"Happy Birthday, Shizu-chan!" Izaya grinned leaning over his face.

Shizuo sighed covering a growl. "What do you want?" He was already sliding out of bed the other way and heading for the kitchen. No cake and no breakfast. It was a miracle the damn flea had decided to show up.

"You're not happy to see me?" Izaya whined following him. "I remembered your birthday."

Shizuo scowled. "When are you going back to watching over your humans?" His tone was bitter but seeing Izaya always messed with his moods.

"After your birthday is over." Izaya grinned kissing his cheek. Shizuo shivered moving away. "I didn't get you a present so choose what you'd like."

Shizuo's scowl grew. "You know what I want."

Izaya's red eyes flashed. "Pick something else."

"No." Shizuo grumbled. He'd been patient but he'd had enough. There was only so many birthdays he could put up with. "I've chosen my present."

Izaya leaned forward caressing his cheek. Shizuo shivered backing away. "Shizu-chan..."

"I can't do this anymore, flea." Shizuo growled fists clenched. No matter what happened something had to change. "Get back in your fucking body!"

Izaya shrugged kicking his legs up and floating around the apartment. "But it's boring. I'm immortal Shizu-chan. No one can touch me."

Shizuo sighed. "Yeah. No one can touch you. Get back in your body."

Izaya scowled just like he had last year. "No."

"Then piss off." Shizuo snapped. A cold wind blew through the apartment and Izaya was gone.

Shizuo put his fist through the counter. Seeing Izaya had been an expected surprise. The flea only visited him on holidays and his birthday. What pissed him off was that he saw the flea too, everyday laying in the same damn hospital bed with the same damn wires connecting to all sorts of machines.

He watched the world Izaya had left behind and the effect it had on Izaya's friend and family. What they didn't know was that Izaya was zipping around like some sort of stalker god. Selfish.

Not that he could say anything. Shizuo had tried and through everyone's grief, they had comforted him offering support and help. Shinra had prescribed pills that he hadn't taken and had been classified as depressed and hallucinating. Izaya had laughed his ass off at that. Despite being together, the damn flea enjoyed the freedom too much and watching over his humans. Shizuo looked around and sighed. His birthday visit might have just ended early.

Izaya popped up floating beside him as he walked to work. "Still working for Tom-san?"

Shizuo ignored his awol boyfriend catching up with his old friend and boss. "Morning." He grumbled. Tom smiled joining him.

"Happy birthday."

"Hey!" Izaya protested as Tom kissed him. Shizuo kissed back letting his boss embrace him, cupping his head and using tongue. "What are you doing to my Shizu-chan?" Izaya's fingers chilled him but he didn't break away.

Eventually Tom pulled away. "Well I guess we should be getting to work. We've got a grumpy one today."

Shizuo nodded closing his eyes as he walked through the flea's spirit. Izaya looked angry persistent in flitting around and demanding what was going on.

"Shizuo, you free tonight?" Tom asked at his side.

"Shizu-chan already has plans." Izaya announced. He was the only one that heard and ignored.

"I already promised Kadota I'd spend it with him."

"Dotachin?" Izaya got in his face. "Why would you be spending the night with Dotachin?"

"I see," Tom looked relieved "I thought you would be going to the hospital."

Shizuo shrugged lighting up a cigarette. Izaya didn't like that. "No point. The selfish fucker isn't going to wake up any time soon."

"I hear they're thinking of pulling his life support?"

"What?" Izaya screeched. "Shizu-chan, what's happening?"

Shizuo sighed pulling his phone from his pocket. Shinra. "Sorry Tom, Shinra needs to see me. Can you wait for a bit?"

"Your meds again? Still seeing Izaya?"

"Thought I saw him this morning." Shizuo confided. "I took my pills. Haven't seen him since."

"I'm right here, Shizu-chan!" Izaya floated through him.

Shizuo bit back a curse and shivered. Tom sighed wrapping an arm around him and pulling him close. "Remind me to buy you a jacket. This isn't the weather for a bartender uniform."

Shizuo nodded. "You don't need to buy me-"

"Kasuka then." Tom said. "Get him to buy you one."

"Hey. Shizu-chan! Look at me." Izaya whined grabbing his face.

Shizuo shivered again looking straight through Izaya. "Well maybe in the meantime you can warm me up?"

Izaya's eyes bulged. "Whaaat? No! What are you doing Shizu-chan?"

