Chapter 8: Fear and realization

- Izaya´s point of view. In his apartment. The sun has set. 20 minutes until Kuntilanak´s appearance.-

For a second he was just frozen.

His eyes widened and he stared disbelieving at the blond in front of him.

He had expectd a punch, with his fist into his face. Of course, how could he not? This was Shizuo after all, and for once he really had him in a position where he would succeed in hitting him.

A nice blue eye like he had gotten it from Simon that was what he honestly expected- but what the hell was this-?!

Finally coming back to his senses he pushed the blond away hard, a glare settling on his eyes.

"What the fuck are you doing-?!" he spat, frowning at the blond as he wiped his lips with his right arm´s sleeve.

The blond´s brows knitted into a furrow, but he didn´t seem angry or anything whatsoever. More like annoyed. What the hell was he annoyed for?

What did he even expect him to do?

Why did he even kiss him in the first place?!

"Izaya I actually think that demon might be right." Izaya thoughts dropped at that statement and for a second he just blinked and stared at the blond.

huh?

But then it made sense.

He had done it because of that bond shit right?!

He just didn´t get it, how could that protozoan just believe the bullshit that demon had told him?!

How could he go as far as to kiss him to make him believe it was true?!

"… so you love me now or what?! Is that what you want to say, huh?!" he yelled at the debt collector, furious for his damn stupidity, if he tried to make Izaya believe this, then he would have to believe this whole stuff himself first.

And Izaya heavily doubted that Shizuo would love him now all of a sudden.

Maybe not hate anymore as much as he did, that, he would maybe accept, since he was acting a little strange the past days. Saving him, not beating him up when he was sick, etc, but love?!

As if-!

Of all the things that he did not know about Shizuo, or that were unpredictable, he knew one thing for sure.

This brute did not love him!

He hated him! He always had ever since that day they met for the very first time in highschool. It had been his very first words that came out of his mouth-!

So-

"Maybe."

"Exactly. May-" he paused and just gaped at the blond, his mouth opening and closing again, without a sound leaving.

Did he just say what he tought he did?!

"Are you fucking serious?!" he asked, his glare hardening as his words dripped like venom from his lips.

But the blond didn´t answer.

"Tch- you are freaking crazy you know that-!" he yelled.

How could he let himself be manipulated to that degree?!

"Crazy!" He shoved the blond away and walked over to Shizuo´s bedroom door.

"That demon is wrong Shizu-chan get that through your fucking head-!" he was sick of constantly telling that stupid protozoan that the demon had to be lying.

"Wrong!" And with those last words he stepped inside Shizuo´s bedroom and slammed the door shut.

Shizuo flinched slightly at the loud sound, and sighed.

… well… this did not quite turn out like he expected it to do.

… not that he had any plan but..

The demon said to just test things out right?

He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

But okay… actually kissing that flea was probably a bit rash to try when he knew the flea still hated him.

"Oi." He mumbled, turning around to face the spot Akem Manah had been standing at.

"Your plan backfired." He commented, even though nothing was visible. But he just knew that guy was still here.

Why? He didn´t even know. He just had a feeling.

"How did you know I am here?" a voice suddenly asked, and really, the demon appeared on exactly the spot he had disappeared before.

Shizuo just glanced at the demon and let himself drop onto the couch.

"I didn´t know. But in a weird sense you remind me of the louse, and he would stay to see how his things turned out." He shrugged.

A grin flashed over Akem manah´s face, for just a single second and his skeleton jaw clattered as he laughed.

"Heh, I was wrong. You might even be smarter than that human." He grinned.

-Izaya´s point of view. Inside Shizuo´s bedroom.-

Angry Izaya stomped into the room.

He couldn´t believe it.

That the blond would do something like this, just to try and prove to Izaya that the demon was right!

What the hell? He knew Shizuo was one stubborn protozoan, but to that degree?

Annoyed he wiped with his sleeve over his mouth.

What the hell did that blond even think he was doing?!

He freaking kissed him-!

Kissed okay?

He could still feel those lips touch his own.

He hated that brute, he hated him-!

Why did he do that?

Tch, seriously, why did he do that…?

Why did he say 'maybe'?

