-๑-๑ ஜ ๑-Chapter 43: Ability unlocked -๑ ஜ ๑-๑-
Awkwardness defined Shizuo's face as he tried to break the news to Izaya.
"Kind of…?" he hesitated, almost sounding like he was asking Izaya about his own ability.
Curiosity, surprise, embarrassment and the slightest hint of nervosity breached their way onto Izaya's expression.
His thoughts ran wild.
"Since when? How? Why did you-"
Hands were raised in defense as Shizuo quickly hurried, "I didn't realize!" The degree of guilt in his expression was visible by a fault. "But, sometimes I thought you had said something when you didn't. Sometimes I hear you double and-" he faded out, looking at the raven.
Of course.
"When I was on the run you heard me cursing those bastards." Izaya finished the explanation.
Wow, great.
On top of a searing headache, being shot and chased by the police he now had not even his most private thoughts to himself.
Hand finding its way into his hair Izaya closed his eyes for a second.
He had been stupid. After discovering that he could stop time it would have made more than just sense to conclude that Shizu-chan might as well develop some sort of power.
What did he think? That he was the chosen one with some kind of monopol on witchcraft?
Turning his head he faced the blond abashed.
"So how long have you been stalking me without permission?" Shizuo seemed quite displeased by the way he phrased his question.
"Not at all- I can't hear you all the time, just, sometimes. And only a few words."
Relief made itself noticeable as Izaya sighed.
Okay.
So at least the blond had not conducted any experiments with his power like Izaya had.
"Can you do that with other people too?" After all, reading thoughts was an ability far superior to what Izaya had acquired. The possibilities of usage would have been endless. As an informant he would have needed nothing more but a five minute small talk to find out everything he possibly needed. It really made his time stopping ability seem useless in comparison.
Shizuo on the other hand seemed to not even grasp what kind of rare gift he had received.
"I don't think so, no idea," he shrugged. Izaya felt the immediate need to facepalm.
"Care to try?"
A quizzical expression was all he faced.
"How?"
Good question.
Stopping time was a little more straightforward. Izaya just needed to look at an object he wanted to stop. It was easy to visualize and the result was expected. Catching thoughts on the other hand was too intangible.
"No idea honestly." Izaya admitted, pushing himself up into a sitting position. "Maybe if you-" a soft frown crossed Izaya's expression and before he knew it an intense wave of vertigo stole the rest of his words.
Grasping his forehead Izaya tried to ignore the jabbing stabs to his temples.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
Fuck.
"Ah-" Shizuo blinked, rather guilty, as he paused, "I heard that."
Frown still in place it took Izaya a full minute to get that the brute was talking about his thoughts.
Groaning, he averted his gaze.
Great.
"This is going to be a hassle," he announced bitterly, while Shizuo moved.
"Wait," quick steps were taken as the blond made his way to the kitchen. Shizuo wouldn't exactly have needed to read Izaya's mind, to know that he was feeling worse than he was letting on. After all, he had been shot. Healing himself so quickly must have at least some sort of downside.
But something about actually hearing the genuine expression of distress just set the blond off more than usual.
Returning with a wet towel from the bathroom he gently pressed it against Izay's neck.
"Better?"
The cool touch made Izaya's hair stand on ends- but it felt good. Slowly but surely he felt the dizziness dissipate.
Having turned mute Izaya merely glanced at Shizuo with the slightest hint of displeasure.
"What?" Shizuo asked.
Izaya's glance trailed off. "I'm not too fond of this ability."
Shizuo paused.
His expression softened.
"I am." he replied, "That way you can't pretend you are fine when you aren't."
The truth of those words struck Izaya harder then he would have liked them to.
A frown carved into his expression as his teeth grit.
"And why would you even-"
Care.
That had been the word daring to pass his lips, but he swallowed it down like a ball of sharp needles.
"Forget it." What point was there to ask? Why torment himself with the knowledge of just how little fucks Shizuo actually gave about him?
It was only after a few seconds of silence that Izaya noticed the oddity of it.
Raising his eyes to Shizuo's, he faced a very surprised expression.
And in his mind it clicked.
"Izaya-"
No. No way-
"Goddamnit, stop it." Shizuo had heard what he had thought. "What kind of bullshit is this? I didn't allow you to read my mind, I didn't-"
Anger drove his words, only the touch of Shizuo's hand on his wrist cut them short.