Tom smiled glancing towards the nearest love hotel and offered a hand. Shizuo blushed. "Later. I have to see Shinra."

"Not later! Not never!" Izaya shouted. "You're mine, Shizu-chan! Do you hear me? Mine!"

Shizuo broke away from Tom and headed for the illegal doctor. Izaya kept with him cursing and poking at him for kissing Tom. "Are you sleeping with him? That's it, isn't it? Did you cheat on me?"

"Shizuo!" Shinra grinned. "Happy birthday. My beloved is just getting a cake for you but pretend you don't know." Shizuo nodded following Shinra into the back room. "How are the meds? Still seeing Izaya?"

"Of course you're still seeing me." Izaya grinned though his eyes were full of worry.

"I missed my pills last night so I saw him this morning." Shizuo sighed.

"Shizuo..." Shinra eased him down into the small operating bed. "You know it's not possible, right?"

Shizuo nodded. "I know. I took my pills. It's alright now."

Izaya frowned "you can't see me? Shizu-chan, stop playing around!"

Shinra touched his face sliding a hand under his shirt. Izaya yelped in shock. "Well I wonder what he would say if he could see this."

Shizuo shrugged tilting his head to meet Shinra's. "I don't care. Once the doctors switch off the life support he won't have long left."

"I'm right here!" Izaya went through him again.

"Then your heart will finally be able to rest?" Shinra asked.

Shizuo nodded kissing Izaya's friend. "I think it already has."

Shinra grinned kissing him back. Slow methodical. "Does this mean you choose me?"

Shizuo leaned back allowing Shinra to press him down.

"No! Nononono!" Izaya grabbed at Shinra but his hands went straight through. "Get off my Shizu-chan!"

Shizuo unbuttoned the first one on his shirt. Izaya's gaze narrowed. He did the next and then the next until his shirt fell open. "I thought I was here for a checkup?" He asked smoothing a hand down the front of his pants. Shinra and Izaya gulped.

"Mmhm." Shinra nodded reaching for him. "I hope you don't mind a prostate exam on your birthday?"

Shizuo unzipped his fly shuffling his pants down. Izaya's eyes bled red. "Don't touch my Shizu-chan!" The instrument tray rolled into the wall, things flew off the bed and around the room.

Shinra stepped back. "What was that?"

"The wind?" Shizuo sighed redressing himself. "Can we do the checkup tomorrow? I need to see everyone else."

Shinra scowled. "The contest for Izaya's replacement isn't over?"

"What?" Izaya demanded. "Contest? What contest? No one can replace me!"

"Almost. It's close between Tom and Kadota."

Shinra deflated. "You don't want to steal me from my beloved?"

Shizuo shrugged "she's my best friend."

"Fine." Shinra sighed. "I don't think the others will be too happy with your decision."

"I'll talk to them."

"This is a joke right, Shizu-chan?" Izaya demanded more stuff going flying.

"Birthday sushi!" Simon grabbed him pulling him into a crushing hug. "Come eat."

"Simon, I- we need to talk." Shizuo groaned pulling out of the man's strong hold.

"Chose me?" Simon grinned carrying him inside.

"No, I-"

"Chose me?" Simon said again carrying him into one of the rooms at the back. Shizuo massaged his ribs as he was set down.

Izaya watched them eyes narrowed. "Another one?"

"No Simon. I'm not choosing you."

The fish seller bowed his head. Shizuo lifted the man's head and kissed him. "Thank you for your feelings."

The man nodded speaking in he guessed Russian. Izaya fumed and the small table went flying tearing through the little room. Shizuo could guess what Simon had said.

x-x-x

"What about me, Shizu-chan?" Izaya flew in his face. "I'm right here!"

Shizuo said nothing checking his phone.

"I know what you're doing. This is so I come back, right?" Izaya scowled.

Shizuo noticed a familiar limo sitting across the other side of the road. As did the flea.

"You're not involved with Shiki." Izaya laughed. "...you're not are you?"

Shizuo walked over and knocked gently on the window. The window rolled down. "Get in." Shiki said.

"No, Shizu-chan. How did you get involved with Shiki-san?" Izaya groaned following him inside.

"Many happy returns." The man in white nodded.

Shizuo blushed sitting on the opposite side. Shiki regarded him lifting his foot out of an expensive shoe and pressing it against his crotch.

"I hear the contest is almost over."

Izaya gaped shaking his head.

Shizuo shivered his legs parting. "Yes." He breathed.

