Izaya sat opposite Shiki, his boss. They were in his own apartment and both were sipping tea. Shizou was at work and he couldn't visit him today as far as he could tell. The fact that they are lovers was kept silent. Most of Izaya's life was kept silent and no one even knew he was back in action, even he walked round Ikebokuro holding his daughter or Shizuo's hand.
This meeting was the first in a year that they had seen each other. Izaya sat in grey shorts as he was just woken up and was yet to change, "Izaya. Where have you been or a year? Your apartment is a mess," he wrinkled his nose at how messy his house was.
Sounds of cries came from a monitor behind Shiki. The bodyguards tensed at the sound. Izaya stood up and rushed up stairs and brought Yumi down the stairs. The girl was in her pyjamas and was cuddling back into her dad as she wiped her face against his neck.
Shiki stood up and went to the girl and saw her cute little face, "She is precious. I assume she's your daughter," Izaya nodded then sat down and got Yumi to sit beside him. He gave her, her bottle and she happily drank her bottle while staring at the new faces.
"Congratulations on becoming a father. It's a wonderful feeling isn't it?" Izaya nodded.
"If I go back being an information broker, no harm must come to my daughter. She is to be kept out of range from any harm at all times. If her life is on the line at anytime I will quit the job straight away, no hesitation," Shiki nodded his head then looked to the girl.
"I am fully aware of how much a father wants to protect their offspring. Can I see her," Izaya picked her up and gave his daughter a smile.
"Want to see Shiki?" The girl was given to Shiki who held the girl in his arms. He held her delicately like she was made of porcelain.
"She is really gorgeous. Anyway I'll make sure she is protected from all your clients. No harm will come to your daughter. My daughter is 18 now and has been protected ever since she was born. Though I do suggest that when she is off an appropriate age you take her to judo, karate and self defence. She may need them," Izaya nodded his head then watched as Yumi hit Shiki's face.
A body guard grabbed the girl by her arm making her scream, Izaya sent the male to the floor while holding his crying child. He gave Shiki a glare as his daughter had been hurt, "Izuo, you're fired," Shiki hissed standing up and taking his gun and other gear from him.
Izaya pulled her in close and gently bounced her up and down as she cried in pain, "I sometimes regret having you. How am I supposed to protect you?" He asked while rubbing soothing circles in her back.
"Izuo. Out now!" Shiki moved over to Yumi who was screeching and sent him on his way. Izaya led his daughter into his room where he lay her on his bed and stripped her out of her pyjamas. He led her into the bathroom and filled up the sink for her to bathe in. The water was hot enough for her arm to heal yet not scolding.
"Izaya. You're a good father and you'll be able to protect her," Izaya smiled then heard his front door open. He was aware that it was Shizuo. He quickly sent him a text to stay out the house as Shiki was in.
'Where are you then? I'm in the house'
'Upstairs'
'Fuck sake'
'What's wrong?' Izaya heard the foot steps then sighed to himself. He gently put Yumi into the water as she cried. Izaya massaged her arms then heard a large noise.
Izaya turned to see Shizuo being restrained on the bed his arms behind his back, "Excuse me Mr Bodyguard un-hand him," Izaya hissed and watched as the male fully in black let go of his lover and watched as the blonde got up.
"How long will this meeting take?" Shizuo hissed walking over. Izaya turned but kept his daughters head above water. He felt arms wrap around is body. He turned his head and kissed his lips softly.
"Not long...one of his body guard hurt Yumi, so I'm trying to sooth the muscle," Izaya watched as she stopped crying and held her arms out for Shizou but whimpered as she did so. Shizuo took her out the bath and wrapped her in a towel and led her into Izaya's bed and cuddled into her.
"Ahh erm Mr Heiwajima what owes you the pleasure of being here?" Shizuo looked at the male before looking to Izaya.
"Shiki, Shizuo is my lover," Izaya walked out and held his lovers face as he pressed his lips to his. He tasted the cigarettes and pulled away with a disgusted face. Izaya walked down the stairs with Shiki following behind.
"Back to matters, our contract will stay the same, your child and lover will be under protection so there is no need to worry. Can I have my informant back," Izaya nodded and shook his hand and was handed a large brown folder.
"We start Monday. Have a nice night," Izaya led the male out then felt a hand at his belt buckle and his trousers sliding down his hips.
"Miss me," Izaya asked as he rested his arms against the door. He felt his top lift up at the back as kiss was planted onto his back. "Mmmm. Can we do this later?" Shizuo nodded then moved away from his lover and headed up the stairs where Yumi lay in her cot. She had a small blue dog in her hand and was happily playing with it (aka sucking on it's tail) Izaya took the toy and bopped her on the nose with it.
