Shizuo sighed. ''It's been a year since there's peace at this city. People should calm down already and appreciate it.'' Shizuo said morosely, having taking the alley route towards his apartment. He didn't like taking this walk too much simply because of the litters and rotten stenches from the alleys. It took them only a few minutes before Shizuo's building finally appeared. He went up the stairs to his place, shoving his hand in his pockets to feel his keys. ''Here were are, don't mess anything up.'' he said, unlocking his door. The blond walked in and settled down.

Izaya pouted. "Eh~? You think I'm little kid or what, Shizu-chan? When have I messed up anything here~?" He plopped himself on Shizuo's couch looking kinda huffy. "So? How do you plan to entertain me, protozoan?" Obviously sulking raven clicked his tongue. If there was anything what Izaya hated from bottom of his heart, it was boredom. It popped out in his mind that he should have stopped in his apartment and taken his laptop, because using Shizuo's old computer was almost physically painful for him. He sighed and his expression softened as he looked at Shizuo again, seeking some sort of escape from boredom.

''I know, but who knows what stuff you'll do here.'' The blonde joked as he went over to his room, taking off the vest he had on. He came back and saw Izaya looking as bored as ever on the couch. Shizuo let out a sigh as he sorted out some of the furnitures at the side, listening to Izaya's whining. ''We could play a game or something. Maybe watch TV.'' Shizuo said. ''I don't have much stuff which is exciting lke the ones you have at home, so quit complaning.'' he smirked as he placed his phone at the counter, next to the front entrace.

Izaya perked his ears. "What kind of game do you have in mind, Shizu-chan~?" It seemed like the idea made him interested. He looked around wondering whether Shizuo has some game console in his small apartment, since he never noticed any before. Well, they usually meet in Shinjuku, so it could be that informant haven't yet seen all the wonders Shizuo's hiding in his home. "Do you mean some video-game? Or cards?" He chuckled as idea popped out in his mind. "Stripping poker sounds like a good option to me~"

Shizuo shook his head and went to the cupboards he has in his living room. ''As a matter of fact, I do have some games in here somewhere.'' he softly breathed out, eyes scanning through the stuff he has there. There was indeed a game console from when Kasuka and him had when there were younger, but it didn't seem like it was plugged in before. He had a few poker cards stacked in boxers and finally, a small chess board hidden in there. ''Hmm, there's poker in here.'' he said, before shooting Izaya a look. ''Maybe you should see your yourself.''

Izaya got up from the sofa and went over to take a look at possible options how to spend the time. He whistled when his eyes stumbled upon the console. "Ara, ara~ Are you a secret gamer, Shizu-chan~?" He nudged the other playfully. "Is there any game you like to play? I bet it's some fighting game." Izaya scanned the games stored in the drawer. "Chess, eh~?" Raven shook his head in amusement. In the end he flailed his arms in the air and went to plop himself at the couch again. "Pick anything according to your tastes, Shizu-chan. I'll beat you in anything~" He pronounced with a confident smirk settled on his lips.

''I wasn't very good at them and when I'm mad I broke the controllers. We couldn't afford to get new ones.'' He said fondly, remembering his childhood. In the end, Shizuo took the chess board because he remembered how Izaya was a master at this game and he really wanted to see it for himself. ''Let's play this.'' he went back and smacked it at the coffee table, where it's chest pieces were all already in the little box provided. ''You're good at this game, aren't you? Well now's your chance to beat me.'' he didn't even bother to say that he could win. Taking a seat on the couch, he kept his eyes at Izaya.

"Oh, c'mon, you're making it too easy for me, Shizu-chan~ It won't even be fun~" Izaya whined when he saw the game Shizuo decided to bring, but the sparkles in his eyes gave away just how excited he was in fact. He loved playing chess, but since he was 'that infamous information broker', he rarely got to play with anybody. Online chess just wasn't so interesting, because he couldn't enjoy watching the reactions of his losing rivals that way. Without thinking he reached for black pieces and started to put them on the chessboard. "I'm surprised you can even play chess, Shizu-chan." He looked questioningly at blonde, while aligning his pieces to the perfect rows.

He sat on opposite of Izaya, watching how he stacked the pawns and pieces on the checkered board. ''Oh, I'm making it too easy, eh. We don't know that.'' He snickered and helped with the arrangements of the chess pieces, following how Izaya arranged them neatly. Shizuo smirked as Izaya expressed his surprise. ''I'm not a master of it. I've only played it once or twice during my childhood.'' As he says this, he already arranged his black pieces on the board. ''Is this how you do it?'' he questioned.

Izaya raised his brow at the blonde after he threw a glance at the chessboard. "Yeah, like that...But are you sure you can play it, Shizu-chan?" Informant smirked. "Should I tell you the rules~?" He purred teasingly, it was clear that he's mocking Shizuo. He just wondered in his head whether he can win before Shizuo takes one of his chess pieces. He decided to try the strategy with the checkmate in three turns, since he was quite sure blonde doesn't know it.

Shizuo thought hard for a while, rubbing his chin with his finger as he gazed at the chessboard. ''Dunno. Guess we'll find out after this.'' was Shizuo's coy response as he chortles a bit. ''What rules are there? Besides just eating killing everyone in the game?'' He said, exasperated, moving his pieces on the chessboard to avoid Izaya having his strategy effective. Shizuo hummed a tad as he made his move, moving the pawns at one direction.

Izaya snickered and tapped the top of his king with his ringed forefinger. "You need to put my King into checkmate, Shizu-chan. Before I do it to yours, of course~ It means your King has no way to run away from my pieces, when he's cornered." Informant shook his head in amusement as he wondered why Shizuo picked the game in which he didn't have any chance to win. Izaya had to smile appreciatively, when Shizuo managed to destroy his plan for quick checkmate. "Seems like you have more luck than brain, Shizu-chan." He chuckled, moving the pieces into the positions for his next strategy. "If you won't do anything now, I'll give you checkmate in four moves, Shizu-chan~" He chirped and challengingly looked at the blonde.

