Thanks for the reviews ^^.
The silence between the two men was horrible. Neither one of them had said anything in a long time.
Shizuo sighed and finally moved, trying to stand up but couldn't. He quickly got dizzy and sat down on the bed again. What was he gonna do now? Live on the streets? He couldn't get another job. He would get fired just like in the past, and being bodyguard for Tom was a job all day long every day. Unless he wasn't in town.
Izaya slowly placed a hand on the bodyguards bare shoulder and to his surprise, the blonde didn't move away. The informant couldn't help but smile slightly. But that smile quickly disappeared, when he remembered why Shizuo was down in the first place. He sighed and sat down next to the blonde, and shortly after he came up with an idea.
"You can always move in with me?" Izaya smiled lightly and looked at him.
And after that an awkward silence came up between the two men.
After several moments of silence, Shizuo slowly looked at the other man. "Why the hell would I move in with you?" he said, but didn't move away from him, even though they were quite close.
"Well, Shizu-chan, you need a place to stay now, and you have already been here for more than a day," Izaya answered back and smiled, slowly moving closer to the former bartender, "so all you need is to get your stuff and what-not here. Shinra and I could go get it. I mean, you can't stand up, and I know Shinra gladly would help – or I'll force him to it."
Shizuo stayed silent for a few moments, looking at Izaya and didn't stop him from moving closer, like it didn't even bother him. "But I won't stay near the same room as you, flea," he finally said and shortly after he realized how close they were. Izaya's face was only a few centimeters away from Shizuo's. But Shizuo didn't move away. Maybe because he still was quite dizzy from trying to stand up. Normally he would get over his sickness after a day or a few hours, but this time it took longer. How long, no one knew. Not even Shinra.
"I know. You can stay on my couch until you find something else," Izaya said, slowly moving closer and closer to the bodyguard. "Unless you want to stay – forever." He smirked lightly and looked at the now very close Shizuo, feeling his own heart racing faster and faster as he got closer to the other man.
"I don't wanna stay forever. Only 'till I can stand and 'till I've found another place.. or a bench on the streets," Shizuo said back and looked down, not realizing that Izaya was getting closer and closer for every second. He sighed silently and closed his eyes slowly, now not that dizzy anymore.
Izaya was now very close and leaned forward and whispered softly in the other man's ear; "I'll change your mind, Shizu-chan."
Shizuo quickly opened his eyes as he heard Izaya's whispering very close to him, and didn't even realize that he was lightly blushing. He looked at Izaya and pulled a bit away, but not too far away. "You can't, flea. I won't stay here more than necessary," he said.
"Fine. You'll just move in with me temporary." It was now or never. Izaya knew that. This was maybe his only chance to do it. Just once would be enough for him – maybe. He giggled silently when he saw the lightly blush on the other man's face, and slowly moved closer.
".. Why are you so close, flea?" Shizuo finally asked, looking at the informant and still with a light blush on his face. He felt his own heart going faster than it should, just by being this close to Izaya. What the hell was going on?
Izaya smiled slightly and finally leaned closer to the other man. But stopped right before their lips met, and pulled away slowly. He laughed awkwardly and stood up, turning around and slowly walked out off the room, blushing and with his heart racing like hell. "N-No reason at all, Shizu-chan!" he said laughing awkwardly as he stepped out off the room.
Why can't I do it? Izaya thought to himself as he sighed and leaned up against the wall, that now separated the two men from each other. Maybe tomorrow. Keep your hopes up high, Orihara Izaya..
