The time had come for them to take things to the next level. They didn't know that yet, but Mayumi and Shizuo were dating for four months, and they were closer than ever. Mayumi had the privilege to even meet Shizuo's brother, Kazuka. He was a quiet person, with whom Mayumi didn't talk much. It was just the three of them, alone, quiet and…awkward. Mayumi and Shizuo were at a point when they told each other anything.

Shizuo told her about his job, and she would tell him about the people she met. She would tell him about what she did, and she refrained from telling him about the males who tried to flirt with her. The one time she did, he went berserk and hunted down the men, and Mayumi lost three customers. "Shizuo, how was your day?" Was something he was used to in the evening, and Mayumi's cooking was his most favorite food.

It was safe to say Shizuo and Mayumi were in this one for a very long time, and he didn't want this to break.

The one person who did want this to break was Izaya, and he had a plan up his sleeve. But, for that to work, the couple had to get even closer, emotionally mostly. As much as it annoyed him that Mayumi avoided talking to him, threatening him that she would tell Shizuo, Izaya backed away from her but some part of him hurt deeply since Shizuo had Mayumi and he didn't. Izaya knew he didn't deserve her, but humans were greedy animals, lusting for things beyond their power, no matter what the consequence, and no matter how much Izaya tried to mock a God, he was human.

Mayumi walked home one evening, Simon letting her off a little early, and she received a text from someone. She checked her phone to see that it was from someone she detested, someone that caused her misery when she came here.

Mayumi-chan! I can see you, you know. ~Izaya

Mayumi frowned and replied, Stop bothering me Izaya Orihara.

Mayumi knew she was too dependent on Shizuo, for protection and everything, but there wasn't anything she could do for herself with a man like Izaya lurking around. He was someone who knew most of the families' affairs without them knowing it.

Are you going to complain to that boyfriend of yours, Yumi-chan? Are you going to cry and wail for him like you always do?

Mayumi froze. She didn't know what to reply. She frowned hard, feeling anger, a feeling she wasn't used to feeling. She took a deep breath, and replied with her shivering hands, What do you want?

She shouldn't have asked him that, something from inside her head told her she shouldn't have replied to him at all, but even when the universe asks you to not do something, we do it anyway, because curiosity is a feeling so impossible to overtake, it drives us close to insanity if we ignore it.

Izaya chuckled as he read her message. This was too easy, but then again, he could read Mayumi like a book, but that was why he was so allured in the first place.

He could predict whatever she would tell him, but he wouldn't have ever predicted that she was a person who let her parents die right in front of her eyes. That didn't seem like Mayumi, since it was an act which was unpredictable for her.

You will not tell Shizu-chan about our conversations Yumi-chan.

This sentence scared her, she knew she couldn't keep a secret such as this one from Shizuo, this was too hard for her to do. Before she replied, Izaya had texted her once more.

You wouldn't want Shizu-chan getting hurt do you? I might love humans, but I loathe Shizu-chan, and I can get rid of him whenever I want. Don't underestimate me, Yumi-chan. You don't want to let Shizu-chan die like your parents did, now do you?

Mayumi shivered with fear. This was something she didn't like. She couldn't do it, but at the same time it got her thinking. She didn't want to lose Shizuo, she loved him with every fiber of her being. She didn't trust Izaya, but she knew of his hatred for Shizuo. She was walking blindly, and she bumped into someone. It was a man, with a bandanna on his head. "I-I'm sorry." Mayumi squeaked, and the male smiled at her.

"You're Mayumi Matsumoto right?" Mayumi's face turned white. "Don't worry, my name's Kyohei Kadota. I'm…friends with Shizuo." He smiled and Mayumi regained her color. Her phone vibrated, and on impulse Mayumi dropped it to the ground, the male in front of her catching the device before it fell.

Kyohei frowned slightly but regained his original expression when he handed Mayumi the phone. "Here you go." Mayumi thanked him and walked away, Kyohei having thoughts in his head.

He felt uneasy, but at the same time, he shouldn't be involved. But, he couldn't understand the fact why he saw Izaya's name in Mayumi's phone. Mayumi who was famously known as Shizuo's lover, Izaya's enemy. In the end, he didn't think it mattered, so Kyohei walked away, quietly, his thoughts wandering.

