Yeas, I know. I've haven't updated for a while, ne? ; m ;
So sorry~!
I've decided that I'm gonna change this story up :'D to make it a bit more interesting~
I've also decided to answer some questions in this author note (and the rest of the authors notes in the future!)
Sooo AHEM let me answer a couple of little questions, some of you as
okay umm
BlackSoulStar: Well yours wasn't a question but I'm gonna answer it (if that makes sense) well yeah Izaya and Mikado DO know each other in the anime when they're online, but in the Dollars chatroom, they pretend to not know each other in the chatroom (unless they make a private chat because they act as if do know each other) Since the Dollars don't like to blab each other's REAL names and such, because they don't like to use each others real identities, so they pretend not to know each other in the actual public chatroom (Like how Celty knows who Anri is, but doesn't tell anybody who Saika is). So I just made them pretend, ne? :3 I hope this make sense o m o
sathreal: Ah good observation~ But what better way to let the Dollars know that they MEAN business? If you get rid of the strongest man in Ikebukuro, people would fear them the most~ :D but yes you're still right, it's a bit of a leap to go after Shizuo
o 3 o lols
Okay now that I've answered those, I'm gonna stop blabbing and let you guys read o u o.
I don't own Durarara~
Outcome
"Yes. Okay, tomorrow at noon...Yes...Okay, goodbye, Shiki-san." Izaya said and hung up the phone. Shiki had just called him about the new gang, The Grey Souls. They decided to meet at Izaya's home to discuss the topic at noon, tomorrow. It seems as if Shiki sees the Grey Souls as a threat.
In all honesty, Izaya's interest of the Grey Souls, have completely deminished. Of course they did claim themselves as the official enemies of the Dollars, but Izaya just assumed that they were all bark but no bite. Besides, if they really were a threat, they would have done something threatening by now.
Izaya paced back and forth in his living room, while he was chewing on his manicured fingernails, wondering about Shizuo.
He knew that the brute was upset earlier, but he didn't know that he would be punched by him! His right cheek still stung from the pain, but Izaya chose to ignore it. That wasn't the problem now. The problem was that Shizuo was gone for three and a half hours, and he still wasn't back. Although he was the strongest man in Ikebukuro, it doesn't mean that a gunshot to the head wouldn't kill him.
Izaya stopped pacing and froze, and thought in horror. 'What if...he's dead?' Izaya thought. It felt as if his heart stopped, and his blood froze. It was getting difficult to breathe. Izaya rose his right arm and clenched his chest, where his heart would be, gasping for air.
'Am I having a heart attack?' he thought incredulously, then shook his head to himself, 'No. If I were having a heart attack, my heart would have been hurting.'
No, he wasn't having a heart attack, but he was having a panic attack. His legs were wobbling, which was making hard to stand, and it was still hard for him to breathe.
'Calm down. Calm down. He's alright. He's perfectly fine. He's the strongest man in Ikebukuro. There's no need to worry.' he thought in his mind over and over. If his thoughts were true, then why was he still shaking, and having trouble breathing?
It's because he's lying to himself.
He wasn't sure if it were true or not if he was okay. The only thing that was replaying in his mind was 'Shizuo, Shizuo, Shizuo.' he couldn't help it. He was really worried for him.
Suddenly he heard his front door open slowly, and heard wobbling footsteps. Izaya didn't bother locking the door when Shizuo left.
Izaya suddenly stopped having his panic attack and raced to his front door to find Shizuo Heiwajima himself with a bouquet of red and yellow roses in his hands.
Izaya had smiled at the brute, knowing that the flowers were most likely symbolizing an apology. The flowers were a bit corny, but it didn't matter to Izaya, he was glad that Shizuo was back home with him.
Izaya stepped toward the brute, motioning to give him a hug, but...something wasn't right. Izaya's smile disappeared, and his face turned into a horrified stare when he discovered the bloodstains on Shizuo's clothes.
Izaya stepped a bit closer to observe the other, "Shi-Shizu-chan?" he called. Shizuo stared at him with heavy eyelids, then finally smirked at the raven, "Sup, Izzy..." he slurred, and suddenly hugged the raven, having all of his weight leaning on him.
Izaya struggled with the brute's weight, and smelled a alcohol on his breath, "Shizu-chan, have you been drinking?" he asked incredulously.
"Mmm...I dunno..." he slurred again, chuckling under his breath.
Yes, he's drunk.
Izaya closed the front door and managed to drag the drunken ruffian to his leather couch and dropped him there. As Izaya plopped the brute on the couch, he saw blood now on his hands.
"Shizu-chan! What happened? Why are you bleeding?" he asked frantically, searching for areas where Shizuo was bleeding at. He soon found gunshot wounds on his shoulder and arm.
