Thanks so much for the reviews! It makes me super happy and want to update more!
As much as shizuo wanted to throw the nearest desk at Izaya and knock that shit eating grin off his face he remembered those pretty lips gently parted as he was curled up next to him asleep the night before. Shizuo remembered how much smaller the other really was and how adorably he was with his head snuggled in the crook of his arm whispering his name almost too softly in his sleep... it was ridiculous how well they fit together.
This is why Shizuo did not throw the desk at Izaya when the younger teased him about not knowing the definition of "Lamprophony"... because who in the world beside Izaya actually knew what that meant?
When Izaya was flustered and blushing and so obviously unsure of himself and trying so hard not to show it when Shizuo had the upperhand... that's what he liked to see. Because he knew that it was only him- Heiwajima Shizuo- that could ever make Izaya like that.
Yes, so that was why instead of chucking random shit at the smaller man he just grinned.
That gave Izaya pause. He had really expected Shizuo to throw something at him. A pencil or something at least.
That only made Shizuo's grin widen. "Later" He mouthed and turned away but not before seeing Izaya's cheeks flush slightly.
Yessssss much better Shizuo thought as he walked out the door.
"Shinra-kunnnnnnnnn~~~" Izaya said bursting into Shinra's biology lab one day without knocking or paying any heed to the students that were currently studying something in the textbook quietly.
"Izaya-kun?" Shinra asked looking up from his desk where he appeared to also be studying something intently. One hand was resting on a book the other unconsciously was twirling what looked to be an incredibly sharp scalpel.
Izaya distractedly wondered if Shinra always did that... though he didn't really have a right to talk as he apparently was known for his ability to worry his students by twirling around pointy compasses.
"Shinra kun! Shizu chan is acting weird again." Shinra sighed although it was mostly with fondness. As annoying as Izaya was, Shinra really did care for his friend.
Izaya hopped up on top of Shinra's desk, the side of his shirt barely missing the sharp blade of the scalpel though neither of them really cared.
Having known Izaya for a rather long time Shinra knew that if he wasn't standing over something dead with blood covering his lab coat and glasses and ready to chase him away with a red stained scalpel or bone cutting saw or something, the younger man would most likely not go away.
"What happened this time?" Shinra asked marking his place in his book to look at his friend knowing that all of his students were doing the same but he also knew that there was no point in reprimanding them.
"I was insulting him and he didn't throw anything at me! Nothing!" Izaya complained as if it was obviously the most perplexing thing in the world.
Shinra shook his head but on the inside was secretly impressed. Shizuo must really like Izaya if he was controlling his anger like that... or he must have found a different way to get back at Izaya... he wasn't sure who he was more worried for if that was the case. Though their attraction had always been painfully obvious.
"Oi, Shinra do you think he's sick?"
Shinra just shook his head again. He knew that Izaya was crazily smart when it came to numbers and complex strategies but when it came to love... the younger man was completely inexperienced.
Maybe the strange combination between Shizuo, the man who could love so much but avoided it due to his fear of hurting the one he loved, and Izaya, the one he could never hurt but never had the opportunity to really love... would be a good thing... It was really weird to think about.
"No Izaya kun, I don't think he's sick. You should go talk to him after school." Shinra said rationally as if that was very helpful advice.
"Yeah, I think that's what he said too." Izaya said shaking his head, "Shizu chan's so weird." He hopped off the desk.
"Yah, Orihara-sensei, you should get Heiwajima-sensei ice cream!" One of the students from the back called out quite blatantly eavesdropping.
"Yeah! With whipped cream." One of the other's giggled out.
"Good idea! Wah Shinra kun! Minoru-kun and Kaoru-kun are so much more helpful than you!" Izaya sighed heading out to gather the sweet dessert. It made sense, Shizuo was obviously feeling weird or something, so ice cream made everything better!