Yumi lifted her arms up and she was brought into her daddies arms and was brought down stairs where Shizuo lay. He was sprawled in front of the TV with his hands in his trousers. Izaya smiled softly and kissed his neck.
"Did you think I was cheating on you?" Izaya asked walking around and taking a seat on his lap facing him. Shizuo sighed, paused his program then nodded his head slowly. "Why would I text you, where I was if I was. Eh. Yeah don't come up stairs, I'm being fucked," Izaya mocked then lay beside him, his head laying on his chest. Yumi lay beside him being held in her fathers arms.
She was content with Shizuo now. She would sometimes scream at him for no good reason and would cry and throw her toys at him but she was more loving towards him now, "Why would I ever cheat on you?" Shizuo turned his head to look at his lover and saw how comfortable he was. He too was pretty comfortable.
"I don't know. You were married and were dis-loyal to Natsume," Izaya sat up then put Yumi in a play pen then turned to Shizuo.
"I did love Natsume. I never cheated on her. I was just desperate for you. If that's the way you feel, get out," Izaya hissed though his voice was never raised.
"Izaya. I'm not leaving. I'm sorry. It's just that how do you think I would feel if I caught you masturbating for Natsume again. I would hate it so much,"
"I don't love her like I love you, you fucking dumbass," Izaya hissed then took a seat on the couch, slumping away. Shizuo sighed and sat beside him.
"Don't laugh okay," Izaya turned to the blonde who was going all red in the face. He nodded slowly then saw his loving mocha eyes look at him from the corner of his eyes and look away, "I want us to be together forever, like maybe become partners...but you were married to Natsume and that ended," Izaya sighed then kissed Shizuo's cheek lovingly then his neck.
"Listen...I would get on my knee's right now...but I'm scared to do such a thing. I have already been married and it was ruined. It makes it seem like my vows to her were just lies. It feels disgusting," Shizuo smiled then cuddled into his partners little body.
"Promise me, that you'll tell me if you feel like needing a woman's body and I'll do as much as I can to assist with the urge," Izaya nodded with a laugh.
"Kiss me," Shizuo complied and gently lowered his lover before capturing his lips. Izaya licked Shizuo's lips lovingly then felt Shizuo pull at his shorts again. He slipped his hand into the waist band and soothingly made circles on his hip bone.
"We shouldn't. I mean I want to, I do. It's just that we should constrain ourselves for Yumi's sake. She doesn't need to see her dad in bed with you. It doesn't feel right," Shizuo sighed then kissed Izaya's lips.
"When she is asleep...you are all mine though," Izaya laugh nodding his head then stood up and went over to the kitchen and began to prepare for dinner. A knock at the door startled both males. Izaya put the oven on before making his way to the door to see Masaomi and Anri.
"Come in," Izaya allowed Masaomi to enter but slammed the door on Anri's face and went over to the kitchen to prepare for dinner. "Would you like to stay for dinner?" Kida noticed that Anri wasn't in and only chuckled.
"Yeah sure," Kida made his way over to Yumi and picked her up as she held her arms up for him. He walked over to the couch and sat next to Shizuo who was playing his program and had his hands in his trousers again. Izaya sighed to himself then looked to his smiling daughter who had grown quite attacked to the blondes. The informant cut up various veggies then put them into a large dish before glazing them with honey paste.
Izaya went over to Shizuo and sat on his lap and was brought into a large hug, "What are you cooking?" Shizuo smiled as Izaya curled up on up his chest. Kida had gotten used to the affection the two shared and would often come round to play with Yumi as he had nothing better to do.
"It's my mums recipe. I haven't made it in a while," Izaya kissed his neck and closed his eyes. Shizuo saw that Izaya had fallen asleep in his arms and was shocked to see such a sight. He did have to wake up a few times in the night to see to Yumi or would be on the computer doing something.
"So how's life with Izaya?" Kida asked as he saw that Yumi was asleep as well.
"It's quite relaxing actually. We some times bicker but I think that's due to his lack of sleep," Kida nodded and looked back down to the child he held.
Monday came and Izaya was out with Yumi in Ikebokuro stalking a male that Shiki needed information on. He held his daughter close to his chest as he followed the male around town. He needed to find Masaomi so he could take her for a bit.
He found him not long after and gestured for him to walk over. He handed him his precious daughter and kissed her forehead gave him her bag and some money to treat her to ice cream. He then took off with a smile as he was able to stalk the male properly.
He watched as the male he followed walked into a love hotel. Izaya walked in and followed the male into the lift, "Going up?" Izaya asked with a smile. The male nodded then leaned back.
"So your misses waiting up stairs for you?" Izaya asked as he pressed a button on the lift. The male laughed shaking his head.
