" I wonder when you'll wake up. You were always able to get up after you got hit by the vending machines I throw." He said as he heard a sound from the Information Broker who opened his eyes slowly, " Hey you're awake that's good." Shizuo said with a soft smile to reassure the raven.

" D-don't. . ." Izaya began but Shizuo shushed him.

" Don't talk the stitches on your throat will open up. I won't hurt you. You're gonna be staying here with me until you are better. Is there anything you want? Something to eat, drink what?" The blonde asked as Izaya looked at him with a blank like stare. He shook his head slowly, " You need to eat Izaya." Shizuo said.

" J-just. . .let me die. Finish me off. . ." Izaya said slowly as the bartender frowned.

Chapter 2

The bartender frowned at what the Information Broker had just said to him. He wondered why but then remembered he was. . .sexually assaulted and nearly killed. He didn't want to say well you know that word. He got up and crouched beside the bed and looked at Izaya in the eyes to see that there was just no life in them. Izaya didn't look at him but he looked down as if he was looking at the blanket that was covering him. Shizuo didn't know he would be traumatized by whatever happened so he didn't want to push the other male to telling him what happened.

" Hey Flea I won't hurt you or make you tell me what happened so don't worry just worry about getting better alright." Shizuo said as Izaya didn't reply but just sat there, " I'm gonna go call Shinra and tell him you're awake. While i'm at it i'll go get something for you to eat and drink." He added as the other just kept looking down. It kind of broke Shizuo's heart to see this sight really. He walked out of his room and pulled out his phone and dialed Shinra's number and waited for him to answer.

" Hello?" Shinra answered.

" I was just letting you know he's awake." The blonde said.

" That's good I'll be over to check up on him." The doctor said and hung up as Shizuo put his phone down on the table and walked over to the kitchen and looked through the bag that Celty had bought for Izaya to eat. He grabbed a yogurt out of the bag and looked at it to see it was Kiwi Strawberry. He took off the lid and grabbed a spoon before walking back into the room Izaya was in. He saw Izaya was still looking down which frightened him alittle that he didn't move.

" Here Louse eat. It's Kiwi Strawberry." The Blonde said.

" C-can. . .you not call me that. . ." Izaya whispered lowly.

" Huh what did you say I couldn't hear?" Shizuo asked.

" N-no. . .call me that please!" He said alittle more louder as he began to cough badly blood running down his mouth; tears fell down as well.

" Hey hey don't cry and you can't talk your throat remember!" Shizuo said as he put his hand on Izaya's shoulder.

" DON'T TOUCH ME!" He screamed and Shizuo withdrawed his hand. He grabbed the rag and moved slowly to wipe the blood and tears away.

" I-I won't touch you i'm sorry." The body guard said as he handed Izaya the yogurt, " Just eat." He added as Izaya looked at the yogurt. He then put it on the nightstand beside the table, " Izaya come on and eat." He said getting slight irritated with the Information Broker who shook his head. That was when they both heard a knock and Shizuo turned and began walking to the door but stopped and turned to looked at the raven, " Eat it. Celty bought it just for you." He said and walked out and went to answer the door seeing it was the doctor, " Come in. I'm trying to get him to eat but he won't." He explained as Shinra walked in.

" It's common with tragic events like this." Shinra said, " I wanna check up in everything now that he's alright and figure what happened." He added.

" Wait, he might not wanna talk about it." Shizuo said, " He tried talking earlier but I told him not to and he began coughing up blood." He told the doctor as Shinra walked over to his room and walked in.

" Izaya it's good to see you're awake. How are you feeling?" Shinra asked with a smile as Izaya just looked at him, " Can I look at your throat? The bandages need to be changed and I wanna take a look at how good it is recovering as well as your other wounds?" He asked as Izaya turned his head towards him, " I promise I won't do anything else but check up on you." He said as he unwrapped the bloody bandages and looked at the stitches on his throat, " Hmm Shizuo told me earlier you were talking remember you gotta take it slow and not talk so you can recover. Try talking with your phone like Celty does that will help so we can understand you." He said as Shizuo handed the raven his phone, " Does anything hurt Izaya?" he asked. Izaya began typing his message and then showed them.

[ Let me die please. I don't wanna deal with this pain anymore. He'll come back.]

