“What are you doing?” Tsugaru asked, looking over Shizuo’s shoulder.
The bartender was sitting on the couch, typing on Izaya’s computer. “I am sending a picture of flea sleeping to his Facebook and writing the words ‘good morning flea’,” Shizuo responded without looking at him.
“Why?” Tsugaru asked.
“When flea wakes up, the first thing he does before he even gets out of bed is check his Facebook and his messages on his phone. This is the first thing he will see,” Shizuo replied. “He always tries to post pictures of me during the day to piss me off – I think this pisses him off to see pictures of himself sleeping with messy hair in the morning. Everyone else on his friends list will see it too.” The bartender paused; a little smirk crossing his face, “And… Izaya has a lot of friends.”
Picking up on Shizuo’s thoughts, the clone realized the hidden innuendo of his actions. Tsugaru smiled. “That’s cute, Shizuo-kun!”
“It’s not supposed to be cute!” Shizuo snapped. His face started to turn red as he looked seeing Tsugaru giving him a smug expression of disbelief.
“I am going to do that to Psyche!” Tsugaru announced.
Shizuo watched as his clone walked away, leaving the living room and the computer. “Oi!” the bartender called, “Where are you going?”
Tsugaru walked down the hallway, heading into the guest bedroom where Psyche lie sleeping. Crawling into bed he hugged his counterpart. Nuzzling on him, he continued to snuggle with him until Psyche finally started to wake up. Eyes half opened, the sleepy clone could feel Tsugaru snuggling against him.
“What it is, Tsugaru?” Psyche mumbled. “Why are you so affectionate now? It’s too early.”
Tsugaru smiled, quietly responding, “Good morning ‘flea’.”

The day before Easter was slowly winding down. Shizuo and Izaya had resided on the couch while Tsugaru and Psyche sat on the floor. The pink cloned, glanced up, smiling happily at his friends.
“Shizu-chan, guess what?” Psyche said. Before Shizuo could respond he answered, “I saw the Easter Bunny today at one of the stores and asked him to come see you and Izaya-kun. I told him we were at your house so he will know to leave our baskets here this year instead of in Nerima.” Psyche then turned his head, going back to watching television as he kept speaking, “Izaya-kun even talked to the Easter Bunny too!”
“Psyche!” Izaya suddenly snapped. “You said you wouldn’t say anything!”
The clone smiled, turning around to face Izaya, “But Izaya-kun, it was cute seeing you talking with the Easter bunny.”
The Information trader frowned, pulling his hood over his head to cover his embarrassment.
Watching his actions, Shizuo smirked. “Did you ask the Easter Bunny to come to our house?” He teased poking at the covered information trader.
Izaya growled, remaining hidden underneath his hooded coat. “Shut up! I hate you both!”

Note: Look for the picture of Izaya and Red in my portfolio!
Red smiled. Izaya had been staring at him for several hours with inquisitiveness but his emotions continued to prevent him from asking the questions he wanted answered. Finally the informant looked over, making contact with the information trader. Seeing him, Izaya was finally compelled to speak.
“There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you. Something that has me curious,” Izaya said.
Red smiled, “Yes?”
“What is inside your hat?” Izaya asked.
“My hat?” Red inquired, tilting his head to the side curiously, the top of his hat lightly moving with him.
Smiling, Red then removed his hat, holding it steady. He lightly pulled the top of the hat open, allowing Izaya to see inside. Looking into the hat, Izaya could see cell phones and notes much like what he carried in the pockets of his coat.
“You see,” Red continued to smile, “Orihara-san and I are more alike than Orihara-san thought. (^_^)”

“What are you doing?” Izaya asked peering over the bartender’s shoulder.
“Playing Valkyria Chronicles. It’s a strategy video game,” Shizuo replied fully engrossed in his game play. “The PSP is acting a little weird though. It’s squeaking. And not in a good way either.”
Getting quiet, Izaya sat very still waiting to hear the squeaking that the bartender was complaining about. It wasn’t long until the squeaking began sounding, as if the disc reader was going out. Although the game was still resuming perfectly fine, the occasional squeaking was starting to annoy the bartender, distracting his concentration on his game. Smiling deviously, the information trader leaned up and began making squeaking noises into Shizuo’s ear to further irritate him. Getting distracted by the game squeaking plus the information trader squeaking, Shizuo’s temper began to rise. Unable to ignore it any longer he snapped, crushing the game system in his hand as he now glared at Izaya.
“Shut up!” Shizuo yelled. Looking down at his hand holding the broken system he stood up, throwing it to the side as he yelled at the information trader, “You fucker! You made me break it!”
“Now there’s no more squeaking!” Izaya exclaimed. Smiling his eyes taunted as he concluded, “You’re welcome Shizu-chan.”

“Do you think I’m a monster?” The bartender looked up from his hands and over towards the information trader.
Sitting behind his computer, Izaya did not return his glance. The informant’s response was calm, blank and without hesitation, “Of course.”
Shifting his eyes up towards the bartender; Izaya saw Shizuo look back down at his opened hands. The bartender began to carry a grim expression. Izaya stood up. He began walking towards Shizuo, breaking the tension with his words.
“Shizu-chan was dubbed the most violent man in all of Ikebukuro,” Izaya smiled in his approached. “He is a very scary monster.” Stopping just in front of Shizuo, the information trader bent down, looking up to attract his glance. “Shizu-chan knew this answer already.” Capturing his gaze, Izaya now stood up straight, placing his hands inside his coat pocket. “Every day you ask me the same question and every day I give you an unchanged response. The facts will never change that Shizu-chan is a monster.” He paused, his eyes seemed to glint in tone, “But that’s not the question Shizu-chan really wanted to ask was it?”
The information trader now returned to his desk, sliding into his swivel chair as he spun it back towards his computer. “Perhaps Shizu-chan should stop asking the questions he already knows the answer to and ask the questions he actually wants the answers to.”