Mayumi reached home, and saw that Shizuo wasn't around. She sighed and checked her phone, to see three messages from Izaya. She read them each slowly, one by one, her heart dropping with each text.

Yumi-chan, I think you're really interesting. That's why I don't think I can let you be happy with Shizu-chan.

Mayumi gulped as she scrolled downward to the second text.

I won't ask you to sleep with me in secret, no, I don't really need all that. I just want to see him suffer, so I think I'll play with you for a while. And the best part is, you can't do anything about it.

As she read the last text, Mayumi was sure she was going to cry.

I will text you every day. I will know what you're doing when you're doing it. And I will watch your every move Mayumi Matsumoto, because, you attract me.

The door opened slowly, Mayumi deleting the text messages, and putting on a fake smile, something she was good at. Something which she was used to, since her parents passed away five years prior to when she informed her grandfather. She attended school every day, normally, smiling, and faking happiness. Her school knew she didn't have parents, but that didn't stop her from smiling without meaning it.

Shizuo saw her smile at him, and he smiled slightly. "You're happy." Mayumi got up from the couch and hugged the male, breathing onto his chest, feeling a relief which only she knew she felt, and imitating a lover's embrace of happiness. If only Shizuo knew that her mind was in turmoil.

Shizuo's hand embraced around her and they kissed. Mayumi suddenly forgot everything as Shizuo's lips touched hers, she was transported to another trance, another place where nothing bothered her or Shizuo. It was only them, and that was what she needed. She let his hands wander around her back, and she let him touch her breasts, she let him kiss her neck, and she let him push her down on the couch, removing his shirt.

The two lovers gasped for air when they quickly scurried to the bedroom, fully intending to perform an act that they had never performed before, and the two haphazardly removed each other's clothing, and kissed each other fervently. Shizuo's kisses swallowed Mayumi whole, and she immersed herself into him completely. She sat upon his lap, and yelped softly, him holding her closely to his chest, the two staying in that position until Mayumi was used to the pain. A little while afterward, Shizuo moved, and slowly, Mayumi moved, both of them being transported into a universe of pleasure, a trance the two of them shared together.

Their moans echoed in the empty room, Mayumi gripping Shizuo's messy blonde dyed hair, and moaned his name softly, something which Shizuo loved to listen to, a sound which confirmed to him that the woman was his. This was an act that was robbing her of her virginity, but it wouldn't be called theft if it were being donated to the right person, the only person.

After the session, Mayumi and Shizuo lay beside each other, their eyes locked at each other, and their faces bright red. "How was it?" Shizuo asked, smirking and Mayumi buried her head in his chest, ignoring the question which amused Shizuo to no extent. He chuckled and pulled her closer, his hand around her bare chest, cupping one of her breast that made the woman yelp.

"Shizuo!" The male chuckled and turned to her face and said, "I love you." Softly, and slowly Mayumi kissed his lips repeating the same statement. Soon, they fell asleep, but something woke the woman up and made her walk through the room to her phone.

There was a text message and Mayumi turned white when she read it.

Had fun?

That was all it said, but it couldn't help but make Mayumi afraid. Now very afraid of the informant as she looked around, her fear increasing with every blink of her eye. She wanted to shout, but she knew it would wake Shizuo. She couldn't tell him, she knew that. She didn't want him hurt, she didn't want to lose him.

For a whole minute she didn't know what to do, she didn't know whether to reply or not, but she simply deleted the message, ignoring one vital piece of information that would have saved her from the unwanted panic that she felt all of a sudden.

The fact that Izaya Orihara had sent her that message even before Shizuo had come home.

Izaya hadn't seen them have sex, he didn't even think of it. But the timing of events was so accurate. The time he sent it was when Shizuo entered home, and that was when Mayumi and Shizuo performed the intimate act. But the timing made Mayumi believe in something else entirely, and Izaya achieve something even greater than he already planned out.

Was the timing called fate?

Or just bad luck?

Mayumi wouldn't know how immensely this little message would affect her relationship. If only she had seen the time of the message that was sent to her, incidents could have been avoided.

A/N: Evil Izayaaa.

But, I don't.
Because I made him do it. XD
