"Woah, wait. Don't do that again." I shake my head when he leans in to my lips suddenly, my hand to his mouth rendering him from advancing forward. "I barely even know you."

A pout appears on this newly acquaintanced person's face when I did that. He groans through covered mouth, sending vibrations to my palm.

I don't know whether to smile at his antics, or frown at this straightforward nature of his. His kisses are sweet, yes, but I'm not some whore who let people kiss me whenever they can. The first time is just a shock factor, I won't be fooled twice.

I let go of him when I'm sure he won't advances further to me.

"Aw, you're no fun, Shizu-chan." He purs in a playful tone, but all the while sighing like he is dissapointed with the outcome. He shrugs his shoulders and goes to his bed, sitting on it to get dressed.

I stare at him shuffling through his bed looking for clothing items. A part of me is puzzled by the fact that this person would waltz around, with blanket drape around his waist, half naked like that when he could be wearing full-on attire all along, and yet he chooses against it. I don't get it.

"'Shizu-chan'? What the hell is that?" I repeat his words, tilting my head slightly at the ridiculous nickname that he has called me twice. Where does he comes up with this kind of randomness?

"That's what I've decided to call you from now on, ne?" he nods, finished wearing his jeans and proceeds with his shirt.

"Uh, how about a no?" I walk forward and stare at him some more, seeing him wearing all black attire from top to bottom, earning a raised eyebrow when I decline the pet name. "And why would you even call me that?"

"Eh, because I like you, Shizu-chan. Duh~" He simply confesses, seemingly sounds like it is the natural thing to do. "Isn't it obvious to call someone you like with a cute nickname?"

"Wha- L-like me?" I immediately widen my eyes at his reply, contemplating whether I do that because he just confessed to me or of his ridiculous reasoning. But I decide on the former due to my face heats up staring at him.

"Hmmm~ yeah. Honestly, I like you more than I thought I would." He says again, earning another surprise from me. The male then gets up and places his hands on either side of his waist, looking at me with a confident tilt of his head. "So let's get to know each other better so you can like me too, ne?"

For the first time, I am left speechless on what to say.

First he kissed me, and now he confessed that he likes me? I mean, I just met him today and he decides on just that? How can you like someone you just barely know?

I mean, what kind of like is he talking about exactly? I should probably take it as a positive remark of him wanting to be friends, but his suggestive look says otherwise.

Who is this person, really?

"Hey, you-" My voice comes to an abrupt stop when a loud grumble resides both of our eardrums. The person looks at me and my stomach in wide eyes, and I only need so much to hide my embarrassment in a grave or something.

"Puhahahahahahaha!" He laughs like there's no tomorrow, smacking his hand onto his lap countless of times to emphasise his undying roar of laughter. "What are you hiding in there, a dinasour?! Hahahaha!"

His joke is pretty petty but is still mockingly humiliating. I don't know what to do except accept my reality and facepalm myself to avoid my red face being expose.

He move forward, still giggling like a broken machine, and holds my wrist, beckoning me to follow him as he passes me and goes to the door.

"Uh, where are we going?" I ask incredulously. There are still more things puzzling about him that I want to find out, after all.

He stops his movement, wiping away his tears, and stare at me with narrowed, playful eyes. "You're hungry, right?" He smirks one last time, his orbs flash magnificently to meet my gaze. "Well, me too. So let's go, Shizu-chan."

I am about to address that silly name again, but as he tightens his hold on to my wrist, whistling away walking like a happy kid, I somehow decide against it.

XxXxXxX

I stare in disbelief at the heavily accumulated food when the raven places them down on the table. He sits down and honestly, they cover almost half of his view. I raise an eyebrow, "For someone so thin, I never expected you to have a bottomless pit in your stomach."

"Hm~ Do you know when you exercise a lot, you burn what you eat?" He asks while lightly laughing at my words, biting down on his burger.

"Um, yeah?"

"Well, I burn my food through my brains, you see." I shake my head because no, I do not see. He groans as I do that, already finished with his burger and takes another food to eat next. Seriously, how fast can you eat? "To put it simply, I think a lot and for that, I need a lot of energy to go by my days. This is how I compensate those energy."

