Trapping the beast
Mikado smothered a yawn, calmly setting the laptop to one side. Everything was as it should be. Shizuo was fast asleep in their new shared bed. The fortissimo hadn't moved a muscle when he had snapped a picture. Izaya now knew that Shizuo hadn't safely left Ikebukuro as originally planned. However the informant didn't know that he and Kanra were Dual.
"Was that a wise move?" Kanra whispered tiredly.
"It won't ruin anything. As far as Izaya knows, we're holding him hostage." Mikado whispered back.
"Right and because we've left it with the photo, Izaya-nii will be panicking." Kanra grinned. "At least we'll get a decent night sleep. When are you planning to go back on the chat-room?"
"I don't. This will keep him guessing. Izaya won't dare make a move in fear of something happening to Shizuo."
"Izaya-nii always has something up his sleeve."
"Yeah but so do we." Mikado pressed a finger against his lips ending the conversation. It wouldn't do any good if their lover woke from his slumber.
"I missed him so much." Kanra whispered climbing onto the bed. Mikado hissed in warning. His warning went unheeded, slim fingers smoothing over the blonde's cheek.
"...Izaya..." Mikado flinched back at the sound of the informant's name. Shizuo was fast asleep and calling for their ex.
"No." Kanra murmured leaning forward to brush their noses together. "There's no room for Izaya here. We'll erase him. Every little thing he's done-"
"Shh!" Mikado hissed feeling the blonde stir. "Sorry, Shizuo." He apologised quickly seeing dazed chocolate orbs staring up at him. "Did I wake you?"
"Huh? Oh. It's you." Mikado forced a smile clenching his fist out of sight. "What's wrong? Couldn't sleep?"
"...no." Mikado mumbles feeling Kanra's distress. It's Izaya again. Izaya on Shizuo's lips and in clear view on his chest. It's sickening how wrapped up with the informant their lover is.
"Ah. Come here." Shizuo smiles tiredly pulling the covers back and gently gathering him into his arms. Mikado smiles back snuggling into the blonde's warm arms.

Mikado doesn't sleep. The teen almost does until he again hears a soft groan spill from the fortissimo's lips. It's coupled with Izaya's name which irritates Kanra to no end. He can feel her thoughts with his own. A gag would do but that wouldn't stop the feel of the crusted skin beneath his fingertips, spelling out the informant's cursed name.
Izaya needs to disappear. From Ikebukuro but more importantly from Shizuo's heart. However deep Izaya has managed to embed himself is how far they'll have to go to cut him out.
Shizuo's hand slips from his waist, moving to scratch at his chest. Kanra hisses whilst Mikado calmly reaches out clutching the blonde's hand. His fingers still move and the damning thing is that Shizuo is still asleep. Restless yet still asleep calling out for Izaya.
With a small sigh Mikado gently eases the blonde's hand away, moving his body up onto Shizuo's. Awkwardly he guides the arm around his back. Satisfied that he's disrupted yet more scarring of Izaya's name, Mikado closes his eyes, ear pressed against his lover's strong heartbeat.
"He'll try and leave us." Kanra whispers. Mikado's brow furrows knowing she's right. From the start there had been a guilty look on the blonde's face.
"We won't let him." Mikado's voice is firm. Shizuo's hand on his back twitches, trembling slightly. It's the cue for the blonde's lips to twitch. Mikado sighs clamping a hand over his lover's mouth. He can still hear the muffled 'Izaya' For now it feels good distorting the voice.

Izaya didn't sleep. It was one o'clock in the morning. Armed with another hit of caffeine to keep his eyes open, the raven stared at the photo on screen hoping for some clue to pop up. The photo could be fake. There was no way to tell since he hadn't seen the brute since the two of them broke up. From the way the blonde was positioned it was easy for him to see his ex was sleeping and not drugged as he had feared.
There were no mirrors or reflective surfaces that had captured an image of the person or people behind the camera. All he had to go on was a bed with his ex fast asleep. The blonde looked like he hadn't been sleeping at all. Dark patches circled his eyes. With a sigh Izaya reached out gently touching the screen. It was the first time he had seen his ex. It looked like the breakup had taken a toll on both of them.
