Five days had gone by since Izaya had let down his guard down around Shizuo. Their mornings started out with Shizuo waking him up and helping him to shower so he could bathe while Shizuo made breakfast. Then Shizuo dressed Izaya in his clothes for the day and helped him eat. After the dishes were washed, Shizuo and Izaya headed for the debt collection office so that Izaya wouldn't be by himself while Shizuo was working.
Everything should have been good; except that Shizuo found himself watching the blind raven more often than not. Izaya couldn't see, so he was well unaware of the attention he was receiving from the artificial blonde, which Shizuo was almost thankful.
"Flea, we're heading to Russia Sushi for dinner with Ryuu-chan and Kanta-san, so let's go."
Izaya stood from the chair at Shizuo's desk and allowed Shizuo to lead him outside of the building as he waved goodbye to all his coworkers. The two made their way to Russia Sushi, hand in hand.
"Shizu-chan, I was thinking-"
"Oh God, we're all gonna die."
Izaya pouted as Shizuo laughed at his own joke. The raven would never admit it, but he liked Shizuo's laugh. It was soothing and helped to calm the raven when he was agitated or upset.
"Shaddup! I was about to say that I should start coming with you and Tom-san on your jobs."
Shizuo widened his eyes at the informant's suggestion. He had been contemplating the same thing, but was unsure if the raven would find much point in it.
"I wouldn't necessarily be against you coming with me on my jobs, but I don't know if one of the debt holders would try to use you to escape. I don't want to put you in harm's way."
Izaya tried to hide a smile as a blush appeared on his face. Whenever the blonde would show him any kind of care or affection, Izaya's care felt as though it was on fire and he couldn't help a smile breaking out on his face or for him to go completely red in the face.
"Aww! I didn't know Shizu-chan cared about me so much! I feel special!"
Shizuo flushed with a growl and was once again almost grateful that Izaya couldn't see him.
"Ne, Shizu-chan, you're hand's all sweaty. It's kind of gross. Can you wipe it off real quick?"
However, Shizuo cursed fate for giving human's a sense of touch at the worst of times.
"Deal with it, Flea! We're almost there."
Izaya pouted again and wrapped both arms around Shizuo's right arm.
"Ah! Hey, what are you-!"
Izaya nuzzled in to Shizuo's arm with a content smile as the two continued walking. Shizuo sighed in defeat and allowed the raven to hold onto him the rest of way to Russia Sushi.

"Shizuo-kun, Iza-kun! Over here!"
Ryuu waved the two men over when they walked into the semi-crowded sushi restaurant. Izaya pouted while Shizuo helped him into the booth seat across from the two siblings.
"Ryuu-chan! Why does Shizu-chan get called first? I thought we were friends!"
Ryuu laughed at the raven's childish behavior and they ordered their sushi.
A while into their meal, Izaya and Ryuu left to try a claw game. Izaya would play the claw and Ryuu would be his eyes, which left Shizuo alone with Kanta for a few minutes.
Shizuo liked Kanta because he was a calm, kind-hearted man who practically raised his sister since they were kids. From what he and Ryuu had told him, Kanta also watched Izaya and his sisters as well on a daily basis since the both family's parents were always away on business. Shizuo guessed that that was how Ryuu and Kanta knew so much about the raven's personal life even though Izaya acted as though he was some loner.
"So, Shizuo-kun, how is life with Izaya-chan? Are the two of you getting along well?"
Shizuo nodded as he took a helping of his sushi.
"I guess so. I mean, we're not fighting as much so…"
Kanta nodded before taking a sip of his barley tea. He cradled his cup as he watched Izaya and Ryuu trying to win the claw game and failing miserably with an affectionate smile. He turned back to Shizuo to see the same expression on his face, but he could tell the artificial blonde only had his eyes on Izaya. He smiled mischievously and took another sip.
"You know, Shizuo-kun, me and Izaya-chan have known each other for a long time. I've been looking after him since Ryuu-chan met him in primary school."
Shizuo hummed in acknowledgement, but did not turn to Kanta as he took a sip of his water. Kanta kept in a giggle as he leant forward to whisper in Shizuo's ear so only he could hear.
"In fact, I helped him when he first became curious about other men."
Shizuo's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates and he spit out the mouthful of water he had been in the process of swallowing down all over the floor. He received a few stares and mumbled a few apologies before giving Kanta's not-so-innocent smile his full attention.
"What was that, Kanta-san? You? And the flea?"
Kanta shrugged as he nonchalantly sipped his tea.
"It was a very confusing time for him. As his 'big brother', I felt it necessary to give him my full attention and show him what I know. It was nothing serious, mind you, and Ryuu-chan has no clue about it to this day. We agreed to keep it our dirty little secret."
Kanta winked at Shizuo, causing him to blush heavily in anger. He had expected Izaya's first time with a man to be with Arata, but he never thought it to have started with the man he called "Nii-chan". Shizuo was about to inquire further, but was interrupted by a sudden weight on his side and turned to see Izaya's dull red eyes and his cheeks puffed out in a pout.
"Shizu-chan! The claw game won't give us anything! You try it! Ryuu-chan sucks!"
Shizuo listened to the raven's whine-laced request and sighed as he stood up to be led towards the game. He looked back briefly to glare at Kanta waving at them with a knowing smile and wink directed towards Shizuo.

