Celty was riding her bike home when she saw Shizuo dash a crossed the street. She could feel the desperation leaking out from him. Naturally she did what any friend would do and went over to ask what was wrong.

Shizuo turned when he heard the sound of the bike and ran toward it. Celty stopped to pull out her phone but she felt him get on her bike.

"No time to explain! Just go to 34 Culver Street. It's a warehouse. Hurry they have Izaya! They are going to kill him!"

Celty didn't need to be told twice she speed off as fast as her bike/ horse would carry them.

-Shizuo's POV -

Shizuo thanked god that he ran into Celty. Now he had a chance. 'Please be safe Izaya.' He chanted over and over in his head. Looking around he realized he wasn't that far away. 'With the way Celty is driving i might make it in t-' His thoughts were cut off by his phone ringing. Quickly he reached down to answer it.

"What do you want you bastard?" he growled into the phone. What he heard next almost broke his heart.

"Shizzy-chan…" It sounded so weak. He sounded like he was about to cry.

"Izaya! Are you ok? What's going on?"

"I… I only have a little time to talk so just let me for a minute…. I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it out of this one. But before I die I just wanted to hear your voice one more time and also to tell you that in no way do I blame you for this so no matter what happens this is NOT your fault."

"Izaya don't talk like your going to die ok? I'm going to save you I promise."

He heard a pitiful laugh on the other side.

"Shizuo."

The blonde tensed up at the use of his real name.

"Yes Izaya."

"I love y-you so mu-uch." He could hear his voice cracking. He was most likely crying.

"I love you too Izaya! Please hang in there!" Shizuo looked around he was so close.

"I don't believe in the afterlife per say but I promise that I will be there waiting for you. I love you so much and no one can ever change that ok? Death is just a minor inconvenience for I will see you again. Promise me something."

"A-any thing." Shizuo choked out almost in tears.

"Promise me that when you go to the afterlife you will look for me."

The warehouse was in sight now. "Izaya I promise."

I heard the phone changing hands. "well now that you got to say goodbye to your little boyfriend it is time for him to depart from this world."

(AN: I was gonna stop there but the wait was a long one)

"Not on my watch!" Shizuo yelled bursting through the warehouse door. The man was shocked. He reached down for Izaya but Shizuo would have none of that. Launched himself a crossed the room and tackled him the ground.

Celty was making fast work of the men outside.

The gun clattered to the ground out of the man's reach. He tried to scurry away from the blonde but the blonde had him and was not about to let go. He pounded his fists into the guys face and gut over and over until the man was unconscious. When he was sure he was he ran over to Izaya.

Izaya was not in the best shape but he was alive and that was good enough for Shizuo. The blonde reached down and undid the chains taking his lover into his arms. Tears were still running down the raven haired man's cheeks.

"I thought I was never gonna see you again." He choked out pulling himself as close to other as he could.

"I told you I would protect you no matter what. I meant that." The informant smiled up at him as he slowly fell asleep against his body. Once he was asleep he called the police. He would let them deal with it but right now Izaya needed to go see Shinra.

Celty was waiting outside.

[Do you want me to take Izaya on my bike?] She asked

"No I don't think I can handle being separated again right now. I will bring him over. Go warn Shinra so he is set up when we get there."

She nodded speeding off.

Shizuo held Izaya close in his arms and looked down at his sleeping face. "I'm never letting you go again Izaya. Not ever" He whispered.
