Yay! Chapter 12 is happening! Sadly there is only one more chapter! :( But please enjoy this chapter!

I smiled as Shizu-chan came through the door. "Oh honey I'm home!" He shouted to the house.

My face turned into the look of annoyance as I turned to him, "I really hate you sometimes Shizu-chan."

He stepped into my office and wrapped his arms around me, "I had to try."

Rolling my eyes, I spun around to face him. "How was work?"

"Normal… Nothing too special. What about you?"

"Just gathering information." I sighed, "It's boring."

What a normal boring life… But I was strangely okay with it… I mean… Shizu-chan was making me happy. "I'm glad you had a nice day flea."

I couldn't help but smile warmly as he ran a hand across my cheek. "Mm."

"We're becoming an old married couple." He joked leaning on my chair to kiss me quickly.

"I don't find it completely revolting."

He laughed and ghosted his lips over mine once again, "I want something more interesting today."

"Like what?" I moved slightly keeping my eyes glued on his lowly.

He was teasing me, I was aware of that… I hated sometimes how he was always in control, but part of me like not having to have control over every little thing. This was Shizu-chan, I'd never been able to control him. "Hm… Don't know yet."

I rolled my eyes, "Well… We could start with a little welcome home ritual of sorts." My arms draped around his neck, "What do you say Shizu-chan?"

He moved quickly softly kissed my lips, "Eh… I'm kind of tired."

As he began to snicker I removed myself from him and turned around in my chair back to my computer, "Fucking tease."

"And that is my cue to go make dinner for two."

"You're a fucking poet." I shooed him off annoyed with his presence.

"You know you love me!" The blonde idiot shouted moving out of the room.

Rolling my eyes I couldn't help but smile once again. Yes… I love this idiot. We didn't have a perfect relationship, nor did I want to have one. We complimented each other in the stupidest of ways. Even though he did piss me off it didn't really matter.

I sat down on the couch after dinner, "I'm taking a five minute break before back to work."

Shizu-chan snorted, "Why do you even need to work late?"

"Because!" I snapped, "I make income working this late so shut it!"

He rubbed the back of his neck, "Are you really mad at me for teasing you?"

I noticed the guilty look in his eyes and sighed running a hand over my face, "No, sorry… This client is a pain in my ass. They want everything I can get my hands on, which is a lot, by tomorrow."

"How are they going to know if you don't have everything?"

I scoffed and felt him move my legs to sit beside me, "Do you even know my name Shizu-chan? I have to have everything on these simple idiots otherwise I'd have no business."

Shizuo sighed heavily and threw his head back, "Fine."

"Oh I'm sorry did you have plans?" I got up and stretched.

He licked his lips, "I had an idea."

"Oh dirty." I stretched again and then moved to my office. He followed shortly after flopping onto the small couch I'd placed in here.

Shizu-chan stretched and got more comfortable, "I like this couch."

"Why, because you can come annoy me?"

"Oh how the tables have turned huh flea?"

I laughed and typed away on my computer, "So this is how week two goes?"

He sighed and curled up comfortably, "Better get used to it, I'm not letting you get away again."

"Are you saying the chase is over Shizu-chan?"

"If you run… I'm going to chase after you, and I won't stop until I've caught you again."

"Hm… Promise?" I smiled from behind my computer.

"Promise." He said seriously before closing his eyes. His vest was missing, his bow tie thrown on the dresser in our room, his shirt was loosened and untucked, showing off his broad chest just a little, his hair was pulled back from him running his hands through it. It was times like these I think I really loved Shizu-chan the most. When he was vulnerable, tired from a day's work, relaxing and lazy. I hadn't realized I was staring, "Izaya? Why the fuck are you staring at me?"

My cheeks flamed up, "I wasn't!"

"Come on… Don't deny things you get caught doing."

I rubbed my neck, "I was just thinking… Sorry."

He peaked an eye open, "Out with it."

"I was thinking! That's all!"

"By the way your face is red, I'd say you were thinking something about me." He smirked closing his eye and placing his hands behind his head.

"So!" I quickly buried my head back into my work and tried to ignore him, "I can't get any work done with you."

"Might want to act madder… I'm not convinced."

I laughed lightly and continued to type on my computer, "I'm gonna be up a little late tonight… You can go on to bed if you want."

"How late?" He popped open a mocha eye again.

"Uh… You don't need to know that answer."

"Flea." He warned opening both eyes.

"I might be at this all night." I sighed glancing up at him.

He glared, "Izaya."

"The guy will be here at nine. I have to be done by then."

"I'll sleep all I want after he leaves." My fingers began to work on their own as I looked up at him.

Shizuo glared, "Do what you have to.. Just don't get sick!"

I rolled my eyes, "I'll be fine."

"Coming from the person was stabbed a little over a month ago… And has poor circulation."

I smirked, "Thanks for worrying Shizu-chan… But how many times did you chase me through the snow? Rain?"

"How many times did you come home sick?" He challenged, "Because I remember not seeing you for a while after we did that."

I admit I was a little sick after those fights, but nothing sleep and tea didn't fix. "I'll be fine." I confirmed with a stern look, "Why don't you go take a nice long bath and relax?"

