Casually decides to break the pairing between Rubi/Toudaimoto. The new Shizuo Alt! Rubi. I also roleplay him, and I found myself and the muse; more eager to do Rubi/Roppi. Rupi? Ahaha. I ship them because...I dunno. It sorta clicked when I was roleplaying? I haven't been able to do more with it, because...I haven't spoken to the other mun. QuQ But Rubi sorta gave me this protective behavior over Roppi. I adore Roppi..agh.. no more rambles. Enjoy angsty Rubi!

Rubi was silent. There was nothing coming from his mouth expect puffs of smoke, leaning back against the cushions of the couch after his job. Blood stained shoes were placed atop a table, his coat tossed to the side as he rested. The only piece he was ever able to gain was this moment. When night rolled out; and the sun began to peek through the corners of the sky.

There was something else about the time of day he sincerely enjoyed, sitting back; the click of a remote to fill the room with smooth jazz- as he always left his television on that channel- and watching the beauty of reds and oranges filling the sky.

Red reminding him of a certain double he had pleasure of meeting. When Izaya Orihara was dumped with more and more work, he would send his lookalike in his place. From Rubi's knowledge, no they weren't siblings. Nor the other a clone. Simply a man who worked in a bookshop and on was sometimes called up by the informant for small little tasks.

They had met up a few times, Rubi taken aback by how cold and indifferent the raven had been, and yet the warmth he radiated with each brush of fingers.

Rubi was always a secret romantic. And there; being able to stare at the young raven whose eyes shined like rubies, there was something thudding in his chest and a fuzzy feeling everytime they spoke and met. He wasn't inlove. Not yet atleast. No, he was happy. Someone who looked at him; treated him like a human, be so rudely.

He was one like everyone else. And though he would never be able to give his heart; as his job may one day take the life of the young raven, Rubi would continue to hope their meetings would remain the same. One day border when he decided he would no longer work the way he did.

For then, he hoped Roppi would wait, as he would too.
