Chapter 36

Izaya hugged his baggy gray sweater close to his body as he walked close to Shizuo. The blonde had his arm wrapped around the raven's once again tiny waist. Izaya rested his head on the ex-bartenders shoulder, the raven felt so comforted and safe surrounded in the blondes warmth. The raven scanned his surroundings, he saw the sun shine brightly giving of its final blazes of light before setting. The city was slightly crowded as it usually was and noise emanated from the crowds. Izaya grabbed Shizuo's hand tightly not letting go, he didn't want to get lost in the crowd. Just then Izaya felt someone bump into him. His hand slipped out of Shizuo's and he went back slightly. Izaya immediately turned on his heels and apologized to the person he had bumped into.

"S-Sorry" to Izaya's surprise the guy didn't even realize anything. Usually not being noticed was a good thing "Oh n-never mind"

Shizuo didn't take this as well as the raven did. Shizuo reached out and grabbed the guy who bumped into Izaya and pulled him roughly. Shizuo wanted to beat the guy but he didn't want to get any attention. "What gives, a guy apologizes to you and you ignore him. What kind of behavior is that" Shizuo was very pissed, it was taking all he had to keep his voice down.

"S….S-Sorry man, I…I" the man was defiantly scared; he fumbled on his own words and began to panic.

"Shizuo" Izaya whispered softly, only loud enough for Shizuo to hear it only "I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Come on, we were heading somewhere right"

The raven flashed a small smile that was all it took for Shizuo to let go of the guy. The man immediately ran off. "Sorry about that Izaya it's just-" Shizuo was cut off as he felt Izaya grab his hand tightly.

"It's okay, I understand"

Shizuo lead Izaya through the crowd and set his sights on their destination. Izaya fallowed in curiosity as he waited for this secret destination to be revealed.

They were out of the crowd when Shizuo began to speak "Izaya can you close your eyes for a moment?"

"Oh…alright" Izaya did as the blonde instructed and slowly closed his eyes. He felt the warmth that came from Shizuo's hand disappear for a moment. The raven felt nervous for a moment. What did Shizuo have to show him? He could feel something slip onto his finger before his hands intertwined with Shizuo's. "Can I open my eyes now?"

Shizuo laughed a little "First I have to do this" Izaya could feel heat on his face as Shizuo's face got closer to his and their lips locked. It was a loving kiss, it was comforting and warm. Izaya was shocked at first and opened his eyes by accident, his face flushed as he felt Shizuo's lips run along his. Izaya closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss. Shizuo slowly broke he kiss "Now you can open your eyes" Shizuo whispered into the raven's ear.

Izaya opened his eyes and immediately looked at his hand. On his ring finger was a small ring. "Shizuo" Izaya's eyes widened "H-How…..W…W-When d-did…h-how did…..I…I…"

"Don't ask questions" Shizuo lifted up his hand and showed it to the raven "See I have one too"

"Shizuo you didn't have to do that"

"Wanted to" Shizuo said simply.

Izaya scanned his surroundings and saw where he was. It was the same place he had been the night before he started the gang war. He was even in the same spot, right in the center. "Hey this is…"

"This is what?"

"Nothing" it really shouldn't matter because that that was the place where her decided to start the war. It should matter because it was really the place where the entire series of events that got his to this point started here and this is where Shizuo proposed.

The sun began to set and the sky was illuminated by a warm glow. Shizuo and Izaya sat down on a wooden bench and observed the sky.

"You didn't give me an answer" Shizuo began surprising the raven.

"Didn't answer what?"

"When I gave you the ring, you never said yes"

Izaya was a little confused "Well I just figured…Since I kept it…I thought…Sorry" the raven mumbled with a blush.

"Well what's your answer?"

"Well, yes of course I'll marry you, why wouldn't I? I love you after all" Izaya began looking at the ring on his finger and began to play with it. "Before I used to wear silver rings on my finger because I liked then now I'm wearing this because…"

"Say it" Shizuo whispered to the raven.

"I'm engaged to Shizuo Heiwajima" Izaya smiled like a child "Does that make me Izaya Heiwajima?"

"No not yet" Shizuo put an arm around the raven's shoulder and pulled him closer. Izaya arrested his head on the blondes shoulder.

"I still have to wear a dress though don't I?"

"Yeah, it's too bad guys can't get married to other guys here"

"Shinra and Celty are defiantly coming to the wedding, my sisters and your brother but who else is there"

"Are you suggesting we tell others, like Simon and Kadota? I think I should explain to Tom all the details of our relationship too"

"I want to tell them since I'm pretty sure neither of us is in danger of being attacked by gangs or the yakuza but I don't think everyone in the world is ready for a baby born from too males"

"Actually what did you tell that yakuza jerk that made his back off?"

"Oh that's easy, I threatened him by saying I'd reveal his relationship. I didn't do it before since I wasn't sure how I could keep the city at peace and not be an info broker for the yakuza or anyone specific" Izaya rested his head on the blondes shoulder and cuddled up close to him.

