After finally drinking some pain relievers I headed to class. When I entered the class I was stunned to see that girl sitting beside Shizu-chan. I clench my fists and take my seat behind Shizu-chan. I look over to the girl and see that she does seem to be quite beautiful. Her delicate features, her slender physique, her silky, long hair; she seems flawless. But if I've learned anything from teenage movies, the popular girl always has flaws with which you can bring her down. Wait, I've never seen a teenage girl movie…Must have been when I was babysitting my twin sisters. God they can be annoying. Well, first things first I have to get her name. Shizu-chan's not gonna introduce me to her after the fight we had so I'm going to have to resort to my clever and sneaky skills to get my information.
1. Find out the girl's name.
The teacher writes something on the board after he tells everyone to get into pairs. Out of routine I want to move close to Shizu-chan, but he's already sitting next to that girl. I shoot daggers at her, but she doesn't seem to notice. Just like a snobby girl to ignore the best friend or ex-girlfriend to piss them off. Well, it sure is working. I already have my hand on my knife that's in my pocket, ready to throw it at her. I'm stopped by someone sitting next to me, claiming me as their partner. I look over and find that it's Dota-chin.
"You want to be partners?" Dota-chin asks calmly. I look over to him and blink in surprise. We're not really friends. Actually more like acquaintances, but it's not like I prefer to be alone, so I accept his offer and we begin working on the small project we've been assigned. It's a simple geometry problem, well simple to me since I enjoy any and all subjects and I'm a genius. Shizu-chan is an idiot so I'd help him on his homework on the weekends, but now I'm not sure if he's gonna have time for me if he has her. "Man, you're pretty smart. This is the first time I've been done with a worksheet this fast."
"Meh, it's pretty simple. Let me explain it to you." I suddenly see Shizu-chan's eyes travel from his work to me and Dota-chin. We make eye contact and then he scowls and continues to his work. I grit my teeth as she smiles at him and places her hand on his. My head is screaming at her but on the outside the only thing that betrays me is my slightly anger expression on my face which Dota-chin notices. He seems to assume that my sudden change in character is because of Shizu-chan, but he's wrong. Doesn't he know what assume means?
"Hey, Dota-chin who's that girl, the one sitting next to Shizu-chan?" I ask calmly with my usual composed disposition. Dota-chin looks over to the girl and then looks back at me with a smile.
"Oh, that's Hina Miyagi. She just transferred here. Seems like Shizuo and her have really hit it off." Dota-chin says with a smile. Is it really true? Can it be that I've slipped up and allowed Shizu-chan to actually find happiness? I don't remember a time when I left him alone except for that one summer when I went to camp. He couldn't have met her then because she just transferred here. Hina Miyagi…it seems like I've heard that name before…Better continue my investigation further.
"When did this friendship start, Dota-chin?"
"Not really sure. I think Shinra knows though. Shizuo and he have been talking a lot lately. Maybe they're having 'guy talk' about it." He shrugs and continues on the worksheet. Of course! But why wouldn't Shizu-chan want to talk about these kinds of with me? What's wrong with me? Granted I did try to stab him in the head with a knife this morning, but besides this morning I haven't…Oh…well Shizu-chan always gets over any little prank I do. It's not like he hates me. That would be crazy. I mean…
"You're right. It was impossible to begin with because just the sight of you makes me angry! Just stay out of my fucking life!"
Oh right…Well, Shizu-chan always forgives me. It's part of the game. I make him angry, we fight, I run away, I win, and then he forgives me. It's a vicious cycle I know, but Shizu-chan doesn't have the brains to understand that he's just running around in it. After our first two classes, which me and Shizu-chan have together, we both head off to break. This time, he goes with that girl again and he's…laughing…I didn't even know Shizu-chan could do that! He hardly ever even smiles at me. I trudge along to my locker feeling completely distraught and pissed. I've never been away from Shizu-chan for this long…
"Oi, Izaya-kun where's Shizuo?" Shinra asks as he approaches me. He looks at me with a concerned look as I lift up my head. I hold onto my knees and sigh.
"I don't know…look, I just want to be alone…" I say weakly as I feel as though something is lying on my chest—something really heavy. Shinra kneels down and checks my forehead, but I slap his hand away.
"Well, you don't have a fever." If I said I was heartbroken he couldn't do anything about it. Doctor's don't have a cure for something so abstract. I guess anti-depressant drugs could do the trick, but I'm not going down that road. "Come on, Kodata and me are going to the food court to get a snack."