"Shizu-chan...what happened?" he asked again.
"Well..." Shizuo started. Great, he's injured and he's drunk. What a terrible combination, "I walked...and walked...and then...these guys came up to me and shot me." Shizuo said slowly, and motioned his hand to make it look like a gun ,"Pew pew~" he said, making the childish gunshot noise.
Izaya quickly pulled out his cellphone and dialed Shinra's phone number waiting for him to pick up.
"Who you callin' Izzy-chaan?" Shizuo slurred. Izaya rolled his eyes at the obviously drunken man, "I'm calling Shinra, so he can patch you up." Izaya answered simply. Even though Shizuo was shot at, Izaya knew that he was going to be okay for awhile...well at least until Shinra arrives.
Finally the phone answered to a groggy Shinra, "Hello?" he mumbled into the speaker.
"Shinra, I need you to come to my house, quickly. Shizu-chan's been shot." Izaya explained.
"Wha-? Okay, Celty and I are on our way." he said, now fully awake. Izaya sighed annoyingly at the statement. The last time he confronted Celty was when he had threatened her with his pocket knife. This wasn't going to be a good reunion. But it didn't matter. He just wanted Shizuo to be okay.
"Okay, but hurry." he said.
"Yeah, we're on our way." Shinra replied, and with that, Izaya hung up the phone, and looked at his drunken companion and sighed, "Shizu-chan, you're so reckless."
"Izzy-chan...don't yooou like my...present?" Shizuo asked and held up the bouquet of roses that were still in his hands.
Izaya took the flowers and laid them gently down on the nearby coffee table, "Yes, Shizu-chan, they're beautiful." Izaya smiled weakly at the brute and sat down next to him, "Tell me, Shizu-chan, what happened?" he asked once again, dying to know what occured while Shizuo was absent.
"These...guys shot me..." he said.
"Yes, you said that. Who were these guys?"
"They...they were punks...in gray suits. Said something about... their souls bein'...gray? I dunno...but I fucked them up anywaaaays..." Shizuo explained. Izaya put two and two together and finally understood that it indeed was the Grey Souls who attacked him. They must've known that Shizuo was a member of the Dollars. If that were true, then they must have known the active and inactive members of the Dollars. How could they have so much information? Izaya shivered at the thought.
"Then!" Shizuo continued, "Then...I went to the baar...and had about six shoots...of vodka..."
"Vodka?" Izaya hissed, "Shizu-chan, that's a strong drink!"
"Yessir..." Shizuo answered with a lopsided grin covering his face, "I ...wanted it to...sting...like a bee."
"Why?" Izaya asked and started to gently massage the brute's scalp.
"Because...I deserved it..." Shizuo said, with his grin disappearing. He put his hand on Izaya's bruised cheek and stroked it gently with his thumb. Izaya winced a bit but tried his best to ignore it.
"Imma... bastard... I shouldn't hurt...you..." he whispered.
"Shizu-chan it's okay, I'm fine... I-" Izaya whispered back.
"No! Fuck that!" Shizuo growled. He grabbed Izaya's non injured wrist and pulled him onto his lap. He wrapped is arms around the lithe man's waist, and moved his face into the crook in the other's neck, and began sucking and nibbling on the sensitive skin.
"Ahh...Shizu-chan." Izaya moaned, snaking his hands to the back of Shizuo's head, and yanking his hair.
"Nnnng...fuck that...I shouldn't hurt you..." Shizuo growled. He stopped his assault on the raven's neck and moved his lips to the informant's ear and whispered, "I...am so sorry...please, Izaya...forgive me." he pleaded, and kissed his ear.
Izaya shuddered at the whispers and kisses, "Shizu-chan...of course I forgive you." Izaya sighed, "Then what happened...after the bar?"
"I...went to the flower store...and bought you flowers...then came here~" he replied, and snuggled his face in the crook of Izaya's neck.
"Shizu-chan..." Izaya mumbled, and started to rub gently on the back if Shizuo's head, but then he heard a small scratching sound, coming from the front door.
"What the hell was that?" Izaya mumbled, but mostly to himself. Shizuo groaned into Izaya's neck, mumbling something as well, but was inaudible. Izaya wriggled free from Shizuo's grasp and went toward the front door. Afraid that it may be a member of the Grey Souls, Izaya looked through his peephole, but no one was there. Izaya wasn't a fool; if he would've open the door, he might have been ambushed from the Grey Souls.
About to go back in the living room to grab his pocket knife, the scratching sound from before happened again. Izaya looked through the peephole once more, and still saw no one there.
"Shibo... go away!" the drunken blonde yelled from the living room. Izaya looked turned around, confused, "Shibo?" he asked, "Who's Shibo?"
