DISCLAIMER: THE USUAL


We find comfort among those who agree with us- growth among those who don't.

He was surprised when he found her that day on the rooftop.

It wasn't that he wasn't expecting her but...

She was much earlier than usual. MUCH

The sun lingered brilliantly in the sky, filtering through a thin layer of clouds.

They'd usually meet when the sun sinks behind the horizon and the sky is nothing but inky blackness.

So he immediately knew something was wrong. Sighing inwardly, he approached the dullahan who had her back turned to him. He sat next to her, their shoulder almost brushing.

" Let me guess, it's about your head again?"

[ Yes and No ]

Izaya raised a slender brow at this.

[ It's about Shinra ]

A smirk work its way on his lips," Oh, a lovers' quarrel, I see," Somehow he feels something in his chest and the words don't sound as cocky and teasing as he intended to.

Her shoulders hunched and it didn't go unnoticed by him.

He sighed inwardly. Since when had he become someone's emotional support? Especially someone who doesn't exactly show emotion.

Inwardly kicking himself he decided to open his mouth," So do you plan on telling me what happened or are you just gonna sit there and sulk?"

The silence that came after was like poison, gnawing at his insides, like paralyzing them of their ability of speech.

It seemed like forever before Celty finally replied.

[ We had an argument about my memories and missing head ]

[ He wants me to stop looking for my head ]

He can't help but notice the feeling bubbling at the pit of his stomach? Was it irritation?

He wasn't able to suppress the sigh that he let out," I can't really meddle in this one because this is your life-"

[ Isn't that what you've been doing all along? Meddling ]

" Let me finish," Izaya raised his hands in mock defeat," But all I can say is, you should continue searching for your head. I mean this is what you want and most importantly this is where you're happy. So you should never give up on this one," He offers her one of his cocky smiles but Celty can't help feel grateful.


Later that night he spots them inside Simon's sushi restaurant.

He was indulging in his favourite fatty tuna when the door opened, revealing the dullahan and the doctor.

His interest sparks when Shinra's face fell and he hid his fortune from Celty.

A smirk crept its way to Izaya's lips, judging by his reaction he knew somehow the doctor's fortune reads that his love will not come true. He can't help feel amused by this. He convinces himself that the reason he's happy by this was because he was a sadist and nothing more.

He opens his own fortune cookie and his brows furrow.

' The one you love is closer than you think'

He snorts and crumples the piece of paper, throwing it in a nearby trash bin.

" Fortune cookies are bullsh** . "


AN: PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW. AT LEAST THAT WOULD SOMEHOW LIFT UP MY MOOD.
