Hellow-mellow, minna-san!

Neways, I really wanted to give you guys another chapter as soon as possible, plus this chapter practically begged me to be written right away o:
So yeah, without any further ado (after all you didn't come to read me ramble about random shit), here's the next chapter!
Enjoy~!
Part 22 – The Importance of Being Earnest with Yourself
Yes, he certainly wouldn't think about that guy for the next few hours.
Or so the teen thought.
Until an all too familiar voice ripped him out of his daydream.
"My, my~ if that isn't Mikado-kun's class. Nice to meet you, I am Orihara Izaya…Mikado's husband. And by the looks of it, I will be your math teacher for today~!"
Mikado's eyes shot open.
You gotta be kidding me.
Mikado shot up from his seat, when his eyes fell on the Information Dealer who was currently leaning casually against the teacher's desk, with a playful smirk on his features and looking as handsome as ever.
Wait…handsome? What was he thinking again! Focus, Mikado!
"W-what are you doing here..?!", he addressed the elder in disbelief, not even bothering to keep his voice down. Why was Izaya here? And at that time, on top of all!
The raven's expression turned serious as he stepped away from the desk and made his way through the classroom, until he was standing directly in front of the shocked brunette.
Grasping the teen's chin gently, he spoke softly:
"I missed you."
Mikado's face went beet-red at the others words, slapping away the man's hand and turning his gaze away from the elder.
"I-Idiot…I'm still mad at you…", he whispered, clenching his hands into fists.
The raven haired Informant sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, Mikado-chan. If you want to be friends with that airhead Shizu-chan, it's fine with me. But isn't it only natural that I'd get jealous when he's got his hands all over you..?"
"I-I told you, it wasn't like that…!", the teen protested at that, but found himself unable to speak when he saw the intense look the other was giving him.
"I know. But…I should be the only one who is allowed to touch you...", the sly man whispered lowly, before leaning in to the flustered brunette.
His lips were just about to touch the boy's ones, when a sudden loud squeal made the teen jump in surprise and reminded them both that they weren't the only people in the room.
"I KNEW IT~! Ryuugamine is dating that hot guy!", the girl who was the current president of the IzaMika fanclub squealed in delight.
"W-wait..It's not what you-…w-we aren't really..Argh, Izaya-san, say something!", the teen cried out in desperation as he tried to protest against the whispers and comments that spread through the whole class at that moment.
Izaya just smiled slyly, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly. "Why deny it now, Mi~ka~do-chan? I mean, after all we have done~-"
"IZAYA-SAN!", the teen interrupted him quickly, face flushed a cute shade of pink in embarrassment.
"Wh-what are you doing here anyway? Where is Sensei..?", Mikado quickly tried to change the topic.
Izaya just grinned at that. "Let's just say, I convinced her to take the day off~"
"Y-You probably don't even know how to teach math..! Why did you do that..?", the teen asked perplexed.
"Why? Isn't the answer obvious..? I wanted to see you.", the informant stated bluntly.
Did he even know how fast he made Mikado's heart beat with those words?
Such an…idiot.

Mikado bit his lower lip in irritation, as he once again caught himself staring at the Informant, who now had his back turned to the teen as he wrote some equations on the blackboard for the class to solve.
The teen had never really thought about it…but the raven haired man seemed to be pretty popular with women. Just a glance at his female class mates proved it: every single one of them was ogling the handsome man with dreamy eyes, batting their eyelashes and playing with their hair.
To be honest: Mikado didn't like it one bit.
On top of all…didn't they all know he was married to Izaya? Seriously, how low can those girls sink, flirting with someone's husband!
…
Wait a second.
He did not just get jealous over Izaya.
And he certainly did not just think of that guy as his 'husband'!
Argh…! What the hell is wrong with me?! Why am I letting that idiot screw with my thoughts so much? He probably enjoys all that attention…that self-centered, little-..!
Mikado was ripped out of his thoughts, when he suddenly felt a pair of lips upon his own.
He had been so deep in thought, he didn't even realize the elder making his way to his desk.
All he could do was blink in confusion, before the raven pulled away with a mischievous smile.
There was really nothing cuter than seeing the shy brunette's face go several shades of pink at his action.
"W-w-w-what do you think you're doing..?!", the boy half-squeaked, covering his quivering lips with his hand.
