tested him."

"Then you know it was an accident. Please don't kill him." Izaya begged lowering his head.

"We aren't going to kill him. As we see it he couldn't control himself. I remember when I had my first I killed my entire kitchen staff. You should have reported this sooner."

Izaya's brow furrowed confused as to why the hard assed elders were being so lenient. "Thank you." He said slowly deciding not to question it.

"My lord. It would be wise not to let him leave your side until he delivers."

Delivers? Izaya left the room knowing where his lover was. Opening the door he found his father sitting on his bed. The blonde was sitting in the bed sucking the man's finger. Jealousy spiked inside him wanting to snap his father's finger. "Well it's about time you got here. Shizuo here has been starving. We'll talk about this later."

"Yes father." Izaya stood where he was hearing the door close. Slowly he walked towards the bed taking a seat. "Sorry."

"Mm. Turns out I wasn't dying." The blonde whispered.

"No, you weren't." Izaya agreed filled with guilt.

"I'm pregnant." The blonde spoke again voice cracking.

"Yes, you are. I'm sorry, Shizu-chan. I killed our child. I didn't think of the possibility."

"Its...okay. The nurse checked. The baby is a pure blood. Think it might have something to do with the amount of blood I drank?"

"Probably. The council won't punish you. You're free to stay here. Actually- you won't be allowed to leave." Izaya murmured softly stroking his fingers down the blonde's cheek.

"...this is good right? You won't have to leave?"

Izaya smiled. "This is impossible and amazing. It's the best outcome I could have hoped for."

x-x-x

Izaya left his bedroom, his lover was fast asleep and he had some explaining to do. "Congratulations." His mother beamed. His father looked happy too. "If you had other plans you should have said. To think you already had an heir."

"...two." Izaya confessed quietly averting his gaze. "I have another lover who's pregnant."

"Oh! Well. Do they know about each other?" His father asked tugging at his collar. "Stress isn't good for the baby. Not to mention how volatile the situation may become."

Izaya sighed scratching his head. "They live together." Even to himself it sounded ridiculous. "My room alone is bigger than the apartment."

"I see. We'll leave them to you. I expect to meet both of your partners." His mother smiled. Izaya hid a grimace at the thought.

x-x-x

His oldest lover was where he had left him. Izaya came in through the window seeing Mikado cowering. It was his fault that the raven's mind had slipped. "A-are you mad?"

"No. I'm not. Get up Mikado-kun. It's time to go." Izaya commanded his gaze dropping to the vampire's belly.

"Did they kill him?"

"No. Shizu-chan is pregnant. It's the reason why he was sick." Izaya could see jealousy swirling in bright blue eyes. "Both of you will be living with me from now on."

"Yes, Izaya-sama." Heaving a sigh the prince lifted Mikado bridal style in his arms. His slightly unhinged lover smiled filled with happiness. In moments they were gone and the apartment was left vacant for someone else.

Back at the family home Izaya swept past his nosy family taking one pregnant lover to see the other. "Shizu-chan, looks like you're not the only one pregnant. You two can have the bed."

"What? No. I'll stay with you." Mikado complained. Izaya knew it would only be a matter of time before he compelled the vampire.

x-x-x

"You wanted to see me?" Izaya looked up seeing the impossible creature sitting beside him.

"Shizu-chan is pregnant but you already knew that."

"Not until Mikado-kun asked for a favour. When Shizuo was younger he got angry. Really angry. His heart exploded seconds before he got hit by a truck. I had seconds to repair the damage. I used an anatomy book Shinra's father gave me."

Izaya dropped his head in his hands trying not to laugh. "You fixed Shizu-chan as if he was a woman. Now you've done the same thing to Mikado-kun."

"Is something wrong?" Celty asked tilting her head in her arms.

"One wouldn't be so bad. Two is a nightmare. Shizu-chan craves my blood and comfort. Mikado-kun wants my attention because Shizu-chan has it. At the moment they're both asleep-thankfully." Izaya sighed leaning back to stare at the moon. "You blessed and cursed me at the same time."

"I'm sorry. I was only trying to help my friend."

"I know." Izaya chuckled darkly. "I have to keep them both satisfied for the next nine months. It's less than that for Shizu-chan. I suppose every cloud has a silver lining. Two lovers, two children."

"Shizuo is carrying twins." Izaya closed his eyes pressing a knuckle into his forehead.

"Celty-san. Go away."

"Flea?" Izaya snapped around seeing his pregnant lover climbing onto the roof.

"Shizu-chan! What do you think you're doing up here?" Celty was gone leaving the two of them alone. "Get back into bed."

"I'm fine. Are you okay?" The blonde asked looking concerned. It made a change from how he was usually treated.

"I'd feel better if you weren't standing on the roof. Let's go back inside."

"Your other lover snores...and takes up the majority of the bed." The blonde grumbled taking a seat. Izaya joined him folding his cloak around the two of them.

"I suppose you can stay up here for a couple of hours." Izaya smiled.

"A baby huh? Didn't see that one coming."
