Don't worry. I'll be back in a few days.
"Tch," Shizuo grunted, remembering his earlier conversation with Katsumi. "Few days my ass."
Though she said she'd be away only a few days, it was going on a week that she would be at the college outside of Ikebukuro, teaching medical students there. Shizuo sighed, pulling out his pack of cigarettes, lighting one, and exhaled the smoke into the afternoon breeze. And on that same breeze he caught an oh so familiar smell.
"Damn it," he said, taking another smoke of the cigarette. "If that flea fucking comes near me-"
"Shizu-chan! ~" a familiar, cursed, sing-song voice interrupted Shizuo.
Shizuo turned his head and saw Izaya leaning against a tree not ten feet away.
"Fuck off." Shizuo said.
"Aw, is Shizu-chan missing his toy, ne? ~" Izaya danced towards Shizuo.
"She's not my toy, fucking bastard."
"Well, whatever she is to you, you miss her."
"Why does it matter to you?"
"'Cause if Shizu-chan's lonely…"Izaya said, a wicked smile crossing his face.
"I miss her but I'm not that desperate enough to…" Shizuo trailed off, taking another smoke.
"To what Shizu-chan, ne? ~"Izaya came closer to Shizuo, annoying him the he was so close to him.
Izaya was wearing Shizuo's patience to its breaking point. Shizuo shoved Izaya away and walked off, not really wanting to get into a fight.
"Aw, Shizu-chan. Where are you going, ne?" Izaya followed Shizuo, staying a few steps behind him.
"Fuck off."
"Shizu-chan doesn't want to play anymore. How boring. ~"
Damn that flea. He's really wearing my patience.
"So, where is Shizu-chan going? To his apartment? To Russia sushi? Where or where could Shizu-chan possibly be going?"
Shizuo's patience snapped. He dropped his cigarette, crushed it with his shoe, and shoved Izaya into a nearby ally. Izaya slammed into a wall, backing down the alley as Shizuo came closer, his fists clenched.
"You fucking flea. You fucking piss me off!"
Izaya backed up against a wall, nowhere else to go and Shizuo was blocking the only exit. Damn that protozoan. Izaya reached into his pocket, grabbing his flick blade when Shizuo grabbed his hand, making him release his flick blade and slammed it against the wall. With his other hand, Shizuo grabbed Izaya's throat, grasping it hard enough to where Izaya could still breathe, but it was hard to.
"Shit," Izaya breathed.
"Shit is right. I've been holding back because Katsumi asked me to. But now that my patience is gone, you're going to feel the extent of my built up wrath."
Come on. Think! You can still get out of this one.
Suddenly, it dawned on Izaya as he remembered back to high school. Shinra asked him why he and Shizuo hated each other so much. It wasn't until now that he realized why. It couldn't be more obvious. Izaya started laughing.
"What the fuck is so funny?" Shizuo asked, confused at Izaya's sudden laughing.
"Oh Shizu-chan. How fucking blind we are!" Izaya laughed. "It was in front of us the entire time."
"What are you talking about?" Shizuo stared at Izaya, still confused.
With Izaya's free hand, he grabs the back of Shizuo's head, pulling it closer, kissing Shizuo on the lips. Shizuo was shocked at Izaya's sudden action that he let Izaya go and backed away from Izaya. Izaya slipped passed Shizuo and out of the ally.
"See you later Shizu-chan! ~"