"You looked mad, so I thought I'd give you a kiss to cheer you up~!", the elder chirped, before skipping back to the blackboard to resume his 'teaching'.
Mikado let his head fall on his desk with an exasperated growl, trying to ignore his racing heartbeat and the butterflies in his stomach.
This was the worst.
xxx
He was trying to concentrate on solving those math problems. He really was.
But it was kind of hard, with that stupid Informant sitting cross-legged on the teacher's desk and chatting with his fangirls and other students.
"Ne, ne, how old are you, Izaya-san?"
"I am 21, of course~", the raven replied with a small laugh.
Hey, hey…don't lie about your age, like some woman in her late thirties…, Mikado thought to himself, while rolling his eyes inwardly, but decided to keep quiet.
"What do you do as job? Are you an actor or something?"
"Who knows~?", the elder replied mysteriously, which elicited another series of giggle from the female crowd around him.
"Are you single, Orihara-kun?", one of the girls asked flirtatiously, playing with a strand of her hair.
Izaya faked a pout. "I am married to Mikado-kun! My heart only belongs to him~"
"Why did you make all this effort to come here, Izaya-san..? Did you have a fight with Ryuugamine?"
Mikado flinched slightly, but kept his head low, trying to focus on the equations on the paper in front of him, but his eyes didn't even read them at all.
The teen didn't need to look up to know that Izaya was looking at him at the moment. He could feel the others eyes on him, but he pretended he wouldn't notice; even when the other addressed him directly.
"You didn't come home last night. I can't sleep when you are not beside me, Mikado."
Mikado bit his lip, squeezing his eyes shut, feeling his face heat up like it was on fire.
Stop this..! You are just playing around, stop sounding like you would be serious about me…
That's just cruel.
This couldn't go on. He had to tell him off. Because his heart couldn't take any more of this teasing.
Without uttering a word, the teen jumped up from his seat and made his way through the classroom, ignoring how red his face must be at this moment and how the whole class was looking at him right now.
Grabbing the puzzled Informants wrist, he pulled the man off the desk and dragged him out of the classroom, slamming the door shut behind them.
After he put some distance between them and his classmates, he turned into an abandoned corridor and faced the raven haired man.
"Y-You know, Izaya…", he spoke up loudly, not bothering to use a honorific, his eyes cast down all the time.
"J-Just..stop it, okay?"
He could hear the others confusion in the man's voice, when he asked:
"What do you mean, Mikado-kun..? Are you still mad at me?"
Mikado took a shaky breath, gripping the fabric of his trouser legs to still the trembling of his hands as he forced out:
"C-Cut it out already! I-I'm not stupid you know…"
"Mikado..?"
"I know that I'm not particularly good-looking or interesting or anything..I know that! And I know that in real life, no one falls in love with people like me…especially not someone like you.."
"What are you talking about..?"
"L-let me talk..! You might think this is some entertaining game, screwing with my mind, making me fall in love with you..j-just to dump me afterwards, to see what kind of reaction you'd get from me.."
"W-what..?"
"But I'm fed up with this..! Did I ever do anything to you, t-to have you do something so cruel to me..?"
Mikado could feel the hot tears streaking down his face by now, dripping down his chin and hitting the floor. He hated himself for being so weak, exposing this pathetic side to the other, but he had to say this now, to protect himself.
"B-because I know that..I could never take this…s-so stop messing with me..! I'll do anything..but stop this twisted game of yours..p-please…"
His hands tried to wipe the tears away from his eyes, but the crying simply wouldn't stop and by now his shoulders were shaking with sobs. He despised himself so much right now.
Suddenly his hands were pried away from his face and he was pinned against the wall behind him. His vision was blurry from the tears welling up in his eyes, but he could tell Izaya had dropped his faked cheerful act. Those crimson orbs bore their way right into his soul, and the teen didn't like how exposed it made him feel.
"Mikado…", the raven whispered, his voice much softer than Mikado had expected.
"I am not playing around. This is neither a trick, nor a game. I am in love with you. I'll say it as many times as necessary, until you believe me."
The boy clenched his eyes shut, struggling against the taller male's hold, but his efforts were futile.
"Don't fuck with me..! W-why me..? Why now..? It doesn't make sense at all..!", he cried out, still unable to stop the tears from flowing.
Izaya licked away the teen's tears slowly, before resting his forehead against the brunette's, locking eyes with the teen.
