MyraHellsing, thanks a lot for beta-reading this! =) And thanks to everyone for their lovely reviews, they cheer me up.

Umm... I tried to write an angsty story but I failed x) after all, I had to write the continuation of Simon's reaction.


One Step: Final Step

"Caviar sushi?"

"Try it, Mika-chan!"

"Hmmm…" Mikado hesitated for a moment. "Is it good?"

"It's very delicious! But not as delicious as you are~"

"Umm… ok, I'll try it." As soon as Mikado reached for the mysterious sushi, Kida took it away and devoured it.

"You hesitate, you lose! HMM! Yummy!"

"Kida-kun!" Mikado whined.

"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry! Hehe. Ah… excuse me, Mr. Heiwajima?" he stared at Shizuo.

"What?"

"… nothing!" He pulled a smile and continued to stare at the poor plastic chopsticks that now looked like two small accordions stuck on the plate. Kida was pretty sure that if those chopsticks were metallic, they would have likely broken the plate by now.

"Great. Now I have no chopsticks…" Shizuo muttered.

Izaya made sure that Mikado was facing the other way and pushed his chopsticks towards Mikado's elbow. When said boy turned around, his chopsticks fell.

"Oh no…"

"Mika-chan! You can use my chopsticks!"

"Are you sure, Mr. Orihara?"

"Yes, I'm sure, Mika-chaann. Here! Take them!"

Mikado was about to accept them when Kida elbowed him.

"Oi!"

He pointed towards an angered Shizuo, whose plate was now broken in half due to his finger pressing it when he was trying to retrieve his accordion chopsticks. The part of the table below his elbow threatened to crack. He also had a killer aura around him.

"Mr. Orihara?"

"Yes?"

"Could you give your chopsticks to Mr. Heiwajima?"

"Why? A brute like him can eat with his hands."

Kida took another look at Shizuo. 'This is bad….'

"Shizu-chaaannn! Izayaaannnn"

"Erika… you should… treat them with more respect… Eh? Shizuo and Izaya? Here? Together?"

"Yo. Hope you're not fighting again..."

"Ruri-chan, Ruri-chan… ??? What's going on here?! Shi-shi-shi-… and I-i-za..zaza.."

Mikado sighed. At least he wouldn't be in the middle of the feared Shizuo-Izaya fights for now. He was lucky that Kadota and his band entered the Sushi restaurant.

"Oh, you're here! Let's dine here, Celty!"

"Wait… what?!" Both Kadota and Togusa were deeply confused.

The assembled group decided to get another large table, so they could all fit.

"I don't want to be nosy, or anything, but what exactly are you two doing here?" Kadota asked the pair. "Have you come down to some sort of Treaty of Peace?"

"You mean 'treaty of sushi' since you know Shizuo is treating Izaya? Get it? I mean, it's like a treaty but this involves treating food and-"

"Kida-kun... don't explain your joke..."

"Mika-channnn," Izaya interrupted Mikado and winked at him "What are Shizuo and me?"

Mikado thought for a second, then answered.

"Ah! Sex buddies!"

Kadota, Togusa, Walker and Shinra spat out their drinks. Kida laughed to the top of his lungs and Anri couldn't help but giggle as well. Erika squeaked but poor Celty started to tremble and her PDA read '$%&/(&%%$%??'. Simon didn't say anything. His initial shock didn't vanish, so he kept being lifeless and just serving sushi until he woke up. Shizuo broke the large beer glass he was holding a second ago and blushed furiously.

"NO WE ARE NOT!"

"…but Mr. Heiwajima said th-"

"IZAAAAAAYAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Shizuo lifted the large table, not caring about the plates and vases that fell and broke. He pointed the table at Izaya, with the intention of throwing it at him.

"See, Celty? They still fight, they're not a couple…" Shinra was trying to calm down his homophobic crush.

"YOU SHOULD DIE IZAAAYAAA! I HATE YOU!!!!"

'So they really weren't getting along… as expected.' Kadota thought.

'At least everything back to normal' Togura thought.

'Awwww, what a shame' Complained Erika.

'At least I got my pictures and my video' Anri smiled to herself

'Back to old good Izaya and Shizuo' Walker thought.

Izaya stepped backwards.

So… it was over.

Shizuo hated him once again and they would enter the endless loop of infinite useless fighting.

He knew he shouldn't care about it, since it was predictable that Shizuo would never like him in the first place.

So why should he like him?

Even so, no matter how much he tried to deny it, it hurt.

Trying to ignore these thoughts on his mind, he pulled a fake, defiant smile and spoke with his usual self-confidence.

"What?!"

"WHY ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH THAT RYUGAMINE KID!? HE'S NOT GOING TO PLEASURE YOU THE WAY I DO! IZAYAAAA!"

The reactions on Kadota, Togusa, Walker and Shinra were priceless.

"Shizu-chan…" Izaya was speechless.

"YOU **, YOU LIKE IT ROUGH! HE'S NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU SCREAM LIKE I DO! YOU WON'T SCREAM ANY NAME THAT ISN'T MINE!"

While the others were in deep traumatism, Kida had to suppress laughs and took pictures of everyone's reaction, murmuring something about 4chan emotion pics.
Shizuo threw the table near, but avoiding purposely avoiding Izaya, and panted.

"… He's cute… SO WHAT!?" Shizuo's cheeks turned a bit pink. "I CAN BE FUCKING CUTE TOO!"

Izaya stood up, walked towards Shizuo and cupped his chin.

"You're the cutest of the cute, my baby Shizu-chan." Izaya told him in a soft, soothing voice and gave him a sweet peck on his lips. Shizuo gasped. "Although you are also a brute and I can't play chess with you because you lose on the third turn and it's boringly stupid." He added with his usual pride.

"IZZZAAAYAAAA!" Izaya ran, without forgetting to shout 'Hey, Simon, he pays the bill!'. Shizuo ran after him, holding the large table and looking for the right moment to throw it at the idiot.

"Enemies, friends, lovers… they'll never change. Don't you think so, Celty?... Celty… CELTY!!!"

Celty lay on the floor. She had fainted.
