I leaned against the wall and felt the blood oozing between my fingers, "Fuck." I looked to the dead gangsters around me and then to the entrance of the alley. Hopefully Shizu-chan will stay away from me… Or at least spare my life if he does come. I slowly move towards the street and wrap my jacket around me tighter. "FLEA!"

"FUCK ME!" I yell out before I can stop myself.

"Flea?" He's paused and I noticed he was standing only a few feet away.

I tried to make a recovery and with, "I don't have time to play today Shizu-chan… I have business to attend to."

"You're bleeding." He said before I got the chance to walk off.

"No… You're seeing things." It was childish. I shouldn't have said it but I did.

"Flea… Why are you bleeding?" His voice had lost its bite and I sighed heavily.

Why did getting hurt make me so unraveled? "I'm not bleeding."

Suddenly I was being shoved to a wall and my jacket was being flung open, "You're acting like a five year old. Just tell me what happened."

I studied his eyes for the longest time but could read nothing. I threw my head back in frustration, "Gangs don't like me either Shizu-chan."

"We'd better get you to Shinra." He picked me up a second later. I blushed from head to toe and shoved him away.

His grip tightened so he wouldn't drop me, "Shizu-chan… This is embarrassing!"

He growled a bit and then shoved my hood over my head, "Shut up… Or would you rather I leave you to die?"

I narrowed my eyes, "Wouldn't you rather to do that?"

He didn't reply and from his stupid glasses… I couldn't tell either. I sighed in frustration again and just lowered my hood while still gripping my bleeding side. When we got to Shinra's he was in shock because here we were. We weren't fighting, weren't destroying things, and we sure as hell weren't trying to kill each other; no, because Shizuo decided to save me.

I was placed on the floor and they helped rip my shirt off my back. "Damn Izaya."

My head was spinning and I realized then how blood soaked I was and how much blood Shizuo was sporting. I fell forward then and passed out.

When I woke up I was laying in an actual hospital. It confused me at first and then I felt the pull of my side. I sighed heavily and waited for my eyes to adjust. I was met with the sight of a sleeping Shizuo. He was snoring lightly and held an empty cigarette pack in his hand. I turned to see if anyone else was around and no one was.

I tried to speak but nothing came out so I cleared my throat, "Shizuo?"

He sighed heavily and his eyes fluttered open lightly. I bit my lip at how cute and adorable… Probably beautiful that face was. I dreamed about that face so often. He rubbed his eyes and that's when I noticed the dark bags under them. His appearance was disheveled even though he was wearing a t-shirt and blue jeans.

He focused on me and leaned forward, "Izaya."

"What happened?" I croaked moving to sit up.

He caught my shoulders and with more gentleness than I thought possible lowered me back to the bed. "You had surgery."

"What?" I felt the pull of stitches but still refused to believe anyone had been touching my body without my know about.

"Shinra didn't feel comfortable operating on you so we took you here. You've been in surgery since 2 and it's 10. Everyone went home when you came out… But… I don't know. Guess I fell asleep here."

I studied the tall man carefully, "When will a doctor come talk with me?"

"Soon… I can go get one if you want." Shizuo's face dusted pink and I cocked an eyebrow.

He waited for me to finish yawning before I said, "I want to get up and get the doctor myself… I want out of here. I want to go home."

Shizuo shook his head, "You shouldn't move so much… You went through a good six hour surgery."

"SIX FUCKING HOURS?!"

"They had to patch a lung or something…" He looked away from me and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. The strangest thing was that he acting like he was five years old and that he was sorry for me.

I moved to sit up again but he caught me… AGAIN. "Shizuo."

"Ah!" A man in a lab coat strolled through the room but it was not my old friend. "It's nice to see you awake… and breathing!" He had one of those voices that filled a room and made you think of Disney movies.

I narrowed my eyes but smirked, "Great! Can I go now?"

"No." He smiled looking to Shizuo. "Are you his partner?"

Shizuo went bright red and shook his head rapidly, "No."

I rolled my eyes, "What does Shizu-chan have anything to do with this?"

"Well… He was the one who stayed. I need someone to take care of you. You can't sleep on that side of yours… And everything we've tried so far has been unsuccessful. Until it came to this man here."

I looked to Shizuo who was blushing like a goof. "And you're asking the man who hates my guts to take care of me in my time of need?"

"You'll be fine. Will you do it?" He turned to the brute and Shizuo looked to me and saw me gawking.

