Sucker love, a box I choose.
No other box I choose to use.
Another love I would abuse,
No circumstances could excuse.

Izaya sat at his desk swiveling his chair absentmindedly as he stared blankly at the computer screen in front of him. Letting out a disappointed sigh, he pushed away from the desk standing as he did so. Boring that was the thought that crossed his mind as he made his way to the front door extremely boring.
"Maybe Shizu-chan can entertain me" Izaya voiced aloud with a smirk as he slipped on his black fur rimmed coat and exited his Shinjuku loft.
A few hours later as he roamed the busy streets of Ikebukuro, Izaya spotted the bleach blond head of the man he was looking for. A wide grin spread across his features as he made his way towards the protozoan.
"Shiiizuuuu-chaaaan!" Izaya called waving at the man as he approached him a smirk turning up the corners of his lips.
Shizuo snapped his head around at the annoying voice. Laying his golden irises upon the informant broker as a scowl marred his features.
"Iiiiizaaayaaaaa!" Shizuo raged picking up the nearest object (which happened to be a trash can) and threw it at the flea.
Izaya easily dodged the object as he pulled out his flick blade from the pocket of his coat. This was going to be fun, he thought stepping forward quickly striking out with his flick blade. His smirk widening as he heard the sound of cloth ripping and felt the slight tug of resistance as the blade sliced through the bodyguards' honeyed skin.
"You're too slow Shizu-chan" the informant cooed into the brutes' ear before quickly dodging the fist being hurled at him.
After a few more objects were ripped from the ground and thrown full force at him, Izaya started running looking behind him as he did so to make sure that the brute was following him.
He was, of course, this was how it always worked. Izaya ran, and Shizuo chased him till one lost sight of the other. But something just wasn't right this time, Izaya wanted something more exciting than this but what exactly would be more exciting than toying with death. The raven pondered as a stop sign whizzed past his head grazing his cheek leaving behind a shallow cut that slowly began to bleed crimson onto his ivory skin.
Izaya narrowed his crimson eyes in thought. Just as he turned into a nearby ally, the thought struck him. What's better than toying with death "loving" an unpredictable monster, he thought with a giggle.
"Hey, Shizu-chan?" Izaya called as he suddenly stopped and turned on his heel to face the fuming monster behind him.
"WHAT!" Shizuo growled out through clenched teeth.
"I have a proposition for you," Izaya informed Shizuo with a playful grin.
Standing straight and dropping the stop sign he was holding. Shizuo tilted his head questioningly at the informant.
"And what exactly is this proposition of yours flea?" Shizuo sighed scratching the back of his head.
"Hee hee don't worry Shizuo you'll quite enjoy it. I'm sure." Izaya giggled walking up to the towering blond monster. A wide grin spread across his face.
"If you let me play one little game with you, I'll be your slave for as long as you like Shizu-chan."
Shizuos' golden eyes widened not expecting such words to leave the flea's mouth in a million years. Something was definitely not right about this and what exactly did he mean by slave.
"Well?" the impatient raven urged poking Shizuo in the chest with his ringed pointer finger.
"First I want to know what the rules of the game are."
"OH, that's simple Shizzy you just have to behave yourself for a whole week."
Shizuo's right eye began to twitch at that. Damn cocky flea, he thought gritting his teeth and doing his best not to just kill the flea right then and there especially when an even greater reward awaited him after this little game was over.
"And by behaving myself you mean?"
"Controlling yourself from attacking me of course," Izaya replied leaning up on his tiptoes poking Shizuo's chest again for the annoying sake of it as that all too familiar smirk played across his lips.
"Fine," Shizuo said pushing the flea away hard enough that the raven landed on his butt with a wince.
"Yay! Game starts tomorrow Shizu-Chan!" Izaya called waving as he watched Shizuos retreating back stalk out of the ally way.
This was going to be fun, Izaya thought as he stood brushing himself off. He couldn't wait to see if the stupid brute would actually keep his word and not fly off the handle the moment he saw him. But of course, that was only the ruse, he used to get the monster to play his real game.
Like the previews before a feature film or the teaser before a story begins. As these thoughts ran through the informants' mind, he began to laugh manically earning strange looks from his lovely humans as he passed them on the street.
