I don't own durarara.
Warning: future yaoi and swearing.
Alternating povs.
Shizuo felt irritated.
He wasn't allowed to leave until they found the flea, since apparently they couldn't find him. He was sure that the flea was just playing around with them.
Shizuo felt fine and he was sure the flea did too, he was probably just messing with someone at the moment, maybe even purposely scaring them. He wouldn't put it past him.
"Shizuo, you can go now. It seems Celty finally found Izaya near his apartment after he tested her," the underground doctor said.
"Told you the flea was fine," he told Shinra as he walked to the door to leave.
"He was gone for two hours, I really think you should be more careful Shizuo. I know Izaya and I have a feeling he's hiding something from us," Shinra said, seriously looking concerned.
Shizuo contemplated what the brunette had just said, but eventually just threw it aside. The flea was fine and he should know, Izaya told him the connection was trying to bring them to an equal equilibrium.
So whether it was physical or emotional feeling, both should be feeling it. So he really didn't understand the concern.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll be going now, bye Shinra," he said, opening the door and leaving before he could hear the disappointed sigh Shinra let out.
Even though he hated being at Shinra's place, the moment he remembered that back at home Izaya would be there, he dreaded the thought of making it back home. He walked slower, but even so he felt like he had made it to his apartment too quickly.
He let out an annoyed grunt when he opened the door, knowing that he didn't leave the lamp on, this meant the flea was home.
Walking further into the apartment and not seeing Izaya anywhere, he was about to let out a complaint, when light snoring hit his ears.
On his couch he saw the flea curled up asleep and looking innocent for once. No traces of a cocky expression or the usual I am better than you aura. Just a relaxed looking face, that Shizuo grudgingly admitted looked attractive, and in a childish position as he slept without a care in the world.
Maybe it was because of the bond, but just looking at the peacefulness of the other, caused Shizuo to suddenly feel exhausted.
He admitted that if Izaya always looked like this then he would not mind living with him or even being around him, the problem was when the flea opened his big flap he called a mouth. Still he knew he should enjoy this peacefulness while it lasted.
Shizuo went to his room, grabbing a blanket, and went back to cover the sleeping brunette. He knew that if he didn't then the next morning he would hear him whine about letting him freeze to death, that he was sure of.
Going back to his room, exhaustion got the better of him. He barely had the strength to change into his sleeping wear and brush his teeth. By the time his head hit the pillow, he knocked out.
The next morning, Shizuo was woken up by the smell of food and his stomach rumbling to gain his attention. Getting up and walking to his kitchen, he grunted in displeasure when he was met with the lovely presence of the flea and the annoying otaku girl.
"Good Morning!" the girl said, as she passed Izaya his breakfast and looked at him cheerfully.
Shizuo just gave a grunt and sat across the brunette.
The moment he sat down he could feel the gaze of the other on him and felt uncomfortable. Luckily for him Erika gave him his breakfast and he concentrated on eating instead of paying attention to either of them.
He was glad when Erika began to talk to the flea, distracting him and gaining his attention, cause he was really starting to feel weird at the gaze.
I know Izaya and I have a feeling he's hiding something from us
Shizuo stopped eating, remembering what Shinra had said last night and wondering if perhaps the other was right. Looking up from his meal, Shizuo stared at the brunette that was unusually quiet, but didn't find anything different.
Other then his quietness, Izaya was the same as always. He still held that arrogant air to him and when those eyes met his he still saw that annoying mischievous that made him want to hit him.
Especially when the brunette turned to him with that infuriating smirk.
"Shizu-chan~ So I heard that your brutish ways surfaced yesterday. What happened?" the flea asked while munching on his toast.
"What's it to you, flea?" he angrily.
"Always the grumpy pants aren't you Shizu-chan? Just to know, maybe next time I can get a text before you do something dumb... Actually let me rephrase that, every time you get into a fight."
That caught Shizuo attention.
"Why would you need to know? It's not like it did anything to effect you, right?" Shizuo asked, staring intently at the other.
Izaya chuckled, before he answered.
"And if it did?"
Shizuo stared at the other shocked, but the way the other was smirking as if he was enjoying his reaction made him think the brunette was lying just to mess with him.
"Then I would have felt it too so I don't fucking believe you," he said, getting up once he finished his last bite of food.
"When do you ever believe me Shizu-chan? ...But your right, I was just asking to mess with you. Your getting smarter~," the brunette joked, laughing that crazy laugh of his before doing the same as him and got up asking Erika something Shizuo did not pay attention to.
The way he had said the first part had him confused, it sounded... sad?
But why would Izaya care?
Of course he didn't believe in anything he said, Izaya always lied and did everything to mess with people, and especially with him. So it was only logical to not believe the lying flea. Shizuo decided to stop thinking of what Izaya was getting at, chances were this was just to mess with him.
