Strong hands gripped his thighs and pulled, Izaya was powerless to resist and his legs fell open leaving him vulnerable. He gasped lightly as those hands trailed over his inner thighs leaving goosebumps in their wake. The man between his legs smirked and placed a kiss to his knee

"Beg for it~"

Izaya squirmed, he felt hazy and overwhelmed. He felt like he was melting. The words tumbled out of him before he could even consider what he was saying

"Please, oh god! I need it!"

Fingers dug harder into his thighs and Izaya gasped. The man laughed lightly

"Good boy."

The a hot, heavenly mouth closed over his erection and Izaya whimpered, his hands flew to soft hair and the man hummed around him. Izaya's hips twitched and he couldn't help the strangled shout he let out. The man's head bobbed up and down around him and Izaya keened.

"Oh, please! Please let me come! T-tell me what to do! I-I need to come!"

The man pulled away just as Izaya was teetering on the edge and Izaya almost sobbed, thighs clenching and fingers tightening in his soulmates hair. The man pulled him into a gentle kiss that left Izaya quaking. A hand suddenly wrapped around his member and a gentle tug was all it took.

"Come."

Izaya woke with a shout, sheets sticky around him. Shame followed almost immediately, this was unacceptable. He hadn't had a wet dream since high school and even then he'd never came in his sleep. This soul mate mark was already the worst thing that ever happened to him and it was only day 2.

He got up to head to the shower it occurred to him that the man in his dream had seemed very familiar, it was almost on the tip of his tongue but the dream was fading fast and he'd really rather not dwell on it either way. He took a quick, cold shower to wash himself then stripped the bedding for the washer.

By the time he was done and could finally work he'd arrived at his desk just in time for his phone to ring. Izaya picked up the phone with slight trepidation (what if it was his soul mate?), but not working was out of the question.

"Hello?"

Shiki's voice came over the line.

"I have a job for you."

Izaya smiled

"What can I do for you Shiki-san?"

Izaya heard the telltale flick of a lighter through the phone and then an intake of air

"Meet my car outside in 10 minutes."

Izaya nodded even though Shiki couldn't see it

"Will do Shiki-san!"

And almost immediately he heard the dial tone of Shiki hanging up. Izaya sighed

"Always so abrupt."

He was very relieved to know Shiki wasn't his soul mate, he'd felt nothing unusual during the conversation.

'Plus the man in my dream was stronger than Shiki...'

The thought came unbidden and images from the dream flashed through his mind. Izaya trembled slightly and felt a pulse of heat in his groin. He grit his teeth and forced the thoughts away. He did not need another erection when he had only ten minutes to prepare to meet Shiki.

He gathered his phones and jacket and checked the time, he had five minutes. The rest of the time was spent going through the forums until Shiki pulled up in front of his door and Izaya left the building to join him. Once they'd pulled away from the curb Shiki spoke

"It seems we have a traitor within our ranks."

Izaya raised an eyebrow but waited for Shiki to continue

"Confidential information has been leaked to places it shouldn't have been. You are to find the rat without alerting him that we're on to him."

Izaya nodded, nothing he hadn't done before

"Is there a time limit?"

Shiki frowned

"As soon as possible but I understand if it takes a little, he's a good rat at the very least."

Izaya nodded again.

"I accept then~ I'll keep you updated on my findings."

Shiki nodded his head

"Do that. Payment will be discussed afterwords, as always."

The car pulled over to the side of the road to let Izaya out.

Izaya opened the door to get out

"Thank you for the opportunity Shiki-san~!"

Shiki just nodded and Izaya shut the door. Izaya watched them drive away then turned to see where he'd been dropped off this time. He wasn't surprised to be in Ikebukuro. Absently he started in the direction of Russia Sushi. He'd pick up some fatty tuna then head home to begin research on the rat. He never got there.

He barely dodged a stop sign that hit the ground near him and turned to face Shizuo with a grin

"Ne~ I thought I sensed a monster."

Shizuo glared

"I thought I told you to stay out of my city, Flea."

Izaya sighed and shook his head dramatically

"And I keep telling you that it's not your city at all. I guess you're to stupid to comprehend that though."

Shizuo growled and prowled forward

"Shut the fuck up you stupid louse!"

And then it happened, the band on his neck sparked suddenly and what felt like a vice sank into his throat. Izaya's jaw dropped in surprise and he faltered, that was all it took before Shizuo had him pinned to the wall behind him.

Izaya blinked rapidly to recover as Shizuo's grin turned manic.

"I finally caught you you shitty flea."

Izaya tried to say something condescending in return but the strange tightness in his throat turned into acute pain. His face twisted and he fumbled for his knife. Shizuo looked confused at the pain and panic on Izaya's face but his confusion fell away in the face of fresh rage as Izaya stabbed his arm.

Shizuo released Izaya out of instinct and Izaya was up and running before Shizuo had a chance to recover. Shizuo gave chase. It was a new experience to be chased by Shizuo without being able to taunt him. The knowledge of why was a lead weight in his chest and he felt nauseous at even the thought. He lost Shizuo as quickly as possible and went straight home.

He sat on his couch with his head in his hands and tried not to be sick. This was a disaster, nothing could be worse than this. That disgusting dream from earlier kept flashing through his head and no matter how hard he tried not a word would escape his lips. He took a shaky breath and reached for his phone, Shinra seemed his only option at this point. He sent Shinra a text and took another dose of pain pills, his throat was burning and his head was aching. Fate was a bitch.
