Work Text:
March 13th the day before White Day
A teenage girl sits poised infront of a round wooden table, a stack of papers and envelops off to the side. Her hand held posed above a piece of paper as she forms words with neat curves to create elegant cursive letters. "Um, what are all these letters for anyways Izaya-san?" The young girl asks her classmate out of curiosity.
"To fill the hearts of others up with love."
"R-really?" She asks with a mix of awe and hesitation, awe that Izaya would propose such a noble idea, and hesitation because a part of her doesn't fully believe his words. After all It's no secret that Izaya isn't exactly known for doing things out of the kindness of his heart; but rather for the sake of his own desires.
"Yes, Those poor boy's must feel so let down, opening their lockers only to find them empty."
"I-I see, but why word it this way?" She points to the words he had her write down.
"Well, as you know most of the boys at our school are thugs, those who are used to crass words and conflict to the point that a more straight forward approach to romance would seem like something out of a sci-fi novel." Though giving their level of education it would be more accurate to say something out of a sci-fi manga.
"You know......your kind of rude."
"That's fine." After all I'm only using you for your hand writing.

Pink-colored decorations lined the edges of the envelope, which was itself secured with a heart-shaped seal.
Shinra's eyes popped to the size of saucers as he let out a wail.
"What the f – !?"
"There's nothing there to 'what the f' about, idiot."
"Shizuo…I've seen people giving themselves chocolate on Valentine's Day, but it's the first time I've seen anyone slip himself a love letter in his own shoe bobobobobobobo – I'm sorry I'm sozkdsjfdoq – "
Shinra was sent a-flying after the iron claw bit squarely into his face.
He ignores Shinra in favour of the pink letter in his hands. He carefully opens the delicate looking envelop.

"I missed the chance to give you something very important on Valentine's Day. I want to exchange it for your cookies. I'll be waiting for you at Raijin High School's Second Ground at 5 p.m."
He saw something along these lines written in a soft, feminine scribble along with sweet words of confession.

Raijin High School, Second Ground
Shizuo stands with the bloody goal post from last time in his hands, giving off an even more beastly appearance. The thugs from earlier passed out all around him, a hand full of them groan in pain. The pink letters and bags of cookies they brought with them sprawled about. Idiots.
"I'll kill him, that flea thinks he can play with people's emotions just like that and get away with it."

After hours of chasing Shizuo finally manages to conner Izaya in an alley. His arms on either side of Izaya's head. Izaya just looks up at him, face as cool as a cucumber. "My~ you must really miss me if you would go out of your way to hunt me down so soon after our last meeting." So, what will you do now Shizu-chan?
"The only thing I miss is punching you in the face." His expression morphs into a sinister grin and he raises his fist.
"Then perhaps you should work on improving your aim." He quickly dodges the punch and pulls out his knife.
Shizuo's fist goes through the wall of the alley and forming a large hole. Bits of brick crumble down as he removes his fist and turns around with a menacing aura.
Izaya takes the time allowed by Shizuo punching the wall to slash his chest. Leaving a diagonal cut that tears all the way down to the seam of Shizuo jacket pocket.
Something falls out of Shizuo's pocket, He looks closer. A bag of cookies? Heh, he actually brought the cookies. Unfortunately they look like got crushed from Shizuo's previous fights.
Shizuo blushes in embarrassment. Both at being cought carrying the cookies, and because of how terrible they turned out, even with Shinra's help.
Izaya picks them up. "How cute Shizu-chan, you actually believed your letter was the real one"

He sneaks into the locker room in the early morning, before the sun has even risen. Looking around for his desired target, and works his way over to Shizu-chan's locker. He expertly twists the lock open, having mesmerized Shizuo's code months ago. His heart beat quickens as he slowly pulls the letter out of his jacket, and gently places it inside the locker.
"There, that wasn't so hard." He places his shaky hands in his pockets and exits the room.
______________________________________________
"Though out of the kindness of my heart, I will graciously except your offer."
"What heart? You mean the black hole in the middle of your chest?"
"Ouch, you wound me~" As if to contradict his earlier words, he cheerfully opens the haphazardly wrapped bag and takes a bite of one of the broken slightly burnt heart shaped cookies. They're not as sweet as I thought they would be, he probably forgot to add the full amount. Heh, they're kind of like Shizuo himself, a bit broken, slightly bitter with sweet undertones, and haphazardly wrapped in a human disguise.
"You damn insect!"
He looks at a trash can on his right, and just as he gets ready to to pick it up and throw it at Izaya. Izaya moves quickly before Shizuo has time to attack him and pulls his jacket forward to kiss Shizuo straight on the lips.
What the-? Why would Izaya-?......His lips are surprisingly soft-no wait why am I thinking about that?
"Thanks for the cookies Shizu-chan~" He gives Shizuo a wink then dashes off while Shizuo is left stock still, having yet to fully process what just happened.
"That damn....I'll definitely kill him next time I see him." Shit and that was my first kiss too!
