"Y-you want to?" Izaya said and he pulled himself into a sitting position, wincing slightly.
"Hm?" Shizuo noticed Izaya's expression.
"So.. You.. Want to?" he asked again when he didn't get an answer from Shizuo.
"Yes, of course"
Izaya smiled, happy that Shizuo wanted to. Well, he kinda knew that Shizuo liked him after all they had been doing, but the little things always made Izaya happy. [Wait.. This will be our first shower together!]
"Well?" Shizuo rose from the bed. "I guess we should take the sheets off.. they're pretty.. dirty" he chuckled a bit, standing there completely naked.
"Yeah" he chuckled. "And I just changed them before you got here" he fake pouted as he slowly and carefully crawled of the bed, stretching as he stood.
"I think you'll survive" he smiled. "I guess you can fix that and I'll go get the shower ready" he said, heading out of the door.
"Lazy brute" he smiled and began changing the sheets.
Shizuo turned the water on in the shower cabin; it was ice cold at first but turned warm short after.
"Shizu-chan? I brought your bag. Your clothes are in here right?" he said as he placed his own clothes on the toilet and put the bag beside the sink; he began to open the bag.
"Ah! No no no.." he chuckled and stopped Izaya. "I'll find my clothes" he took the bag away from Izaya.
"Eh?" Now Izaya was confused.
"Never mind" he smiled. [Damn that was close..]
"You're weird" he remarked as he slid the door to the shower open and stepped in, letting the hot water fall down his head; making his hair wet and trail down his body.
"You're weirder than me" he chuckled and stepped in the shower cabin with Izaya; he slid the door closed and pushed Izaya a bit aside. "Don't use all the warm water!".
"There's plenty" he assured him and rested his head against Shizuo's chest.
"Pff.. I hope so" he placed a hand on Izaya's lower back.
"Nn.. There is. Don't worry"
"Right"
"Want me to wash your hair?" Izaya asked.
"Yeah" he smiled.
He moved away from Shizuo and bent down to grab the shampoo. "Hn.." he let out as it hurt to bend down fully, but he got the shampoo and opened the bottle.
"Does it hurt?"
"Yeah.." he admitted and squeezed some of the bottle's contents into the palm of his hand.
"From earlier?" he frowned.
"Yes" he said and closed the bottle before bending down again, frowning. He then rubbed his hands together.
"I'm sorry.."
"It's not your fault" he smiled and stood on his toes to reach Shizuo's head better; he began rubbing the shampoo gently into his hair.
"Still.." he squeezed his eyes shut, as to not get soap in the eyes.
"It's alright, Shizu-chan. I don't mind" he assured him, gently rubbing at his scalp as he spread the liquid in the blonde hair. Shizuo didn't say much, just felt how Izaya spread the shampoo in his hair.
"Can't you sit down? It hurts to stretch this way and you're too tall" he chuckled and removed his hands.
"Sure.." he sat down, still had his eyes closed.
Izaya sat down too, behind Shizuo, standing on his knees and resumed rubbed the shampoo into the other's hair. When he thought it was enough he took the showerhead and turned the water on. With that, he titled Shizuo's head back a bit and started washing the soap out of his hair; running his fingers gently through the hair and rubbing at the scalp.
"You wanna be a hairdresser when you finish at Raira?" Shizuo chuckled.
"Shush... Or I might 'accidently' tug your hair..."
"I'm just saying it feels good"
"Really?"
"Yeah.."
"I-I'm glad your enjoying it..." he said shyly and smiled. "Maybe we should do this more often?"
"Hm.. maybe"
"Just 'maybe'?" he pouted.
"Well.. Maybe this'll happen again" he chuckled.
"Sure" he rolled his eyes and finished off. "I think that's it" he said as he sat down on his legs and held the showerhead to his own body to get some warmth.
"Thanks" he smiled. "Let me help you" he took the shampoo bottle and squeezed some of its contents in his palm. He closed the bottle and nuzzled the fluid in between his hands. He rubbed it into Izaya's hair, gently nuzzling his scalp. "Turn the water off".
Izaya had closed his eye, lifting one hand to turn off the water and succeeded. He put the showerhead down on the floor and just enjoyed the attention he was getting.
As Shizuo rubbed the shampoo in the hair he started playing with it. He formed cat ears in the wet, soap-filled hair. "So cute" he chuckled.
"Hm?"
"You look cute with cat ears" he smiled.
"Eh? What are you doing, Shizu-chan?"
"Giving you cat ears"
"W-what? You really are strange..."
