Izaya was in the downstairs bedroom, folding the laundry, when he felt the familiar touch of his boyfriend's arms around his waist. Shizuo rested his chin on the raven's shoulder and snuggled up to his cheek.

"Well hello there," Izaya giggled. "You're certaintly in a good mood today. What caused this?"

"Oh, nothing special," the blonde responded. "I was just wondering if you wanted to go out later. We haven't been on a date in a few months."

"Of course," Izaya turned around and gave his aid a quick kiss. "I'd never miss an opportunity to be affectionate with my Shizu-chan in public. I'm pretty sure Erika gets a kick out of it."

"Oh I'm sure," Shizuo replied. "She is our biggest supporter after all."

"That's true," Izaya turned back towards the laundry. "Help me put this away and then we can get ready." Shizuo released the smaller male and picked up a stack of folded laundry. As he walked past Izaya to put them away, he slapped his butt. The blonde grinned as he got a little yeep from the raven. A pair of socks was flung at him, but there was a grin on Izaya's face when he looked over.

Later that evening, the two were enjoying dinner at Izaya's second favorite place. Shizuo couldn't stop gazing at his boyfriend. He loved everything about him, from his faded crimson eyes to his raven hair that was now just past his shoulder. The taller male released a loving sigh.

"I can never get over how beautiful you are," he said.

"Oh Shizu-chan," Izaya blushed slightly. "You're just saying that."

"But it's true," Shizuo placed his hand over Izaya's. "In fact, I think you've become even more stunning over these past couple months." He picked up his hand and gave it a kiss, causing the raven to melt and blush more.
