…..

"What are we going to do?" Izaya sighed; he watched Shizuo getting ready for work from the bed, covers pulled up over his legs as he rested crossed arms on his knees, sitting his chin on his arms. He had been wondering what was going to happen ever since yesterday.

"Do you know where my bow tie is?" Shizuo turned around.

"Shizuo! This is a serious matter here. Things could get dicey and you're worried about your stupid bow tie!" Izaya snapped. He was annoyed at the fact that Shizuo was so light minded about the severity of the situation. It was almost as if he didn't care what happened to either of them. But then again, Izaya was the only one who know was Tetsuya was capable of so it would make sense that Shizuo didn't really take it seriously.

"Relax ok, it's not that I'm not serious about this either," Shizuo scratched the back of his head, but then his expression turned into one of fury. "It's just that I'm so pissed off to the point where I'm thinking about what I'm going to do to this jackass once I find him. This time I'll kill him. I'll kill him dead for sure," he growled out, pounding his fist into his open palm.

"Oh," Izaya nodded with understanding, not being phased by the seeping amounts of rage that were coming from Shizuo. So that's why he's eager to go to work today. "It's in the bathroom where you left it."

"Oh thanks," Shizuo had calmed down and walked out of the bedroom.

Izaya smiled, sometimes he forgot about how abnormal Shizuo is. It made him a little giddy that Shizuo was protecting him, and in such a possessive manner, he had no idea that Shizuo could be like this when he loved someone. If had known sooner, things would have been different and he'd be in the blondes arms a very long time ago.

"Hey Izaya!" Shizuo called from the living room.

Izaya stood and walked out, "yeah?"

Shizuo was fiddling with his bow tie, but having a little difficulty with fingers trembling in rage, even though his expression was completely calm apart from his narrowed brows and eyes full of concentration. "Do you mind if I kill your former babysitter?"

"Not really." Izaya shrugged and watched Shizuo growl, he chuckled and walked towards him. "Here, let me help." Izaya fixed Shizuo's bow tie and smiled, straightening it up. "There we go, all done." He was pleased at his handy work and he patted Shizuo's shoulders and rested his hands there.

Shizuo smiled and leaned in, kissing Izaya on the forehead. "I'll be back later ok?" Shizuo patted Izaya's head before turning towards the door. When he grasped the handle, he felt a tug at his arm and he was suddenly spun around, pushed against the door. Lips found their way to his and he stared at Izaya, who was kissing him.

Shizuo's eyes fluttered shut and he wrapped his arms around the small body that clung to his. He felt a tongue slip brush against his teeth and he opened his mouth more and his hands began to roam around Izaya's body as he let him play with his tongue.

Izaya moaned when Shizuo groped his ass and he pulled back a little breathless. "Don't do that, you'll make me hard and then you'll be late for work when you have to fix it." Izaya pouted, Shizuo smirked, giving one last squeeze before his hand travelled up to hold Izaya closer.

"I'll be ok. Alright?" Shizuo whispered in his ear. He knew why Izaya wanted that last kiss before he left. It was because he was worried about Shizuo mainly due to the fact that he knew next to nothing about Tetsuya, and it scared Izaya more than anything. "He won't kill me. Because I'll kill him before he even gets the chance to kill me."

"Be safe," Izaya hugged tighter around Shizuo's neck.

"I will." Shizuo kissed Izaya on the lips one last time before opening his front door and leaving.

For most of the day, Shizuo remained relatively calm, at least that's what it seemed like at first glance. But when Tom began to notice Shizuo muttering something, he grew very worried about whom he was angry at, because the whole time he had been whispering the same word over and over again: 'Kill.'

Izaya stayed at home and kept himself busy. He was going through all the stuff that he has neglected over the week because he had been doing some of his own research about Tetsuya. At least this way he can keep his mind off things and try not to worry as much.