"Am I one of the finalists?" Shiki ground against him using his heel.

"Ah. No-"

"I should be. I've taught you various things." Shiki pressed harder. "You don't think I'd make a good lover?"

Shizuo moaned slouching. Sliding off the seat he found himself on his knees looking up at Shiki like a dog and his master.

"Shizu-chan!" Izaya finally snapped out of his shock. "I thought you weren't a masochist?"

Shizuo waited patiently staring at Shiki. The man drew a finger under his chin. "I joined this contest as a formality. I will have you." The man's words invoked a shiver. "Am I still in the contest?"

Shiki kissed him controlling and demanding. Shizuo relaxed letting the older man take control. Izaya stormed and cursed, the windows smashing. Shizuo ignored the broken glass continuing his kiss with Shiki.

Kadota picked him up trembling and in desperate need. Shiki had worked him into a frenzy and as usual had left him hanging. It was a pain especially when the yakuza had claimed his spot as a finalist. Unfortunately it meant he had to say no to Tom or Kadota, unless he kept it at three.

"Who were you with?" Kadota asked.

"Shiki of all humans." Izaya spat in disgust.

"Shiki." Shizuo groaned climbing into the van. They had an audience because of the driver. "He couldn't take no for an answer."

Kadota sighed downcast. "So you're choosing him?"

"No. It's between Shiki, Tom and you."

"Dotachin, Get away from my Shizu-chan!"

Both of them shivered, Kadota calling for Togusa to turn up the heating. "It's cold huh."

Shizuo shuffled closer into Kadota's warmth. "You offering to warm me up?"

"No!" Izaya shrieked. "You're mine, Shizu-chan."

"I won't stop." Kadota murmured resting a hand against his hip.

Shizuo shrugged "I'm not asking you to."

"No!" Izaya ranted at the same moment Togusa complained about sex in his van.

Kadota gave him a secret smile. "I'll only sleep with you when you've said goodbye to Izaya."

"Hah!" Izaya yelled triumphant. "Shizu-chan will never leave me."

"I already have." Shizuo shrugged.

Kadota shook his head. "I want to see you do it. Say goodbye as they turn his life support off. It's your birthday Shizuo. The moment of rebirth. Let him go."

Shizuo swallowed past the lump forming. "...alright. I'll prove it."

Kadota nodded giving him a smile. "Togusa take us to the hospital."

Shizuo shivered avoiding eye contact with Izaya sitting between them trying to split them up.

x-x-x

Shizuo flinched seeing Izaya hooked up to the machines. It broke his heart seeing his lover so broken. Then he saw Izaya floating nonchalantly at his side and anger flared. Stepping over to the machine he looked down smoothing a thumb against Izaya's cheek. "Good bye flea."

"Shizu-chan? What are you doing?" Izaya shrieked.

Shizuo ripped the wires and tubes from the machine. The machine flatlined. "There, Happy?"

"Happy?" Izaya yelled "you just tried killing me!"

"Yeah." Kadota answered. "You're ready to move on. Come on, I'll give you your gift at mine."

Shizuo blushed walking through Izaya to take Kadota's hand. The hospital room window exploded, Izaya's bed raising in the air before hitting the floor. A nurse rushed in hooking the machine back up again.

The machine beeped steadily and Izaya was gone. "Impossible." He heard the nurse murmur. Shizuo leaned over seeing Izaya's eyelids flutter and then familiar red eyes were staring into his.

"About fucking time." Shizuo grumbled tears rolling down his cheeks.

x-x-x

Izaya was trapped. He'd been free but now he was a prisoner in his own body. His limbs felt foreign and refused to move for him. His mouth wouldn't work. He'd planned to wake up and say happy birthday. Instead he'd drooled over himself and stared blankly like an idiot.

His eyes were the only part of him that would move darting down to see Shizuo fast asleep resting his head on the edge of the bed. It probably wasn't very comfortable, it certainly didn't look it.

The door slid open and in stepped Dotachin, who dared touch his sleeping Shizu-chan and kiss his head. "Shizuo thinks it was a set up to help get you back in your body." Dotachin said looking down at him. "It wasn't. We participated because we all like Shizuo. We'll continue to fight for him. One of us will steal him away from you and you'll be powerless to stop us."

Izaya blinked managing a painful slight shake of his head. No one would take his Shizu-chan from him. But he couldn't do anything as Dotachin gently woke the blond and guided him from the room.
