Without even thinking about it, not giving it a single thought, Shizuo reached down towards the falling man. It was like everything went in slow motion, like just reaching over the ledge to catch the informant took hours, when it actually only took a very few seconds. His hand grabbed around Izaya's wrist, quickly tightening it's grip to stop him from falling.
Izaya, who had closed his eyes, felt the rough pull on his one arm. But he just thought he was dead already. He dangled over the edge for several moments, before he finally realized, that he wasn't dead. His eyes quickly shot open, forcing a small tear run down his cheek. His heart was racing faster than it ever had, and his eyes were wide open and locked down at the ground under him.
It felt like hours, before Izaya finally tilted his head up to look at the person who saved him. When his eyes met the blond bodyguard's face, they widened slowly even more. His mouth slowly opened, but he was unable to utter a single word. Not even a small sound escaped him. He just stayed silent.
Shizuo's heart was racing, as he watched the raven haired informant dangling over the edge of the roof. Why did he catch him? Finally, he pulled the smaller male back up on the roof, his hand not letting go off the thin wrist. He took a step back, as he sat the informant down on the roof. He felt some kind of relief, like he actually was happy he had saved Izaya, the man he hated the most in the entire world.
Izaya suddenly felt the urge to let the tears run from his already wet eyes. But he held them back. He would feel pathetic to cry. Izaya Orihara didn't cry. He never did. Not in front of anyone. His eyes didn't leave the blond, and even though his wrist hurt like hell, he didn't even try pulling it back to himself. Of course he was happy to be saved from his death, but he was very surprised who his savior was. "Sh-Shizu-chan..." was all he could bring out form his mouth. His breathing were heavy and deep, he was panting heavily and his heart didn't slow down. He was shaking like hell, as he touched the ground, or rather the roof, now under him. He couldn't stand because of the shakiness, so he just quickly sat down on the dirty and flat surface, his eyes not leaving Shizuo's face for even a single second.
Finally, Shizuo let go off the shorter male's wrist, letting him fall to the flat surface. He himself could barely stand. He didn't know, that just by the thought of it, the informant's death would have shaken him this much. But unlike Izaya, he didn't move at all. He stood like frozen, looking down at the raven haired he just had saved not a minute ago.
After what felt like hours, Izaya finally pulled himself up from the ground until he stood up. Though he was still shaking like hell. He stared up at the blond for only a few seconds, before he quickly wrapped his arms around the taller male's neck and pulled himself close.
Shizuo quickly pulled away from the shorter male though. Even though he had just saved him, it meant nothing to him. Or so he thought, at least. He took several steps away from the raven haired, his eyes not leaving his face for some reason. He opened his mouth to say something, but quickly shut it again when not a single sound came out.
The raven haired informant's eyes slowly drifted up to look at the blond brute. He finally gave in. Tears started rolling down his cheeks and he sniffled several times. His crimson eyes were locked at the taller man, as he slowly fell to the ground again. His legs just gave in. He couldn't stand up anymore. Being near his death had shaken him more than he thought it ever would.
Shizuo's eyes slowly widened at the sight of the now crying informant. He had never seen him cry before, and he never thought he should. Even though he still felt quite angry, he just walked to the shorter male and sat down in front of him, quickly wrapping his arms around the thin body and pulling him in to a hug.
"Sh-Shizu-chan..." Izaya said in a whispering tone and froze for only a very short second, before he quickly wrapped his arms around the taller male, hugging back.
They stayed like that for what felt like hours, but really only was a few moments, before Shizuo slowly pulled a bit away from the thinner male, not removing his arms from him. He didn't say a single word, as he watched Izaya. Very slowly he leaned close to the raven haired to make their lips meet, but stopped himself very quickly, right before they kissed. A short and silent sigh escaped his lips and he slowly pulled away, letting go of Izaya. "Flea... Just because I saved you... Well, it doesn't mean anything, okay..?"
A small and pretty much invisible blush appeared on Izaya's cheek, as he felt the other man's breath. But when he pulled back, he felt some kind of disappointment. Like he actually wanted to kiss the bodyguard. He knew he did, to be honest. "O-Okay... I know it didn't mean anything, Shizu-chan." And by that sentence, he slowly stood up, wiped his tears away and smiled his usual confident smile. Though there was a small sadness hidden somewhere in his face. "Well, I'm gonna go now, my dear monster~" He turned around and quickly ran towards the metal latter, that let down the roof. "Bye, Shizu-chan~ !" was the last thing he said, before he quickly climbed down the latter and escaped from the former bartender's vision.
Shizuo looked after Izaya, but surprisingly he didn't chase after him. He just stayed on the roof for a few moments, before he finally decided to go home.
Hours later, Shizuo's apartment...
Shizuo quickly walked to the door, as someone's knocks filled the room. It was already dark and pretty close to midnight. But he was still up. When he opened the door, his eyes met the raven haired informant. He sighed shortly, but didn't even shut the door. "What do you want, flea?" was the only thing he said.
Izaya looked up at the blond bodyguard for several moments. He didn't answer the question. All he did was quickly walking close to Shizuo, wrapping his arms tightly around his neck and without letting the man say or do a damn thing, he smashed their lips together in a soft kiss.
A/N: I'm sorry it took so long to get this chapter done. I've been really busy. I wrote this chapter, because I finally had time. The RP site I'm on, went down (for God knows which time) and I finally had no homework, so I took the time to write again.
Thank you so much for the reviews~ ! ^w^
