Dullahan's groom

Ch 1

"No, no, a little bit more to the right." As ordered the movers lifted the heavy sofa off the ground and inched it to the right. "Hmmm... little more" They're corrected again; they've lost count of it already, not only trough moving the couch. "Izaya, that's already fine, they can leave" the blond scolds, lifting a stack of five boxes, the movers thinking its clothes. "Fine... just move it more to the left where you first placed it then you can leave" the raven informs, earning a suppressed scowl from the two hired movers. Izaya sees the two employees out followed by Shizuo who placed the boxes down near the computer table; boxes contained all of Izaya's laptops and heavy hard covered books and folders. Izaya stood at the back of the door, leaning on it and releasing a sigh, they had to start unpacking now.

"Tired already?" His lover asked, reaching for the raven and pulling him in his arms. "A little... you ruined my fun" he complains referring to him teasing the movers. "I wanted to be alone with you as quickly as possible" Shizuo replies as a whisper, his hand snaking down his new roommates back. "Hnng" Izaya lets out a relaxed moan from the touch. "Shizu, we have to unpack" he reminds the blond and motioning to push himself gently away from the taller man. "Hmmm... fine" the blond agrees taking Izaya by surprise, Shizuo has been craving the raven almost every day right after the first time they did it. Izaya points a confused look at the blond who in return slowly connects their foreheads and whispers "we're marking each room our own way, right after" Izaya continuous to look confused but after a few seconds, he finally understood what the blond meant and blushed a very dark shade of red, half-heartedly punching Shizuo in the arm for being such a pervert "idiot" he replies, Shizuo only chuckles.

"Need any help over there?" Shizuo asked, looking over the informant as he connected the wires for his computer and opened up all the boxes filled with books next to the huge shelf. "I'm fine, go unpack the ones inside the bedroom" he orders, not even looking over his lover. "Okay... but call me if you need to lift anything heavy, please do not lift them up yourself" the blond warns now headed for the bedroom. "Yes... I'll leave the books for the top shelf to you" the raven shrugs, he wasn't that weak for the brute to worry about. Well, that is the reason. Well, not the only reason. After Izaya's apartment and office caught on fire, Shizuo insisted more and pleaded with his knees on the floor on them living together so he can protect him more, though Izaya received offers from his boss, Shiki-san, of a new place he declined and decided to go with Shizuo instead, Izaya still accepted the new office the yakuza offered though, he couldn't meet his clients at their home.

To Izaya's surprise, the argument about where and how many rooms there'd be was long. Shizuo insisting of only one bedroom and nearer Shinra's apartment just in case while Izaya angrily requesting for the two of them to have separate bedrooms and nearer the station for his work. Shizuo won in the end though, as much Izaya wanted privacy, Shizuo argued that he'd just follow him to whichever room he went. So, one living room, dining room, kitchen, two bathrooms, one home office, and one bedroom with a king sized bed. Just like any simple family apartment.

Observing the room after finishing unpacking, Shizuo leaves the bedroom to check on Izaya, his jaw dropping as he opens the door. The home office was flooded with paper with Izaya probably under. "Izaya?" Shizuo calls, rushing to the center and throwing the pieces of paper out of his way. "What?" Izaya appears behind Shizuo, holding two cups of steaming coffee. "Iza-ugh... you got me worried for a sec, what's with all this?" The blond asked, picking up a mixture of crumpled paper due to his hands. "Oh, that's all trash, I no longer need them. I'll clean them up after a little break" he replies, handing Shizuo his coffee as the blond approached him.

"The bedroom looked nice, good job" he states, smiling happily and turning to head to the couch. His walk stopped by Shizuo as the blond grabbed the informant's waist with one hand. "Should we head there?" He suggests. "Hmmm... fine" Izaya accepts. "But... make it quick okay? The others might be here soon" he reminds making Shizuo frown. "Tch, can't be helped..." he shrugs, taking hold of Izaya's hand and making the raven carry his coffee, with one strong hand, Shizuo lifts Izaya up bridal style. "Shizu!" Izaya yells as he blushed from the action. "Now then, let's get started" he announces as the two of them disappeared into the bedroom.

"What? You have a job?" Shinra whines, approaching his love. [It won't take long, I'll head over to the place once I finish, go on without me] she typed and shoved at Shinra's face. "Awwww, and I wanted to show Shizuo and Izaya that they weren't the only ones that are super lovey dovey from the beginning..." he whines some more. "...like, we ring the doorbell and when they open it they'll see us holding hands or I'm embracing yo-" sentenced stopped by a jab in the stomach. [Don't be stupid, I'll definitely go to their place after the job, just tell them I'd be a little late] Celty made Shinra read. Getting on her bike she types again [don't think of starting without me though, I plan to have Izaya teach me cook a little] she informs. "That? Is that for my sa-" Shinra stops as the sound of the bike starts, cutting him off.

"Take care now my dear!" Shinra waves as the black rider jumps down from the veranda with her bike, an echoed sound of a horse filling the doctor's ears as she left. Roaming through the streets for a delivery job, she changes her direction after spotting the traffic police officers she was so scared of and stops the bike to hide in a dark alley. Waiting for them to pass, she continues to head to her way after a few seconds. Meeting at the designated place she hands the delivery to the man, he was wearing a white suit, that Celty couldn't help think weird. The man looked completely refined and elegant that it didn't seem normal for someone like him to make transactions with Celty.

She motions on leave, getting on her bike and disappearing from the dark alley. The man in the suit stands still for a minute before walking away, ignoring the muffled cries hidden in the dark blanket of shadow he removes one of his piercings and with one swift movement turning into a gray scythe, slashing the blanket of shadow and silencing the cries. Though there were real bodies inside, instead of blood, light blue smokes appeared from the shadows and collected at the man's scythe. He leaves the bag that Celty handed him in the alley and walks away.

So she doesn't remember me...