Kasuka would give him the answer he was searching for. The younger Heiwajima should have left with the older one in tow. Ikebukuro should have been free from the protozoan- for both their sakes.
"Shizu-chan." Izaya's hand dropped to his side. "Why didn't you go?" Why had the brute let himself become a hostage of all things? "Protozoan."
Hanging his head, Izaya forced himself to look away from the screen. It shouldn't be anything to do with him. They were over. If the blonde wasn't drugged then everything would be fine when he woke up. The fortissimo's destructive temper would wreak havoc on the fools that tried to use him.
Closing down the picture, left him staring at the empty chat room. "Come on then, You have Shizu-chan. So what are your demands?" Izaya sighed watching the cursor flicker.
x-x-x
Mikado was the first to wake up. Lifting his head he picked out the specks of blood where Shizuo had managed to scratch after all. With a disappointed sigh, the teen slid from his lover.
"Well that didn't work." Kanra noted. "Does he want to be scarred?"
"Yeah." Mikado answered quietly. "Izaya isn't here any more. Shizuo hasn't let go."
"Neither has Izaya-nii. That mark is permanent." Kanra grit her teeth grinding them together. "I always did get left out of the rough play."
"It's going to take a lot of effort to replace Izaya."
"Then we're lucky there's two of us." Kanra grinned stripping down. "Let's get started."
x-x-x
Shizuo's eyelids fluttered, a pleasant warmth pooling in his abdomen. His limbs felt relaxed and for once the fortissimo woke up feeling normal or as close to normal as he remembered. No he did remember. It was when the three of them were together without a care in the world. Before he had begun to worry about his teenage lover.
"Huh?" Shizuo looked down seeing a bulge in the covers. Lifting them high, two different coloured eyes peered back at him. "What are you doing?"
"G-good morning, Shizuo." His lover smiled shyly. "You looked like you were having trouble sleeping." The teen poked his tongue out giving his shaft a small lick.
"You don't have to do that!" Shizuo moaned. "Listen, I need to-"
"Lay back and relax. I'll take care of everything." Mikado kissed the tip descending down on him.
"Izaya isn't-"
"Here." The teen finished for him hollowing his cheeks. "He left us."
Shizuo groaned falling back against the soft pillows. Mikado wasn't listening to him. The sooner the misunderstanding was cleared up the better. "Hey! Your teeth!"
"Hm?" The teen looked up at him confused. "Not good?"
"No, it feels good." Shizuo gently pressed against the raven's head easing him away. "We need to talk."
"You want to get rid of me?" Mikado murmured looking downcast. "I love you, Shizuo. I came back for you."
Shizuo's breath hitched, chest tightening. "I love you too but-"
"Then the rest doesn't matter." Mikado smiled uneasy. "Right? We can stay here. Just the two of us."
"Mikado..." Shizuo gasped. "No! Don't cry. Please don't cry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-shit. We'll do what you want, okay?" Shizuo reached out comforting the sobbing teen.
"R-really?"
Shizuo nodded brushing the tears away with his thumb. When the truth came out the teen would shed a lot more tears- a sight he never wanted to see.
"T-thank you, Shizuo." Mikado cried flopping down on his chest.
"...sure." Shizuo murmured gently rubbing the teen's back. "What are you doing?"
Mikado's hand was on his dick squeezing lightly. "I want to do it. We can't?"
Both of them were aroused. Shizuo bit the inside of his cheek. The basis of their relationship was a lie. But the teen was back between his legs sucking him off, gazing up at him with those deep eyes. "Why don't we have breakfast first?" Shizuo grunted trying to hold himself back.
"Won't it be uncomfortable if we leave things like this?"
Very much so. Shizuo thought fisting the covers. The teen was gazing at him with an adorable smile. "Shit. I-"
A soft melody floated through the apartment. Mikado blinked shooting off the bed like a rocket. "Sorry that's mine."
