Chapter One
"I-ZA-YA-KUN!"
"Damn it Izaya, you done it again!"
The raven-haired teen blinked and then let out a loud, cheerful laugh as he moved to the side, the alarmed brunette known as Shinra squeaking and then running away, despite the fact he was actually friends with the supposed 'monster' that was Heiwajima Shizuo. Dirty brown eyes glinted before Izaya chose to run, the strong blonde quickly on his heels.
All this because he had done one little prank. It was quite funny, but then it made Izaya's heart pump faster. It was like an adrenaline rush, only this one was like no other. Lets just say being chased around by Shizuo was the most fun thing he had ever done, and he was a human he loved to mess with.
"Come on Shizu-chan~" called the raven, ducking when a chair came flying his way. "I can't believe you're so slow!"
"Shut up flea, I'm going to kill you!"
How did this all happen? It was a long story. Izaya had appeared in Ikebukuro from out of no where and then walked into this one high school, and then the first person he happened to mess with was Shizuo, and it was a harmless tease that nearly got himself killed… and the blonde hadn't taken kindly to it at all, especially since Izaya had spread around rumours about his sexual preference.
Yes, a lot of girls where horrified to find out that Heiwajima Shizuo was gay. Many were shocked that the new student even had this information. That's why most looked at Shizuo funny and why people stayed away from Izaya, not wanting their personal lives to be delved into.
Leaping over the wall, Izaya wasn't shocked to see the bricks getting busted apart moments later, Shizuo hot on his trail. This was going to be yet another long chase, but Izaya didn't mind. It was a good distraction, and it was fun, considering he never got caught.
Rushing round a corner and then bolting through the streets of Ikebukuro, the raven ignored the gasps and the shouts aimed at him, only focused on his next path so not to get caught, since he knew Shizuo couldn't be that far behind him.
Another corner, and then Izaya stopped, his expression going blank when he was greeted by a stone-cold wall. He turned his head round and then furrowed his brows when he saw Shizuo standing there, giving him the 'killer' look as he slowly approached.
"Shizu-chan~" said Izaya, knowing he was going to be forced to use his brain to get out of this without broken-bones. "What a surprise to see you here~! Were you stalking me during my lunch-time sprint?"
Shizuo didn't say a word, simply folded his arms and leaned against a wall, only just managing to hold himself back. Besides, there wasn't anything to throw near him.
"Flea, that isn't even a funny joke," growled the blonde in response, panting lightly as he tried to catch his breath. "Today is the fucking day I get to kill you, now do me a favour, and don't make too much bloody noise."
Izaya's expression didn't change, but he felt slightly nervous as he thought about the next way out of this without getting hurt. It was quite a challenging, but if he could only run past him-
His eyes latched onto the emergency door next to him and he started hatching a plan in his head. That door should be open at this time of day, but he couldn't exactly just run through it without hesitation, now could he?
…
Yes, he could. Pulling at the handle, the door opened easily as he sprinted through it and through the one at the other side at the building, appearing on the streets again while laughing his head. This was so, so fun!
'But maybe I should be a bit more careful.' Thought Izaya, slipping into the shadows before the delightfully interesting blonde could find him again.
"Namie-chan, this is kinda stalker-ish, considering how you keep appearing at my house~" Izaya waltzed past her, opening the door to his apartment and laughing loudly. "Besides, don't you live in Ikebukuro's centre? Why are you all the way out in Shinjuku~?"
"Enough of the talk Izaya, I need to talk to you like I usually do," she said dryly, walking in and then sitting down on one of Izaya's couches, her eyes watching him calculatedly. "Tell me my usual."
"Well Miss Stalker, the only people who have been near your lovable little brother is a female called Harima Mika, but you shouldn't threat too much, she isn't going to ruin the love you have for him~"
Brushing her dark brown hair away from her face, she shot Izaya a glare before relaxing, watching as the raven sat down on his computer and yawned.
