Tick toc. Tic toc. It was relentless.

It bled in his ears for ages, never ending. Never stopping. Izaya sighed to himself, sat up, looked to the digital clock on his bed side, 3:45. He hadn't even slept yet. Shizuo was away in dreamland snoring like a god damn idiot, and here Izaya sat, staring at his soon to be finance. Sena crawled over to him and he stroked her ear softly and lovingly. She pawed at his hoodie and he lay down on the bed while she crawled onto his face.

He turned to stare at Shizuo, his chest rising and falling so peacefully. Nothing mattered to him. Not the damn ticking, not the fact they were going to marry tomorrow. Nothing mattered at all. Izaya sat up once again and swivelled out of bed and went to get some sleeping tablets. He went into the medicine cabinet, pulled them out, poured a handful into his mouth and swallowed them dry. He hissed and returned back to bed.

4:39

Izaya was still awake and the more he lay awake the more he thought. The more he thought the more he scared himself. He got up once again and headed down stairs with Sena on his trail. He took a seat on the couch and grabbed his phone. He punched in some numbers in the dark and waited for the ring.

"Who the fuck is this?" It was Hiroshi. Izaya rolled his eyes at his dark tone.

"Get your wife. I need to talk to her," Izaya whispered as he felt the need to, but he doubted his family would't mind at all. His family. It was strange. He had a family. He had his children, he had a lover. His life was so close to being complete. All he needed was to marry the man he loved and he'd be alright.

"She's asleep," Hiroshi whispered back to him. There was no need to play games. Izaya hung up and ran again. When Hiroshi would pick up. He'd hang up and keep calling until Rei went to the phone to answer.

"What do you want?"

"I need you," he sobbed softly into the phone. He heard rushing on the phone and Hiroshi asking where his wife was going. She responded with Izaya's and she hung up throwing the phone on the bed by the sound of it. Izaya sobbed softly into Sena who had joined him on the couch by this point.

The door opened softly and gently and he saw Rei, wearing a silk dress with her hair low and in tugs. She rushed over to Izaya and held him softly as he cried softly on her shoulder. She remained silent for the longest part, just letting him to cool down. He lay on the couch and she lay beside him, holding him as he stared at the celing.

"I'm marrying today. What...if it goes wrong. I don't want to lose him. I can't look after them myself. What do I do?" Izaya heard murmuring from the baby radio and knew that the twins (Izaya's set) were up. Rei followed him up the stairs and into the nursery where they slept. Asumi was standing up and was reaching forward to be held. Rei grabbed her and changed her nappy while Izaya lifted Takeshi and took his mask off. He picked him up and got him changed as well into a clean nappy and picked up the smaller oxygen mask and headed down stairs.

"You are a good mother," Rei said absently, while watching Izaya set Takeshi on the ground and went to make them their bottles. She sat Asumi down and she waddled around the room. Takeshi rolled onto his stomach and stood up, holding onto the couch for support. Izaya smiled happily, his son held the couch and was being so much more independent. He asked if Rei could continue the bottles while he saw to Takeshi. He walked over to the child and held his hands and pulled him away from the couch. He stood up, fine, his hips wiggling to keep himself balanced while Izaya wrapped his arms around him, not touching, just close enough to catch him.

He stood on his own and laughed happily and was then given his bottle by Rei. He walked over to his mother, a little weak and handed it to Izaya who took the bottle and his son and sat on the couch and helped him to drink.

...

His alarm was the first thing he heard, the second was a groan from a female. Shizuo sat up in shock and turned to see that their was a blonde mass of hair where Izaya should be. He poked at the female, his heart racing, assuming that he had slept with her. Slyly, he ran a hand to his boxers and found that he was still dressed. So he never slept with her. But he still felt guilty for her to be sleeping next to him.

"Shizuo. Can you turn that alarm off. I'm trying to sleep dear," that pissed him off. This random person was asking to go back to sleep. He was marrying today. He switched the alarm off as it's shrieking in his ear was just to much to bare. He turned it off then heard shuffling under the covers and saw that the female was Rei.

She smiled up to him then sat up slowly, stretching her arms up while cracking her back. She was topless and Shizuo couldn't help but stare at her breasts. He had seen them before in high school but they were different now. A lot firmer.