"I-I don't know myself. But I can't stop thinking about you. I want you to be mine alone, I want to hold you, to touch you. I desire you with every part of my being. What would you call this, then?"
Mikado needed to look away now. Because the raven's sweet words, combined with those beautiful ruby orbs staring down into the deepest corner of his soul will definitely make him weak again.
Shizuo-san's words flashed through his mind:
"Y'know…that sounds an awful lot like…you're in love with the flea."
"…e-even someone like him wouldn't joke around if it's about l-love."
"Just don't be too hard on him, okay..? It really seems like…that flea's in love in with you."
"B-But…it can't be..", he murmured softly, feeling like he was losing himself in this auburn abyss…
The raven-haired informant seemed irritated too at this point, gritting his teeth slightly as he spoke:
"Do you think this is easy for me? I have always loved humans, but this is simply..It is so different from what I feel for other human beings. You make me lose my cool and I feel so jealous whenever someone just looks at you. Do you think it was coincidence that I was the one your parents ended up being indebted to? Of course not. Do you really think I wouldn't know who the child of my clients is? I'm an informant, after all. This was my only chance to get closer to you, to make you mine. So you could never run away from me again."
This can't be true.
It's just a cruel joke. This is Orihara Izaya. There is just no way he is telling the truth…
"L-Liar…", Mikado breathed out, heart thrumming so hard in his chest the teen was sure the Informant could hear it.
He grip on his wrists got gentler, and the brunette could feel his breath hitch as the other leaned in more; their lips were now so close that he could feel the raven's breath on his trembling lips.
"Just what do I have to do to make you believe me..? Please, be mine…Ryuugamine Mikado."
With that, Izaya closed the distance between their lips.
Mikado's thoughts had been racing in his head all this time, but the second he felt the elder's lips upon his own, his mind went completely blank.
They had kissed so many times before…but why did it feel so different this time?
Izaya's kisses had always felt good, but this one was so tender, so gentle…
It left a bitter-sweet sting in the teen's heart, that skipped a beat or two at the action.
Mikado who had stopped crying by now could feel the hot tears well up in his eyes anew as they fluttered close slowly as he was over-whelmed by this entirely new sensation.
Izaya had been so open and honest to him…he had never seen the Informant so vulnerable.
And yet…
He still couldn't believe him.
Because it was just…
…too good to be true.

"Mikado…", the raven whispered tenderly, as he brought his hands to the teen's face to cup it gently, wiping away the tears with his thumbs.
"P-please…", the teen begged quietly, lips quivering and face a dark red. "…don't torture me like that."
That was probably the moment when Orihara Izaya realized.
The young Dollars leader was head over heels in love with him.
Izaya laughed softly, before pressing his lips upon the teen's once more.
"Mikado, I don't care what you say…I love you. There's nothing that could change that fact."
And he was going to make the teen admit it. He was going to make Ryuugamine Mikado say: 'I love you'.
He kissed the small brunette again. And again.
"And I'll do whatever it takes for you to believe me."
Mikado hated himself. He hated himself, as he gave in to the temptation and let the Informant hold him close, as he put his hands around the elder's neck while he was kissed again and again.
Love is such a cruel thing.
xxx
Mikado did really not know what he was doing right now. He knew his class was waiting for them to return and that it couldn't be long until one of them decided to go and look for him and the informant. Or even worse, a teacher could pass by and see them.
So why didn't his body seem to care in the least?
"A-Ah..Izaya-san..n-not here…p-please..we're at school..!", the teen protested weekly between gasps as the elder had gone from heatedly kissing the brunette's lips to assaulting the smaller male's neck with sucks and kisses.
"I don't care…", the raven murmured huskily against the teen's neck before dragging his tongue all the way up the boy's throat before nibbling playfully on his prey's jawbone which earned him an adorable small whine from the smaller male.
Mikado gasped when a hand slowly slid under his cloth shirt and began exploring the naked skin underneath. He wanted to protest but his words were muffled by the elder's lips covering his again.
The teen shuddered as the informant started caressing his chest slowly, while the raven's tongue was moving around in his mouth, so skillfully delicious Mikado might have moaned into the kiss.
Was it just his imagination..or was his body reacting even stronger now than usually?
"H-Hnn…!", the teen whimpered, arching his back as his nipple received a playful pinch by the sly informant.
Mikado couldn't help his eyes from fluttering shut and his mind completely succumbing to the sensations once again. Why were his defenses so low? They were in school, goddamn!