Shizuo could only smirk at Izaya's teasing remarks. ''Yeah, I know I have no chance of winning. I was aware of that since the beginning.'' he sighed as he carefully observed Izaya's every move on the board, tilting his head in thought. ''Didn't want to win anyway. We'll have fun either way, right?'' Shizuo looked up, returning Izaya's challenging smile as he once again made a move on the chessboard, earning a loud tap from the pieces. 'Am I even doing this right?' Shizuo wondered in his head, trying to formulate a plan to get to Izaya's king. He gulped, the pressure going against a chess master of sorts overwhelmed him.

"Nuuu, what's the point of playing a game where opponent already knows beforehand that he's not going to win?" Izaya pouted slightly, but he couldn't deny he had fun playing with Shizuo, so his slightly frowning expression turned into the one of excited chess player again. He made the move he wanted and with a smirk looked at Shizuo. "It's a check, Shizu-chan~ Will you save your king by some miracle~?"

Shizuo kinda expected that he would lose but it didn't faze him at all. ''I'm still thinking.'' Shizuo looked at the position of his king on the board and then he also made some few moves. Suddenly having luck on his side, Shizuo also managed to check one of Izaya's pieces. He blinked as he kept his eyes on it. ''Oh, look at that. I got one too.'' he mumbled, before smirking.

Izaya smirked when Shizuo miraculously managed to find that one and only escape route from this situation and thus his King has survived. "You really have instincts of beast, Shizu-chan." Informant shook his head amused. His newest strategy included sacrificing one of his knights and Shizuo fell for it like any newbie in chess would do. "Yeah, you got that one, Shizu-chan~" Izaya admitted with foxy smile and moved his bishop. "And I got your King. Checkmate~" Raven grinned. "What do I get for my win~?"

Shizuo just let everything happened, when Izaya defeated him so effortlessly in the game. A tight smile stretched across his face as he slumped back in his seat, grinning at Izaya. ''Fine, you win, flea.'' he admitted and thought for a bit. ''Okay. You can get anything you want from me, how does that sound?'' Shizuo said generously, feeling slightly playful today. Rather, he was far more than being a person he was before. Normally he would flip the chessboard over in anger. But this was Izaya.

"Oh~?" Smirk on Izaya's lips just became wider. "That's a dangerous statement Shizu-chan~" In one swift elegant movement he stood up from his seat and walked around the table to lean to Shizuo's face. "Hmm, what if I wanted you to let me buy you a new, big and comfortable bed~?" His playful eyes gave away that he doesn't mean it very seriously. "We both would profit from deal like that." His forefinger pokes Shizuo's chest and then slid down in very slow pace. "Or should I come up with some request that can be fulfilled immediately~?"

Shizuo's demeanour changed as Izaya mentioned buying him the bed, and he averted his gaze to the side, his lips trembling a bit. ''I don't know.. I already have everything I need here.'' he sighed and looked at Izaya. ''Besides, shouldn't we get a new place together? I don't think there's any use buying them separately.'' He continued as his breath hitched, Izaya's finger on his chest was dangerously making him 'excited.' He looked up to Izaya and smiled. ''How's about that second option?''

Like if he did overhear the last question, Izaya's finger stopped all of sudden after hearing Shizuo's words. "Did you..." Informant's eyes bored deep into blonde's, his irises widened in surprise. "Did you just tell that we should move in together, Shizuo?" The weight of that information made him sit down, right on Shizuo's knee. He stared at the other like a really surprised owl. His expression was actually pretty funny.

Honney brown eyes stared into Izaya and a soft smile laced blonde's face. ''Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.'' He instinctively leaned forward and looked up to Izaya, who sat on him. ''I mean, we love each other a lot. And...'' He trailed off, sighed. ''..It gets pretty lonely whenever I can't come over. You know that feeling too, right?'' he asked. It was strange to talk about this to Izaya, since he thought that Izaya was the type to never leave his luxurious apartment.

"Hmm~? Are you sure you can put up with my quirks 24/7, Shizu-chan?" Izaya leaned closer, his nose almost touching Shizuo's and his eyes gazing deep into blonde's. The idea surprised him, but Izaya couldn't deny he doesn't feel excited butterflies in his stomach."Besides...living together...You know what that means, ne~?" It already crossed his mind few times, what would it be like if he and Shizuo lived together, they were together for a year now after all. But he knew Shizuo wouldn't move into his apartment in Shinjuku and no way in hell he could move into Shizuo's cardbox which pretended to be an apartment.

Shizuo was dead serious. ''Pretty obvious I know what it means. It means we're gonna get a place together and be, you know...Like a normal couple.'' He replied, and he just couldn't resist planting a soft kiss over the top of Izaya's lips, having their proximity really close. As he pulled away, Shizuo playfully patted Izaya's back a few times. ''Hell, I put up with your antics almost all the time to the point where I've grown used to it.'' he muttered. Shizuo had to admit, he wanted to be with Izaya. ''I just wanna come home after work to you. Wanna spend my days with ya..'' he sighed.

Izaya slowly licked his lip with tip of his tongue, his mind working at full power as he thought this situation over. "Uhn...I want to be with you too, Shizu-chan." Because his face was so pale all the time, even the slightest change in colur of his cheeks was obvious. Thus Shizuo could see how Izaya's cheeks dusted by the softest shade of red as informant said his confession, rubbing the back of his neck as if he was embarrassed. "But you're aware that I'm not going to move into this...ne~?" He waved his hand around to show what he meant. "I need my luxury, so if you want to live together, you have to be prepared for that, Shizu-chan." He wasn't sure how Shizuo will deal with the financial question of living together, since it was obvious Izaya's going to pay for the apartment and blonde was always pretty stubborn when it came to wasting Izaya's money.

Shizuo smirked as he stroked the flushed cheeks with his thumb, rubbing it across Izaya's face. It was quite rare to get Izaya this embarrassed, especially at this stage of their relationship. Normally the only times when Izaya got easily flustered was when they dated, or during bed. So, Shizuo took his time to appreciate this side of the flea. ''Yeah, yeah. I get it, you want your fancy living.'' Shizuo expressed his awareness and looked up to Izaya, his nose just as close as before. ''We could make that work. I'll save up and stuff. I'm sure my brother's gonna be happy with the news.'' He continued. Deep down inside, he was actually pretty happy and was impatient to be with Izaya as soon as he could.