"Open ...the door, Izzy-chan~! He's not gonna...bite you~!"Shizuo yelled over the couch again. Izaya hesitated for a moment. He wasn't sure if he should take Shizuo's suggestion or not, but decided to open the door anyways.
Izaya slowly cracked the door open and peeked through the crack of the door. Izaya opened the door a little wider to have a better view of what was outside of his apartment. Suddenly, something quickly dashed through Izaya's door and ran into the livingroom.
"What the hell?!" Izaya exclaimed shocked, and quickly closed the front door, and locking it. He raced into the livingroom to figure out what in the hell just ran inside of his apartment; only to find a filthy, chubby, gray and white puppy, with triangular ears sitting by Shizuo's foot, and wagging its tail like no tomorrow.
"Shizu-chan, who the hell's dog is that?" Izaya asked, with a slight agitation tone in his voice.
"Shibo..." Shizuo answered flatly.
"I didn't ask for its name, Shizu-chan. I asked who does it belong to?" Izaya hissed. He wasn't a dog lover. In fact, he didn't like them at all. They stink, they always bark, they poop and urinate wherever they please, they attract rodents and they were like infants that never grew up. All of that is what Izaya despised. He was more of a cat person. They rarely make noise, they clean themselves, they use the restroom properly, they actually kill rodents, and they were a very solitude type animal. Like himself.
"I...dunno, Izzy-chan~" Shizuo giggled. God, he was absolutely unbearable when he wasn't sober.
"Where did he come from?" Izaya hissed, obviously annoyed.
"Ah...he followed me...after I got shot. He waited at the...bar...and at the flower place...then..." he paused, "He followed me...HERE!" Shizuo laughed, as if he told the funniest joke in the world.
Izaya rolled his eyes at his drunken boyfriend, "Well, he can't stay here, Shizu-chan." he said. Shizuo ceased his laughing and looked at Izaya in horror, "What? No!" Shizuo exclaimed. He immediately stood up, making 'Shibo' quickly move out the way, and the drunken Shizuo stumbled towards Izaya. He wrapped his arms around the smaller man, as he leaned down to rest his head on Izaya's shoulder, having all of his weight on Izaya.
"Ah! Shizu-chan! Stop! You're really heavy!" Izaya groaned, trying to support the brute's weight, "Sit back down, you shouldn't be standing up!"
"Noouuu! I wanna keep him!" Shizuo whined, being totally out of character.
"Shizu-chan! I work all day, and so do you! There's no way that we can look after this dog!" Izaya hissed, trying to guide Shizuo back to the couch.
"Nnnnnngg!" Shizuo groaned, still pouting.
"Shizu-chan! Go sit back down, you going to hur-" Izaya was cut off with Shizuo's lips, smashed onto his own. It wasn't their normal, passionate kisses, it was more like a pleading kiss, so that 'Shibo' could stay with them. Shizuo drunkenly thrusted his tongue inside Izaya's mouth, tasting Izaya's sweet tongue. Izaya tasted the alcohol on Shizuo's tongue, but accepted it anyways. It didn't matter if Shizuo was drunk, he needed this. They both needed this. It's been way too long, even if it was for six days.
Shizuo's hands roamed all over Izaya's lithe body, until they reached the hems of his pants. Shizuo tried to tug them down for his own desires, but couldn't, mainly because Izaya had a belt on, but Shizuo was too drunk to notice.
"Nng! Stupid...pants..." Shizuo groaned on Izaya's lips.
"Shizu-chan. We shouldn't anyways, you're bleeding. Also, Celty and Shinra should be here any minute." Izaya protested.
"Nngg...fine..." Shizuo replied, and gave up on trying to pull Izaya's pants off. Izaya guided Shizuo back to the leather couch and sat him down gently.
"Nnng...Izaya...?" Shizuo called when he sat down.
"Yes, Shizu-chan?"
"Why can't pants...be a singular word? It's always plural." Shizuo grunted.
Izaya raised a brow at his question, but what should you expect from a drunken brute like Shizuo. Him asking very stupid questions.
"Shizu-chan, don't ask such idiotic questions." Izaya sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"I'm...SERIOUS!" Shizuo exclaimed.
"Why won't you ask Shinra and Celty. They will be happy to help you." Izaya groaned. As if on cue, there was knocking on Izaya's front door. Izaya went to the front door and found Shinra and Celty. He let them in and escorted them to the living room where Shizuo laid.
Shinra wasn't as badly injured as before. His neck brace was off, and the cast on his right arm was removed as well. The only thing that remained was the cast on his hip and the cast on his leg, which was still the reason he was still in the wheelchair.
"Have no need to fear! Shinra's here!" Shinra grinned at Shizuo, as he pulled out his briefcase full of medical supplies.