This was actually the thing that confused him the most. It irritated him even more than the kiss.

With a protozoic brain like Shizuo´s, he could even kind of understand the fact, that he would kiss him just to make a point, because he was just that stubborn.

He wouldn´t have been chasing him through Ikebukuro and Shinjuku since highschool, if that weren´t the case.

But what the hell did he mean with that 'maybe'?

It didn't make sense.

Izaya didn´t believe that anything, anything in this world could make Shizuo say something like that to him.

So what the hell did he mean? Was he going crazy and starting to think he might actually love him?

"Tch-" annoyed Izaya let himself slump down on Shizuo´s bed.

He still couldn´t believe he just did that.

That was his freaking first kiss.

Not that he was saving it for anyone but still.

The first person to kiss him ever, had to be Shizu-chan?

What the hell, this had to be a bad joke.

-Shizuo´s point of view. In the living room.-

"What do you mean?" Shizuo tilted his head as he looked at the demon in front of him.

But the demon just grinned to himself and stopped laughing.

"Oh, nothing. Don´t mind my words. But you know, if I were you, I would start now." He pointed to the floor, only making Shizuo blink confused at him.

"Huh?"

The demon siddled over to the spot he pointed on and let two chalk sticks fall to the floor, together with a tiny piece of paper.

"The seal. You have to draw it in three times nights. And since Kuntilanak is going to be here soon, I think you should start now." He explained, making Shizuo blink as he remembered the demon´s words.

"…right.." he mumbled, a frown settling on his eyebrows and walked over to the spot.

The fact that this woman was going to appear soon again didn´t sit well with him at all.

He didn´t want the flea to be the center of her target again-

Sighing he let himself drop down to the floor into a sitting position and took the tiny piece of paper. A seal was neatly drawn on the backside of the paper.

"This is what you have to draw. Start with the inner ring." The demon instructed and chuckled one last time. "I will be returning once that woman disappears." Were the last words he spoke, before dissipating into thin air.

Shizuo frowned a little, looking around. But this time the demon was gone for good.

It might sound stupid, but he felt more comfortable with that demon around than not.

It wasn´t like he completely trusted that demon after all. Just to a certain degree, and that only because he knew what he had said was true.

But not anything farther than that.

Sighing he looked at the seal, and started drawing on the floor. Shortly his glance fell back to his bedroom door.

Izaya was still in there right? And probably freaking out because he kissed him. He had to be, because if he were not, Shizuo was pretty damn sure he would stick close to him.

It was getting dark after all.

And once that woman appeared…

Feeling uneasy Shizuo´s hand stopped in the middle of drawing.

The demon said that woman would only appear after the sun completely set, right?

He looked out of the window.

…it was pretty close to being almost completely set.

What if she appeared a little sooner?

Suddenly feeling anxious he stood up from the floor quickly and moved over to his bedroom.

The image of Izaya maybe already having been killed and laying there in his bedroom, like that secretarian did, quickly flashed through his mind.

He opened the door-

"Oi Iza-" and paused midsentence, sighing relieved. The raven was still in there.

He had instantly glared at him and even grabbed a knife to aim at him.

He wasn´t laying torn up on the floor.

Wait, wasn´t that one of his kitchen knives?

"What do you want?" Izaya spat, obviously still very angry for what he did before.

But Shizuo was more concerned about something different.

"Nothing… it´s just, the sun is setting you know."

That sentence was all that was needed for Izaya´s anger to disappear instantly and make his eyes go wide with fear instead.

He wiped his head around, anxiously eyeing his surroundings, before letting his eyes lock onto the window.

"She will appear again soon, won´t she…?" he suddenly asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Shizuo frowned a little and looked around as well.

The anxiety of the flea was infectous.

"I don't know, but you should-" he didn´t get to finish his sentence.

Suddenly a loud noise was to be heard and-

*ZING*

It was completely dark in the room.

A power shortage-

Before Shizuo could even react or finish his sentence, there was a raven on his arm, clingling tightly to him.

"Shizuo..?" He didn´t even need to ask what the raven was doing when the shaking whisper reached his ears. He was trembling, just like he did after he found that secretarian in his bedroom.

He was scared shitless. Sighing Shizuo wrapped his arms around the raven, making him flinch slightly.