"You know, if you keep getting your name spread around, you're going to have people on to you," she muttered, her hand resting under her chin. "Let me guess, you're doing more research into Heiwajima's abnormal strength? Like I already told you, he can summon such strength by turning off all his brains warnings and using his strength to the very peak. It's no longer interesting to someone such as me."
"Well, you've probably stalked him for years, I haven't lived here that long you know~"
"You've only lived here for a month and near enough everyone knows your name!"
Izaya laughed, and Namie grew irritated as she forced herself to stay calm. If she grew irritated, then Izaya could easily use it against her, she didn't want that to happen, so she kept her lips sealed and she sat rigidly on Izaya's leather couch, waiting for him to say something.
It was around ten minutes later before Izaya even spoke up again.
"Why are you still here Miss Stalker~? I don't like the fact you're been staring at my back this whole time~" Namie blinked before getting to her feet, brushing imaginary dirt away from her skirt before marching out of the apartment, not even uttering a word as she slammed the door shut. Izaya smirked and then whirled back round in his chair, clicking on random bits of information before smirking, leaning back and laughing merrily. There was so much to do, yet so little time.
"Look, he's still alive!"
"Don't be shocked, he is Izaya Orihara after all!"
"B-But… Everyone thought Shizuo would have killed him by now…"
Shizuo, hearing his name being mentioned, felt a vein pop in his head but ignored it, trying to keep himself calm as he listened to the teacher explain something he could hardly care less about as he stared at the front of the class, his caramel-brown eyes narrowing at the raven head that was bobbing up and down. Clearly Izaya chose to listen to his headphones rather than the actual class.
Scribbling whatever was on the board, Shizuo held back a growl as he accidently snapped his pencil in half. Why didn't he just kill Izaya here? It would be so easy, but he refused to do it right now, considering there were so many people around him.
The abrupt ringing of the bell snapped everyone to their senses as they quickly packed up and exited the class, keen to get home and enjoy their Easter break. Shizuo, however, dreaded it. It would mean he would have to spend time with his mother, father and… Kasuka…
"Shizu-chan~!" the blonde looked up before looking back down, determined to ignore the raven for now. Maybe he should go talk to Shinra to distract himself- "Whacha doing~?"
"Flea, stop bugging me and run for your pathetic life before I kill you here," Shizuo didn't even look up, he continued to focusing on packing his stuff up, slowly at that. Izaya pouted before sitting on a table, a mischievous smirk on his face as brown eyes looked up at the ceiling.
"I know you don't mean that Shizu-chan~!" Izaya winked before jumping out the way, his head turned towards the board as the just-thrown chair hit and cracked it. "My, Shizu-chan is getting angry~"
"IZAYA!" Bolt. Izaya was on his feet within seconds, sprinting across the room before leaping back, glaring at the table that blocked the door before ducking, letting a somewhat childish giggle fill the air as he looked at Shizuo, noticing that he just might die if he were to stay here. "YOU FU-"
"Shizu-chan, I love you~"
A stunned silence, but it was all that Izaya needed to jump out the window, grabbing onto the window ledge of the window a floor below before slipping into it, much to Shizuo's fury. The blonde bolted and then looked down, before sighing and cracking the window ledge by mistake.
Another few moments passed before Shizuo started muttering to himself.
"Damn flea..."
Skipping through the streets of Ikebukuro, Izaya hummed happily before stopping, flipping out his phone and staring at it, noticing Shinra had texted him not long ago before laughing at it:
'Izaya, please stop bothering Shizuo, I don't want my head ripped off my shoulders any time soon.'
A smirk flickered upon the raven's lips, and he couldn't help but let out a laugh. He was going to have a very, very interesting Easter, now wasn't he?
In The Next Chapter:-
'Just who the hell are you~?'
'I'm now your employer brat, unless you have a death wish right now?'
'Ahhh, no, I don't~'
Izaya meets with Shiki, and isn't too pleased with the method the much older man had used to bring him here. By the time he appeared back in Ikebukuro, he was forced to deal with a fed up Shizuo Heiwajima and a very much pissed Namie Yagiri.
