Note: Delic has two thoughts. The current chapter is the past thoughts, of course. But if he says Izaya-kun, then that's his present thoughts. Get it? :D

"I like you too. However, you're not my type. Now, get lost!" the male smiled as he raised up his hand, pointing at the girl.

"Y-you're cruel….!" Said girl ran, crying into the distance.

"Eh… Wasn't that just too insanely mean, Izaya?" I came out of the shades, sighing at the raven haired male.

"What are you talking about, Delic-kun? I love all humans equally, so I can't give special treatments towards her only, right?" He shook his head, smiling playfully. "Although if you think about it, humans truly are interesting, ne?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"They have high expectations towards things, that's why they confront it. And yet, the results of reality emerge before their very eyes, crushing their dreams. They shed tears, weep at what they had hope for doesn't actually come true. Pretty amusing, don't you think?"

"….You know, you're weird." I frowned, titling my head looking at the lithe male. "You claim to love humans, yet you sound like you hate them… I don't get that about you…"

"Well, I do love them, Delic-kun. Just like how you are a human, that makes you interesting~" he chimed, circling around me.

"Let's… just stop talking about this. It's hurting my brain trying to understand you…" I literally splat my hand over my face.

Just when he was about to respond, the school bell rang, indicating that recess was over.

"That girl took over my whole break just so she could confess… Now I'm hungry, Delic…"

"…..Yeah, I don't care. I'm going back to class before I get into trouble. Later."

"Ahhhh~ What a mean person~" he whined as I walked away. "But whatever, meet me after school. There's something I want to ask you, okay? Bye Bye Biii~"

"Since when did you become buddy-buddy with Orihara-kun?" a bespectacle male turned around, facing me.

"…Since when did you learn such an annoying way of speaking, Shinra?" I pointed, resting my chin on the table. "But why'd you ask?"

"Oh nothing. It's just that it's weird seeing you around with a person like Orihara-kun…"

"….Sounds like you know Izaya really well. Care to tell me about that?"

"There's nothing to tell. He's already famous for what he is… Actually, infamous is the right word."

"What do you mean?" I lifted my head, staring at the brunet.

"Every population of this school knows about him, Delic-kun. He's notorious for his intellectual as one of the top students while at the same time, posing a lot of troubles in and out of school ground." The male raised his arms upwards, talking cheerfully. "Orihara-kun also has a lot of female fans, that it's almost like a cult!"

Now that he mentioned it, I noticed Izaya often gets a lot of confessions. Almost the same amount as me. Well, I'm not surprised though. He has quite an attractive face and he's very friendly too, despite his awful demeanor just now.

"Heh~ So he's that popular, huh? Why haven't I know about this?" I stared out the window, crossing my arms behind my back.

"Because you're not exactly the type to be aware of your surroundings, Delic-kun…"

"That's just mean, Shinra…" I sneered, while the brunet giggled at my reply.

Although, I can't deny what Shinra said. I don't care what happens to people, much less getting involve with them. I don't find the joy to interacting with them, because I find them to be boring. In fact, humans are a dull existence, in my opinion. Even sometimes I think myself as a boring person.

That's why, I don't get the male named Orihara Izaya. He and I are different. While I have the least interest in humans, he is the complete opposite. Maybe that's the reason why I am still friends with him. He makes the less sense out of anyone, but that what makes him somehow interesting. He is not normal, so out of control, so lunatic, and so very oddly intriguing.

"But here's a little tip for you about that guy, Delic-kun." The brunet suddenly got close towards me, pointing out his finger. "Getting too attach to him might not be such a bright idea…"

"…Please, Shinra. I won't, trust me." I snorted while smacking away the bespectacle male's face. "Plus, what's the worst that could happen?"

"I'm just saying~ Someday you'll probably regret it…"

"In just a couple of weeks, school's gonna be over and we'll have to move up to high school next. What a pain, ne~?" the raven sighed as he skipped beside me.

"Yeah. I just wish we could all be in the same school again right, Delic-kun?"

"I just want middle school to end…" I replied before I flipped my head to by left side, "…and why are you here, Shinra?"

"Aw come on! It's been a while since I've hang out with Orihara-kun. It's just walking home together!" the brunet whined annoyingly.

"Hahaha. Shinra loves me so much that he doesn't want to be separated from me. I'm touched~" Izaya playfully said while humming. "Anyway, there's something I've been wanting to ask you, Delic-kun."

"Oh yeah. You've mentioned that during the break. What's up?" I perked up my eyebrows looking at the raven.

"Is it true that you have a twin brother?"

Thump.

I stopped walking instantly. "Huh? Where did you hear that fro-"

"Oh! I did, I did! I was the told who told Orihara-kun. It's pretty amazing, isn't it? A twin is really a rare occurrence to happen and I thin- Mmnnpphh!"

"Shinra." I paused, clasping the brunet's mouth tightly. "Why the hell would you blabber something like that without my consent?"

The only replies I get was incoherent words coming from said male.

"So it's true! Wow~ This is interesting! Where is he or she then?" the raven excitedly swung around his body looking at the surroundings, ignoring Shinra's plea for help.

"If you wanna know, due to some unfortunate circumstances, he's not here nor does he attend our school." I just sighed, forcibly let go of the brunet.

At the time, my mom decided to make us to go a separate school because she was worried about my safety when I was caught up in one of Shizuo-nii's many fights, since we have the same face. Albeit, there's one other reason why I couldn't tell Izaya-kun about him…

"Tch. Well, that's just too bad. Although, I wonder if he's as interesting as you, huh?" the lithe male continued walking, leaving me and Shinra behind.

Thump.

"Hey, Delic-kun…" Shinra looked at the raven before glancing at me. "Why won't you tell him the truth? That Shizuo-kun is-"

"You do know what would happen if I did right? I don't want to be abandoned by people anymore. Please understand that, Shinra…"

"…But someday, Orihara-kun might have to found out about him too, you know…"

"Well, when that time comes, I just have to accept it…"

"Hey, slowpokes! Why does it take you guys so long to keep up with me, huh?" The raven abruptly shouted, jolting both of us.

"Heh. Good luck, Delic-kun." he patted my shoulder before running after the raven. "Wait up, Orihara-kun! You're the one who's too fast!"

At the point, I didn't want to introduce Shizuo-nii to Izaya-kun. I was afraid that he would run away from me like everyone else did. I didn't want to see the face of fear plastered on his face witnessing Shizuo-nii's monstrous strength. I didn't want to lose Izaya-kun, I didn't want him to disappear from my life.

That's what my fifteen years old self thought.

After I graduated from middle school, I still kept in touch with Izaya-kun, whether through the phone or meeting up front. Since we were going to enter Raijin along with Shinra, I was uncharacteristically excited. Although, a part of me was still not that ready to expose Shizuo-nii towards Izaya-kun. My instinct at the time told me that it was a bad idea to introduce them. But I thought it was fine. I thought, so long as Shizuo-nii doesn't display his inhuman strength, everything will be alright.

Now that I remembered, I was really naive about the whole situation and how little did I know about Izaya-kun. Although at the time, I didn't realised that my feelings had developed from that point on. It took me to the first day my feet touches the Raijin High School hallway that I finally noticed my emotion towards the lithe male.

It was honestly the worst feeling I've ever felt.

Next chapter is the last time travelling. Weee~
