It felt like the two were staring at each other for hours; the tension was obvious and the air started to feel as thick as molasses. Shizuo had his hands shoved in his pockets and was starring down at the floor, avoiding the informants bug eyed stare. Izaya usually couldn't look at the blonde but now he was too afraid to look away.

"…Stop staring at me like that flea." Shizuo finally said, getting very annoyed that the flea was staring at him so observantly, like he was waiting for something to happen. Izaya swallowed thickly as he started walking towards his desk.

"Um…you can have a seat on the couch Shizu-chan, or if you're hungry you can help yourself to anything in the fridge." Izaya said almost to quiet for the other male, Shizuo stared at him for a moment before going to sit down on the very expensive couch. Although the couch was very relaxing Shizuo still had his guard up, he didn't care what anyone said, that the flea was starting to change, he knew he was up to something. He listened to the fast typing of the brunet and kept a very close eye on him while watching some nature marathon that Kasuka had been watching.

"Wow, he really does look skinny." Shizuo thought as he got a closer look at the brunet, he had to take off his sunglasses to really see how pale the informant looked. His arms were like twigs and Shizuo could actually see his ribs through his shirt. The ex-bartender hoisted himself up onto his feet and approached the wood desk; Izaya noticed the monstrous figure coming towards him and had to keep himself from looking up at him.

"M-may I help you?" Izaya asked, not looking up at the larger male. He gasped when his desk chair was suddenly pulled away from his computers; Shizuo spun his around so he could get a better look of how skinny the raven actually was. He reached forward and pulled up Izaya's shirt, only to see a set of ribs covered by a thin layer of skin.

"What are you doing?" Izaya yelped as he jumped out of his chair and backed a few feet away from the larger male. He had his arms crossed across his chest and was shaking very noticeably.

"You're so skinny; you're all skin and bones!" Shizuo said, starring at Izaya with wide eyes. He had never seen someone that skinny actually alive!

"S-so what if I am? Why do you care?" Izaya shuddered as he talked; his vision had went to the floor and his breathing had become uneven.

"Listen flea; don't get a fucking attitude with me. I'm just doing Shinra a favor by watching you right now, if you die of starvation because I didn't help you he would never forgive me. Considering he's my only real friend I have to keep you alive." Shizuo growled; his eyes locked with the smaller males…he could see that look of pain in his eyes again…the same look he saw the last time he had talked with the flea…that same look he couldn't handle looking at. Not wanting to go back near the larger male Izaya sat down on the couch and kept his vision down to his folded hands; not saying a word.

"…I'm going to go get you something to eat, stay there while I look for something." Shizuo ordered as he went into the kitchen; for the first time Izaya actually obeyed the monster. All Shizuo really found in the kitchen was a few cans of soup, tuna, and some bread.

"How does a tuna fish sandwich with chicken soup sound?" Shizuo asked, not really liking the combo of food but he wasn't the one eating it so he could care less.

"I'm NOThungry." Izaya said fiercely; Shizuo just ignored him and started making the food.

"You're eating flea; if I have to shove the food down your throat then so be it." Shizuo said as he poured the soup into a pot and started to mix the tuna with some mayo. After the soup was done he poured it into a bowl and placed the sandwich on a plate before bringing it to the annoyed informant.

"Here flea, I'm not leaving you alone until every last morsel of that food is gone." Shizuo said as he placed the food in front of the smaller male. Izaya studied the food for a moment while Shizuo sat down next to him.

"I want the crust cut off." Izaya said finally, still not looking at the blonde.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, I won't eat it if the crust isn't cut off…and I want it cut into triangles, I won't eat it if it's not in triangles either." Izaya said, he really was serious about these demands. Shizuo got up, ripped open the silverware drawer, and pulled out the first knife he saw; he made the sandwich to the fleas liking and shoved it back towards him.

"Now eat it!" Shizuo said angrily as he placed the knife down on the table; Izaya shook his head and lay back against the couch.

"I told you I don't want to eat." Izaya said; Shizuo was furious now, he had just gotten up to cut the freaking sandwich now the damn flea won't even eat it? He grabbed a piece of the sandwich and pulled the smaller male closer to him.

"Fine, if you won't eat it then I'll feed it to you." Izaya clamped his mouth down tight, determined not to eat anything…although when he got a smell of the food his mouth started overflow with drool. He opened his mouth slowly and let the part of the sandwich be shoved into his mouth. He covered his chewing with his hand and swallowed it down.

"I hate you so much right now Shizu-chan." Izaya lied as another piece of the sandwich was shoved into his mouth. He really didn't hate the blonde, he loved him but he couldn't let him know that.

"Can I at least have a drink to wash this down?" Izaya asked, the thick tuna was sticking to his throat and he really didn't like the thought of having his breath smell like fish. Shizuo got up and poured some milk into two glasses; he was pretty thirsty himself after all. Izaya drank half of the glass of milk and let Shizuo feed him the rest of the sandwich; by that time the soup had cooled off, but again Izaya refused to eat it. Shizuo sighed heavily and started feeding the soup to a very annoyed informant; after the soup was finished Izaya got up from the couch to head to the bathroom.

"I just need to go to the bathroom." Before Izaya could even take a step forward he was pulled back down by the bodyguard.

"Don't lie flea, you're just going in here to throw up everything you just ate." Shizuo said as he let go of the brunet and started searching in his pocket for the brunet's medicine.

"Dammit, he's getting smarter." Izaya thought as his medicine was poured into his hand; he ate the pills and took a large gulp of the milk to swallow them down. Shizuo cleaned up the dishes while Izaya watched more of the TV, Izaya had already sent the information he need to give out to Celty to deliver; he couldn't let Shizuo come with him to deliver information…he might kill his customers!

"Thanks for making me something to eat Shizu-chan." Izaya mumbled as Shizuo sat down next to him.

"Whatever flea, seeing you looking like a skeleton is grossing me out."

"Wow Shizu-chan, that makes me feel great about myself." Izaya said annoyed as he snuggled into the couch; he was exhausted at this point and really just wanted to sleep…but he couldn't with the monster sitting right next to him. Unfortunately after a few minutes of starring at a very baring documentary Izaya's head felt like a bolder as his head fell down onto the blonde's shoulder.

"What the hell flea?" Shizuo asked annoyed, he looked down to see the informant was fast asleep. He was about to shove Izaya off of him but was interrupted by his phone ringing.

"Hello Shizuo-kun, Kasuka said you were taking care of Izaya now so I just wanted to let you know that he needs to come back to my place now. It's getting late and I really want to keep him close to hear since he hasn't been looking to well." Shinra explained once the bodyguard had answered the phone.

"Uh…well he kind of just fell asleep; he looks drained so I don't think he'll be waking up any time soon." Shizuo explained as he looked down at the lightly snoring raven.

"Your strong Shizu-chan, could you please just carry him here? I don't want you to wake him up because he's hardly gotten any sleep in the past couple of weeks."

"I guess…I could carry him." Shizuo said as he started to get to his feet; he hung up on the underground doctor and moved his hands under the skinny body. Izaya was actually really light; Shizuo blushed when the smaller male wrapped his arms around his neck and cuddled close to his warm body.

"Damn flea…don't make me feel like this…when I hate you so much…."
