Warning: contains the usual

A.N.- Thanks guys for all your reviews, story faves, and story alerts. It really made me happy that you all listened to my rant. Thanks so much for sticking through this story to the end with me. Every time I reread some of the older chapters, I can really tell how much I've improved. You guys really helped encourage me and I can't thank you enough. Now that this story is over, I just want to say that I'm taking a break from fanfiction. I'll still be on so you all can talk to me, but I'm not going to write for a while. Oh and this is the first story I've ever finished! :D I started when I was 14 and now I'm 15. ^w^ Oh and as for cheating fate, I decided I will continue that one eventually (possibly), but I'm going to delete most of what I had and start the whole thing over how I like, if I do.

Ps.- Can I haz critique of ma story, pwease? :3

(Shizuo's P.O.V.)

"Move in with me."

That had to be the single most challenging request I've ever had to make and I could feel myself mentally cringing, regretting the decision to go through with it. Granted, it was laudable that I even made it this far in confidence at all. Currently I'm stationed on my couch, watching a movie that Kasuka had starred in. Although my eyes were glued to the screen, I wasn't really comprehending anything that was happening in the movie at all. Izaya who had laid sprawled out on the couch with me, with his head in my lap, froze at my request, fingers slipping away from the keys on his phone, as it fell away from his grip, crashing down.

He took no notice of this however, instead propping himself up on his elbows to look up at me quizzically, as if trying to guess if he had heard right. I refused to meet his eyes, keeping my gaze glued to the tv, instead. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched as a rather thoughtful expression assembled upon the raven's face. I felt my heart beat just a bit faster with anticipation and hope.

Pink lips quirked upwards into a smirk, as Izaya's head tilted back, and playful eyes stared up at me.

"Shizu-chan~"

Two twin arms snaked up around my neck, pulling my head down to connect a harsh lip lock. Again I felt my heart beat faster, as an ivory hand fell down to my chest, feeling it pulse.

Nipping at his bottom lip in an almost desperate matter, I pulled the young man more firmly into my lap, so that he was sitting up. He parted his lips without complaint, allowing me to do as I pleased. Dipping my tongue inside, I tasted the bittersweet taste I'd accustomed to him alone, and pressed my tongue firmly to his, coaxing the muscle forth. Sucking on it firmly, I marveled at the soft moans coming from the informant. We kissed for as long as we possibly could, like two lovesick teenagers, who couldn't keep their hands off of each other, until we finally had to part due to lack of air. I stared down into half lidded eyes, blinded by pleasure, and smiled gently.

"Haah... Shizu-chan~ You're amazing..."

He whispered, causing my heart to beat even faster.

"I never knew... that a monster could get so attached. You really are something."

B-dump.

B-dump.

B-dump, b-dump.

'Izaya... I want you to stay with me. Please..., please say yes. Move in with me

and stop screwing around with my head...'

I never felt myself capable of having the ability to experience such emotions of raw, unrelenting, and possessive love before. I never once believed that I'd ever be able to feel, let alone wish for such a thing, yet here I am now, desperately holding on. It was almost as if this was all just a vicarious setting and this wasn't really me. I had to hold on to the person that could give me all my answers and keep me sane.

"Izaya... You're ignoring me..."

I mumbled, tersely.

"Neh? Whatever do you mean, Shizu-chan~? I assure you all of my

attention is focused on you, and you alone, Silly..."

He purred, cupping my cheeks and looking into my eyes, childishly.

I growled.

"Ah? Neh, don't make me feel guilty now, Shizuo... It's just... I've never

really been asked something like that before. I don't really... know what to think

when asked something so... blunt."

He mumbled, incriminatingly, looking down as if in a sheepish manner.

I gaped, open mouthed. That was all? Orihara Izaya, infamous informant of Ikebukuro and Shinjuku, Japan, didn't understand his own feelings? I sighed in relief. I had thought that he felt it was a bad idea and so he'd tried to let me down easy, or something. I'm glad that wasn't the case. Without warning, I wrapped my arms around his neck, crushing his face to my shoulder in a tight embrace.