"You are marrying. Stop staring," she hit him playfully which caused Shizuo to turn round, embarressed from being caught staring. "Izaya left early. The twins, are still here. Oh, I mean his sisters," she had to correct herself as there was two sets of twins. "He's at aunties with your children. Shinra is coming soon, so get showered and I'll make breakfast," she got up, wearing only her pants and slipped on her night dress that she threw on the ground.

Shizuo sighed and lay back down and picked his phone up and called Izaya. When the informant picked up, he sounded groggy and tired, "Hey. What's up?"

"Why's Rei in my bed and why aren't you?" Shizuo turned to look at the empty space on the bed where his soon to be husband should be lying. He absently brushed that side of the bed, missing the warmth of his soon to be husband.

"I called Rei earlier and asked her to come over. She was quite tired from last night so I said she could sleep in my bed," Shizuo lay on his back and looked to the ceiling.

"Your bed?" He didn't like the sound of that. It was their house now. Not just Izaya's.

"No. I mean my half of the bed. That half is considered my bed," Shizuo nodded slowly despite Izaya won't be able to see him. He ran his fingers through his hairs mindlessly. He felt so much more relieved to know that Izaya was okay.

"I though I slept with a stripper. It freaked me out," Shizou spoke honestly.

"Was there a stripper at your party?"

"Shit! Erm yeah there was," Izaya chuckled softly at his fiancee cursing.

"I'm not bothered. There was a stripper at mine. I didn't touch her though,"

"I did. Well I pushed her away in the nicest way. I only want a lap dance from you," he wasn't even embarrassed from saying something so cheesy. He meant it. He knew he was going to say it.

"Well we'll see about it," Izaya yawned out. "Alright. I'm going to go. I'll see you at the alter," Shizuo hung up and made his way into the bathroom for a shower...

...

The cathedral where the wedding was taking place was a very large and extravagant. The interior was fairly old which added to it's appeal so much. The room where the alter was very extravagant.

The seats were in rows of eight, where the fourth and fifth seats were separated by a long white carpet. The seats were white with little roses on the back. There were candles down the isle with a small glass covering to stop children from touching and if they were to be knocked over won't set the place on fire.

At the alter stood a stand with a book, next to it was a minister, who wore a red gown, with a darker shade of red that went over her slender shoulders with crosses at the bottom. She had blonde hair and had it tied up in a bun with a few hairs falling lose.

In front of her there were some witness walking in, one of them being Shizuo. Hanako was already there, wearing a red dress that stopped passed her knees. Next to her were her sister and her late husbands brother while she had her clasped together in prayer and was muttering to someone. Sitting on Hiroko and Sanji's knee were his children. Asumi was in a red dress with red little shoes while Takeshi was in a suit with a red dress shirt and wore little black shoes. He also had his mask over his face.

Shizuo walked over to his children and knelt in front of them and kissed them on the head, "I missed you," he said softly to them. Hiroko looked to the male on the ground and let a small smile.

"You look stunning. I'd marry you if I wasn't already," She laughed softly and earned a nudge in the ribs from her husband. She laughed again and reached across to kiss her husbands mouth before looking down at the small boy she was holding.

"He looks a lot like his daddy," she said with a large smile

"No, I think he looks like Izaya," Shizuo replied back, only to recieve a small gasp and apology.

"Oh sorry, I meant him. What's Izaya's title if you are daddy?" She asked confused.

"Izaya's mummy," he explained while rubbing his sons cheek softly. "He's gorgeous. Even if he wears this mask," Hiroko laughed softly nodding her head. "When did you guys arrive?"

"Well Hanako phoned saying that she had to console Izaya an-"

"What's wrong with Izaya?" Why did he need to be consoled?" Butterflies hatched from within his stomach and were slowly breaking free.

"He's just nervous. Nothing to get scared over. He's just really nervous," Shizuo had his phone out and quickly dialled for Izaya while more people walked in. Shizuo sat in front of his children. It was a while until Izaya picked up.

"Are you okay?"

"Why are you asking?" Izaya asked back. "Well honestly no. I didn't sleep last night, I have puked so many times already and I'm certain the sleeping pills have suddenly kicked in. Are you alright?" Shizuo scoffed and shook his head.

