ஜ Chapter 4: Guts ஜ
-Shizuo´s point of view-
This was seriously annoying. Initially it had been planned that they would take off with the bus as soon as they got to school in the morning. But nooooooo.
Of course that damned bus had to get a flat tire right in front of their school. If it weren´t for the fact that the bus driver had told them that the tires were just old he would have suspected the flea to be the culprit.
By now they had been standing there, waiting without knowing how long this would take, while the bus driver was getting his spare tire from the back of the bus.
It was only when the man returned while shaking his head and having the teacher walk next to him, that Shizuo suspected this would take longer than just a few minutes.
"Listen everyone," it was their teacher who started speaking. "Due to the bus not being able to drive us we will only take off around 11am. You are free to attend some other lessons or study in the meantime- I expect everyone that wants to partake in the trip to meet up in the arts room with their suitcases or they will get left behind."
Disapproving grumbling rippled through the assembled students. It wasn´t exactly like they could do anything at school except study or wait, so none of the pupils was even a little bit happy about this change in plans.
"How fucking great, now we have to wait." Shizuo wasn´t particularly amused either.
The future doctor next to him seemed to not mind this little event at all.
"Calm down, Shizuo, it's just a slight delay. Those two hours won't hurt anyone." He really didn´t seem to mind at all.
"Aren´t you annoyed that you can´t even go home to that girlfriend you are always talking about? Celty, right?" A grin flashed over the bespectacled boy´s face at the name.
He had told him a couple times now that he supposedly had a girlfriend at home that he wasn´t ever going to stop loving.
Sounded a little fishy; there was even a time where Shizuo suspected he might just have some poor girl kidnapped and locked at home. But then, Shinra wasn´t the type to do something like that. Nor was he the type to lie.
So either way, there had to be a girl called Celty that actually stayed at his place voluntarily.
He wondered why.
"That´s not an issue, Shizuo- In fact," he pulled a phone out of his pants pocket and flipped it open. "Since we are still at school and not on the bus, I can use the free wifi here to text with her until we leave. No problem at all."
Shinra sure was a lucky guy.
In a slightly better mood, Shizuo lifted his suitcase, taking Shinra´s too. After all, having to wait for the guy because the suitcase was too heavy for him to keep up would only annoy him.
Grinning, Shinra walked behind the blond, already having flipped out his phone and started texting. He was writing one message after the other, making Shizuo wonder if the girl was even replying or if Shinra was just spamming her.
The arts room wasn´t too far away from the school gate- in fact, it was the first room on the right of the hall. It was pretty big, and no one had lessons there, so they were allowed to drop their suitcases there until they were ready to leave.
Shizuo was just about to leave the room again after having dropped the two bags only to be interrupted by his history teacher.
"Ah, Heiwajima-kun. Good thing I found you. The nurse called for you; she wants to see you in the infirmary in five minutes." The blond blinked, and Shinra looked quite surprised, as well.
"The nurse?" He repeated, glancing at the blond. "Who did you beat up this time?"
"Wha- No one, I swear!" At last what he knew of- A slightly guilty feeling came over him as he thought of the possibility of having hurt someone without even noticing or intending to again.
The teacher stepped away again fairly quickly. It didn´t seem like she was even interested in watching whether or not Shizuo would do as she said- then again, even if he didn´t, she would probably not be crazy enough to try and force the blond to do anything.
Most of the teachers at school were terrified of Shizuo, and he knew that. He didn´t particularly mind anymore, though. After all, it made things a lot easier for him.
He got used to it, as well.
Leaving Shinra, who decided to happily text his girlfriend instead, behind, he made his way to the infirmary. It was down the corridor to the left of the arts room.
Not too far away, actually.
With weary steps, Shizuo walked down the corridor- he was still trying to think of just who he could have hurt today- but he kind of didn't remember anything too violent.
He did kinda throw a student down the street today, but he made sure he wouldn't crash into anything.
And he didn´t punch that other guy as hard, either-
Or did he?
The blond gulped as he let his hand grip the door handle, pressing it down- and opened the door.
"Good morning," he greeted politely, knowing the nurse here far too well already.
"Ah, Shizuo-kun, so you finally decided to show up." The nurse was sitting at her desk, not even turning around as she filled in some forms.
Only when she finished did she put the red pencil aside and turn around in her swivel chair, her long white coat brushing along the floor as she adjusted her green glasses.
"You beat people up all the time, then drag them here and drop them off so that I look after them. You are responsible for more than 70% of all my treatments here," she spoke, leaning on her right hand as she smiled.
The blond kind of did feel a bit guilty for that. "I know," he mumbled, expecting to get some kind of scolding now, since he obviously must have hurt someone by accident.
The woman grinned.
"Well then, I take it you won´t complain if I ask a favor of you, will you?" The blond blinked.
Wait, what?
"A favor?" He wasn´t getting into trouble?
"Exactly-" The woman got up from her chair, pushing the white curtain that had been closed up around one of the infirmary beds until now, revealing none other than-
"Izaya?!" The nurse glared at him right away as if she was trying to scold him just with her glance- the blond kept his mouth shut but still gaped at the nurse.
"He passed out and has a fever, it´s not serious, just looks like he over-exerted himself, but I hadn´t really had the chance to look at him," she started to explain. "Either way, we can't take a sick student with us on the trip."
That made sense- but why did she tell him that? He wasn´t particularly interested in the raven´s condition.
Suddenly, she got up from her chair, taking the medical bag she always carried around with her for emergencies.
"I've gotta hurry to the soccer team now. Seems some kind of fight took place, and they need a doctor there. So you will get that guy to his father. I called his parents, and his father is on his way. Obviously, Izaya won´t be able to go on the trip." The blond blinked, then frowned and stared at the still unconscious, or sleeping flea.