It seemed nothing of interest was going on in the world; in fact it was quiet, too quiet for his liking. He checked his chats and nothing unusual was going on at the moment. Which was a little boring but he had no desire to spice things up right now.

He jumped at hearing his phone vibrate but picked it up seeing Shizuo's number on it and relaxed a little.

"Shizu-chan?" Izaya said. "Why are you calling me?"

"Because I can't find the damn bastard," Shizuo sounded frustrated, more so then usual. "So I was wondering if you heard or seen anything about it?"

"Sorry, nothing's come through." Izaya said, typing on his computer again.

"Dammit!" Shizuo growled. "Thanks anyways. I'll see ya later."

"Yeah, see ya." Izaya hung up and sighed, Shizuo's more determined to beat the crap out of Tetsuya then when he hated him. That much was evident even without seeing his face; just the tone of his voice gave it away. A seething hate that burned with rage and heated violence. And for once, Izaya feared Shizuo might overdo it and actually kill someone.

But then his phone vibrated again, he picked it up without looking thinking it was Shizuo again. "Shizu-chan, I haven't found out anything—"

"Shizu-chan? That's what you call him?"

Izaya froze upon hearing the voice. It wasn't Shizuo's, but it was one that made his blood run cold. "T-Tetsuya?" he said shakily.

"Ah, you remember me." he could hear the smile in his voice. "That's good; I was beginning to think that I'd been forgotten by my oh-so-precious-little-Izaya."

"What do you want?" Izaya growled.

"So fierce. Maybe staying with that monster wasn't such a good idea? You've picked up some of his habits." Tetsuya cooed.

Izaya gritted his teeth but didn't respond.

"Now listen, I've come all this way just to see you. Remember when your father would leave you with me so that he could go and do his job? Remember all the games we played?"

Izaya shivered from the disgusting memories, all his touches felt wrong and dirty, they were cold. Even now, after so many years, he could still feel them. It was one of the reasons why he moved away from that place.

"And remember how you lost your virginity to me? I was so happy that you allowed me to do that." His voice had turned dark. "You were so eager and loving that you stole my heart the moment we met. And we had so much fun. It was like we are soul mates, born to be together until death. Isn't that right, Izaya my love?"

His trembling only got worse at the memory. He didn't give his consent when Tetsuya forced himself on him. If he had the chance to redo his childhood, Izaya would repeatedly hit the button that said he could in a heartbeat. Anything to rid himself of those memories and anything to rid himself of that demon.

"But now I have one question for you. Why are you with someone else even after I've told you not to love another but me?" his voice held malice.

"Because, unlike you, Shizu-chan loves me for who I am rather than my body and looks." Izaya said. "He treats me gently and everything he does is kind and loving. Unlike you."

It's true, Shizuo loved him. His kisses were sweet and gentle, his touches were warm and soft and he loved every minute spent with him. Shizuo would protect him when he was in danger, he'd stroke his hair and cuddle him until he fell asleep and even then wouldn't let go, he'd comfort him when he was upset and he'd do everything he could to get him to smile. And now those thoughts made Izaya smile.

Tetsuya laughed. "Are you sure it's not from pity that he's like that? After all, you two have hated each other how long now? Five years? Six years? Don't you think that the love you hold is fake?"

"No! You're wrong!" Izaya snapped. "He's not like that. He's not like you. Shizuo is kind and gentle, despite his violent nature, he's nice and I love him and he loves me. You're just an ass with an obsession."

"IT IS NOT AN OBSESSION!" Tetsuya roared, "it is love, plain and simple, I love you Izaya, you belong to me and only me. No one else is allowed to have you."

"Then why did you get those guys to rape me?" Izaya snapped.

"Because, you needed punishment, you needed to know what happens when you love someone other than me. But it was also to bring you closer to me, to show that if you mess up and fall in love with someone else, you will be punished with what happens in love, and that is sex."

"Bastard!" Izaya growled. Shizuo better hurry up and kill this guy before he marches out there and kills him himself.