His hands clutched the fabric of the raven's shirt as he clung to the elders shoulders for support; and when he felt the man slowly pulling away from their kiss he actually found himself following the motion to prevent the other one from withdrawing, now taking the initiative.
His timid tongue poked experimentally into the taller male's cavern; pleased with the elder's taste flooding his senses, he got bolder and flicked his wet muscle against the other's tongue. Izaya was caught off guard for a second by the teen's action, but soon parted his lips further to allow the brunette to take charge, while his hand continued to rub the teen's soft skin gently, cold fingers sliding over heated skin as the only sound that filled the corridor was their wet kissing and occasional groans of pleasure.
Mikado simply loved exploring the others mouth, god, how he loved the other's intoxicating taste. Why did he find everything about the Informant so irresistible and perfect?
The man's scent and taste that were flooding his senses; the feel of the elder's tongue sliding against his; the man's silky hair he loved to bury his hands in…
The young dollars leader did his best to stretch and stand on his tip toes to deepen the kiss with the raven, which soon turned open-mouthed due to the teen's need to gasp for air; but even so he didn't want to end this wonderful sensation, their tongues continuing to heatedly flick and slide against each other.
But all of the boy's efforts to keep the kiss lasting as long as possible were crushed when the informant started to play with his right nipple through the thin fabric of his cloth shirt, while his other hand traced teasing circles on the naked skin of the small of his back; leaving the teen no other option but to collapse against the elder's chest with a needy whine.
"A-Ahhn…Iza..ya-saann…", he moaned as he felt his body heat up even more, the sensations sending excited shudders down his spine; he could feel the blood pulsate in his veins, rushing towards his groin and making him feel lightheaded with lust.
"Mikado-chan…", the raven purred against his temple, as he once again took the initiative and pushed the teen back against the wall, caressing the teen's clothed chest, flicking his fingers against the erect bud before kneading it between two fingers, humming pleased at the boy's pleasure-filled whimper. The fact that the teen's legs were trembling didn't go unnoticed by the elder, as he pressed his knee in between them; both to keep the brunette up and to tease the forming bulge in the young Dollars leader's trousers.
"Mhhnn…aahhn..n-not..there..!", Mikado protested weakly between moans as one of the Informant's sly hands slid over his inner high teasingly, inching closer to his growing need torturously.
"I've only been touching your chest so far and you're already this hard~", the raven cooed playfully, tracing the teen's erection with his fingertips through the fabric; the touch so feathery light it drove Mikado insane. "Has your body become addicted to my touch~?"
"Tha-..that's..hn..not it..", the teen breathed out, face deep red as he tried to fight the urge to just beg for the elder to finally touch him there properly, because this teasing was really unbearable..!
"Ah..? What is it then~?", Izaya whispered with a small smirk as he traced his fingers up and down the hard lump, careful to not add much pressure yet, relishing the way he could feel the boy's erection practically twitch in lust under his touch, while his victim's breath went faster and faster, coming out in ragged gasps of pleasure and hisses of restraint.
"T-..teenage…h-hormones..?", Mikado suggested weakly, teeth biting down on a plump lip soon after as he was forced to throw his head back in pleasure because the sly raven now cupped the hard bulge with his hand, the elder's palm rubbing in the exactly right place…oh god..
"Is that so?", the informant replied with a small smile, leaning in to plant a kiss on the teen's flushed cheek gently while his hand slowly added more pressure to the rubbing; because the brunette's face with eyes squeezed shut and teeth biting a trembling lower lip to suppress the embarrassing noises that slipped from his throat either ways was simply so adorable.
"Then I guess I have no choice but to give your hormone-ruled body what it wants, right~?", Izaya purred quietly, before starting to undo the shuddering boy's uniform trousers, smirking at the shaky gasp that escaped the brunette's mouth when he finally slipped his hand into the young gang leaders boxers and grasped a hold of the boy's needily twitching erection.
"G-Gaah…! I-Iza…I-Izaya-kun..please…", the small male whimpered wantonly; hips thrusting up to encourage the elder to start moving his hand already..!