The two men made it back to Izaya's flat ready to turn in for the night. Well, Izaya was anyway. Shizuo was still stuck on what Kanta had told him back at the restaurant. He wanted to ask Izaya about it, but wasn't sure how to go about it or even bring it up without drawing suspicion. Their relationship had improved immensely and Shizuo didn't want to ruin that.
"Shizu-chan, is something wrong?"
Shizuo was brought out of his reverie by a soft tug on his sleeve and looked down to see his charge looking up at him with unseeing eyes furrowed in concern.
"A-ah, yeah? What is it?"
Izaya shook his head with sigh before he turned to feel along the wall towards his bedroom. The raven turned to his direction expectantly and Shizuo sighed as he helped the raven get ready for his evening bath.
"Ne, Shizu-chan? Is something bothering you?"
Shizuo tensed at this but continued to dress the raven into his nightwear. He shrugged as he helped the raven get his shorts on.
"Nothing. Why?"
Izaya caressed the blondes head as he had made a habit of doing whenever Shizuo dressed him. At first, Shizuo was caught off guard, but eventually settled as a daily routine.
"I don't know. You just seem really quiet this evening. It worries me."
Shizuo remained silent. He didn't know why his anger flared up every time he thought of Izaya being with Kanta. When Arata was the raven's only known partner, Shizuo blamed the anger on the fact that his worst enemy had been under the thumb of someone who posed for pictures for a living, whereas he had been throwing stop signs, vending machines and the like at the elusive flea for years. Now though, he wasn't sure what he could use to explain his sudden anger other than…
"Shizuo…"
Shizuo finished putting socks on the raven's feet before he looked up at his full name, and almost gasped at the lack of distance between them.
"Shizuo, what's wrong? Is it something I did?"
Shizuo continued to stare into the eyes that had once been so full of life and mischief, and now were dull and blank as they could only see pitch black instead of the color they once took wonder in.
Shizuo's eyes traveled across facial features from his eyes, to his shallow crow's feet, to his nose scrunched up in concern which the artificial couldn't deny to be anything, but cute. Finally, his eyes landed on the raven's slightly parted lips. They were still moist from the informant's bath and were practically begging to be ravaged. A tongue peeked out to lick those succulent lips and Shizuo couldn't resist as he leaned forward and crashed his lips with the unsuspecting raven's, who gasped in response.
Taking the opportunity, Shizuo used Izaya's surprise to sneak his own tongue into the shocked informant's wet cavern. Their tongues battled for dominance for several moments, until Izaya let himself succumb to the pleasure and allowed Shizuo to take control.
Once dominance had been established, Shizuo trailed kisses across the raven's neck before focusing on his jugular.
"Ah! S-Shizu-Ngh! What…a-are you-!"
"Shut up n' enjoy it, Flea."
Izaya's protest were cut off by Shizuo reaching a hand under his shorts and caressing his hardening length.
"Nah! S-Shi…S-S-!"
Shizuo silenced the raven with a passionate kiss as he coaxed the informant's tongue out to play with as he stroked the raven to full hardness. Izaya couldn't keep down his moans as he felt rough, yet gentle hands caress his body from top to bottom. Even when making love to Arata, he had never had the pleasure of so much foreplay. It had always been quick and rough because of their busy schedules. However, with Shizuo he could feel the blonde's teasing smirk against his skin and thoroughly enjoyed the touches his body was so unused to. Plus, with his inability to see his counterpart, every touch felt as though flames were dancing throughout his body and he was quickly becoming addicted to the feeling.
"Shizu-c-chan! M-More! Ah! P-Please!"
Shizuo fulfilled the raven's request as he pressed three fingers to the informant's lips, which Izaya gladly took as he coated them thoroughly with saliva. Shizuo hummed in approval as he concentrated on how the nerve receptors in his fingers were on overdrive. While Izaya lubricated his fingers, Shizuo latched his free hand onto the hem of Izaya's shorts and boxers and lowered them enough to expose the raven's puckered entrance.
"Alright, that's enough."
Izaya released the artificial blonde's fingers and watched as they trailed down his torso all the way to where the heat in his body seemed to gravitate to.
Suddenly, a knock was heard at the front door. Shizuo grumbled as he wiped off his fingers and left to go answer it. Izaya sat in confusion while he awaited the blondes return. In the meantime, he took the chance to calm down and fix his clothes.
Shizu-chan…
Izaya heard footsteps walk into the room. He assumed them to be Shizuo's and sat up to confront the bodyguard.
"Shizu-chan, we need to talk. I don't know what all that was about, but-!"
Izaya was cut off with a pair of lips meeting with his. They seemed to know all his weak spots and Izaya was immediately lost in the kiss. However, not too long after it started, something to Izaya didn't seem right. Shizuo was a good kisser, but he shouldn't have been able to turn Izaya on so quickly unless they had shared encounters such as this one regularly. Izaya tried to pull away, but a hand held his chin in place so that he couldn't move, and he was losing oxygen fast. Izaya struggled against the hold before finally breaking free with a much needed intake of air.
"S-Shizu-!"
A sultry voice spoke with a hint of amusement that made Izaya's skin crawl when he found he recognized it all too well.
"Honey, I'm home! Did you miss me?"

