I post and I sleep. General consensus was my writing style is understandable and people can tell who is talking. Thought as much and glad you guys liked the double smut~! None in here but in the next chapter-
Shizuo: *slaps hand over Seliphra's mouth* Shh! You'll spoil the surprise damn it!
Seliphra: On a side note randomllama has some amazing stories too and you should all go check them out. Llama will be posting Lost(An AU collab with this author) And sooner or later a Kida/Mikado collab with this author. She will likely also post the other Dogs collab they have done. Seliphra does not post all her collabs with randomllama. randomllama posts some of the collaberations as well so look at her stuff! She also did a Dogs/Durarara! Crossover recently... it is EPIC!
The main talk was about Shya pulling a wig off to reveal Izaya. Only one person was watching vividly, but most people still thought Izaya looked like a girl. Either way things would be interesting for a while now. Sure enough Izaya was going to be busy with damage control for a while, especially with rumors abound that he was a chick.
In the morning -after he dared to move and shower and while Shizuo showered- he checked his usual sites to see what was posted-and mostly by Erika. Erika was only one perpetrator though... there were many others.
{Izaya's a chick!}
{No way! How can you tell?}
{I saw him acting awfully friendly with Shizuo in Shinjuku the other day!}
{I knew it! They're gay together!}
{Naw, Izaya was in girls' clothing! And he was wearing a wig at first too!} 'Damn it...' Izaya sighed. He didn't really care what other humans thought now, just Shizuo.
{What were you looking at then? A guy or a girl? Pick one.}
{Idk... he always has been androgynous right?}
{Hey, you're right... he must be a girl!}
{That's what I think!}
{Damn it no! THEY MUST BE... aw damn it, at least it's still Shizaya~} Izaya frowned, she would not be persuaded... What did the Dollars have to say about this?
{Setton\ It's crazy lately...}
{Saika\ I'm not sure what to believe...}
{Bakyura\ Izaya is a guy. He's a guy who can crawl under a rock and die, but he is definitely a guy}
{Taro Tanaka\ I dunno... I thought so too but he is pretty androgynous...}
{Kanra\ Bakyura is still as mean as ever~! Not that I blame him but for a fact! I know Izaya is... male! Male, Male Male~~}
{Bakyura\ Not you again. You know, I change my vote. Izaya is SHE~! I met HER I would know!}
{Saika\ I did too...}
{Taro Tanaka\ Yeah, same... s/he was a pretty scary person... I got bad vibes from her/him.}
{Setton has left the chat room} Izaya frowned, guess she was still upset about being deceived.
{Kanra\ Really Bakyura? Where's your proof Izaya's a chick?}
{Bakyura\ Her constant PMSing bitchy attitude =)}
{Saika\ *lol*}
{Taro Tanaka\ Hey, but if that's been Izaya was the Shya on here... Izaya Orihara then?} Izaya blinked, 'Oh yeah... Mikado's sharper than he looks.'
{Kanra\ Taro-kun's right! Shya was revealed to be Izaya, so that must mean Shya is Izaya and vice versa, therefore Izaya is a girl!} 'What the hell am I saying?' Izaya wondered.
{Bakyura\ ... I thought for sure you would fight that to the end Kanra...}
{Taro Tanaka\ So, was she acting like herself then or not? Was it all an act? Why does Izaya want Shizuo anyways? I've only known her/him to do things for personal gain...}
{Saika\ Why would Kanra fight that to the end?}
{Setton has joined} Izaya had for once asked her for help...
{Setton\ It must be love.}
{Kanra\ Has to be, don't any of you have someone special?} Izaya would have preferred if Celty was a little more reticent about that.
{Bakyura\ Izaya Orihara does NOT love. She doesn't know the meaning of the word.}
{Saika\ I have to agree with Bakyura on that one.}
{Taro Tanaka\ O-of course there's someone special to me! Not that I could ever tell him that...}
{Taro Tanaka\ HER! I mean her!}
{Kanra\ O~ho! Taro-kun, tapping the realm of taboo~ I hope all goes well for you~}
{Setton\ R-Really Taro-kun? I'm rooting for you!}
PM-Bakyura {Kanra\ You'd better hurry and catch him before someone else does~}
PM-From Bakyura {Shut it. Go die. I will}
{Taro Tanaka\ I was definitely talking about a girl! Typo! I swear!}
{Bakyura\ Hey, it's the 2000's Taro! No big deal if you're gay!}
{Saika\ ... Back to the matter at hand, Izaya really can't be in love... besides, Shizuo could do better...} Izaya frowned at that, stupid sword... He was better than any humans there after all, but that really made him question how much Shizuo did love him and since when.