Shizuo looked at the ground, blushing harder if possible, "Yeah."

"Perfect!" The doctor clapped while I lost my smirk and tried to burn a hole into his head. "Pain killers… Only take one when it gets to be too much. Only one per six hours."

"Fucking strong pills." I sighed, turning away.

"Clean the wound every two hours today, but other than that twice a day should be fine with this antiseptic. In two weeks the stitches will come out. Keep cleaning it afterwards."

"Excuse me!" I said turning back, "But… Shizuo taking care of me for longer than a day?"

"Yes." The doctor said turning back to Shizuo. "He'll have a checkup in a month."

"Release?" Shizuo asked.

I scoffed and turned away. "In a few hours." That had me looking up a little less upset.

"Kay," Shizuo said, turning to me as the doctor left. He was met with my glare. His face, which had calmed down earlier, lit back up right to his ears and he looked to the floor.

"Why the hell did you just agree to that?" I asked, feeling unlike myself. He shrugged sheepishly and I sighed, "Are you five now Shizuo?"

The use of his real name had him looking up. He raised an eyebrow, "Someone has to take care of you… You just had surgery… You almost… Died." He said a little sadly.

"And what if I had, Shizuo?" I dare.

His face paled, "Do you need anything from your house? I can go grab it and come back… Clothes?" I glared at him and he shrugged. "I can go to my house and get you some of my clothes to wear home if you'd like?"

My cheeks tinted pink. "BRUTE!"

He sighed and fished in my jeans sitting on the table folded nicely, "Thought so. I'll be back."

I watched him walk out the door confidently and felt my warm face. "SCREW YOU SHIZUO HEWIJIMA!"

The doctor appeared in the doorway, "Rest. Stop screaming. You'll pop a stich and then kill yourself."

I glared, and I guess it was harsh enough to send him out the door. I did fall asleep, and when I woke back up Shizuo was just setting me down on the couch in my apartment. I yawned and looked around. My place was clean as per usual and Shizuo turned to see me rubbing my eye with my fist. I knew it made me look five year old but it was a habit.

Shizuo blushed and took off my jacket. The fur brushed my cheek and I glanced down. He dressed me in a white shirt and black skinny jeans. I looked to see that he had hung my favorite jacket up. It was my turn to blush and slowly I got to my feet and attempted to walk. My legs felt weak and I made it to the stairwell before catching myself on the wall. "Hey… Take it easy."

I looked to the dark bags under his eyes. "You should be sleeping yourself."

He shrugged and hooked an arm under my shoulders before he waited for my okay. "Come on… I won't kill you in your sleep."

I glared, "Better promise."

With that said, he hooked his other arm under my legs and swung me up gently. With ease and agility he got us both up stairs. I expected him to put me down, but he carried me into my bedroom and placed me on the bed. Slowly he peeled my shirt off without waiting for me to think about it. I winced as my arms were lifted above my head. Shizuo gave me a soft apologetic look that had me red from chest to ear tips.

Shizuo worked with ease and I felt a small smile tug at my lips. "Got practice changing bandages do you?"

He rolled his eyes, "No thanks to you."

I smiled wider before realizing it wasn't a smirk or a sneer and instantly my face felt hot once again. "Why are you doing this?"

His mocha eyes glanced up to mine for a split second and then he looked away and lifted my arms lightly to wrap gauze around my center. "This will keep you from stretching too much and ripping open the wound."

I sighed, "Thanks… Great information. That doesn't answer my question, Shizu-chan."

His eyes didn't wander from my gauze covered midsection. "Get some sleep." Standing up to his full height, he tossed me pajama bottoms and then stopped in the doorway, "Do you need help getting those on?"

Frustration at being swept aside always made me rash, so I glared harshly and threw my small alarm clock at him, "NO!"

He sighed, "I'll be back in two hours."

The door to my bedroom closed and I gently got my pants off and then lay down and pulled the covers up to my chin. My side was starting to ache, so I closed my eyes and hugged a pillow. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

Chapter One! So... I know I know... First chapters are generally no fun. My aim for Izaya is that he's a little out of it... He doesn't get hurt a lot... So he's a baby. Soooo that might explain the ooc. If it's horribly horrible I will work harder on it... But for that to happen please leave a review stating your thoughts. Just don't forget rule number 1... BE KIND! No one wants to know how bad they suck... They want to be told they're pretty and showered in love. So please review, fav., and follow! Cause I'll love you and we can be friends! :)
