Summary: Izaya has been having headaches lately and when more symptoms appear he decides to go to the hospital. There he gets to hear that he has brain cancer.

Another month had gone by and Izaya was finally able to walk small distances without any help. It would still not be enough to be able to walk through Ikebukuro on his own, but it would at least be enough to send him home. At least he hoped it would. The doctor had said after all that he could leave once he could walk and honestly he was tired of the hospital.

The first time he came here had been in september and now it was already May, not to mention his 25th birthday was tomorrow. They might even send him home as a birthday gift.

Shizuo was going to live with him then, since the doctor wanted him to have someone to watch him at all times. Namie had first been against it, but in the end she accepted it and she would be taking care of him during the day, while Shizuo would do it at other times.

Now that he was able to walk for a bit again, he really wanted to go to the rooftop on his own, but the question was if he would be able to.

He could always try right? He couldn't walk fast yet, but he would definitely come there if he really wanted to.

Taking the blankets off he slowly turned around in the bed till he could touch the ground with his feet. He slipped on some slippers and then slowly pushed himself from the bed to a standing position.

Now that he was standing he stretched for a bit before slowly walking out the room. Out of the room he looked around if there was anyone watching him leave, but when he didn't see anyone he kept walking as fast as he could to the elevator.

After taking the elevator he found himself all alone on the roof, no one was there. Izaya was fine with him being here alone, there would be no one to see him like this and no one to ask what he had.

There was a soft breeze blowing and it felt good to be out of his room for once or even out of the building for that matter.

He walked over to the railing and leaned on it while looking down at the people walking there. It had been awhile since he had been able to look down on people like this, but he hadn't really missed it.

He didn't trust people as much anymore and looking at them wasn't as satisfactory any longer. He was mostly interested in Shizuo now, since he felt like he was the only one he could completely trust.

Izaya didn't know how long he had been up here, but he could hear someone approaching from behind after a while. He recognized the footsteps as Shizuo's since he had heard them too many times already that he couldn't forget them.

"Shizu-chan, what are you doing here?" Izaya said without turning round.

"You weren't in your room, so your doctor asked me to look for you since he wanted to discuss your discharge." Shizuo answered to which Izaya turned around to look at him.

"Did he mention when?" Izaya asked.

"No, but I think it will be soon, so let's go back alright?" Shizuo said.

"Sure." Was all Izaya said before he walked back to the elevator to go back to his room.

Once back in the room they saw the doctor waiting for them.

"There you are Orihara-san, I was already wondering where you had gone to." The doctor said as a greeting.

"I just went to rooftop." Izaya answered curtly. "So what was it you wanted to talk about?" Izaya walked over to his bed and said down on it while looking at the doctor.

"I wanted to tell you that you can be discharged tomorrow." The doctor announced and Izaya nodded at that. "Seems like tomorrow's your birthday too, so it can be a birthday gift if you see it that way." Izaya honestly hated the business smile the doctor was putting on right now.

"It's just a birthday." Even though he said that he honestly felt relieved that he had made it to 25. His life could have ended before he had even gotten the chance to reach it, but seems like he had been lucky enough.

"You need to still visit the physiotherapist and the psychiatrist, but besides that you're free to do what you want." The doctor said and then stood up and left the two of them alone in the room.

"So you're getting discharged tomorrow?" Shizuo said with a slight smile.

"Seems like it." Izaya said.

"Shall we celebrate it together with your birthday? We could go to Russia Sushi." Shizuo proposed and that made Izaya smile a little.

"Sure, I want to go there too and afterwards we can go back to my home." Izaya said.

"Alright, I will make sure to have my stuff there already, so I should better go, see you tomorrow." Shizuo said and then left Izaya alone in his room.

The next day came pretty quickly and Izaya was packing his last stuff when Shizuo came inside the room.

"Are almost ready to go?" Shizuo asked. Izaya had already signed the right papers, so he was free to go as soon as he was finished.

