Summary: A version of The Hangover featuring characters from Durarara! Shizuo getting married, and for his bachelor party, he decides to take his two best friends and his brother in law to Vegas for a great night out. In the end, Shizuo ends up missing, while Shinra, Izaya and Kida can't remember a single thing they did the night before, and don't have a clue where to start to look for their missing groom.
The wind was whipping through everyone's hair, the top to the convertable pulled down to make the ride more enjoyable. Cars blared past at alarming speeds, while the mercedes on the highway sped casually along the path. They were on their way to Vegas, and only a few hours or so away. The excitement was bubbling up in the four of them as they smiled and watched the changing of the sceneary.
Kida promptly stood up in the passengers seat, his hands gripping the windsheild as he smiled and screamed. "Whooo! ROOOOAAD TRRIIIP!" Shinra and Izaya exchanged glances in the back seat, laughing as they shook their heads at his behavior.
Kida clapped his hand on the side of the car, turning sideways and yelling towards the car driving next to them. "HEEYY! VEGAAAS! VEGAS, BABY!"
After receiving the middle finger from a passing car, Kida sat down in his seat, an offended look on his face, joining in on the conversation that consisted of Izaya arguing with Shizuo over letting him drive. "Come one! Just till Barstow. Everybody's passing us!" Shinra took a swig on a bottle of beer he had pulled out, looking between the two as they bickered.
"Absolutely not. I promised Dracon." Shizuo glanced back to give him a look, and then focused forward on the road. "I will be the only one driving this car." Izaya rolled his eyes taking a sip out of his own beer bottle. "Besides, you're drinking."
"Oh, What are you, a cop know?" Izaya threw back at him. He took another swig of his beer and shrugged his shoulders. "You know I drive great when I'm drunk."
Shinra nodded his head in agreement. "That's true, don't forget, Izaya was always our designated drunk driver."
"Yeah," Shizuo laughed, turning his head to glance at Kida, before focusing back on the road. "You wanna explain it to them, Kida?"
Kida's face dropped slightly as he craned his head backwards to focus on the two in the back seat. "Guys, my dad loves this car more than he loves so, yeah.."
"Aw, Whatever. I left my wife and kid at home so I could go with you guys." Izaya leaned closer, locking eyes with Kida. "You know how difficult that was?"
Kida's eyes swelled up with compassion for the older man. "That's really sweet, Izaya.."
"Yeah," Shizuo said with a mock tone.
"Dude, I was being sarcastic, I fucking hate my life." He twisted his head towards Shinra, who merely raised his eyesbrows in response. "I may never go back. I might stay in Vegas."
"Here we go..." Shizuo mumbled, shaking his head as he prepared for Izaya's rant.
"You know what, Shizuo? You should enjoy yourself, because come Sunday.." Izaya waved his fingers in the air to emphasize his point. "You're gonna start dying just a liiiiiittle bit every day."
Kida laughed, agreeing with him, while Shizuo rolled his eyes for the up-teenth time that day. "Yeah, that's why I've managed to stay single this whole time, you know?" The odd one spoke.
Shinra's face was deadpanned as he looked at Kida. "Oh, really? That's why you're single?" He asked acting as if the man should have women crawling all over him, when it was obviously the other way around.
"Yeah." Kida nodded obliviously.
"Cool. Good to know." Shinra replied.
A short silence settled in amongst the men. Shizuo went back to focusing on his driving, while the others went back to watching the changing scenery. It wasn't until the blond realized he needed to get over did anyone speak again. Shizuo relied on Kida to notify him of any oncoming cars on his side. "Am I all right over there, Kida?"
Without looking, Kida nodded. "Yeah, you're good." And with the twist of the wheel, Shizuo began to steer the car into the oncoming lane. The blaring of a semi alerted the blond instantly as he brought the wheel back around, speeding out of the way to avoid killing the four of them. "AH JESUS CHRIST!" Shizuo screamed, while Izaya and Shinra clung to their seats. Izaya looked back at the car, eyes wide.
"Oh my god!" The raven haired man smirked.
Shinra looked as if he had a heart attack, his face slightly paler. Kida's lips were upturned, a large smile plastered on his face. "That was awesome!" he exclaimed.