"No. You aren't. Want me to come see you,"

"Yes. But it's bad luck to see your bride so don't look at me at all," Izaya chuckled softly.

"I love you," Shizuo hung up after he spoke and saw dirty glares from Hiroko and Sanji. He put his phone in his pocket and watched as Izaya's sisters walked over to him and took his hand.

"You've been summoned from a sick fiancee," Shizuo looked to Izaya's aunties.

"That was Izaya I was on the phone to. Will you be okay with the twins?" The two nodded with a sense of relief washed on their face. Miaru took his hand and led him to where Izaya was. The halls were pretty dull comapred to where everything was going down.

Izaya loved the building because of it's history, while Shizuo couldn't care less about the room, he just wanted Izaya. The twins put a blindfold over his eyes and directed him into the room. He heard Izaya make a noise and it sounded like he was being sick somewhere close by, "Izaya," he called out and was led over to a sofa from what he could tell and a hand tugged him down onto the couch.

"They blindfolded me too," Izaya chuckled touching the hand on his head and following it back to find Shizuo's chest. Izaya sat up and pulled Shizuo onto the couch and rested his head against his shoulder. "Did you see Asumi and Takeshi?"

Shizuo heard shuffling around and it freaked him out a bit, "Yeah, they are with Hiroko and Sanji. They looked cute. We didn't buy them those outfits, who did?"

"My mum did. They looked so nice and had said that she had found a nice couple of outfits for them," They sat in silence for a while, both of them enjoying the company. Just being able to hold the other brought a sense of relief to the two. "I'm going to nap for a little while. Go be with the twins. We'll do this in half an hour," Shizuo kissed his forehead, after finding it.

Rei took a hold of Shizuo and led him out. He pulled the blindfold off and let out a deep sigh. He walked back into the hall and took a seat on one of the seats, "Daaaa," Shizuo turned to see Takeshi with his arms out. The blonde male picked his son up and gave him a small cuddle.

"Mummy is napping. He'll be out in about half an hour," he explained to the small child. "He was so nervous that he couldn't sleep," Takeshi glanced away then looked back to his daddy and rested his head on his shoulder.

Shizuo saw a little bag-pack on his back. He opened it up to see a small oxygen tank inside. He frowned and turned back to his son and kissed his forehead. Takeshi picked up a book from his carrier bag and gave it to his daddy.

"The little princess?" Shizuo opened the book and sat his son comfortably on his lap and began to read. Asumi turned and listened into her daddy reading.

After half an hour, Rei walked in and rushed to Shizuo, "Your bride is waiting. Come on," She picked up Takeshi and put the book away and Asumi followed on behind. Shizuo stood up and told the female minister that they were ready. She nodded her head and put an arm on Shizuo's arms.

"Nervous?"

"Extremely,"

The doors opened and Shizuo was sure his stomach was flipping. Izaya walked in with the male from yesterday, what was his name again. Shiki. They were holding hands comfortably and for some reason, he was beyond jealous, despite Izaya walking towards him, to be with him forever. Izaya smiled warmly at him. He stopped for a second cocked his head.

Shizuo wore a black suit with a red shirt underneath. His hair was gelled to the side and Izaya was just blown away by how gorgeous he was. Shizuo stared back at Izaya, he wore a white suit with a red shirt underneath. Shizuo wanted him now more than ever. He wanted to take him right now and he was pretty sure that when they were to kiss, he wasn't going to be able to stop.

Izaya continued to walk and then Shizuo spotted Takeshi and Rei walking behind with Izaya's sisters. Shizuo couldn't believe that his little boy was walking, he felt like he needed to take the camera out and record him doing so. Takeshi still had his backpack on and had something in his hand.

He was also holding Asumi's hand and from the looks of it, she was holding him steady. He glanced round the room seeing murmurs from the crowd. He looked to his mother who gave him a warm smile and his father gave him a thumbs up. Kasuka was watching expressionlessly but he was proud.

Shizuo turned back round to see Izaya walk closer and stood in front of Shizuo. Miaru and Kururi separated, taking a smaller twin each, "Hey," Shizuo murmured softly.

