A/N: Hi all!.. Lots of love for you all, without you I would've dropped this a long time ago. Thank you for sticking with me despite my infrequent updates!
Alright, I have some news, and I am so sorry if this upsets, disappoints, or angers anyone:
WARNING! SHIZAYA! I'm really sorry for no prior heads up that this story would have this relationship. Before this chapter, I didn't think that I would be including it. Nothing explicit (meaning M-rated), just fluff. I am thinking about making this a minor/moderate part of the plot (main characters still Izaya and Kise of course). Even with the pairing, I'm NOT planning to make romance the main focus. BUT, if anyone at all is opposed to Shizaya, I will rework the plot. I am truly sorry for any inconveniences.
Also, while I'm doing this, I'm planning on some similar degrees of AOKISE in future chapters. So I will give you a heads up on that now. Again, if anyone is opposed, I will rethink my plans. I'm really sorry about this, guys.

Kise's golden eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of the ferocious blond beast towering above him. Dust swirled around the three of them, and bits of debris rained around Kise and Izaya from where Shizuo had accidentally rammed the table into the ceiling. Before Kise had any time to gather his jumbled thoughts, the table above his head was descending, hard and quick. Kise could tell that he wasn't really the target of the blonde's aggression, since that man had shouted Izaya's name and his fiery gaze was currently targeting said person. However, the way that table was coming down, Kise was certain to suffer the blow alongside Izaya.
Kise didn't have time to think; he could only watch, eyes frozen, as the table came down closer and closer to his very carefully cared for head…
CRASH
Kise's eyes reopened not to the sight of fluorescent lights and worried faced doctors as he had expected, but rather to the same setting of Russia Sushi, where he watched Izaya's fur jacket billow out from behind him as he swiftly jumped to avoid the deadly table. Izaya made it look downright easy. In fact, Izaya made it look as if he had been dealing with this every day of his life.
Now, Kise didn't know nearly as much about Izaya's life as he wished he did, but taking Izaya's skill with knives and more than suspicious 'work' into consideration, Kise wouldn't have been the least bit surprised if Izaya frequently got into fights and or faced near death experiences on a daily basis.
Kise continued watching Izaya and his persecutor face off, chairs collapsing, lights shattering, and the floor crumbling in their wake. All the while Izaya wore the most effortless smirk. Not once did it falter.
Izayacchi really is something, isn't he? Whether that something is good or bad, though, I'm having a hard time deciding…
"Kise-san~!" Kise sat up from where he lay on the ground to see who could possibly be calling his name in such a calm, sing-songy voice at a time like this.
"Uh, hi," Kise replied awkwardly. The man sitting beside him was dressed like a doctor of some sort. His smile seemed genuine, despite the situation the both of them were in. The man was even covered in dust, proof that he had been near the action himself…
Kise jolted upright so that he was face to face with the doctor. "You're the one who saved me, aren't you? Doumo arigatou gozaimasu!" Kise did his best to bow where he was seated. "I owe you my life!"
"Now now, no need for that really," Shinra waved his hand, shooing away Kise's formality. "Although," Kise swore he saw the man's entire disposition flip in the matter of a second. The man now sitting before him let off an entirely different aura… one much more uncomfortable, somehow. "I am actually quite fascinated in you, Kise-san. Not just in the genetics behind the face and body that have captured the hearts of women all across Japan, but even more so in that alluring ability of yours to mimic others' actions. How long have you been like that? Have you seen any doctors about it? What goes through your mind when you copy someone? I think that some blood samples and brain examinations would do very nicely as repayment for me saving you, don't you think?"
"A-ah… w-well I don't think… um…" Kise stuttered. He was really starting to sweat—if his stranger danger senses were firing when he met Izaya, they were kicking into overdrive over this frightening encounter. While Kise was grateful to the man for saving his life, he didn't feel very comfortable with the idea of giving his body over to this strange man to do with it whatever he pleased…
Man, what should I do? Somebody, something, help!
wWWWw
Of course Izaya knew Shizuo was there. He knew Shizuo would be there far before Shizuo even set foot in Russia Sushi—what kind of informant would Izaya be if he hadn't known even that much?
And so naturally, Izaya aimed for maximal provocation during his time at Russia Sushi. Izaya didn't even bat an eyelash when Shizuo hoisted their table above his head. Izaya was just glad that Shinra had been the one accompanying Shizuo, otherwise Izaya probably would've had to grab Kise and run. Izaya knew that Shinra, being Shinra, would never let harm come to a genetically interesting being such as Kise if he could help it.
That meant that Izaya could have some fun with his Shizu-chan today.
However, Izaya anticipated that Shinra would start spieling some freaky stuff to Kise about body testing and the like, and so his Shizu-chan time would have to be limited, for Kise's sake.
Now, the only question is, what fun little trap should I set up to stop Shizu-chan and save Ryo-chan? Izaya grinned in anticipation of his plan.
Izaya led Shizuo in their dangerous dance around Russia Sushi for a bit longer, causing lots of internal damage to the restaurant. Spying a mortified Kise next to an alarming Shinra, Izaya decided that it was time to put his plan to fruition.
