New chapter yay! I'm done with the story, I just need to upload the rest each day at a time. I think there's three chapters left? More or less ^^ Anyway, I'm still thinking about the sequel, please tell me more opinions! I'm kind of leaning towards high school but I'm still not 100% sure. Anyway, back to the story.
After our little field trip Izaya stopped talking to me. He stopped clinging onto me as well. It was getting me madder than when he was around me. He hangs out with Shinra and my brother now. When we walk home he's walking alongside Kasuka now. He acts as if I'm not even around. Everyone has noticed that I've been pretty upset about the whole Izaya thing lately so they seem to stay away from me even more now. What's worse is that I've been hearing stuff that's been upsetting me even more from the kids who used to pick on me.
"I don't get it…why the heck would they think that I like him!" I ask Shinra a bit too loudly.
"Well, you seem pretty down lately because he's not around you anymore…so…" Shinra says carefully. "You don't like him like that…do you?"
"Of course not!" I say but a blush suddenly appears on my face. I get all flustered and then without much warning, I hit the wall with my fist. "Ever since he got here he's gotten me in a lot of trouble, the little flea."
"That's true, but a lot of kids don't believe that you hate him. I mean if you really hated him he'd be in the hospital right?" I clench my fists in anger which makes Shinra flinch, but he then frails his arms nervously as he tries to apologize without crying. "Ne ne, Shizuo, I didn't mean it like that…I just meant you seem to be holding back for some reason!"
"That's not making me less mad!" I say but before I can act I hear soft footsteps approach us.
"Shinra, aren't you coming to eat lunch~!" Izaya asks happily but then frowns as he sees me. He looks to the floor and then turns around. "Kasuka and I'll be waiting at our usual table." Then he runs off, his furry jacket slightly blowing in the wind as he escapes. I had thought that if anyone would ever not be scared of me, it'd always be Izaya, but now that he acts so freaked out every time he sees me, I'm unsure.
"Why does he hate me, dammit?" I say as I toss Shinra aside. Shinra looks at me with a confused expression and then shakes his head. "I haven't done anything to him!"
"It sounds as if you care, Shizuo…" I turn around and glare at him. "Don't kill me!" He covers his face with his hands and shakes. I look at the ground and sigh. Izaya is making madder now than he ever did.
I act without thinking and start into a run. Shinra calls out to me, probably wondering what I'm going to do, but I'm too busy. I run over to where Kasuka and Izaya are sitting and slam my hands on the table. Izaya looks at me with fearful eyes but I ignore that and I just grab a hold of his wrist and lead him off somewhere. When we're finally out of sight I push him against the wall and glare at him.
"Why the heck are you ignoring me, flea!" I ask angrily. He stays silent, sort of whimpering as I glare at him. "It's making me crazy! First you said you liked me and wouldn't leave my side and now you're scared of me and won't even look at me? What's wrong with you?" I can feel myself crying a little, but I don't try to wipe away the tears.
Suddenly, a smirk appears on his face; that stupid smirk. I look at him with surprise and then feel his lips on mine. It was quick and felt weird. As he pulled away he smiled.
"Shizu-chan is so cute~" He says as I suddenly realized what just happened. I quickly spit and wipe my mouth, trying to rid my lips of that flea's germs. "You really missed me, huh~?" I look up and glare at him.
"You did plan all that! You little snake!" I say as I clench my fists.
"Of course, but really Shizu-chan made it too easy. You get so sad when you're all alone~" Izaya teases. "You were worried that even I was afraid of you? Please Shizu-chan, you may be a monster but I'm not scared of you~" Somehow I'm kind of happy…But why?
"Why did you kiss me for, flea!"
"If anyone was gonna get Shizu-chan's first kiss, I wanted it to be me~"
"You're a freak!" I say before heading off to get away from him. I suddenly feel a hand hanging onto my sleeve. I shouldn't have said anything to him. I liked it better when I was alone…
"Shizuo, are you even listening to me?" Shinra asks as he waves his hand into my face. I shake my head and look around to see where the heck I am. Still in school, dammit.
"What is it, Shinra?" I ask as I grit my teeth.
"I asked if you were coming to my sleepover. I figured since you and Izaya apologized this morning, that I might as well ask him if he wanted to come too." Shinra says happily.
"W-who said we made up?" I ask a bit angrily, but a little nervous all the same. Shinra waves his hands apologizing while doing so. "I'm not going to the sleepover."
"W-what…why not!" Shinra asks loudly.
"Because I just don't want to, not if the flea is going." I say in defense. "He annoys the heck out of me."
"Alright, if you say so, but there's gonna be a lot of sweet treats there." Shinra says happily. Sweets…? Dammit, sweets are my weakness…
"Fine, fine, fine, but I'm just going for the food." I sigh.
"Great! Bring your pajamas and a sleeping bag! It's gonna be a blast!" Shinra says as he excitedly. Somehow I feel as though I'm surrounded by idiots.
During class I sit next to Izaya who's smiling at me like some lovesick girl which is creeping me out. He pokes me and gets me out of my thoughts.
"Shizu-chan is going to Shinra's sleepover?"