"I don't have a wife. I only have a girlfriend," Izaya had been recording the whole time.
"Is your girlfriend waiting," Izaya still had his wedding ring on as he liked the accessory.
"Na my wife," he showed him his finger. "We recently had a child and haven't been able to get together in a while, so you know," Izaya explained then watched as the male nodded.
"Congratulations on your child. I hope to have a child of my own soon,"
"Maybe you will if you play your cards right," Izaya grinned though his back was to the man. He just got everything he needed for Shiki but wanted some proof. The two walked into the lobby and Izaya took his camera out as a blonde woman, wearing only a satin dressing gown.
"She yours? She's smoking," Izaya smiled before heading into a room next door. The room was empty, he already checked. He had hacked into their bookings and made sure that this room was free. He sat on the bed and decided to phone Shizuo.
"Hey babe. Guess where I am?" Izaya sang happily as he lay back on the bed.
"Where?"
"Love hotel," Izaya sang happily. "I'm stalking a guy for Shiki and he's next door. I need to ensure that I have enough evidence so I'll be here until I hear moans,"
"Did you take Yumi into a love hotel,"
"Hell no. Masaomi has her. Could you pick her up for me?"
"Sure. I'm about done for work myself but I was invited to go drinking with Shinra,"
"Go drinking if you want. It's fine. I'll be done soon-ish but I'll need to go get some other information,"
"Unless you stayed in that love hotel and I could visit,"
"As tempting as that sounds. I am working. I don't go into your clients home and have sex there. I'll just see you when I see you," Izaya heard the sound of cries. "I'm gonna go now. Love you," he hung up quickly and made his way next door.
He normally would have set up camera's in the room prier but since he had Yumi, he had to go in another way. Izaya stepped out of the room and slipped into the males room. He held out his camera and tip toed in.
Izaya used a mirror to peek around the room and recorded the reflection on the mirror to get his information. The screamed from the girl echoed around the room, "Fuck me. Fuck me you bad man," the lady moaned out. "Forget about your children,"
"What children. I need you in my life not my four month year old son. He isn't important," the male responded. Izaya continued to record then waited till they fell asleep and made his way in where he waked over to the males pocket and took some money.
He took about ¥1000000 from him and headed out and back into Ikebokuro. He headed to his clients house and knocked on the door. He entered the house and saw the wife of the male breast feeding her child."I did knock," Izaya began and took a seat beside the female. "Cute child. What's his name?" He asked looking to the boys loving blue eyes.
"Sora," Izaya watched as the boy turned in and laughed at his mother. He but his lip then took her hand.
"I'm sorry sweetheart. You may want to pack his bags. All the information is on this disk. First pay up," The woman gave the male a hefty sum from her husband which happened to be all her husband owned and Izaya left with a small smile.
Izaya saw Masaomi flirting with a few girls. One was holding Yumi and was pinching her cheek, "Yumi," Izaya called out but she didn't turn her head. He walked over and picked her up and saw her little face light up when she saw her daddy.
"Thanks so much, you're a real life saver," Izaya headed home with Yumi. It was getting dark and she was freezing. He put her into his large brown jacket and smiled as she played with his hood.
"Daddy would never leave you for a woman. Not even Shizuo will get in the way. If he was getting in the way, he'd be the first to go," Izaya headed into his home and saw that Shizuo was yet to return. He made himself a cup of tea then headed up to bed where he had a shower then got into bed. He brought out his reading glasses and read one of his parent books while Yumi cuddled into his side.
"Yumi," the girl didn't respond to Izaya which made his very worried. He quickly got dressed and headed out to the doctors. It was empty thankfully. He was taken quickly and he sat down holding Yumi in his arms.
"Mr Orihara what seems to be the problem?" A blonde doctor asked. She had her hair in a pony tail and wore dark frames and a white jacket.
"I'm concerned about Yumi. She doesn't respond like other kids her age," the doctor clicked in her ear and she didn't respond to it. Izaya bit his lip that wasn't good. In his books a child at four months were to be reacting to sounds. Even at two months yet Yumi didn't hear him earlier both times, with Masaomi and in bed.
The doctor took out a thing to look into her ear, when she touched her ear with the cold metal she turned her head and began to scream. Izaya held her head as the doctor looked in and she shook her head.
"Mr Orihara. I'm afraid your daughter is deaf. I suggest hearing aids for her. They are quite pricey and will come in a few weeks,"
"How much?"
"500 yen per ear," Izaya went into his pocket and pulled out 1000¥ bill. The doctor nodded then ordered them online. She handed him a letter and allowed him to leave. Izaya headed home and put his daughter to bed.