"THAT WAS NOT AWESOME. What is WRONG with you?" Shizuo yelled, trying to get his heart pulse to settle down.
"That was INSANE. We almost just died!" Shinra flailed, throwing this arms up and looking at both Izaya's and Kida's laughing forms as if they were crazy.
"You should have seen your face!" Kida shouted in between breaths, looking at Shizuo. "Classic!"
"That's funny" Izaya added, laughing.
"It's not funny!" Shizuo responded, finally calmed down enough to get back to his driving, and successfully getting over into the lane he needed to. The rest of the car ride had gone incredibly better, finally getting off the express way and one step closer to their destination in Vegas.
They were surrounded by a desert area, nothing but sand stretching for miles. The boys decided to make a pit stop at a gas station that looked to be the only one in sight. Shizuo, Izaya, and Shinra all got out of the car, Shizuo turning to Kida and taking the keys with him. "You watch the car, alright?" Kida nodded, stepping out and eyeing everyone in the surrounding area suspiciously. An old man ended up walking past, whistling at the car, and drawing Kida's attention.
"Boy, you've got a sweet ride there-"
"-Don't touch it." Kida threatened. "Don't even look at it. Go on, get out." The older man shook his head and began to walk away. "You heard me. Don't look at me, either."
Izaya and Shizuo watched him from inside the gas station, Shizuo with a perplexed look on his face. "He's actually kind of funny." Izaya commented as they waited for the person in front of them to make their purchase.
"Yeaaah, he means well.."
"Is he all there? Like, Mentally?" Izaya asked, turning to Shizuo.
"I think so. He's just an odd guy. You know, he's kind of weird."
"I mean, should we be worried?"
Shizuo shook his head. "No." he replied, even though he himself wasn't satisfied with that answer. "Vorona did mention that we shouldn't let him gamble.." The man in front left, and the two stepped forward, placing their things on the counter. "Or drink too much.." Shizuo added.
Izaya chuckled. "Jesus, he's like a gremlin, comes with instructions and shit.."
Shinra came up from behind the two of them, placing a bottled water onto the counter as he wormed his way between them. "Annnd, one water!" He declared. Shizuo brushed it off, and turned to the brunette.
"All good with Namie?"
"Oh, yeah!" Shinra exclaimed. "Told her we're two hours outside of wine country and she bought it." Izaya's head dropped, before he turned slightly to face Shinra, nothing but the word 'pathetic' running through his head.
"Don't you think it's strange that you've been in a relationship for three years and you still have to lie about going to Vegas?"
Shinra shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah I do. But trust me it is not worth the fight."
Izaya turned to Shizuo. "Oh so, you can't go to Vegas, but..." He looked back to Shinra, locking eyes with him. "She can fuck a bellhop on a Carnival Cruise Line?"
Shizuo put his hand inbetween the two. "Hey," he started looking at Izaya about to tell him how he had crossed the line, but Shinra cut him off.
"Okay, first of all, he was a bartender." Shizuo waved his hand and nodded while Izaya watched the brunette. "And she was wasted. " Shinra adjusted his glasses as he saw that Izaya wasn't even phased. "And if you must know, he didn't even come inside her."
Izaya stared at him in disbelief. "And you believe that?" He stated before turning his attention towards the cash register.
Shinra's jaw dropped slightly, and Shizuo turned away, deciding to stay out of it. "Uh, yeah I do believe that, because she's grossed out by semen!"
Shizuo and Izaya exchanged looks with each other, but decided not to say anything else and just let the subject go.
Getting everything they needed and a full tank of gas, the four of them hoped back into the car and began driving yet again to their destination. It was quiet amongst them all, most likely because Kida has his face nose first into a book titled. 'The Rules to Playing Black Jack'. He tore his eyes off the page to share some information with the group. "It says here we should work in teams. Who wants to be my spotter?" No one responded to the question, Shizuo instead ignoring it and proposing his thoughts.
"I don't think you should be doing too much gambling tonight, Kida."
"Gambling? Who said anything about gambling?" He returned his attention to the book again. "It's not gambling when you know you're gonna win. Counting cards is a fool-proof system."