{Setton\ E-Even if that's true Saika-chan, Shizuo's a good friend of mine, and I can say it is genuine love...} Even if a little on the violent side.
{Kanra\ See, The al-mighty Setton has spoken, thus is must be true!~}
{Saika\ Oh, I agree Shizuo might be in love, but there is no way Izaya is}
{Bakyura\ Hey uh...I gotta go, see you in a bit Taro~}
{Taro Tanaka\ Huh? You're coming over? Now?}
{Bakyura has logged off}
{Taro Tanaka\ Wait! Aw...well, I'll stay on until he gets here then...} Izaya smirked at that, maybe that will take those two away from this matter.
{Kanra\ Why do you think Izaya's incapable of loving Saika-chan?}
{Saika\ Have you met Izaya? All s/he's done is cause other people misery and ruin lives! I even saw him threaten to shoot someone once! S/he hurts people and manipulates them to his/her own ends! A person like that is typically known as a sociopath. Sociopaths don't love, not like normal people do}
{Setton\ I agree with you there Saika-chan} Ouch {But I-I've known Izaya for a while and... I have seen a change in him} Maybe he'll give Celty a little vacation for this
{Saika\ I'll believe it when I see it myself...}
{Taro Tanaka\ Same. Oops, Bakyura's here...see you later!}
{Taro Tanaka has logged out}
Shizuo was out of the shower by now, though he wasn't too keen on the thought of wearing his sweaty clothes from the night before. He wrapped a towel around his waist for now though.
"Maybe he'll actually learn something from me~" Izaya chuckled. The informant smirked wondering how long it will take the leader of the Yellow Scarves to bed his best friend. Not long at all was Izaya's bet.
"Izaya, I need your washing machine," Shizuo grumbled from the hallway.
{Saika\ Eh, sorry, I'm gonna go too, I have some homework to finish. Talk to you all later!}
{Saika has logged out}
{Kanra has logged out}
{Setton has logged out}
Izaya stood and eyed the blonde before smirking.
"Maybe you should leave a set here from now on?" He suggested, though he put a load of laundry through the wash though, including Shizuo's clothing. That was not a bad idea at all in Shizuo's mind either, it would mean they were in a real and solidified relationship.
"Maybe," The blonde shrugged, wondering what Izaya had been up to on his precious online world.
"We might not be the only gay couple in Ikebukuro~" Izaya grinned.
"Technically we're not in Ikebukuro right now," Shizuo pointed out, "and whose lives have you been toying with now?"
"True, but the Ikebukuro and Shinjuku area... Either way, we're not alone~" Izaya grinned, "and not 'toying' so much as 'teaching' them." Shizuo frowned at the informant.
"There's a difference?" with normal people, yes, but not with his flea.
"Oh relax, I'm being nice!" Izaya got up and went over to Shizuo.
"Right..." He wasn't sure he should believe it, but Izaya had proven he could fall in love of all things...so who knew?
"Do you have to work today?"
"Yeah, but not 'till later," Shizuo shrugged. They did more of their collections in the evening times since it was easier to catch people. Sometimes they would go early morning though if someone was doing a particularly good job avoiding them though.
"Okay, well it's not as though your clothes were ready yet either~" Izaya grinned.
"Yeah. Pretty sure it'd be hard to work like this," He grinned back at the informant, clearly amused.
"You'd probably scare more people that way~" Izaya teased, making Shizuo shrug one shoulder. He was muscular he supposed, even if his frame was much thinner than it should be. To be able to lift vending machines he should be thick set and look more like Simon.
'No reaction? Fine then,' Izaya thought.
"You hungry Shizu-chan?" The informant moved past him to the kitchen as he spoke.
"Yeah," The blonde replied with a grin.
