Note from author: Half year ago I planned to write this on my own of many, many chapters... But thanks to my wonderful girlfriend, with who I met thanks to Shizaya and started to roleplay with, our own canon story was made! For the past 10 months we roleplayed so much, yet the story is still going on and on, having even side stories. So here the story starts! Hope you enjoy!
Summary: Hating your enemy for so long makes you start developing some feelings towards each other, but is it even mutual? And who knows what more weird things can happen if you spill out a secret or two.
Volume 1
Chapter 2: It's not love, it's caring
Hearing a doorbell ringing, the brunette got off the couch, pausing the romantic comedy he was watching with his beloved headless rider, and walked to the door, "Hai haaai~ Coming! Who is it at such hou-" not finishing his words after opening the door and seeing the tall bleached blond with a person on his shoulder. And just not any person, the informant Orihara Izaya.
Yep. World end is near.
"Shizuo-kun! Wh-What happened?!" the old friend asked as he stepped to the side to let the ex bartender walk in, taking off his shoes and going further inside the apartment. "We had the usual fight. But I finally landed a punch to the flea and then he just fell asleep." he explained calmly, nodding to Celty as the smoke from her neck few a bit faster, surprised at seeing the two. Placing a bit too roughly the raven on the couch, the blonde crossed his arms with a scowl, "Who knew the louse couldn't take even one punch, tch…"
Examining the informant, Shinra let out 'hmm's as he looked lifted up the shirt to examine the body and to find a big bruise on the upper part of the stomach. "Ah, nothing too serious. Will be a bruise probably…" pulling on one rubber glove, the brunette poked the dark purple bruise with a bit red tint, earning a winch and a light groan from the unconscious raven. "Ah, he's alive! Hopefully no important organs were hurt, but he will be fine."
Nodding to his words the blonde continued to stand as the underground doctor left to another room to grab his medical bag and started to treat the injured informant. Meanwhile Celty got up and typed on her PDA, [Am surprised you brought him over! Did something happen?] Earning a shake of the head, she tilted her neck in curiosity, listening to the tall male.
"I didn't expect him to just shut off. Hell, I made worse punches than this! I could have just dropped him there in the alley but… I… arrrgh…!" scratching the back of his head in frustration as anger started to built slowly, he grabbed a cigarette pack from his pocket, sticking one cancer stick between his lips, "I don't even fucking know why I helped!"
"..." standing quiet, the headless woman typed something before erasing quickly and typing again, turning the device for the blond to read, [You care?]
Staring at the text for a moment, blinking in confusion as he tried to understand what the hell she means before it hits him, for some reason blushing with an angry scowl, "M-ME?! Care for that pest who keeps ruining my life?! LIKE HELL I EVER WILL! I WISH HE JUST DIES ALREADY!"
"Ah, so mean of you, Shizu-chan…"
All three turned their heads, well except for Celty, to the awoken informant who laid half way on the couch with slight scowl, probably from his wound that is getting treated.
"...alive… Tch, should have known. Flea's die hard." the blonde growled, lightening his cigarette, only to hear Shinra shout, "PUT THAT OFF! No smoking in the house!" Shrugging at the words, the blond just went on the balcony to smoke, slamming the glass doors and making them shake from such harsh treatment.
"No need to be so noisy, hn…" chuckling lightly though wincing at the movement, the informant sat up a bit more comfortable, checking his body over and clicking his tongue at the sight. A bit torn shirt, dirt covered pants, few bruises and a huge headache, 'Shizu-chan should be more gentle next time.. Damn, head still hurts..!'
"Are you an idiot?" blinking at the question, Izaya looked down at his old school friend.
"Huh? Was that just an insult, Shinra? Ah, am hurt- OW! WHAT THE HELL?!" he yelped as the brunette pressed not-too-gently on his wound on the stomach, making him shudder from pain and squeeze one eye shut.
"Oh you're not hurt now, but soon you will be. Hurt in your own grave. What on earth are you thinking, letting him hit you like that?" rubbing pure alcohol on the cuts he continues to lecture the other with narrowed eyebrows, "Next time he won't miss your internal organs and you will be dead. D. E. A. D. Dead, got it? He can't control his strength and could have-"
"I KNOW!" Glancing up, the brunette blinked at the sudden shout, "I know…" saying more lower now, almost in a whisper, the raven looked away with a look that had guilt and hurt in his ruby eyes. "Though I don't mind to die if it's him…"
Sighing at the reply, Shinra made him turn around and take off his shirt so he can treat the wound on the back, consisting of scratches,bleeding deep cuts and small bruises, along with a blood trail going from the informants head. Checking his head he find a small open wound and immediately treats it first, "Izaya, stop acting like a child. I told you long time ago to have a talk with him."