"Shinra! Tell me! Why is...pants always...plural...? Never singular...? Izzy-chaan won't tell mee...!" Shizuo exclaimed. Shinra looked at Shizuo with a confused face, then looked at Izaya, "What's wrong with him?" Shinra asked.
"He's drunk." Izaya huffed, "Just ignore it."
Shinra frowned at him, "Well that's not good. alcohol makes you dehydrated. Blood loss and dehydration doesnt mix. What kind of alcohol did he drink?"
"Vodka..." Izaya answered.
"Geez! That's like the worst thing to drink in this situation!" Shinra exclaimed, having Shizuo take of his shirt, " Vodka is a hypertonic solution."
"Eh?" Shizuo blurted.
"It means that, Vodka tries to sucks most of the water out of your system. Therefore you need to drink lots of water." Shinra explained slowly. He used one of his tools to pry one of the bullets out from Shizuo's shoulder.
"Ooohh..." Shizuo replied, not feeling any pain when Shinra pried one of the many bullets lodged in his skin.
"Oh, by the way." Shinra said, "I never knew that you guys had a puppy~" Shinra smiled. Izaya turned around to find Celty petting the chubby gray and white puppy on the floor.
"Ah, do you want to keep it? I have no desire to keep it in my house." Izaya asked.
"No! That's...MY puppy! I'm keepin' Shibo...!" Shizuo growled. Izaya rolled his eyes at Shizuo and ignored his statement, "Ignore him."
"Haha, sorry, we don't have any room for a puppy. If ya haven't noticed, our apartment is way smaller than yours, Izaya." Shinra answered, "Or should I say, 'Izzy-chan'~" Shinra teased.
Izaya's face turned into a flushed red color. That nickname was downright embarrassing. He mentally cursed Shizuo for giving him such a horrible nickname. Maybe this is what it felt like when he called Shizuo, 'Shizu-chan' all the time.
Izaya rolled his eyes at the underground doctor and walked over to where Celty was at, who was still playing with Shibo. He thought now was the time to apologize to her, since this was the first time he's actually seen her in weeks. Izaya inwardly sighed to himself. He rarely apologized to anyone; especially people whom he had assaulted. But now he thought it would he best if he would make amends with her.
First, he made sure that Shizuo or Shinra weren't listening to what he was about to say to Celty. He looked back over to where the two were sitting. Shizuo was still on the couch, blabbing about the pants situation, while Shinra was prying out the bullets in his skin, and surprisingly, Shinra was indulging himself into Shizuo's rambling.
Izaya sighed a relief sigh, and sat down on the floor, next to Celty. She was currently giving Shibo a belly rub, and Shibo was happily squirming on his back as she gave him much-needed affection.
"Um...Celty?" Izaya called her name, quietly. Celty turned her body to face him. She cocked her helmet to the side, symbolizing that she was listening to him.
"I just wanted to..." Izaya paused and sighed to himself, "I just wanted to apologize, for what I did, the last time we've encountered."
Celty ceased petting Shibo and pulled out her PDA, and began typing a response, [It's fine. I understand. You were just upset on what this curse was doing to you.]
"Right, about that...is it over? The curse I mean." Izaya replied. Celty typed another response and shoved the PDA in his face, [No. The curse will not go away until you and Shizuo have learned your lesson. Until then, involuntary things will continue to happen between you two.]
Izaya quirked a brow, "What do you mean by that?"
[The voices in your head that you've mentioned...I'm pretty sure their the ones that is responsible for you ending up in the hospital?] she typed. Izaya remained quiet.
[Sleepless nights. You in the hospital. Shizuo getting shot at. The voices in your head. Your thoughts on suicide. Do you think that all of these things are just mere coincidences?] she continued, [All of these things are just leading up to the actual curse. So until you guys figure out your solution, these things will not stop.]
"But...but the voices in my head...they've stopped." Izaya whispered, mostly to himself. Celty began typing on her PDA again, [If that's the case, you've already learned your lesson.]
"What the hell is the exact lesson here, Celty?" Izaya hissed quietly, "And if I've already learned my lesson, then why can't this curse be lifted?"
[You've already have learned your lesson, but Shizuo did not. It's Shizuo's turn to figure out what he needs to do. The curse cannot be lifted until you AND Shizuo learned the lesson.] she texted, [And if he doesn't learn, there will be an endless cycle of evil that will plague the both of you.]
"...and...what will happen if he never learns?" Izaya asked hesitantly.
[We'll just have to wait and see. But I'll warn you...It won't be a pretty outcome.] she answered, and began petting the half asleep puppy again. She paused for a moment and texted a continuous response to the informant.
[And that outcome, Izaya, is the curse.]