Shizuo stared after the teen dumbfounded by the sudden change. It was almost as if the raven was another person. With a sigh Shizuo got up heading for the bathroom. A cold shower would fix his problem.
x-x-x
"Hello?" Kanra answered the phone a little miffed that they had been disturbed. There was no turning Shiki away without facing the consequences.
"I have a job for you, Dual-kun."
"Okay. Email me the details and I'll get straight on it."
"...you have forty-eight hours to get your affairs in order. After that I want a personal report from you. Do not disappoint me like your predecessor."
"Yes, Shiki-san." Mikado looked around making sure Shizuo didn't accidentally hear him say the yakuza's name. From the clipped tone he knew the man wasn't pleased with him. The phone felt like ice in his hand.
Ending the call, Kanra sighed shaking her head. "We can't leave the apartment yet."
"Not until we know Shizuo isn't going anywhere." Mikado confirmed. "Do you want to take over?"
"Seducing Shizuo?" Kanra grinned licking her lips. "My pleasure~."
With a skip in her step, Kanra made the short distance between herself and the bathroom. The door wasn't locked as they had expected it would be.
"Shizuo?" Kanra called out stepping into the bathroom. A silhouette through the steam showed their lover was inside the shower. "Shizuo?" Kanra opened the door stepping quickly inside to press herself against the blonde's naked body.
"Mikado." The blonde breathed looking like he'd been caught out doing something naughty. With a scowl Kanra glared at the blood dripping from Shizuo's chest.
"Shizuo, I don't like it when you hurt yourself." Leaning close Kanra flicked out her tongue sweeping away the trail. She didn't give their lover time to speak. One hand reached out grabbing the soap from the small shelf- Mikado.
Her counterpart was already thinking ahead, sliding the scented bar along their torso. "Mikado." It was a little annoying that he wasn't calling her name. For now she would let it slide. The less the fortissimo knew the better.
"Aren't we continuing?" Kanra asked pressing their free hand on the blonde's chest. "It's been so long."
"Ah!" Mikado groaned softly slipping a finger behind his balls. Kanra gasped leaning against Shizuo.
"Hey! Don't push yourself. Come here."
"It's okay, Shizuo. You can be rough with us."
"Us?"
Kanra froze at her mistake. Mikado lowered his head. "Sorry. We always do this with him. Sorry."
"Don't be." Shizuo murmured turning off the water. "You'll see him again."
Doubtful. Kanra almost spat, if not for Mikado taking the initiative to kiss the naked blonde.

Not in the shower. Shizuo had made that much clear. He wasn't at full strength and the last thing he wanted was to hurt the teen. That was why he had moved them to the bedroom.
Mikado's desperation was understandable as was the reaction from his own body. "Shizuo." The teen breathed slowly lowering himself down. Shizuo groaned at the strangled tightness around him.
"You should have let me prepare you." Shizuo growled hating the pained look settled on the teen's face.
"I'm okay, Shizuo." Slowly the warmth around him began to recede as Mikado lifted himself up. Shizuo held his breath as if he was at the top of one of those high rides at a theme park. The teen smiled slamming down on his balls.
"Ah!" Both of them cried out. Wanting to reach out but knowing he shouldn't, Shizuo let the young raven take control. First Izaya and now Mikado. This time it didn't feel like farewell sex. Unlike Izaya, he couldn't make up his mind or find the resolve to spit out the damning truth.
Click. Shizuo blinks staring at the phone pointed in his direction. "What are you doing?" He asks calmly.
"Taking a picture." Mikado responds sheepishly. "I want it as a memory." Shizuo flinches as the first tear falls. "I don't know when I'll be left alone again."
"Mikado..." Guilt stabs into him like a thousand needles. "Okay. If it makes you feel better. Take as many as you need." If it helped with the raven's insecurity then he'd have to put up with the knowledge Mikado had a few dozen pics on his phone.
"Really? Thank you." The two colour eyed teen smiled snapping away. Shizuo sighed gently rolling his hips with a light thrust. "Mm."

Nothing. Izaya had wasted an entire morning waiting for a demand or some stupid task he would have to accomplish. Instead there was silence.