"Ugh, yes flea. I am, so what?" I ask as I write the answer down to a question on my worksheet.
"I'm just happy. Shizu-chan and I are going to be able to sleep next to each other~!" Izaya says happily.
"As if! I'm not sleeping next to you!" I say a bit too loudly. Some girls start snickering.
"Shizuo and Izaya sitting in a tree~!" Some of the kids sing annoyingly. I clench my fists and look over to Izaya who's enjoying every minute of this. I throw my desk in the direction of Izaya but he jumps out of his seat and dodges the desk.
"Shizuo, the office—Now!" The teacher yells as I try to catch my breath. Izaya sticks out his tongue as the other kids stop their taunting. The last thing I want to hear is that stupid 'sitting in a tree' song. I will kill Izaya if he dares to start rumors about us kissing because we didn't! He kissed me, not the other way around. He's gross. I'm still trying to get that taste off of my lips. Whatever he thinks of me isn't right. We're boys after all. Is he completely crazy?
I head to the office for the billionth time and wait for the principal to call my mom. I hate being in this office, I'm sick of Izaya, and I hate it that everyone thinks that I like him. Everything is making mad nowadays.
"I would have thought you could go a day without being sent to the office, big bro." Kasuka says as he walks next to me. Izaya skips at my opposite side.
"Shizu-chan just never learns~" Izaya says tauntingly.
"I guess not." Kasuka agrees dully. I look over to Kasuka and give him a 'what the heck' look. "I'm just saying that you should have learned by now…"
"Shizu-chan, do you mind if I stay over your house until Shinra's sleepover starts~?"
"I do mind. Get lost." I say simply as I open the door to our house. Kasuka taps on my shoulder and points at Izaya who's making teary eyes at me. I face palm myself and shake my head in frustration.
"How about I take Izaya up to my room so he doesn't bother you?" Kasuka asks nicely.
"No, I rather not dump that kind of torture on you." I say as I look at Izaya.
"It's no trouble." Kasuka says with a shrug. "We'll just play some video games or something. I don't mind if, he doesn't."
"Oi flea, you can stay if you behave and go with Kasuka and play video games." I say as I enter the house. Izaya quickly jumps on my back and repeatedly thanks me. For what, I'm not sure. He walks inside, removing his shoes first and then looks at Kasuka.
"Well, you're no Shizu-chan, but as long as I get to be in the same house as him, I'm happy~" I hear Izaya tell my brother. What the heck?
"You must listen to a lot of Taylor Swift, huh?" Kasuka asks plainly. Izaya laughs a little.
While those two ran upstairs to Kasuka's room I decided to make a snack before we head off to Shinra's. Since I've never been invited to a sleepover I'm not quite sure what to expect. It might really suck since it's Shinra's, but then again he said there'd be sweets. If he lied to me I'm gonna make him go to sleep permanently.
"Kasuka!" I call out after a couple of minutes. After making some snacks I decided to share with my brother. If I have to I guess I'll give some to Izaya. I walk upstairs and stop at Kasuka's door. I hear my brother and Izaya speaking softly to each other as if they're sharing secrets. Great, Izaya's girly habits are contagious. I open the door slightly and see Kasuka nodding as Izaya smiles. Izaya suddenly looks over to me and smirks.
"Hi Shizu-chan, you know it's not nice to be a snoop~" Izaya says as he laughs a little. I walk over and set down a tray of snacks.
"Yeah right, like I'd ever listen to a word you say." I say plainly. "Kasuka, I made us some snacks. I guess you can have some too flea. I'll be downstairs if you need me." Kasuka blinks and then gets up when I head out.
"Big bro, can I ask you something?" Kasuka asks as he grabs my arm. Izaya is too busy eating some fatty tuna that my mom bought. I put that stuff on the tray because I knew we weren't gonna finish it.
"Go ahead."
"Did you really kiss Izaya-kun?"
"What? Is that what that flea told you?" I ask angrily.
"You don't have to get upset. Just answer the question."
"He kissed me. I did not kiss him!"
"Did you like it?" I suddenly froze. Why, why would he ask me that? Of course I didn't like it. He's a boy, I'm a boy. It's wrong. Everybody says that boys are supposed to go with girls. I never really thought about it much, but I know that's how it's supposed to be. Izaya is weird. He's probably from another planet. No way would I like him or his gross kiss!
"N-no, no I didn't." I say though my voice is kind of stuttering. My heart is beating faster as if I just came from PE. "Why would you even ask that?"
"I don't know. It's just I've never kissed anyone. I was just curious." Kasuka shrugs and then heads back into his room to sit by Izaya. Izaya looks up at Kasuka and smiles sincerely. What the heck is he smiling at my brother for? I would think, if anything, he'd be uncomfortable around my brother since he's the opposite from him. He can't get much of a reaction from him as he does from me, right? Wait, why am I thinking about this? I need a nap…
A/N: How cute...I love them 3 Anyway, please, please review it makes me happy and willing to upload the next chapter! Also throw in your opinions about the sequel: high school or adults? Also, as a side note the story gets kind of sad from this point. But don't worry I don't like sad endings (it says so on my profile XD) so you can't expect a sad ending just from that fact ^^