Shizuo groaned as he rose from his spot on the floor and rubbed the sore spot on his head.
"Careful, Shizuo-kun. You suffered a nasty blow to the head."
Shizuo's vision focused enough that he could make out Ryuu crouching above him with a concerned gaze.
"What happened? Where's the flea?"
Ryuu shook her head, causing Shizuo to raise and eyebrow at her.
"I just got here. I found you unconscious here by the entryway. I was about to go look for Iza-kun since he hasn't been answering."
Shizuo's eyes widened. Izaya always answered whenever he was called, especially if Ryuu was the one calling him. Immediately, the bodyguard was up and racing to the bedroom on the second floor. Shizuo threw open the door and was horrified to find the bedroom empty. Shizuo searched the bathroom, the closet and even under the bed. Izaya was gone. Ryuu joined Shizuo upstairs not much later and took in the surroundings of the empty bedroom and the still Shizuo. Understanding what had happened, Ryuu walked over to the bartender and patted his shoulder in an effort to comfort him. Shizuo didn't notice it.
Ryuu then left Shizuo to call her brother, Shinra and Celty so that they could get a search party together. She also messaged a few of her business contacts for any information regarding the location of Izaya Orihara. She made her station at the missing informant's desk and got to work searching for her childhood friend.
Shizuo watched in fascination as Ryuu went from his kindhearted, always smiling friend to this serious, ruthless informant who was set on getting what she needed to know, no matter what hoops she had to jump through. Seeing the fire in Ryuu's eyes as hacked into street cameras across Tokyo made Shizuo realize that standing around in disbelief wouldn't help get Izaya back, and made his way towards the door.
"Shizuo-kun, where are you going?"
Shizuo turned to see that Ryuu had momentarily directed her attention from the multiple computers to the departing ex-bartender.
"I'm going to get Izaya-kun back. Then, I'm going to kill the fucker that took him."
Ryuu gave Shizuo a small reassuring smile and turned her attention back to her work station. Shizuo was out the door before she could even wish him luck.
Izaya knew he was awake, so he knew he wasn't dead-yet. Testing his limbs, Izaya could see that his wrists were tied together in front of him and his legs were free. His torso and feet felt cold, which told him that his shirt and socks had been removed, yet his pajama shorts had been opted out for a light pair of jeans. He was laying on something soft, probably a bed. Sitting up, Izaya used his one good ear to try and get a feel of his surroundings. He suspected he was alone in the room, but not unguarded.
He heard muffled voices before hearing the turning of a doorknob. A person walked in and closed the door before walking over to him and sitting at the end of the bed. Izaya could feel the intense gaze at it raked up and down his half-naked body.

"Don't look so frightened, Kitten. You know I don't bite hard."

Izaya shuddered at the smirk he heard in that voice, the voice he thought he finally free of after months of pure torture.

"Who's scared? I'm cold. I guess you didn't tell your henchmen to at least put a blanket over me, Arata."

Arata sighed before crawling on the bed towards the raven haired informant and stroking his face, causing him to jump in surprise.