"It´s me don´t worry. It´s probably… just a power shortage." He answered quiet, trying to calm the flea down a bit. After all, although just barely, he could still see some light outside.

She could only appear once the sun completely set. Though… that was probably really soon.

"That´s what you say-" Izaya whispered quietly into the dark. "What if she is…. Already there? Staring at us from the dark…?" he mumbled, not exactly making Shizuo feel better in this very dark room.

He couldn´t see anything in here. Izaya might as well be right.

"Izaya it´s-" but the raven wasn´t going to let him finish his sentence.

"Shut up-!" Shizuo blinked at the harsh answer, but sighed, holding the flea a closer.

Izaya knew what the blond would be saying again. The same words that he said after they found Namie.

That it was going to be 'alright'. As if-!

A freaking demon was after them with the only goal to murder them in the most cruel way-!

There was no way this was going to be alright-!

Shizuo frowned a little. He still could see nothing in the dark, only feel the raven shiver against his chest and that was probably not the best way to remain waiting, if that insane demon was going to appear soon.

"… its gonna be alright…" he tried soothing the raven while hoping that the lights would turn on soon again.

"That´s what you say. We can´t even see anything, she could be here already and-" Izaya swallowed, and tightened his grip on the blond. At the imagination that she was already staring at them, maybe right behind him… he shivered.

"Izaya, its going to be okay." Izaya glared into darkness at that half assed response.

"Nothing is gonna be okay Shizuo! Because-" he was going to yell at the blond, tell him how wrong he was, how stupid, but suddenly he froze midsentence.

In fact both did, when they heard something move in this room.

And it was not any of the two that had made the sound.

Shizuo´s eyes darted around, trying to find something, anything to see in the room.

But it was way too dark, all he could make out was black.

… was… was that woman already here…?

He took a step backwards, instantly feeling the raven cling harder onto him.

"Izaya, we should get out of here." He whispered quiet. The raven just nodded, his hands still trembling against the blond´s shirt.

He was too scared to open his mouth. He was too scared to make any sound at all.

His throat felt like it was being squeezed shut.

Only slowly Shizuo moved backwards to the cupboard in his room.

There was something.

He didn´t see it, he didn´t hear it, but he just knew she was here.

And suddenly the lights went on again-

Shizuo froze and his eyes widened shocked when he found himself looking right into the woman´s teeth covered, widened throat-

"Izaya-!" within a second he tugged harshly at Izaya´s wrist and stepped aside-

Just in time before the woman´s jaw came crushing down, trying to eat Izaya as a whole as it seemed-

A low growl was heard from the woman and the raven stared shocked at the demon in front of him. She had been about to bite him, or eat him or what the fuck did she even intend to do to him?!

He shivered, and took a step backwards, only to be pulled harshly on his wrist once more.

Barely he managed to turn around and not stumble over his own feet when the blond pulled him after.

"RUN!" the blond yelled at the raven, and finally it clicked. Shizuo bust the door open and stormed down the stairs, Izaya following close, before hearing the woman scream from the apartment and dash after them.

He didn´t turn around or looked over his shoulder for a second.

That woman was just behind them- right behind them! She would get them if they weren´t fast enough!

They both ran as fast as they could through Ikebukuro, through various alleys and streets and around multiple corners.

Izaya felt like his heart was beating right out of his chest, anxiety driving them both to run even faster than usual. Both their lungs burnt for air, but they didn´t stop.

And again there were no people.

The city suddenly seemed to be empty.

As if the demon had made sure that no one could interrupt.

Panting they stopped for a second in an alley.

The screams had stopped and they had been running for quite a while.

Anxious their eyes darted around to make sure that woman wasn´t just playing with them and already waiting. But for now it really looked like they were alone in the alley.

"You think she will find us if we hide?" Izaya suddenly mumbled quiet. Shizuo panted and glanced at the raven.

He was still holding his hand. He could feel the trembles that still shook the raven as he looked around hasty.

"I don´t know, but-"

And suddenly there was a whine, only quiet. Really quiet.

Shizuo´s eyes widened and he turned around.

There she was.

At the end of the alley, tilting her head to the side and stared at them from her empty sockets.