"Hah, seems like we're going to live together~" Izaya breathed out in awe, almost as if the info just now sank into his mind. He chuckled and cupped Shizuo's cheeks into his small cold hands. "We should celebrate that, ne~?" His lips found Shizuo's and he pulled him into sweet but deep kiss, his heart beating in his chest like crazy. It didn't last too long, because the million of thoughts swirled in Izaya's mind. After he broke the kiss, he started to ramble excitedly. "Should I start to search for some apartment in Ikebukuro? I suppose you still want to live in here, even when my home in Shinuku would be big enough for both of us...But maybe I could get something bigger over here..." There was no end to his blabbering.

Kissing the other back just as fervently, Shizuo wrapped his hands around Izaya's waist and locked him in place, on his lap. He stared in the other's eyes when the kiss broke. He smiled against Izaya's lips first before pulling back, licking his upper lip. ''H-hey, I don't mean now you know. It takes some time, you talk as if you wanna move in with me straight away.'' Smiling, Shizuo clamped his hands down Izaya's hair, ruffling the locks. ''It doesn't have to be big. Just enough for both of our needs?''

"Oh. I see." Izaya stopped the avalanche of words and blinked, when he realized he really doesn't have to go immediately to his laptop and search for some suitable apartment. "But still, it's a big step, ne~?" It seemed like his enthusiasm didn't waver too much. With cheeky grin he pulled away and puts his hands on Shizuo's chest. "We should really celebrate it, ne~? And what can be better celebration than...~" He didn't finish the sentence but instead his fingers swiftly started to unbutton Shizuo's shirt.

Unfazed, Shizuo was probably thinking the same as Izaya was. ''A celebration, huh. I'm totally not against that idea.'' It came out somewhat silkily as he smirked, letting Izaya unbutton his white pull-over. It seems like no matter what the place, they were almost always all over each other. ''Izaya-kunn, you're getting a little horny all of a sudden. Why?'' Shizuo snickered and slid his hand around the informant, squeezing one of his ass cheeks.

"You should know by now that I have never enough of you, Shizu-chan~ You can't blame me for the fact that the idea of snuggling to you every night in our shared apartment made me a little...excited~" Izaya made the most innocent face that he was able to, but his impish smirk was destroying the aura of innocence quite effectively. His palms ran up Shizuo's bare chest and rubbed against the little nubs as Shizuo's nipples were responding to teasing touch by becoming hard. "Besides, isn't it you who always become hard so fast, Shizu-chan~? I just want to cuddle with you a little, but seems like making out is never enough for this beast~" With totally not innocent smirk he pressed his fingers against the front of Shizuo's trousers.

''What do you mean I get hard so fast?'' Shizuo grit his teeth, getting a little bit embarrassed as he heard that. It was true though, because no matter how strong his body was, Shizuo was actually really sensitive to the littlest of touches. He let out a soft groan, feeling the nubs on his chest harden by the second- at the same pace as his member inside his boxers. It was even more justified as Izaya's fingers teased his groin. ''O-oi, is it just me, or do you seriously like to play with my body more than often nowadays? You know how I'll fucking get hard..'' he chided, resisting the urge to facepalm, hiding how shy he is.

"I mean exactly what I'm saying, Shizu-chan. Just few touches and look what does it do to you~" With amused smirk Izaya moved his fingers, stroking the fabric under which he could clearly feel Shizuo's budding erection. "Hm? I don't think I do this more often than before..." He uttered thoughtfully, while continuing with his ministrations. "And who knows? Maybe I want you to get hard, Shizu-chan~" His laugh only confirmed that it really is his goal. "But it's fascinating how sensitive this strong body is..." Izaya leaned down to nibble on Shizuo's neck. "Or is it because I'm so sexy~?" He smirked, licking the place he just bit.

Shizuo closed his eyes and craned his neck to the side, getting sparks of tingling pleasure spread inside his body. ''Shut up. You're just the same as I am. Whenever I touch you a little bit, you'd get hard too.'' He hissed out as if defending himself, covering his face with the back of his hand. The tight heat in his pants was unbearable by now, and Shizuo was just even more aroused than ever as Izaya started nibbling at his neck. He sighed out shakily and reached out, unzipping Izaya. The blond rubbed Izaya's erection for a bit and he looked up at him with a glint in his dark brown eyes. ''Take yours off too, Izaya-kun.'' he smirked.

"But you always say I'm horny flea, so there's no wonder." Smirking like he just said the most normal thing about himself, Izaya straightened and watched Shizuo freeing his hardened erection from prison of his tight black jeans. Soft mewls slipped from his mouth when Shizuo's long warm fingers wrapped around it and Izaya nibbled on his own bottom lip as jolts of pleasure ran through his body. After blonde's challenge, he grabbed the hem of his black V-neck and pulled it over his head, tossing it on the side. "You don't do anything half-heartedly, Shizu-chan, ne~?" Raven smirked and leaned to Shizuo's face to steal the tempting lips, luring them into deep passionate kiss with a soft strokes of tongues wrapped around each other.

Shizuo's eyes scanned at Izaya's small-framed body and then back up to the informant's flushed face again. ''I don't. Let's go all the way, okay?'' he smiled before kissing back the raven, inserting his tongue in the other's tavern. The rough texture of Izaya's tongue only made him shiver and cower with excitement as he found himself wrapping an arm around the raven, leaning back till the back of his head met the couch. After kissing him deeply, Shizuo pulled back in need of air and pressed one or two more light kisses on his lips. ''Hmm, you taste just as good as always.'' he laughed before pressing the heads of their erections together.

"You taste bitter-sweet, like always~" Izaya pointed out that strange taste of nicotine in Shizuo's mouth, but strangely, even when he didn't like cigarettes, Shizuo made that taste intoxicating for informant. "Hnn~ I'm not sure if I last 'all the way' if you keep doing this..." Izaya moaned and his arms wrapped tightly around Shizuo's neck, when he could feel Shizuo's hot throbbing penis sliding against his own in addicting pace. The wonderful friction almost made him cum. "Shizu-channn~" He mewled softly into blonde's ear and then traveled with his lips down Shizuo's neck to his collar bone, where he gently sucked and bit.

