Getting it back

Izaya was pissed. Yes he still had feelings for Shizu-chan, yes he was jealous of Celty and yes he was going to do everything to get his blond back. He remembered at the last minute to softly close the door instead of slamming it. It was getting late and everyone would be asleep.

"Someone's stressed." Izaya sighed looking at the still awake Shinra. "Didn't you go on a walk to calm down?" Throwing his coat on the sofa, he faced the doctor. "I found Shizu-chan and Celty. Celty has her head and has lost her memories." He turned towards one of the bedrooms. "See you in the morning." He ignored Shinra calling after him, settling down for another restless sleep.

Shinra was already up when Izaya stepped out of the room, or he didn't sleep. "What did you mean last night?" Izaya sat next to him. "Celty doesn't remember anything, like you guessed." Shinra let his head drop. "My beloved, doesn't remember me." After all they had been through, she didn't remember him. "Where is she?"

Izaya led him to where Shizuo and Celty were staying. Like last night, he knocked on the door and waited for an answer. The door opened making Izaya hold back from drooling. Shizuo was wearing jeans and a long shirt. "I should have known." The blond went back inside, leaving the door open. Izaya stayed where he was, eyes drawn to the blond's ass.

Shinra closed the door behind him, being the last one in. Shizuo was sitting on the sofa, not looking at either of them "What do you two want?" Izaya sighed, the blond was going to make this as difficult as possible. "Why are you here? Shizuo." Shizuo looked over at doctor. "We came here for Celty's sake. She's my friend." He froze as Izaya took a seat next to him.

"Shizuo, Can you do my hair again?" Shinra blinked as his beloved rushed into the room in a light blue dress, her hair wrapped in a towel and a hair dryer in her hand. She froze as she saw two other men in the room. The one in the white coat made her feel uncomfortable, but the one on the sofa she recognized. "You." She wouldn't let him hurt her friend.

"Celty it's okay, I let them in." He held his arms out, waiting for her to come to him. "If they make you feel uncomfortable, I'll kick them out." Celty nodded smiling as she moved past the man in the black coat, she sat on the floor in between the blond's legs. "Celty, this is Izaya and Shinra." Red eyes met her own, this man was dangerous, her hand unconsciously grabbed the blond's.

The action didn't go unnoticed by either Shinra or Izaya. "Nice to meet you Celty-chan." Shinra glared at Izaya. "Don't give her any nicknames." He wanted nothing more than to pick the dullahan up and run away with her. Instead he grit his teeth, watching as Shizuo plugged the hair dryer in, running his fingers through his beloved Celty's hair.

Izaya wasn't much happier, he couldn't believe that the blond could mess him up this much, how jealous he was. Shizuo switched off the hair dryer placing on the table. "All done." Celty stood to hug him. "Thank you, Shizuo." The Dullahan had no choice but to sit next to Izaya, since he wasn't moving away from her friend. "Why are they here?"

Shizuo thought about what he should say, he didn't want to upset her. "Izaya is... a friend of mine." Izaya raised an eyebrow, at least Shizuo admitted he didn't hate him. "Shinra is a doctor, he's going to try and get your memory back." Celty jumped up in panic, climbing into Shizuo's lap. "No, I don't want to."

"Celty." The Dullahan started shaking. "Shizuo, I don't want to remember. I'm scared." Scared of the monster she probably was and would be when her memory came back. The only people she knew were sitting in the room with her, with the exception of that girl and Kasuka. Shizuo's large hand stroked the back of her head. "It's okay Celty, If you don't want to remember its fine."

Shinra jumped up from his seat. "Shizuo! What do you think you're doing? Stay away from Celty." Izaya noticed how Shinra held back from declaring his love for the Dullahan. He watched as Shinra got close to the blond, looking angry. Within seconds he was hitting the wall, the other side of the room.

Shinra stared in shock at his beloved, holding a scythe in her hands. Never had she looked so beautiful. Shizuo growled as familiar clapping filled the room. Only Izaya would antagonize the monsters. Celty blinked looking down at the shadow in her hand. She had done it again. "Stop that, flea."

Izaya turned his gaze to the blond. "Back to nicknames Shizu-chan? I thought we were past them." Shizuo glared at him, trying to turn his attention back to Celty. Izaya grabbed his chin, forcing him to face him. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Izaya watched from the corner of his eye, as Celty's scythe vanished and she ran to the man leaning against the wall.

