OMG AND THANK YOU for the ReviewS ;u; I know it may not be a lot but they meant a lot to me TTvTT
Friendship
Izaya and Shizuo were dropped onto the floor. The darkness retreated back towards Celty, who was observing the two men.
Shizuo stumbled on his feet, but then stood up properly. He raised his eyebrow questioningly. I don't feel different, he thought. He ran his hand through his blonde locks and body to see of something were wrong. I definitely don't look different...
He then looked at the informant, who was on his knees, coughing violently and shaking. What the hell? Izaya thought. Something was wrong. His abdomen felt really... Weird. He couldn't explain it... But Izaya really felt like throwing up, but of course he had way too much pride to show that he was weak in front of Celty or Shizuo. Especially Shizuo.
Izaya just wobbled onto his feet, and his signature smirk spread across his face, "Is that it? Your almighty curse? What a waste of time..." he tried to brush it off.
Shizuo rolled his eyes. Izaya sure was cocky. He was just on the floor a minute ago coughing, as if he were dying, and now he was acting like nothing happened.
[It may not suddenly happen now... But sooner or later, the curse will take full effect] Celty shoved her PDA in Izaya's face, then Shizuo.
Shizuo didn't know what to say. It's not like, he turned into a werewolf or something like he usually sees in movies or cartoons. No, he was perfectly fine... So he thought. But what was wrong with the flea? Would he have had the same fate as him with this curse? Whatever was happening to Izaya, it was bad. Really bad.
Celty waited a moment to stare at the struggling Izaya, then turned back around into Shinra's room. She opened the door to find a confused Shinra, wanting to know what all the commotion was about.
"Hey, Celty! What's going on out there? Why did I hear yelling? Are Shizuo and Izaya fighting?" Celty's reply was a PDA in his face. [I'll fill you in on everything later. But first I need you to do something for me]. Shinra looked at her questioningly, but then smiled, "Of course." he answered.
Meanwhile, Izaya and Shizuo were still in the hallway. Izaya was still coughing violently. It was hard to catch his breath, and he wasn't sure what he was trying to cough out. It wasn't mucus, or blood, nor spit, but it was very irritating. Especially with the blonde hovering over him.
"Ugh... Can you ... Go away?" Izaya asked irritably; coughing between every other word. Shizuo looked at the flea and raised his brow, "Oi, Izaya. Are you okay?" Izaya growled in response, "I'm fine, now leave me alone."
Wait.. Why did he care? Why did he suddenly start wanting to know if he was okay or not? What the hell was his problem? Shouldn't Shizuo be happy if Izaya was coughing up a lung? Maybe he should ask?
Before Izaya had a chance, Shinra yelled from the other room, "Shizuo, Izaya! Would you guys come here please?" The ex bartender sighed, "Coming.." he turned around and went inside the room.
Izaya, still coughing and wobbling, starting to walk towards the room after Shizuo. His coughing had subsided a bit, he was coughing a little softer than before.
As he walked in, Shizuo and Celty were quiet and emotionless, while Shinra had his goofy little grin spread across his face, "Hey, Izaya! You're finally here! Okay well I've got a request!" Izaya frowned. A request? He wasn't too fond of doing things for free. But then again, Shinra was Izaya's friend. Probably one of the few people Izaya was friends with. Maybe... maybe just once... he could actually do Shinra one favor.
"Like I said before, I'll do anything to make it up..." Shizuo promised. Shinra smiled delightfully, "Good! And how about you, Izaya?" Izaya coughed quietly, he only nodded, knowing that his voice was hoarse, and wouldn't be able to talk as smoothly as he wanted.
"Great! Well my request is... well I would like you two to... uhmmm..." Shinra didn't quite know how to say it.
"Spit it out!" Shizuo yelled impatiently. Shinra gulped then took a deep breath. "Eh... Well I want you two to become good friends!" he exclaimed. Izaya started to violently cough, again. Not because of whatever curse Celty had placed on him earlier, but how unreal the request was!
Seriously? Him and Shizuo? They could barely get along in a room together let alone become good friends.
Shizuo blinked at the doctor. "What!"
