Shizuo sighed impatiently. He and Izaya were at the west wing rooftop, waiting on Kadota and Namie to arrive. Izaya hadn't said much of anything to him on the way there, just walking calmly next to Shizuo, hardly sparing the blonde a glace. It was so different from how Izaya usually was, all bubbly and chatty. To be honest, Shizuo kind of missed it. It would be grounding, at least, to see that familiar behavior instead of this constantly shifting attitude.
Shizuo looked now to Izaya, looked at his more traditional black uniform, bright red shirt underneath. At least that was the same. Kadota was wearing the black one too, though he kept his buttoned up. And Shizuo himself was in the same blue uniform as he had been in highschool, though somehow he couldn't remember any of the mornings events. All he remembered was falling asleep in his apartment then waking up and walking to school in another dimension. What a shitty surprise.
"Izaya!" Came a female voice, catching both Shizuo and Izaya's attention. A young lady with long black hair stomped up to Izaya, raising a hand a flick the boy in the head.
"Oowww~! Namie that hurt!" Izaya whined dramatically, though he was smiling. Kadota sighed behind Shizuo.
"Why were you talking to Kishitani?" She demanded. Izaya's smile dropped.
"I didn't talk to him-"
"I know you're lying, cut it out. Why were you talking to him?" Izaya glanced at Shizuo for just a second, but long enough for the girl, Namie, to notice. She turned to Shizuo.
"You. Go." She snapped at him, misinterpreting Izaya's glace.
"Ah, Namie-san," Kadota cut in "This is Heiwajima Shizuo-kun. He's the one I said will be eating with us."
"Hm, no. He leaves, now." She said, tone leaving no room for arguments. Shizuo flinched a little at it, but found himself smiling. She remained him just a tiny bit of Vorona...
"Is something funny, Heiwajima?"Came an icy cold voice.
"Ah, no sorry. It's just...cute." 'No, that's not the right word...' "Funny." He said, grinning at her, thinking of his Russian friend. Vorona was so nice and Innocent,but she could be terrifying when she wanted to be. It clashed with her cute appearance in an interesting way. He looked up when he heard a furious hiss however, and saw Namies eyes narrow dangerously. He didn't know anything about this girl, but it was obvious right away that he made a mistake.
She strode up to him, furious in the way she was glaring daggers and bringing back a small hand, ready to slap him for his insolence. She was directly in front of him and bringing her hand when Kadota seemed to realize too what was happening. Lightning on his feet, he was there quick enough to pull her back just in time.
"Don't!" He gasped, tugging her away as her hand met air. She struggled harshly and Izaya straighted up from where he had been passively watching. He frowned at Kyouhei, disappointed.
"Dotachin, what's the matter?" Izaya asked.
"She was about to hit him!" Kadota hissed in reply, fighting to hold back the angry girl.
"Namie has hit people before, you've never cared." Izaya remarked, tilting his head.
"Yes," Namie hissed, still glaring at Shizuo. "Now let me go so I can finish the job!" She struggled harder, and Shizuo could see Kadota gritting his teeth and struggling himself to hold her back. 'What the fuck. Does he think I'll hit her back? I've never hit a girl! And I never would!" But despite these thoughts, Shizuo couldn't get a word in to say so.
"Just calm down Namie! Heiwajima, I think you'd better leave..." Kadota said, frowning at Shizuo. He tugged Namie back, shoulders tensing like he expected Shizuo to put up a fight.
"Dotachin, what's gotten into you?" Izaya asked. He reached over and patted Shizuo on the cheek almost patronizingly, and Shizuo didn't hold back his growl. "Shizu-chan won't mind if she slaps him right? Just let her do it so we can eat already." By now Namie had stopped struggling so much, but she still looked pissed.
"You don't understand." Kadota said desperately, eyes fixed on Izaya's hand which was still resting upon Shizuo's cheek. His grip tightened on Namie anxiously, and Izaya quickly took notice.
"Namie-chan, should I slap him for you~?" He purred, and she smirked at Izaya.
"Yes I think that would be fine~" She cooed back.
"Wait-!" Kadota gasped, but Izaya was already moving himself before Shizuo, hand rushing towards Shizuo before anyone, namely Kadota, could properly react. There was a sound similar to a fire cracker going off, a loud POP noise echoing around them for a few tense seconds. Everything seemed to stand still, as it the very universe was afraid of the blonde monsters reaction. When Shizuo smiled, the world started again in a panic. One could swear they heard birds flying away fro the area, students and teachers like tensing in fear for a reason unknown to them.
"Iiii-zaaaaa-yaaaaa-kuuuuuun." He growled, still grinning from where his head was turned to the side. His hands quickly fisted themselves in Izaya's jacket, lifting the smirking boy up with ease. Izaya chuckled at him, clearly delighted. Shizuo pulled back a fist, though he'd have kept his hand flat for a slap if he had any control over the vicious anger cycling through him at that moment.
"You hit me. That means you're prepared to be hit back. And eye for an eye, right Iiii-zaaaaa-yaaaaa-kuuuuun!?" Shizuo snarled. 'I've been dying for a chance like this.'
"Stop! Put him down Heiwajima!" Kadota snapped, shoving himself in between Shizuo and Izaya. Izaya stumbled back as Shizuo had to abruptly let go with Kadota shoving hard at his arms. Izaya pouted at Kadota.
"Dotachin! You know I can take care of myself~ Why'd you interfere?" Izaya asked, looking sullen at losing his nee form of entertainment.
"Not against him." Kadota said, looking at Izaya sternly, almost how a parent might tell their child about vans and candy.
'Seriously getting sick of this guy treating me like a fucking villain.' Shizuo thought, getting angrier. However, he took a deep breath through his nose, reaching his hand back and griping the fence behind him. He tore a hole in it, metal links breaking off and crumbing in his fist quietly. Thankfully neither Izaya nor Kadota noticed, too focused no arguing about Izaya and if he could handle Shizuo or not. If Namie noticed, she didn't care enough to say anything.
Letting go of the metal, and being silently grateful none had cut him, Shizuo simply sighed and sat down. He pulled out his Bento and began eating quickly. Lunch would be over soon. The others joined him in eating, though Izaya still pouted at Kadota between bites. Soon enough the bell rang, and it was time for the day to continue on.
