Oh my god, it has been ages since my last update, hasn't it? ^^' I'm so sorry, lots of stuff had been going on in my life, I will probably transfer to another school soon, and well..
I've been so burning to finally write a new chapter for The Contract, everytime I read another one of your lovely reviews I felt so guilty for making you guys wait so long and my head was bursting with ideas for the story! Unfortunately, I can't throw them all in as I want because I kind of need to develop some things more first…
I'm sorry this update isn't as long as I wished it would be, but my time is limited, tomorrow morning I will finally go to Poland for summer vacation, I really need a pause from Germany, it's driving me nuts!
Anyways, without further ado, here's the new chapter!
Part 19 – Temper & Patience
The loud noise of the front door being slammed shut made the teen jump startled; blushing fiercely at the intimate position he was being held in by the informant, he quickly turned to shove the man away. Making his way out of the kitchen, he checked the source of the noise, only to see that their not very welcome guest Nakamura had made his panicked escape through the front door, leaving behind a knocked-over lamp and a trail of banknotes that must have fallen out of the briefcase as the man had ran for his life.
A small chuckle escaped the brunette at the thought of having scared a man, twice his age and probably a yakuza member, so much that he's run with his tail between his legs.
While Izaya went to collect the (at least to the highschooler) fair amount of money Nakamura had left behind, the teen grabbed his school bag he had dropped earlier and took out the convenience store bag he had put inside.
"Hm? What did you buy, Mikado-chan?", the raven asked curiously, having once again snuck up behind the brunette without the boy realizing.
"I-Izaya-san..! Don't sneak up on me like that!", the teen complained, then reached into the plastic bag to show the informant the contents.
The obsidian-haired man leaned over the teen's shoulder in order to look at it, resting his chin in the crook of the boy's neck; noticing satisfied the slight blush that crept on the teen's face at their closeness.
"Eeh~? Cat food? What do you need it for?", the raven asked curiously in his childish voice.
"What do you think? For Shizu-ko of course! We can't feed him with just milk forever, he needs real food.", the teen said, brushing the annoying elder off his shoulder to step once again into the kitchen to prepare a bowl of the cat food.
Musing, the highschooler looked around. "Hm? Come to think of it, I don't see him anywhere around…do you know where he is, Izaya-san?"
"The little pest, you mean? It was really annoying, so I put a laundry basket over that thing and put some heavy books on top of it~", the informant declared, flopping down on the couch with an exhausted sigh.
Mikado didn't know whether he should scold the man, or just give into the urge to laugh. He ended up doing neither, instead just stood there smiling; because the way the handsome raven was sprawled on the couch with his eyes closed and one arm thrown over his head looked simply…adorable.

"Aaah, Mikado~ After all, you're still the best wife a man could wish for~ Your cooking is heavenly! Plus…"
Izaya snaked his arms around the highschooler's waist, who stood by the sink washing the dishes, and planted a soft kiss behind the boy's ear, making the brunette freeze in his actions and shiver ever so slightly.
"…you really look gorgeous in an apron.", Izaya whispered huskily, before brushing his nose softly along the exposed skin of the teen's neck.
"I-Izaya-san…", the teen mumbled flustered, putting his wet hands on the edge of the counter, his fingers gripping the surface a little tighter when he felt a hand worm its way up his front under the apron, drawing slow patterns over his clothed chest, fingers caressing his skin through the fabric of his uniform shirt, which was thin enough to make him feel the contact much too intensely. A soft gasp escaped his lips when the man's hand went from gently stroking up and down his flat abdomen and sternum to slowly caressing his chest, fingers sliding over fabric-covered skin, until they brushed a slowly hardening nipple. Concentrating its attention on the erecting bud, they circled slowly around it, finger brushing and pressing the hard tip, before slowly kneading it between two digits.
Mikado tried to suppress any noises rising up in his throat, but wasn't able to fight a soft whimper when a sudden pinch to his nipple made a spark of pleasure shoot to his lower regions, the coiling in his stomach and the heat in his groin were getting worse and worse, and he wondered how he could feel so hot down there when his face was already on fire with all the blood rushing to it.
This was bad, he couldn't have Izaya-san notice how his knees trembled, legs about to give in any moment if he wouldn't stable himself on the counter. He tried to tell the man off, but that hand was so goddamn…distracting!