It wasn't harsh, it was gentle.
Shizuo's mind was all over the place- and a question was burning on his lips just so hot he was afraid it might sear if not spoken.
"Izaya, are those appointments really just appointments for you?"
Like a truck, the question hit Izaya straight.
Shizuo had caught on. Of course, with his real thoughts being spoiled like this there was no way he wasn't going to realize.
Izaya felt caught.
Suffocated.
The hand around his wrist felt like iron pinning him down.
He didn't need Shizuo to tell him to get his feelings in check.
To piss off.
To shut up.
Izaya knew he hated him.
Shizuo only did this out of a weird sense of obligation. All of this.
Because he had promised
because-
He blurted out.
"Of course!"
Not.
Shizuo's eyes widened- in surprise and Izaya's throat constricted.
No. Not again-
This was the worst day of his life
"Let me go, Shizu-chan-" Izaya struggled, tried to get that hand off him-
"Do you even want me to?"
Wow.
Did Shizuo really say that just now?
Desperation drove Izaya's mind as he tore himself away from the blond.
He was making fun of him.
"Oh wow, great, do continue, just make fun of me for being so stupid." he barked, and Shizuo's expression fell.
What?
"Izaya-" but Izaya was far beyond listening. He was ludicrous, angry, obviously hurt-
"Don't give me this bullshit, why are you even looking at me that way? Why do you even care? Just leave me alone! Fuck off, get out of my head, just-" and suddenly Izaya's voice just cracked. Right at the end.
And Shizuo realized what was going on.
Suddenly everything made sense. The way Izaya acted on the streets, the way he got angry at him for nothing, those taunts-
Izaya thought-
Rushing forward in a quick motion Shizuo caught Izaya's wrist just as he was about to go for the door.
Forcefully turned Izaya yelped, before finding himself in the blond's arms. A kiss merged their lips like a butterfly's wings that touched the first flower of spring.
Surprise displayed on Izaya face and Shizuo took the chance to speak.
"Seems you really don't know what you are doing to me," he started, forehead against forehead as he looked Izaya into the eyes. "And I thought you were so smart."
Izaya was confused.
"What?"
Just.
What.
He had expected laughter, maybe even anger, disgust- he had expected Shizuo to tell him off- anything really.
But this-
Didn't this mean-
His eyes widened as his chest rose with hope.
"You are joking."
"I'm not." Lowering his gaze Shizuo sighed as he let his forehead rest on Izaya's neck. Arms wrapped around the raven, tight and secure. "The moment I heard those news about you having been shot-" Shizuo paused. "I think my heart stopped beating right there. I thought you were dead-"
Izaya was stupefied.
"And that was a bad thing?"
"The worst?"
No way.
"You are joking right?"
"I'm not."
Ernesty met Izaya's eyes head on as he leant back. No. Shizuo wasn't joking. He had known the guy for too long to mistake an expression of truth. He was serious.
He-
"Since when- How even, you hate me, I know you do so-" Izaya tried, his mouth rambling words he wasn't even too sure of.
Shizuo smiled a tired smile.
"You know what's the worst?" he asked, and Izaya shook his head. "I think I never did."
No way.
Bubbles of happiness and an uncontrollable joy spread in Izaya's chest.
"Sure you were annoying the hell out of me, but-" Shizuo frowned, "But when I heard from that bastard what he was doing to you, I don't know, something just snapped in my mind."
"You mean Hachiro?"
The name alone caused Shizuo's blood to boil.
"Just thinking about what he did to you makes me want to kill him."
Izaya swallowed, a last attempt of giving Shizuo a chance to back out of this again was offered on a silver plate.
"Because it's not right?" Izaya joked- ready for Shizuo to take the bait, to tell him he was wrong. Tell Izaya that he was misunderstanding something, that this wasn't what Izaya thought it was.
But suddenly Shizuo just looked up.
Those eyes were so dangerous, so full of desire, of love of-
"Because you are mine."
Ah.
Something inside Izaya stirred at that.
Shizuo quickly raised a hand in a childlike fashion, covering his mouth as though he had used a bad word that he was forbidden to say.
"Sorry, that was a little-"
No.
This was exactly what Izaya needed to hear.