"Y-you promised me that you would do anything to make it up!" Shinra tried, "C'mon, Shizuo! I'm practically gonna miss almost a whole 6 months of work because of the accident! Please! I figured that if you and Izaya didn't fight as much, this wouldn't have ever happened! So the best thing is for you two to be friends!" Shinra whined.
Shizuo didn't like this. He hated the request! He wished he hadn't told Shinra that he would do anything. He was getting angry.. This was entirely bullshit! He didn't even want to be next to the flea, let alone be fucking friends with him!
Shizuo didn't say anything, he just stared at the floor angrily. Izaya finally spoke up, "Absolutely not! Your headless girlfriend over here already screwed me up by putting this idiotic curse upon me, and now you want me to become friends with my worst enemy? You can forget it!"
"But... Izaya please! This is what friends do for each other! I would help you anyway possible if you were in my position!" Shinra wailed.
"I'm starting to not want friends anymore.." Izaya replied.
"Eh? Please, Izaya! It'd make me so happy! And this is the only request I'll ever ask of you two! Please, please, please!" Shinra begged. Ugh this was excruciatingly annoying!
Why all of a sudden become friends? Just because of a silly accident? Because Shizuo was the one who did it and Izaya happened to be involved? Why? Why? Why?
"Alright..." was Shizuo's response. He didn't like it! Not one bit! But he wasn't doing it because he wanted to... No! That was definitely not the case. He was only doing it for Shinra.
As soon as the word came out of Shizuo's mouth, everyone's direction turned to Izaya. Waiting for his answer as well. Ugh... Why wouldn't they just leave him alone? Izaya was starting to get a headache. He rubbed his temples and answered, "Fine!"
The young doctor smiled, "Yay! Thank you guys so much! You know, I think this will be good for the both of you. You guys won't have to run around in the streets of Ikebukuro hurting innocent people anymore if you guys are friends hahah."
Izaya's eyes narrowed. But that was his favorite thing to do! He liked being chased and have huge inanimate objects thrown at him! This was getting extremely frustrating! He wanted to take his answer back and decline, but... What's the use? Shinra was happy about his answer, and to his surprise, Shizuo actually agreed too.
"Celty here will be making sure you guys are actually doing what I asked, just in case if you two don't actually take me seriously and start avoiding each other." Shinra added.
Shizuo raised his brow, "What the hell do you expect us to do?"
"Well I definitely don't want you two to avoid each other! That's not what good friends do! Good friends spend time with each other and make sure they know a lot of things about one other." Shinra informed.
That wasn't too hard for Izaya. He had a lot of information about the brute, and he basically knew everything about him.
"So... You basically want us to hang out with each other?" Shizuo asked.
"Precisely! And Celty will be spying on you two just in case if you guys aren't really hanging out." Shinra answered.
"Augh, whatever! Okay! We can all get this started tomorrow. Hope you recover, Shinra. Goodbye." Izaya quickly dismissed. He swiftly sped out of the room and went down the hall towards the elevator.
"Alright.. I guess I'll be going home too. Catch you guys later... " Shizuo said and left as well, closing the door behind him. He soon found Izaya waiting on the elevator. Izaya was still coughing slightly. I wonder what's wrong? Shizuo thought.
"Oi, flea! You alright?" he asked. Ugh... This was the second time Shizuo asked that question.
"Why ... Do you care?" Izaya asked while he was still coughing.
Shizuo raised a brow, "I just wanted to make sure! I'm not a heartless person. If someone's not alright I'll ask if they're okay. Even if it's you, flea."
Izaya blushed a bit. No one ever really cared if he was okay or not. Everyone pretty much hated him, because he screwed up so many people's lives for fun.
"Huh? Why's your face red?" Shizuo commented.
Oh god! Izaya didn't notice he was blushing so hard! Think of something quick! C'mon you're Izaya Orihara! Think! Think! "Uh... I think I'm starting to ... Have a fever." he lied.
"Ah.. Okay." Shizuo said, but he didn't question it even further.
Izaya felt really awkward. He was blushing because of some sympathetic words? What the hell was wrong with him?
