Creation of hope

Sleepless beauty.

For once in his life, Izaya was stunned to the point of silence; Shizuo Heiwajima cared about him...?

He blinked those dark chestnut orbs as he looked at the blonde's flushed face and tear stained cheeks, it was almost impossible not to believe him. "Why have you spent all of these years trying to kill me...?" Izaya asked, his voice barely louder than a whisper, he had to know if what Shizuo had said was really true.

The blonde sighed as he furiously rubbed his eyes with his sleeve, humiliated to have shown weakness like that. "I did it to get your attention, I wanted you to acknowledge my existence and remember me." He told him, his voice wavering slightly as he looked away, trying his hardest not to appear vulnerable but he couldn't help it. The man he had loved all this time was so close to death and he felt this was his last chance to tell him his true feelings. "I really do like you, Izaya..." Shizuo muttered as he clenched his fists. "Arghh!! Why does love always have to bite you in the ass?!" He yelled as he suddenly got up and thew the chair beside the bed across the room, shattering the window and causing cold air to rush in and fill the room.

The ravenette's eyes widened momentarily before the icy cold wind took over his body, causing him to shiver violently, his frail body trembling as he tried to tug the covers up over his head. "Nhh, Shizu-Chan..." He whimpered as his teeth began chattering violently. "H-Hold me..." He pleaded to the blonde who let out a shaky sigh before sliding into bed beside the other man and tugging him into a warm embrace, caging him against his chest within his strong arms. "I've got you..." He muttered as he pressed his chin against the top of Izaya's head, smiling slightly as he felt the other male relax in his arms and nuzzle against him lightly. "S-Shizu-Chan...I..." Izaya started quietly as he clutched Shizuo's arm, holding onto it as he felt a sudden wave of fatigue wash over him. "I..."
Shizuo blinked in anticipation as he listened intently to the ravenette, his heart beating slightly faster than usual. "You what? Spit it out already...!" The blonde snapped impatiently as he stared down at the other male who was struggling to keep his heavy eyelids up.

"Nh...I..." Izaya tried his hardest to get his words out before a deep slumber overtook his weak body, sending him into a pitch black world of silence. "..." Shizuo started to shake him. "Hey, flea...! Wake up and answer me, damn it!" He growled in frustration as he squeezed him hard. "Hey! Don't ignore me!" He grumbled before giving up with a sigh and simply holding him. "Don't ignore me anymore... Don't block me out, okay...? I love you, Izaya Orihara." He told the unconscious man as he leaned in and pressed the lightest of kisses against his matted black hair.