No word was spoken as the raven lunged forward. The hem of Shizuo's shirt was pulled and their lips merged in a passionate kiss.
It was hot. It was long.
Just as the warmth spreading in Izaya's chest. It was a funny feeling- nothing he felt so far had been quite like it.
A feeling of relief, happiness, desire, longing, safety- Before Izaya knew it his back met the wall and Shizuo was at his clothes.
A picture went flying off a shelf. In a quick moment of awareness Izaya stopped time to catch it midair. But all thoughts were disregarded as the blond's hands dipped underneath his shirt.
Fuck the picture.
Hands grasped Izaya's thighs. He was lifted, carried- lips searched for each other in unmistakable desire.
Eyes of honey brown turned dark and pillows of white cushioned Izaya's fall as they stumbled into Shizuo's bed.
Quickly sitting up Izaya fished for Shizuo's shirt. Button after button became undone.
It was for a brief second that Izaya's hands stilled and he caught his breath.
Soft hints of drowsiness called to his immediate attention and he cursed the police for having shot him.
Shizuo's eyes turned from black to gold almost immediately.
"Are you okay?" Izaya quickly nodded as his hand reached through Shizuo's hair.
His eyes were lid, looking at Shizuo's lips only as he whispered.
"Don't stop."
And Shizuo did as ordered. Albeit gentler. Slower.
Izaya couldn't find himself complaining when those hands trailed along his lower back. His waist.
Thighs.
The air around them felt hot. Before Izaya knew it Shizuo leant downwards. Hair of blond tickled his skin as Shizuo trailed kisses along his inner thigh. It caused pleasant goosebumps to travel down his skin.
Izaya was enjoying the action very much, but it wasn't quite what he had in mind.
"Izaya-" a warning tone laid in Shizuo's voice as Izaya pushed the blond up only to slip onto his lap. Underwear discarded somewhere in the process he made it a point to settle Shizuo's dick right between his cheeks.
"What? Don't want to?" he questioned softly, meeting a battle of golden and black.
Arms were wrapped around Izaya's body tight and secure.
"I just don't want you to pass out on me or something. You only just healed up," Shizuo reminded, the care in his words only turning Izaya on so much more.
"I'm just a little drowsy. I can handle that. Besides-" Izaya chuckled, "You will catch me if I fall, no?"
And something in Shizuo just screamed at that.
Yes.
Always.
"Of course-"
And with that Izaya reached for his dick. Guiding it softly he aligned it.
He felt as though it had been ages since they last fucked and yet it was very apparent that their last session had been a mere two days ago as Shizuo's dick slid inside.
A shudder ruptured through Izaya and his hands searched for hold on Shizuo's shoulders.
Eyes met and desire sparked-
"Shizu-chan- feels good." Shizuo swallowed hard at that.
"Fuck you are too hot you know that?" As if having received a command the blond's dick slipped deeper.
"Ah-!" Izaya spasmed, "And you- too huge-" Shizuo was panting.
"Fuck-" All his concentration laid on control. Too strong was the desire to push the flea's hips down, too tempting the idea to pin Izaya to the bed and fuck him senseless right here right now.
Izaya's body spasmed as he struggled to take him all in.
"Just to make sure, this is no appointment, right?" Shizuo questioned, taking his mind off destructive ideas.
Izaya chuckled softly. "While I do wonder whether this will actually speed up my recovery I can assure you it's not." and then Izaya paused for just a moment.
Shizuo did as well, and their eyes met. Sincerity laid in them as Izaya spoke with a bitter smile. "I'm not even sure when the last time was that I considered it as one."
Fuck.
"Izaya-" Shizuo thrust inside. Izaya's head met his shoulder-
"Hngh- Shizu-chah!" Too good-
Too hot-
All attempts to hold back were discarded as the blond moved.
Harder.
Faster.
Shizuo's hands cupped Izaya's ass, his cheeks were spread, only for his dick to sink in so much deeper. Moans penetrated Shizuo's ears and his stomach tightened as he fought his release.
"Izaya-" Out of breath the raven leant up and caught Shizuo's lips in a kiss.
Moans were swallowed, skin slapped against skin-
Nails reaked down Shizuo's back.
"Shizu-chan-"
Hard, the blond's body ruptured as he spilled himself inside Izaya. A low moan escaped Izaya's lips at the feeling of being filled and a similar substance decorated Shizuo's chest within seconds.