He couldn´t tell.
"Wait, you want me to carry that flea out there?" he repeated, not exactly delighted by the request.
She couldn´t be serious-
"Shizuo-kun," the nurse started, already making the blond regret his words. "I've fixed up everyone you beat up and brought to me so far - if I were in your shoes I would refrain from trying to anger the person that always cleans up after you. Understood~?"
Damn.
The blond sighed as the nurse left the room with a smile on her lips. "I´m counting on you here."
And with that, the door shut.
"... yes ma'am." It was only a quiet whisper that left the blond´s lips before he turned around to face the louse.
"Oi, flea." He pushed the raven´s shoulder, rather harsh, but oh well.
He didn´t move, though. Despite his earlier hope it seemed like Izaya really had passed out.
He wouldn't have put it past the flea to just have acted the part of a sick student so the nurse would order him to carry him around.
For fuck's sake.
"I swear, if you are just acting I´m going to freaking murder you," he grumbled as he pulled the blanket off the flea.
...
How was he even supposed to carry him?
The nurse said he had a fever or something.
...
He was tempted to just throw that flea bag over his shoulder- but then again, what if he was like Shinra? He shuddered as he remembered one time where he was dragging Shinra home like that and he freaking vomited on him because he carried him upside down.
He didn´t need that again- no thank you.
...
"Let´s get this shit done," he sighed and rolled the raven´s body to the side, so he was facing the edge of the bed- just about to fall down.
Shizuo was tempted to just let him roll of it- no, no. He had to do this serious.
He crouched down quickly, his back facing the raven as he pulled on his shirt to make him fall on top of him.
Well... At least that was the plan.
The flea did fall off the bed- alright, but Shizuo didn´t expect to lose balance and topple right over with the flea sprawled on his back.
Annoyed growling was to be heard from the boy as he heaved himself up again, of course without having the flea fall off again.
There was no way he was going to carry him like a fucking princess- on his back, giving a piggyback ride, that was the most he was willing to do.
If that flea would just wake up, this would be so much easier, but nooooo.
"I´m going to murder you, just so you know," the blond grumbled as he finally got on his feet.
That was when he felt the raven slipping on his right side, though-
God damnit.
This was going to be a long way until he was at the school gate.
After a few curses, and a couple of threats about how he was going to kill Izaya, Shizuo finally did it.
He was at the school gate.
It was almost a miracle that no one had seen them while he carried the stupid flea. But then again- it wasn´t break time at the moment, so why would anyone be in the halls?
Even those that were going on the trip were probably waiting on the arts room.
"There we are, flea," the blond sighed, now standing in front of the gate.
A black car was the first thing that he noticed when he stepped outside.
A man was sitting in the driver´s seat and slipped out once he spotted the blond.
"Ah, thank you. I´m sorry for the trouble my son caused," The man said immediately; he stayed next to his car, though.
Hmm.
He looked similar to Izaya in a way, though still different. By looking at the guy, Shizuo got the feeling that Izaya might take after his mother.
"Are you Izaya´s father?" The man smiled.
"Indeed I am. I was told he is too sick to attend the trip." Just as the nurse said.
He sighed and stepped away from the gate, towards the guy, intending to drop the flea in the car´s seat or something, but then he felt something shift on his back. He glanced over his shoulder, only to see that the flea had opened his eyes a bit.
Ah great, now that flea decided to wake up.
"Your dad is here to get you. I was just carrying you here cuz the nurse forced me to." Shizuo stated right away, just to make sure the flea didn´t get any weird ideas.
But somehow, no witty remark came.
Shizuo sure had expected one. Instead, the louse seemed to tense on his back.
"No…" he whispered. "..don´t…" Shizuo glanced at the raven on his back, confused. Izaya's father was still standing in front of them, holding open the black car's door, waiting for Shizuo to let the sick raven down. But hands dug into the blond's shoulders.
"… don't let him take me…" the raven whispered, definitely too quiet for his father to hear, but loud enough for Shizuo to understand.
... What?
"...please."
Instinctively he tightened his grip on the flea.
Something was off here.
Definitely off.
He didn´t know what it was, but the flea never said please. And definitely not to him.
Was he delirious?
The blond frowned as the man seemed to get a tad impatient. He glanced towards his watch, but didn´t say anything. He kept his smile in place.
But somehow, something just wasn´t right here.
His gut told him so.
Minutes seem to pass as he looked at that guy. He didn´t know what was wrong, but something was.
He didn´t know what it was, but his gut feeling screamed at him to not let that louse get into that car.
"Sorry." The word had slipped of his lips before he could stop himself.
"The nurse wasn´t able to call you back, since you were already here. She took a look at him and said it´s okay. He just felt lightheaded from lack of drinking. I´m about to take him to the infirmary until we take off."
He didn´t know where that lie came from, nor when he had learned to lie so smoothly, but it just spilled out.
The man´s smile dropped the slightest bit.
"Ah, is that so."
What was he even doing?
"Sorry for the inconvenience," Shizuo apologized; the raven hadn´t said another word.
Almost instantly, a gentle smile flashed over the man´s face.
"No, it´s alright. Thank you for taking care of my son, then." And with that, he slipped back into his car-
"... yeah." That was all the blond mumbled as the guy drove away.
And then he just stood there for a second, wondering.
Wondering just what the fuck he had done just now?!
What did he do?
Why did he not just let the raven down?
Stupid gut feeling, there wasn´t even anything wrong to begin wi-
"Thank you."
His eyes widened as he heard that silent whisper. He snapped his head around, but the flea had his eyes closed again and seemed to be out of it.
...
He had no idea what even happened just now, but somehow...
He felt like he did the right thing.