The teen's breath was coming out in short, ragged puffs; body squirming under the raven's touch when a second hand found its way under the apron, slowly and teasingly sliding over the boy's thigh. The informant's arms had Mikado now completely trapped in a warm, sinful embrace; the raven's front pressing up to the shuddering teen's back. Izaya's breath hit the boy's neck as he brought his mouth closer to connect his lips to the alabaster skin before him, sucking the junction between the teen's neck and shoulder, eliciting a surprised moan from the latter. The teen's skin tasted slightly salty because of the thin film of sweat that covered it; now that the raven thought of it, it had really become quite hot in here; the heat radiating between their bodies made a bead of sweat slowly pearl down the elder's temple, as he slid his tongue over the delicious patch of skin before him before settling to suck the spot behind the teen's earlobe.
To his surprise, instead of yet another squirm, shudder or soft gasp, it drew out a loud moan from the brunette, the teen's knees buckling and his upper body collapsing over the counter, wet fingers clawing the wood for support.
"A-aahhn…! N-not…there..I-Izaya-san…", the teen gasped under his breath, body shaking with suppressed lust. The raven smirked when he realized he must have found one of Mikado's sensitive spots.
"Is that so~?", Izaya whispered quietly, before licking the spot once again, adoring the way the teen whimpered desperately, pressing his back to the informants chest.
Continuing his assault on the boy's sensitive spot, his hands picked up their work once again, switching from the one to the other, neglected nipple to give it a playful tweak, while his other hand slid further between the brunette's legs to rub the boy's inner thigh, slowly inching further up.
"Hnnn….aahnn…Iza…nngh..yaa…"
Finally the raven's teasing hand cupped the forming bulge in the boy's pants, pawing it gently.
"A-AAHHNN…!"
Mikado's mind went blank when Izaya's hand touched him there, of all places, where all the heat had concentrated and the strange urge arose in him to thrust into that hand, he wanted to be touched more! Mikado pressed his legs together to fight this strange sensation, this itching of his lower regions, but it was no use. Izaya's hand pressed between his legs, rubbing the prominent lump more roughly now, making Mikado arch his back and moan, his mind was turning completely blank, he was seeing stars when his nipple was pinched hard by the elder, and the blood was pulsing hard in his veins, making his body itch and burn, sensitive to every touch of the mischievous informant.
He needed some hold against the sensation; his fingers were trying to claw the wood but slid off the slippery surface of the counter his upper body was bent over.
Mikado was panting hard now and the raven's hand was only sliding further between his legs, rubbing the area of his testicles, making the brunette throw his head back in pleasure, gasping loudly.
The teen brought a fist to his mouth, biting down on the knuckles in a desperate attempt to not let the informant hear any more embarrassing noises, but it was no use because a soft whimper-gasp still escaped the boy's lips when Izaya dipped his tongue into the teen's ear.
"I-Izaya…-sa-san..nngh…p-please…I-I…c-can't…", Mikado forced out between suppressed moans.
"Do you want me to stop?", the elder murmured hoarsely into the smaller male's ear.
Flushed face blushing an even darker shade of red, the teen slowly shook his head. So embarrassed, he was sure he would die from it, the boy still gathered enough courage to voice out the following plea:
"P-please…t-touch me…more…"
Mikado silently cursed the informant for the smirk that the teen knew was spreading on the raven's handsome features at his words.
"With pleasure~", Izaya purred huskily into the young gang leader's ear, before letting his fingers slowly climb up to the boy's pants' waistband, pulling down the zipper with the enjoyment of someone slowly unwrapping a long awaited present.
Licking his lips hungrily, the obsidian-haired male slipped his hand teasingly slow into the teenager's boxers.
"I'm going to make you feel good, Mikado-chan~…"
His hand was just about the grasp the teen's erect member and-
*DING DONG*
…
Izaya emitted a low growl, a murderous aura surrounding him.
"You gotta be kidding me…"

Of course it was impossible to simple ignore the unwanted guest that was waiting at the door and made the horrible mistake of ringing the doorbell when Izaya was just about to FINALLY get into the boy's pants, sealing the guest's fate of getting brutally murdered by said informant; because when Mikado came back to his senses after being startled by the sudden noise, he shoved the informant off in the blink of an eye and stepped precautious two meters away from the man, face red as a tomato and staring on the ground in embarrassment.
