Chapter 5

Hello everyone who is still reading this! I am really sorry for the month-long update. School has been a bitch and I'm frequently taken to the hospital to monitor my health because I'm usually sleep-deprived and it will worsen my condition.

But now, here I am with a new chapter! Sorry if it's an uneventful chapter though, it's kinda the transition chapter for their progress as a family. I think. hehe

Warnings: OOCness, grammar and typo errors, Izaya being a mother hen and Shizuo a cute puppy~

Disclaimer: Durarara is never mine nor yours. Let's accept that truth.

Chapter 5: Chance

Waking him up by the morning light hitting his face, Izaya sat up and rubbed his eyes off of signs of sleep. He sighed, remembering what happened last night. He didn't expect himself to break down like that and in front of Shizuo of all people! He jumped from his bed and rushed to the bathroom to splash water on his hot face, cheeks pink with embarrassment. After a few breaths, he calmed down. Grabbing a towel, he thought to take his shower since he's in the bathroom anyway.

The warm water felt heavenly on his cold skin. Too much events had happened yesterday. Just a second ago he is contented with Tsugaru on his side but now, Shizu-chan has entered their life.

Shizu-chan.

The only man whom Izaya hate. The unpredictable unicellular monster who just barged in into Izaya's 'peaceful' life. The man who he had opened up too, his enemy who declares out of the blue, that he will protect him, the informant himself.

"Damn! Why is that brute always so spontaneous?" He turned off the shower and dried himself. Changing into a black shirt and pants, he went out of his room to attend to his son who is probably awake by now. He will not think of Shizuo, Tsugaru's more important.

"Tsu-chan~ you awake~?" he chirped cheerfully, opening the infant's room. His heart nearly went out when he saw no Tsugaru in the baby blue color crib."Tsugaru!"

Dashing downstairs, he halted as he passed in the kitchen. He heard clanking pans, spoons, forks, plates and others along with a baby giggling? Going inside the said space, he is kinda surprised to see Shizuo wearing a frilly pink apron while cooking something and Tsugaru seated in his high chair, tiny fist in his mouth.

Izaya immediately got Tsugaru's hands off of his mouth and wiped them with a table napkin. "Tsugaru that's dirty!" He tried to scold the innocent baby, forgetting that Shizuo is there.

"Morning, flea." Shizuo greeted him, plates on both of his hands. He arranged three plates of egg, bacon and pancakes on the table and poured a carton of milk in his glass. Izaya glared at him.

"What are you still doing here brute?" he crossed his arms on his chest as he sat up in the far seat of the table next to Tsugaru.

"I thought of making us breakfast since I know you are tired. I don't know what you like so I just cooked by instinct. I didn't get to go home because it's very dark last night. I hope you won't mind me sleep in your couch." Shizuo scratched the back of his head.

Under normal circumstances, Shizuo will be throwing something at Izaya now. But now, he can't manage to do it. Their hatred with each other is still there, he can feel it but his degree of hate has decreased. Especially since he discovered that he has a child with the-heaven only knows what miracle happened- Izaya, he is being careful with his strength to not scare his child.

One of his dreams is to build a family but because of his strength,no one will be able to love him. Well, almost everyone is afraid of him. He might hurt his family accidentally and he's going to be guilty for that for the rest of his life. There are probably only few people who are not afraid of him and maybe Izaya is on the top of that list. He's the only one who is brave enough to approach him even though it's to annoy and piss him. So when Izaya has 'disappeared' , he don't want to admit it but he somehow missed the flea. Sure, at first he don't fully believe Shinra's story but his mind keeps on telling him that it is true. Seeing Tsugaru, he felt his heart swell with happiness.

"It's okay. Just leave after taking your breakfast; I have some work to do." Izaya said coldly, taking a bite from his pancake. "This is so sweet!" he scowled as he drank water.

"Errr..sorry. Guess I followed my own taste" Shizuo took a bite from his own. "It's not that sweet, you know."

"Whatever. I'm not letting you give Tsugaru diabetes." Izaya stood up and turned on the coffee maker to make his bitter coffee.