He went into his own bed and lay on his stomach. He heard his front door open and heard Shizuo stumbling around down stairs. Izaya sighed then felt a body lie on top of his, "Hey you," Shizuo slurred out. Izaya didn't move and began to sob into his pillow.
"Hey, what happened," The blonde rolled to the side and pulled him in for a hug. Izaya hid his face against his lovers chest and took deep breaths while he nuzzled in to him.
"You stink of booze and cigarette. Go for a shower and brush your teeth you'll give me a headache," Izaya pushed him away then watched as he stood up and went for a shower. He looked to his sleeping daughter who was sucking on her thumb quietly. Izaya picked her up and held her to his chest.
"Baby, my poor baby. I'm sorry. This isn't going to be fun for you," he whispered as she slept peacefully in his arms. He sat on the bed then brought her in for a hug. He sat looking at his phone while holding her hand as she slept.
Izaya sighed then lay back on the bed and brought Yumi in for a cuddle. He closed his eyes then heard the water turning off. Izaya turned to see Shizuo in a pair of boxer and was drying his wet hair.
"Come on. Let her sleep," Shizuo took the child and put her back in her cot then crawled on top of Izaya who had his eyes closed and was waiting for some action. Shizuo bent down and kissed his neck. "What's wrong?"
"Shut up and just kiss me," Izaya hissed. Shizuo sat up and shook his head. "FUCKING KISS ME ALREADY!" Shizou looked to Yumi who was peacefully sleeping in her bed.
"Don't scream. You might wake up Yumi," Izaya punched his face and then went into his bed and pulled the covers over his head. Shizuo sighed then turned the light off before joining his lover in the bed. His punches didn't really hurt. Shizuo wrapped his arms around his lovers waist and pulled him in close to his body. He kissed his neck softly then his lips, "You're clearly the female in this," he laughed gently.
"What makes you say such a thing," Izaya mumbled under his covers.
"We'll I'm almost certain you are on your menstrual cycle," Izaya laughed and shook his head.
"I'm sorry. It's just that...I learnt something which has broke my heart and I don't know how to fix the problem,"
"You can tell what's wrong, you know that right. Lean on me sometimes," Izaya turned round and rested his head on Shizuo's bare chest and smiled.
"How's that?" Izaya smiled then looked to his daughter who was peacefully sleeping in her small cot."She's deaf," he whispered hiding his face in his chest. Shizuo looked to the male confused not understanding what he was meaning.
"Wait who is?"
"Yumi is. She is deaf. She can't hear," Shizuo kissed Izaya's forehead and shook his head. That was really heart breaking for a parent to learn that their child wasn't as healthy as they first thought she was.
"She will get hearing aids. She'll be fine," Izaya sighed then shook his head and closed his eyes while Shizou gently patted his head. "I don't think I should be giving you advise, but she'll be fine. She will be raised right. She won't have problems at all. She'll have hearing aids. Come on. If she has your blood she be perfectly alright. I doubt she'll be bullied. She has your nature and Natume's. She'll be alright," Izaya sighed then sat up and took his ring of his finger.
"Shizuo...be with me when she heads for her first day of school up until her graduation, when she leaves to graduate for college. Be with me until the very end," Shizuo nodded and kissed Izaya's lips softly.
"Was that a proposal? We've only dated for a month," Izaya grinned and nodded his head.
"Yes, I want you to marry me. I don't care if we have a wedding...I just want us to be with each other until the end," Shizou bit his lip then looked away from his lover as tears began to fill in his eyes.
"Yes. Yes. Yes," Izaya smiled then lay beside Shizuo again. He closed his eyes then felt Shizuo cuddle into him once again.
Shizuo was at work when he saw Izaya and Masaomi talking with each other. Yumi was sleeping in her buggy. He wanted to walk over and see them but he couldn't abandon Tom at the moment. Masaomi looked to Yumi and touched her hand.
"You're keeping secrets from me. Why didn't you mention you couldn't hear me? Thought we were closer than that" Yumi didn't wake up and remained asleep.
Izaya saw Shizuo and ran after him and took his hand for a moment, "Do you have to work today?" Shizuo nodded his head but took the males hands and stared into his sad face. "You could live of my salary,"
"As your soon to be husband, I need to support my wife," he whispered making Izaya blush madly. He kissed his cheek then headed over to Masaomi who was alone with Yumi.
"I'm going to the bank, the hospital then the clinic then I need you to baby sit for me," Masaomi nodded then watched as Izaya left with his daughter. He watched as someone ran after his friend and saw Shizuo at Izaya's side.
"I want to spend today with you," Izaya nodded and headed to the bank which wasn't that far away. He smiled to himself as Shizou was at his side. He felt some what happy that he would be my his side to look after him.
