Love

                                    

                                          



I got up with Shizuo that next morning and ate breakfast with him. "While your at work I'm gonna go over to Shinra's." I look up at him to see he has frozen just as hes putting the fork in his mouth. I hold back a laugh. "What about your ears and tail?" "I'll just put my hood up and tuck my tail in my pants." He nods his head then looks at the clock, "shit I'm running late!" He jumps out of his chair and puts on his shoes. "Its only 7 in the morning and your already cursing Shizu-chan!" I chuckle as he glares at me. "I'll see you later. Don't get into trouble while your out!" I laugh as he rushes out the door. I finish my breakfast and put on a gray sweatshirt. Its Shizuo's so its really big. I have to stop at my apartment and grab some clothes. I don't have shoes so I just borrow a pair of socks and put on the hood to cover my face and tuck away my tail. As I start walking I people watch. I haven't been outside in a while and I'm enjoying the noises of the city. Its a nice warm spring day and people are busy. I get to Shinra's and knock. "Hey Izaya come on in!" "Morning Shinra." I go and sit on his couch and he sits on the one across from me. "So what are you here for?" "Well I wanted to talk." I didn't really plan on how I wanted this to go. I can't just go, 'Hey Shinra, so lately I've noticed that I have a crush on Shizuo!' Psshh! Yeah right! "Ok so what did you want to talk about?" "Shizuo." "What about him?" Damn it! Stupid mouth work! "Izaya? Is everything ok?" He looks concerned. I put my face in my hands. "I don't know whats wrong with me lately. We've been getting really close and getting along and I like hanging out with him. I sometimes get flustered and nervous when I'm around him and I just don't know what to do." I sigh. "Sounds like to me your in love." I look through my fingers and see Shinra smiling like a idiot. "This isn't funny Shinra!" I grown and put my face back into my hands. I feel the couch next to me sink in and I feel a hand on my shoulder, "Wow your a mess. This really has you emotional." "Iv'e never felt like this before and for once I don't have any idea on what to do." "Well you could tell him." I jump up, "are you crazy?! I can't do that!" I feel my face heat up and he smiles at me, "sure you can. I think that you turning into a cat has brought you two to the point where I'd say you guys are friends." I give him a weird look, "no I'm serious! The way he acts towards you is nice compared to a month ago! Also when he called me the other night when you were in pain he sounded really concerned and worried!" I slump down, "yeah but that doesn't change all the stuff I did to him in the past." "Izaya listen, you may have done some bad things but you and Shizuo are both humans." I look at him as he continues, "If you see that your in love with him means you have a heart and Shizuo has one to. If you try and change, I think he is willing to forgive you." He puts his hand on my shoulder and I smile, "ya know Shinra, it scares me sometimes how smart you are." "Well I do have my moments." He grins and I push him away, then I remember when I made that call. "I might have already started to change." "What do you mean?" "Well last week I was thinking of ways to make Shizuo's life easier and I kinda paid off his debts to Ikabukuro." "ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?!?" I flinch at the loudness of his voice. "How much money did you pay off?" "All of it......" Shinra jumps up and throws his hands in the air, "Hes lost his mind!" I stand up and follow him into the kitchen, "I have not and the debt was my fault. I'm the one who provokes him in our fights." I tilt my head as he rubs his temples, "Yeah I know that but not all the debts were during your fights." "Well consider it a bonus." "Ok how much money was all of it." "That's my business." "Do you still have any money left?" "I have enough to keep me going till I get my business back up." He sighs, "Does he know?" I shake my head, "He's bound to find out soon." "Izaya you are crazy." He laughs and I just roll my eyes. We talk for a little longer then I leave. I still have to get some things from my apartment. Shinra gave me my key and my clothes that I wore the day I got turned into a cat and I put those on as well as my shoes. That day I didn't have my jacket so I continued to wear Shizuo's sweatshirt. It smells like him. I blush at my thoughts and unlock my front door. I look around and see everything is in its rightful place. I head to my room and grab a bag and stuff clothes and my laptop into it, as well as my toothbrush. As I'm heading back to Shizuo's I see him walking with Tom. I smile and creep up behind him. "Well I'll see you tomorrow Shizuo." "Later." Tom walks off and I jump onto Shizuo's back, "WHAT THE HELL!!!!!" He grabs me by the hood and puts me in front of his face, "Izaya what the hell?! I was just about to beat the shit of who every decided to jump me!" I chuckle, "now, now Shizuo, violence isn't the answer." I smirk at the raging look hes giving me. "Don't push it flea." "Waa!" He flings me onto his back and I latch onto him. I hear him chuckle and I smile, "How was work?" "It was ok. Just don't like people who can't pay there debts." I nod my head. "How was visiting Shinra?" "It was good." "What did you want to talk to him about?" I'm glad he can't see my red face. "Its a secret." He sighs, "I'll find out eventually." I almost jump out of my skin as his phone goes off. He tries to hide his laughter. I glare and he puts me down. "Hello? What? How'd that happen? Oh." He looks at me confused, "I see, yes thank you." He shuts his phone and doesn't say anything. "Shizuo?" I tilt my head. "You paid off my debts." He says it plane an simple while looking straight at me and for once, I can't tell what hes feeling, and I don't like it. "Well it was my fault that you destroyed a lot of things so I felt like I owed it to you." He just stairs and I tense up. What is he feeling?  "I don't understand, you felt like you owed it to me?" "After all the shit I've put you through, yeah, I owed it to you." "Why?" "Well I hope that I'm not the only one who's noticed but we haven't been fighting. We've been getting along and well....." I look away and will my face not to get hot. "I've noticed." He says and I nod. "Good. Shizuo I.... I don't want to fight with you anymore. I want us to be friends." I can't look at him. I'm afraid at what I might see. "I think I can live with that flea." I turn toward him and see that hes smiling. I blush. Hes really hot when he smiles. After that we walk home in silence. Nothing more needs to be said. 
                          
I jump awake from on the couch panting and hot. Sweat is dripping down my body and my face is red like a tomato. I grunt as I move my legs. Stupid dirty dreams! I haven't had a dirty dream sense I was in high school and for me to have one tonight, about Shizuo just makes it worse. I blush even redder at the thought. I get up and go into the bathroom and turn on a cold shower. I quickly strip and get in. I lean my head against the shower wall and stand there. The cold water feels good against my hot body and my erection eventually disappears. I blame it on the cat hormones. Once I've calmed my body down I get out and dry off. I put on my clothes and peek into Shizuo's room to hear him slightly snoring. I giggle and go back to sleep on the couch with Shizuo's sweatshirt.