"Come with me." He folded his arms.

"Enjoying a bath with you will only lead to more of my time gone. Not that I don't really want to… Believe me… I want to."

He sighed, "Had to try."

I smiled and went back to work only to take a break when he brought me tea and kissed my head, "Off to bed?" I questioned grateful for the warm beverage.

He nodded and nuzzled my neck, "Try to get into bed sometime time tonight. Please?"

"Believe me I'll try." I smiled leaning into him.

"Goodnight Izaya."

"Night Shizu-chan." I smiled watching him walk away. I laugh at how stupid I was for crying over this shit when I was alone. I literally sat up, ate ice cream, and watched stupid romantic movies crying over the fact that I didn't think I was ever going to be with Shizuo. Now here I was… Telling him goodnight and promising to join him in our bed, in our apartment. I seriously need to find something 'manly' to do.

I felt the night taking its toll on me as the time drug on. At this rate I'd be old and wrinkly by 26. Oh I can't handle that. My hands rubbed at my temples and I rubbed my eyes. The clock on my laptop read 3:30. I slammed my head on my desk, set an auto scan, and then stood from my chair. My back popped in protest as I stretched.

Flinging my grey hoodie onto the couch as I clicked off lights, I slowly made my way up the stairs, slowly or dragged whichever you'd like to imagine. I quickly cleaned myself up and got ready for bed. Shizu-chan didn't even manage to wake up as I crawled under the covers with him. I lay on my back for a while before turning over. Shizu-chan wasn't the most attractive sleeper, but it was kind of cute I suppose.

He snored softly, not enough to really bother me, but enough to know that he was there. I guess I did kind of like that. His hair fell over his face in a rather ridiculous manner, but I smoothed it away. His mouth hung open lightly and he always lay in weird positions. I laughed lightly and pulled the sheet over me and snuggled next to him. I shut my eyes and relaxed only to let sleep take me.

When I woke up someone was smoothing my hair, "Hey Izaya."

I took a deep breath to really wake up and squinted up to see messy bleached hair, "Mm… Shizu-chan."

"You'd better get up… You have a meeting." He smiled.

"What time?"

"Seven thirty." He leaned down and kissed me quickly, "I'm off to work… So you'd better get up."

"Hm… Okay." I smiled and felt like rolling over and going back to sleep.

He smacked my cheek lightly and it was returned with a harsh glare, "Flea. Up. Now."

I pawed at his hands, "Okay… I'm getting up."

He smiled as I sat up and rubbed my eyes with my hands. "So cute." He kissed my head, "See you tonight."

"Yeah, yeah. Love you too, get the fuck going!"

"Grouchy when you get woke up huh Iza-Iza?"

I glared and smacked him away, "I'm tired protozoan!"

"What time did you come to bed?" He asked gently picking up his cigarette pack, "Like four?"

"Basically."

"You like to be romantic early in the morning I see."

My face lit up red and I quickly was up and hitting him with a pillow, "Go to work! I have stuff to do!"

He laughed and blew me a kiss as he left our bedroom. I drug myself to the shower and then into actual clothes. I ran downstairs to check my computer and stacked all of the papers together.

I stuffed the papers into a folder and covered my bags with concealer. Yes I wear concealer to hide dark bags from a sleepless night. Even gods need slight cosmetic help sometimes. I went to our agreed meeting spot and handed him the envelope. My money was to be wired, "I'd make sure you do it properly. You don't want to know what happens when you cross me."

He nodded gravely, "I promise! You're dating that debt collector aren't you? Shizuo Heiwajima, right?"

I blushed slightly but maintained my composure, "Yes… So you know not to cross me."

"Hell no if he's your boyfriend!"

I felt a smirk slide onto my face, "Alright then… Pleasure doing business with you."

When I returned back to the apartment I curled up on the couch and watched cartoons until I fell asleep. I only woke when Shizu-chan was handing me soup. "Hey… You had better eat something."

"I didn't even wake up when you came through the door." I frowned, "I'm a light sleeper."

"You must have been tired." He smiled kissing my forehead. "How'd the deal go?"

I remembered the guy mentioning how he wouldn't mess around because of Shizu-chan. A smirk played on my lips. Slowly I put the bowl down and wrapped my arms around his neck, "Seems falling in love with you has done me some good. Business is now guaranteed to have swift pay."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that people pay me very quickly, and make sure not to scam me… Because I'm dating you. We are becoming a very scary couple, very quickly." I smirked sensually nibbling on his neck in a sensitive area.

He swallowed hard, "That's actually kind of funny."

I pulled away from him and began to eat his soup, "I like it. I don't have to go chasing after clients for money anymore… Or send gangs after them."

"Or after me." He joked.

I felt the blush on my cheeks as I mumbled, "… You were hot when your shirt got torn off…"

"Excuse me?" He smirked raising an eyebrow.

"NOTHING!" I smiled scooting closer as we ate and watched T.V. Yeah… We were pretty much screwed from this point on. Everyone knew were probably twenty times more dangerous now that we joined forces. Boy was this city in for a new era. One of peace? Or of controlled chaos?
