July 8

1:00pm

"Ah we're finally in Sydney." Izaya said happily as he started to get in a dark pair of jeans and a red t-shirt. He had spent half the day searching up things him and Shizuo could do in Sydney. Unfortunately the blonde was still exhausted from staying out so late so after he had gotten dressed he had collapsed onto the bed.

"Oh come on Shizu-chan, we'll never get done with all the stuff I have planned for us if you keep falling asleep." Izaya whined; when the blonde didn't wake up he sighed heavily and went to go sit next to the sleeping bodyguard.

"Shizu-chan, time to wake up." Izaya said soothingly as he gently moved his fingers through Shizuo's bleach blonde hair. He usually wasn't this gentle with the bodyguard but he just looked so…cute while he slept.

"Ugh…what do you want flea?" Shizuo said annoyed as he opened one eye to glare at the informant; Izaya just smiled and planted a gentle kiss on his lips.

"We just docked in Sydney and I want to do all the fun stuff I planned for us to do." Izaya said as he got up from the bed and went to go grab his list of things to do. Shizuo was currently rubbing his lips roughly on the back of his hands; trying to get the taste of flea off his lips.

"I'd rather relax on the ship some more." Shizuo said as he snuggled back into the bed; Izaya whimpered and started shaking the large body.

"I want to get off; being on the boat this long is making me sea sick." Izaya whined as he rubbed his grumbling belly. Shizuo sighed heavily before dragging himself off of the bed; he stood up on the carpeted floor and stretched his sore muscles.

"So what are we doing today flea?" The bodyguard asked

"Well here are our choices; we could go to the Taronga zoo, the royal botanic gardens, the Sydney Opera House, or the Sydney aquarium." Izaya said happily as he read off his list.

"I'd probably want to go to the zoo first; go on your laptop and look up some of the animal that are going to be there." Shizuo ordered as he got into a clean white t-shirt and a light pair of jeans.

"I don't need you, I already looked that up!" The informant flipped the page of his notebook and started reading his list to the blonde.

"The animals that are there are African Lions, African wild-dogs, Asian Elephants, Australian little penguins, Australian sea-lions, Black Rhinoceroses, Blue—tongue lizards, cheetahs, chimpanzees, corroboree frogs, Fijian crested iguanas, giraffes, François leaf-monkeys, Indian Rhinoceroses, koalas, Komodo dragons, leopard seals, long-nosed bandicoots, maileefowls, meerkats, platypuses, przewalski's Horses, regent hone eaters, red pandas, ring-tailed lemurs, small-clawed otters, snow leopards, Sumatran tigers, Tasmanian devils, western loulard gorillas, malayon tapirs, and Zebras!" Izaya had to take a long inhale after naming all the animals.

"We're supposed to go see all of them?" Shizuo asked socked.

"No we can see the ones we like or have never seen before." Izaya said as he stuffed his camera and cell phone into his pockets. The two males walked down from the ship and started heading towards the zoo; it was a nice day and the zoo wasn't that far so they just decided to walk. Luckily Izaya had also thought of that and had drawn up a map and written out directions for them to follow.

"Would you want to eat there or go somewhere else to eat?" Izaya asked as he flipped through his notes.

"Well we're probably going to spend the whole day there so we can get little snakes throughout the day then go out to a restaurant to eat; I don't really like the ships food…to fancy." Izaya giggled as the two got to the gates entrance.

"Damn this is expensive." Izaya sighed as he pulled out his wallet and started taking out the cash he had stored in it.

"If you pay for the entry fee I'll pay for any games or snacks we get." Shizuo said; knowing he would barely have enough to pay for his ticket; Izaya just grinned and took out more cash for Shizuo's ticket.

"Sure Shizu-chan, I know you don't make as much money as me." Izaya giggled as the ticket counter girl put a wristband on their wrists.

"Have a nice day!" The women said cheerfully in a very thick Australian accent.

"You too." Izaya said politely before following the larger male into the zoo; Izaya grabbed a map of the zoo by the concession stand and started studying.

"The animal we're closest to is the cheetahs and lions; do you want to head over there?" Izaya asked as he looked up at the bored looking blonde; Shizuo just shrugged and started walking in the direction of the cat like animals. Usually he would be pretty pissed off that he was having to spend the day with the flea, but so far everything was going well so there really was no logical reason why he should get mad…that was until Izaya started holding his hand.