Izaya cracked his knuckles with murderous intent as he slowly went to open the door to the bastard whose body parts would soon be spread all over Tokyo.
His glare stopped as his eyes widened when he, upon opening the door, was met with ruffled blond hair, a disgruntled expression and flaring mocha brown orbs; only to return one thousand fold when he realized just who this unwelcome night visitor was.
"Fuck you, Shizu-chan."

"Yeah, I can only return that, flea.", the tall, dyed blonde growled, getting ready to beat the shit out of this little bloodsucking bug.
"This time I'm going to kill you for sure, Shizu-chan.", the Information-broker hissed, reaching for his flickblade.
The blonde just glared back, clenching his fists in an attempt to keep his cool.
Calm down, calm down. You can't lose it here, Mikado would see. Shit, gotta keep calm…
Shizuo sighed deeply, closing his eyes for a second so the sight of the ugly flea's face wouldn't make him flip.
"Not like I wanna be here, ass. 'm just here cuz I'm bringing Mikado sum stuff he forgot…", the bartender-clad male mumbled through clenched teeth.
Shit, that I really had to go here, to the scumbag's apartment of all places…!
Izaya's eyes widened slightly, as he was taken aback by the brute's words for a second.
"He forgot? Where? Why do you have it then..?", the raven queried, eyeing the taller male suspiciously.
"Cuz he was with me this afternoon, that's why.", Shizuo spat back, not liking how that idiot acted all possessive over Mikado. Where was he, by the way? Not like he came all the way out here to talk to the flea…
"What do you mea-", Izaya started, but was cut off by the brunette walking up behind him.
"Who is it, Izaya-san?", the teen asked stepping closer to the door, only to freeze slightly when he saw no one else but Heiwajima Shizuo standing in the door frame.
"S-Shizuo-san…?"

The former bartender could only stare wide eyed when the small brunette appeared at the door; the boy look flustered and flushed and a bit out of breath; the teen's clothes were disheveled, and over them he wore a pink and frilly apron.
Shizuo quickly closed his mouth when he realized he had been gaping at the blue-eyed teen; a blush spreading on his tanned features as he averted his gaze embarrassedly.
W-Why does he have to look so..- No, wait, what the hell are you even getting embarrassed about?! It's not like he's..n-naked..or something…
The debt collector flushed even more at the thought, trying to block out any images of the dark haired teen naked, only wearing that pink apron…
God, he really shouldn't have taken those drinks with Tom earlier, the alcohol must be getting to his brain…
More importantly…why was the teen even looking like that? The apron could be explained easily, since he already knew the teen was a decent cook, but-…
Mikado blushed in embarrassment when he saw his short-tempered friend muster him, then look from Izaya to him, then back to Izaya suspiciously.
If one could really die from shame, the Mikado would be already six feet underground.
"A-ano…what brings you here, Shizuo-san..?", Mikado asked, trying to cover up the awkwardness with a smile.
Shizuo held up two items to the teen. Mikado mustered them curiously; it was his cell phone and his student ID.
"Y-you forgot those…I thought you might need 'em.", the blonde debt-collector mumbled quietly, looking everywhere but at the teen.
"T-thanks…you're a lifesaver, Shizuo-san. I didn't even realize I forgot them, it would have been quite the hassle if you wouldn't have found them." The young dollars leader gave Shizuo a heartwarming smile.
The tall blonde smiled back shyly, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. When his mocha eyes met the teen's azure ones, both quickly looked down, the blond laughing awkwardly and the boy fidgeting with his fingers.
He was so glad his friend didn't seem to have the wrong idea about him and Izaya-san…or the right idea, after all, they had been doing something rather..um…strange…before Shizuo had showed up.
God, this was so embarrassing!
An annoyed sounding cough from the raven ripped the both of them from their thoughts and directed their attention to the third person standing there, leaning against the door frame and watching the whole scene with a rather displeased scowl, which the informant soon replaced with his fake sugary smile as he turned to the blonde.
"So if that's all, Shizu-chan, have a good night and bye-bye~", Izaya hissed sweetly, attempting to shut the door on the much hated brute, but was stopped by Mikado, who stepped out to the blonde to give him a spontaneous hug.