" Who will come back Izaya?" Shizuo asked, " We arn't gonn let you die." He said as Izaya began erasing his last message and typing a new one.

[ He will. . .I don't wanna say who I can't!]

" Don't worry Izaya you don't have to. But if he did we don't want him doing this again." The Blonde said.

" Well are you hurting anywhere Izaya?" Shinra asked as Izaya shook his head, " Good just rest up for now." He said as he wrapped fresh new bandages around his neck and then walked out of the room with Shizuo following behind, " He should be fine after that gash in his throat recovers but he's afraid." The brunette said crossing his arms.

" Afraid of whoever did this?" Shizuo asked as the Doctor nodded, " Never thought I would see him being afraid of someone?"

" Yeah. . .same here it's really weird." Shinra said, " 'He' I wonder who that is?" The doctor asked.

" Same." Shizuo said looking back at the room where Izaya laid in.

" Well if anything changes let me know and do anything to get him eating even if it means stuffing something down his throat." Shinra said as Shizuo nodded. Shinra then walked out leaving Shizuo alone in his living room. He walked into his room and saw Izaya still sitting there.

" Come on Izaya you need to eat." The body guard said looking at the Information Broker as he crossed his arms, " Is it the yogurt you don't like or are you not hungry?" He asked. Izaya opened his mouth to speak but forgot not to because of his throat injury. So he picked his phone up typed something and then showed the other.

[ I just don't wanna eat right now.]

" Well how about getting a drink and maybe taking a shower then maybe after thazt you can eat." Shizuo suggested as Izaya looked at him, " I mean you can take a bath if you want instead?" He said, " Also tomorrow I can stop by you place and get you some change of clothes or anything you need." He added as Izaya slowly nodded, " Izaya you can come to?" Izaya shook his head no feverishly and started to shake badly as he typed of the phone.

[ He'll find me I can't go!]

" No he won't, if he does then i'll beat him dead. Izaya i'll protect ya." Shizuo said as Izaya looked at him with a confused look. The Raven wanted to cry because Shizuo; the person Izaya had made suffer alot of times, the person who wanted him dead just told him he would protect him and hurt the person who hurt him. He didn't understand why he was saying these things but he guessed Shizuo was more human than he thought more than him atleast. He typed onto his phone once more and showed the bartender the message.

[ Why? Why are you taking care of me? Why are you willing to go all out for me when I've made you suffer?]

" I don't know either. Kadota, Shinra and Celty ask that as well and really I couldn't leave you out there to die, it's not right. Everyone needs someone to lean on when they need help and I know you don't really have that I mean maybe your twin sisters or your secretary but if they didn't I would. Because I sure know Shinra wouldn't." Shizuo explained, " He says I should make you owe me one but I'm not that kind of person so don't worry about that."

[ Really? I'm kind of surprised you haven't thrown me out. I mean you are when I get more better but it ain't gonna help he'll find me and nearly kill like he's done many times before.]

" So he has done this many other times?" Shizuo asked; feeling Izaya was feeling more close to tell him but knew he might not tell him either and he was ok with that Izaya didn't need to tell him unless he wanted to.

[ Yes but I can't tell you who he might come hurt you I mean he actually can hurt me. So he can get you too.]

" If you don't remember Izaya nothing can hurt me. I'm the Monster of Ikebukuro for nothing." Shizuo said.

[ I still don't want to risk it so please.]

" Ok I won't but tomorrow I got to work so I'll have Kadota come over; if he can, to watch you until I get home. I'll run by your place in Shinjuku and grab some clothes for you while i'm out tomorrow." Shizuo explauned as Izaya nodded who then began to type.

[ Namie might be there waiting for me to come back. Just tell her she has a week off maybe more.]

" What if she don't believe me? No doubt she won't." The blonde as Izaya looked at him, erased the previous message and began typing another one.

[ She will as long as she knows she has more time with her 'Prescious Brother' she won't question it one bit.]

" Alright. I'm gonna go ahead and call Kadota and see if he can come over and watch you-" Shizuo began but was interrupted by Izaya who pulled at his sleeve.

[ I don't need watching. But it would be nice if someone came over to keep me company while you're gone. . .just in case he comes here.]