''We'll see...who comes first then..nngh'' Shizuo managed to chuckle, even if his mind in that moment was already blurred by a cloud of lust. The heat coming from their flesh being rubbed together was addicting and gave him a pleasurable feeling of being connected. He bit his lips until a moan escaped his mouth too, as their erections slide against each other. His precum rendered both of their lower bodies wet, making the slippery feeling good for both Shizuo and Izaya. Placing his palm on Izaya's hair as the latter sucked on his collarbone, Shizuo closed his eyes, only concentrating on how much it felt good for him. ''Nnngh, Izaya.'' he panted, stroking Izaya's member.

It was hard for him to focus on anything else than that wonderful sensation in his lower body, but Izaya didn't want to be just passively pleased by Shizuo's touches, so he trailed his tongue up the other's skin, stopping on a sensitive place on Shizuo's neck which he found long time ago. He sucked and kissed the place, while soft moans escaped him occasionally. His fingers ran through Shizuo's blonde locks and pulled them each time Shizuo delivered especially good stroke, which made Izaya shudder in please. "Shizu-chan...I think...I won't...last...too long..." Raven panted out into Shizuo's ear and his eyes flickered down to their slick cocks rubbing against each other, the sight sparked even more excitement in Izaya's body.

He wrapped his hand around both of their cocks, and delivered some sharp and harsh strokes which were getting firmer and firmer by the minute. Keeping his eyes closed, he tilted his head back, making his adam's apple more prominent than ever. ''Hmm, come, Izaya. Come with me.'' he replies to you in a soothing and gentle voice that Shizuo will only let Izaya hear, as he circled his thumb at the slits of their penises and then pulled the flesh down again. He then felt his orgasm coming close, and Shizuo was forced to open his eyes, turning his head to plant a soft peck at the informant's shoulder blades.

"Hnnn~" Shizuo's velvet voice was the last drop which brought Izaya over the edge. With a pleasured cry he arched his back when orgasm exploded in his body, his chest pressed against Shizuo's and both of them got covered by sticky white liquid that burst out from twitching penis. Happy and satisfied, Izaya leaned against Shizuo's body and rested. He could feel blonde's heart beat fast and it made him smile as he savored the moment. "This is really the best way how to celebrate, ne~?" He cupped Shizuo's cheek in his hand and made him turn his face to him, so he could press their lips together. He put all of his feelings into that loving and slow kiss.

Unable to hold it in anymore, Shizuo also came hard, as white hot semen gushes out from his tip. Breathing at a fast pace, the blond relishes the overwhelming feeling of afterglow that's still tingling at his cock. He could feel Izaya's slowly softening member still slide up against his own, when Izaya leaned close to share a deep, lingering kiss with him. ''Mmm..'' He moaned while kissing, feeling completely sated at that moment. The two kissed lovingly before Shizuo pulled back and caught his breath. ''That was amazing.'' he smirked.

"It's always amazing, ne~?" Izaya's soft chuckle filled the room and he materialized a tissue from some hidden pocket of his jacket that was loosely slung over the back of couch. In a second he wiped the sticky mess covering both of them and threw the paper on the floor. Then he rested his head on Shizuo's shoulder and drew small circles on blonde's chest with his finger. "What now, Shizu-chan~? So far you're pretty good in entertaining me~" He looked up with cheeky smile.

He saw how Izaya simply threw the tissue on the floor and smirked at him. ''You gotta pick that up later. Don't want any mess at my place, ya hear?'' He chuckled lightly, wrapping both arms around his boyfriend, drawing the slim informant closer to him. He snuggled Izaya before his eyebrows scrunched, thinking of what they would do next. ''Hmm, damn. I thought you'd be pretty tired after what we did and wanted to have some sleep.'' he chuckled and glanced at his cupboard. ''There's video games, cards..Oh. I think I have an old laptop somewhere too.''

"It's still just afternoon, Shizu-chan, I don't usually take naps during the day. And usually means never~" Izaya snickered with his face buried in Shizuo's hair. "You would have to pull out something more exhausting, not such a quickie, to make me tired~" Truthfully, Izaya was usually like a ball of unrestrained energy. And he didn't even need to sleep too much for it. "Laptop, eh~? Pffft~" Informant burst out laughing after he heard the list of possibilities. "I'll pass on wasting my nerves with the technology from Stone Age, Shizu-chan~" Smirking like the god of the newest technologies, Izaya looked into Shizuo's face. "Hmmm, maybe I'll give you a lesson of working with computer, when all of my devices will be available for you in /our/ apartment~" He tapped blonde's nose playfully.

Shizuo rolled his eyes. ''At least it's still a laptop, even if it's not so advanced as yours.'' Shizuo fired back to the other with his eyebrows twitching. ''We'll see, normally I ain't interested using the computer. But a little lesson could be good too.'' Shizuo said, as if in new-found interest in technology. He looked back at Izaya and blinked, before he found himself blushing at the thought of moving in together. ''U-uh. Yeah, our own place together.'' he rephrased that. Then, he squirmed and tried to get up. ''Hey, you're getting heavy now.'' The blond mumbled.

"Heavy?" Izaya dramatically gasped. "How can a guy who's able to pick up vending machine like a feather complain about me being heavy?" Shaking his head he unwrapped his arms and little clumsily stood up from couch. Firstly he adjusted his trousers, then he reached for his shirt and swiftly put it on again, since he always got cold pretty easily and Shizuo's apartment wasn't the warmest. "Just for your information, I always weight myself after bath and my weight is completely perfect." Huffing he plopped himself into the armchair, but as usual his attention was quickly drawn to something else. He looked around thoughtfully and then questioningly glanced at blonde. "Is there anything you will take with you from here, Shizu-chan? To the other apartment I mean." It seemed like once the idea settled in Izaya's mind, he couldn't stop thinking about it, even if moving in together was still far away. When something was about to change in his organized life, he needed to mentally prepared for every possibility. Creating countless numbers of plans, that was his own version of being nervous.

Glancing around, Shizuo stared at his apartment. It didn't have the most expensive furnitures like what Izaya had at home, but it still had some memoriable furtinures. ''I'm not sure. Guess I'll take my cooking appliances, clothes and the important stuff.'' he softly sounded out, resting on the couch with his fly still open. ''Oi, it's not like we're going now, are we? You just bought a new bed for your office. It'll be a bother to get our apartment straight away, while we're at it.'' he chuckled and stood up, unbuttoning his shirt.