Shinra sighed. "It's also illegal.
"It's not illegal, it's frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane." Kida retorted. Shizuo let out a laugh to his response.
Izaya's eyebrows furrowed. "..I'm pretty sure that's illegal too..."
Kida looked up from his book. "Yeah, maybe after 9/11, where everybody got so sensitive!" Shinra and Shizuo both looked at Kida with faces the resemebled both worry and confusion, as if they couldn't tell if he was serious or not. Kida let out a sigh as he turned to look out the car. "Thanks a lot, Bin Laden."
Shizuo closed his eyes for a moment, dismissing what was said and going back to the original topic. "Either way, you gotta be super smart to count cards buddy, okay?"
"Oh really?" Kida challenged.
"It's not easy."
"Okay, well maybe we should tell that to Rain Man, because he practically bankrupted a casino, and he was a ruh-tard."
Shinra finally tuned into the conversation, not sure if he had caught that last line correctly. "What?" He asked, like he was speaking to an idiot.
"He was a ruh-tard." Kida repeated louder. Shinra stared at him for a long moment, in disbelief.
Shizuo looked back at Kida. "Retard." He corrected. Izaya just sat in the back smiling to himself as he listened to the conversation.
It wasn't long before the desert soon morphed into a full on city, and the sky switched from day to night. It felt like a full day spent on just driving, but after what seemed like so long, they had finally arrived at their hotel. The four piled out of their car, their mouths hanging open in amazment at how nice the city was, no matter what they looked at. Large red letters were glowing out in the night of a huge building reading "Ceasar's Palace" in greek font. A group of people walked past that caught Izaya's attention, making him do a full turn around as he smiled. "Heerree we go!" He smirked. They stepped up to the lobby desk, eyes wandering around the area. This night was going to be amazing.
A women with short brown hair smiled at the four, greeting them. "Welcome to Ceasars."
"Heell-lloo!" Shinra stated rather enthusiatsicly.
"Checking in?" She asked. Shinra nodded while Izaya leaned over the counter.
"Yeah, We have a reservation under 'Dr. Kishitani'."
The lady looked down on her computer. "Okay, let me look that up for you."
Izaya clapped his hands together and turned to Shinra. " 'Dr. Kishitani?" Shinra glanced over at him.
"Shinra, You're a dentist, okay? Don't try and get fancy.."
"It's not fancy if it's true." He responded, looking at the women.
Izaya followed his gaze and shook his head. "He's a dentist. Don't get too excited." He straightened his posture and added. "And if uh, someone has a heart attack, you should still call 911."
The lady laughed slightly, while Shinra felt his self esteem descrease a little. "We'll be sure to do that." She stated.
Kida took this moment to cut in, facing the lady, while holding out a small square black box looking electronic. "Can I ask you a question? Do you know if the hotel's pager-friendly?"
The lady's eyebrows scrunched up. "What do you mean?"
"I'm not getting a sig' on my beeper." He replied, indicating his pager. The lady shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm..not sure.."
"Is there a payphone bank?" Kida waved a hand in the air. "A bunch of payphones?" He ellaborated. "Business."
The lady looked at the group who were watching Kida with amusement, before answering. "Um...there's a phone in your room..?"
Kida nodded his head in satisfaction. "That'll work." She shook her head and turned back to Shinra. "So I have you in a two-bedroom suite on the 12th floor, is that okay?"
Shizuo nodded. "Sounds perfect."
"Actually," Izaya cut in. "I was wondering if you had any villas available?"
Shinra shook his head, confused. "We're not even gonna be in the room." He stated.
Shizuo agreed. "Yeah, it's unnecessary."
"It's no big deal, we can share beds. It's just one night..." Shinra shrugged.
Kida cut in. "If we're sharing beds, I'm bunking with Izaya." Izaya quickly snapped his attention to Kida, staring at him as if he had just talked in another language. Kida smiled. "You good with that?"
"No, I am not good with that." Izaya replied, pulling back from the counter and facing the two sane men. "Guys, we're not sharing beds, what are we, 12 year olds?" Without waiting for a response, Izaya turned to the women behind the counter. "I apologize, How much is the villa?"
