Shizuo woke up from the tattered sheets on his bed…or was it even his bed? He remembered something blankly about resuming the fight after the cat and he had another "staring contest" and Dokusonmaru practically kicked him out of the bed, so here he was…on the couch…denied his own bed in his own house.
There were dull pains all over his face from the rough scratches he received all day yesterday and early morning.
"Ugh…Kasuka…" the blonde groaned as a headache came on, "I love ya, but dude…where did you buy this cat? 'Hells 'R Us'?"
The reference may have been corny, but the poor former bartender was completely exhausted. He swore to himself to never take on another job like this again, regardless of whoever asked. It only made him even more regretful when he heard the cat's quiet snore all the way from his bedroom.
"Someone take me away from this misery…" Shizuo pleaded, shutting his eyes tightly, but he groaned again when a series of light, almost fluttery knocks hit the door. Shizuo, still aching from last night's brawl, rose slowly from the couch (though he was halfway on the floor) and paced to the door. Now, he actually hoped it was the twins – if they couldn't get Yuuhei, taking his cat would be enough for now.
Once again, it was not the twins. Instead, worse - it was their big brother.
"Izaya…" Shizuo growled as the raven just smirked.
"Hey, Shizu-chan…"
…In about two or three seconds, Izaya grabbed onto the bodyguard's neck and stood abruptly on his tippy-toes, giving Shizuo a sparked kiss. The blonde responded by hoisting Izaya up and kissing him back. The raven wrapped his legs around Shizuo and deepened the kiss, causing Shizuo to give a low moan. Izaya gave a soft giggle, running his fingers through the blonde locks.
To avoid confusion, Shizuo did hate Izaya…but only in public. Sometimes the blonde forgot it was just that. The two weren't boyfriend and well…boyfriend – more like lovers. Shizuo knew that the only reason Izaya came here today was to have a little "early morning fun."
After parting, Izaya smirked again, "I see your weekend is going dull without…Shizu-chan…what happened to your face?"
Shizuo involuntarily brought a hand to his face, distinguishing each little scratch and bite.
"Ah…I got into another fight…" he tried to lie, but Izaya furrowed his eyebrows.
"Don't lie to me – what happened?"
A person telling somebody that the Strongest Man in Ikebukuro got defeated by a Scottish Fold was beyond embarrassing, but the Strongest Man in Ikebukuro himself actually telling his own lover that the Strongest Man in Ikebukuro got defeated by a Scottish Fold was absolutely mortifying. Still, Izaya wasn't the type to let up when he wanted to find something out. Hopefully, he'd be sympathetic to the whole thing and instead help him treat his wounds…
"Well…I sorta…have to keep Kasuka's cat for three days while he goes to France, and…he did this to me…"
"…Your little brother cut you up?"
"N-no, the cat…"
"…"
Huh…maybe he understands…the blonde thought.
"BWUAHAHAHAHAHA! OH MY GOD, SHIZU-CHAN! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
Never get your hopes too high when dealing with Izaya Orihara…
"It's not funny, Izaya!"
The raven wiped away his tears and clutched his stomach, "Oh! Oh God! O-okay…okay, I'm sor…I'm sorry…! Hahahaha!"
"I-ZA-YA…!"
"Haah…okay, fine. I really am sorry, Shizu-chan," the raven held his hands up defensively, "But…you couldn't have come up with something better than a cat?"
"What do you mean 'come up with something'?!" Shizuo responded angrily, "I'm telling the truth! That damn cat is taking over my house! He's like a freaking baby, and I know it's Kasuka's cat and all but-"
Shizuo was cut off by Izaya's seductive finger that pressed against his lips, and once he saw the lust in the raven's crimson eyes, it was time to shut up.
"Shh…" Izaya cooed while tracing his finger around the corners of the blonde's mouth, "Calm down, Shizu-chan, and just relax your nerves, ne? Or better yet…let me help you~"
Izaya snaked his hand behind Shizuo's head and pulled him into another deep kiss, letting Shizuo have complete dominance over him.
"Mmm…" Izaya moaned, "Aaa…bed, now? Mm~"
"Can't…" the ex-bartender answered in between the kiss, "Stupid…mm…cat…"
Izaya pulled away for a gasp of air and pouted. Shizuo smiled at this, running his hand through the pitch-black locks of soft hair on his lover's head and making a sound of amusement, but it soon turned into a hateful growl when he heard Dokusonmaru's soft meow as he stretched his back.
"Are? What's the matter, Shizu-chan?" Izaya frowned, not noticing the creature and instead tried to lure the blonde's lips in for one more kiss. However, Shizuo glared right into the cat's glinting eyes when Dokusonmaru stared into the two men's presences.
"Get. Out." The blonde seethed, "I'm serious, you little prick – get out of here!"
Izaya raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the kitty, who looked back cutely. The raven gasped, partially from how adorable the cat was (being a cat –lover and all), and the rest from Shizuo's harsh words towards it.
"Aw, Shizu-chan! It's just a cat – he's not doing anything!"
"He's interrupting the moment…" Shizuo stubbornly crossed his arms and frowned deeply.
Izaya huffed and walked over the Dokusonmaru, much to Shizuo's utter shock and dismay. He picked up the cat and cradled it, rocking the white creature and rubbing its head.
"Hi there, kitty-kitty…who's a good boy, Mr. Kitty-kitty?!"
Dokusonmaru purred in complete bliss and nuzzled his whiskers on Izaya's nose, licking it once.
Shizuo could not believe what he was witnessing. He could lose his bed to this demon cat - hell, he could lose his house to the little beast…but, HIS LOVER?
Not. A. Chance.
Shizuo angrily stepped over and snatched the cat out of the info broker's arms by the scruff of its neck.
