Author's note: Would the OP mind if I include other games?
Anyway, this chapter is rather fluffly in the end, but expect more humor in the next ones. Hope you like it. :D Thanks a lot for the reviews, too! ^^
Soon after the incident, everything got cleared up. Shizuo calmed down and allowed his enemy to have the remote number one, but only because Shinra intervened. He grunted in response, but he didn't want to get violent, so he just sighed and tried to control the second remote. Shinra went back to Celty, leaving the two enemies alone, trying to control the whole game.
"Okay…so, I guess we should press the start button, shouldn't we, Shizu-chan?" Izaya teased the blonde.
"Don't call me Shizu-chan, flea." He hissed.
"Oh…so hurt! You can call me flea? And I'm not allowed to give you a cute nickname like Shizu-chan?"
Shinra shut them up, and told them to start playing, so both parties sighed as they continued playing in the first slot, which was nearly completed. (Shinra had been playing for a while)
"Okay…so now we go to…multiplayer? Right, no…" Izaya talked to himself while trying to figure out where the things were.
"Izaya… it's here." The blonde ex-bartender said, pointing with his cursor to the right button.
"Wow…. Nice played, protozoan…. it looks like you aren't such a fool like I thought you were."
Soon a cushion went straight to Izaya's face. He just chuckled and laughed, pressing the right button.
Soon they were able to decide which character they were. Shinra came by and told them to choose one that wasn't their recently created Mii. He said it was better that way, since once they controlled the game they could race with their own characters, to add more tension to the whole thing.
Izaya examined all the players and all their features; while Shizuo was still deciding which character he should take. After some minutes Izaya decided to take Rosalina.
"You should take Funky Kong, Shizu-chan. See? It's a gorilla, it fits you well." Izaya said giggling, seeing how the other hadn't decided yet.
"S-Shut up, Izaya…" Shizuo said, blushing at the comment. He was quite embarrassed, but finally took Bowser.
They started with the custom races, choosing the Coconut Mall area. After some minutes, Izaya had gained the control of the whole remote, and was in the first position. Since the TV screen was split in two, he could see how Shizuo was doing. He wasn't as bad as the informant thought he would be. He was in the eight position out of twelve, but upon taking a glance at him, he could say that he didn't know what he was doing. That was a big chance for Izaya to troll his enemy, so he started talking to him.
"Hey, Shizu-chan. Need any help? Do you know what you're doing?"
"Hmppf, as if I'd take any information from you, you louse!"
"Well…I'm pretty much the best informant in whole Shinjuku, so I'd suggest you do so." Izaya laughed, looking at the screen. Shizuo was having big trouble controlling the remotes, but he didn't admit it. They continued racing until Shizuo discovered that the game offered items to use during the races.
Izaya face palmed. He had known of its existence since the race started, but it took two laps for his Shizu-chan to notice. He continued racing in the mall, enjoying the landscape and the catchy song, until his enemy talked.
"Hey…um…Izaya?"
"Yeah?"
"What's this blue item here?" Shizuo asked, referring to an item he had just gotten. Izaya drifted with his kart until he looked at the item Shizuo had.
"Oh, that's a Spiny Shell. You have to be in the first position, and then you have to shoot it, to make all the other players lose. Simple, isn't it?" Izaya explained.
All what he said was a lie, but it was too tentative. He wanted to see an angered Shizuo.
"Shall I help you to win? Come on, I'll stop for a while and let you get into the first position, okay?" He offered. Shizuo was too naïve and agreed, although he knew the flea was hiding something.
Soon, with the help of Izaya, who showed changed the remote with him, Bowser, Shizuo's character, got in the first position. Quickly, they changed again. Izaya laughed as he tried to get his character away from Shizuo's.
"Now, Shizu-chan, you only have to press that button. Yes, that one." Izaya said, pointing to Shizuo's remote.
At that moment, the Spiny Shell was released. It exploded on Shizuo's character. Soon every other character passed by him, and Izaya got the first position again. He laughed.
"IZAYAAAA! You're dead! You told me it was the right thing to do."
"My, my, Shizu-chan. You surely didn't notice the purpose of that object, didn't you? So funny." Izaya laughed.
Shizuo raged, and pressed some button, stopping the race. Then he clicked the 'quit' button.
"W-What? But I was winning, you brute! You sure didn't take that into consideration. It was only a joke! Shizu-chan can't take jokes anymore?"
"Shut up, flea."
Izaya crossed his arms, clearly annoyed. He was winning, but the protozoan had to restart the whole game. He smirked and promised himself he would get his revenge. Then he clicked in 'VS race' anew. The next routes were decided by Shizuo, who still hadn't gotten control of the remotes and was doing even worse than the first time. Izaya laughed, and after three races he called Shinra.
Shinra and Celty came running, thinking that they were already friends, only to find an extremely annoyed Shizuo and a nearly choking, laughing Izaya sitting on the couch.
"Shinra, look at what I managed to do." Izaya said. Then he clicked in new race, and looked at the other characters that were controlled by the Wii. He looked at the route and at his own character. Then he clicked in pause and looked at Shinra very seriously.
"Daisy will be the first when the race starts. Afterwards Diddy Kong will throw something at her and will win the first position, up until the second lap. I will get closer and will be the first by the end of the second lap. Donkey Kong will fall off the route three times and Shizu-chan…well…he will be the last and he will go the other way round since he doesn't control the remote." He explained. Then he started the race.
