Me: Final chapter done! For those wondering as to what Erika and I were singing in the previous chapter, it's called This Guy's In Love With You Pare by Parokya ni Edgar. I suddenly recall how it suits those two perfectly. ;)

Shizuo: Yeah. Except you suck at singing.

Me: I'll have you know that when I sing, I bring rain too cool us in a hot weather.

"Uhm…Shizu-chan?-"

"What do you usually do at this time?"

"Well, I go to the top of the tallest building in Ikebukuro and just observe my precious humans."

"Well then let's go there." Shizuo picked up paced while dragging Izaya behind him. They made their way to the top and sat on the edge of the building, admiring the breathtaking view of the city. Yes. Shizuo and Izaya are not fighting. They're at peace just chilling with each other's company. They sat in silence until Izaya broke it.

"This is the best birthday I've had in years. I'm really happy about Erika's effort to throw a party for me" he said staring below him.

"I think this is the first time I've ever seen you without that stupid grin on your face. You really enjoyed yourself, huh?"

"Yeah. Actually I did really enjoy myself. It's rare you know for things like this to happen. Since I live on my own." Shizuo noticed how his eyes seemed to hold a little bit of sadness. He also took note of how the city lights made his ruby eyes glitter like a gem.

"Don't your sisters visit you?" Izaya shook his head.

"It's the other way around. I visit them. My own sisters don't remember my birthday. I'll tell you honestly, I'm sick of having to remind people about it. It's nice how this year, at least someone did remember."

Shizuo nodded in understanding.

"Hey flea, what did you mean by me being there for you?"

"I like to entertain the thought that you being there, always ready for a chase, meant that you remembered."

"Even if I didn't remember it at all?"

Izaya chuckled. "I won't care if everyone else forgets, as long as Shizuo's ready to chase me with such hatred that's good enough for me."

"Next time around, I won't forget."

Without hesitation, he leaned in and sealed their lips together. Stunned by such an unpredictable act, he made no move in stopping it and duly kissed back. Izaya broke it off first, smiling.

"This is definitely the best birthday I've ever had."

~.~.~.~.~.~Extended Ending~.~.~.~.~.~.~

"What'd I tell you guys?" Erika said in a triumphant tone showing Kadota and the rest of the gang a picture of the deadly duo kissing she had taken with her phone.

"Well…I'll be damned…" Kadota mumbled in disbelief.

"Now pay up!" Each member handed over 10,000 yen from their wallets in defeat.

Shizuo: Anyone else notice how she's making everyone forget his birthday in the story when in the first place it was her that forgot it and now her redirecting all the blame to the other characters?

Izaya: Looks like the protozoan finally got a brain~

Shizuo: *nerve pop* Are you looking for a fight?!

Me: Ah~ Love. ^_^
