I STILL DO NOT OWN DURARARA
A/N: Sorry for the long wait but anyway here's chapter 3
The blonde had to admit when his friend had handed him a set of crutches he was embarrassed but he didn't dare voice it since he knew Shinra is just trying to help. And by any means it beats wobbling he thought to himself nearly everyone in Ikebukuro had misconceptions about the blonde. Most thought he was just a brute who likes to use his strength and likes to hurt others not knowing that the truth is far from it. But many don't know this very real truth earth brown eyes stared downward the blonde was embarrassed with a smile akin to a kid caught with his hand in a cookie jar. Shinra couldn't help but smile at his friend's behavior not knowing what could cause him to be embarrassed still this was normal when the blonde is just around his friends. 'The real Shizuo' as Celty has dubbed him, still Shinra worried about how his blonde friend had gotten himself so beat up it was unusual not to mention more than a little upsetting. Shinra was now deciphering the results of their ex bartender's x rays and cat scan determining damage as well as injuries those results he didn't like.
As his doctor was in the next room Shizuo gingerly and with Celty's help managed to prop himself up into a sitting position. "Thank you Celty" she only typed in a series of symbols making a smiley than typed "you're welcome" he smiled friendly and genuinely "so how are you and Shinra I haven't seen you both for a while." After pausing for a moment Celty began to type again and showed the screen to her friend 'were good, just well were worried about you' with that he looked apologetic "sorry I didn't mean to worry you both." 'No no its ok' the dulahan typed in quickly seeing Celty flustered was rare "calm down Celty I wanted to apologize because I know I must have been a lot of trouble for you two." 'You weren't any trouble it just scared us, but were glad you're awake now that's really all that matters right now.' Around them Shizuo always speaks in gentle tones, he smiles genuinely and laugh genuinely he lets his guard down and trusts them completely. Earth brown eyes looked towards the door showing through strands of blonde hair when he heard Shinra walk back into the room "so how bad is it" Shizuo asks not sure if he really wants to hear the answer. He sighed "well you have muscle damage and a broken knee, the cuts can easily be stitched up but what worries me is the slight concussion you seem to have according to the cat scan."
"I see but I've had worse so I'll be ok don't worry Shinra" he smiled meekly which the doctor recognized his gesture, "I know Shizuo you'll need to take it easy though there's no need to risk you getting hurt more." The blonde nodded although they knew he didn't like abandoning his boss unless the situation absolutely called for it. This though would be one of those times and Shinra is willing to go to extremes to enforce this so he wont see his friend hurt any worse than he already is. Than there's still the matter of how it happened but he decided he wouldn't press the issue until Shizuo is ready to talk about it. "But anyway I'm sure you must be hungry I'll order out any requests" he asked it took a moment but the blonde just shrugged and left it to them to decide. So Shinra decided on Chinese getting a large amount of food for the three of them Shizuo slowly made his way with the help of his crutches to the quaint kitchen table having refused to make them eat bedside. Setting the crutches to the side he hopped on one foot and sat down being as graceful as he could with all things considered.
Crimson eyes stared out of the window in his office. After a day spent tracking down idiotic humans and having a phone constantly up to his ear but he endured it because all of this is to help find the bastards who attacked Shizu-chan. Still it had been tedious and he found his patience wearing thin having sent his secretary home for the night. He sighed propping black boots up on his desk and relaxing somewhat. Still no progress other than something happened but he doesn't know what or who did it or even why. He is in the dark on this something he despises thoroughly not fully understanding his own reasons for helping find who dared to hurt his blonde rival. The more he thought of that scene before him the more it enraged the information broker.