"Just leave me here to die…" I say weakly.
Suddenly we hear a loud crash down the hall and a cloud of dust forms that heads in our direction. Shizu-chan, I just know it's him. I get up and run over to the scene where a bunch of people have already gathered. I sigh and crouch down to slip through the crowd. I guess being slightly shorter than Shizu-chan has its advantages. I finally get to the inner circle of the crowd and see the girl Shizu-chan was with and Shizu-chan himself. A vending machine is jammed into the wall in back of her, but she seems unfazed. Shizu-chan is still fuming so he's still breathing heavily. Everyone around is wondering all kinds of questions. For instance, "What is wrong with that guy?" or "Isn't she gonna run?" I'm pondering the same questions, but before I can even turn around to see where Shinra and Dota-chin are, I feel a pair of eyes towards me. I look over at Shizu-chan and see that he's still angry but instead of continuing to aim this rage at Hina, he begins to aim it at me. He clenches his fists and I quickly make my way through the crowd. I run away by force of habit, but I'm not even sure why Shizu-chan is suddenly angry over something that girl did. I don't mind getting chased around if I deserve it, but this is just barbaric.
Shizu-chan finally gets a hold of my arm and forces me into a closet. He looks at me menacingly as he turns on the light. I smirk at him, but I know my voice is going to betray me.
"W-what's the matter, Shizu-chan…?" I ask him as I try to make a good amount of distance between us.
"Why do you still stick around?" He asks loudly. "Why are you always around!"
"What?"
"Ever since we were kids you've been following me. I've already told you before to stay away from me."
"I was just curious about what happened."
"Your smell is everywhere! It's driving me crazy!" My smell? I took a shower this morning what is he blabbering on about? "I told you this morning, didn't I? I told you that I didn't want you around, didn't I?"
"I didn't think you were serious." I say with a calm laugh. "I mean, Shizu-chan usually would have forgiven me by now."
"We're not kids anymore! I'm not joking about this! I don't want you around!"
"Well, where do you expect me to go!" I ask loudly, losing my cool façade.
"I don't care, just far away from me!" It cut deep. So he's serious? He suddenly opens the door and looks at me one final time before leaving. Of course it's impossible for me to leave anywhere…I still have school to go to…and it's almost the end of the year I can't slip up now…Shizu-chan is just so unreasonable…
I slide to the floor of the closet and sigh. I hold my knees and start to curse Shizu-chan. It makes me feel a bit better, but it doesn't heal the wound in my heart. Doesn't he ever know how to be gentle with someone? Why is it that he got mad at that girl and then came after me? It doesn't make any sense.
I realize that I'm being pathetic to be sitting here. I can't let this get to me. I certainly can't let Shizu-chan love someone that isn't me…Is that what I want? Do I want him to love me? What brought that on?
"Izaya-kun! You're still alive!" Shinra says as he sees me approach him and Dota-chin. "Boy, I thought you'd be a goner for sure. That whole scene was pretty intense though. All the guys are pretty jealous about the whole thing. I mean, Hina is so beautiful and yet she hangs around Shizuo? And she's still hanging around him even after all that! Amazing, that girl has a lot of guts."
Jealous? That's it!
Something must have shown on my face because Shinra asks me what the matter is and I simply smile and tell him it's nothing. I first need to set out this plan. First things first, I need to get information on this girl to know who I'm dealing with and I think I know how to do it.
"I'll see you guys later~! I'm kind of busy right now!" I say happily. Dota-chin and Shinra are confused but they wave goodbye anyway.
2. Get information on this girl and what she means to Shizu-chan.
If Shizu-chan doesn't want me around then I'll just have to do this in the shadows. I'm capable of doing so. I don't mind. It'll take a while, but I'll be by Shizu-chan's side again because that's where I belong.
A/N: Yay, Izaya is plotting! I'm really getting sad everytime I write that Shizu-chan is with that girl DX Don't get me wrong I don't mind hetero pairings but I prefer my favorite yaoi pairings. Anways, please please please review! I really love hearing everyone's input and ideas. I love all of you who read, favorite, review. You guys are the definition of awesome! See you in the next chapter! Btw, I've having finals tomorrow, so I might update later in the day, or maybe in the morning before I go, I'm not sure yet. But I will update tomorrow!