Ping.
Izaya's head snapped up hearing the sound on his laptop. Finally. "What are your demands, Dual-san?"
Dual has entered the chat room.
Dual- Good morning. I trust you slept well.
Nakura:- Where's Shizu-chan?
Dual:- Not very sociable are you? I suppose that's why all your humans hate you so much.
Nakura:- Where's Shizu-chan?
Dual:- In the shower. Things got a little messy.
At his desk Izaya froze fearing the worst.
Dual:- what? No comment? Are you worried I left him bloodied? We did something way more fun together. After all we're in the exclusive club of those that got screw Shizuo Heiwajima.
Izaya's eyes widened, fist slamming down on the desk.
Dual:- Are you still there? We're curious how you're feeling. Hurt? Devastated? Angry? Your puppy has a new owner.
Nakura:- You drugged Shizu-chan.
Izaya typed out the accusation, fingers trembling with rage. His eyes burned with fury, the only thought that cheered him up was what he was going to do to the pair when he got his hands on them.
Dual:- Nope. He's drug free. This was of his own free will. Poor thing was starved of affection after the way you left him.
Dual:- Ah. I suppose you won't believe me. That's why I have evidence.
Izaya stared at the small file waiting to be opened.
Dual:- He felt perfect underneath me.
Izaya opened the picture. It was true. The blonde was laying on the bed staring straight at him eyes wide. More pictures followed each as damning as the one before.
Dual:- Something I guess you wouldn't know any more. I'd love to see your face right now.
Nakura:- What a coincidence. I'd like to meet you too.
Dual:- Too bad. Here's a gift for you. Enjoy it. It's the last time you'll ever hear his voice.
Dual has left the chat room.
A video file. Izaya grit his teeth clicking the file open. It wasn't a surprise that the screen showed the protozoan on the bed like the photos. "Here goes." The raven grimaced clicking play.
The screen moved rocking back and forth like a wave. The one behind the camera didn't utter a sound but the one in clear view was plenty vocal. "Ah. Shit. You're so tight." Izaya turned away thrusting himself away from the desk.
Dual had slept with his ex. Not only did this new informant have the blonde captive, the annoyance was sleeping with him. Hearing enough, Izaya picked up the laptop hurling it at the wall. It didn't break.
"Ah. More. Feels good." The blonde's moans filled his ears even though the screen was cracked inside. Storming over Izaya stamped on the device again and again in a fit of rage.
"No no no no no! I'm the only one that gets to play with Shizu-chan!"

Shizuo stared at the door to the study Mikado had taken for his own. Nearing the door he could hear laughter inside. "It's a shame we can't see his face."
"It would be something like this."
Shizuo knocked on the door before opening it. The teen looked up from the desk. "Who were you talking to?"
"A friend." Mikado smiled over at him.
"Oh. Okay. I'm making lunch. Do you want anything?"
"No thanks. I'm not really hungry."
"Are you sure? We did go at it for a long time. If you want we could go out and eat?" Shizuo suggested. Really though it was the last thing he wanted to do. His friends all thought he was with Kasuka outside of Ikebukuro. All the goodbyes felt pointless now.
"No!" Mikado cried standing quickly. "Kasuka-san ordered plenty of food. It would be a same to waste it."
"Yeah." Shizuo readily agreed. The teen smiled hurrying over to him. Warmth surged through him at the touch. "What were you laughing about?"
"Cat videos." The teen smiled leading him to the kitchen. "I'll show you later."
"Sure. I could do with a laugh. I should probably give Kasuka a call."
"Already done." Mikado waved the phone. "He said he'll be in a place that's low on signal for a while."
Shizuo shrugged. "Later then. Your hips feel okay?"
"I'm fine, Shizuo." The teen blushed.
"Are you sure? I didn't go too far?"
Mikado smiled embracing him. "Everything is good. What should we make for lunch?"
"Something small." Shizuo sighed. It would be a while before his appetite returned. Until then he had to take care of himself so he didn't worry Kasuka or the teen.