"Hm, hm~" Izaya was nodding to Shizuo's words as he named the things he wanted to keep, but then informant's eyes widened. "Are you taking that proposal back, Shizu-chan?" Izaya averted his gaze feeling confused. The idea of moving in together was exciting and terrifying for him at the same time, since he had zero experience with something like and it also meant leaving his comfy spacious apartment in Shinjuku. But he knew he wouldn't mind to pack everything and simply move, because it meant to spend a lot of more time with each other. He could arrange everything in two weeks, but it seemed to him now that Shizuo's isn't so eager to live together after all. "Don't propose something, when you don't mind it..." Izaya murmured, feeling rejected.

Messing with his pants, Shizuo zipped himself up and went towards Izaya, standing in front of him. He patted the raven's head and crouched down so that they were on the same level, Izaya on the armchair. ''Silly. I just don't want you to spend some money on this..Won't you let me help with the expenses too? I'm just as excited as you are, to be with you everyday, waking up in bed next to you..It's awesome.'' as he said that, the blond couldn't help but feel some butterflies in his stomach. He reached out and stroked Izaya's cheek. ''We need to go apartment looking first, ya know. Patience~'' he jested.

Even when words were his best weapon, Izaya wouldn't be able to describe the feeling of relief that washed over him. With a big relieved sigh he relaxed under Shizuo's touch, his cheeks flushing a little once again. "Oh. And how long do you plan to spare for this, Shizu-chan?" He looked up at the blonde standing above him. He couldn't tell that to buy apartment according his idea, Shizuo would need to work few years and Izaya supposed that none of them wants to wait that long. "Ne, Shizu-chan, realties are good investment and I have some money that I planned to invest anyway, you know? You could let me handle this. In exchange, you'll take care of the apartment and cooking~" Izaya tried to charm his stubborn lover by a warm smile.

As much as Shizuo felt guilty for leeching on Izaya's earned cash, he does want to spend his days together with Izaya. ''I'm not sure about that.'' he sighed, wondering if their plan would even come true at this rate. Shizuo knew that Izaya would have no problem when it comes to cash, and hearing that, it felt like a fair exhange, even if he's bad at taking care of anything. Taking a deep breathe, he spoke up. ''There's no helping it, huh. Fine, we'll move in together soon. But we gotta look around town first before anything else.'' he pulled Izaya's cheek and agreed.

Izaya grinned like he just won a gold medal at some championship, satisfied with Shizuo's final answer. "Ne, ne~ Do you want to hire the best informant in the city to find some suitable apartments around here, Shizu-chan~? But let me tell you his services are pretty pricey, so you should be rather prepared for that~ I see it at...hmm..." Izaya thoughtfully tapped his bottom lip with his finger as if he was really thinking about it. "...satisfying all his sexual needs for the rest of the life~ Sounds like a good deal, ne~?" Informant chuckled and tugged Shizuo's trousers. "Is there anything you would like to have in the apartment, Shizu-chan~? Balcony? Park in front of the bulding?" He asked more seriously now, even when he still grinned like Cheshire Cat. Izaya had a clear idea what the apartment should look like (and surprisingly it awfully resembled one luxurious apartment in Shinjuku, but that was totally just a coincidence~), but since it's going to be 'their' apartment and not 'his', he wanted to consider Shizuo's wishes as well.

Shizuo blushed, cracking a slight smile behind his composed facade. ''What kind of deal is that. Hiring you to look for apartments in exchange for sex?'' he chuckled and pulled both of Izaya's cheeks. ''You better be doing that to only me, Iza-yaaaa-kun. I won't forgive you is you start having this type of business running around with a bunch of those stupid yakuza clients.'' He hissed out, and there was obviously a hint of possessiveness in his tone. Then, he scratched his head. Shizuo was never really good at giving specific details about their home design, he's more of the type of guy who buys something straight away without being so meticulous. ''Hmm, I guess anything's good. A balcony would be great. Need that to go out and have a smoke or two, watching the city. The usual stuff.'' he replied. ''You're not thinking of getting the most expensive one in town, are you?'' he asked, eyes narrowing.

Izaya hit Shizuo's head by edge of his palm. "Idiot, of course I don't make deal like that with other people. Don't believe all rumors that go through the city, Shizu-chan~ But if I charged you the money I usually ask from my clients, we would never move in together." He finished the sentence with amused snicker. Then he pulled out his phone and made some note, murmuring for himself. "Balcony...hmm...Yeah, we'll need it..." He looked up at Shizuo after the question, smiling innocently. "I'm not going to look at a price, Shizu-chan, I'll simply pick what will suit our needs~ If it happens to be the most expensive apartmet in the city, there's no help~" He shrugged nonchalantly, like if it wasn't big deal to spend so much money on it. And it actually wasn't big deal for Izaya. He hid his phone again and leaned into the armchair, shaking his head in awe. "Whoa...We're really going to live together, ne? It's strange idea, but in a good way~" Smiling he looked up at his lover.

Thinking that he's got no other reason to sway Izaya, Shizuo sighed mildly. ''Ahh, okay then. But you gotta make sure we get a place that's not so...over the top. Less is more.'' He mumbled as he went back to the sofa, slumping down on it. ''Yeah, kinda crazy, don't you think? I would have to deal with you moving that annoying weighing machine in the bathroom.'' he laughed, still remembering that Izaya was very sensitive about his weight. But to him, moving together wouldn't make that much of a difference, he knew what Izaya was like in and out already. And it was only a matter of time before they would get a place together.

"I'll search for something what will satisfy both of us, Shizu-chan." Izaya made a mental note to not get too crazy while searching for free apartments. He wanted his luxury, but he also wished Shizuoalso would feel comfortable in their new home and he knew the blonde prefers simplicity over anything else. "Oi, you have your quirks too, Shizu-chan, so don't make fun of mine." Raven pouted when Shizuo mentioned the weight. The idea of moving in still made him feel kinda overwhelmed, so he just wanted to snuggle to Shizuo's strong, warm body now and enjoy the evening together. He stood up and went over to TV. "What about watching a movie together, Shizu-chan?" Izaya glanced at the addressed blonde over his shoulder.