"Hai, hai…~", Izaya appeased the impatient teen as he started sliding his long fingers up and down the long shaft in a steady pace. The noises Mikado was making and the way the informant's name slipped so erotically intimate from the boy's lips made the raven almost lose his self-control, but he willed his own desire down as his hand picked up the pace slightly, stroking the teen's erection faster and paying special attention to the sensitive head, packed with nerve-ends, which made the brunette moan and trash around beautifully, it was such an arousing sight…
But no; he had to be patient…He couldn't give into the temptation, even if the small brunette leaned heavily panting against the wall behind him; the cloth shirt rode up his hip to reveal the silky smooth skin of the teen's stomach; and those beautiful pink, plump lips were quivering as moans and whimpers slipped past them, while the boy tossed his head in pleasure with every tug and stroke on his cute little leaking erection…
Izaya let out a small growl of frustration, closing his eyes to the alluring sight in front of him as he quickened his hand's motions, pumping the young student's length hard and fast, determined to finish the teen off as soon as possible, before those moans drove him insane…
The informant knew he had to keep his control now; if he played his cards right the young Dollars leader would not only admit his love soon, but also lie in his arms and beg to be taken…
Mikado gasped when the informant's hand pumped his erection faster and rubbed his sensitive tip hard oh heavens and his eyes might have rolled back in his head when the elder dug a finger into the slit of his length that was at this point already dripping with pre-cum; the brunette could feel his climax approaching quickly, the coiling in his stomach became unbearable, his head was spinning, he was so goddamn close…!
He just needed a little more, just a bit..!
He knew that all that left his mouth by now were incoherent words between moans and gasps of pleasure, but he still hoped the elder understood his plea to be finished off already, because if he was forced to dance on the brink of release any longer, he was sure he would faint..!
The teen's eyes were completely clouded by lust and the haze of pleasure the raven's skillful hand was delivering; so he didn't notice the small mischievous smile that spread on the informant's features. The boy was therefore caught completely off-guard when the taller male's other hand did something rather unexpected; which was to slip into the back of the teen's trousers.
Before Mikado could fully process what was happened, the elder slipped his fingers between the brunette's buttocks and all of a sudden stuck a finger into the teen's entrance.
The reaction followed almost immediately, as orgasm hit the student unexpectedly hard, body shuddering hard from the immense rush of pleasure that washed over him as the boy climaxed with a breathless cry of: "I-I..zaya-kun..!"
Mikado collapsed against the informant's strong frame, body still trembling from the aftermath of his intense orgasm, chest heaving hard as he gasped for air to regain his breath.
Izaya just snickered quietly as he licked the boy's semen off his fingers, while withdrawing his other hand from the teen's pants too.
"J-Just..where..do you think..are you putting your fingers…?!", the brunette growled irritated between heavy breaths, shaking hands clutching the elder's shirt while his head rested against the man's strong chest.
"You seemed to like it very much, though..~", the informant teased, laughing. The boy's reaction had been quite intense indeed, much to the sly raven's liking.
It was almost as if the younger male's body was made to be fucked by him…
No, Izaya! Bad trail of thought…
"J-Just..give me a warning next time you're going to do..something like that..", the teen mumbled in response, embarrassed by the fact that he couldn't really deny the elder's statement.
"Next time~?", Izaya mused, smirking, while petting the exhausted highschooler's head gently. "Does that mean Mikado-kun wants me to do things like that with him again~?"
"T-That's not what I-..! I just meant that-..argh..j-just shut up..!", the teen sputtered in protest, hiding his face at the elder's chest, but Izaya could see that his ear tips were flaring red.
"You are so cute…", the informant smiled, before pressing a kiss into the boy's dark soft locks.
"I-Idiot…"
He was so not in love with that man. This wasn't love. No way it was…

Think about the most embarrassing that ever happened in your life. Recall it in your memory.
Now think about it; was this as embarrassing as being caught not only by a few of your classmates, but also by your homeroom teacher while you were passionately kissing an adult in a school corridor, while your clothes were still ruffled and made it more than obvious that there had been more going on than just some chaste pecking between you two?
Not forget to mention that you both being guys.
You were most probably not half as mortified as Ryuugamine Mikado felt at this moment.
Fortunately, not only the classmates but also the teacher that saw them were female and more or less supportive of what they called a 'hot make out session with his husband'.
As much as Mikado tried to convince them it really wasn't like that, his protests fell upon deaf ears. Admitting defeat, the teen grabbed his husband's wrist and pulled the elder away from his mid-thirties homeroom teacher who just asked the informant if he by any chance was also interested in women and what he thought of polygamous relationships.