"I miss that old pet name you had for me, Iza-chan. What ever happened to that? You used to call out to me so cute with your desperation for my attention."

[Flashback - 5 Years Ago]

"Ara-kun! Ara-kun! Wait up! I want to come too!"

A young Izaya ran out of his homeroom to catch up to his secret boyfriend of two months, Arata Ichirou. Arata turned to see his beloved kohai running down the hall while stuffing his books and papers into his backpack hurriedly. The raven haired male laughed as Izaya caught up to him and bent over panting to catch his breath. However, his rust colored eyes narrowed on a bandage peeking out from under Izaya's red t-shirt on the future informant's shoulder.

"What's that?"

Izaya looked up in confusion before following his senpai's gaze to his injured shoulder. His eyes widened as his face took on a shameful blush. Arata took notice of the raven's quiet demeanor.

"Was it Heiwajima again?"

Izaya nodded quietly as he averted his eyes. Arata sighed heavily, grabbed the surprised kohai's wrist, and dragged him into a nearby men's bathroom before locking the door. Izaya leaned against one of the many sinks and lowered his bag to the ground. Arata turned to the future informant and crossed his arms as he leaned against the door.

"Strip."

Izaya blushed heavily at the command and obeyed without question. Arata watched as the young raven let his black cropped jacket slide down his arms to the tiled floor before removing the shirt as well. The older man smirked.

"Not as bad as I thought it'd be. Did Ryuu-san patch that up for you?"

Izaya nodded without looking Arata in the eye as he kept his gaze to the bathroom floor. Arata growled as he strode over to Izaya, grabbed the younger man's face and closed the gap between them. Izaya's surprised gasp allowed Arata's tongue entry and he used it to reduce the future informant's knees to jelly. Once he released the informant, Izaya collapsed onto the cold floor and looked up at Arata expectantly. Arata tilted his head while giving Izaya a fake innocent smile.

"Was there something you needed, Babe?"

Izaya's face turned beet red as he looked down and clawed at his school slacks. Arata waited with a knowing smirk.

"P-Please, A-Arata-senpai…"

"'Please' what?"

Izaya gritted his teeth as he stood up and grabbed Arata by the collar of his shirt.

"You idiot, Senpai! T-There's no way I can play such a meek character! Just hurry up and kiss me again!"

Arata laughed as he held Izaya by the waist and rubbed his boyfriends back soothingly in an effort to calm him down.

"Okay, okay, so maybe I took the joke a little too far… I'm sorry, Iza-chan. How about I spoil you all day today?"

Izaya hid his still reddening face in Arata's shirt and relaxed as he took in the older man's natural musky scent.

"Idiot, Ara-kun…"

[End Flashback]

"That was a long time ago, Arata. Don't expect for me to be swept along so easily this time."

Arata sighed again as he lay his head on Izaya's lap and reached his hand up to play with the raven's hair.

"Maybe so, but I know you still love me, Iza-chan."

"Don't call me that! You lost the privilege to call me so familiarly when I lost the ability to see and hear accurately!"

Arata chuckled before grabbing Izaya's hair roughly and pulling the raven down until Izaya could feel the older man's breath on his face.

"At least sense the atmosphere a little, Babe. You're in my domain now, once again. Although, I wouldn't get comfortable just yet. We'll be moving soon."

Izaya froze as Arata rose from his spot on the young raven's lap and made his way to the door.

"W-Wait a minute! What do mean m-moving?"

Arata turned to the informant with a smirk with his hand still on the knob.

"You're a smart one, Kitten. I'm sure you could figure it out. What, did you think I was just going to keep you here and wait for your little playmate bitch, Ryuu-san, find me within the next few days. You must have forgotten that I've been with you for over five years. I know your trade inside and out. Prepare yourself for our honeymoon, Babe! We're going to Italy!"

With those words, Arata opened the door and closed it behind him before locking it. He leaned against the door and let out a breath before turning to the two men he had assigned to guarding the room.

"Go ahead and untie him and tell him he had free reign, but under no circumstances may he be anywhere alone. Wherever he goes, you go. Also, don't let go outside. Even blind and half deaf he's a formidable opponent on the streets."

The men nodded with a "yes, sir" as they set about to do as asked. He made his way down the hall to his office with a determined expression as he recalled what he had seen before abducting his lover. That Shizuo Heiwajima had touched his property, which had been clearly marked. No doubt he would try to find the informant even if he had to knock down whole of Tokyo. He couldn't lose his true love again. He would stop anything and anyone in his way. Even if it meant bearing the hate of the one he never wanted to lose.

"Izaya…"