She looked down at her screen. "Well," She started. "We have one villa available and it's 4,200$ for the night."
"Is it awesome?" Kida asked.
She nodded, adding a timid smile. "It's pretty awesome."
Izaya slapped a hand down on the counter. "We'll take it." He turned to Shinra, who still found it unnecessary. "Give her your credit card."
"I can't give her my credit card!" Shinra replied, looking at Izaya like he was a maniac.
Shizuo reached into his back pocket, ready to pitch in for the room. "We'll split it."
Izaya waved his hands and laughed. "Are you crazy? No. This is on us. " He stated, motioning towards him, Shinra, and Kida.
Shinra bit his lip as he faced Izaya. "You don't get it." He chewed his cheek. "Namie checks my statements."
The women took that moment to cut in. "Well, we just need a credit card on file." She looked amongst the men. "We won't charge you until check out, so you can figure it out then?"
Izaya threw his hands up, happily. "Perfect. Thank you!" He nodded at the women and looked at Shinra. "We'll deal with it tomorrow, come on."
Shinra reluctantly reached into his back pocket and withdrew his wallet, pulling out his credit card and handing it over to the women. "fine.." he breathed.
"Can I ask you another question?" Kida spoke, making eye contact with the women.
"Sure."
"You probably get this a lot...This isn't the real Caesas palace, is it?" He asked, motioning to the entire hotel. Her brown eyes locked onto Izaya's as if to ask if the man was serious.
"What do you mean?"
"Did um..." Kida glanced over at the group nervously, seeing that they were all watching him. "Did Caesar live here?"
"Um...No." She responded.
"I didn't think so..." He replied, examining the place further.
Shinra slid the card key into the appropriate slot, pulling it out and twisting the handle, and opening the door for everyone to see. Their mouths all dropped at the room and it's beauty. Walking in there was a nicely decorated tiled hallway, with flowers hanging on the walls on either side. Straight ahead was the living room area, with a large window frame that looked over the entire city. A red rug was placed on the floor with a white couch that curved around the two walls and had an arrangement of red pillows to match the rug. There was a black metal coffee table that glistened. Black, draw back curtains dangled on the sides of the large window, the view absolutely breathtaking. There was a grand piano that sat off to the side, across from the couch."Hooolly Shit!" Shinra exclaimed as they walked in further.
"Now this is Vegas!" Izaya exclaimed stretching his arms outward, indicating the entire room.
"Oh- My..." Shizuo breathed out. "This place is enourmous."
"Now we're talking." Izaya smirked. Shizuo looked around, still not believing the size of the place. The walls were painted a deep maroon, and four dours hugged the hallway, indicating four seperate rooms for the men to claim.
"This is all one suite?" The blond asked out loud. He moved away from the hallway, and went to get a better view of the place. Across from the living room area, there was a bar set up, with stools, drinks, and wine glasses that were decorated neatly around it. Behind the bar, a large flat screen was hung on the wall, for perfect viewing. To the left of the bar area was a walk-in tub, with steps that lead up to it and also had a flat screen perched up on the wall. Long mirrors filled the empty spaces on the walls, while Shizuo smiled. "Thank you guys..." He breathed, setting his bags down. "Or should I say, Thank you Shinra?" He rephrased.
Shinra pointed a finger at him. "You're welcome. It's only 'cause I love you buddy."
Izaya clapped his hands together, smiling micheviously as he stood in front of the large window, unable to take his eyes off the beautiful night lights of the city. "Okay ladies! Pick a room, get dressed. Let's be ready in thirty minutes!"
A/N: This is like..so easy but so hard to write.. I've been playing the movie and writing along to it, but it's hard to describe certain things, because they're all so natural and obviously, I am not good at writing that.
Anyway, I've got a lot written today. I've finished the latest chapter in Treatment , I'm just waiting for it to be beta'd, otherwise it would've been updated already. So in my spare time I wrote this. It's been a while since I started a story and had an update the next day. Hasn't happened since Empty With You 8I Oh well. Thanks for reading guys!
Please Review if you can? Those are always delightful.
