Shizuo POV-
Why the hell did I do that?! Why did I kiss Izaya? I mean sure I wanted to, but now I've probably fucked it all up. We're just recently become friends, what kind of friends kiss each other? I made my way to a nearby park to think and sat on one of its benches. There were only a few people around and they all seemed to be heading home well all but one or two. There was one guy who had entered the park just after me and had sat on a bench near me, he looked a little suspicious.
I continued sitting there for a while, rubbing my cheeks as I was still blushing from kissing Izaya. Why won't it go away? I'm not some teenage girl! I wonder how Izaya is after that… I bet he's a little confused but does he hate me? Did he even mind me kissing him? "I'm an idiot… this is why I'm supposed to think before I act…" I hadn't even noticed the guy head over, until I heard him speak. "Yeah you are, punching Shiki-san like that." I looked up, seemed this guy worked for that asshole. "He deserved it, but that wasn't what I was talking about."
"Now I don't know what you were referring to, but either way you're stupid for hitting Shiki-san. You even broke his nose." Not gonna lie, but I felt proud about that. I'd actually caused some minor damage for once, and it was deserved. The guy continued talking "You know, the boss said something about paying Orihara-san a visit. Though that wouldn't bother you because you two hate each other right? Anyway you can't interfere considering you'll have been shot." I stood and before I could ask what he meant by that I heard two consecutive shots and felt a pain in my stomach, causing me to stagger back and fall back onto the bench I had been sitting on.
I clutched my stomach, realising some second guy had shot me from a distance, cowards… bit by bit I started to lose consciousness. I'd been shot before but not in the stomach. My last thought before I blacked out was worrying whether Izaya was alright.
Izaya POV-
Sitting on the couch of my apartment I started thinking. Shizuo kissed me, and then ran off. He looked surprised that he did that, embarrassed too… Does Shizu-chan have feelings for me? Better question is if he does, how do I feel about that? Do I like him the same way? I'm comfortable when he hugs me, and I did sorta enjoy the kiss…but is that just attraction or do I like him?
I sighed and lay down; only he could make me question things like this. If I do like him, what then? If I don't will we still get along? I hope we would, I enjoy his company. This is such a drastic change from what we were like… but I'm thankful for the change. I wonder where he went, maybe back to his apartment, or a nearby park, maybe even a bar.
I must have lain down on my couch for a while before checking my phone as I had received a text. I blinked seeing the name "Celty? Wonder what she wants…" I read the text and my eyes went wide.
-Shizuo's been shot. I found him in the park, Shinra's treating him now and told me to let you know.-
Shot? Who would shoot Shizuo? I…wait. Shiki did say he would regret hitting him…Shit. Without a second thought I grabbed my coat and rushed out of my apartment to get to Shinra's place. "You better be ok Shizuo… I swear to the God I don't believe in…"