"Oh, look who I found, the monster Shizu-chan. Tell me my little Izaya, have you ever tried to kill the monster using a poisoned blade?" Tetsuya held an amused tone.

Izaya's eyes widen. "You wouldn't dare."

"Oh yes I would, and a poison so strong that it would kill a normal person with an instant death, not matter if cut, stabbed or grazed. You need punishment Izaya. No one can have you but me, no one can touch you but me, and no one is allowed to have you but me. Do you understand? Well, I should be going now; the beast won't kill himself now would he?"

Izaya was about to respond, but the line went dead. Shizuo needed help, and he was the only one who could help him. Vaulting to his feet, Izaya grabbed his jacket and stuffed as many knifes as he could fit before racing out the door, towards the fight that was about to occur.

But before then, he pulled out his phone and dialled in a number before placing it to his ear, "Shiki? I know who that guy is that's been attacking your syndicate."

…

"Oh Shizuo!" Tetsuya cooed. A katana in his grasp as he had a hand stuck in his jacket pocket.

Shizuo froze in his tracks and craned his head back, glaring fiercely at the man before him. A deadly grin spread across his face as he turned to face the man. "About time you showed up. I was beginning to get bored waiting and go looking for you."

"Hmm? Shizuo?" Tom turned around hearing Shizuo speak.

"Is that so?" Tetsuya smirked. He gripped his katana tighter in his left hand.

"Don't worry Tom; this will be over very quickly." Shizuo cracked his knuckles and began marching towards Tetsuya.

"Yes that's right. Come to your death stupid beast." Tetsuya flicked the guard of his katana and gripped the hilt, pulling it from the scabbard. The blade held a green tint that went mostly unnoticed.

Shizuo reached out and pulled a street sign from the sidewalk, gripping it in one hand while unbuttoning his collar. Tetsuya dropped his scabbard and gripped the hilt with both hands.

Then Shizuo leapt at him, sign post arched back and he swung. Tetsuya blocked, blade grinding against the metal pole and raced towards him, hoping to slice his chest or cut his arm from his body but failed as Shizuo pushed him away.

Tetsuya skidded but charged for Shizuo again, they clashed again but Shizuo swatted the blade away and arched his fist back, swinging a punch that missed. Tetsuya slashed at him again and again but each time he was blocked or dodged which was beginning to annoy him since he was very skilled but this guy was something else. He could always cut his victims, so why was this guy so hard to stab?

"Bastard!" Shizuo growled, pulling the sign post behind him and thrusting it forwards, tossing it with blinding speed only to graze tetsuya's cheek as he leaned to the side.

This obviously wasn't working as Shizuo ran and gripped the closest vending machine, ripping it from the ground and hurtling it towards Tetsuya. He jumped out of the way towards his scabbard, sheathing his sword and racing down the street.

"Get your ass back here!" Shizuo pursued him. Tetsuya leapt onto a trash bin and jumped up to the over hangs of the street shops. He raced across them with ease but wasn't surprised when he saw Shizuo following him on the streets below, yanking signs from the ground and tossing them lighting fast at him that he slipped past them without a problem, twisting and turning, flipping and dodging.

This guy was better than Izaya, Shizuo growled. Tetsuya leapt from the roof to a telegraph pole, spinning around it until he touched base and sliced the bottom, the end falling towards Shizuo who caught it, ripping the electric wires away and tossing it towards Tetsuya, who dipped behind a building just in time.

Shizuo chased after him, not wanting to let this guy out of his sight now that he's found him. But when he turned the corner, Tetsuya stood there, already whipping his sword out and Shizuo barely had any time to dodge as the blade just grazed the skin of his shoulder.

Tetsuya's grin widen when Shizuo stumbled backwards, he saw the small beads of blood forming on his shoulder as his shirt was ripped. "Looks like I win." He sheathed his katana with a look of triumphant. There was a pause between them.