"Hello," Izaya turned to the minister with a smile on his face.

"Nothing makes god happier when two people," the minister stopped for a second, "any two people, come together in love. Friends, family we are gathered here today to join Izaya Orihara and Shizuo Heiwajima in holy matrimony. Do you, Shizuo Heiwajima, take thee, Izaya Orihara, to be your wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do yous part?"

"I do," Shizuo smiled back at Izaya who couldn't help but smile brightly.

"And do you, Izaya Orihara, take thee, Shizuo Heiwajima, to be your wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do yous part?"

"I do,"

"I believe the two have vows for each other," She stepped back and let the spotline fall onto Shizuo.

"Izaya..." He looked into his eyes, "I had so much trouble writing this...I couldn't find the words to say, I couldn't say that I fell in love with you at first sight, as we all know that is far from the truth," Izaya let out a small giggle, "All I want to say is that, as for as long as you stay by my side I promise to love you. I promise to cherish you until we die. I promise that I won't try to kill you if you want more children," Izaya chuckled while tears ran down his cheek. Not everybody in the audience was aware that Izaya had given birth so he had to be vague about that detail, "I promise that until the day I die, I will remain by your side. I love you Izaya," Shizuo gave a warm smile to Izaya who had tears trailing down his cheek.

Izaya opened his mouth to speak but tears rushed down his cheek, "Shizuo...I...I," he was crying harder, "I never let-" he cried even harder, barely audible, "let any-" he was crying so much that he couldn't speak at all and hid himself in Shizuo's chest. Everyone let out awes as he cried hard. "I have my vows...I want to say them but I can't stop crying," Shizuo ran his hands through his hair.

"It is okay dear...who has the ring," Miaru and Kururi pushed the twins forward and told them to give the thing they were holding to mummy or daddy. The walked over and handed over the ring with a smile. They then rushed back to their aunties. For Takeshi he sat down as it was too much effort to stand.

Shizuo slipped the ring onto Izaya's finger and Izaya did the same back, "I now pronounce you husband and husband, you may kiss your partner," Shizuo pulled Izaya in close and gave him a long and hard kiss on the lips. For some people, it was the first time they saw them being so intimate. Izaya wrapped his arms around the males shoulders and rested his head against his shoulder.

"I love you too," Izaya whispered back. Rei rushed over to Izaya and gave him a tissue to wipe his eyes. He laughed softly as he cried.

"You cried harder than me," she laughed softly. Shizuo held Izaya's hand and rubbed his ring finger softly. Shinra walked over to Shizuo and pat him on the back.

"I'm so proud of you guys," He smiled at them. Shizuo looked to his kids who were being held by Miaru and Kururi.

"Izaya..." Shizuo pushed Izaya to somewhere quieter. "Do you have something to tell me," the blonde whispered.

"I will say the vows...later. I will say them, alright...I'm sorry I couldn't," Shizuo shook his head softly.

"I found a pregnancy test in the bin," Shizuo whispered to him.

"We haven't had sex since new years. Did you think it was mine?" Izaya asked almost hurt.

"I kind of just assumed to be honest, since it was in our bin," Shizuo scratched the back of his head, knowing that it was stupid to assume Izaya. Of course they haven't had sex since new years.

"No...did you think I was cheating on you," Izaya let out a snarl.

"What! No! I just saw it and thought of us," Shizup spoke honestly, feeling guilty that Izaya assumed he thought that way.

"It's Rei's...alright. She's pregnant," Izaya whispered to his newly appointed husband.

"What?"

"Are you disappointed," Izaya asked taking his hand and tugging Shizuo closer to him and wrapping his arms around his shoulders but kept their distance.

"Kind of," Shizuo pulled him on closer until their lips were nearly touching.

"Want to have sex today. It's our wedding and you deserve it," Shizuo nodded his head like a little child. Izaya went onto his toes to kiss his lips. A few people awed as they kissed. A man walked over to them and told them to sign some papers.

They wrote their names out and signed it then turned to each other. There was a sofa outside and Izaya pulled him to the couch and they kissed lovingly. Izaya sat on Shizuo's lap as they made out, their tongues brushing against the other.

