And... Here it is. The sequel for the sequel. Enjoy!
Shizuo learnt a few things that day. For example, how Izaya seemed to melt every time he had his lower lip nibbled during a kiss. It all felt so good Shizuo had a hard time convincing himself that it was real. But there he was, hugging Izaya's body. They were sitting on the floor, Shizuo against the wall and Izaya against his body. The blond was slowly caressing his waist and belly over his clothes, laying gentle kisses over Izaya's hair. It felt perfect.
Another thing Shizuo learned was what Izaya's father looked like. They scattered when they heard footsteps coming closer and tried to look unsuspicious. Izaya's father was similar to him, but he had more manly traces. His face wasn't so round, his eyes weren't as big as his and he was taller. His personality was another story, though. He looked upright, angry and stressed, just the opposite from Izaya's carefree lifestyle.
"Izaya? Who is that?" That time when Shizuo and the other boys came over to study, his father wasn't there. Shizuo was tense about meeting Izaya's father, but to think he was thinking how nice would be to grab his son's ass a few minutes ago was kind of embarrassing. So he tried to be as gentlemanly as he could, standing up and quickly bowing to the brunet's father.
"My name is Heiwajima Shizuo, Orihara-san." Izaya's father stared at him for a few seconds and Izaya muttered.
"He's a friend from school, Father."
"And why isn't him at school, then?" He raised an eyebrow and Shizuo decided immediately that he didn't like Izaya's father. But before he could open his mouth to ask why it mattered to him, Izaya said.
"He said the teacher was sick." Shizuo was glad Izaya prevented him from being aggressive. But damn, the look his father was giving him now… Like he was a bad influence, was annoying too. He definitely didn't like Izaya's father.
"I see. Let's go. Get your things." Izaya quickly put his bag over his shoulders and got the box in his arms, which Shizuo got closer to him and whispered when his dad turned to leave.
"Let me carry that for you." Shizuo couldn't help but being a bit overprotective towards Izaya. After everything he went through to have him, he felt that he had to protect him. Later Izaya would laugh at that; everyone knows Izaya is just as dangerous as Shizuo. Izaya shook his head, muttering back.
"It's just some clothes, it's not heavy. Don't worry." Then they heard Izaya's dad clearing his throat and stop glancing at each other, and Izaya quickened his pace, getting out of the apartment. Shizuo followed him right behind. Downstairs they loaded the trunk of the car while Shizuo watched. He was feeling useless and it bothered him to no end. The air was tense and he could feel the way Izaya's father looked at him. He was a bit too rough with Izaya too, but there was nothing he could do. When they finished it, his dad got in the car and the brunet walked to Shizuo, murmuring.
"Hey… I'll see you tomorrow then." For a moment, Shizuo smiled forgetting all about his father and focusing on him. It was amazing to think that Izaya looked embarrassed or unsure of what to say, though he didn't know what to do too.
"Ok. Good luck with everything. And take care, alright?" Izaya smirked in response and winked at him.
"Yeah, I'll try. See ya!" Then he walked and entered in his father's care, who didn't waste another single glance at Shizuo and they drove away.
Walking home, Shizuo grinned all the way home feeling like a girl; but he couldn't care less. He spent all day long deciding if he should or shouldn't send a message to Izaya. He opted for not sending; he didn't want to sound clingy or desperate. He laid on his bed, smiling to himself, re-watching today's situation on his head.
On the next day, the first thing his mother said in the breakfast table was how overjoyed Shizuo looked. He couldn't help but grinning at this and he saw Kasuka smiling with the corner of his eyes.
It was true. He had never felt so happy before.
Shizuo had totally forgotten about Kadota and Shinra. So when he walked into class the next morning, he was surprised to see both of them grinning like idiots to him. His cheeks flushed immediately.
"So how was yesterday, Shizuo-kun?" Shizuo walked past them and sat on his seat trying to ignore his heated face. He only growled in response.
"S-Shut up!" Kadota wasn't crazy to keep bothering Shizuo with questions, but Shinra was.
"You really ran all the way to his apartment? Good thing Kadota is smarter than me. Yesterday I almost told you Izaya wasn't moving to somewhere far away, but then he said that thing about Izaya leaving Ikebukuro and you had to see your face! It was almost like… Ugh!" Shizuo was aware that even his ears were probably burning right now so he shut Shinra up by poking his stomach.
"Shut the fuck up…"
"But it was so romantic! I would do the same for my dearest Celty!" Shizuo poked him again, harder this time.