"Auh!" Tsugaru spit his bacon and made a mess on the table. He still looks adorable even with the food residue in his face. Izaya sighed and wiped Tsugaru's face with a damp towel. "You made a mess. And you're stinking. Come on, let's give you a bubble bath~" he tickled the boy's face with his hair before he carried him to the bathroom.

Shizuo sat there, fighting a smile from the scene. The flea looks cute when he is in motherly mode. Wait what? Did he just thought Izaya is cute? He banged his head on the table and sighed deeply. 'It's just because of Tsugaru. Tsugaru is the cute one right? Yes, that's it. The flea only looks cute because he is with Tsugaru.' Shizuo thought to himself, in denial.

Getting out from the bathroom in fresh clothes, Izaya set Tsugaru in his new stroller. He picked up the small stuffed toy lying on the floor and placed it in Tsugaru's side. 'Maybe Shizu-chan has left.' To confirm his thoughts, he peeked in the kitchen only to find Shizuo lying his head on the table, his breakfast untouched. He carefully walked towards him.

"Shizu-chan?" said man flinched when Izaya tapped him on the shoulders. He lifted his head and seeing Izaya's confused expression, he averted his gaze from those red eyes. His expression looked, adorable?

"If you're going to sleep then do it at your own home. I remember I told you to leave after right?" Izaya glared at him and turned back. He's going to be late for work and he's still going to drop by Shinra's!

He's stopped by a hand grabbing his own. "Izaya." Shizuo looked at him as he stood up and closed the space between them.

"What? I'll be missing my clients so hurry up." Though he said that smoothly, he feel his heart beat fast.

"Izaya. Let me be with Tsugaru." Shizuo said, determined. He squeezed lightly Izaya's hand. "I know you still don't trust me and you hate me, but please. I want to be with my son. I want to make up with the both of you."

Izaya thought for a moment. Yes, he still hate the blonde but reminiscing his nightmare, he realized he needed Shizuo. For Tsugaru's sake. But he must not think that he will gain his trust easily. He'll have to make a difficult way first.

"Fine, but on one condition." Izaya put on his well-known smirk. 'Time to make your life a living hell.'

"I'll let Tsugaru be with you as long as I'm there. I don't want to see my dear with bruises just because you accidentally hit him for pissing you off." Ouch. That hurt his feelings. He let go of his hand and lowered his head. His insecurity is getting into him.

"So?" Izaya raised a brow at the suddenly silent blonde. "If you're not going to answer then I'm going. I'm leaving Tsugaru in Celty's care again."

"Weekend. Are you free?" Shizuo looked at him, still a hurt expression on his face. His brows furrowed.

"Yes. Why?" Izaya looked at him questioningly.

"Weekend. Tokyo Disneyland at 9AM. Let me spend that day with the both of you." Shizuo sounded desperate. Izaya is laughing inside. How he loved the blonde's current expression like a lost puppy desperate to please his master. Its' awkward to say this but Shizuo liked his idea of family bonding. Even if Izaya don't think of them as one, for him, they are. As twisted and surprising as it sound.

"Fine. But it's your treat. It's a father's duty to pay for his family's needs after all~" Izaya chuckled. Shizuo's face brightened and smiled back and pulled the informant closer to him so suddenly. For the flea to call him a father and a family made his body release new emotions.

"Thank you. I promise to make it up to you." He rested his head on the soft hair of the raven-head, inhaling the sweet smell emanating from him. He didn't know but somehow, he's beginning to love the flea's scent.

"Ummm…" Izaya started, surprised at the spontaneity of Shizuo. Realizing in what position they are in, Shizuo jumped back and scratched the back of his head.

"See you on the weekend, I guess?" Shizuo's cheeks had a tint of pink in it as well as Izaya's.

He merely nodded and walked to where Tsugaru is waiting. He double checked his things before he opened the door and pushed the stroller. Shizuo followed them and decided to leave as well.

"Bye, Izaya."

Izaya gave a nod of acknowledgement and left.