"You bastard!" Shizuo ripping a stop sign from the ground next to him and hurtling it towards Tetsuya, surprising him as he only just managed to duck out of the way.

"H-how?" Tetsuya seethed, "how are you still standing?" he unsheathed his katana, pointing the blade at Shizuo who was about ready to send him flying. "You should be dying now, so die already!" He leapt at him, blade out in front.

Suddenly, a knife blade shot past him, stopping him from his movements and they both turned to see Izaya standing there.

"I-Izaya?" Shizuo blinked, a little confused as to why he was there.

"Finally found you." Izaya smiled, holding a few knife blades in between his fingers.

"What are you doing here?" Shizuo asked, facing him fully. Izaya's eyes widen when he saw the slight graze on Shizuo shoulder and raced towards him.

"Are you ok? Your cut!" Izaya ripped open the sleeve and examined the slice, it didn't seem that bad but he didn't know what poison Tetsuya used so it was going to be difficult to judge the wound and what time he had.

"STOP IT!" Tetsuya leapt between them, but Shizuo pushed Izaya away so he didn't get cut. "No one touches Izaya but me!" Tetsuya stood in front of Shizuo, blade pointed to his throat. "Does your pea brain understand that? He's mine, he belongs to me and me alone, he's not allowed to be anyone else."

Shizuo narrowed his eyes. "Izaya doesn't belong to anyone, and he definitely doesn't belong to you. He's a human, not a belonging!"

"How could you understand? You don't understand what it means to love someone; you're a monster who is feared by everyone. A beast in human form that could easily destroy everything he touched, everyone he loved. I'm surprised you're not in jail for being a monster—"

A knife stabbed into his shoulder, Tetsuya gasped and looked behind him to see Izaya glaring death, "Shizu-chan isn't a monster. He's human." He twisted the blade and Tetsuya let out a yelp as blood splash out and begun running down his side and back. "Unlike you who is the truth monster."

He yanked the knife out of his shoulder and nodded towards Shizuo, who arched his fist back with a smirk as Izaya leapt out of the way. "I'm not holding back," he grinned.

His fist collided with Tetsuya's cheek, sending him flying into the wall of a shop, smashing it to pieces and let the rubble topple onto him as dust erupted from the hole.

However, Tetsuya soon stumbled out of the wreckage, sword still in hand as the other held his head, blood streaming down as he leaned against the wall for support.

Shizuo went to finish the job but Izaya stopped him. Shizuo turned to look at him and protest, but Izaya shook his head. "The awakusu group will finish the job. For now, let's go to shinra's to get your cut taken care of."

"Why? It's not that bad," Shizuo said. "It's just a cut."

They heard laughing as Tetsuya stumbled towards them, trembling from the shock. "There's nothing you can do, he's dead already. The poison is working its way through his body."

Shizuo blinked at the comment while Izaya stepped forward. "What kind of poison did you use exactly?" he asked.

"Arsenic," Tetsuya said with a winning smile.

They both stared at him flatly. A silence past through them as they stared at him. Tetsuya was just about to ask what was wrong when Izaya spoke instead.

"I've used poison dart frog and Shizu-chan still walked away." Izaya sighed. "If there's one thing you should know, it's that Shizu-chan isn't a normal human. His body can take a lot more than just a simple graze from arsenic." Shizuo stood there nodding with arms folded across his chest. "Anyway, the awakusu should be arriving any second now to take you away."

"W-wha—?" he was cut off by a sudden black sedan pulling up in front of him. Men in black suits filed out of the car and surrounded Tetsuya, then they began dragging him into the back when a man in a white suit stepped out, he smiled at Izaya.

"I thank you for your hard work," Shiki smiled. "You've done well, the both of you." he bowed slightly in thanks and headed back to the car. After a few seconds, they disappeared down the road and out of sight.

"Come on, we need to get you to Shinra so you can be treated." Izaya said.