"Shut up!" And this time, he complied, whining about the pain. Then Izaya came in.
"Good morning! ~" All three of them raised their heads to the brunet; Shinra grinning all over again, Shizuo smiling lightly and Kadota too. Kadota was well aware that asking things to Izaya wouldn't work out. He would just have some kind of snarky reply to everything so before Shinra could even start rambling, he asked.
"So how's everything?"
"A mess." Izaya sighed. "But other than that, it's all good." Maybe it was just his imagination, but Shizuo was almost sure Izaya glanced at him. That made him smile all over again. Classes were the same as always. Boring albeit distracting, especially when the person you kissed all morning long on the past day is sitting right behind you.
Shizuo was partially sad that Izaya hadn't said anything to him yet. Though it was probably better this way, to keep it discreet. During break the four of them went to the roof to eat. Shinra and Kadota glanced to Shizuo and Izaya all the time but they simply pretended they didn't notice. Shizuo was dying to touch Izaya again. It was so hard to hold himself back when Izaya was sitting so close to him. Fortunately, Kadota is way more reasonable than Shinra and after eating, he managed to convince Shinra he needed his biology homework and both of them went back to class. Shizuo thanked Kadota on his head and he noticed he had no idea of what to do.
"So…" He began, turning to face Izaya again. He didn't have to say anything; Izaya immediately put his arms around the blond's neck and kissed him. The blond kissed back, feeling that he was getting better at this. Now that he was much calmer, he could feel perfectly Izaya's tongue with his, using this opportunity to explore his mouth all over again. He raised both his hands, hugging the smaller man's body and pulling him closer. Unfortunately, the bell rang in a few minutes and they had to go back to class. Shizuo was feeling all happy nonetheless.
Later, Shizuo went walking back home accompanied by Kadota. He wasn't sure why, but Kadota said he wanted to talk a bit and also, he had some people to meet. The blond didn't ask anything further; he was sure Kadota would tell him if he wanted to. Instead, Kadota decided to try another thing.
"So… You look really happy. That's good. I don't know if you noticed, but during the few last weeks you were always with a frown on your face."
"Yeah, I am. And… Thank you for yesterday. I-I mean…" Shizuo raised his hand, caressing the back of his head. "I would've never told what I feel for Izaya if it wasn't for you guys."
"Hey, no problem. I'm sorry for not telling you the truth."
"Nah. It was a good white lie."
"I hope you know I only did that because I already knew that he felt something for you too." That called Shizuo's attention.
"You knew? How?"
"Well… You know Shinra and I have cleaning duties together. Once he was all nervous but when I asked about it he made me promise I wouldn't tell anyone. Then he said that first Izaya asked some things about you and stuff and later on he admitted having feelings for you and he couldn't just hold back the secret so he told me. Which means… We both kind of knew what you two wanted."
Shizuo was silent, listening to it all. So he guessed Izaya really was on the same condition as he was. Feeling rejected was not a good thing at all. Shizuo was looking down when something occurred to him.
"Hey, did you call that girl yet?"
Kadota's cheeks flushed immediately. And Shizuo grinned to himself, glad that he wasn't theonly one embarrassed.
"No, not yet."
"You should. We'll be in vacation in a few weeks… Thank god. I'm tired."
"Yeah…" And just like that, silence fell between them. Finally they passed by a bookstore and Kadota said.
"I'm staying here. See you tomorrow."
Shizuo only nodded. "See you." And walked home.
The days flew by and finally, they were at the last day before school vacation. All students were dying to get out of there while that old fart of a teacher who didn't shut up. Finally the bell rang and everybody scattered. Including Kadota, who said he was going to ask Nadeshiko to go out with him personally. Shizuo and Izaya looked to Shinra who was smiling like an idiot to both of them.
"And what are we going to do?" Both boys raised their eyebrows and ditched Shinra in a second. It was hard at all. Izaya said he saw Celty downstairs. Then, he and Shizuo ran for it. Of course, Shinra came up again soon after looking for them and they had to hide on the closet along with brooms and cleaning products. Both of them were panting and chuckling.
"You think we missed him?" Shizuo asked not louder than a whisper.
"I guess so." Still, they decided to stay just a little longer in there. It was dark and none of them moved because they were afraid to make noise. Finally Shizuo noted how close they were. He could feel the warmth of Izaya's body through his clothes and running was no longer the motive for his panting but the realization of how their bodies were intertwined with each others. After a few seconds of panting, Izaya whispered.
"Shizu-chan…" And the blond held his chin gently, tilting his head upwards so he could kiss his lips directly.
