Durarara! THE SLEEPING BEAUTY OF IKEBUKORO_Part 3/ Epilogue
'I can't believe Izaya actually woke up.'
'You think that means that Shizuo truly loves him?' Celty asked later that night.
"Well, how does one decide what 'true love' really is, anyway? For all we know, as it is possible that I made the potion so that a sufficient kiss would have sufficed" Shinra asked from where he was sitting on the coach, calculating what the repair costs would be for his apartment.
'That's true…' A moment of silence followed before Shinra spoke up again.
"Ne, Celty?" he began. "If Izaya didn't wake up, and I had been been out the window, do you think I would've died?"
'Well considering that we're on the seventeenth floor of this apartment building…
and if you hit the pavement at the speed which Shizuo would have thrown you at,
then I most certainly doubt that you would have survived'
"Wha…are you serious? Would you have been okay with that?" Shinra asked, distressed.
Celty took a moment to contemplate it.
'She actually needs to think about it?' Shinra thought, getting more and more depressed by the minute. He then felt two arms circling him from behind.
'No, of course not' Celty answered.
'I would have created a shadow net to catch and save you.'
"Really?" Shinra asked as he shot up from the coach, wanting to return Celty's embrace, but she was already walking away.
'Besides, I think your death should be much more interesting than that' Celty delivered the finishing blow, and Shinra fell back down on the coach, having been stabbed by a metaphorical knife through his heart.
Atop the roof of one of the skyscrapers in downtown Ikebukuro, Shizuo and Izaya's game of cat and mouse had finally came to a stalemate.
"Where are you going to go now, flea? Looks like you backed yourself into a corner" Shizuo said, panting heavily. He threateningly walked up to Izaya, forcing the infamous informant to back up as well.
Izaya stepped backwards until he reached the railing at the edge of the roof. Izaya looked down, and saw the many lights of the cars and street lamps spread out below him. Izaya then looked back at Shizuo, and smirked.
"You must like this, né Shizu~chan? Having me backed into a corner like this. You could do almost anything to me now" Izaya said, shrugging and giving Shizuo a sideways glance.
"You have it wrong, flea. The only thing I want to do now is kill you." Shizuo said angrily, stopping right in front of Izaya. "And I'm going to do it RIGHT NOW by throwing you over that rail!"
Shizuo reached out to grab Izaya, but the smaller one was faster and more nimble. He grabbed the rail and hoisted himself up into a backwards handstand, almost kicking Shizuo in the face in the process, but the latter dodged it just in time.
Izaya changed the position of his hands and turned to a forward handstand. Shizuo launched for Izaya again, but he pushed himself off the railing up and over Shizuo, landing behind him.
Shizuo angrily turned towards Izaya, ready to shout at him. Izaya's face was much closer to Shizuo than he thought, and Izaya, choosing Shizuo's moment of surprise, pressed his lips against Shizuo's in a bittersweet kiss under the moonless-night sky.
In between the city lights from below and the new moon from above, the two's act of guilty pleasure was shrouded in darkness.
Izaya played with a strand of Shizuo's hair, and caressed his face. Shizuo, feeling that it was unfair, tried to weave his own hand into Izaya's hair. Before that could happen, though, Izaya broke of the kiss and stepped away from Shizuo.
"Alright, that's enough for now. Now we're even for what happened earlier" Izaya smirked.
"What?" Shizuo asked, temporarily dazed. He then looked to where Izaya was already further away from him than before. "Oi, you can't just leave after that!" Shizuo said angrily.
"If you want more, you'll have to catch me first!" Izaya laughed and waved at Shizuo as he was running away.
"You damn flea, treating me like a child!" Shizuo shouted, following after the informant. "Get back here, IZAYA!"
And so, Ikebukuro's strongest man, feeling most unsatisfied with just a little peck, obtained a whole new set of reasons for chasing down the infamous informant. Where will this game of cat and mouse lead to next?
