“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’.”

He wrapped his arms around the bartender, hugging him tightly from behind. The movement startled Shizuo as he froze in his tracks. Turning his head back he saw his clone, Tsugaru gripping him tightly. Removing the cigarette from his mouth, the bartender turned in Tsugaru’s arms, and pried him off.
“Tsugaru,” Shizuo said with concern in his tone, “What are you doing here? Did you get into a fight with Psyche?”
“No.” Tsugaru replied. Keeping his eyes down, his soft blue kimono hung loosely around him reflecting a passive demeanor. “I was sleeping and I heard Shizuo-kun’s thoughts.” He slowly tilted his head, now looking at the bartender. “Shizuo-kun wanted a hug but he says he can’t hug anyone because he would hurt people with his strength. So I came to give Shizuo-kun a hug.”
Shizuo blinked. The lit cigarette fell from his fingers as he now stood there facing his clone with a look of disbelief.
“Shizuo-kun can hug Tsugaru. We are made from the same DNA so Tsugaru can withstand Shizuo-kun’s strength,” Tsugaru replied.
Before Tsugaru could say anymore he felt himself being grabbed, pulled against the bartender into a tight hug. Responding, Tsugaru wrapped his arms around Shizuo returning his much desired affection.
“Don’t discredit yourself, Shizuo-kun,” Tsugaru said quietly, holding him tightly. “There will always be Tsugaru for you to hug.”
