Hey there. PrincessEvaOfTheZone here. I thought about this fic, while listening to a song, which struck a cord in me. If you want to know the song, it's ''Outside'' by Ellie Goulding. Which means: It's not mine. This is originally a one-shot, but if you want more, leave a review.
Do you know your soulmate? How do you know, that he or she is the one destined for your life? How can you recognize them in the crowd? Maybe you have already passed them on the street, go to a same class with them, maybe they are your best friend. Maybe, it's a person across the whole country or world. Maybe it's a celebrity or a criminal. Maybe it's the same or opposite gender of you. Maybe the person is ugly. That would be bad, don't you it's worse, when that special someone is your worst mortal enemy.
You'll say, so what? How could any of you know that. In this world, you can see your soul-mate's loneliness. If they are not lonely, you wont notice anything, but a small faded light over them. Once they get lonely, sad, angered or hurt, a glass dome starts to build over them, which only can seen by their significant other and can only be broken by their love, affection, apology, etc. But if their significant other makes the damage themselves, it's double the pain. For if your destined one does not love you, is there still a hope to be happy in life. Is there still a meaning to your life, when the one, that god has created for you, doesn't love you?
If the dome gets too big and too thick, it's owner will die of a broken heart if it's not broken.
This is the story of how one Izaya Orihara met his significant other, which turned out to be his worst enemy. And the raven knew- he would die lonely and of a broken heart.
It was a warm school day in the academy of Raira. It was the end of the school day and the sun was slowly setting, making the scene look peaceful, except for the football goal, that was flying in the air.
A blond student was slightly angered, his fist in the air, face with bruises and cuts, breathing hard. When the smoke finally cleared, the blond heard a faint clapping behind him, and when he turned, he was met face to face with his classmate, and another boy, which he had seen coming to school.
''Meet Izaya Orihara from our junior high. And well, he's a pretty good guy.'' Shinra introduced them, a playful smirk on the raven haired boy's face.
If Shizuo wasn't so angered, he would welcome the a bit annoying boy, who smiled at him, but now that small smirk did bug him to his core.
Shinra opened his mouth to say something more, but the blond beat him to it, saying words, that he instantly regretted, when they left his mouth.
''You piss me off.''
The raven felt a painful pang in his heart. Because he knew that this monster of a blond, was indeed his soul-mate, since he could see Shizuo's dome around him, like a shield from all the hatred he got in class and just now in the field.
The blond didn't even talk to him, never really looked at him, and already he had made the strong heart of Izaya, receive it's first crack. Being a manipulative, smart, coy and shy person, Izaya dropped the matter, putting on a mask, masking his hurt and the already painful weight of the dome, which now hung over him like a glass prison.
''Really? Too bad, I was thinking you and I could have some real fun together?''
''Shut up.'' The blond barked back, turning his back to the raven, which just tried to talk to the blond. Feeling the dome already taking a toll on his shoulders, Izaya pushed the pain in the back of his mind, trying to hide his glass with confidence.
''Now why you gotta be like that, Shizuo?''
Izaya just wanted to tease the blond, but he did not expect the enraged Shizuo to charge at him, his fist ready to punch him. At the last moment, Izaya was able to jump out of the way, but was harder than ever, now with the extra weight on his shoulders. Putting on another confident mask and hiding the dome, Izaya whipped out his pocket knife he had for self-defense, slashing a small gash into the blond's chest, ripping his shirt.
''See, isn't this a blast?''
After that being said, a long chase went through the city, with vending machines and stop signs flying through the air. It started as just a small misunderstanding, which led to a year long grudge, whenever they saw one-another.
Izaya was powerful enough to hold the mask on his dome, but it was slowly slipping down. It was harder to run away from Shizuo, harder to jump, walk, eat, sleep. Even breath. Because no matter from which way you looked, there was a huge dome over Izaya's head, invisible to human eye, which indicated, that Izaya Orihara was lonely.
The raven was worried, for the day, when his mask will slip away from the glass, and Shizuo, if he likes it or not, will see it. And when that day comes, Izaya fears that it will be the last day he will live.
For who can learn to love an enemy?