"What do you think you're doing flea?" Shizuo asked annoyed as he looked down at their intertwined hands.

"Well I don't want to get lost Shizu-chan; there are so many people here!" Izaya lied; there were hardly any people there at this time of day. Most people were at work. Shizuo could have threw the smaller male all the way to the other side of the continent; but he knew if he tried to let go of the flea's hand he would start fake crying and make the people around him give him dirty looks…it wasn't like he cared what complete strangers thought, it's just he didn't like being embarrassed.

"Wow look how pretty they are Shizu-chan!" Izaya said excitedly as he pointed to the cat like creatures; Shizuo just stared blankly at them as the smaller male took pictures.

"They're pretty cool." Shizuo said as he watched the lager tiger start drinking out of its water bowl; he flinched when his arm was grabbed roughly.

"Come on Shizu-chan! Let's go see the monkeys now!" Izaya said excitedly; Shizuo could have sworn he was being pulled around by a five year old instead of a twenty one year old.

"Aren't you a little old to be this excited about some monkeys?" Shizuo asked as he watched the brunet jump around excitedly; some of the moneys were sleeping in the trees planted in their habituates and the others were swinging and jumping around the habitat.

"Hey look at this one!" Izaya started laughing as the monkey in front of his started jumping up and down like him. The informant shoved his camera at the blonde and ordered him to take a picture of him and the money. After a few hours of walking around the zoo the two started to get really hungry.

"Can we go get some ice cream Shizu-chan?" Izaya asked as he rubbed his growling stomach; Shizuo nodded and started looking on the map of the zoo for an ice cream stand. Luckily there was one right by where they were so it didn't take long for them to get there.

"Two scoops of chocolate ice-cream please." Izaya said to the man at the stand, the male smiled and handed the brunet a waffle cone with his selected ice cream. Izaya went to go find them a seat as Shizuo got his ice-cream, which of course was vanilla.

"Ooohh after we eat this I want to go play that." Izaya said pointing to a booth right across from where they were sitting. It was the game were you got a ball and had to knock down all the glass bottles.

"I'll go check it out; you stay here and finish your ice cream." The blonde said as he got up from the chair and went over to the booth. Shizuo had only gotten a small scoop of ice cream and if didn't take him that long to finish it.

"You can't play the game." Shizuo said as he walked back over to the informant, Izaya stared up at him confused.

"Why?" Izaya asked; Shizuo held up a small blue bear he had won and placed it on the table.

"I just tried it and I accidentally broke the bottles." Shizuo said; he just shrugged it off and started observing his prize.

"Here, you can have it. I don't really want it." Shizuo said as he handed the stuffed animal to the flea; Izaya's face lit up and he quickly hugged the small bear to his chest.

"Thanks Shizu-chan!" Izaya said as he cuddled the blue bear; the two males spent a few more hours looking at all the animals before leaving to go get some dinner.

"Where do you want to go for dinner Shizu-chan?" Izaya asked; Shizuo pulled him into a small café and went to go sit down at a small table in the corner of the place.

"I'm probably going to order a turkey sandwich and some tea, what about you Shizu-chan?" Izaya asked as he looked up from his menu.

"I guess I'll have the same." Shizuo said; not really caring what he had to eat. After the waitress had taken their orders and they had finished their meals the two Japanese men started walking back to the cruise ship.

"This was probably the best date I've ever been on Shizu-chan." Izaya said happily as he held the bear Shizuo had given him close to his chest.

"Did he just say…date?"

"This wasn't a date flea." Shizuo said fiercely as they walked up the steps of the ship until they were up on their floor; Izaya took out their room key and opened up their room.

"Actually you're right Shizu-chan; this date is missing one thing to make it an official date."

"Oh yeah? What would that be fl…" Shizuo wasn't able to finish his sentence before the informants soft lips were connected with his own. The kiss only lasted seconds but it felt like an eternity to Izaya.

"Well, goodnight Shizu-chan!" Izaya said cheerfully as he threw himself down onto heir bed and curled up in a little ball; still hugging the blue bear.

"…."

"….."

"…"

"IIIIIZZZAAAAYYYYYAAAAA!"
