Title: Seducing Cupid
Rating: M
Pairing: Shizuo x Izaya,
Warnings: Male x Male Relationships, Smut
Description: He sees it every single day; people falling in love. It was just another day in the life of the new Cupid, Izaya Orihara. You would think he would know what falling in love looks like, but that wasn't the case when it was his love life. Shizaya. AU.
He looked at the clock and did a mental dance of relief. Finally! His awfully long, torturous night was over. Immediately loosening his bow tie, he made his way over to the other male, who was behind the bar with him.
"Hey, I'm heading out for the night." The other male turned to face the blonde man with a smile on his face.
"Have a good night Shizuo. Sorry about tonight, I didn't expect it to be so busy." Shizuo shrugged
"It's okay, Tom. It's not your fault that Kadota called in sick." The blonde waved slightly at the other and made his way out of the bar area. He was immediately assaulted with the awful scent of sweat and cheap cologne. Shizuo wrinkled his nose in disgust. He was never a club person. They smelled terrible and were always filled with horny, desperate people. It was just his luck to land a job in the bar of one. He couldn't really complain though. He rather enjoyed working for Tom, it was the customers he didn't like. Shizuo had lost more than one paycheck due to the damage he caused because of a customer that managed to get under his skin.
The blonde bartender started to push his way into the seemingly endless abyss of human bodies. The club was more packed than it normally was for a Tuesday night. Didn't people work in the morning? Shizuo's eye twitched in annoyance; why was the bar on the opposite side of the exit? All he wanted to do was go home and go to bed. He tried his best to ignore the hands that rubbed various parts of his body as he gradually made his way through the sweaty bodies.
After what seemed like a millennia, the tall male finally made it to the safety of a clearing before the exit. He could almost feel the old air run against his heated skin. The moment he was about to exit, a smaller male with dark hair walked in. Normally, Shizuo wouldn't pay attention to anyone entering or exiting the club, but this guy was different. This guy had wings. Black wings. Shizuo raised an eyebrow as he watched the male walk past him without as much as a blink of an eye. After working here for nearly a year, the blonde had pretty much grown accustomed to seeing weird things or habits of people that you normally wouldn't see. But never has he seen anyone come to a club with wings. Who the fuck would? How would you ever be able to make your way around in a club, full of people, with giant clusters of feathers on your back? Shizuo scoffed at the odd scene.
"Isn't it a little too early for Halloween?" The blonde said to himself before walking out, finally, and lighting a cigarette.
Izaya's POV
I stretch my hands above me to stretch out my back while I let out a long yawn. Last night's expedition at the club proved to be quite pointless. There was no one interesting or worth my time to play with all night long. Nevertheless, I ended up stabbing two guys that both had what appeared to be girlfriends with them. Ha! You should have seen the look on those girls faces when the two men started nearly sucking each other's faces off! People are quite pathetic. My dark wings are still extended out behind me and for good reason. It's not exactly the most pleasant feeling when the retreat back into my back. Besides, when they are, nobody can see me so I can do whatever I please.~
I look down and watch as the humans walk the streets of Ikebukuro. Humans have such a one track mind. They only think about what they are doing, what they want to do, and what they are doing later. They don't think about the possible things that could occur to them that could completely turn their lives upside down. That's what makes my job so exciting!~ With the most simple prick from my arrow, I can really fuck someone's life up.
After a few minutes of observation, I decide that I have seen enough for the day. After a long all-nighter, it's time for me to recharge. After all, even Cupids needs their beauty sleep.~ I pull my legs up and make my way down to the busy street.
As always, the Tokyo streets is overrun with people. I think that most people would find the crowds of people rather annoying, but I rather liked it. I like being around people, despite how stupid they are. But today, I'm in a hurry because all I want to do is go home and go to sleep. Stepping around the people, I choose to take my chances and just walk in the street. Most people in Tokyo walk, so the road isn't exactly bumper to bumper traffic. Actually, despite it being nearly 3 in the afternoon, the roads are quite clear. I run my fingers through my dark locks and begin to think. It's not exactly a secret that I don't do my jump the proper way, but I am rather surprised I haven't been reprimanded for my actions yesterday. Due to my mischief, I caused 3 people to die. To me, that's not such a big deal, but that's me. To the angels that reside above me, that is a major taboo. It's only a matter of time that someone is sent to punish me for my actions.
I wonder what my punishment would be this tim-
"HEY! IDIOT! GET OUT OF THE STREET!" I snap out of my thoughts and look over in the direction of where the yelling came from. To my surprise, it was the blonde haired male for the café yesterday, looking right at me. Who the heck is he yelling at? I look around and don't see anyone in the street.
All of a sudden, I feel something hard run into me and my back meets the hard concrete. I wince and groan at the sudden pain. What the hell just hit me? Opening my crimson eyes, I am surprised when I see caramel eyes staring down at me.
"Fucking dumbass! Hasn't anyone told you not to walk in the street?! You almost got hit by a car!" I'm still in shock and simply just blink. People around us seem just as shocked about the whole situation. What…is this? He can't possibly see me, my wings are out! The man gets off of me and brushes himself off while glaring at me.
"Next time, think before you fucking act." The crowd of people, that have stopped, begin to part and watch and whisper as the blonde starts to walk away. What the hell was that? I am in Cupid mode, no one can see me when I am Cupid. Grabbing the back of my head, I start to rub at the dull pain that is starting to build up.
I will worry about this later, right now I just need sleep.
Okay so I am going to be honest, my whole flow of writing and desire to write has been really taken away from me lately..Over the past 2 weeks I got about 5 very lengthy, very hurtful messages about my fan fiction. Not just your typical 'you suck' flames, no; a couple paragraphs long messages and it has really taken a toll on me unfortunately. So my flow and desire has dulled because of that and my typical 'you suck' flames.
But nevertheless, here is chapter 3 of Seducing Cupid. Okay to keep things a little more simple, I am going to post everything we have found out about Cupid at the bottom of chapters since this is so different and I'm worrying I am not making sense.
- Nobody can see Cupid when he has his wings out.
- Cupid is given a book of people who are destined to be together (As well as location).
- He can make two people fall in love by cutting them with his arrow.
- Cupid is an angel that is underneath all other angels.