Someone coughed behind them and he looked to see Izaya's mother holding a crying Takeshi, "Someone missed his mummy?"

"Baby, I'm here. I'm sorry, Daddy and I were just having a moment," he held the boy in his arms as he cried hard. Shizuo stood up and headed back inside to talk to Rei. He walked behind her and whispered into her ear.

"Congradulations. Izaya told me," He walked on to find Asumi playing with Ryuonoske on the steps. She was muttering to him about something and he just nodded his head. He was three years old and looked very much like Sabaru. The said male sat there on his own watching the two kids. "What did you tell Erika and Walker?" Shizuo asked sitting on the other side of the kids.

"Going to a friends wedding," Sabaru said softly watching his son carefully. "They were asking who but we said it was one of my cousins," Saburu explained. Shizuo nodded his head. "When was the last time you got laid?"

"Hogmanay," Shizuo spoke softly and watched as Izaya walked in with a sleeping Takeshi in his arms. Izaya let out a small groan and touched his back. He walked over to Shizuo and sat down the sleeping Takeshi.

"Sweetheart. Bad news, my back is suddenly killing me. I don't think-" Shizuo sighed heavily, "I know I said, but...Shizuo don't look too sad. I'm sorry," he rested his head against Shizuo's shoulder.

"Turn round," Izaya did as he was told and turned away and felt Shizuo's large hands roam down his back. He went to the spine and Izaya let out a small gasp in pain, causing everyone to turn their heads. Shizuo continued to run his hands down the males back.

The minister walked over to Izaya, "Can I ask if you can clear out now. We have another wedding coming," Izaya nodded and got to his feet though he moaned out in pain once again.

"Guys...we are going to the reception. It's at the new building," Izaya spoke and walked out holding Shizuo's hand and the baby twins held the older set of twins. More pictures were taken as they left holding hand in hand. They got into a nice cars on their own.

"Where to?" The driver asked.

"Well the new building but can I suggest the Shinbushi flats," The driver nodder his head and the two headed home. Shizuo stared at Izaya as they drove away. He reached for his hands and their fingers linked. "Stuff it," Izaya hissed to himself. He looked to Shizuo with a warm smile and shook his head.

"Huh?" Shizuo pulled away confused. What was he stuffing? Sometimes he still worried about Izaya. He couldn't tell what he was up too.

"My back. I want you to take me. You take me to bed and fuck the shit out of me. We are married now and my husband deserve to have sex with his...wife on their wedding day and besides the twins will be alright," Izaya smiled widely. He looked to the driver who looked into the back mirror shaking his head.

"Not in here," he said sternly. Izaya laughed nodding his head slowly.

"Wasn't planning on it," he stopped off and the bottom of their flat and the two rushed away, telling the driver they will call him when it is time for them to be done. Izaya despite his back hurting pulled Shizuo into the lift and pinned him to the wall. They were already trying to strip each other while their lips mashed together.

The door opened and the two had have their shirts un-buttoned and their jackets off. Izaya grabbed their discarded jackets and threw them into the apartment while trying to strip his husband off his shirt. Shizuo lifted him up and Izaya wrapped his legs around his waist.

"Bedroom or couch?" Izaya judged the distance between both. While the couch was in touching distance, his back still hurt and needed the most comfort.

"Bedroom," Izaya jumped off Shizuo and ran to his bed, stripping himself. Shizuo followed after him and grabbed him close and kissed him hungrier than usual. Shizuo pulled down Izaya's boxers and kissed his jaw softly.

"We're married, we're really married," Izaya laughed as Shizuo spoke softly into his neck. His fingers reached up and stroked his hair, minding the way it looked so good, with the side part. "I never imagined that I would be marri-" Izaya hissed as his phone went off and went to answer it. He mouthed that it was his mother.

"Hello mother,"

"Where are you?" She screamed over the phone. Izaya touched Shizuo's lips softly and slipped his finger into his mouth and let Shizuo suck on them.

"We went home as I wanted a nap," he explained to his mother missing out the tiny detail that he also wanted sex. He could hear his mother on the end of the phone telling Rei of the news and her response was 'as well as a quick fuck. Give me the phone,'

Izaya heard rustling as the phone was handed over and he pulled his finger out of Shizuo's mouth and his hand traveled down to his puckered hole where he inserted one finger slowly. Shizuo gasped in surprise and held Izaya's phone as the male went to unbuckling his trousers.