"Ne, ne Orihara-kun~ Tell us how Ryuugamine and you met!"
"Shouldn't you be solving this equation, young lady~?", the informant countered laughing, once again sitting cross-legged on the teacher's desk, supervising the class' math period. Or at least that was what he was asked to do by the flirtatious homeroom teacher. In reality he was just watching his cute little Mikado-kun solve the problems he gave them.
The equations were much too hard to solve for a first year high school student, and most of the class already realized and now indulged in other activities, but Izaya simply loved the way the young brunette furrowed his brow and tapped his pen against that pouty mouth of his whenever he encountered a problem he had difficulties with.
And seeing as the young Dollars leader was exceptionally smart (after all he had placed first in the entrance exam, yes, Izaya did his research), the informant had to pick a senior year math book to get to see this adorable sight.
"You are not working either, Senseeiii~", one of the girls teased, giggling.
"That's right!", her friend agreed. "You are just watching Ryuugamine, aren't you?"
Izaya wasn't even listening anymore, because his eyes were glued on the object of his desires who was by now starting to look irritated, with such a cute pout, and now he started biting on his lower lip…
He only snapped out of it when one of the girls waved a hand in front of his face. "Sensei! No spacing out~"
"Sorry~", the elder laughed, smirking when Mikado finally realized his stare and looked up from his math problems. "I was just wondering how Mikado-kun would look in a girl's school uniform~", he chuckled, loud enough for the teen to hear, who in return flushed red to the roots of his hair.
That look was even worth the math book that was thrown into his face afterwards.
xxx
Mikado sighed in relief when the math period finally came to an end. Gathering his books together after the bell rang, he quickly tried to sneak out of the room to his next period, blending in the crowd of chatting and shoving students that had to change rooms too.
Unfortunately, he was not so lucky to get away like that; as he suddenly found his way blocked by a smirking parka-wearing maniac aka temporary math teacher.
"Where do you think you are going, Mi-ka-do~?", the elder chirped, tugging the teen behind the next corner quickly.
"You could at least say good-bye~", he purred, leaning in predatory closer to the flustered boy.
"G-Good bye, Izaya-san…", Mikado mumbled embarrassed, the taller male's proximity making him nervous all of a sudden. "Or rather…", the teen spoke up again, catching the raven off-guard when the brunette suddenly stood on hid tip toes and pressed a shy kiss on the other's lips. "S-See you later…", he whispered, face beet-red, before quickly hurrying off in the direction of his next class.
Izaya snickered quietly, as he traced his lips where the smaller male had kissed him.
Just why is this boy so adorable…?
xxx
Mikado was goddamn exhausted. He had already figured that the next classes would be hell, but he'd never imagined it would be this annoying.
He really needed to spend some time with people who treated him normally, or else he was sure to go insane. Luckily, he still had his friends Sonohara-san and Masaomi-kun, right?
"I'm really sorry, Ryuugamine-kun!", the bespectacled female apologized hastily, while bowing deeply to him. "But I promised my neighbor that I would help her move some boxes from her basement today..And she is already old, so I'd rather not leave her to do it alone…"
The brunette smiled in understanding. "No problem. See you tomorrow then!", he said as he waved the busty girl good-bye.
Sighing, he turned around to his hyperactive childhood friend. "Let me guess, you are busy too..?"
"Gomen~!", the dyed-blond exclaimed, clasping his hands together in apology. "I swear I'll make it up to you…let's go to the cinema next time, the three of us~ I might even be so nice and leave you and sexy Anri-chan alone…just the two of you in the dark~", the sly teen teased his shy friend, who flushed at the comment and hit him playfully on the head.
"Get going already, baka..", Mikado laughed, watching the bouncy teen wave at him before disappearing in the crowd of people.
As soon as the other was out of sight, the brunette let out a deep sigh.
Now great..what do I do now..? Izaya is out working, so returning home makes no sense…
Suddenly, the teen remembered the one person who he could turn to at this moment, because his work wouldn't start until the late evening hours.
Hesitating slightly, the young gang leader pulled out his cell phone and opened it, looking at the number that had just been added to his contacts this morning.
The blond man said to call him whenever he felt like talking. And he could really need some company now…
But he really didn't want to intrude on the debt collector. After all, they saw each other just this morning; and he didn't want to push his company upon the elder.
Sending a mail and asking what he's doing won't hurt…he doesn't even need to answer right away.