"We should leave them to it." Shizuo reluctantly left the room with Izaya, leaving his best friend alone with the doctor who loved and had hurt her. "If he hurts her..." Izaya shook his head, slightly annoyed Shizuo was still focused on the fairy. "Shinra won't do anything." Izaya led them into the bedroom, letting Shizuo sit on the bed.

"Are you okay?" Celty ran to the man without care. "I'm fine. You're beautiful." She felt her face heat up at his words. "T-Thank you." She reached down helping him up. Shinra was different to Shizuo, he was looking at her with a goofy smile, she could see his expression clearly through his specs. "I'm happy you finally found it."

She looked down at him. "Found what?" Shinra smiled. "Yourself." Gently he let his fingertips touch her face, knowing this was what his beloved truly wanted, even if it was at the cost of his memory. "Shinra-san, you're strange." The doctor shook his head not liking how formal she was being. "Call me Shinra."

"I don't get why you're still here, what are you up to, flea?." Izaya stood blocking the door, while Shizuo stayed on the edge of the bed. "You don't know Shizu-chan?" The blond glared at him. "Why don't you tell me why you ran away? coming to an overcrowded place you don't even like."

Shizuo sighed. "We've been through this already. It was for -" Izaya interrupted. "You've said, it's all for Celty." The blond laughed. "I never thought I'd see you so out of control. Always so calm and manipulative." Izaya grit his teeth. "Are you sure you were cured? We didn't know the full effects. Celty might have missed you."

"A monster as usual, Shizu-chan. Are you trying that hard to deny your feelings?" Shizuo didn't lower his head, he let his anger fill him, covering the void of his broken heart. "I don't feel anything for you, flea." Izaya smirked. "You're a horrible liar." He moved closer to the blond, cupping the other's chin.

"I hate you, why don't you leave already?" Izaya could see through the blond, bring their lips together. "Then why aren't you resisting?" Shizuo didn't say anything. "What make you think I wasn't affected?" Izaya paused, staring at him. "I remember every word between you and Celty. For some reason, you two were the only ones not affected."

"Shut up, Shizu-chan." Izaya pushed him onto the bed, stupidly he let him do it. He was in love with the flea and Izaya knew it. He tried not to moan as Izaya palmed his growing tent. "See, you're enjoying this." He was, damn it. Both of them froze as a female scream echoed through the door. "You were wrong, flea."

Pushing Izaya off him, he ripped the door from its hinges, trying to control his temper, so he didn't kill Shinra. Celty was crouched behind the sofa, hands around her knees. "What did you do?" Shinra looked up guilty. "It fell out of my pocket." Shizuo watched him pick up the scalpel, putting it back in his pocket. "S-Shizuo."

The blond gently picked her up, as she buried her head against his chest. "C-Celty, I'm sorry." Shizuo glared at him. "Get out, Shinra. You're not hurting her again." The doctor shook his head. "I didn't-" He could hear Izaya stepping out of the room. "Both of you. Get the hell out."

Izaya dodged the sofa thrown in his direction, he quickly pulled Shinra out of the way, so he didn't get hit by the table. "Well done, Shinra. You ruined my time with Shizu-chan." He ducked, narrowly avoiding the telephone. "We should let, Shizu-chan calm down. Next time keep the medical kit at home."

"It hurts. Shizuo." The blond sighed, hugging his friend. "I'm scared." This wasn't how she was, Celty was the strongest person he knew, she was his support, she made him feel less like a monster. "He's gone, Celty." The Dullahan nodded, her eyes closing.

When Kasuka visited his brother, the room was a mess. The phone lay broken in the corner of the room, the same as the table and the sofa. "Nii-san?" He found his brother sleeping in a chair beside Celty's bed. "Nii-san, you shouldn't sleep here." Shizuo yawned opening his eyes.

"Hey Kasuka, sorry about the mess." His brother looked at him with his usual blank expression. "What happened?" The blond shrugged. "Izaya and Shinra were here. Kasuka we're going back to Ikebukuro." His brother nodded, knowing Shizuo wouldn't run for long. "What about Celty?" Shizuo scowled. "I'll protect her. Can you watch her? I need a cigarette."