"Ah! Shizu... Eheh, as much as I'm enjoying all this attention,

what are you trying to get across exactly?"

He asked, uncertainly, arms remaining at his side.

I laughed, nuzzling his hair, enjoying the fresh shampoo scent that came from it.

"Why don't you just stop thinking, then? Just move in with me."

He pursed his lips and was silent for a while, but at the tightening of my hold, a soft "okay..." leaked from behind his lips out into the open. For about the millionth time, my heart picked up speed, thudding sporadically behind my rib cage. For a moment, I was afraid he could hear it, and that he'd call me something stupid, teasing me to no end, but within a second, that thought vanished. Who cared if he could hear it or not? I was over thinking things, something that was so unlike me.

"Shizu-chan~ Are you thinking about me? You have a fond expression..."

He whispered, wrapping his arms around my waist, to return the hug, as he snuggled his head into my neck. I let out a breath of air, remembering how to breath, as I smiled big, and kissed the other on the side of his neck.

"No, it's fine. I'm just really happy, is all."

"Oh? Well, that's certainly good, I suppose~"

He replied, satisfied with my answer.

I nodded and continued holding him with the movie credits playing on by.

-2 years later-

(Namie's P.O.V.)

I watched with narrowed, focused eyes, observing the unusual scene before me. Izaya Orihara. What an unusual man.

"Namiiiiiiiie! Why would you let these two in?" The man groveled over dramatically, gesturing to the twins before them. I picked at my nails, sighing at yet another family reunion, as the blonde man at my side scratched behind his head, awkwardly. "Idiot, they got in here themselves. Don't blame me for everything that goes wrong in your pitifully lonesome life." I stated, boredly, not even bothering to grace him with a glare.

Despite what that man may say, those twins meant a lot to him. Lately, it seems as if he's even been fixing up their family relationship a little bit by bit. Besides that, it seems that the fortissimo of Ikebukuro and the shady information broker had become somewhat of an "item" in these last two years. Slowly, but surely I've noticed that Izaya's been changing. The changes may be rather annoying, but they're not altogether... that bad, really. The blond man may have a bad reputation, but he's really been positively effecting that shady bastard, I call a boss.

Izaya was now more down to earth for one. Yes, he still had that irritating "I'm above everyone else, so you mean nothing to me" attitude, but he... slipped up more. He showed more of his human side to those of us, who are always around him, and he's more honest with himself as of late. I guess even "Gods" can fall in love, huh?

"Iza-nii! We've been waiting here for you foreeeeeeveeeeer!" The louder of the twins, Mairu, whined, clinging to Izaya's signature coat sleeve. I flinched at the loudness, brought away from my thoughts. Izaya covered his ears, groaning. "Neh, and this is why you two are an exception to my human love equation. So troublesome... What do you want, anyway?" He asked, knitting his brows.

"Wedding. Friend." Kururi answered in her usual monotone way.

I tilted my head, still not used to the short haired girl's odd speech patterns. Apparently I wasn't alone, as the debt collector at my side scrunched his face up in a knot. Izaya made a noise of surprise, then replied. "Friend... Wedding?" His eyes rolled slowly from side to side in thought before realization lit his face. "Shinra?"

Two short nods met his answer.

"What? Why didn't he call my cell?" The informant inquired.

"He did. Plenty of times, in fact~ You wouldn't pick up though, so instead he sent us to go find you," Mairu piped in.

I watched as Izaya fished around in his coat and pant pockets, searching for his private cell. He fished out numerous cell phones, most of which were for business purposes, before grabbing out the one he'd been looking for. Seven missed calls. I allowed a short smirk, at the number of calls, all from different times. He really was starting to slip up.

The information broker groaned, before shooing us away. I rolled my eyes, walking out, with the three. Once outside the room, we sat listlessly about, waiting for the raven haired man to return with news. Eventually, after waiting so long, the three of us had pulled out a board game of sorts, the door creaked open, with a sheepish Izaya standing about.

"Neh, sorry for taking so long~ You know Shinra, always so excitable. Anyways..., I guess we're invited to a wedding then~"

-four months after friend's wedding, photobooth-

(Izaya's P.O.V.)