He really wished the year would go faster so they could prove Celty wrong, and show her that this getting along plan just wouldn't work.
They were just too different and at odds with each other.
Shizuo just really didn't know how much longer he could take of this.
After he texted Celty, she had insisted on seeing him, saying that he might be lying to her.
Well Izaya had to say that the headless rider sure was smarter than he gave credit for, but she still underestimated his acting skills. Sure he still felt a bit of pain while walking, but he was able to walk to his apartment without even showing a grimace, so when Celty showed up he was glad he was able to fool her into believing him.
'Izaya are you sure you're not telling me something?'
"I'm really fine Celty, I was just really concentrated with what information my client was giving me, but I do apologize for not telling you that the location had changed," he said. She stayed still, probably trying to read him, but he just smiled and waited for her response.
'Do you need a ride to Shizuo place?' she asked, surprising him a bit since he thought she was going to keep interrogate him.
"Sure," he answered, really needing the ride since he felt tired.
Making it to Shizuo apartment, Izaya was glad that the blond wasn't there. If he looked as he felt, by the time he made it into the apartment, he was sure Shizuo would figure out something was wrong.
He really didn't know if he wanted to tell Shizuo about what happened. Izaya was sure the blond idiot had no clue of the pain he caused him, but if he told Shizuo the blond might tell Celty.
Shizuo was just to honest.
Izaya didn't feel like thinking any longer so he quickly laid on the blonds couch and the moment his head hit the cushion, he feel asleep.
The next morning he awoke to a knock on the door and as he arose he noticed the blanket that he knew he never got.
Well isn't Shizu-chan sweet.
He smiled a bit before the knock on the door interrupted and Izaya got up before the noise woke up a very angry blond. Izaya was feeling a bit sore, so he didn't want Shizuo to get angry and cause him pain if he started throwing things.
Opening the door he was not surprised to see Erika on the other side with a big smile on her face.
"Oh I'm sorry did I interrupt something. I mean when I came yesterday, both of you had been awake and dressed and well now-"
"No you didn't interrupt anything. I slept on the couch," he quickly interrupted before her imagination went too wild, and even showed her the blanket on the couch. Her smile turned into a frown as her dream was shot down.
"Oh well if you want I can make you guys some breakfast. I haven't eaten and I'm starving," she said, not even waiting for his answer before she was in the apartment and in the kitchen looking inside the fridge.
Izaya didn't care though, it wasn't his apartment anyway and as long as the girl didn't make too much noise, he didn't see anything wrong with it. Especially since he was hungry and he didn't know how to cook.
That was why he had Namie for, even if her cooking wasn't exactly the best, but it was better than his.
He sat on the kitchen table, ignoring Erika's constant talking, and thought about what he should do.
What had happen the night before could have just been a mistake. Maybe the bond wasn't as strong as he thought it was, since it allowed him and Shizuo to be apart, but probably couldn't handle the beasts strength.
Or more like his "soul" couldn't handle what Shizuo's "soul" has grown to handle.
"Good Morning!" he heard Erika say and the blond grunted in response, walking to the kitchen table and sitting across from him. He watched the blond, trying to see anything that would indicate that Shizuo also experienced pain.
Other then the bandages around his arms, the blond looked perfectly fine and at ease.
Erika caught his attention as she sat down and began to talk to him. He listened to half of what she said, enough that he could answer her if she asked him something, but mostly tried to think about the night before.
His attention was swayed when he felt the gaze of Shizuo on him.
Izaya turned, smirking at catching the blond watching him. He decided to ask Shizuo what triggered him to fight the day before.
Of course the blond just answered him in a grumpy matter and while teasing he slightly gave the hint that he had been affected by his actions.
He wanted to see if maybe Shizuo knew about it, if maybe the bond told him something.
Shizuo didn't know anything though.
Still the blond suspected something.
"Why would you need to know? It's not like it did anything to effect you, right?" the blond said surprising him a bit.
"And if it did?" he answered, smirking at the shock expression that soon turned sour.
"Then I would have felt it too so I don't fucking believe you," the blond said, slightly hurting him with those word.
"When do you ever believe me Shizu-chan?" he accidentally aloud, it wasn't something he had plan to say. Besides he knew why the never believed him, even though he actually rarely lied. He just liked to play with his words and not give the whole information, but he understood the mistrust that Shizuo had for him and couldn't really blame him.
"But your right, I was just asking to mess with you. Your getting smarter~," he joked and laughed, as a way to stop this conversation all together. It wasn't getting him anywhere anyway.
Getting up he asked Erika when she was going to leave. The girl pouted, but told him as soon as they left for work.
Izaya just hoped that the accident that happened yesterday didn't occur again.
