Shape Shifter Ch 12
"Hey Shinra… what do you think would Shizu-chan do if I do end up being pregnant… with… with… something…" Izaya mumbles, not looking the doctor in the eye and still lying in the sofa sideways. "He'd still love you no matter what!" Shinra bluntly comforts his friend; he'd have to be careful of what to say. After Celty left, Shinra ended up feeling obliged to comfort and reassure Izaya that everything was going to be fine regardless of whatever outcome was revealed. On the other side of the room was Namie throwing a hell lot of questions at the Shape Shifter, still fully restrained by Celty's shadows despite her disappearance.
"So you're saying that you Shape Shifters actually split up to be able to breed with humans around the world? You're also suggesting that your kind is near extinction and you have some clan that's hunting for your kind… how absurd…" Namie declares after the interrogation. "Well, I was the one that suggested it…" the creature announces, expression unfazed by the woman's glare. "You're really just some wacko who's after torturing humans aren't you?" she concludes. "It may seem like it, but I don't see anything wrong with saving ones race, there's too many humans roaming around anyway!" it argues.
"Just go extinct already…" Izaya continues to mumble, absent-mindedly placing his hands on his stomach. It's just a stomachache; it is just a stomachache… I haven't eaten a lot yet… it's nothing… there's nothing there… absolutely nothing… who knows this might be some psychologically induced pain cause of thinking to much… the informant forces to think. His eyebrows furrowed as he asks Shinra one more question. "What do you think will Shizu-chan do if I do end up being pregnant with that thing…?" for the tenth time. "Izaya… you're thinking that Shizuo who actually faced a dullahan AND chased your soul in the 'in between' just to get you back would leave you for something like this?" Shinra finally states, not wanting to recall the incident but it seemed to be the perfect example to calm the informant.
"This is different… this also means… I let myself be touched by something other than Shizu-chan…" the raven shrugs his friend's example. "It was by force!" Namie yells, getting annoyed by her boss's behavior. "You should actually be more worried for this 'near extinct' creature rather than yourself ones that lover of yours finds out!"
"Just let him die…" Izaya's eyes turn sullen, completely uncaring of whatever was to happen to the creature, unlike earlier. "Who was the one who said… to treasure unnatural creatures" Namie scoffs, giving up. "Hey…" She turns to face the shape shifter ones again for more questions, noticing that it has started to stare at her boss once again. "…You, why didn't you kill Izaya from the start?" she asks, getting its attention back, as well as Shinra and Izaya's.
"Cause… I find him amusing… he's different from other humans… from my observation at least, I'd honestly like to make him my official mate, even if he isn't pregnant now, I'll make it that he will bear my child!" the creature declares, receiving three pairs of glares. "Like hell I'd agree to do that!" Izaya yells, sitting up and slamming his palm on the coffee table. "I don't understand why you're opposed to it, I could easily change into your… err… lover's form anytime… no matter how ugly he is-" the creature gets another side kick from Namie, possibly double the strength compared to the other one earlier. "It's not about that at all…" Izaya shakes, his voice a bit cracked.
"What do I do? What if… Shizu-chan actually leaves me…" the raven starts, liquid forming in his rusty eyes. "Wait! I'm telling you it's completely impossible for Shizuo to do that! You know him more that me, don't you?" Shinra tries to stop the tears, Namie helplessly sighs, rubbing her forehead like she had a headache. "But… what if he changed… he has been weird lately too…" Izaya remembers the recent conversation about going overseas. "And he has been coming home late a lot… maybe he's been… doing stuff…" Izaya turns to meet Shinra in the eyes, when did the guy who constantly got punched by his own lover become Izaya's relationship consultant, no one knows. "Come on Izaya, your reaction to this is really pathetic, honestly speaking…" his friend continues.
Izaya sighs, it was true, and no confirmation has been made yet it wasn't the right time to be paranoid, like someone with his pride would accept him acting like that. "Shinra, promise me one thing…" the informant turns to his friend, biting his bottom lip in the process, he pauses to make sure of what to say and continues, "if it comes out positive, will you… let me leave, not letting Shizu-chan know where I'll be going"
"What? What are you saying all of sudden?" the doctor stands up, looking at Izaya from above, he starts to scold. "Like I'll actually let you do something so selfish, Izaya, Shizuo will not leave you no matter what! And if it does turn positive Namie and I will figure out a way to extract it from you without any side effects, if needed we can even ask that crazy scientist fan of yours, you can't just think about leaving!"
"I know that, I know you and the others will definitely help me, I know it's selfish, but I also know how much Shizu-chan might get hurt when he finds out, face it, if I stay here and have you operate on me, he'll know, either you tell him or he figures it out on his own, I don't know… no matter what I don't want him to find out…" Izaya's gaze drop, the others in the room stay silent. "…It's just, if I do end up bearing a child with that thing… Shizu-chan… he'll still accept me… and probably 'it' as well, he wouldn't want to have you kill 'it' since it's a part of me… he'd be too scared to try, unsure of any side effects, he's hated you for trying to constantly experiment me, you know…"
"…And I don't want him to take the burden of having to take care of 'this'" the raven finishes.
"Well, that's some sappy shit... though it's true" stern words made all eyes in the room widen, one pair turning to glare, murderously. "Shizuo, this is a serious matter!" the dullahan behind him scolds, closing the entrance door in the process.
Shizuo was in the room, very fuming atmosphere surrounding him, and by the looks of it, Celty had told him everything. "I'm sorry to hear you didn't want him to know, but I'm afraid it's to late Izaya" Celty confirms, she HAS told Shizuo everything. Purple glasses gets taken off of its owner and gently placed on an end table instead of his pocket. He didn't want it to get accidentally damaged. "You… I'll deal with you later…" Shizuo walks pass the shape shifter, the creature's posture unfazed; he didn't want to look scared just because he came. The blond leads himself to where his lover was, expression turning sullen after the death glare he gave the shape shifter. He had those loving eyes on again, the ones he'd always look with at Izaya. "Shizu… I… what you heard just now…" Izaya tries to reason, stopping Shizuo's walk towards him mid-way. "What about what you just said?" The taller male asks, voice emotionless.
"I think… it…" Izaya nips at his bottom lip, slightly reddening more than it usually is, "it's… for the best…"
Shizuo makes a heavy sigh, scratching the back of his head, he walks more fast paced towards Izaya, making him flinch a little and try to step back. The taller of the two grabs Izaya by the arm, turns to meet Shinra in the eyes and says "Sorry, I know we planned it out really carefully, but I guess I can just use your veranda, better view than the bedroom anyway." "Sure… take all the time you need… good luck too, or should I say congratulations already?" The partner in crime teases.
"What? What are you-" Izaya tries to ask, all but Shizuo, Shinra and Celty had confused faces as Shizuo pulls Izaya by the arm toward the veranda, followed by Shinra. "Close the curtains…" The blond orders, pushing Izaya out to the open air and letting himself out with him, quickly sliding the glass door close, the both of them disappear behind the doctor's curtain. "What was that?" Namie questions, feeling left out of something important that was currently going on. "Come, come… hehe" Shinra, sneakily walks, putting both hands around his face, ready to whisper, while a pleasant smile appearing on the dullahan's face.