" Ok ok to keep you company." The Bartender said rolling his eyes slightly, but he understood why Izaya didn't want him to say 'Watch over him' as if he was a child and he wanted someone hear or he believed that the person who had hurt him would come to finish the job or something, " Now onto something more serious. You taking a bath and eating. Will you do it for me or are you gonna have to make me force you to eat?" He asked as Izaya flinched when he said force, " S-sorry shouldn't have said forced. You just need to eat to get better and shower so you don't stink up my place." The blonde added as he crossed his arms.

[ It's fine. . .I guess i'll take one but only if you stand at the door just in case. . .]

Shizuo read the message once Izaya was done typing it and had showed him. He must still be spooked about whoever did this to him. Shizuo didn't know why Izaya just didn't tell him who so he can go find the bastard; but he did understand why though. The guy who did this to the Information Broker must be someone with alot of resources or who is strong enough to scare Izaya Orihara. Even Shizuo didn't scare him; when alaot of people were. Izaya took the covers off of him and turned to where his legs were dangling off the side of the bed. Shizuo walked up beside him to help him up, just in case he hadn't recovered enough to be able to stand on his own. Izaya was currently wearing a white buttoned T-shirt that was too big on him because it was Shizuo's and his black jeans with the belt around it. Izaya's other clothes; including his signature fur-trimmed jacket was washing at the moment. Shizuo was glad he was actually willing to take a shower and then eat after he gets out. Shows that the raven was getting better, emotionally and physically. Izaya got up and with the help from Shizuo made their way to Shizuo's bathroom. Izaya leaned against the counter while Shizuo went and got him a towel and came back.

" Now do you need me to help you out of those clothes or do you got it yourself?" Shizuo asked as Izaya shook his head no, " Alright and after your bath i'll have to take off your bandages and rebandage you. Now let me get the bath started for you." He said as Izaya nodded and he walked over to the tub and turned the right nob left and the left one right. The water started filling up the tub until it was good, " Is this good for you?" He asked looking at Izaya who walked over to the tub and placed his slim fingers into the water feeling the temperature, " I can't have it too hot because of your wounds, but i'm gonna be outside the door if you need anything. If you need me use your phone and use this ringtone." He said as he grabbed izaya's phone and went to the music player and began to play the song, " Game of Life", " Just play this if you need me ok?" He said as Izaya nodded and Shizuo walked out and closed the door behind him. Shizuo walked over to the counter where his cigerettes were and grabbed one and grabbed the lighter beside them and lit it putting the butt in his mouth. He inhaled the fumes from the cigerette and sat down on the couch and relaxed. He felt tired even though he didn't do anything much today. He was glad Izaya finally woke and would be ok; something he never thought would happen. Izaya was the person who has caused him hell alot; the person he wanted dead. He never thought he would be taking care of him; helping him. He laid his head back on the couch and closed his eyes for a second when he heard.

" My first life was so boring just forget mentioned it, and my second seemed to let me do all the things my first life didn't, Third life was a hateful man all poison to the bone, in my fourth, I played the piano but just didn't have the eyes to read the notes."

He heard the song and got up and knocked to alert Izaya he was about to come in. He opened the door to see Izaya still in the tub but his face was twisted in fear. Shizuo didn't understand what was wrong until he saw the phone in the other's hand.

" What's wrong Izaya?" Shizuo asked as Izaya looked at him and showed him his phone. Izaya pointed to the message that was on the screen.

From: Blocked Number

I almost got you last time, this time though I won't fail on killing you; you ungrateful, poor excuse to a Information Broker. The other times I didn't kill you because someone always got in the way or you got away but this time I promise you will die by my hands.

Shizuo froze as he read the message that Izaya had gotten. He looked at the other who had tears threatening to fall. He walked up to Izaya and hugged him; not caring that he was naked or anything, but he felt like the Information Broker needed right now. He definately needed someone right now to be with him. If only Shizuo knew who sent that message then he could find the person and beat him to a bloody pulp. Izaya was terrified; shaking badly and Shizuo knew he was holding back the tears.

" It's ok Izaya just let it all out." Shizuo whispered as he held the other closer as Izaya cried out and hid his face is Shizuo's shirt, " Everything will be ok. I promise Izaya." Shizuo said.
