It was a cold day.. Snow had just lightly begun to purify the world as Izaya's day went from great, to lying on the freezing ground. It had started out as a normal day, kinda slow, but mostly normal. However, he would admit that he wasn't completly himself when he left the house that moring. One could say it counted as one of those 'off days'. As mush as he loved humans, one has to admit they're only human too, and all humans come with their faults. 'Happy Depresion' just had to be his worst.
Let's take a moment to extend on what this term could mean. First off, everyone gets depressed in one way or another, whether you admit it to yourself and those around you, or you bottle it up and take it out on others. Happy depression falls perfectly inbetween the two. Happy depression is where one can know perfectly well that you might be "depressed" but that doesnt mean you have to show it. You take the other route as well, by taking it out on others no matter what the cost is to that person. And of course, no matter what the outcome of any situation, the one suffering with this problem is the one to come out on top. That can be good, but also quite bad.. But you get what I mean right?
... Izaya definatly didnt plan for his day to turn out like this. Hell, he didnt really plan for the day at all. When he left his apartment, all he could think of was him...
You might be wondering who 'him' might be. Well~ he is the life in Izaya's day. Rather the life he lives for. No matter what Izaya did, in the end it was only for Shizuo. Why does he care so much for one person? Well.. the story goes back to Shizuo's first day in highschool, or even before then. When Izaya had first layed eyes on him he knew he would be speical to him. He knew his life would change for him. He knew he would change his life for him. And how could you not? Izaya has quite an obsession with humans, and Shizuo isnt what you would call a 'normal' human. So what more could a boy who understands humans more than anyone in the world want more than someone who is different? Luckily for Izaya, he got exactly what he wanted. So.. What more could he ask for? Well, what more couldn't he ask for.. Is Shizuo to love him, just as much as he loves him to much? For Shizuo, Izaya is a source of hate. For as long as he could remember, Izaya had always made it a point to torture the older man. But maybe it wasn't so much as torture, as it is a way a child would show his love. But would Izaya admit he's childish? Childish or not. The way Izaya's life is going now might not be for the best.. Let's take the story back a bit, a week before izaya's "bad day"
