Shizuo decided he wouldn't say a thing to Izaya. He was afraid that Izaya might turn him down with something like 'What? I would never kiss a protozoan brain such as yourself, Shizu-chan'. So he made his mind that it wasn't worth it. He had his kiss, which was what he had asked for since the beginning. He knew he should be grateful for that. Then why he had this heavy heart all day long?

The days went on and they were almost on summer vacation. The days were getting warmer and warmer. Nonetheless, Shizuo was a bit worried about the vacation; they had six weeks and he was kind of afraid of not seeing Izaya during this period. He would go crazy. It didn't take long to Kadota's face get completely healed. He went to school swollen at the beginning and everyone asked what happened, except for Shinra and Izaya. Shizuo felt weird about this; maybe it meant Izaya remembered how he kissed Kadota? It made Shizuo all jealous to think Izaya would remember of kissing Kadota and not him. But Kadota did a lot for him the past few weeks and since holidays were just around the corner, he decided to repay him.

He walked to class 3-A during break and quickly scanned the place with his eyes, searching for the main object of his plan. Yep, there she was. He walked in and on her direction, ignoring the whispers and glances from the other students. His walking came to a halt in front of her desk, in the front row. She looked up nervously. She had brown hair and eyes.

"Nadeshiko-san?"

"Y-yes?" He looked around and noted that every single being on that classroom was staring at them now.

"Can we talk? I mean... Somewhere else?" She blushed a bit but got up and followed him. Shizuo growled when the whispers got more frantic. Of course, he was sure that in a few hours, there would be rumors all around saying that Nadeshiko-san and Heiwajima-kun were dating, but he managed to don't stress much for Kadota. They walked to an empty corridor.

"Listen."

"Y-yes?" She was avoiding his eye contact and her insecurity was annoying but he couldn't growl at Kadota's crush.

"You know Kadota? From my class?"

"Y-yes!" God, this girl didn't have anything belse/b to say?

"Look… I'm doing him a favor. He's my friend and he did a lot for me. So… I want your telephone number, to give to him." The girl finally locked her eyes on his.

"K-Kadota-kun… He wants my telephone?" He nodded and she smiled a bit. Shizuo noticed that she was actually, a pretty girl. Not as pretty as Izaya, of course, but she had pretty traces. She wrote down her phone and Shizuo put the piece of paper on his back pocket.

"Yeah, that's it, thanks." He muttered while walking away satisfied with himself. Then he heard her voice behind him.

"I should be the one thanking you."

He smiled and later, he gave it to Kadota. At first, he was embarrassed that Shizuo had talked to her, but the blond saw how he smiled widely when got the number on his hands. He was pretty sure he was feeling the same he did when he first got Izaya's number. Everything was going smoothly… Until one day when Izaya didn't come to class.

At first, Shizuo thought Izaya was only skipping classes, nothing unusual for him. But when he didn't come to the second class, Shizuo started getting a little worried. He noted that his friends were acting normally and that was weird… Why he was the only one who thought that Izaya disappearance was odd? So during break, he managed to ask to both his friends about it.

"Izaya-kun?"

"He didn't tell you?" They looked surprised and this annoyed him to no end.

"Tell me what?"

Both of them looked troubled and glanced to each other. Shizuo was feeling not only nervous, but worst at each second that ticked by. Fuck. What was the thing Izaya didn't tell him? He felt almost betrayed by him.

"Shizuo-kun…" Shinra stared. "Izaya is moving."

"Moving?" He felt his heart stop. And then come back much faster than before. He looked at Kadota for confirmation.

"Yeah… His parents decided to move and they were doing it this morning, and Izaya is helping them out with the boxes and stuff."

"But… Moving?" Everything felt so wrong. Before Shinra could say anything, Kadota quickly added.

"Yeah… Out of Ikebukuro." That made his heart sink. Out of 'Bukuro? Shizuo felt empty while they walked back to class when break was over but Kadota and Shinra noticed how quiet and distracted Shizuo was. The English class started and they were reading a book out loud. Shizuo wasn't even pretending that he was paying attention to it. He was just staring at the window.

Kadota and Shinra exchanged looks, worried. The minutes slowly passed by until suddenly, Shizuo stood up. He looked just like he was enlightened by the truth. Everyone stared at him in silence and the teacher was the first one to dare.

"Heiwajima-kun?"

The blond glanced up at the teacher and muttered.

"Sorry." The teacher was about to turn around and keep going with class when Shizuo started to gather his things together and shove them into his bag.

"Heiwajima-kun!"

"Sorry, Sensei. I gotta go." Then he put his bag over his shoulder.

"Eh? Go? Don't even think it. Sit down, Heiwajima-kun."

He glanced up again and said. "No… I have something important to do." And then he simply ran out and never looked back. Even less at both his friends, who were with their mouths wide open with the situation.

But what he didn't know was that as soon as he got out of class and everyone was still stunned, Kadota and Shinra high-fived, grinning to one another.