Cockroaches were gathering at her feet and she grinned crazily.

"Found you~"

Izaya´s eyes widened and he stumbled backwards, only for his back to hit the wall of the house.

And then he screamed-

Shizuo swirled around, looking away from the demon, when he spotted it.

Black shadows mixed with cockroaches were crawling on the wall and pulled Izaya inside-

"Izaya!" Shizuo pulled at Izaya´s wrists, trying to tug him out of those shadows, but they wouldn´t let go, they just dragged him inside further.

"Shizuo-!" Izaya squeezed his eyes shut, and tried to get away from the shadows, but it was useless, the woman laughed at the end of the alley.

"Izaya-!"Shizuo tried to pull again, but- no chance-!

"Shizuo-! Don't let go-!" Panicking Izaya tried to hold onto the blond, the shadows were starting to devour his lower half.

"Don´t let go-!" they were crawling up his chest towards his face-

"Don´t le-"

And suddenly it went dark.

Dark.

Just black.

"Shizuo?!"

Izaya blinked.

He couldn´t see anything!

His hands were empty, he was just standing in a black room. He gulped.

Where was Shizuo?

Where was he?

Where was that demon-?!

"Shizuo?!" he cried, shivering, hoping for the blond to answer, to maybe be there, to-

"Shiz-.." and suddenly he froze.

It was so dark.

But suddenly he could see… something.

There was something… there was something he knew it-

Just in front of him. A few meters ahead.. something was lurking on the floor, staring at him.

.. there was something watching him.

It was so dark.

So dark.

"Ah-!" he screamed when suddenly something touched his back and swirled around.

But there was nothing, there was-

He turned around again, eyes wide- Where did that thing go..?!

Shivering he pulled out his knife and held it securely in front of him. Swirling around quickly.

What was there?!

"Izaya….." his eyes went wide and he swirled around once more.

"Who is there?!" he asked, trying to sound not affected, but his voice was shaking with each word.

"I…za…ya…"

And suddenly there was light-

Way too much light. Izaya squeezed his eyes shut, overwhelmed by the sudden change in his surroundings.

He blinked, trying to see what was in front of him.

But when he did, he wished he had never looked.

His eyes widening he stumbled back, away from.. from that…

"What.."

"Izzzaayaaaaaaaa…"

What the hell was that?!

Feeling nauseous he tried ot pry his eyes off the sight in front of him. It looked like a human. A rotten human. Cockroached were crawling all over, and inside his body.

He was torn apart… his insides, slowly being dragged after him as he crawled towards the raven.

Just like Namie…

And he was calling his name.

"Izayaaaa…. You… you are next…" Izaya blinked and he crawled backwards, away from the creature.

"What do you mean I´m next?" he asked, his voice very soft and suddenly-

The lights went out again.

Izaya flinched at the sudden darkness and swirled his knife around once more.

And suddenly there was a tug at his wrist.

A scream tore from his lips and he tore his arm away, slashing whatever had grabbed him, only to receive a high pitched shriek.

It was the man.

It was the rotting corpse-

Disgusted Izaya stepped away from him-

"Stay away-!" he yelled, slowly moving backwards, only for his back to hit something else.

He swirled around once more, trying to make out what it was and stared right into two black sockets.

But not those of the woman.

It was another corpse, a standing one.

It could still walk, but it was rotting away as well.

Surprised Izaya stumbled back, falling down to the floor and stared at the thing in front of him.

"Iza..ya…" the corpse suddenly grinned and moved towards him.

"Give me your flesh- give me your life-"

Izaya´s eyes widened.

"What…?"

"Your fleshhh…" And suddenly he heard more voices. Panicking he looked around only to notice more and more of these corpses crawling out of the shadows.

"Your lifeee.." suddenly the corpse tried to bite him, Izaya tugged his arm away and crawled backwards, trying to get away from those things, trying to get away, but-

"Izaya…." They were behind him as well! They were left, they were right, they were behind him in front of him- they had surrounded him-!

And they moved-! They moved all towards him!