He didn't really know why he was hugging the man; it was probably his instinct telling him that Shizuo was on the brink of losing his temper after such a large dose of Izaya. And surprisingly, the ex-bartender relaxed at the sudden embrace, bringing his arms around the small teen to hug him closer.
Smiling relieved and more natural now, Mikado stepped away to look Shizuo in the eyes, though he still had to put his head back to glance up to the other male.
"See you tomorrow, Shizuo-san."
A grin spread on the tall blonde's face, before a reached out a hand to ruffle through the highschooler's dark, soft locks.
"Bye kid- uh..Mikado."
Mikado smiled shyly at the affectionate gesture, their eyes meeting.
The moment was once again interrupted by the frowning raven next to them, still leaning in the door frame with his arms crossed.
"If you two emit anymore sunshine sparkles and rainbows, I'm gonna throw up."

"I don't like the fact that you're hanging around with that brainless brute, Shizu-chan. He'll crush you with a vending machine someday…", the raven haired male complained, happy to finally have this little nuisance out of his sight and Mikado back to himself.
"He's actually a very nice person, he just has problems controlling his anger sometimes; but I know that he'd never try to hurt me. His anger issues are mostly your fault anyways.", the teen threw back at the elder, who was once again dozing on the couch lazily.
"You flatter me, Mikado-chan~", Izaya purred playfully with his eyes still closed, words followed by a yawn.
"Don't you always say you love all humans?", the young gang leader asked further, leaning over the couch so he was looking down on the informant's calm face.
"I doubt that monster is even human. Moreover, there are some humans…I like more than others."
Izaya's auburn eyes opened to look directly into the teen's azure ones; the man's intense gaze leaving the boy more flustered than he'd admit to be, quickly averting his eyes from the raven.
"Look at me, Mikado.", the raven whispered, hand reaching out to cup the blushing boy's face and bring it closer.
Not able to turn away from the lying male's captivating auburn eyes, Mikado found himself leaning closer and closer to the elder, who had propped himself up on one elbow to meet the teen's lips with his own in a slow and gentle kiss.
Mikado blushed at the action, but hesitated to return the sweet kiss. He couldn't allow losing himself again; but Izaya's kisses were so addicting…
N-No, he had to stop now! Shaking his head mentally to break out of his trance, the brunette pulled back from the kiss; scratching the back of his head sheepishly, he straightened back up.
Happy about finally bringing up enough self-control to resist the informant's seducing, the poor teen didn't know that in this very instant, a certain raven's patience…had just snapped.
"Haha..i-it's already late so I'll better-"
For a moment Mikado didn't know what was going on, when suddenly the world around spun upside down, as Izaya yanked the boy hard by the wrist, pulling him over the couch and causing the teen to hit the ground hard, with the informant on top of him, pinning him down.
A startled gasp escaped the blue-eyed boy when his back collided with the floor hard and his wrist were not so gently pinned over his head by the elder, who was now looming over the teen with a dark aura that made a shiver go up the brunette's spine.
Mikado swallowed hard when he glanced up the crimson glinting orbs above him; the last rays of sunlight had already disappeared at the horizon and covered the room in darkness, only illuminated by the pale moonlight that shone through the huge window front of the living room.
"I-Izaya-san…?", the brunette stuttered uncertainly, confused by the raven's sudden strange behavior.
"Mikado…", the information dealer started quietly; the lack of the usual playful tone in his voice made the teen shiver. The raven sounded different; somehow darker and kind of intimidating.
"What I want…I get. Always. And I want you."
"W-what do you mean..I-Izaya..-san…?", Mikado stammered, cursing how the weak the stutter made him sound.
A almost wicked grin split the raven's features, surprisingly sharp looking teeth glinting in the moonlight; leaving Mikado to wonder how it would feel to be bitten by those.
"I am obsessed with you, Tanaka Taro-kun. I want to mark you as my property, so no one, neither your annoying little friend Kida-kun, nor our dear, dense Shizu-chan will ever lay their filthy hands on what belongs to me again."
Mikado's heart started beating rapidly in his chest when he saw the informant pull out a familiar object; the metal blade reflecting the silvery moonlight, as Izaya let the tip of his flickblade slide over the teen's exposed throat, careful to not slice the skin yet.
The young dollar's leader's breath halted in fear and anticipation as the sharp tip dug into the skin just below his chin.
"You are mine; don't ever forget that."