Life was... good. I never thought I'd ever be here in this type of life. I never thought it possible that I, Orihara Izaya, could ever fall in love. Hell, I never believed it possible that I'd be loved back. Lately I've felt less alone and more and more happy, not that I wasn't content before with my life. In short, everything's changed drastically from what it used to be.

Example 1.) Shinra and Celty got married. (The wedding was pretty fun, especially with all the people watching).

Example 2.) I was living with Shizu-chan. (He shockingly isn't that hard to live with. Minus, the occasional need of a new television or furniture, of course~)

Example 3.) Mairu and Kururi come to bug me regularly, instead of our old distance to one another. (Oh yeah, they've also graduated. Yay for them.)

Example 4.) Kasuka-san came back from a tour and found out about Shizuo and my relationship. (He strangely doesn't seem the least surprised, nor bothered.)

and Example 5.) Heheh, Shizu-chan's about to lose the bet~

I smiled, pulling the brute into a headlock, as I made the peace sign, nudging him in the side

to smile. He did so, wrapping an arm around my waist, and digging in sharply, forcing my eyes to squint in revenge.

Flash!

I grinned cheekily, pulling away as I jumped up to see the pictures. Shizuo and I were hanging out on another date and at the moment we were taking pictures and fooling around. I glanced at the pictures in my hands and couldn't help snickering.

"Neh, Shizzy~ If you keep frowning all the time, your face is gonna get stuck like that!" I grinned at seeing the first pic. I had my finger curved in Shizuo's mouth, tugging at his cheek, as I leaned into him with an amused smile. Flipping through the other two, I dodged a smack from Shizuo, as his face flushed, from me making perverted gestures in the pictures. I grinned like an idiot, holding onto the last picture, which was the one we just took. It was my favorite.

"Damn perverted flea..." Shizuo mumbled, cuffing me upside the head. Smiling, I walked beside the blond as we made our way out of the mall. Once we were outside, I circled in front of the brute, preventing him from taking another step, with my arms stretched out as far as they'd go.

"What do you want?" A puzzled look came across Shizuo's face, as I leaned in, slyly.

"I just wanted to say thanks for asking me out tonight, Shizu~ I had fun!" I winked.

"Is that all? You could've just said so. You're welcome, though." He answered, shrugging, attempting to go around me.

I stepped to the side, where he was trying to move, effectively blocking him.

"Nuh uh! Not so fast, Shizzy~ That wasn't all!" I teased, wagging my finger to the side in a condescending manner. Before he could say anything, I continued, holding eye contact.

"Shizuo..." I trailed off, allowing him to hear his full name, to signify I was being serious.

"What would you do if I told you I love you?" I asked bluntly, smiling softly.

His mouth immediately went agape, his pupils widening. Before he could question it, I intercepted. "This is real."

"...Izaya." He paused, staring at me. "What would you do if I told you I love you?"

"Is that a hypothetical question?" I teased, moving in close.

"Tsk, typical flea... I love you... God, I love you so much." He let out, pulling me forwards into a passionate kiss. I allowed myself to melt against him, grinning in victory.

Pulling away, I looked into his eyes, slyly.

"I win Shizu-chan~"

I made a victory sign, stepping away.

His face was confused at first, before realization hit him. "Eh? What are you talking about? You confessed first!"

I grinned mischievously. "Nuh uh! I asked you "What would you do if I told you I love you?" That was a hypothetical question, Shizu-chan~!"

His face was dumbstruck, slowly turning red with rage, as he caught on.

"Silly, Protozoan~ Before you get yourself all worked up, I'd like to say something..." I blushed at this, looking to the side, before continuing in a rush.

"Iloveyoutoo!"

His face. Priceless. As I looked back up, my face dusted red from my own confession, I was pleasantly surprised, as two rough arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me forwards.

"Geez... You're such a typical flea, trying to upset me like that..."

I wrapped my own arms around the brute's side, sighing contently.

"I know,"

I answered, as I rested my head against his chest, happily.

"But I guess that's what fleas are usually for, huh?"

Shizuo asked, with us both leaving the question unanswered, happily standing in each other's arms.