"Izayaaaa… Izayaaa…"

"Stay away-!" Izaya cried, aimlessly swinging his knife around, trying to slash one of the corpses, but it didn´t even flinch at the cut. The opposite, way quicker than Izaya had thought was possible for the corpse, its hand shot forward and gripped Izaya´s wrist, biting down on it hard.

"NO-! Let go-!" Izaya yelled, trying to get the damn thing off- He tried to hit it, he tried to get it off, but it just bit down harder- blood dripping down his wrist-

And suddenly there were the others, they were biting him too-!

They were going to eat him alive-!

"Stop-! STOP" And then there were the cockroaches-

Izaya´s eyes widened when the sound of thousands of little legs tripling along the white floor reached his ears.

He glanced to the side only to see them. Those little creatures of hell, all those black cockroaches approach him from afar.

"No!" he screamed, panicking, trying to tear himself away from those corpses, trying to get away- but-

"NO!" they were already there-!

Almost almost-!

They were about to touch him! They would crawl into his skin again!

They would eat away at him from inside, they would-!

"Shizuo-!"

-Shizuo´s point of view. Outside in the alley.-

He couldn´t pull him out-!

He was still holding the raven´s wrist and pulling, trying to get him out again-! But the shadows were just getting more and more!

"Tch damn-!" he swore, glaring at the woman at the end of the alley.

"Leave him alone-!" he yelled, only to try pull the raven out of these black shadows again-

The moment they had covered his head, he had stopped moving. He didn´t know what had happened, he didn´t know why the raven was suddenly not moving anymore.

He didn´t even know if the raven was dead or not-!

He didn´t even know what was happening to him inside there!

"Izaya! Can you hear me?!" He screamed, trying to get through to the raven, but with no success, the raven was still not moving.

"Izaya! Tch-!" he let go of Izaya´s left wrist, wrapping both his hands around his right instead and tried to pull harder.

"Izaya-!" the left hand disappeared into the darkness.

"Iza-!" Suddenly the blond blinked.

He had wrapped both his hands around Izaya´s wrist, but that wasn´t what made him stop.

The second he wrapped his hands around the raven´s hand, the part that he touched that was already covered in shadows, suddenly got freed.

Instinctively he grabbed forward, right into the shadows, only to see them move away from his hand-

"What-"

-Izaya´s point of view-

Trembling he had squeezed his eyes shut. He didn´t want those critters inside him, but he had no option to flee, he didn´t know what to do.

He couldn't do anything. Just… just not inside again…

Just-

Suddenly he paused in his thoughts.

His arms, his legs- he felt to light all of a sudden-

His eyes snapped back open again and he looked around.

They were gone.

Panicking he turned around. It couldn´t be that they were just gone. No way.

That woman wanted to kill him.

If she had really let him go then for the sole reason, that she wanted to kill him himself, meaning she was already there, meaning she was definitely somewhere in here-!

But he turned around, and looked at his surroundings, only to see nothing.

There was no one there.

Neither those corpses, nor that demon.

And suddenly something touched his back-

"Ah-!" his eyes widened and he jumped around in surprise, thinking that now, now that demon or one of those things got him-

Only to find the one thing here, that he did not expect to see.

"Izaya, we have to get out of here-!" he couldn´t believe his eyes. Did that stupid brute save him from the corpses or something? He didn´t know, he didn´t have a clue. But he would be lying if he said that he wasn´t immensely relieved to see the protozoan.

"Shizuo…" Before he even knew what he was doing he found himself leaning onto the blond´s shoulders, squeezing his eyes shut once more.

Softly he rested his hands on the blond´s chest in an attempt to find comfort.

"Shizuo there were so many dead people." He started to mumble, rolling his hands to a tiny fist, his voice shaking a bit as he touched the wet chest.

"They were dead.. but they were coming closer, and… and there were cockroaches… and-"

"Iz…a…ya.." wait, wet-?

Confused Izaya opened his eyes again and opened his palm, glancing at his hand.

Red.

There was red-

Blood.

Blood?

His eyes darted back to the spot he had been touching and they widened. Blood, there was so much blood coming from there.

No shizuo-!

"What did you do you protozoan!?" he cried, instantly pressing his ahnds against the bleeding spot.

"How did you get so badly injured?! What happened?!" Panicking a bit he tried to stop the bleeding with just it hands, but it only got more, and more and more.

