An Ordinary Day
Chapter 1: Anything But Ordinary
Izaya sat up from his bed and looked over at the alarm clock. It read 10:30AM. He sighs and gets out of bed. Why do I always wake up before my alarm goes off?
He thought as he made his way to the bathroom. The young informant stared at his reflection for over a minute. He rubbed his hand over a fresh scar on his right cheek. He stood there for a moment and tried to remember how he got it. When the realization came to him he punched the mirror in frustration. Izaya didn't even bother taking care of his severely wounded hand when he took his night clothes off and headed into the shower. Izaya let the hot steamy water run down his back as he thought.
It happened a week ago. It was just an ordinary and boring day. With nothing else to do I went in search of Shizu-Chan. Naturally, it didn't take me long to find him.
"Izaya what are you doing here?".
"Looking for you of course.".
It didn't take much to piss him off and get him to chase me. About midway into the chase Shizu-Chan threw a car at me. Normally I'd be able to avoid a move like that easily but something...happened. The next thing I remember is waking up at Shinra's place. I took off before they could ask me anything.
"It's his fault I have this scar.".
Izaya shut the water off and got out of the shower. He got dressed and headed to Shinra's place to take care of his messed up hand, which was still bleeding due to Izaya's piss-poor job at wrapping it up. It also didn't help that there was still broken glass sticking out of his hand. Izaya was about half way there when he unexpectedly passed out. His blond rival happened upon the passed out informant.
Shizuo looked over Izaya and shook his head. "You know, I'm sick of carrying your sorry ass to Shinra's.".
Once Shizuo got to the underground doctor's place he kicked the door open, seeing how he couldn't knock.
"Shinra, you here? The stupid informant needs your attention.".
The young doctor came upstairs. "Oh, hi Shizuo. Um...did you kick my door open again?".
"That can wait, right now you need to look at Izaya.".
"So you just found him like this?".
"Yeah.".
"Hmm...he sure did a number to his hand.".
The doctor cleaned up Izaya's hand and wrapped a bandage around it tightly enough to stop the bleeding.
"I hate to say this but Shizuo you're gonna have to keep an eye on him.".
"Why me?".
"Because you gave him that scar and I think when he realized that he punched a window or something like that.".
Shizuo glares at Shinra. "There's no way in hell I'm gonna babysit him!".
"Well, he can't stay here.".
"Fine but the moment he gives me trouble you'll be stuck with him, understand?".
Shinra nods his head and Shizuo picks up Izaya to carry him to his place. Once home Shizuo put Izaya down on the couch.
He lit a cigarette and stares at the informant.
He's so much more bearable like this. Why is it you have to be such an ass, Izaya?
Shizuo looks at Izaya's injured hand. You did that to yourself because of the scar, didn't you?
Shizuo sighs and puts out the cigarette then he walks over and takes a seat on the couch. He gently takes Izaya's hand so, he can get a better look. He carefully unwraps the bandage and looks over the cuts. Izaya's hand had at least twelve cuts and each one was at least two inches long. The worst one was in the middle of his hand. It was four inches long and two inches deep. Shizuo gently put Izaya's hand down and went to the bathroom to get fresh new bandages. While he was wrapping Izaya's hand he suddenly was overcome with guilt.
I did this...
Shizuo left the room and headed outside. Needing to clear his head, Shizuo took a walk. Leaving the still unconscious Izaya alone and vulnerable.