"Then you'll have to make do with what I cook," The informant pranced around the kitchen gathering supplies. Shizuo figured that as long as Izaya COULD cook it was no big deal and besides, he was only able to make really simple stuff himself, so if Izaya had housewife qualities all the better right? He could cook it seemed, and made enough for two to last them until dinner time.
"If you're still hungry I can make more"
"Naw, I'm sure I'll be fine..." He said, looking at the food, mildly suspicious of it, "it isn't poisoned is it?"
"Why would I poison myself Shizu-chan?" Izaya frowned at the accusation as Shizuo shrugged again.
"Just checking..." He mumbled but he ate it all the same.
"Aw, you don't trust me~~?" Izaya pouted, munching the meal
"...It would be really foolish of me to trust you," the bodyguard pointed out.
"And yet you can make love to me no problem," Izaya huffed.
"That's different. Do I have to remind you of the fact that you've had me hit by a truck twice?"
"Don't forget shot," Izaya added with a grin.
"Technically that was the yellow scarves, but it was your fault the conflict got that bad... oh, and you've stabbed or cut me about a hundred times. I've learned you're very untrustworthy and therefore I shouldn't," He said simply.
"That was when I hated you," Izaya reminded, though he only started loving Shizuo after their second date.
"Mm. I'm still not sure you really love me," He pointed out. He didn't trust Izaya as far as Shinra could throw a vending machine.
"How can you doubt me?" Izaya asked, "I meant it Shizu-chan."
"You want me to prove I'm human, something everyone else can simply take for granted yet you expect me to trust you just with those words? You're going to have to prove yourself too you know,"
"But that sounds like work Shizu-chan," Izaya frowned at that, hurt that Shizuo didn't trust him.
"Relationships take work. From both sides," He said, watching the informant. He didn't mean to be well... mean, but Izaya wouldn't accept it if he wasn't blunt about it either. Izaya finished eating in silence then, he didn't want to... He had already done enough while pretending to be a girl, didn't that count? It did and it didn't in Shizuo's mind. After all he had technically been lying during that time too only further proving Shizuo's point, but Izaya had never been in a real relationship before and he had no way of knowing these things either. Izaya cleaned the dishes and checked Shizuo's laundry... Oops... His white shirt wasn't white anymore. Izaya left something of Shya's collection and it was pink.
Shizuo frowned but it would get him home so he could change at least. Either way at least his clothing was clean... Izaya tried not to laugh, but pink kind of did look good on Shizuo, and he watched the blonde leave before doing something and then trolled the internet. Shizuo went home as fast as his legs could carry him. He didn't want to be caught wearing pink damn it! Still most people didn't notice or were smart enough not to mention anything.
Even Celty saw it and ignored it but inside she had several questions and about ten minutes of laughter contained. Izaya decided NOT to troll about Shizuo's pink shirt, it was his fault after all and wanted to try and prove himself to Shizuo as Shizuo had raised several unfortunately valid points. It would be a start too, proving that Izaya could avoid taunting him if he really wanted to. Either way the only person who did dare mention it got sent flying half way to Okinawa.
"That's my Shizu-chan..." Izaya declared when he later read about it over the net. He did love the blonde, but Shizuo expected him to show it and stuff... That would be hard for Izaya, as this was his first love. Of course asking for help never killed anyone before and though Celty was angry at him for lying to her and tricking her, she would do what she could to make the relationship work for Shizuo's sake. He was sort-of like her best friend after all. Izaya soon realized that was his only option too, as he ran through the people he did know. She was the most likely to be of any help, but not today, he wanted to try and figure it out himself first and spent the day stressing over it so much that he didn't sleep peacefully.
Seliphra: Woo! Lots of online chats! And in the next chapter-*gets shot*
Izaya: Stop giving spoilers!
Shizuo: You killed her... *pokes Seliphra's body with a stick*
Izaya: No, if she was dead this wouldn't exist.
Shizuo: Huh?
Izaya: We are figments of her mind Shizuo, we aren't real. Seliphra is, randomllama is, but otherwise... not a single thing is real!
Shizuo: ...I'm confused *sadface*
Izaya: I know... now humans, if you want to revive the author then review! Reviews will revive the author and get her editing and writing more!
