Chapter Six: Confession Outburst

It has been a few days since Shizuo had taken Psyche to the park. They are currently sitting on the floor of Izaya's apartment pulling faces at each other. Psyche is giggling at most of the ones Shizuo pulls. Shizuo smiles at Psyche when he tries to pull a really good one. Izaya is sitting at his desk trying to focus on his work, though he has an increasing urge to stop working and just watch the two pull faces at each other. He has given up on trying to get rid of the recently unearthed feelings he has for Shizuo.

As the minutes tick by, the urge to watch them play gets worse. Izaya ends up looking, only to notice Shizuo's smile and he blushes a bit after thinking about how attractive he finds Shizuo. He hopes that Shizuo does not notice him blushing, lest he question him on the cause. It would be awkward to try and explain how it is Shizuo's fault he is blushing, and all because of a smile.

Unfortunately for Izaya, Shizuo did in fact notice and was wondering what would cause 'the great Izaya Orihara' to blush. Izaya seemed to be trying to hide behind his computer screen while trying to lessen his blush. Shizuo found it a little amusing. While still playing with Psyche he decides he wants to know what caused Izaya to blush. "Oi Izaya, what got you to blush? Never seen you blush before." Izaya inwardly cursed and blushed even more now that he knew Shizuo did in fact notice. "Oh it's nothing." This was a very obvious attempt at avoiding explaining why he is blushing.

"You wouldn't blush over nothing. To make you of all people blush it's gotta be something." Izaya was heard mumbling about 'Shizu-chan seeming smart when it's an inconvenience'.  "N-no, it's nothing" Now Shizuo was interested, Izaya just stuttered. Izaya, Izaya Orihara Stuttered. Izaya cursed himself for stuttering and was wondering if there was any way to avoid telling Shizuo. "You're not getting out of answering you know" Izaya facepalmed as he now knew he would have to tell shizuo.

"W-well, first off it's all your fault Shizu-chan" Now Shizuo was a little confused. What could he have done to cause Izaya to blush? He could not think of anything that would explain it, maybe he should just wait until Izaya explained. "I looked up from my work and was watching you play with Psyche; I also noticed you were smiling." Shizuo just stared at Izaya waiting for him to continue and wondering why Izaya would blush at his smile. Izaya was hesitating, seeing how to phrase what he was going to say.

"I can't really find any other way of saying this…" He looked and noticed Psyche had decided to go to sleep on the couch, so he will only have one reaction to deal with. Izaya took in a deep breath before speaking. "I'm blushing because I saw you smile and I ended up thinking to myself how attractive you are. Over the past few days, feelings I thought I had forgotten about have come back and goddammit I can't help but think these things. No matter how hard I try, my thoughts come back to you. I gave up trying to forget these feelings for a second time as I doubt it would work." Shizuo was quite surprised, there was no way that Izaya was trying to say what Shizuo thinks he is trying to say. "For the love of a god I don't believe in, I, Izaya Orihara have loved you since highschool! I love you Shizuo Heiwajima!" After his little outburst Izaya rested his head on his desk blushing badly and wondering what Shizuo would make of it.
