1:00pm

"Catch me if you can Shizu-chan!" Izaya laughed hysterically as he was chased around the boat, one thing led to another that morning which finally ended with Izaya throwing a bucket of water on the deep sleeping blonde.

"You're so dead flea!" Shizuo screamed at the top of his lungs as he locked his eyes on the slim figure, the boat tipped a bit which made Izaya nearly lose his balance. He steadied himself enough to continue running around the boat, away from the furious blonde. Once he was sure he was far enough from the monster he opened some random door on the ship and quickly entered it.

"Get back here flea so I can rip you in half!" Izaya had to keep himself from giggling as he heard a very anger and still wet bodyguard run past the door.

"He really isn't the sharpest crayon in the box." Izaya laughed to himself as he walked out of the room that said "storage room" in big letters on the front of the door. Izaya stretched out his still tired muscles before putting his hands in his pockets and started to walk around the ship, trying to think of something fun to do. He estimated it would take a few minutes before Shizuo realizes that he had ditched him a while back, so he had that much time and maybe a little longer to see if there was anything fun he might be able to do. The boat rocked back and forth again, forcing Izaya to hold onto the railing of the ship so he didn't fall flat on his face. The captain had informed everyone on the ship that the trip to New Zealand would be a little wavy; of course Orihara Izaya wasn't the type of person to take orders from anyone.

"Maybe I should just go back to the room and wait for Shizu-chan to return, I could greet him at the door with another bucket of water…maybe this time I'll fill it with ice." Once the ship had steadied Izaya let go of the railing and started towards his room. He was careful when walking next to the pool so he didn't accidentally fall in, especially with all the water that had splashed on the main deck. Suddenly the boat started to sway again; Izaya tried to keep his balance but failed miserably…

"GAH!" Izaya yelped as he was suddenly thrown backwards, it took him a few minutes to realize he couldn't breathe. He had fallen into the deep end of the pool so he wasn't able to swim up for air; he splashed around frantically as his lungs started to feel as if they were going to explode. The raven's vision started to become hazy as he watched his last bit of air he had stored up in his lungs float up to the top in big round bubbles.

"Dammit…." Izaya eyes closed slightly before he spotted something in the water start coming towards him; actually it was coming from above him. He panicked a little as something grabbed the back of his shirt and hoisted him upwards.

"Damn flea, don't you know you're not supposed to be out here with these kinds of waves?" Izaya was on his hands and knees, throwing up all the freezing cold water that had entered his body. He was shaking like a leaf as he turned over onto his back and lay down on the very wet deck. Crimson eyes stared into mocha ones as Izaya stared at his savior…the very monster who was trying to kill him five minutes ago.

"Get up flea, you'll die of hypothermia if you stay like that…not that I care if you die." Shizuo quickly added that last part; he didn't want the flea to think he cared about him.

"If you didn't care if I died then you wouldn't have saved me." Izaya said slowly before letting his heavy eyelids close tightly. Shizuo growled and kicked the informant in the side, trying to get him to wake up before another wave slid him back into the pool.

"Come on flea, if you don't get up in the next ten seconds I'm going to leave you here to die." Shizuo mentally counted before getting up to ten, his brain told his legs to move but something else told him to stay…

"Bastard…" Shizuo said aloud as he moved his hands under the unconscious body and pulled him close into his arms, the blonde shivered as the freezing cold body was pressed against his own. He mentally cursed the water for being so cold as he carried Izaya quickly towards their bedroom; the heater to the pool must have been turned off considering it was to wavy for anyone to go in it.

"I'm not letting you in the bed like that, either get up and change or I'm throwing you in the bathtub." Izaya opened his eyes slightly to stare up at the blonde through hazy eyes; he grinned and buried his face in the bartender's muscular chest. Shizuo growled and kicked open the door to the bathroom, he nearly tore the shower curtain from its hinges and he dropped the thin body into the large bathtub. Izaya whimpered as his back was hit hard against the marble bathtub bottom, he shrugged off the pain and curled up in cream colored bathtub.

"Are you an idiot? You can't sleep in the bathtub, especially wearing those wet clothes." Shizuo said angrily as he stared down at the seemingly sleeping informant.

"Nn…I'm to cold to move, almost drowning and swallowing so much dirty, cold water made me weak." Izaya sighed as he tried to hug himself for warmth.

"Then take a damn hot shower, I don't care if you have to take it in your clothes! Just get the hell up!" Shizuo was screaming now and Izaya was loving it! He loved how angry the blonde was getting, just because he was so worried about him. He was about to get up out of the bathtub when scorching hot water suddenly started raining down on his shivering body.

"GAH! What the hell Shizu-chan? Don't turn it all the way up!" Izaya yelped as he quickly stood up in the shower, he glared at the bodyguard who was currently laughing like a mad man at the startled raven.

"Oh you think that's funny huh? Why don't you join me Shizu-chan?" In a split second Shizuo was suddenly pulled into the bathtub and was pummeled by boiling hot water. He gasped as his head hit the side of the bathtub with a loud bang.

"Dammit flea!" Shizuo barked angrily as he closed his eyes tightly and rubbed the back of his head, he opened them back up in a millisecond when he felt a now warm body move on top of him.

"Oh god…" There Izaya was… in his naked glory…sitting right on top of the feared monster of Ikebukuro. Shizuo didn't know what to say, he couldn't even bring himself to look away from the pale body sitting right in front of him.

"Stop starring at me like that Shizu-chan, you're embarrassing me." Izaya giggled as he moved up and wrapped his arms around the stunned blonde's neck.

"This is what you wanted right? For me to get out of those wet clothes…or did you want me out of them for a different reason?" Izaya whispered that last part seductively into Shizuo's ear, his face turned a bright red as he felt soft lips press against the nape of his neck.

"G- Get off me!" Shizuo yelped as he pushed the naked body off of him, he quickly jumped out of the bathtub and ran out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Izaya sat up in the bathtub and giggled again, he had actually got the monster to blush!

"Now that he knows what he could be getting, I wonder if he'll make a move." Izaya laughed loud enough for the blonde to hear as he stood up in the shower and started to wash himself.

"Forget the image forget the image dammit!" Shizuo mentally cursed himself as he paced back and forth in the room, he could care less if he was soaking wet he just wanted to get that image of naked Izaya out of his head.

"Don't think dirty thoughts, come on dammit stop thinking that!"

Author's Note: Yes I know I skipped a day in the chapter and yes I know this was kind of a pointless chapter and yes I know I haven't updated in a LONG time I've been going through a lot. A few more chapters before a very ASWOME chapter comes (and no I don't mean the very hot smex) after the AWSOME chapter a few more chapters after that then the HOT chapter comes! Thanks for being so patient and thanks for reading!
