It's been 15 years since that time…
"Hey, you what's wrong? Are you lost child?" The small brown-haired boy stared up at the tree branch from where the mysterious voice came from.
When Shizuo met a man…
"-Good evening." Izaya said as he hopped off the tree, skipping slightly towards the young boy, "A human child, huh. That's unusual."
"Who are you?" the child took a step back, hesitantly.
"Me? I'm just a person who lives in this forest," Izaya responded as his eyes twinkled.
As a child, Shizuo thought he was a very pretty person.
Izaya stared at the cuts adorning the small child's body, droplets of blood dripping through the breach in the skin.
"-Looks delicious."
"Eh?"
"Ah, no, nothing," Izaya shook the thought from his head, getting back on track to what's important right now, "Anyway, how did you get those injuries?"
"Eh? Ah…Those. I was running through the woods… I didn't notice," Shizuo looked down and around his body, finally noticing the streaks of red on his skin.
"Hmm… You must've gotten scratched by the grass and the tree branches. Give me your hand."
"Huh?" confusion dusted over Shizuo's small face as he looked skeptically as the hand in front of him.
"I'll heal you." Izaya smiled and bent down to be face to face with Shizuo.
"Ha?" Shizuo said still confused as ever at how that was even possible as Izaya ghosted his hands over Shizuo's arms and cheek where the cuts were.
Wherever he touched Shizuo suddenly became very warm. The injuries disappeared, almost as it they melted away.
"Ok, done," Izaya announced then leaned his face into his left hand's palm in contemplation at the next problem, "How troublesome- It's not my job to return lost children. But, it's been such a long time since I last met anyone."
Izaya bounced up suddenly, surprising Shizuo even more when he grabbed his hands and spun him around, "Let's go- I'll take you back to the nearest town come, come," Izaya smiled as he danced around happily.
"Eh… Really?"
Izaya nodded as he lead Shizuo through the forest, "On one condition. You must keep the fact that you met me a secret," Izaya turned his head around as he explained this, his smile sly.
And then, he took Shizuo back to the town.
At that time… Shizuo really thought he was a gentle and lovely person… But he's actually the exact opposite of what Shizuo remembers because all Shizuo could remember was that FUCKING FLEEEEEA!
The reality of the actual situation hit Shizuo hard in the head and he banged the table with a fist in Shinra and Celty's cabin house in the forest, the plates and cups on the wooden table clattered together as the images of Izaya's taunting words came into Shizuo's head. His head developed a migraine quickly just imagining the flea saying "Nya-Nya," or "You're such an idiot~" and "It'd be nice if you'd hurry up and die~"
Celty jumped out of her skin from the shock and noise.
"Shizuo, you're scaring Celty!"
Shizuo turned his head towards the sound of the voice, his temples pulsing in anger.
"Shinra…"
"I don't know what you're remembering, but try to calm down a little," Shinra smiled sympathetically as he sweatdropped, "I'm surprised that nothing has changed at all between you two though-"
Shinra was cut off my Shizuo, "-Leave me alone."
This is Kishitani Shinra. He's Shizuo's old acquaintance. He's also one of the few humans who knows Izaya.
He wore a long white coat that reached all the way to his feat with a white button up dress shirt underneath with dress pants and shoes, with a small white scarf wrapped around his neck. He also wore a pair of metal framed glasses.
Shinra smiled faintly as he continued from where he was cut off anyways, "Izaya's the kind of person who finds that sort of thing fun… Well, perhaps I shouldn't say person, as despite appearances, he's not actually human. At least, that's how I think of him…"
Shinra stopped for a second as he thought, "…Come to think of it, though, except for him, we haven't seen any other vampires. You only go chasing Izaya around. Besides him, there really aren't a lot of vampires and other supernatural creatures anymore. So I guess you're really an "Izaya-Hunter" huh… Although you're not very good at the hunting part…"
Shizuo drank his tea as it became excruciatingly hard to ignore Shinra when sudden anger and annoyance overwhelmed his body.
"Ack! I'm sorry!" Shinra apologized quickly once he noticed the tension as he took a seat on the opposite side of Shizuo at the table.
"Shut up. He's always scampering about and jumping around so I haven't caught him yet. Doesn't help that he wears black and is so agile," Shizuo retorted, taking a sip of his tea from the porcelain cup, still slightly irritated.
"He's like a cockroach- Ahahaha," Shinra laughed and giggled at his comparison.
But when Shinra said that the most disturbing mental image popped out of nowhere and into Shizuo's head as a miniscule shiver went up his spine, "…"
"Aah, but," Shinra took his steaming cup of warm tea with both hands, taking a sip of the sweet liquid, "it certainly seems like you're Izaya's favorite."
"Ah?" Shizuo asked confused.
Celty took a seat next to Shinra as her shadows flowed and dispersed in the air.
Shinra turned to Celty then back to Shizuo as he explained, "It's been several years now, hasn't it? Surely as long as you've been chasing him, I think it's all because he's been hoping to catch sight of you."
"Is…that right?"
"Celty thinks so too. He used to make appearances in public just for fun, but he hasn't done that recently. Of course, it's to his own disadvantage," Shinra intertwined his fingers together and rested his chin on it, "I'm the only other person to settle out here in the woods, So that I could be with Celty, of course."
Celty's shadow moved erratically around in a flustered motion as her shoulders stiffened.
"Why are you making that face, Celty~ Ah ha ha ha," Shinra laughed playfully as he folded his hands in front of him now, "It makes me sad that you don't realize that I'm perfectly happy here with you, Celty~"
"She doesn't really have a face…" Shizuo said mostly to himself.
….His favorite, huh… Vampires live forever. That's a long time to live all by yourself…all alone…
"…... Hey, is that guy the only vampire left?" Shizuo asked solemnly as he rested his cheek on his left hand that was perched up on the table.
"I wonder, I've never seen another one…" Shinra rubbed his chin at the question, mulling it over, "But the world's a big place, so I'm sure there's another vampire out there somewhere. There's also a citadel around here, so I wonder if he's the only one nearby. I also haven't seen any of Celty's kind around here either, but I'm sure it's the same for them," Shinra said trying to reassure Shizuo, "Celty's talked to him about it before. Apparently it's been half a century since he's met another supernatural creature like himself… That alone makes me think there aren't that many of them. But it's possible though that they all prefer seclusion."
Celty wrote on a blank page in her booklet, 'Apparently once he left and went searching for others, but he never found anyone. He has probably never met another one of his own kind his whole life.'
"….."
His whole life… all alone,
The words rung in Shizuo's head over and over the more he thought about it.
"…..Um, hey…"
"What is it?"
"…That… Do you think that's why…" Shizuo trailed off as he look down.
"Why?" Shinra waited patiently for Shizuo to finish his question.
"Like you said before…"
Realization hit Celty as her shadows flowed out more from her neck more quickly.
Shinra looked over at her and suddenly he understood too.
"…Aah… Yes, I do. I really do believe that," Shinra said comfortingly.
In case its not clear at the end, they're talking about Izaya seeking out Shizuo and Shizuo being Izaya's favorite :3 DO YOU FEEL THEE VIBES!? THE SHIZAYA VIBES!? lol XD
