Walking in the streets of Ikeburkuo it's hard to not notice the huge area surrounded by yellow cones connected with red tape that were filled with the big professional looking cameras and chairs with mirrors and desks full of make up for the actors or the trailers with the name plates that were lined up on one said. Nor was it easy to ignore the crowd of screaming fan girls surrounding Yuhei Hanejima's trailer, waiting for Shizuo's little brother to exit so they can go absolutely bazerk.
Since it was so hard to ignore all of this and have a peaceful walk around the block, Izaya didn't bother trying, and he minded at all.
The reasons for Izaya's continuous visits to Ikeburkuro is to be able to observe humans. Sometimes it's to gather information, it is his job to do so, and sometimes it's for his own twisted entertainment, and other times, like today, Izaya is here for Shizuo Heiwjama: The monster is what Izaya likes to call him.
Knowing that Shizuo hates his very existence never did anything to raffle the Information broker, rather it made the idea of angering Shizuo more exiting.
Izaya doesn't have to go looking for Shizuo for very long. He spots the messy haired blonde taking a walk in the park, smoking his cigarette, shoulders relaxed and his hands in his pockets. Seeing Shizuo's clam expression Izaya gets a smirk on his face. Rarely does Izaya get to see Shizuo's clam face so up close- unless he's observing the bodyguard from afar.
Izaya goes makes a bee line for the park and steps right into Shizuo's line of vision. Instantly Izaya sees Shizuo's clam expression turn into a sneer.
"Hello Shizu-chan~" Izaya greets him, Shizuo's glare going on blind eyes as Izaya continues. "I thought I saw a wild stray dog walking on his own and came." He leans forward slightly, his smirk as smug as ever. "But then I saw it was just Shizu-chan. Oh well," Izaya shrugs "pretty much the same thing."
Shizuo throw his cigarette on the floor, smother it with his shoe. Izaya gets ready to dodge a flying trashcan that was next to him or a pole or whatever else Shizuo is planning on throwing at him.
But instead Shizuo curses and turns around, walking the other way. Izaya can hear him muttering the word 'kill' multiple times under his breath.
Izaya is left there feeling sincerely shocked and staring dumbfounded at Shizuo's retreating back. This is the first time ever that Shizuo actually had the self control to not try and kill him and walk away.
Very rarely does anything catch the information broker off guard but Shizuo? He does it daily. But walking off from a fight with Izaya? That's more like an impossible feat. Not only did that leave Izaya blinking in confusion, but all the bystanders that were just getting ready to run away to avoid getting caught in the cross fire of a Shizuo and Izaya fight also stood confused and shocked by what just happened.
Izaya straightens up his back and tsks his tounge at Shizuo's constant unpredictability. Izaya sends a quick sweeping glare at the bystander and they look away and go on walking their dogs or talking on the phone.
Izaya spins on his heels, no skipping nor humming this time, and walks back to his office. He had enough of unpredictably and he felt like he was given a strong blow to the chest for some reason.
Passing the trailers again and he doesn't notice Kasuka walking out of his, being too in-though to really care eather.
Kasuka sees Izaya walking past his trailer at a fast pace with an unreadable face and slightly mumbling. All Kasuka could catch was a faint "-izuo ignoring m-" before Izaya was too far for him to hear. Kasuka smiles ever so slightly.
'So Shizuo is keeping his promise...'