"Easy for you to say. I don't even have time to open my mouth when he starts chasing me and try to kill me with the street objects…" sighing heavily, Izaya looked down onto his hands as he sat a bit bend over, narrowing his eyes, "I'd rather continue these chases than have a talk…"
Standing quiet the whole time, Celty shook her neck. Feelings and emotions were always confusing to her, expressing her own was difficult towards Shinra, now she wondered how difficult it was for the informant. He always couldn't keep his mouth shut about others emotions, playing with their feelings and lives, but he never talked about his own. Glancing at the balcony, seeing the blond still standing and smoking, she walked out and closed the door behind after a loud yell of pain was heard through whole house and making the blond glance in the apartment.
"...is he alright?" he asked quietly, as if hoping no one would hear him but Celty heard everything, typing quickly, [Yeah. Has some really bad wounds but he will live.]
"Mm…" was only his answer, as he looked back down at the busy city, loud car beeping and bright night lights from shops and the buildings. Even at night the city never sleeps, as mocha eyes followed the swirls of smoke he sighed, "Celty, can I ask a question?"
[Sure.] she replied, nodding her neck.
Staying quiet for a moment, as if hesitating with the question, he asked with unemotional face, "How did you fall in love with Shinra?" blowing out another cloud of smoke, he looked at her, "Or rather how you understood your feelings were love, not something else."
Standing quiet for a moment, she turned to the railing and leaned hands against it, as he slowly typed, pausing to think a bit more, [Back then when I got to know he was the one that had my head and hide it, I was pissed off to the point I wanted to slice him with my scythe.] The blond chuckled at that part, [But when he told me he did it to have me by his side and to protect me, I was confused by his words but I somehow accepted it all. He is weird, it's true. But I just wanted to be beside him, I felt happy and safe when he held me close when I was scared or confused. Eventually I understood it's not love. It's more like caring for someone to the point you want to be their everything and the other way around. As long as I know he's there I feel safe and protected. I guess love is when nothing is important than that one person beside you always.]
Reading the long text, the blond's eyes went wide a bit. He never knew 'love' can be described like that, "I… see..." were his only words before he turned head to look in the apartment and see the raven hitting the underground doctor with a pillow as the other tried to hide from the raging raven, hearing muffled 'that hurt' and 'I'm sorry' from inside. Chuckling lowly he glanced back at his almost done cigarette, he threw it down the balcony and looked how it fell.
"So it's not love… It's caring."
After getting his wounds treated, the informant pulled on his shirt with light hisses and grunts from pain, earning a smirk from the blond and just showing middle finger towards him. Having almost another fight, what Shinra and Celty broke apart quickly, the two were literally shoved out of the apartment, the underground doctor wanting to finish watching the movie with his loved one. Door getting slammed right in front of their face, the two enemies stood staring at the door, glancing at each other, and with having a scowl on both of their faces, they turned to opposite sides to leave, Izaya taking the elevator and Shizuo going by the stairs. Surprisingly the two came out of the building at the same time, glaring at each other for a long moment.
"Flea."
"Protozoan."
"Annoying louse."
"Stupid brute."
"Go die."
"Only after you drop dead."
"Ladies first."
"Says the lady."
"..."
"..."
Having no more insults to shoot the blond was the first one to leave with a sigh, not saying a word anymore, just hoping the informant will get the hint and just leave him alone. Izaya stood in silence, the cars rushing by on the road and dropping small light on his face, but probably no one would notice his sad look he currently had.
"Goodnight, Shizuo."
If there would be someone else beside him right now, anyone would think they said the words, not the informant who claimed to hate the said blond who owned the name. Turning around he started to walk slowly towards Shinjuku, though that night the talk he had with Shinra didn't leave his mind.
"If you love him then just tell him. Stop running away. Or you want someone else to appear in his life, who will make him forget about you at all?"
"Like hell am going to let that happen."
Oki here's the 2nd chapter c: I'll try to write at least 2 chapters each day to reach all the plot that I have saved so far with Seth xAx"
But man we sure type a lot...
Anyway, review if you wish~ Am not making 'cause I write this for my own enjoyment c:
Oh- Just a warning here but will write for later on... THERE WILL BE OWN MADE OC'S (ORIGINAL CHARACTERS) WHEN M-PREG STARTS.
So those who don't like OC's or mpreg I would give an advice for you to read the first volume- as you notice- because I divided the plot into volumes and the volumes into chapters.
Probably 2nd volume won't have any mpreg hints.. but 3rd one for sure...
But for others hope you enjoy ;;v;;
