Mistake?
'Damn flea. Always trying to get on my damn nerves. I hate it!'
The aura around the man had never seen more menacing. it was almost like a dark blood red mixed in with black shadows laced around his ever move. His boss, Tom, foresakenly turned around, "Hey, Shizuo do you want to stop by that shrine that just opened up nearby?"
The blonde man replied with a simple nod of the head and followed behind his leader. Now, you may wonder what Izaya had done this time. Well, to put it simply he made a complete fool of the strongest man in Ikebukuro. Just the sheer thought of the information broker could create a catastrophe. As much as Shizuo tried to conceal his strength, there was no doubting that the next time he saw the flea he would kill him.
The blond lifted his gaze to see bright lights set up ceremoniously around a newly built shrine. He walked up the small steps and made his way to the purification area. Now, he was lost. He had never been to a shrine before, as weird as that sounds. He looked towards his boss and followed his movements until they reached an area at which one was supposed to write a wish on a palate and hang it atop a wall of the shrine. Tom had to explain what to do and Shizuo listened to his instructions intently, whilst anger still resonated throughout his entire being.
"Now, in order for the wish to come true. You must never tell anyone about it."
Shizuo nodded his head accordingly and wrote down his wish angrily.
"Damnit. Damn flea. If only he would just disappear. Then everything would be at peace."
His mind was completely stoked with the thought of the non-existent information broker that he let out a small smile.
He wrote his wish down and hung it upon the wall.
"Hey, Tom! Do you want to stop by Russia Sushi before the shift ends?"
The man with dark dreadlocks nodded but then replied with, "Oh! Sorry man, I can't go today cause I have a date with my girlfriend."
Shizuo scratched the back of his neck and said, "Oh, it's okay! Well make a raincheck"
Tom then said his goodbye and left Shizuo amidst the shrine. 'If the flea weren't here then…then…I bet I would have a girlfriend too." More anger began to boil within him and he had to slap his head in order to not destroy anything. 'Getting angry won't get me anywhere right now.' Just the thought of the information broker left the man to anger and he hated himself for it. He hated himself. So, he blamed Izaya for everything. It was the only way to openly cope with his disappointment in himself.
Afterwards, Shizuo went straight home.
"As bright as ever…" The blond acknowledged the sun with a small murmur. He lifted himself off his bed and made some breakfast. Something felt different. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. The tall man let out a loud sigh and continued to eat. He quickly changed into his clothes and made his way to work.
He felt annoyed. What was it? 'What am I missing?!' He felt completely lost to the point where he almost bumped straight into a street light. He put these thoughts aside and went straight to work.
He did this for the following 10 days.
'Something must surly be wrong!'
"Damn flea must've done it."
He was at work again and the thoughts just seemed to pile themselves on each other. Until a peculiar thought came to mind, 'The flea…where is he anyway?'
Tom had just gotten back from dealing with another grumpy customer and looked at Shizuo, "Hey, man, are you okay?"
"What do you mean?"
Tom scratched his cheek, "Well, I don't know. You looked a bit chocked up."
Shizuo's eyes widened in response and commented, "Well, the flea hasn't been around in a few days. It just angers me! What kind of scheme must he be pulling right now?"
Tom looked back at Shizuo puzzlingly, "The flea? Who's that, Shizuo?"
The look of surprise in Shizuo's face could also be misinterpreted with worry. "Izaya. Orihara Izaya. The information broker who makes this town a catastrophe."
The tone in his voice sounded rather confident for someone who disliked the man. Yet Tom, gave returned the same look as before.
"Who are you talking about?"
Before Shizuo could let out another word a familiar jacket came into view.
Short Author's Note!
Hi! So this is my first time publishing a story and I wanted to say that I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me some helpful criticism about my writing. I also wanted to say that this was influenced by a DRR-kink-meme thing I saw on Tumblr.
(idk if I have to dive disclaimers but here goes:)
I do not own any of the characters by the Durarara! franchise. I only own two characters, Sanro and Akio Denzel along with the way I am executing the plot and obviously my writing.
