A/N: Thank you for the great reviews~ It really means a lot to me :D

-

The pain in my arm was slowly coming back to me. Part of me wanted to make a fuss and storm out of the room, while the other part said to say something to Shizuo. I frowned, trying to take my mind off of the pain. Slowly I stood up and walked out of the room.

"Flea?! Where are you going?"

Shizuo called to me, but I just kept walking. I don't need anyone but myself to take care of me. I rummaged through a drawer with various medicines and soon found some burncream. I rubbed some into my arm, wincing at the pain of physical contact. I waited a few moments for it to kick in, and immediately felt better.

"Did anyone ever teach you not to snoop around in a house that's not your own?"

I looked over to see Shizuo standing in the doorway with an annoyed look on his face.

"Ah, but I was only looking to treat the horrible burns on my arm."

"That doesn't change the fact that this isn't your house!"

I smirked. "Anyone that is half competent in the medical field would know how to treat a burn. Knowing you, you would of never thought of burn cream. I mean, god forbid you put burn cream on a burn."

"Fucking.. Dammit! Can't you ever be grateful for things people do for you?! At least I tried to take your pain away! I'll remember that next time!"

"Yeah, with painfully cold ice and meaningless kisses."

"If it was really that bad, why did you kiss me? Now come on, I wanna show you around the area."

"Speaking of which, why Pennsylvania?" I decided to drop the argument for now.

"Idiots like you. I tried New York, but there were too many bastards. The cops didn't know me there. I could of been arrested."

"You really classify me with the normal people? Nice. I'm glad you weren't arrested.. I guess."

"Hm? Since when did you want me out of trouble?"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have anywhere to stay~!"

"I wouldn't expect any less coming from you. Now, go change your clothes, my offer to show you around still stands."

I walked past him and out of the room. From my suitcase I pulled out a t-shirt and some pants. I stepped into the bathroom and locked the door. I was about to step out when a cruel plan came to my head. I leaned up against the door and closed my eyes. Only a matter of time before he would come looking for me.

"Flea?"

I opened my eyes and suppressed a laugh.

"..Izaya? You in there?"

"Izaya..?

"Don't fucking play with me now."

"Izaya! Open this door!"

"fuck.."

I heard the door unlock. I closed my eyes.

"Izaya! Stop pushing the door!"

I felt the door slide open. He must really be pushing it hard. Since when did he care?

"Izaya? What the hell..? Did you pass out? Izaya?"

The protozoan sat down next to me.

"Izaya?! Answer me! Oh my god.."

He picked me up and started carrying me to his living room. He carefully set me down on the couch and sat next to me.

"Izaya?"

I smirked. "Yes, Shizu-chan?"

"WHAT IS YOUR DAMN POINT?! YOU HAD ME WORRIED SICK!"

"I think you care a bit too much."

"YOU COULD TOO IF YOU THOUGHT SOMEBODY HAD DECIDED TO KILL THEMSELVES IN YOUR HOUSE!"

"Meh, maybe. But still, that was priceless!" I laughed. You were so scared!

"You really think that that little stunt you pulled was funny?!"

"It was quite entertaining if you ask me." I closed my eyes and leaned back into the couch.

"You don't have to play some sick act to get attention from me."

"Don't flatter yourself. I don't need attention from you." The nerve of some people.

"It's okay to say it. Nobody in their right mind would go through all that trouble without a reason."

"Maybe I just wanted to mess with you."

"Flea, just shut up. Now, really. Let me show you around."

"Can we go to New York~?" I asked, trying to annoy him.

"Sure you want to spend three hours in a car with me?"

"Whatever." He's really going to take me? What the hell?

"Be happy I'm still willing to do this. Come with me."

I followed him to his car, stopping in front of it. He got in the driver's side, but I stood still.

"What's your problem?"

I smiled. "I wanna sit on your lap~"

"Are you fucking kidding me? That's Illegal!"

"Too bad, Shizu-chan."

I slid onto his lap and closed the door.

"I'm not moving~!"

"Nether is this car. Dammit flea."

"Well fine then. I guess I'll just sit here."

"Get your bony ass off my leg."

"I suppose you'd rather I sit on something else, hm?"

He opened the door and shoved me out. I hit the ground with a thud, still smirking.

"Heyy! Always so rough, Shizu-chan."

"Stop making those damn comments! It's disgusting!"

"It's not my fault you took them that way."

"Either get in the passenger seat, or we go back inside."

"Ah, but I'd much rather sit on your lap." I got up and attempted to get back in.

"Why do you need to sit on my lap?"

"So I can annoy you." I planted myself firmly on his lap again.

"This trip was your idea. If you really want to go, then get in the passenger side."

"Ugh, why can't I just sit on your lap?" I leaned back into his chest.

"It's dangerous. You don't want to die, right?"

"Yeah, I guess.." I reluctantly got out of the car and walked to the passenger side. I made a show of getting in, crossing my arms and looking out the other window.

"Dammit flea, you don't have to be an ass about it."

"Hmph." I really had expected him to give in eventually.

"Do you want to go to New York or not? It's getting kinda late."

"Yes I want to go. And 11 AM isn't that late."

"It takes 3 hours to get there. It'll be 2 PM by the time we're there."

"Just go."
