Monstrous Love [Shizaya (Sequel to Psychopathic Love)]

Chapter 16: A Day in the Life of Zenko

Zenko's POV

"Shizu-chan, you really hurt me last night." I look up from my book to see my fathers walk in the room. They must be talking about sex again.

"I didn't do anything," he says. "You hurt yourself."

"No I didn't! I can't fuck myself!" Papa argues. I knew it had to be about that.

Daddy looks over and notices my presence. "Izaya," he growls.

He smirks at Daddy and comes over to sit my me. "How was school today, Zenko?"

"Good," I reply.

"Just remember if you ever need help with something to ask me and not Daddy because he's too stupid."

I smile, "Okay."

"Hey," Daddy says. He flicks Papa in the head, then sits on the other side of me. "I can help you, too. He may be better at some stuff, but I can help, too."

"But Papa told me that the only things you were good at were P.E. strength tests."

Papa laughs and Daddy glares at him before looking back at me. "That's not true. I got fairly good grades."

"By good grades you mean not failing?" Papa asks.

He glares at him more. "No, I didn't. I meant good grades. Above average."

"Shizu-chan, the only places you're above average are in a fight and in bed," he says, winking slightly at the second one.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I feign innocence.

"It means that I fall asleep really easily," Daddy tells me.

Papa slightly chuckles at the answer and Daddy reaches past me to swat him. I'm pretty sure Papa knows that I've been pretending to be this naïve. He's pretty smart and observant and, when Daddy isn't around, he really doesn't have any filter.

"Anyway~" Papa says, "Since we can all agree that Daddy is stupid, lets move on."

"I'm not stupid," Daddy growls.

Papa ignores him and tackles me. "I like you more than Daddy. Let's abandon him."

"Hey, you shouldn't be telling him to abandon me. He might believe it," Daddy scolds Papa.

"So we're not going to abandon Daddy?" I ask, playing along.

"We are," Papa tells me and pulls me into his lap as he sits up. "Don't worry. He's a failure at life so we'll see him again. Except he'll be on the streets, begging to come back, but we'll laugh and be on our merry way!"

"Izaya," Daddy growls and picks up a small table on the side of the couch.

Papa moves me in front of him as a shield. "If you throw something at me, you'll hurt Zenko, too."

He glares at Papa, but tosses the table to the side. The table explodes into shards of wood.

"You'll have to clean up whatever you just broke," Papa points out. "You have a young child and a blind lover in your midst."

"More like a blind idiot," he mutters.

"I can still hear."

"Good."

We sit in silence for a bit. Even though they were insulting each other seconds ago, there is no tension in the air. I feel like they argue more than the average couple, but they deeply love each other.