Shizuo chuckled a bit but took the showerhead and turned the water on. He tilted Izaya's head backwards, making sure he wouldn't get water in the eyes, he rinsed Izaya's hair. As he watched how the soap floated out of Izaya's hair, he dragged his fingers through the soft and wet hair.
"Mmm.." he purred. "You're right. It feels kinda good" he paused. "I didn't know Shizu-chan could be that gently."
"Eh? Of course I can be gentle.." he pouted.
"Seems like it" he smiled.
Shizuo finished up with Izaya's hair and sprayed the water into Izaya's face instead of. "Whoops" he grinned.
"Ah, Shizu-chan!" Izaya exclaimed and put his hands in front of his face, trying to get the showerhead from Shizuo's hand.
"Ah ahhh" he chuckled and moved the showerhead out of Izaya's reach; he kept spraying the water into his face.
"Stop it, Shizu-chan!"
"Not fun?" he grinned and pointed the showerhead away from Izaya.
"Nouu.." he said and rubbed the water from his eyes.
"Aww.." he mocked.
"You're such a bully" he chuckled.
"Only towards you"
"So I'm special?"
"Sure are"
"Thank you... You're special to me too..." he said looking down.
Shizuo smiled. "Let's finish up, okay? I've got something for you" he rose from the floor and put the showerhead back where it belonged.
"Hm?" he questioned him, holding out a hand to Shizuo. Shizuo took the outstretched hand and pulled Izaya up to his feet. Izaya whimpered a bit but it didn't hurt that bad because he was pulled to his feet. "shower gel"
"Yeah yeah.." Shizuo took the bottle with the shower gel and squeezed some in his hand; nuzzling it in his palms. He started rubbing it into his own skin; everywhere.
Izaya took it after Shizuo and did the same. He turned it on and washed his body. "Shizu-chan... Please, stop looking at me like that..." he blushed as he noticed the blonde staring at him while he washed the soap off his body.
"What? You're sexy. Can't help it" he shrugged and kept staring.
"Eh? Y-you think so?" he blushed.
"Yeah.."
"T-thanks... Umm.. I'm done" he said and moved to make room for Shizuo.
"Really?" he went in under the water and swiftly pulled Izaya in; holding him close to his body. Izaya stood with his back against Shizuo's chest.
"Eh?"
"Not quite" the shower gel floating its way over onto Izaya as the water poured over them.
"Shizu-chan... The soap is getting on me..."
"That's the point" he placed a hand on Izaya's abdomen, slowly moving down to his crotch. He snuggled his face into the flea's neck.
"Shi-Shizu-chan!" he exclaimed, grabbing Shizuo's wrist.
"Hm?"
"We already did i-it..."
"I'm only caressing" he whispered.
"O-okay" Izaya gulped and let go of the wrist.
Shizuo gently caressed Izaya's skin as the water ran down his naked body. Izaya began leaning against Shizuo and closed his eyes.
"Mm.." Shizuo smiled and ran his hand down over Izaya's member.
"Nn.." he moaned in pleasure. "Wh-, wait, you, Shizu-chan!"
"What" he breathed out.
"You said only caressing.."
"I am..." he removed his hand from Izaya's crotch.
"Really? Cause it feels more like you're trying to make me h-hard when you're touching me there.."
"That's your own fault. I'm just caressing" he paused. "Ah... so I can turn you on just by touching you?" he grinned.
"Eh? N-no.."
"You just said it" he chuckled.
"That depends on w-where you're touching..."
"Aha.." he backed away from Izaya and turned the water off. "Oh well, the cake, right?" he said as he stepped out of the shower cabin, grabbed a towel and began to dry himself.
"Oh, yeah.. I forgot" Izaya followed and took another towel, drying his own body off.
"Tch.." Shizuo snorted and found some fresh clothes from his bag and put them on.
Izaya finished up first and went to get the cake. He found some blue frosting cream and wrote Merry Christmas on the cake. "There"
Shizuo followed short after and looked at the cake. "Looks delicious" he smiled.
"Yeah... I agree" he nodded and took the cake, putting it in the fridge.
"Aww, you're putting it away?"
"We'll eat it after dinner" he chuckled.
"Aww.." he pouted.
"You'll get plenty later. Don't worry"
"Fine" he grinned. "Come" he motioned Izaya to follow him into the living room.
"Hm? What now?" he asked curiously as he followed the blonde.