"Pfft, what? Do you expect me to believe those bullshit?" I growl at his explanation.

"Bullshit or not, it's the truth. You don't have to believe in me if you don't want to, Shizu-chan." He shrugs with a smile, continuing to eat the monstrosity in front of him. I still cannot accept how he could ingest all these food all by himself. His face looks absolutely normal consuming them one by one into his mouth.

Who's the dinasour now, huh?

"You say you think a lot, which I guess you're practically saying you're a genius?" I furrow my eyebrows when he shamelessly nods at my assumption. Tch, smartass. "Okay then, what do you major in?"

"Psychology. I love to study about how humans work. It's hard but very interesting." He simply says, not explaining any further. I want to ask what he means by that, but didn't pressure on as I can see he is busy eating away those food. "How about you?"

"Arts. More specifically... sculpting." I states while slurping on my strawberry milk, looking away as I answer him.

"Heh~ How neat. I guess that's a double plus to your good looks too~" He hums while placing his elbows onto the table, both of his hands cup his chin as he playfully stares at me. "Maybe I should be your model sometimes, Shizu-chan."

"W-what are you saying!" I shouted at his obvious look of seduction, smacking both of my hands onto the table. "A-and there's nothing neat about it...!" I immediately stare to the ground when his eyes bore into mine. For some reason, I couldn't look at him when he's like this. It reminds me of his confession just now and the sheer thought of it makes me blush. "I'm sorry, I'm not as good as you think I am..."

"Eh? Why ever not?" He titls his head in confusion, and I can merely lower my head to answer him.

"My temper always gets the best of me, so I often mess up whenever I sculpt something. It's... infuriating sometimes... not being able to control this emotion."

I stare downwards at what I just confessed. It's true though. I love to scuplt, it takes my mind of the poison of the world. But my temper has always been my worst fear, and seeing what I have created out of anger by my own hands, in a horrifying disaster, it often makes me sad and dissapointed with myself.

"Hmm~ But that doesn't really defines how great you really are, right?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" I flip my head up at the puzzling words he says.

"Well, given your temper or not, you evidently love what you do, don't you?" The male asks me this question and I nod slowly. "See? The passion is there, burning inside of you. You put your heart into it, so don't give up on it, Shizu-chan."

He smiles while saying this, and I couldn't help myself but do the same as a reply. His words are not a mere cherry on top of a cake. It doesn't sound artificial like most peoples' encouragements. The way he speaks of them are sweet and reassuring, almost sincere. It gives comfort to my ears.

He might be weird for what he is, but he is very good with words.

"O-of course I won't! That's why I'm studying this to get better!" I growl loudly, looking away with a faint blush on my cheeks. This person is affecting me in a weird way, and I don't like it. It feels different and foreign, like something I never felt before.

"That's the spirit, ne?" He says in a heartbeat, finishing his food with the lick of his fingers. The person then excuses himself to go wash his hands.

I stare at his build from the back, and it just dawns on me that I just ate lunch with Shinra's mysterious roommate and talking to him like I have known him for years. But in fact, we know absolutely nothing about each other except for our conversation just now.

"Shizuo-kun?" A person's voice chimes suddenly from my side, jolting me from my thoughts.

I look toward the direction of the voice, and widen my eyes. "Shinra!" I state out loud as the person places his hand on my shoulder and pouts at me.

"You ate lunch without me~? That's so cruel, you know! I was hungry!" He says in a whiny tone, sitting at the chair beside me.

"You're the one who left me, idiot." I shove his arm lightly, earning a yelp from him. God, I almost forgot how annoying he can be when he is left alone.

"What? When did I leave you? I was waiting for you as usual in my room, okay!" He huff a sigh, sounding sad as he slumps on his chair.

"Huh?! Your roommate says you went out, that's why I never bothered to ask!" I can feel my veins start to pop out when I have enough of his bullshit. This stupid idiot thinks he can lie right to my face, when I clearly didn't see him at his room at all just now!

"What?! Wait- My roommate, you say? You mean Orihara-kun? He's back?" Shinra looks at me in a confused face, and that strikes me as odd because of the way he asks about the raven haired male. What does he mean by 'he's back'?