"Izaya, should I make this quick," Rei asked over the phone.

"Yes."

"Don't worry about your kids. They are in safe hands. Take as long as you need. It's your day and I know you need a nap and some sex," Rei laughed softly.

"You done?"

"Yes," the answer was short, just what Izaya wanted right now from her.

Izaya hung up and threw his phone away, "Come to me,"

...

Izaya woke up feeling awfully refreshed despite an agonising ass. He sat up slowly to find that he was alone in the bed. He pulled the covers away and trudged into the hall, "Shizuo?" He called out. He found the male sitting on the couch, watching TV. He was fully dressed this time, like they had never done such dirty things.

"I was just about to wake you. Go get dressed," Izaya nodded and pulled his clothes back on. They were still neat and un crumpled thankfully. He walked down stairs and Shizuo helped him with his jacket. "I called for the driver, let's go," Shizuo led Izaya out and down to the bottom floor.

They arrived at the reception five hours after leaving the ceremony. They held each others hand as they walked in. The hall was a basic hall but the their was a large dance floor at the top end where the band was on top of the stage. The tables were circular and had a white cloth over them. They had eight people per table.

At one table there was two high chairs instead of actual chairs, Izaya figured that was where his children were going to sit. He found his kids on the dance floor with Ryuunosuke. The oldest male was holding Asumi's hand while jumping up and down. Takeshi sat on the floor further away from the jumping pair. Izaya walked over and sat behind his son and picked him up. He let out a scream and turned to see his mother smiling.

"Hey baby. Did you miss me," Takeshi turned round in his mothers arms and gave hi, a large hug, his head resting on Izaya's shoulder. A few people turned round to see Izaya and let out a small gasp and rushed over to see him.

"Where did you go?" His uncle asked.

"We went home for a nap. I didn't sleep at all last night, so I was tired," Izaya explained with a small yawn.

"Where's your husband?" Sanji asked looking round the room.

"I don't know," Izaya said honestly. He walked away with Takeshi but stopped when his back began to burn. He dropped Takeshi but managed to catch him before he fell.

"Go find your aunties...I'll be right back," Izaya set him down softly then rushed out, grabbing Shizuo who was in the hallway and brought him into the bathroom to cry. The small raven pulled him into the toilet and wrapped his arms around him as he cried out softy.

"W-What happened?" Izaya nuzzled his head into Shizuo's chest.

"I dropped Takeshi," he cried harder.

"Is he alright?"

"I managed to catch him, he's not hurt," Shizuo nodded his head and held the male closer as he cried. Shinra walked into the bathroom to use the toilet and stopped when he saw the two embracing. Shinra watched as Izaya cried and walked over to his two best friends.

The two turned to see Shinra smile, "I hope these are tears of happiness," Izaya nodded his head slowly, despite lying. "Good. Now come on. You are missing your own wedding," Shinra pulled them both out and into the hall before rushing back to the toilet. Izaya made his way to his seat and felt Shizuo wrap his arm around his back and was softly stroking his spine.

The night passed quickly, and it was now time for Izaya to say is vows to Shizuo, "Shizuo," Izaya took a large deep breath as he stood on the stage facing the crowd and the audience, "I never let anyone get close to me," his voice quivered but he stayed strong, "I never wanted to feel pain and I lived behind the facade that I was a god, that I loved humans...," Izaya watched as Takeshi crawled over to him and demanded up. Izaya shook his head as his back was in agony. "Though I always had this one dream...that I would find this nice girl, we'd marry and have kids and grow old together...apart from a few minor detail changes you are allowing me to live out my wildest dream. All of my fondest memories have something to do with you, so thank you, I love you so much," Shizuo couldn't help but tear up at Izaya's words. He stood up and marched over to him and gave him a deep kiss on the lips. Everyone cheered and applauded as the two males kissed.

...

Hello. Do you remember me? Hiya. Yeah sorry for not updating in ages (for this story) I lose inspiration and end up writing a million one shots. Not kidding.

So...yeah...leave a review.
