Izaya's P.O.V.

I tucked the girls in bed, then slowly closed the door. Their field trip is tomorrow, and Shizuo was set to be their chaperone. I walked back to my bedroom, seeing Shizuo watching TV on our bed. I smiled, walking over to him and kissing his head. He was smiling almost cockily.

"You seem confident."

"I'm gonna be the best chaperone at that damn field trip, you'll see." I chuckled.

"We'll see about that."

"You coming in here with me to bed?" I shook my head.

"Not yet, I gotta do a few things first. I might be a bit."

"Oh come on, we told each other there would be no working late."

"I know I know, I won't be too long."

"No, your staying here." Shizuo stated, crossing his arms.

"I have to make a call Shizu-can." I tried to walk away, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back, pinning me to the bed. He had a playful smirk on his lips.

"No, your staying here." I pouted.

"Shizu-chan is mean. I gotta do work."

"Your being mean by leaving me here alone." He kissed me, and I kissed back. Before long it became a bigger make out session. I would try to pull away, but he wouldn't let me go. He kissed down my neck, but I gently pushed him off.

"Shizuo, I'm serious." He knew that if I didn't call him by his nickname, I was dead serious. Shizuo groaned and finally got off me. I stood up.

"I'll be back, I promise." 

"Yeah okay." He said slightly annoyed. I chuckled at the look on his face, then I left the room. I walked down the stairs and went to my desk to retrieve my phone. Once I had my phone I dialed in the right number, then waited for a the receiver to pick up.

"Hello?" Tom said.

"Tom, it's Izaya."

"Izaya, what's up?"

"I have a favor for you to do."

"Okay, what is it?"

"Shizuo told you about the field trip he's chaperoning right?" 

"Yeah, he's been kinda excited. He won't shut up about it." I sat in my swivel chair, leaning back.

"About that, are you busy that day?"

"Um, no. Why?" I looked out the window.

"Do you think....you can watch over him that day?"

"What?"

"You know, from a distance. In case things don't go well." There was a moment of silence, then Tom spoke.

"Do you not trust him?" I frowned.

"I never said that."

"You didn't have to." I sighed.

"If I had to be honest, I have my concerns on how he'll control his anger. If he hurts a kid, or anyone for that matter, he could get arrested. Or something worse could happen....."

"Call me crazy, but I think you should trust him a bit more."

"How come?"

"He's your spouse right? Kinda a bad thing if you don't trust him," I frowned, feeling guilty, "I mean, he might not be that bad."

"He through a truck across the street just for a guy throwing a rock at him."

".....fair point. But, give him a chance. A real chance. He might surprise you. He's doing this because he wants to prove to you he can control his anger. I say, give him that chance."

"You think so?"

"I know so. Have some faith in him." I was silent for a moment, thinking deeply, tapping my fingers anxiously.

"Izaya?" Finally, I took a deep breathe.

"Alright, your right. Never mind about my request then. I will trust Shizuo. If he can trust me, I should in turn trust him."

"That's it. Don't give up faith." I nodded.

"Night then Tom, sorry I called so late." I hung up, then sighed. Then I nodded to myself.

"Right, I can trust him. I do trust him." 

Shizuo's P.O.V.

I silently listened from upstairs. Then gave a small smile, clenching my fists.

"Thank you, Izaya. I won't let you down."

Time skip

It was the next morning. As soon as I heard the alarm clock ring I turned it off and headed over to the bathroom. I made sure to brush my hair, get dressed, and brushed my teeth. I looked at myself in the mirror for a moment. Then I smiled.

"One day without anger. How hard can this be?" I put on my shades and went downstairs. Izaya looked up from his computer and smiled. He came over and pecked me on the lips.

"Morning Shizu-chan!" 

"Morning." I kissed his forehead. Mairu hopped from the couch, jumping in excitement.

"Ready to go yet?! Huh?! Huh?! Huh?!" I looked at her surprised.

"Did you have sugar for breakfast?"

"She drank my coffee." Izaya said.

"So caffeine then. Great." I muttered. Kururi stood up.

"We're ready to go."

"Yeah! We have to get there early so we can get on the bus early and get to the museum to look at everything and have lunch on time and get home on time and-" Mairu was a nonstop chatter box.

"Then wait by the door." I said. Mairu zipped to the door in a blink of an eye. Kururi silently followed her. I chuckled and looked at Izaya.

"I'll be back later. And I'm looking forward seeing you in that maid outfit." Izaya chuckled.

"We'll see that about that, Shizu-chan." He pecked me on the lips and I went to the door.

"Bye Izaya!" Both twins ran out the door. I looked at Izaya, waved, then followed the twins out.

Izaya's P.O.V.

I kept my smile on until they had left. Namie looked up from her lab top.

"Your nervous aren't you."

"Nervous is an understatement," I turned to face her, "However, I'm going to have faith in Shizuo to control his anger." Namie smirked.

"This bet is just an excuse for you to wear a maid's outfit in for Izaya." I blushed.

"What?! What the hell made you think that?"

"So you don't want to wear one?"

"NO! Of course not!"

"Sure~"

"Namie!" She just giggled while I went back to work, now blushing nonstop.