"I'm fine," Shizuo said.

"At least get treated so you're not going to have problems." Izaya gripped Shizuo's hand and lead him towards Shinra's house.

"Hey—Izaya!" Shizuo snapped but was ignored; he could feel Izaya trembling in his hand even though his stride wasn't shaky. He gave it a gentle squeeze. "Don't worry ok, I'll be alright."

Even though he said that, Izaya still took him to Shinra's and he was treated easily. But now, Izaya felt a sudden weight lift from his shoulders as he smiled at Shizuo, who was currently arguing with Shinra about the antidote for his poison.

[Izaya, you seem different] Celty appeared next to him, showing him her message.

"Of course, I have nothing to fear now," he smiled, "I'm glad that everything turned out good, I wasn't sure that I could be free."

Celty wasn't exactly sure what he meant, but she was glad that he was smiling again, and even happier that this smile held no evil like usual.

…

It had been a year after the Tetsuya incident. Shizuo had moved into Izaya's apartment which was a lot bigger than his. But he still continued his job as Tom's body guard while Izaya went back to work. it was a lot better then hit apartment, mainly because they had more room to move around, especially when they were being very intimate which Izaya loved to tell Namie about just to see her reactions, which never failed to amuse him despite Shizuo's embarrassment whenever she looked at him weird.

And now, everything seemed to sort itself out.

The sun was setting and they both decided on a walk close to the beach, well Shizuo decided it. But there they were, Shizuo leading the way until they reached the lookout point where they could watch the sun set.

Shizuo leaned on the railing while Izaya laid his hands on it. "Wow, your right Shizu-chan, the sun is really pretty when setting over the ocean." Izaya smiled.

"Yeah," Shizuo turned towards Izaya and gulped, he had been planning this for the past three months and he still wasn't sure what to say or do. But now he was just going to wing it and hope for the best. "Hey, Izaya."

"Yeah?" Izaya turned to look at him, smiling.

Shizuo looked at the ground, a blush spread across his cheeks as he scratched the back of his head. "Well, u-um. We've been together now for more than a year and, u-um. Dammit!" he grunted.

"Shizu-chan, what are you saying?" Izaya tilted his head, making him look even cuter and made it even harder for Shizuo to say what he needed to say.

"W-well." he paused taking in a deep breath, screw it! He looked up and stared Izaya straight in the eye. "I'm not quite sure how long our relationship will last. But I want it to last a long time, forever if that's what it takes. I'll protect you from everything and I'll always be on your side. I don't want anyone else to torment you like the others did, so I'll always remain by your side, until death."

"S-Shizu-chan, did you just—" Izaya cut himself off.

"I've got a ring," Shizuo reached into his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box, he'd been saying up a lot of money to get it and bought it without Izaya knowing. He opened it up and showed off a thin, gleaming silver ring with gold patterns sprawled across it. Izaya gasped upon seeing it, his thoughts racing and his heart beat going a million miles an hour. "So will you?"

Tears brimmed as he shut his eyes tight and he nodded his head, "yes." He felt arms circle around his waist and drew him in close. He responded by wrapping his own arms around Shizuo as he cried happily.

"I love you." Shizuo whispered.

"I love you to," Izaya pulled back and kissed him bard on the lips, then buried his face back into Shizuo's chest as he felt the ring slip onto his right hand, ring finger. He was happy beyond belief.

Finally, he felt safe and loved and that all began with this man. This man to whom he hated for years, but never failed to amuse him and keep him guessing. He could never keep up with him. Even now, he was still unpredictable as ever.

But that was just fine with him. Because he loved Shizuo and Shizuo loved him. And right now, that was all he ever needed.

…

And finished, finally! Yay happy ending! I hope that you've enjoyed it until the end; I was thinking about adding more but I thought that I'd destroy the story and didn't want to push it.

But fear not, I have another story that will be out some time soon, not to sure when but soon.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Until next story.
