Izaya laid his arm across Masaomi's shoulders. "You aren't picking on my darling Masaomi now, are you?"

Masaomi turned bright red. "H-huh?"

"I hope you aren't being ridiculed for dating me. I know a relationship between people of our gender and age difference isn't accepted in many circles. Then again, I'm not just any man, am I? I'm attractive, dangerous, wealthy, fantastic in bed…" He smirked.

The boys laughed. "Wow, you weren't kidding about his ego," one said.

"He's kind of pretty for a guy, though, so I can see why you're into him."

Izaya slid his hand down to Masaomi's waist and kissed his cheek. "Sorry, but I'm in a happy relationship. You'll have to find someone else."

"Hey! I don't—"

The informant waved his hand, and then looked at Masaomi. "Let's go. I want you at my place tonight. I've planned out something I think you'll love." He steered them away from the boys and towards the parking lot.

"Why did you—?" Masaomi's eyes widened as soft lips pressed against his cut him off. His eyelids fluttered shut and he started to move his lips reflexively.

Izaya pulled away and smirked. "You're welcome."

"What am I supposed to be thanking you for!?"

"I introduced myself to your friends, and got you away from them when you very obviously weren't enjoying that conversation."

Masaomi grumbled a bit, but eventually sighed and gave in. "Whatever. I mean, you were obviously just being possessive, but I suppose it's true that I've been trying to get out of there for a while now... I'm not thanking you, though."

"Aww. Masaomi-kun is so mean. Why do you always have to assume I have selfish intentions? Can't I simply want to do something nice for my boyfriend?"

The blond responded with pink cheeks. "Then get my flowers or make me dinner. You came to pick me up, and I happened to be in a conversation I was getting bored of."

Izaya wrapped an arm around Masaomi's waist and led them down the sidewalk. "Flowers or dinner, hm? I'll try that next time. For now, you'll have to take me rescuing you. I'll always rescue you."
