I present the 6th chapter, where things are just getting started... *nudge nudge wink wink*

Enjoy...hehehehe... :D

Izaya looked curiously at Shizuo. What could he be meaning to tell him?

"Are you avoiding me?"

"Oh." was all that came out of Izaya's mouth. How could he have missed this predictable reaction?

"Oh?"

"Oh, no, I mean, no."

Izaya looked down in terror. How did he not realize that? He was supposed to know everything. But, then it suddenly occurred to him that the emotions he had felt had taken over his mind, blocking any further thought. It was perfectly human to act upon emotions as strong as that. He shook his head.

"I wasn't avoiding you."

Shizuo, who had a worried expression before, suddenly grinned.

"That's good, I was worried. You've been really quiet lately."

Shizuo was worried? About him?

Izaya wanted to laugh but felt that would disrupt the situation.

"The truth is Izaya kun," began Shizuo.

Izaya could trace a faint blush in his cheeks.

"Uh, um. That is, I really like you."

"Of course you do," smirked Izaya. "We're best friends after all."

"No! it's not like that!"

Shizuo looked flustered.

Somehow Izaya knew that this would happen and he was not surprised.

"So you have feelings for me?"

Once again his curiosity was setting in.

"I, I don't know. I just really liked you, and before I knew it, I was thinking about you all the time, and then suddenly I feel like I'm in love with you!"

So that was how it worked. Izaya understood this somewhat, if not, perfectly.

"Give me some time, I'll think about it," said Izaya, who was in dire need of planning his next move. He forgot that human emotions evolved quickly and was not prepared for the amount of time it took for this to happen.

"Alright then," said Shizuo with a smile. "Whenever you're ready."

Ha, whenever I'm ready, thought Izaya with a mental smirk.

When will I ever be ready?

Izaya spent the night on the balcony of his flat thinking. He needed an efficient plan. If he became Shizuo's lover, it would be possible that he himself might suffer from the relationship itself or if Shizuo were to regain his memories. But then again, the curiosity! How could he not wonder what Shizuo in a relationship would act like? The thought nagged him and he debated until sunrise when he fell asleep.

Right before his eyes closed, he decided to go with the situation and enter a relationship with Shizuo. Only out of curiosity and usage as experiment data. Nothing else, no feelings involved, at least on his part.

He woke up and found himself lying in his bed. He knew Shizuo had put him there. But wait! Had Shizuo discovered his strength? The thought suddenly terrified him and he sprang up to come face to face with Shizuo.

"Morning," grinned Shizuo. "Breakfast in bed?"

Izaya blinked twice, forgetting his prior panic. Did Shizuo seriously just make him breakfast? This was hilarious! He muffled a laugh in his pillow and took his breakfast.

It was not half bad, but something was astray. Wasn't Shizuo under the mindset that he couldn't cook? Whatever. Izaya didn't think any further than that.

Shizuo sat with him as he ate, twiddling his fingers and making light conversation. After awhile the silence became awkward. Izaya decided to break it and make it even more awkward, for the sake of Shizuo's reaction.

"I've made my decision."

Shizuo jumped up and blushed.

"Well, that was pretty fast!"

"I've decided to make you my lover."

Shizuo's face lit up and he smiled brilliantly, making Izaya's cheeks go hot, which he noted was from the suddenness of Shizuo's expression. Apparently Shizuo had the special ability to affect the blood flow in his cheeks.

Shizuo's expression suddenly changed and became serious. With this, Izaya began to notice another annoying side effect of Shizuo's expression change.

Izaya's heart was pumping blood faster. He could feel it hammering in his chest. Suddenly he became lost in it, and therefore, lost his strong focus on the fact that this all was an experiment. His mind became a swirl of Shizuo's eyes coming closer and his beating heart, the rush of blood to his cheeks. He suddenly became aware that there was something soft and cool pressing against his lips. Shizuo had made his move.

Izaya was being kissed by Shizuo, the one who was always out to kill him.

By the time Izaya realized what had just happened, he sat there, looking at Shizuo in shock. He had never felt such strong emotional ties with a human before. It terrified him and it took all of his strength not to freak out for the sake of making a worse mess than he had already made.

Shizuo stared into Izaya's eyes. He lifted his lips from Izaya to breathe and hurriedly pressed them back into Izaya's while sucking and licking. Izaya let out a small moan that caused his mind to go berserk and he pushed Shizuo off of him.

What was that pathetic noise I made? Thought Izaya feeling mortified that such an awful sound could come out of him. Then he realized the effect of having pushed Shizuo away.

Shizuo looked hurt, but was also panting hard, his cheeks flushed. Izaya looked at him briefly.

"You don't like me?" asked Shizuo, pulling an expression that made Izaya want to pat his head like a dog. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, that's not it," began Izaya, trying to regain his senses. He figured it best to not look at Shizuo for the time being. However, that effort failed.

"Then, you were just kidding?"

"No, it's not that, I…" Izaya looked back at Shizuo and felt an urge to return his kiss. He begrudgingly accepted that urge and tackled Shizuo, pressing his lips heavily onto Shizuo's, forcing out a moan. He pulled away, breathless. He had never felt such intense human emotions before. These emotions, of passion, lust, and want. He collapsed on top of Shizuo. He did not know what to do. If his emotions got anymore mangled than this, he would have to call off this entire experiment and leave Shizuo for good.

However, Shizuo was not having paranoid thoughts, rather, he was focused on something entirely different and turned over on top of Izaya.

"I want you now," he whispered in Izaya's ear. "May I?" as to infer that he would be on top.

Izaya lay there motionless, lost in the sudden blur of emotions that came with that husky whisper.

Maybe.

Just this once.

Just give in.

The human emotions overrode his subconscious and spilled into his conscious and he pulled Shizuo close to him, which Shizuo read as "yes I want you too."
