Falling In Love With A Flea (Shizaya. IzayaxShizou)

Izaya

Shizuo POV

Ever since Izaya had that nightmare a couple nights ago, he'd been acting strange. He seemed jumpy and nervous. He still wouldn't talk about it, and I had already promised myself that I would wait. It was frustrating, knowing that he was going through something and I couldn't help. But Izaya was stubborn. Once he got it in his head that something was true, it was incredibly hard to change that. I was confident that he would get better though, eventually he would let me help him. As Izaya paced around the kitchen, waiting for his food to be done in the microwave, he seemed thoughtful. I stood from my seat on the couch, and walked over to him, picking him up and setting him on the counter. He watched me, surprised at my sudden attention.

"You were gonna make a trench in the floor." I joked, referring to his recent pacing. He blushed pink and looked down at his lap, picking at his nails in embarrassment. I smirked and walked to him, opening his knees slightly so his legs wrapped around my waist. I hugged him as he sat on the counter and I glanced up to see him smiling. He ran his hand absentmindedly through my hair as his other hand wrapped around my shoulder and placed on my back, hugging me closer to him. I kissed his collarbone softly and he giggled, shaking his head at me.

"What're you doing Shizu?" He asked, looking down at me playfully. I grinned and nuzzled into his chest, I knew this was incredibly pathetic, but I wanted to help if only to take his mind off of whatever was bothering him. I sighed and held close to him, letting him play with my hair as he hummed a song I didn't know. We stayed like this for a bit, enjoying the silence and the warmth from eachother. Unfortunately we were interuppted by the sudden persistent beeping of the microwave. I smirked as I felt Izaya jump at the sudden noise. I pulled away reluctantly and helped him down from the counter. He rubbed his eyes and walked to the micro wave. I could've sworn he had muttered something like "damn it Shizu-Chan." But I couldn't know for sure. Probably put him to sleep again. I thought, chuckling softly at the notion. I watched as Izaya pulled the food from the microwave and set it on the counter, shaking his hand and putting his finger to his mouth. I knew he had burned himself and I shook my head, walking to his side.

"You okay?" I asked, pulling his finger away from his mouth and examining it carefully.

"I'm fine Shizu. It's just a small burn, not like I cut my finger off or something." He huffed, pulling his hand out of my grasp. He rolled his eyes at my worry and went back to preparing food. I watched over his shoulder until he finally turned to me and ushered me out of the kitchen, exclaiming that I was 'giving him shivers.' I chuckled and loomed in the living room, flipping through channels on the TV trying to find something to watch. I finally decided to watch a horror movie named The Reckoning just as Izaya brought out two plates of food for us. We both sat on the couch and ate our food quickly, our eyes never leaving the screen. We finished our food and the plates lay on the coffee table as Izaya curled up next to me and rest his head on my shoulder, jumping occasionally and hiding in my neck even when he tried to act as though the movie didn't scare him. After it was finally over, Izaya had been hiding in my neck for the past ten minutes. The last part was probably one of the creepiest, so I could understand his hesitance to look to the screen. We finalmy stood from the couch and headed to our room. As we both sank into our bed, we realized that the light had been left on. We both shook our head no at the same time and I sighed. We decided to play rock paper scissors, fortunately I won and Izaya groaned. He crawled to the edge of the bed and jumped up. He turned off the light and then, like a scared rabbit, he sprinted back across the room and jumped onto the bed, scurrying under the covers and cuddling close to me. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him, silently promising him my protection. I held him close and waited for him to fall asleep. Luckily, I wasn't awoke by Izaya being startled or stressed and he seemed to sleep soundly throughout the night. When we finally woke up, I found Izaya cuddled against my chest. I yawned and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes as I used the other hand to gently run my fingers through Izaya's midnight black hair. He woke up and groaned softly, he sat up and rubbed his eyes. I looked up to him, smiling at the bedhead I had created and I not dared admit that he looked cute. We went throughout our morning routine and Izaya had continued to be on his phone a lot. I ignored it, but it was starting to really worry me. What if he wasn't just reading messages? What if he was working again? Was he ready for that? He was much betterb but I wasn't sure he could just pick up where he left off. He was still having nightmares and still was jumpy and nervous at times.

Izaya POV

I had given my mysterious client a bit more info and I was considering taking a chance. I wanted to see who this person was. I wouldn't set up a meeting of course, because this client could want to kill me. I was thinking about spying on him. I would send him a street and time that 'Izaya' would be said to appear. I myself would stay in the shadows and I would look for anyone who I didn't recognise from the city and who was looking around. It would be tricky, but I at least would know who I am up against. I knew Shizuo wouldn't like me working and I knew he was beginning to figure it out. But I couldn't stop. And I was particularly happy that I started when I did, because now I knew that someone was looking for me. I debated on telling him the truth, but I was still undecided. I didn't want him getting into this. I would only drag him down with me if I messed up. Information had always been key, and I had to get this information to potentially save myself. I clicked my phone to sleep for the time being, I needed more time to think about this. As I wandered through the apartment I suddenly got an idea. Tuna always made me feel better when my mind was all confuddled. I walked over to Shizuo and ducked under the newspaper he was reading to wrap my arms around him and set my head to his chest. I looked up to him with a small smirk playing on my lips. "Do you wanna go visit Simon?" I asked playfully. He laughed and leaned down to kiss my forehead.

"Sure." He agreed, smiling softly. I smiled with him and then ducked once again, grabbing my jacket and pulling it over my arms and shoulders. I just hoped we didn't run into Erika........