"Yeah, just packing the last things." Izaya said before grabbing the last thing before putting it in the back and closing it. He wanted to pick it up himself, but before he could Shizuo had already grabbed the handle and lifted it off the ground.

"I could have carried it." Izaya pouted, but he knew Shizuo wouldn't allow it.

"I will carry it, you focus on walking to Russia Sushi." The blonde said and Izaya could only nod at that.

"Shall we go then?" Izaya said before walking out of the room and not much later out of the hospital.

"I hope I will never have to stay there for that long again." Izaya said. The last time had been around half a year that he had had to stay and he definitely wasn't planning on letting that happen again.

"I hope so too, since I definitely didn't like you being in there for so long." Shizuo said and Izaya felt his face heat up a bit at those words.

"Let's just go to Russia sushi." Izaya mumbled and walked on till they were finally there.

"Izaya, Shizuo, good to see you." Simon's voice sounded.

"Good to see you too Simon." Izaya said and Shizuo nodded.

"Are you here to eat Sushi?" The russian asked.

"Yeah, we are, we're celebrating." Shizuo answered and Izaya send him a glare at that. Why did the blonde have to mention that?

"Celebrating? Then you need to eat sushi." Simon said and motioned for the two of them to get inside.

"Can we have a private room?" Izaya decided to ask and Simon nodded before leading them to a room.

Once inside the room, Izaya said down on one side while Shizuo said down on the other after placing the bag down.

"Same order as always?" Simon asked.

"Yeah, for me Otoro." Izaya answered and Shizuo just nodded.

"I will be back with your orders shortly then." The russian said before leaving the two of them alone.

"You didn't need to tell him that we're celebrating." Izaya said.

"I thought he could know." Shizuo mumbled.

"Luckily he didn't ask what we were celebrating."

"We could have just told him that it's your birthday." Shizuo said, but Izaya didn't really want to tell anyone about his birthday or the discharge. Only the people who knew that he was in the hospital needed to know.

"We could have, but I would rather not." Izaya said a bit irritated. Before anyone could say anything more the door opened and Simon walked in with the sushi.

"You two shouldn't be fighting." Simon said before leaving.

The two of them didn't say anything more, but just ate in silence.

Once they had finished eating they had gone back to Izaya's apartment. Now they were inside and Shizuo had placed the back down.

"I'm going to shower first." Izaya said and left the blonde in the living room while heading to the bathroom.

Stepping inside he stripped his clothes off and started the shower before stepping inside. The warm water that hit his skin felt good and he felt honestly glad that he was finally back in his own home. No doctors or nurses that were watching him all day long. He could do what he wanted himself.

Closing his eyes, he didn't notice the door opening and closing. He didn't notice the footsteps closing in on him either.

Suddenly Izaya felt a presence near him and he opened his eyes to look who it was. His heart racing, afraid that it was someone he didn't know, but his heartbeat only quickened when he saw a naked Shizuo standing there.

"Can I join you?" Izaya didn't know what to say, so he only nodded slowly, stepping aside a bit before letting the blonde in.

"Why did you come here?" Izaya asked and looked up at the blonde now standing before him.

"I wanted to shower with you." Shizuo said and Izaya could see a slight blush appearing on the blonde's face.

"You mean you wanted to see me naked?" A small smirk had appeared on Izaya's face.

"I guess." Shizuo wanted to look away, but Izaya prevented it by grabbing his face and dragging him down before he could kiss the blonde on the lips.

At first it was a soft kiss, but soon Shizuo deepened the kiss and pressed his tongue past Izaya's lips. Izaya allowed him to and opened his mouth while putting his tongue in too.

A small moan escaped Izaya's lips and he could already feel his knees getting weak. He would have probably collapsed if the blonde hadn't just put his arms around him.

"Shizu-chan, I don't want to do it here." Izaya said between kisses and as an answer Shizuo turned off the shower and picked the informant up.

"Let me down Shizu-chan! I can walk." But Shizuo just ignored him and took him to the bedroom before placing him on top of it. Izaya wanted to tell him to get dry, but decided against it once the blonde started kissing him again.