"NO, no- we have to get you patched up, we have to-"

"Izaya-kun~" and suddenly his eyes widened- He knew that voice- he knew it..

That was-

Anxious his eyes darted around and he glanced over his shoulder.

Where?!

Where was she?!

But she was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly he flinched, something cool touched the palm of his hand.

His eyes widened and he looked at Shizuo´s wound.

There was something silver.

Something sharp.

And then it went to fast for the raven to comprehend.

Suddenly Shizuo´s chest got teared open from inside-

Blood dripped down, intestines fell to the floor and in the middle of it she was staring at him.

No…

Only slowly she tilted her head, cockroaches quickly crawling out of her empty sockets as she started to giggle.

No…

"Now you are alone~ I~za~ya~kun~" she grinned disgustingly, her long tongue dropping out of her mouth and before Izaya coud even react it had shot forward like a toads tongue and wrapped around his neck.

She killed.. she killed Shizuo…

"Delicious~"

No-

-Shizuo´s point of view-

"Izaya-!" Without even thinking another second, he reached inside the black shadows and grabbed the raven at the hem of his shirt.

The shadows retreated with a sort of hiss, and really, he pulled the raven out in one go-

Without even waiting a second the moment he got Izaya out of the shadows, he just grabbed the raven´s wrist once more, and dashed away.

The woman was glaring and screaming furious, following them instantly but Shizuo ran, he pulled the raven after, not even yelling at him to go faster-

He just ran, and ran, and ran.

They turned around various corners, ran for their life, the woman getting farther and farther away from them but then-

"FUCK-!" Shizuo couldn´t believe his eyes when he stopped dead track in the middle of an alley.

The alley.

Was a dead end.

Panicking slightly he turned around, only to face the grinning woman, standing there at the entrance of it.

Without even wasting a single second he instinctively pulled the raven close.

She wasn´t going to get him again-

She wasn´t going to dag him into those shadows-

Not as long as he was here.

And suddenly the woman stopped. A frown appeared on her face and she glared at the two.

"You got away tonight…" she hissed silent, and suddenly Shizuo noticed cockroaches, lots of cockroaches.

They were all crawling towards her and disappeared in her empty eye sockets.

"But tomorrow you won´t be as lucky." She ended, before suddenly disappearing into thin air.

Shizuo blinked, and hasty looked around. Almost expecting for the woman to turn up somewhere else, behind him or next to him, but no-

Was she gone?

He couldn´t believe it, night wasn´t anywhere near over-

But then he paused for a second in his thoughts- the night before, didn´t she suddenly disappear too? Way before the night was over?

Suddenly something akin to a smile flashed over his face.

"Izaya, she is go-" but the expression he saw on Izaya´s face made him halt midsentence.

He was crying.

Surprised Shizuo looked at the usually so cocky flea. He was crying.

No doubt.

Tears were starting to drop down his cheeks and he tried to hold back a hiccup.

"…Izaya…." Shizuo tried, but he didn´t know what to say at all.

He didn´t even know why the raven was crying in the first place.

He was just shaking, and he didn´t say anthing at all.

"Oi.. " tentatively he reached out his hands, softly rubbing Izaya´s upper arms in a comforting manner.

"It´s over. It´s over for tonight Izaya." He tried, hoping that maybe, it would at least make the raven stop shivering like a leaf, but the tears didn´t stop.

He didn´t say a word.

"Izaya…?" Shizuo tried once more, but the raven just stood there, basically sobbing, not getting a single word out.

"… hey.. you are safe…" and with those words he wrapped his arms around the flea and tugged him close, hugging him tight.

"It´s okay now." He tried soothing the raven with his words.

"… did that woman do anything to you..?" he asked quiet. He didn´t know what to do. The flea was completely unresponsive.

He wasn´t saying a single thing. He wasn´t even shoving him away.

Almost the opposite, he seemed to lean into his hug. What happened to the flea? What did that woman do to him while he was inside those shadows?

"…Izaya-"

"..I saw so many things.." Shizuo shut up instantly when he heard the raven speak.

Izaya swallowed audibly and Shizuo felt the flea hug him back tight.

"Dead corpses.. they were trying to eat me alive…" he started to whisper.

