Shizuo stared at Izaya with wide eyes for a little. He had absolutely nothing to be sorry about and Shizuo knew that too. So then why was Izaya apologizing to him? Shizuo walked back over to the side of the bed and looked down at Izaya. He hated seeing Izaya so sad, it was just so different from the way he usually was.
Shizuo pried Izaya's hand off of his shirt and wiped Izaya's tears with his hands gently, trying not to hurt Izaya further. He looked down at Izaya and helped him sit up nicely, so he was comfortable and helped him take off his breathing mask as well.
"You have nothing to be sorry about." Shizuo said and gasped when Izaya quickly hugged him.
Shizuo leaned down and hugged Izaya back gently. He could hear Izaya's small sobs and could feel his tears soaking his shirt. Shizuo felt chest tighten up at the sounds, it made him hurt. Why couldn't have he been the one to get hurt instead of Izaya? Shizuo could have fought his way out of something like that, but Izaya couldn't have.
Ever since the day he walked Izaya home from the hospital that Wednesday evening and heard his father yell at him he knew something was off. It was so weird to see how exactly Izaya lived, especially when he didn't live a good life, 'cause of his parents.
"I-I-I'm s-scared…" Izaya whispered and chocked on his sobs.
"I know, and I wont let anybody hurt you." Shizuo replied in a calm, loving voice not even he knew he could pull off.
Shizuo and Izaya continued to hug each other. They were in complete silence, and were just hugging each other. Both were so caught up in hugging each other that they didn't even hear Shinra and Kadota come into the room.
Both the boy's froze in the door-way and watched Shizuo hug the crying, crippled Izaya. They were surprised Izaya had woken up already since it had only been like two weeks and a half since they found him, but they were happy about it. But about the part where they were hugging…Even if they both liked each other, it was still weird.
Not knowing what exactly to do, Kadota quickly knocked on the door loudly and cleared his throat. That seemed to do the trick because right when they heard it, both Shizuo and Izaya let go of each other and sat back down. The two at the door however, chuckled at Shizuo and Izaya because they were both flustered now.
Shinra walked over to the side of the bed with a smile on his face and looked down at Izaya. "How are you feeling? Better I assume." Shinra said in his normal cheery voice.
Izaya nodded. He didn't exactly want to talk about what happened but he knew he was going to have to.
Shinra continued to smile. "Does the doctor know you're awake?"
This time, Shizuo was the one who spoke up. "No Shinra, the doctor does not know he is awake." Shizuo said between clenched teeth.
This made Izaya and the other two chuckle a little. Shizuo always over reacted, but this particular moment it was funny. It probably took all of his power to not punch Shinra in the face for that very stupid question. Though it was Shinra and he always asked pretty stupid questions, so it was no different then usual. Still smiling, Shinra left the hospital room to go tell the doctor that Izaya was awake.
