Shizuo's POV

Painful memories started to flood my mind as I sit down in the familiar classroom. This was the same classroom that I spent hours beyond hours sitting and waiting for detention to finally come to an end.

I wear my emotions on my sleeve. That's part of my problem. I just have a hard time controlling them and no amount of time in therapy or anger management could ever control that. Hell that made me more fucking pissed off.

I lean back in the chair that I am sitting on and look out the window.

I wonder what it would feel like to be able to be like a butterfly; to have a peaceful life, with such graceful movement and able to move about freely without being constrained, to be thought of always bring happiness instead of pain.

Peace.

It's what I wanted more then anything, but somehow that was something that I could never obtain. It seemed like I was the definition of chaos, seeing as somehow it always manages to follow me where ever I went.

Pulling myself away from such depressive thoughts, I look back at my talkative friend. He was talking away with our other friend, Kadota, who neither of us got to see much of after school ended. They were talking about what they had been doing the past 3 months and that's when I noticed him.

It was the guy in the red in black from earlier. He was just standing there lurking. Whoa okay, this guy had to be some sort of drug dealer or something. He looked like the type that would fuck you over. Literally and figmentively. I let my eyes look him over a little bit. He was scrawny too. He also had somewhat delicate features; nothing too ambiguous but he could totally pull off a girl if he ever had to.

His eyes caught mine. We stare at each other shortly before I see him smirk at me.

Okay, now that cocky ass smirk on his face and him are really starting to piss me off and I don't even know the guy!

Tch. I was really irritable this morning. I tried my best to try and ignore the guy and act like I didn't care or notice he was staring. Right. At. Me.

"Hello there Shinra~" I heard the guy say. Damn, his voice fit him. It wasn't a bad voice but it was the kind of voice that if you were to hear it in the dark you would be slightly afraid for your safety.

"Ah Izaya!" I saw my wanna-be-doctor friend run over to said guy. I was kind of curious how the two knew each other. I have never seen him at this school before, but that isn't saying much seeing that I couldn't give you names of half the kids in my class. Still, I think I would remember someone that creepy if I were to see them. "Are you excited to start school?"

"Yeah." I hear the guy called Izaya say. I could also hear the smirk in his voice. I close my eyes shut trying to ignore everything that was going on around me and just calm down. I wanted to prove to everyone this year that Heiwajima Shizuo could be a calm, caring, pacifist. I wanted to show them that I wasn't only destruction but I could also be used for construction. It wasn't going as I planned so far. "You have a lot of….interesting people here. I can't wait to meet them." I can't take it anymore; I get out of my seat and start walking towards the door where the two are talking.

"Oh yeah-ah! Izaya this is Shi-"I push past both of them and start walking towards the nurse's office, I really needed pain killer already for the headache coming on and I didn't want to be there anymore. I refuse to look back at them because I know that both of them are staring holes into my back. Like hell I wanted to be introduced to a guy like that! I keep walking until I get to the nurses office. We exchange looks for a brief moment of silence, knowing that this is already the beginning of what would be my constant visits to her.

She lets out a long sigh.

Izaya's POV

I stare at the back of the guy who literally just shoved me out of the way to get through the door. It is polite to ask, he didn't have to shove…but somehow I am happy he did because it was definitely not something I would have saw coming.

"Interesting~" I cued as Shizuo left. Shinra looked back at me with an apologetic look.

"Erm sorry about him Izaya! Shizuo is just kind of socially awkward, but he really is a cool guy! I think the two of you will be good friends." Shinra smiled at me and I smirked at that statement. Me? Friends with a monster? Now that was something to dwell on.

"Really? I hear he has something of a temper." Shinra looks a little worried for a moment then just brushes it off.

"Well…he is really strong and he can get irritated easy…erm…really easy but he really does have a good heart." I am guessing him and Shizuo were somewhat close since he is really trying to push him off on me as someone that is a good guy. Really Shinra? I am Orihara Izaya; you don't think I already know about him.

"Well then…" I smirk. "I can't wait to meet Shizu-chan~" Shinra looks panicked for a minute, most likely because of the nickname I just gave his friend. "Well, I should go now. Don't want to be late on my first day~" I say while walking off towards homeroom. Shinra stood there looking at me leave for a second then went back to his class. I walk through the halls, observing everyone as I go by. I walk into the class room that I am assigned to and take a seat. There is a man sitting in front of me with a group of men all sitting around him. They look like total thugs, probably the type that would start a fight if they were so much as looked at. They were probably feared within the school too. I wonder if Shizu-chan was—

I lean forward, tapping the guy in front of me.

"Hey~" The guy turns around and looks at me with a death glare. Oh shit, I am SOOO scared. "You know Heiwajima Shizuo?" The guy tightens his eyebrows and growls at me. Oh, I bet he does~ "Well…I heard him saying earlier how he thought that your girl friend was really hot and how he was going to try and ask her out." A complete lie. I didn't even know if this guy had a girl friend, but my assumptions are almost always on point. And it seems that I was right because the guy looked extremely offended and at a loss of words. I place my hand on his shoulder and pat him in a comforting manor. "Just so you know." With that said, I lean back in my and smirk after seeing the guy talk angrily amongst his other thug friends. I really love how things just go according to plan~

"Lets see how strong you are Shizu-chan~"

I hope that I am still able to keep this interesting for you all ^^ I am trying to keep everyone in character for the time being. As of right now, and the next few chapters as well, I am going to try to follow the original story line of the show. Like what they showed and just fill in some blanks along the way...but don't worry! It will start taking a turn soon enough and you will get your Shizaya fix before you know it ;D

I am going to start to read the light novel tonight. I have only seen the anime and own manga volume 1 and 2, but I really want to incorporate Shiki. ^^; I have read enough fan fiction where I think I can do that without really needing to read the novel but I feel...weird doing that. I also do really want to read the light novel.

If you guys have any ideas, comments, tips ect for me please let me know! This is my first Durarara! Fan fiction and really want it to come out as well as the others I read :)