Much to Celty's and Shinra's astonishment, it all happened just like Izaya predicted. Shizuo was racing the other way round, with the strange animal on the cloud following him and directing him towards the right direction. Donkey Kong fell to the lake three times, being pushed by some other character. Izaya won, after the second lap. Then he laughed at his prediction.
"Not only I can predict my beloved human's reactions, but also the ones of the controlled characters." He said, laughing. Shizuo had to admit that it was pretty amazing.
"Oh, come on. Don't look at me like that, Shizu-chan." He said. Then he quitted the race and went to Shizuo's side.
"It's boring when you aren't able to compete. I'm going to help you, Shizu-chan." He said, starting a race again.
"Okay, you have to control it like this. You see, Shizu-chan?" He said, holding Shizuo's hands. He corrected him a few times and after a while, he managed to control it all by himself.
"Watch out, Izaya!" Shizuo shouted, seeing how his enemy was about to fall.
Then he pushed him to the other side, so that he wouldn't hit an item. Then he helped him when he got stuck in a shortcut. Izaya wondered about it, but he didn't reply.
In the last bit of the third lap the lights went out, interrupting the game. Both of the boys complained to Shinra.
"It's not my fault. It's late, anyway." He said. "Celty, dear, wouldn't you mind checking the lights?"
Celty nodded and walked down the stairs, trying to solve the problem.
"In the meantime, why don't you go home, take some things with you and come back. We could do a sleepover, like the ones we used to do in high school." Shinra suggested.
"Yeah…nice idea." Shizuo agreed, combing his blonde hair.
"But, you will have to sleep in the same room. Is that a problem?" He warned, adjusting his glasses.
Izaya negated with the head.
"We will be playing until late, anyway, so I don't think there will be much problem." He pointed out. Shizuo agreed with him and both went out.
His hands dug in his pockets, Izaya hummed while walking back until he noticed a certain blonde following him. He turned around and confronted him.
"Where are you going, protozoan? Don't you know we live in different places?"
Shizuo blinked, then he watched his steps and the direction he was taking and mumbled something. He took a cigarette and started smoking.
"Ahm…sorry." He said, shaking his head and going back to his house.
Izaya shook his head, sighing, and went to his apartment. He was still wondering about Shizuo's reaction.
'He smiled three times…then he didn't care about the fact that I was holding his hands…he protected me three times…what is this all about?' He thought, opening the door.
Quickly, he took nightclothes and three books with him and locked the door. When he arrived Shizuo was already sitting there, with his arms crossed. He smiled at Izaya. Celty typed something into her PDA.
"No way this is working. We wanted to watch something in the television, so we can't let you play right now. I'm sorry Izaya."
"Ah, I see…so we will have to wait till tomorrow?"
"Yes."
Izaya nodded, although he was a bit annoyed. He wanted to thank Shizuo, but he didn't know how. He went to the guest room, and sat on one of his beds. He took his book out and started to read.
Soon, Shizuo entered the room. He sat on his bed, and sighed.
"What are you reading, flea?"
Izaya turned his book around, so he was able to read the title.
"Inverse Psychology for human mind and emotions? Looks pretty difficult."
Izaya nodded, concentrated. Shizuo blushed.
The blonde ex-bartender wasn't so sure about what to think. Suddenly, he felt strange being by the raven-haired informant's side. It was pretty difficult for him to understand, so he just sighed until Shinra knocked on the door.
"You can continue to play. Everything's ready now."
"Didn't you say you wanted to watch a film?" Izaya asked, still reading.
"Yes, yes, but that's all solved now. It was on another day, so you don't have to worry about that."
Izaya left the book on the side and happily went to the living room. He sat next to Shizuo and started the game.
"I think it's time for us to play with the Miis. Don't you think so, too?" The blonde asked, looking straight at the TV.
Izaya nodded, and went to the character selection page. Upon clicking on the Mii character, they had to put their own in the page, so they proceeded to select the faces. Then both of them waited for the selection to be completed, only to be disappointed.
"WHAT?" Both shouted when they saw their Miis and the cars they had.
Izaya's character was pretty small, it had a high voice and it only had baby cars.
"Why…am I a baby?" He shouted at the television. Shizuo only laughed until he saw his own character. It was a giant, and it had a horrible voice, like if it was played in a slow way.
"So…now we are Baby Izaya and Giant Shizu-chan." Izaya said.
"I…I don't like it."
"Me neither, Shizu-chan. Me neither."
"Oh, I find your baby self rather cute."
"WHAT?"
Celty and Shinra were observing the whole scene, laughing quietly at the responses they were giving.
"You know what is the most entertaining? They don't seem to hate each other anymore. Look at the way they say everything. There's no rage."
"You've got a point, Celty. I think we've done a pretty good job." Shinra nodded. But at the same time, Izaya was hitting Shizuo because of what he had said. Both of them laid on the couch and tried to injure the other one seriously. After some minutes, they stopped and seeing what a weird discussion they were having, they started to laugh at themselves. Izaya blushed, but tried to hide it. They started fake fighting again.
When the owners of the house were about to sit down on the couch, they observed a rather cute scene: Izaya sleeping on top of Shizuo, with his remote in his hand. Shizuo had placed his arm over Izaya's body.
"I…won't lose, Shizu…chan." The raven-haired informant mumbled in his sleep, slightly blushing.
"We're winning, Celty, I think they're starting to get along."
"Let us wait for tomorrow, Shinra."
"Yeah, I'm pretty tired too, my love."
With that last sentence, Celty took a blanket out and put it over the pair. Then they turned off the light and went to sleep to their own bedroom.