Pants filled the air as both caught their breath.
"Are you okay?" Shizuo was the first to speak as the darkness made room for the color of gold once more.
But Izaya didn't answer right away. His ears rang and a soft hint of dizziness overwhelmed him for just a moment.
"Izaya-" Worry layered thick in Shizuo's voice.
"I'm fine I'm fine-" Izaya quickly mumbled, doing his best to dismiss the dizzy spell. "Let me catch my breath a little." He chuckled. "You can't just fuck the living daylights out of me and then expect an immediate response."
Shizuo snorted. He felt a bit abashed by the way Izaya put it, but he was glad. Izaya was okay.
"Got it."
Izaya was his.
Unbelievable happiness washed over the blond as he let his hand trail to Izaya's face. A strain of hair stuck oddly to his forehead and Shizuo did it a favor and moved it to where it belonged.
It was a motion so gentle that if someone had told Izaya about it a few days earlier he would have called him a maniac.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
"This is so crazy," he mumbled softly, "I mean you used to hate me, I hated you too and this wasn't how this was supposed to go and-"
A soft kiss to the forehead shut him up.
"You talk too much." Shizuo inforned and Izaya sighed content as he let his head lean against Shizuo's chest.
"Maybe." Shizuo's skin felt hot against his own. The shirt Shizuo had used to dress Izaya with was still dangling loosely from his frame.
Due to some miracle Izaya had somehow managed to stain only the blond's shirt. He would need to change or people might ask questions.
Well… or they might find him.
Coming down from the high that was fuelled by both, his post orgasmic state as well as happiness stemming from Shizuo's confession, Izaya's mind grew cold as he faced reality.
He was on the run.
The police were still looking for him, his face had been on the news too.
Expression turning gloomy the raven sighed.
"I have to move-" Slipping from the blond's lap, Izaya made an effort to take his distance from the blond.
"To the kitchen?" Shizuo asked, confused, not quite getting what the flea was talking about.
Izaya sighed.
"No, from your place."
Suddenly there were hands grasping Izaya's wrists left and right. Before he knew it the raven found himself on his back, pinned to the bed.
"No, you aren't." Shizuo stated, his expression serious.
"Woah, kinky." Izaya joked.
"I just know what you are capable of." Shizuo shrugged.
"Shizu-chan I have to, they are looking for me. I'm not interested in spending my entire life on the run."
Clicking his tongue Shizuo frowned.
"What are you going to do?"
"Convince them of the opposite."
"How?"
Izaya shrugged, as if he had not a care on the world.
"I will think of something." Shizuo shook his head. His expression was dead serious.
"Until you thought of something good you will stay."
A pout crossed Izaya's expression. But misschief quickly replaced umit as he raised his leg.
"Well it's not like I could leave like this," he grinned, setting that thigh down on Shizuo's shoulder.
To Izaya's delight Shizuo's eyes grew dark almost instantly.
"Shizu-chan I'm afraid I'm missing some pants."
Shizuo knew Izaya was very much aware how dangerously seductive he was.
And hell those devilishly long legs made it really hard to resist.
"I will get you some," he announced promptly. Izaya was just trying to throw him off guard so he could sneak away somehow.
"Will you help me put them on?" Izaya whispered, leaning up so he was just above Shizuo's ear.
"Izaya-" Shizuo warned.
"Your eyes are black." Izaya inforned with a chuckle, and Shizuo couldn't help but smile.
"Is that so? Have you looked in a mirror?"
A bit abashed, Izaya glanced to the side. The glass reflection of the window might not have served as the best mirror, but it was sufficient in showing Izaya a very vibrant color of purple.
Pushing himself off the bed Izaya sighed as he made his way to the living room.
"Shizu-chan I can't just stay here, they will look for me and eventually turn up at your house." Eyes glanced around as he searched for his coat- and some pants.
"I won't let them in." Shizuo announced stubbornly, only causing Izaya to roll his eyes.
"That's not how it works. You can't just-" And suddenly Izaya paused.
His sight had fallen onto the picture that they had almost dropped to the ground.
It was flying.
Midair.
As if having noticed it was being noticed it suddenly unfroze and fell.
A mischievous glance drew across Izaya's expression as he turned to face the blond.
"I have an idea."