"What the hell is taking this elevator so long?" Izaya sighed.
Shizuo raised his brow, "Maybe because you didn't press the button" he pointed out.
"Eh?" Izaya blinked then pressed the button.
Shizuo started to laugh, "You really are stupid sometimes."
"S-shut up! This stupid fever is making me delirious.."
"Haha yeah, sure, whatever." Shizuo mocked.
The elevator finally opened. Thank goodness it was empty, Izaya couldn't stand being in an enclosed box with a lot of chattering people. But Izaya soon frowned. It was way worse, he was in a box with the monster of Ikebukuro.
"Eh... Maybe you should take the stairs...?" Izaya suggested.
Shizuo raised his brow, "Maybe you should go take the stairs!"
Izaya would've gladly done so, but then again his legs were still wobbly and he certainly didn't want his legs to give out and fall down the stairs.
"Must you be so difficult, Shizu-chan?"
"You're the one being difficult! Telling me to take the stairs!"
"I just don't want to kill me in this elevator."
"Huh? I won't attack you while you're weak. That's not fair. I want a fair fight against you." Shizuo said as he strolled into the elevator.
As much as Izaya did not want to be in the same elevator as Shizuo, it had to be done. He walked into the elevator as well and leaned on the wall of the elevator for support.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Shizuo asked once again.
Izaya's face turned red again "Dammit" he muttered and turned away, to hide his flustered face, "I'm fine! Stop asking me that..."
Shizuo shrugged, then looked away. He was just concerned because, he didn't want this to happen to him! With Izaya who became abnormally sick because of Celty's 'curse' , who knows? It may happen to him next. Becoming weak and wobbly, was not what he was looking forward to.
The elevator came to a stop and the two walked out of the hospital.
"So, Shizu- chan. We're going to start this ridiculous friendship thing tomorrow... Okay?" Izaya stated.
"Yeah, that'd be fine. What are we gonna do, flea?"
"Well...lets start with lunch?"
"Okay, where?"
"Russia Sushi! I want some otoroo!" Izaya exclaimed.
Shizuo rolled his eyes, "Whatever... I get off work at 2 o clock, so I could get there about 2:30."
"Alright then. 2:30. By the way, Shizu-Chan. I'm not doing this forever. Only until Shinra is well, again."
Shizuo huffed, "That's a long ass time.."
"As long as you focus on not killing me, then you should be fine."
Then Shizuo thought. Ever since Celty placed the curse on them, his focus wasn't on killing the flea. Why was that? Was it part of the curse? Him actually not wanting to kill the flea? That didn't seem like a curse. It was actually quite relieving.
"Alright, well I'm heading home. See ya tomorrow..." Shizuo sighed and left Izaya. Izaya turned around and headed home as well.
….
Back in the hospital, Celty was still with Shinra. She had explained how she cursed Shizuo and Izaya for a punishment.
"Oh... I see. So what's the curse about?" Shinra asked.
[I can't really tell you... Sorry, Shinra.] Celty replied.
Shinra only smiled. "It's okay. But can you at least tell me why you made me ask Shizuo and Izaya to be friends? That was downright painful!"
Celty's fingers glided across her keyboard, then showed her phone to him. [In order for the curse to take full effect, they need to be close all the time.]
"Is that why... Izaya was coughing like that?" he questioned.
[Well... Sort of... Izaya just got the side effect of my shadows. Shizuo is immune to it because his immune system is strong. Izaya should stop feeling sick in the morning.]
"Oh, okay. Well um... Can you at least give me a hint of what the curse will do?" he asked carefully.
Celty hesitated, but then typed very slowly.
[Let's just say, that it will change their lives forever.]
:0 Wow! Only Celty (and I ) knows the super duper secret of the curse! ~~
Yeah, but next chapter is when Shizuo and Izaya will start going on their date… I mean ehh their first friendship hang-out :D hahah
Hmmm does anyone think they know what the curse is? Ahahah
Someone said that they might turn into kids XD That'd be funny, but nope~ That's not it~~ hahah
You shall find out sooner or later ;)