Shizuo pouted. ''Was totally not makin' fun of you.'' he mumbled under his nose, though it almost came out like he was teasing his lover. Following Izaya, Shizuo blinked as he went over to his TV. He kept all of his brother's movies, a few children anime, and some miscellaneous movies in their boxes near his TV. ''Ahh, sure. What do you wanna watch?'' he joined his lover, going through his collection. ''They're all pretty old though, I didn't have time to go out and buy some new movies.''

"Hmm~" Izaya observed the collection of movies curiously, he haven't seen many of them even when like Shizuo told, they were old. He didn't have much time to spend by lazying around in front of TV and he usually just watched either some intriguing psychological thrillers or silly anime shows, so he just waved at Shizuo and walked back to couch. "Just pick any, Shizu-chan. Maybe some with your brother? I've seen just one of his movies, I think." He plopped himself on sofa and waited for Shizuo to join him.

''Sure.'' Shizuo voiced out, his eyes looking through the relatively large collection of CDs. In the end, he picked out the movie which just newly came out, about the battle between ninjas and aliens. He set it up and turned the TV with the remote that was on the TV, and the screen lit up. The starting of the movie was kind of cheesy, with some music which reminded Shizuo of superhero stories for small children. He went over to the couch and sat next to Izaya, making himself comfortable. ''Ahh, I've seen this a few times.'' he smiled.

Izaya immediately snuggled to Shizuo, resting his head on the blonde's shoulder. After a while of watching, he spoke up without changing his position. "Ne, Shizu-chan, I hope you won't throw me out of the window together with couch when I say that maybe your brother should be a little more picky when it comes to accepting his roles. The scenarist of this movie should give up on his career for the sake of human race~" His chuckling filled the room, but it didn't seem like he wants to stop watching. It was enough for him to enjoy this moment like it was, with Shizuo by his side, even when the movies itself was so ridiculous.

Luckily for Izaya, Shizuo wasn't that angry. Instead, he nodded unknowingly. ''Well, it's his career after all. He makes all the choices I guess.'' He stifled a yawn as his brown eyes stared into the scene in the movie. It was obvious that his brother was using a green screen, performing all of those wild and crazy stunts. ''Just don't make any remarks about the sci-fi in the movie, smart ass.'' he pinched Izaya's cheeks and chuckled, nuzzling his cheek at the informant's hair.

"Nuu~" Izaya let out a short whine after his cheek was abused like that, but Shizuo's nuzzling helped him to relax right after that. "Well, special effects aren't that bad, but it's just your brother's acting what's saving this movie from being a trash." He stated matter of factly. During the final battle between the ninjas and aliens, which was simply ridiculous beyond belief, Izaya turned his face to his companion and rested his chin on his shoulder. "Weren't you ever tempted to try acting, Shizu-chan~? With such an idol in your family, you could have some genes for it~ Maybe you could do a big career too instead of sending the debtors flying across the city." He watched Shizuo curiously.

Shizuo looked at the screen, surprised at the battle scenes. They involved some fancy gizmos and devices being used wildly in the film. ''I know Kasuka's good, despite having a stoic expression at home.'' he said, didn't even look at Izaya when he rested his chin on his shoulder. More fighting with Kasuka, the ninja, attacking the alien happens and Shizuo just about memorized what was gonna happen next, since he watched the movie before. ''Eh..I can't act, Izaya. Don't be silly.'' Shizuo voiced out, as if doubting himself. ''It's probably a good thing if I don't work with the actors, I might hurt them if I get mad. Besides, I'm satisfied with Tom-san.'' he chuckled and turned to Izaya. ''How about you?''

"Hm? You can't say that before you try~ And I think your self-control got much better from the moment you learned to deal with me, Shizu-chan." Izaya appreciated Shizuo's effort to be calmer man by wide grin. "Me? What about me?" Raven blinked after Shizuo turned to him. "You mean me being an idol?" The idea made Izaya burt into one of his usual fit of laughters. The big fight in TV managed to come to its end sooner than Izaya's laugh died off. After he wiped the little tears out of corner of his eyes, infrmant looked back at Shizuo, still having a problem to stay serious. " That was a good joke, Shizu-chan. I can't say it's not within my abilities, but can you seriously imagine me as a pop idol~? Let's say I'm satisfied with my current lifestyle, I don't need paparazzi to camp in front of my - eh, our - house~" He grinned.

Shizuo just shook his head as Izaya bursts out laughing into his usual fits. Good thing Shizuo was getting used to it, or not he would of stood up and went away. ''Tch, shut up..I'm just sayin'. You got the looks, charms. I bet every girl in this world would be all over you if you're famous.'' he mumbled out through his teeth. But even so, Shizuo was kinda glad that despite Izaya's charm and beautiful face, no women has been interested in him so far, perhaps because of his notorious reputation.

"Thank you for compliments, Shizu-chan~" Izaya grinned and reached to Shizuo's head as if he wanted to pat it, but ended up ruffling his hair with a smirk on his lips. "And you would get so frustrated from jealousy that the permanently high blood pressure would kill you. That's good enough reason for me to not even think about conquering the world of showbiz~" His hand slid down to Shizuo's chest and he poked it right in the middle. "You're obliged to stay by my side for eternity, that's an order~" Izaya pulled out the brightest and sweetest smile of his repertoar, but destroyed the moment by his very next action. "Though, I'm really curious about /your/ acting abilities. Show me some performance, Shizu-chan~" He patted blonde's back, urging him to stand up and do something.

''Hey, I won't get jealous anymore, cuz I know you only want me instead of anybody else.'' Shizuo sounded out confidently as a smirk took over his face. He was just about to pull Izaya into a sweet kiss before hearing the next thing that Izaya said, which surprised him a bit. ''Haa?'' Shizuo coughed, pointing at his self. He shook his head as if signifying that he's not suited for games like this. ''I can't, I get really angry easily and I don't know how to pretend.''he said miserably.