Having made up his mind, he sent a quick text to the blond while strolling through the streets casually. He could also do some shopping while he was at it; after all, the informant didn't seem like the person to remember to do things like that. He had some extra money anyways, since he now didn't need to pay rent anymore.
Just as he was searching the supermarket shelves for a sale on dried salmon, a small ring informed him that he had received a text.
Pulling out the device curiously, he saw that it was a reply from Shizuo-san.
Imnot really doing much..how wasschool by the way?sorry thistook so long,, im not good with those damnthings – Shizuo
Mikado chuckled softly when he read the slightly messed up message. By 'those damnthings', he figured the blond meant cell phones. That was not really a surprise to the teen; he didn't even take the strong man as the type to own such a thing in the first place.
Smiling, he typed a quick reply. About 10 minutes later, he received a reply from the blond.
why dont you come,,over when youre finished? i hate typingwith those things
i'll give you myadress
Did he just read right? Come over…to Heiwajima Shizuo's home?
And really, when he scrolled down, there was an address, about 3 blocks from where he was right now. He figured it would be about 10 minutes to walk there. But should he really do it?
The thought filled him both with awe and excitement. Paying for his groceries, he typed a quick 'OK' and then headed towards the address the elder had told him.
xxx
Mikado had to admit, he was kind of nervous as he stood in front of the door which led to the blonde's apartment. It wasn't as beat down as his former place, but it was still a very dangerous neighborhood. Not that Ikebukuro's fortissimo had to worry about getting beat up by thugs, though.
Taking a deep breath, the teen finally rang the doorbell, waiting for the strong man to open.
But what the brunette saw when the door finally opened was both unexpected and kind of breath-taking.
Which was a shirt-less and sleepy Heiwajima Shizuo with tousled hair, who greeted him with a yawned: "Yo…C'mon in.."
Wow..that's the first time I see Shizuo-san not wearing a bartender uniform...and g-god..is he muscular!
"I-I'm sorry..! Did I wake you with my texts, Shizuo-san..?", the teen apologized quickly, letting out a small yelp when he was suddenly pulled inside by the taller male.
"Nah, it's fine…I'm glad you came over..", the debt collector murmured sleepily, ruffling the brunette's soft locks as he closed the door behind them.
"Did you still not treat that wound, Shizuo-san..?", the young student scolded, tracing the cut on the taller male's neck, that the informant had inflicted on the blond the other day, with a worried expression.
A slight blush swept Shizuo's face at the action, the man averting his eyes quickly. "This is nothing…it'll heal on its own..", he half-growled, while making his way back into the bedroom, flopping back down on the mattress with exasperated sigh.
"And what if it infects?", Mikado asked, leaning over the lying blond with a small pout.
He's just as stubborn as Izaya sometimes…
"It won't.", the elder simply stated, before pulling down the brunette on the bed too, who gave a small squeak at the action. Shizuo just hummed contently, closing his eyes and hugging the small teen to his chest.
"I'm not a teddy bear, Shizuo-san…", the young student complained, slightly flustered from the fact that he was lying on the man's naked chest and could feel the blonde's warm skin beneath his hands and against his face.
"But you're still so good to cuddle with…", Shizuo murmured, dozing off already while still holding unto the boy on top of him.

Okay, Mikado had to admit: once he got over his embarrassment, this position felt really good. He could feel the strong man's calm heartbeat beneath his ear and the arms embracing him were as gentle as always when the blond held him.
He really couldn't understand how someone could be called a monster who was able to hold you so tenderly…
"So…how was school..?", the debt collector asked yawning. Mikado could feel every movement of the other's muscles when the man moved and the elder's low, rough voice resonated through his body when the blond spoke.
Snuggling his face more comfortable to the taller male's muscular chest, he answered slowly:
"Izaya-san was there…"
He could feel Shizuo's body tense up at the mentioning of the informant's name, but the man relaxed again when the teen put his hand over the blonde's hand to calm the man.
"What did he want..?"
"He apologized. He said if I really want to be friends with you, he won't interfere again.", Mikado answered with a small smile, interlocking his fingers with the elder's.
"A-Ah. That's good.", Shizuo replied shortly, glad about the fact that the teen couldn't see the blush that had spread on his face.
"Did something else happen..?", the blond asked slowly, thumb caressing the back of the boy's hand gently.