Dead corpses…?

And suddenly for some reason the image of Namie flashed through Shizuo´s mind. What did Izaya see inside there…?

"We will die Shizu-chan. We aren´t going to survive this Shizu-chan." Izaya suddenly sobbed, wet, hot tears soaking his shirt. Shizuo hugged him tighter.

"We?"

"She wants to kill you too-" Izaya hiccuped, the tears flowing relentlessly now.

"I saw it. she ripped out your guts- She-" shivers were rupturing through the raven´s body.

"Izaya, clam down, we are going to be okay." Shizuo tried, nuzzling into the raven´s shoulder, but Izaya shook his head.

"She murdered you Shizu-chan-" he suddenly whispered, almost too quiet for Shizuo to hear.

"That shouldn´t bother you too much now, should it?" he joked, trying to cheer the raven up a bit, but Izaya froze.

"No." he whispered.

"Eh?"

"I don't want you dead-" the grip on Shizuo´s shirt tightened.

"I don't even know why so don´t ask okay?" Izaya´s voice was shaking.

"Yesterday, yesterday I would have still freaking laughed when I had seen you dead okay?" the tears got more and more.

"But…" he faded out. Softly he tightened the hug on Shizuo.

"When I saw her kill you…" he mumbled.

"You were dead… I thought you were dead… I just…" he hiccupped, ad wiped furiously at his eyes.

Shizuo just stayed silent, he couldn´t believe what the raven was saying.

"I don't want you to die okay. So watch out that the demon doesn´t get you too." Izaya suddenly cried, looking straight at him.

Shizuo couldn´t believe what the flea was asking of him.

"…she won´t get me, I´m sure-" he tried to answer, to calm the flea somehow, but he got interrupted midsentence.

"No don´t be sure! She is going to rip you apart, okay!? It´s going to do the same things to you that she did to Namie, it-" he hiccupped, trying to stop the tears.

"Izaya calm down." Shizuo tried, but the raven didn´t even look at him. Instead he squeezed his eyes shut.

He could still remember it.

He didn´t even know why he was feeling that, but when that demon tore Shizuo apart in that … nightmare… or whatever she created with the shadows-

He just…

He just-

"NO! Shizuo! You aren´t listening!" he cried, hammering with his fists against Shizuo´s chest.

"She will kill you!" he yelled.

"Izaya, she won´t-"

"She will get you! I´m sure she will! She showed me! Tomorrow night she will get you if you aren´t careful!" he cried-

"Iza-"

"It will murder you Shizuo, it will-!"

And suddenly there was something on his mouth hindering to speak.

Izaya blinked and opened his eyes, tears dripping down his lashes. He didn´t realized he had closed them again.

Half heartedly Izaya pushed at the blond´s chest, surprised- the blond was kissing him.

"Shizu-" he tried to protest, but the moment he opened his mouth slightly Shizuo´s tongue found its way inside.

He squeezed his eyes shut at the strange sentation and used his own tongue to push against Shizuo´s, trying to push it out, but…

A gasp escaped his lips when they brushed alongside each other. And suddenly Shizuo tilted his head, deepening the kiss- Izaya´s eyebrows furrowed, but he continued moving his tongue alongside Shizuo´s.

It didn´t feel bad, it…

He felt kinda… hot-

But just as Izaya was about to return the kiss, Shizuo pulled away again. He let go of the flea.

"Sorry. Calmed down now?" he asked instead, hoping that maybe the flea had calmed down now.

Izaya just looked at the blond for a second.

.. he had just kissed him.

Again.

"Don´t look at me like that you were freaking out okay." Shizuo mumbled awkward. "I didn´t know what to do." He shrugged.

Kind of expecting to get something like a slap or a hit from the flea or at least yelled at, like he did in his apartment.

After all.. he did the same thing twice already-

But the raven didn´t say anthing at all. He just stood there, looking at him.

Izaya didn´t understand his feelings anymore…

He didn´t know what to do.

He didn´t know.

He didn´t know at all.

He didn´t want Shizuo to die.

Why did it make him so sad when he saw him die?

Why didn´t he laugh?

Why did he enjoy the kiss….?

"Izaya…?"