"C'mon, you haven't even tried it, Shizu-chan~ You're not a coward, are you~?" Izaya teased, he was always determined to get what he wanted and he wanted to play with Shizuo now a bit. He pushed him off the couch a little harder, while on the screen of TV appeared closing credits. "See, the movie ended, it's a good time for a little game~ Let's play charades. I want to see what's in you, Shizu-chan~" It was really hard to say no when Izaya used the look which he used right now, the excited sparkles shining in his auburn eyes britghtly.

Shizuo sighed loudly as he was forced off the couch, standing in front of Izaya. The fact that the movie had ended with the credits didn't help him one bit, just in case he wanted to use the movie as an excuse. It seems like Shizuo had no way out into this one. ''I-I guess I could try.'' The blond, albeit reluctantly, agreed. He lowered his eyes and looked at Izaya, confused. ''What do I act as?'' he asked. He was a little new to this kind of experince, no kids wanted to play with him ever since he was younger.

Satisfied grin settled on Izaya's face once Shizuo stood up. He shifted on couch and sat with his legs folded under him, resting his chin on his hands. "Hm?" He returned Shizuo's gaze. "We can play whatever suits you, Shizu-chan. Animals are too easy. We could play titles of movies, but since we haven't seen the same movies, it would be tough. Maybe jobs? That's classic~" Izaya thought aloud and tilted his head at the blonde.

''Jobs, eh. I could try.'' Shizuo thought about it for a while before fianlly settling in one one. Being a man who got fired job after job, there was actually alot of jobs that Shizuo has taken up before. Clearing his throat, Shizuo took a deep breath. He really felt child-like playing this and he stood there awkwardly, thinking of a job. Finally, Shizuo made gestures in the air, wild ones. Then he made his hand into a shape of a gun.

Izaya had what to do so he wouldn't start laughing again, when he saw Shizuo flailing his arms in the air like that. He raised his brow, thinking what the hell can it be that Shizuo's showing to him. When blonde made a gesture of pistol, Izaya tilted head and quizzically looked at the other. "Is that policeman by any chance?" It was the only solution that popped out in his mind except the yakuza member. He snickered at that possibility.

Shizuo stopped in his acting as Izaya got that one correct. ''Yeah, s'right.'' he chuckled, gesturing Izaya to come over now. What made it more ironic is the fact that Shizuo didn't become a cop before in his life, as he only took some small, freelance jobs during his teen years all the way to young adulthood. ''Well I done my part now. It's your turn.'' the blond playfully pulled Izaya's wrist to stand up.

"Policeman? Really? I wonder if it's the career of your dreams, Shizu-chan~" Izaya didn't get too far in his teasing, when his hand was suddenly grabbed. "E-eh? But I wasn't supposed to pl-..." Izaya didn't finish his complaint, but just sighed in resignation when he was pulled from his comfortable seat. "Oh well, I should give a go." He rubbed his chin while thinking about some job, while he waited for Shizuo to take the seat. Just when the blonde made himself comfortable, Izaya's lips widened in a smile which was screaming 'I-plan-some-scheme'. "Here I go, Shizu-chan~" And with that Izaya started to suggestively move into the rhythm of the music of final credits that still went on the screen of TV. He slid his hand down his body and ended up pulling his shirt over his head, throwing it at Shizuo.

''Too late, we're both gonna play.'' he said that as he made himself comfortable at the couch. He concentrated hard at Izaya's first few moves, thinking about all the jobs he could remember in his head and seeing whether Izaya closely resembled any one of them or not. He stood straight up, as Izaya started to smirk mischievously, something that Shizuo thought he should be careful around. ''Oi-'' he was forced to shut up because by then Izaya's V-neck was thrown at him. He looked down on it and back up again at Izaya. At first he thought that Izaya was pretending to be a stripper but he decided to wait more to confirm his guess. ''What kind of job is that..'' he chuckled.

"Haaa~? You still don't know?" Izaya let out a scandalized gasp, but it was just a part of the game. He was pretty sure that Shizuo has a good guess about the job by now, but the blonde obviously wanted to see more of it. Izaya put his hand dramatically against his forehead and sighed. "I'm doing my best to show you, Shizu-chan, how come you can't guess it yet? Seems like I'll need to show you more~" The hand resting on his forehead went lower and he sensually wrapped his lips around his finger for a second, before sliding the wet tip down his bare chest and stomach, to the hem of his trousers. "Still nothing, hm~?" With a smirk, Izaya unbuttoned his jeans and let them fall down to his ankles. Just in his underwear he made a step towards the couch. "So?" He bent over to level of Shizuo's face and smiled provocatively.

''I have an idea about it in my mind.'' Shizuo muttered under his breath, the only thing he could think of now is 'stripper.' He's seen them a few times before, and to him it wasn't exactly the best job in town. Finally, Shizuo decided to blurt it out anyway. ''Uh, are you some sort of stripper?'' he questioned, thinking about how it left a bitter taste in his mouth, since it contrasted greatly to his morals. He kept his eyes on the flea as he unbuttoned his jeans and gulped. ''So I was right. huh.'' he murmured. Somehow seeing Izaya act like that, especially pretend to work such a promiscuous job, made him unreasonably and irratinally jealous.

Right after he heard Shizuo's answer, Izaya stopped his promiscuous act and plopped himself on the couch, almost naked, just like he was after his 'strip show'. "It took you a while, Shizu-chan~ And I was doing such a good job performing it~" He snickered and nudged the blonde, who was frowning in irritation. "Oi, what's with that expression, Shizu-chan?" Izaya tilted his head. "Do you want to play more? It's your turn, you know~" Oblivious to feelings of jealousy which he stirred in his lover, Izaya pushed Shizuo of the couch.

He pouted. ''What expression?'' Shizuo suddenly sounding as if he was cool again. ''Yeah, you did a good job. Only to me.'' he agreed as Shizuo was once again pushed to stand up. Chuckling breathlessly, the blond awkwardly got up to his feet, thinking of another job that he could possibly mimick. ''Okay, I got one.'' And since there was absolutely no way he's gonna strip and be something dirty like Izaya was, Shizuo tried to act out his choice. And since it was the most simple job to play in the world, he made cutting gestures.

