Learning Love

by YaoiIsMyDrug.23

Izaya's sisters just died. He blames himself and becomes depressed, unable to deal with the strong emotions of guilt and grief he feels as he's never experienced them before. Shizuo is as shocked by Izaya's new found vunerability as the man himself but rather than take advantage of it as expected, he finds himself wanting to comfort and protect this more fragile Izaya

1. Chapter 1

This is my first fanfic 0_0 Soz if it's not very good, please tell me if there's anything wrong with my technique. Yeah, I know Izaya is a bit OOC, I haven't actually seen the show I just love this pairing and wanted to contribute ;) thnx! 3

Izaya skipped down the street in Ikebukuro, humming softly to himself. A pensive mood such as the one he was in at the moment was rare; he usually acted of a more snide persuasion. There was a reason for this temperament, not that you would guess it by looking at him. No, Izaya was not the picture of devastation most would expect him to be if they'd known about the recent deaths of his twin sisters, Mairu and Kururi Orihara.

But inside, Izaya was a wreck. It would have been better for him if it'd been a murder, because then at least he would be able to find some sort of closure in revenge. As it was, how could Izaya fight against the elements? For all he called himself a god, Izaya was unable to stop the freak thunderstorm that claimed the lives of his siblings. Izaya prided himself on never getting close to humans, never forming attachments to those with lives as fragile as grains of dust in the wind. Now he realized he had failed. With all the aloof coldness of the mask he wore, Izaya was unable to stop the sensations of both grief and guilt that were building up inside of him.

This is my fault, a punishment from the gods. My pride, no, my arrogance, cost my sisters their lives.

He smiled with grim amusement at the thought. With all that I call Shizu-chan a monster, I am the true beast, ne?
