"The flea had been acting really weird lately." Shizuo said as the two males walked to school; Shinra just grinned and nodded.
"He's been going through a lot lately, so we can't really blame him for acting that way." Shinra said, Shizuo looked down at him in confusion.
"What do you mean?" Shizuo asked curiously; Shinra felt a little nervous thinking of if Izaya didn't want anyone else to know about his dilemma.
"Uh…I don't think Izaya-kun wants me talking about it…he's just having family problems really..." Shinra said nervously, he knew Shizuo was a lot smarter than to buy that.
"Just tell me, it's not like I'm going bully him about it." Shizuo lied.
"Well…a couple months ago Izaya's mother died, he's still too young to legally take care of his sisters so if the child protection agency found out about them they would split the three of them up into different foster homes. So Izaya is keeping it all a secret from the agency; the only problem is Izaya doesn't have all that much money to buy food and clothes. So he uses any money he has to feed Mairu and Kururi. That's why the other day I gave him my lunch…because he hadn't eaten anything in the past three days." Shizuo was quiet for a while before finally speaking up.
"What about his father? Why can't he take care of them?" Shizuo asked.
"Izaya's father left Izaya's mother few years ago, that was a good thing for them though because he used to beat Izaya mercilessly when he got home from work." Shinra said sadly, feeling a little heart swelled at the thought.
"Huh? Why just Izaya?"
"Sigh…its complicated…Izaya's father was married to another woman before he met Izaya's current mother. He got that woman pregnant with Izaya and after she gave birth to him she died because something went wrong with the birth. Izaya's father got remarried and had Mairu and Kururi with his new wife, Izaya looks a lot like his birth mother so every time his father would see him he would get angry. He blamed Izaya for his wife's death so to punish him for it he would be Izaya."
"….Wow…the flea really is screwed up…" Shizuo said, actually feeling kind of bad for the brunet.
"Yea...I'm just glad Izaya-kun isn't being abused anymore…but he's trying so hard to take care of Mairu and Kururi that he's forgetting to take care of himself. I'm afraid that one of these days he'll just drop dead…literally!"
"Tch, that flea is way too stubborn to die." Shizuo laughed.
"Shizuo just because you hate him doesn't make him immortal."
Later that day…
"I'm glad you're eating Izaya-kun." Shinra said happily as he watched his friend shove another piece of fatty tuna into his mouth.
"Well you had Celty buy so much food for me I was able to get myself some fatty tuna." Izaya said as he finished the last piece of sushi.
"It really wasn't any trouble, people are paying me top dollar for my services now." Izaya smiled at the underground doctor. Shinra would get called in to help injured people that had been hurt with weapons they don't want the police to know about. Shinra wasn't the best negotiator but he still got a load of money for it.
"I'm glad you're doing well for yourself."
"Thanks, weren't you also offered a job not too long ago; something about being an information broker?"
"Yes, the boss said that he would give me an apartment in Shinjuku and I would be paid top dollar for distributing information…I said I would do it but after I graduate high school. I thought it would be too much to handle with school work and being out all night giving out information; the job is more being an underground information broker…it deals with more underworld business." The two were quiet for a while as they ate their lunch.
"I think you should take the job now, you need the money and if the apartment in Shinjuku is nice there really isn't any problem moving there right?" Shinra said, breaking the silence between the two.
"Yes but between my homework and picking up Mairu and Kururi from school I don't know if I'll have the time to distribute information."
"Well you won't know unless you try." Shinra said as a matter of fact.
"….I guess you're right, I saw some pictures of the apartment and it actually isn't half bad. After school I'll call me boss and tell him I'll be taking the job early." The two were stopped by a vending machine flying past them.
"IIZZAAAYYYYAA!" Shizuo screamed as he started to pick up another of the vending machines in the cafeteria. A smile spread across the new informants face as stood up from his seat, he ran out of the lunch room with the blonde following close behind. Not too long ago when the two were in gym class Izaya had took out his phone and took multiple pictures of the half naked blonde. Unfortunately Izaya ran out of the locker room before Shizuo had a chance to kill him.
"Get back here flea!" Shizuo screamed as he chased the flea up the stairs to the roof, Izaya just continued to laugh as he ran across the roof. Izaya quickly took out his cell phone and set the photos to be posted to the school website.
"Wouldn't it be great if the whole school got a look at these photos Shizu-chan?" Izaya asked as he held his finger over the "send" button.
"You wouldn't dare…" Shizuo said, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible.
"Hmmm I guess I won't send these to everyone in school…unless you do me a little something in return." Izaya said, an evil grin spreading across his face.
"What the hell could you possibly want?" Shizuo asked annoyed, Izaya just laughed and started walking forward towards the blonde. He wrapped his arms around the blonde's neck and pulled him closer, Shizuo was using every bit of willpower he had to keep from killing the smaller male right there and then.
"How about a passionate kiss?" Izaya asked, leaning forward until their bodies were crushed against each other; he was sure Shizuo was going to snap him in half…that was until he felt Shizuo's lips pressed against his own. Izaya's eyes widened when he felt Shizuo put his hands on his hips and shove his tongue into his mouth.
"Mmm…" Izaya moaned as he felt the blonde start stroking his sides; he had to admit…Shizuo was a pretty damn good kisser! The blonde moved a hand up the brunet's body until he was able to grab the cell phone in Izaya's hands; he quickly smashed it in his hands before pushing the brunet roughly onto the floor.
"Oh that's ok Shizu-chan, I already sent the photos." Izaya laughed before dodging another one of the blonde's punches.