Izaya stood flat against the front wall of the restaurant, dodging the booth seat that came flying at him. Said booth seat smashed through the wall, effectively expanding their battlefield to the center of Ikebukuro.
"IIIZZAAAAAAYYYAAAAA!" Shizuo roared, momentarily stunned by the change in lighting. When his vision fully adjusted, Shizuo felt his jaw drop. Whatever he had been holding in his hand, ready to throw at Izaya, clattered to the ground. Despite himself, a bright, unmistakable blush blossomed all over Shizuo's downright embarrassed face.
And worst of all, Shizuo was feeling very, very, hot.
What's going on?! This is stupid, I hate that flea! He's disgusting, and despicable, and, and, and… when he's looking like that though… like that… doesn't he look kinda…
"Ne Shizu-chan, what a spectacular look you have on your face right now! Who knew: the Beast of Ikebukuro is actually capable of wearing helpless, adorable expressions like this~" Izaya walked out to stand not five feet away from Shizuo.
"Shut up, flea," Shizuo muttered. He'd taken his gaze off of that terrible picture, but he couldn't help but sneak an occasional peek. His blush failed to fade.
"I've always known that my looks are more than capable of seducing any ordinary human being, but who would've thought that my physical appeal extends into the realm of beasts, too? Aren't I a lucky one~" Izaya chuckled at the sight of Shizuo reduced to such a state. Izaya's red eyes glimmered almost hungrily in the midday sun.
"Izayacchi!" Kise cried, desperation clear in his voice. "Aha, good thing you're okay! We came out when things got so quiet. We were worried something had happened! Ahaha~" Kise awkwardly chuckled in relief. Whether it was relief at Izaya being safe, or at no longer being alone with that creepy doctor, Kise wasn't entirely sure.
"Shizuo-san, you're strength never ceases to amaze me!" Shinra chimed in, back to his usual bubbly self. "And wow, Izaya-san, I had no idea you were pursuing a career in modeling! I'm sure you could succeed, but if you make it far enough in the business it would likely be harmful to your current work, don't you think?"
Shinra, Izaya, and Kise turned to look at the picture, while Shizuo's eyes stayed forcibly glued to the ground. "It really is a fantastic picture, Izaya-san, Kise-san. Your body types are certainly visually compatible!" Shinra praised. Shizuo shuffled his feet.
By the looks of the passersby, Izayacchi and my photo shoot will bring that brand a lot of business and attention from the media. At least something good will come of that chaotic night... Kise took his eyes off the civilians passing by to look at Izaya, who, Kise was extremely surprised to find, was sharing a rather intense stare with the man who had just been trying to kill him!
Kise stared at Izaya staring at Shizuo. Right now, Izayacchi's smirk, though outwardly completely the same as its been, isn't as full of menace as it usually is… It's full of something completely different. Though I can't put a finger on it right now… I can only wonder… Kise thought, the gears in his head spinning. Just maybe…
"Well, now that things are all calm, might as well do some introductions~" Shinra said, cutting through the silence that had been settling and snapping Kise out of his thoughts.
Kise couldn't help but cringe slightly as Shinra turned to face him. "Kise-san, my name is Kishitani Shinra. It's a pleasure to meet you. This is Heiwajima Shizuo-san," Shinra gestured to Shizuo, who seemed reluctant to take his eyes off Izaya. "And I see you've already met Izaya-san."
Shizuo cleared his throat. "Ah, Kise-san, sorry about that… almost hitting you… yeah… I didn't actually want to hurt you; you see it was the flea…. and I don't actually like violence, really… ah… so yeah, sorry."
"Mm, don't worry about it," Kise smiled. "I'm fine, so no harm done, right?"
"Shizu-chaaan, it's time for you to apologize to me now~" Izaya nearly purred.
"Yeah right, flea," Shizuo growled, turning his back to Kise and Izaya. "At least it's been nice to meet you, Kise-san. See you around… without the flea, hopefully, next time," Shizuo said as he walked off. Shinra waved to Izaya and Kise as he followed the blonde away.
"And there you have it!" Izaya said, taking a bow. "What better way to conclude a day in the life of Orihara Izaya than with one of my infamous battles with Ikebukuro's own brutish beast, Heiwajima Shizuo."
Kise took a second to think before looking Izaya straight in the eye and asking, "So, Heiwajima-san… is your boyfriend?"
Izaya began walking the opposite way Shizuo and Shinra had headed. "My, aren't you a perceptive one." Izaya's voice was coated in amusement. As Kise jogged to catch up, Izaya thrust his hands into his coat pockets and shrugged. "Let's just say, something like that." Izaya turned to wink at Kise before he began running off ahead of Kise.
"Oi, Izayacchi, hold up! And what's that supposed to mean? Izayacchi!"
A/N: And that's chapter 6! Hope you all liked it!
Please review so I know whether or not I can continue with Shizaya and Aokise. Thank you!
Also, no promises, but I'm going to try and write at least a little bit every night, so please don't abandon me :)
You guys are the best x3
Hearts!
