Is This Reality?
Is this true? This is really happening...right?
Is this reality? Celty thought as she looked at the scene in front of her but not believing it.
The day had started normally. She woke up, helped Shinra with some patients (because today was her free day), hit him (normal), Shinra cried, asked for forgiveness and she gave it to him (after all she loved him).
But when someone burst into her house, everything went downhill from there. He had come in and asked to talk to Shinra. Shinra welcomed him to the living room and asked Celty to bring some tea (probably for him) and Celty even though she felt something was really odd, she went into the kitchen and made some while trying to listen to what they were talking about. They were speaking so low that eventually she gave up and finished the tea.
When she finally got to the living room, she stopped in her tracks and let the tea hit the ground. That person was aiming a gun towards Shinra and before she could use her shadows, Shinra looked at her and smiled. It wasn't a 'Shinra' smile but a serious smile. A warning. She stopped.
Shinra smiled again at her but with his usual smile and turned to that person. He talked to Shinra but she couldn't hear them at all. She was worried. She... She was afraid. Why didn't Shinra do anything? Did something happen while she was making tea? She tried to return her thoughts to reality but before she could focus, that guy turned and walked towards the corridor that led to the front door.
She walked…no...ran towards Shinra and held him. Shinra smiled at her and told her that he was fine, but he would be in heaven if she was his wife. Celty smiled (or at least she thought) and hit him. But before she typed a reply into her PDA something brought her focus back to the present.
A sound.
A gun shot.
She jumped from the sound but stood in her position.
Celty leapt in front of Shinra protectively.
Shinra was hugging her.
She hoped, prayed...she'd give anything in the world for him not to be shot. Anything in the world.
She looked at him.
No blood. No scratch. Nothing. Only his idiotic smile. He was fine.
But then what had happened?
Shinra gasped, not from pain but in surprise. She looked up and saw him looking towards the corridor. She turned and her shadows escaped from her helmet in her shock throwing it away.
Is this true? Is this really happening?
Is this reality?
She asked herself thousands of times but she didn't get any answers.
In front of her...no, in the corridor, was Shizuo leaning against the wall and in front of him was Izaya.
She would have been surprised to see them together (and not fighting), if she wasn't so distracted by the scene in front of her.
Izaya looked serious. Not a smirk nor his usual smile was on his face, nothing but a straight line . He was stern, probably angry from the way he clenched his teeth.
He was mad.
But it wasn't his face that made her freeze. It was Izaya's position. He had probably used a technique, a kickboxing move because his hands were on his chest and...
The heel of his shoe had impacted the back of the man's head... His face was pinned INSIDE the wall, breaking it...
He wasn't even flinching ... he was still showing his teeth and his foot stayed planted on the man's head.
But it was Shizuo who had made her shadows explode.
He was leaning on the wall, his arms crossed against his chest as he watched the scene in front of him.
But...it was his expression that made her freeze.
He was smiling...no... he was smirking . It wasn't his usual smirk but a darker one. It was like Izaya's.
A chill ran down her spine. It was like their roles had reversed. It was so creepy, so unreal.
Is this real?
Are those Izaya and Shizuo?
So it was true.
Something had happened between those two.