"Hey there, Shinra." Another person's voice says, Shinra and I flip our head to the person standing in front of us, slurping on his juice. He stares at us with an innocent expression that you won't think he's done anything wrong.

"Orihara-kun!" Shinra speaks again, this time keeping his eyes on the raven. "When did you get back?"

Huh? What does Shinra mean by that? I know he's not here most of the times, but judging by how Shinra asks these questions, I'm curious for long he has gone.

"This morning," the raven simply replies, looking at me in a flash as he forms an unknowing smirk before returning his gaze at Shinra. I raises my eyebrow at the gesture. "And I think you'll see me more often starting today, ne?"

"Um, okay?" Shinra slowly says as he consumes those words of the raven's into his brain before looking at the two of us. "Wait. How did you two meet again?"

"Oh, Shizu-chan came to our room to search for you- ah- Excuse me." A sudden ting of tone chimes in our ears and I look at the raven. His hand in his pocket, flinging out his phone. The person looks at the screen, types up something really fast and closes it shut immediately after. He then flips his head up to meet our gaze once again. "Anyway, yeah, he came and I said you went out."

I both cringe and sigh in relief at his reply, knowing he missed out on the explicit details of our meeting to the brunet. I flip my head at Shinra, and watches as his facial changes from confusion to bafflement.

"Wha- Orihara-kun! I didn't go anywhere!" He fixes his spectacles on the bridge of his nose, sighing in defeat as his eyebrows tighten. "I went to the toilet because I couldn't hold it in. I told you!"

"Eh, really?! My bad, Shinra!" He gasps in return, and I didn't see it being genuine as it sounds fake and amused. "But it's your fault too! You didn't tell me about Shizu-chan!"

"What!" Both me and Shinra snap in unison, me for the obvious reason of my 'name' suddenly being announced out loud. What the hell did I have to do in this situation?!

"Shizu-chan's such an attractive person, it's an insult not introducing him to me!" He retaliates, and true to his words, looking really insulted by his facial expression. And here I thought it was a legitimate reason but fuck me, I am definitely wrong.

"Orihara-kun~!" Shinra whines in almost an exhaustion at hearing the raven's excuse. I think I got the gist of why he won't introduce me to him in the first place.

And suddenly a phone rings, the raven lifts one finger at us, gesturing to hold our confusing conversations, before answering his dark-blue coloured phone without even looking at it. "Chika-chan?" He says, questioning the identity of the caller as he backs away from us.

"Shizuo-kun... I'm sorry," I suddenly turn my head to the distressed voice of Shinra. "He lied to you about me being gone."

"Yeah. I figured as much." I sigh, patting my hand onto the brunet's shoulder. My eyes travel back to the troublesome raven when I see he has finished his call and is walking toward our direction.

"Oh, and one thing, Shizuo-kun-"

"Ah, sorry you guys. I've got to go now." Shinra's voice gets interrupted when the raven quickly says before flipping his head to me. "And Shizu-chan, it was very nice to meet you by the way. 'Till we meet again, I guess?"

"Eh? Wait," I stand on my feet at the sudden movement from him as he jogs away from us. "Orihara-!"

"It's Izaya, Shizu-chan." He looks at me for the last time, smiling widely as he raises up his hand to bid us goodbye. "Next time we meet, call me Izaya, okay?!" He says finally, and quickly dissapear into the crowds of people.

"Izaya, huh?" I pronounce the words out loud, feeling a bit strange at the unfamiliarity of calling his first name. I snap my head back to Shinra. "Oh, what were you about to say just now?"

"Nevermind. Too late for it, I guess." Shinra just sighs, and walks away from me to buy his lunch. I can see his lips moving mumbling something that I couldn't quite hear.

Shrugging him off, I sit back and stare at the empty chair that the raven sit just now. "Izaya." I say again, feeling my lips automatically curve upwards at the thought of seeing him again.

Izaya, when will our next meeting be, I wonder?

Because for some reason, I am excited to see you again.

nameless feeling: Thank you XD but yeah, I thought 'what would make a good entrance for someone like Izaya?' and then boom! NAKED OF COURSE!