"Alright, that's it! I am NOT doing this anymore!" he yelled storming off.
"Shizu-chan, what do you mean?!" Izaya frantically followed behind Shizuo. He looked in horror when he saw his lover's free hand on the knob of the back door, ready to throw Dokusonmaru out and lock it.
"Shizu-chan, don't!" Almost on the verge of tears, Izaya ran up and took the creature back, who mewled in distress. Izaya calmed the kitty down, hushing it, and shot daggers at the bewildered blonde.
"Are you out of your mind?!" the raven shouted, "You're gonna throw him out just because he cuddled with me?!"
Shizuo huffed out a disbelieving chuckle, "That little son of a bitch has got to go! I can't take this anymore!"
"It hasn't even been a full two days-!"
"-and I'm sick of this crap already! Kasuka may have the patience and time to look after a little demon such as the one in your arms, but I don't!"
"Then why'd you say yes?"
"…'Cause I love my brother, why else?"
"Exactly, so what good is it gonna do you or him if the cat somehow winds up dead?"
The blonde growled and walked back into the kitchen to sit down at the table. He put his forehead in his palm and massaged it.
"Izaya…please do not stress me out right now…I didn't sleep until two…"
The addressed sighed as he stroked the cat's head. After a while, he released Dokusonmaru and made his way to Shizuo, sitting in his lap.
"Shizu-chan," he said softly, laying his head on the blonde's shoulder, "Don't be mad. I haven't had too many experiences with pets either, but at least try to get along with him. Otherwise this place isn't gonna have any peace."
"…I'm not negotiating with a damn cat."
"Shizu-chan-"
"No."
"Shizu-"
"No!"
"Fine!" the raven shouted. He really hated how Shizuo could be so stubborn sometimes, and oh, how it almost turned him off.
Almost...
"So what are you gonna do now? Do I need to stay here with you to make sure he's safe and sound?"
"No, you do not." Shizuo retorted icily, "I'll be just fine from now on."
Izaya crossed his arms. Unbelievable. Unbelievable!
"…Just going out on a limb here, but are we fucking or not, Shizu-chan?"
Blood immediately flowed to the blonde's face. He blew off the idea completely ever since his lapse of sanity, but…a good sex session might just be what he needed. Besides, Izaya would be pissed for coming all this way and not getting anything out of it.
"Uh…well…" he stammered, "I, um…"
Izaya smirked and licked Shizuo's earlobe, blowing in it seductively.
"C'mon, Shizu-chan~" the raven whined, "Pleeeeeeaaassse? I feel like a bunny in heat right now. Won't you just take me?"
…It's amazing how he can talk so dirty while looking so pure…Shizuo thought to himself.
Izaya rolled his tongue on Shizuo's lips and winked a lustful, crimson eye.
"The cat's on the couch right now about to take a nap, Shizu-chan…plus, I'll let you rip my clothes off me~"
That was one offer the blonde couldn't refuse. Izaya NEVER let him do that. He tried to at first, but the info broker got pissed when Shizuo just tore the shirt down the middle and pulled his jeans apart at the seams. After a while, it became a very rare privilege to have.
Izaya purred and started sucking on Shizuo's neck, making the latter release a satisfied breath.
"Mmm~" Izaya tried to whine while licking all the way up the former bartender's neck to his chin, "I'll cry if you don't…"
Shizuo couldn't help but laugh and softly kissed the top of Izaya's head. His hands moved on their own, tracing up and down his lover's slender back and making him shudder in excitement.
"...Okay," he finally said, "Alright, alright – you're so damn persistent sometimes, you know that…?"
Izaya hummed, "You can call it whatever you like, Shizu-chan, but who's the one that likes it?"
They continued to touch each other like that for a few more minutes until both were painfully aroused.
"Ne, ne, Shizu-chan," Izaya whispered in the addressee's ear, "Take me to bed~"
~Afternoon~
Life…is good, the blonde thought, Life is really good.
He had no idea why, but sex with Izaya Orihara was the freakin' best.
The raven was long-gone, but Shizuo still lay only in his boxers in the bed with the crumpled sheets flailed everywhere, blushing as he ran a hand through his muddled hair. He began to remember the morning's past events, watching Izaya beg and writhe for more and moaning Shizuo's name on and on. It made him shudder.
"Ah, now I feel like going for another round~" Shizuo drawled out humorously while lazily rolling over on his stomach on the mattress. At that moment, he felt something crawl on top of his back. He knew exactly what it was, but the sensation of sex was still lingering in his system, so he just planted his face in a nearby pillow and spoke in a muffle.
"Nngh, get off me…" he mumbled, "Stupid cat…"
The white feline mewed loudly, signaling its boredom, but when Shizuo didn't get up fast enough, Dokusonmaru starting shuffling his claws on the blonde's bare back, making new scratches.
"Gah!" Shizuo leapt and thumped Dokusonmaru on the top of his smooth head, "Stop that!"
The cat hissed as his fur stood up on end, and the sight made Shizuo suck his teeth. He was about to throw the little repulsive animal out the window, but he vaguely remembered what Izaya said to him before he clothed himself and left.
"Shizu-chan…take what I said to heart and try to play nice with the good, little kitty. Oh! And one more thing:
If you dare try to harm him…you'll be refrained from sex for two months~"
The debt collector heaved a huge sigh and reached a hand over to Kasuka's pet. He hissed louder, but Dokusonmaru calmed down a bit when he felt Shizuo's fingers scratch lightly behind his ears.
"So…" Shizuo started, "Wanna call a truce?"
So tired...but I'm happy that someone's looking forward to this story. Think of this as a "Cause-I'm-Bored" type of thing.