As they entered the living room Shizuo asked Izaya to sit down on the couch, and so he did. "As I said before.. I've got something for you" he smiled and looked in his bag for the 'thing'.
Izaya leaned sideways, trying to see what Shizuo was doing. "Hm?"
Shizuo pulled a gift out of his bag; it was a bit soft. "Here" he handed Izaya the gift. "Merry Christmas.. I guess" he looked away.
"Eh? A present? Thank you, Shizu-chan!" he said with a wide smile on his face and gladly accepted the gift. "Ah, I wonder what it is" he said in a happy tone and began taking the ribbon and paper off.
"I hope it's alright..." he shrugged and sat down beside Izaya.
Izaya ripped the paper off and found some black fabric inside. He took it out and recognized it to be a light jacket. A black jacket, with fur at the hoodie, end of the sleeves and at the bottom. His eyes went wide and his smile grew; eyes shining like diamonds. "Shizu-chan!" He exclaimed happily as he quickly rose from the couch only to hiss a bit at the pain he felt from rising too quickly, but ignored it and tried the jacket on. It fit perfectly.
"Is it... okay?" he looked at the happy flea. "Suits you quite good, actually" he chuckled.
"I love it!" he sang and fell down on Shizuo's lap, wrapping his arms around the blonde's neck and kissed his lips. "It's perfect!"
"You're welcome" he smiled at the happy raven.
"Actually... I've got something for you too" he started, his smile never fading.
Shizuo frowned. "For me?"
"Yes!" he said and carefully stood up from Shizuo's lap. "I'll be back in a minute" he said as he went out to get Shizuo's present. Less than a minute later, he came back with a soft present in his hands. It was wrapped in pink paper with a red ribbon.
"Pink? Izaya..." Shizuo sighed but chuckled.
"Yes! I thought you liked pink" he mocked. "Sorry, sorry, I really couldn't help it. It's the paper I usually use for my sisters presents and when I saw it I just couldn't help but use it" he chuckled. Shizuo shook his head at Izaya's failed joke.
"Hm? Not funny?"
"You're weird" he smiled.
"You're not opening your present"
"Sorry.." he took the present and started unwrapping the paper. He halted as he touched the actual present. "Silky?" he frowned and pulled a vest out. He put it beside him and pulled the rest out. He rose from the couch to look at the clothing. A black silky vest, black jeans, a plain white shirt and a black bowtie. "Bartender clothes.." he chuckled. "You bought me bartender clothes" he laughed.
"H-hey! You've talked about how you have nothing 'proper' to wear... And you said you didn't like suits and such.. So.. I thought that this would fit you more?" he blushed.
"It's probably a lot more comfortable than those stupid suits" he nodded. "Thanks" he pulled Izaya in for a kiss.
"Do you even like it?" he asked nervously.
"Yeah, I actually like it.." he smiled.
"You sure?" he asked again.
"Yes.." he assured Izaya.
Izaya smiled at that. "I'm happy about this jacket too!"
"Good.. it suits you!"
"Really?" he said happily as he stood up and spun around in circles, making the jacket fly a bit to the sides.
"You're acting like a girl" Shizuo chuckled at the sight.
"Eh? No I'm not... Hey, try yours on!"
"What?" Shizuo frowned.
"Try the clothes on" his smile widened.
"Mhmm.. thought I heard you say that" he sighed. Shizuo pulled his shirt over his head and put it on the couch; his pants following short after. He slipped into the black silk jeans and looked down at them. "They fit perfectly" he mumbled. The white shirt was taken on, he started buttoning it. When that was done he stuck the hem of the shirt down his jeans and adjusted the collar.
"I'm impressed you even know how to wear it" Izaya chuckled.
"I do have a brain" he sighed. He took the vest and held it in his hands, ready to put it on but was interrupted by Izaya.
Izaya took the vest and went behind Shizuo. His arms were pulled in one after the other and Izaya pulled the vest up to rest at his shoulders. He dragged a hand from Shizuo's shoulder down his strong spine and dragged it across his hip as he went to stand in front of him.
"Eh?" Shizuo blinked in surprise, feeling Izaya's delicate touch.
He grabbed the bottom button and began buttoning the vest. Once buttoned he slid both hands from the top of the vest down to the hem and tugged a bit in it to make it more straight.
"Errr.. I could do that by myself.."
"But I wanted to.."
"Tch" Shizuo snorted. "I suppose you want to take care of the bowtie too?"
"Of course" he said in a happy tone and unpacked the bowtie from its small box. "It's not one you have to tie yourself. I made it easy for you, ne?" he chuckled and put the bowtie around Shizuo's neck, placing it under the lapel of the shirt; he adjusted the size.