Izaya reached for a blanket and wrapped it tightly around hismelf, watching Shizuo, how's he imitating cutting. It was immediately clear to him what job's that, but he decided to play clueless, because he wanted to tease Shizuo a little. "Hmmm? What that could be?" Informant tilted his head, hiding the smirk that settled on his lips behind the blanket, which covered his entire body except the head. "Oh, oh~ I know~" Izaya straightened in excitement. "It's assassin dissecting his victim into pieces, so he can more easily hide the body, ne~?" He stated with a wide grin.

Shizuo snickered and broke his act, couldn't stay serious throughout the game. ''Oi, that's not it, flea. I don't even know a job like that exist..'' he laughed and stirred something imaginary in the air. It was true that Shizuo hasn't played games with anyone, so he was having a fair amount of fun he didn't get during his childhood. ''Shut up and watch closely. It's the only thing that you can't do in your life.'' He teased, making more actions which supports the job he's trying to convey while watching Izaya closely.

Izaya nodded and leaned forward, not taking his eyes from Shizuo. "I'm watching~" He really looked intrigued. "Oh, I know, I know~ Are you preparing me nice imaginary portion of ootoro by any chance, Shizu-chan~?" Raven snickered, but then he hid under the blanket with a dramatic whine. "Nooooo, don't make me remember the fish's eyes, protozoan~!" More muffled sounds could be heard from under the blanket, but it was impossible to understand what's Izaya saying.

Shizuo stopped whatever he was doing and lunged toward at Izaya, getting inside the blankets. ''Hey, did I say you can stop watching?'' he laughed and held Izaya down, squirming on top of the couch, where their bodies entangled. Izaya already guessed it correctly so he didn't make an effort to continue the act again. Pressing his nose and Izaya's neck when he successfully exposed him, he scowled. ''Dunno what scares you so much about fish's eyes. Aren't my eyes the same?'' he looked at Izaya, widening them.

Izaya didn't struggle too hard when tall blonde landed on him, but he raised his brow. "As far as I know you're still alive, Shizu-chan." He lifted his hand and poked Shizuo's cheek to prove his point. "And your eyes are nothing like fish's eyes, silly neanderthal...Your eyes are..." Izaya gazed deeply into those big pools of honey, but looked away after a moment, his cheeks dusted by red tint. "Well, it's just that fish's eyes are...urgh...disgusting..." He shuddered just from the mere idea, avoiding to finish his previous statement.

He looked back at Izaya, feeling perplexed. ''What are my eyes? You didn't finish telling me that.'' he nudged his lips at Izaya's chin when the latter looked away. Shizuo was wagging his imaginary tail back and forth as he's too jumpy at that night, liking the big reaction he got from his lover. ''S'not like you're ever gonna see dead fish now, you never enter the kitchen anyway.'' he added that and smirked.

Izaya flushed even more when Shizuo demanded the rest of the unfinished sentence and his soft lips nibbling softly on informant's chin made it hard to resist. Auburn eyes slowly moved back to Shizuo's and Izaya pronounced in soft, quiet voice. "Your eyes, Shizu-chan, are...warm, deep and enchanting, it's like I could get lost in them if I looked long enough..." As he spoke, his hands cupped Shizuo's face and gently caressed his cheeks with his thumbs. But when he finished the confession, as if some spell was broken, Izaya's eyes shied away and raven sighed. "You make me spill such an embarrassing nonsense sometimes, Shizu-chan...Seriously, how do you do it."

He felt his heart jump, hearing Izaya's abrupt confession before a warm smile took over his face. ''Tch, you're so cute sometimes.'' he hissed, lowering his eyes and staring at the raven. ''Can't believe I can actually hear the great Orihara Izaya say something like that, whoa!'' Shizuo suddenly hastily yelled out of the blue. The blond snickered and crossed his legs on the couch, feeling strangely sated with Izaya's confession. True, Izaya had been reluctant in spewing out romantic shit to him, even back then when he first found out about the informant's true feelings. ''It's not embarrassing at all, it's adorable.''

Izaya's orbs widened and his lips formed a straight thin line when Shizuo's exclamation brought him to a new level of embarrassment. He resisted the urge to show Shizuo some vulgar gesture. Instead, a composed expression settled on his face, even when his cheeks were still shining with rosy colour. "I don't have a clue what did you hear, protozoan~ You must be having hallucinations, because I totally don't remember saying anything adorable to you~" Izaya crossed arms over his chest, pretending that the confession never slipped out of his mouth. The arrogant mask together with sign of embarrassment on his face created quite a funny combination.

It was rather unusual to see Izaya trying to act clueless, even when it was obviously clearly reflected on his expression. ''Ahh, what's wrong with being cute? It's a good thing. After all, I'm praising you, not like before.'' Shizuo said, can't seem to hold in his laughter in his throat. He really did find Izaya cute, contradicting with what he's saying by seeing his face. ''You know what, I won't use the word 'adorable', then. You're pretty fucking attractive when your cheeks are all red like that.'' he rephrased, pressing his finger against Izaya's cheek. He knew that Izaya didn't like to be compared to a girl, and Shizuo knew better.

It really stroked Izaya's ego in right place, hearing compliment like that, but there was one thing spoiling that feeling. "I'm not blushing!" Informant gasped, though thanks to raising temperature in his face he knew that's an obvious lie. He pulled the blanket over himself, hiding before blonde and his bewitching eyes. Shizuo was probably the only person in the world who possessed the ability to completely strip Izaya of his pride and no matter how much Izaya struggled against it, it always worked. "Look what are you doing to me, stupid protozoan...Damn you, Shizuo..." Muffled muttering could be heard from under the blanket.

''Hey, oi~'' Shizuo was practically laughing by now as Izaya went into the safe cocoon of the blanket. He couldn't exactly hear the muffled mumbling but he has a pretty good guess that Izaya was obviously grumbling about him. ''Relax, there's just me here. It's not like anyone else will get to see this side of you.'' he said, in a more fined and relaxed manner now. He reached out to slowly pull the blankets from Izaya, when he knew that Izaya's hands weren't tugging it hard anymore. He smiled when he saw his lover's face. ''Don't hide from me, flea. I spent years chasing after you.''

A/N: Sorry for such an abrupt ending, but that's where this roleplay ended~ We've started a new one after this, in our new apartment with the new bed *winks* We'll share the story about us living together after it'll be finished. At least you have something to look forward to~

With love and kisses, Izaya-sama and Shizuo-sama