"Have you been worrying about Tsuki, our seem a lot calmer now then you were before"

"I not worried, I'm sure Celty and Shinra are doing fine with him. He is our son after all, he'll be fine no matter what life throws at him" Izaya began to wonder what type of people Tsuki would be interested in when he got older. The idea scared him a little, having to see his son grow up. He knew he really shouldn't think about that, Tsuki was just a baby after all.

Izaya looked at the sky once more as the sun gave of its last few glimmers of light. The raven realized how he had seen sun set so many times now. As the darkness took over it seemed to cast a shadow over everything, a form of depression in a way. Izaya understood that feeling. He had spent so many years in a sadistic cycle of life that seemed to have no end. Except it had ended, with Shizuo and with Tsuki. Then the moon came out, the bright pure light illuminated everything and even though it was dark, it was comforting. Izaya began to feel very tired as if the darkness just instantly made him tired, he almost wanting to fall asleep right there. Shizuo saw that the raven was drifted and figured it was time to head home "Come on Izaya let's get going. You better not fall asleep on the way there"

"I won't, I'm only a little tired" Izaya said as they began to walk. Izaya really wanted to get home so he could get Tsuki to go to sleep if Shinra and Celty weren't able to. Izaya began to get more and more worried as they approached the apartment. "I hope Tsuki wasn't a handful"

"He's a god boy besides he's very quiet. You said it yourself, he is our son"

"Our son. If someone told me that a year ago I'd laugh and say 'Me breed with that brute, ha! Actually that wouldn't be so bad, if we could breed I bet our child would be the most monstrous creature ever' but that's the thing Tsuki isn't a monster." Izaya blushed realizing what he was implying "Not that you're a monster, it' just that Tsuki is really calm and quiet considering he's the fortissimo of Ikebukuro's child. Well it's not just you, I'm rather crazy too."

Shizuo patted the raven's head, it made Izaya shut up and made him feel short and tiny. Izaya was about to protest when he saw Shizuo was smiling at him. "You know you're really cute when you blush, I've told you that right"

Izaya shrunk down into his jacket to hide his blush. The night was getting colder now and he came closer to Shizuo. The blondes body heat comforting him. Izaya looked at the sky and saw the leaves gently fall from trees and get caught in the wind.

"I think it's going to rain soon"

"Yeah I think you're right. We better get going" Shizuo grabbed Izaya's hand and pulled him along. He hoped he wasn't hurting the raven by doing this. He looked back and saw Izaya was smiling slightly, even laughing.

The pair entered the apartment complex just when the rain began to fall. The pitter patter of the water drops as they hit the hard cement sidewalk and the soft earth. When Shizuo and Izaya made it to their apartment they saw Celty cradling Tsuki in her arms caringly. Tsuki wasn't asleep yet, he seemed to be distracted by everything around him. He especially seemed to be focusing on Celty's shadows as they swirled in the air. Shinra was sitting on the couch watching Celty lovingly as he usually did. The spectacled doctor noticed the pair and stood up.

"Hey you two, how was the night?" Shinra asked as he approached them.

"Good" Izaya said pulling his sleeve over his hand so the golden ring was visible.

"Hey what's that?" Shinra said getting closer to the raven. He picked up Izaya's hand and stared at the ring. "Finally Shizuo, I was starting to think you wouldn't do it. So I'm invited right?"

"Yeah Shinra of coarse" Izaya said as the doctor dropped his hand.

"Okay then, Celty we got to go. Oh and Shizuo and Izaya are tying the knot"

The dullahan handed Tsuki to Shizuo, the baby giggled when he landed in the blondes are.

(Tying the knot?)

"They're getting married, you can help Izaya with his dress"

Celty went up to Izaya and grabbed his hand. She looked at the ring and her gas formed a small heart around the two. She typed rabidly and showed the screen to Izaya only.

(I think this might be the reason my head was smiling. Ever since you two have been together like this she hasn't stop smiling)

Izaya smiled "Yeah maybe"

The headless woman and the doctor left the apartment and headed to their own home. Izaya took Tsuki from the blonde's arms and cradled him softly. Tsuki's eyes began to flutter and he began to drift. Izaya sat down on the couch where the sound of the rain was heard clearly. In an instant Tsuki was asleep.

"I'll go put him in bed then we can go to sleep alright" Izaya said and was then caught by surprise when he felt Shizuo's lips attacked his neck. "Sh-Shizuo don't I'm holding Tsuki"

Shizuo's warm lips left his neck "Alright, I can wait" Shizuo let the raven go so he could go put Tsuki down to sleep.

When Izaya got back Shizuo grabbed him by the waist and attached his lips onto his neck once more "Shizuo…...s-stop"

"Sorry it's just since you got the stiches I tried my best to keep my hands off of you but now that the stitches are gone..."

Izaya new where this was going and patted the blondes head before leaning in and kissing the blonde on the lips "Fine let's go to the bedroom. Tsuki's a pretty heavy sleeper"

I burned my wrist.

Oh and the beginning came from a Shizaya doujinshis but I don't remember the name.

Funny thing is I like Shizaya doujinshis when they don't have sex. They seem deeper to me that way. Don't get me wrong I like some doujinshis when they do it too.

Speaking of sex, smut next chapter.