Shizuo watched Izaya's hands fiddle around with the bowtie. He stuck his hands in his jeans. "I'm glad these jeans have pockets" he chuckled.
"Sure you are. You always have your hands in your pockets, ne?" He found the right size and attached the two ends. He adjusted it so it sat just perfectly. "There" he said and folded the lapel back down. He then went behind the blonde and adjusted the lapel to make it look good.
"Done?" he looked over his shoulder.
"Pretty much" he smiled. Taking a few steps back, he took a good look at the blonde from behind. His shoulders. His back. His butt... And his legs. "Hot.." he mumbled to himself without realizing it.
"Eh?" Shizuo took his hands out of his pockets and turned to look at Izaya. "What?"
"Eh? Ah, n-nothing" he smiled. "You look good.. Really good..."
Shizuo looked down at himself, twisting and turning his body to look a bit at his back. "You think so?"
"Yeah... You're.. Hot.." he choked at the last word, finding it embarrassing, he blushed.
"I'm hot, huh?" Shizuo grinned, looking at the blushing flea.
"Y-yeah.."
"Thanks.. I guess. Looks like I'll have to be careful around girls from now on then" he winked at Izaya.
"Eh? I won't let them have you..." he pouted slightly.
"Of course you won't.. Come" he motioned Izaya to come over to him.
"Hm?" he said and hesitated before he went to stand in front of the blonde. He wondered what Shizuo was thinking. Hell, Shizuo might as well be thinking about molesting him! But how could he resist Shizuo when he stood there all hot and handsome in bartender clothes?
Shizuo gently placed a hand on Izaya's chin, lifting it upwards. Shizuo smiled at the flea and leaned down to kiss his lips.
"W-why?" Izaya asked as Shizuo pulled back.
"Why?" he frowned. "Why what?"
"So suddenly.."
"Not your style?" Shizuo let go of Izaya's chin and smiled weakly at him.
"Never said that"
He quickly smiled but it soon faded away. "Thanks for the clothes"
"Eh? You're welcome" he glared at Shizuo's expression trying to figure out what just happened. [What are you thinking?]
Shizuo sat down on the couch. "People are starting to notice.." was all he said; a sudden change of subject.
"Eh?" Izaya sat down next to Shizuo.
"You heard me" he paused. "Shinra told me"
"So... Shinra knows?"
"Yes, your little prank..." he stopped. "He saw what you wrote on my back.."
"Oh... That.. So.." he paused. "So what if people knows.."
Shizuo snapped his gaze over to Izaya. "So what?" he repeated.
"Yes.. Does it matter?" he said looking down at his hands which were resting on his lap.
"I'm not sure if I'm ready to let others know about us.."
"Then... We'll just try and keep it hidden for as long as possible.."
Shizuo sent Izaya a little smile. But Izaya didn't see it. He was a little sad that Shizuo wanted to keep it hidden. If people were noticing, it wouldn't really matter, right?
"Look.." Shizuo sighed. He hid his face in his hands and then let the hands fall down onto his lap; he bent forward, resting his weight on his elbows. He looked back over at Izaya. "I guess..." he paused. "It's probably about time I told my mom though..." he looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Eh?" now that made Izaya happy. It was much more important that family knew and to Izaya, that was a great signal telling Izaya that Shizuo wanted him. A smile formed on Izaya's face. "Yeah.. She doesn't know you're.. You know.. That you like men..." he said as he moved as close as possible and put his elbow on his knee, resting his head in his hand while his other hand began gently stroking Shizuo's back for comfort.
Shizuo chuckled. "That's right" he looked down at his hands and weaved his fingers, feeling a bit uneasy about the thought of telling his mom about him and Izaya.
"Do you want me to be there? Well.. I kinda would like to if it's okay with you.." he said still stroking the blonde's back. He could tell that he was already nervous about it.
"Well.. I was just thinking that we could tell her New Years Eve" he smiled.
"Okay. Deal?"
"Deal"
"Shizu-chan" he said gently and nuzzled his cheek against Shizuo's shoulder, while grabbing Shizuo's hand -with the hand his head was resting on - to still it.
Shizuo firstly looked down at the hands but then at Izaya. "I'm okay.." he smiled.
"You're nervous"
"I'll be okay..." he sighed.
"If you say so.. But.. You know I'm here when you need me, ne?"
"I know. Thanks"
"Anytime"
