You cracked open your eyes slowly, the morning sunlight blinding you. You groaned as you turned to your side, ignoring the pair of arms wrapped around your waist as you pulled the covers up to your face. You snuggled up comfortably against your source of warmth and continued sleeping.

...

...

...?!

"Izaya!" you screamed loudly as you raised foot and kicked him off your bed. The said noiret grunted as he landed on the floor, now awake from your sudden kick. You glared at him as he yawned, running his hand through his locks as he did. Izaya gazed sleepily at you. Blood rushed to your face as your mind began to register what happened.

"What's the matter now, (Nickname)? I was having a great dream where you and I were having a blast–" You held a hand up, irritation written on your face.

"There are some things better left unsaid," you growled, a hand grabbing tightly onto a pillow. His carmine eyes stared into yours, analyzing your reaction. You furrowed your brows as you saw his trademark grin make its way onto his face.

...Damn him.

"Aw, how cute! (Nickname), there's no need to be embarrassed after all the things we did last night~!" he lied. Izaya made a little heart from his fingers as he said, "Isn't it great, (Nickname)? Our love finally blossomed!" To be honest with himself, he really did wish that it had happened. No matter how isolated he may seem, your love for him would be all he needed. Though, with you rejecting all his approaches, it may turn out that he would be alone for a long time.

"...I hate your voice," you murmured, glancing down at him with sad eyes.

"That's quite the insult, (Nickname). I love how you're so honest!" he chuckled. You frown deepened as you lifted the pillow you were clinging onto and threw it at him. "How excitingly violent of you!"

"No matter how much you perfect that mask of yours, it's so easy to read you," you informed him. His eyes flashed with an unknown emotion as he continued smiling.

"What are you talking about?"

"You can drop the act," you stated, knowing how painful his emotions made him feel. He sighed.

"You think I'm extremely lonely, (Name)," Izaya voiced your thoughts, his cheerfulness melting away quickly. Unlike your usual self, you slowly nodded. "I don't want your sympathy." He sat on the floor, a leg propped up for his arm to rest on it.

"Then don't be alone anymore," you suggested, staring hard at him.

He breathed out, adverting his gaze to the floor as he said, "Don't even try the impossible."

"Then I'll be with you," you retaliated. Izaya's scarlet eyes shot up to meet yours. "It's not impossible. I'm surprised someone like you hasn't noticed it yet. No matter what happens to us, we've always found each other. I met you at age fifteen and then at sixteen, I moved. We crossed paths on the street at eighteen and we found ourselves living close by in Ikeburo at twenty. And now at twenty-one, you fake your injuries to leech off me."

"Couldn't you have continued with a different approach? The mood was quite good," he complained as he crawled back onto your bed. You scoffed at him.

"As if I'd let you rope me into doing something I'd regret. I won't let you take advantage of me when I'm spilling out my emotions," you retorted, your eyes following Izaya as he made his way closer to you. He quickly pounced on you, catching your wrists and pinning them on either side of your head.

"But I'm sure you won't mind if I keep leeching off of you," he continued, looking down at you with a grin on his face.

"I'm not one to complain."

"Then don't mind if I do," he said as he leaned down to capture your lips and entrance you. It lasted a few seconds, but it was all the informant needed to feel completed. His body collapsed against yours, his arms moving to snake around your waist and his head resting on your chest. "I don't know how I feel about having an emotionless woman as my supposed lover, but I suppose it'll have to do," he teased.

"Don't go trying to start a fight with me. I won't hesitate to punch you in the face," you threatened.

"You were so cute earlier too!"

"Go back to sleep. I'll kill you if you wake me up again on my day off." A soft smile found its way onto his face as he tightened his hold on you, not wanting to let go for even a second. After all, this warmth of yours was all he needed to live in a world where humanity hated his very existence.

He'd never give it up for anything.

"I love you, (Name)," he murmured softly, finding comfort in snuggling close to you.

"...I know."
