Chapter two: Intimacy
The air felt cooler against Shizuo's skin as he made the short walk to his apartment, a smaller figure following close behind. Shizuo couldn't give two fucks for his newly acquired shadow, thanks to all the mind numbing alcohol that rushed through his system, but said figure was cackling behind him. Surely the blonde's short fuse was being tested, and since his resolution had finally come into effect at the stroke of midnight, he couldn't let it get the better of him again.
"No! Not this time. I'm not going to explode because of this fucking flea." He mumbled as he finally made it to the door way of his humble abode, problem was he locked the door. Fuck it was always a battle every time he tried to unlock the stupid thing when intoxicated. He fumbled for his keys searching all his pockets until he heard a gentle jiggle come from behind him. When he looked back Izaya was holding them gingerly in his hands wearing his iconic smirk.
"Looking for these Shizu-chan?" He asked innocently jiggling the keys again. Shizuo leaned his head against his door hoping its cool touch would calm his hot head. The blonde let out a deep breath, just like Mr. Tom had told him to do when he needed to calm down, then he looked over his shoulder a forced smile sprawled on his face.
"Yes Izaya-kun I was looking for them, now can I have them back so I get some fucking rest?!" It was as sweet as he could manage, but at least neither signs nor doors were ripped from there hinges so that's a win in Shizuo's eyes.
Izaya smiled back at his conquest a mischievous glint in his dark eyes. "Yes I'll give them back, but on one condition." Shizuo let out another deep breath and nodded. "I want you to let me stay the night."
Shizuo balked at the request. How did the flea expect to be let in after his little confession at the bar? Shizuo was no homo-phob but he just didn't feel like getting raped that night so of course he should decline. But he couldn't give two fucks about it now he just wanted to get some sleep. "Fine just gimme the fucking keys already." He ran his fingers through his blonde locks, internally cursing himself for accepting the proposition.
Izaya looked almost ecstatic about being granted entry, so much so he seemed more child like to Shizuo, it made the blonde smile but that's probably the booze. Like he'd ever genuinely smile at anything to do with this fucker. "Okay step aside then and I'll unlock the door." Izaya smiled nudging his host aside. "What, did you really think I'd let you do it? You're completely shitfaced Shizu-chan, if I let you do it we'd be outside till next year." Izaya chuckled as he turned the key.
"Alright whatever just let me in already." Shizuo blushed at the too true statement. Izaya chuckled again seeing the red seep into the blonde's cheeks was a first. He liked it and silently hoped to see more of that side of Shizuo.
The young informant sauntered through the threshold followed by the clumsy drunken Shizuo. Finally the blonde could get some rest. He plopped on his bed as soon as he entered his room Izaya leaned against the door way smiling over at Shizuo.
"Are you really that tired?" Asked Izaya, but his only response was the sound of Shizuo's steady breaths. "You fell asleep? Seriously how careless can you be Shizu-chan, you didn't even close your front door." The young informant closed it for him. "You didn't even take off your shoes, or your belt." Izaya undid his shoes and belt and tossed them aside. "You're even still wearing your bowtie and vest, really Shizu-chan."
Izaya smirked as he undid the bowtie along with a few buttons of his pristine dress shirt, leaving the larger males neck slightly exposed. Izaya took the small window of opportunity to plant a small kiss at the base of his neck. Then He continued to undress the unconscious man until all that was left on him were his boxers and his undershirt. Izaya's eyes crawled over every inch of the sleeping blonde committing every curve of every muscle to memory.
"Shizu-chan," he breathed a shade of pink making its way on to his cheeks. He stripped of his fur trimmed jacket and black jeans eyes still scanning over the sleeping blonde's body in the dim moonlight. He crawled closer to Shizuo's face careful not to disturb him.
"Shizu-chan I really like you Shizu-chan." The blush in Izaya's cheeks had grown redder as he closed the distance between them. Their lips were now only a hairsbreadth away from each other but Izaya pulled back. He was satisfied by just being here, being able to see Shizuo this way was more than enough for now.
So the young informant nuzzled close to Shizuo and took a deep breath through his nose relishing the musky scent of his beloved monster."Goodnight Shizu-chan." He whispered smiling, he could feel Shizuo's heart as it beat strong and constant. It was going to be a good year he could feel it.
Shizuo wrapped his arms around Izaya holding him close making the young man smile even greater as his eyes slid closed for the night. All the while unaware that the blonde's were wide open.