"Well…kind of…", the teen answered, with a slightly irritated tone in his voice, as he told the ex-bartender how his day had continued after the informant had left.
"Now that everyone knows I am married to that guy, all the girls keep running after me and ask me weird and embarrassing questions.. But the boys are even worse! I thought that they'd maybe shun me, because they think it's disgusting or anything…But right now, they all treat me like a girl!"
"Hm..? How so?"
Mikado blushed slightly, when he recalled what he had to endure the whole day.
"W-well..they call me 'Mikado-chan', t-they slap my butt..and today in PE they made photos while I was changing..", the boy admitted embarrassed, yelping in surprise when the blond beneath him sat up suddenly, causing the brunette to almost fall off the bed.
"WHAT?! How dare they lay their dirty hands on you, those horny little brats..!", the strong man raged.
"I-it's just some kind of joke, Shizuo-san..! No need to be upset…I'm sure they'll stop it eventually…", Mikado tried to calm the elder down again.
Finally, the taller male lied back down with a sighed "fine…", pulling the teen back down on him again.
"But tell me when those brats take it too far…", he growled, earning a small, adorable chuckle from the brunette on top of him.
"Don't worry, I'm fine! By the way, it can't get much worse than that guy confessing to me today…"
"W-what..? A guy confessed to you? Who?!"
"An underclassman…'Kuronuma'-kun, I think..?", Mikado replied with a small embarrassed laugh. "It was just a joke, I think.."
Shizuo just growled displeased.
"Better watch out…You emit way more pheromones than it's good for you. You already got one pervert chasing after you…"
"S-Shizuo-san..!", the teen protested, while blushing, but couldn't help laughing anyways.
I'm so glad I have Shizuo-san…

Mikado let out a small yawn when he finally entered the raven's apartment; slipping off his shoes and putting away his school bag, he went into the kitchen and started unpacking the groceries. Of course only after feeding a very disgruntled Shizu-ko, who still seemed mad at him that he didn't return home the last night and left him alone with Izaya.
"Gomen..", the teen whispered smiling, while petting the eating kitten's head, before straightening up to prepare dinner. Now that he finally restocked the fridge, he could cook something nice for Izaya-san.
It was only about half an hour later that Mikado heard his 'husband' arriving.
"Welcome home, Izaya-san!", the teen called out smiling, turning off the gas as he stepped away from the stove.
Suddenly realizing how housewife-ish he had just behaved, the teen mentally slapped himself, flushing a deep-red.
He was ripped out of his thoughts when all of sudden Izaya hugged him from behind and pressed a kiss to his neck, whispering: "I'm back."
Just how did that man always manage to sneak up on him like that..?!
Mikado flushed even darker, shuddering when the elder continued peppering his neck and jaw with kisses, completely ignoring the teen's futile attempts to push the raven off.
"I-Izaya-san…!", he protested flustered, managing to turn around in the man's embrace so he could now face the informant.
The sly maniac just grinned at him and asked with a purr: "Ne Mikado~ You don't have any plans yet for the upcoming weekend, do you~?"
Furrowing his brow in confusion over the sudden question, the teen shook his head slowly.
"N-No..I think not. Why are you asking?"
Suddenly the elder grabbed the brunette's one hand and held him by the waist, while spinning the boy around in a sort of waltz, while chuckling mischievously.
"Good question, Mikado~", he chirped, before dropping the teen back slightly, leaning over the puzzled boy with a smirk. "We're going on a short trip~! Or I should rather say…"
"..we're going on our honeymoon!"
Hehehe…yeah, that was it hope you liked it!
Izaya swears he is saying the truth about his feelings…but Mikado can still not trust him!
That leaves Iza-Iza no other choice but to prove his love to Mikado, right?
Also, he wants to make mika-chan admit his feelings too…will that work?
And what about that honeymoon..? what will happen, I wonder? FIND OUT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER(S)!
I hope you guys don't find it strange how shizuo and mikado are behaving together…? it's not really cheating, they are both just adorably dense but still feel very close to each other
I also have a friend like that, we cuddle like a couple all the time too, but there are no bad intentions behind it, I just like being close to her…it's kinda like that with mika and shizuo…for now, at least ;)
In case you didn't realize yet, that underclassman was no other than 'Kuronuma' Aoba, hehehe
I just had to include him indirectly xD he probably thought now that the whole school knows Mikado swings that way, he might have chances :P
